Chapter 144: 34: The price is always heavy

Shirai Anko often feels abandoned by the world.

When your parents are fighting, when you are alone at home, when your parents are getting divorced, when you see others have good friends at school.
But it has never been as deep and unbearable as it is now.

She returned home wet and in a mess, and the hungry little honey came up to her and acted coquettishly.

Bai Jing was covered in water and didn't dare to dirty the little honey.

But little Honey came up to him and didn't seem to mind.

"I'm sorry, honey, I don't think I can go on with you."

“I’m so tired, living.”

"Don't worry. Before you leave, I will help you find a good family. What do you think of the store manager? Although he likes to brag, he is actually a very caring person. He once said that he wanted to have a cat."

"Meow~"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really didn't know it was so difficult to live."

"Meow meow."

The girl and the cat lay on the ground, snuggling with each other.

The next day, Super Typhoon Straw made landfall as scheduled.

The violent storm gives people a suffocating feeling as if their heart is heavy.

Shirai put on his raincoat, put little Honey in a waterproof cat cage, took the only bag of cat food and the remaining chicken breast in the refrigerator, and visited the store manager's home.

"It was raining so hard that I thought you wouldn't come."

The store manager was a little surprised to see her, and then looking at the weather outside, it was hard to imagine what kind of determination made her go out just to give the cat away. You know, he didn't even open the store in this weather.

"It's already been agreed upon." Shirai put down the cat cage and cat food.

"Is your name Little Honey? So cute, and the same color as honey. Shirai, would you like to come in and sit for a while? Have a cup of tea?" The manager teased the baby a few times through the cage, and the adult in his forties showed a childlike smile.

"No. I have something else to do, Manager. I can't come to work in the future." Shirai bowed solemnly to apologize.

"I see. If there is anything going on at home, you can tell me how I can help. If you want to come back or bring little Honey back in the future, that's fine. I also encountered things that I could hardly handle back then. But now, everything is fine. Just like this typhoon, it looks fierce, but I know it can't crush us."

The store manager may have noticed something, and said these words with concern and earnestness.

Shirai didn't say much, just bowed deeply, looked at Little Honey with nostalgia, and turned and left.

"Boss, please give me a bowl of shrimp noodles."

"Please wait."

An inconspicuous noodle shop that insists on opening even on typhoon days.

Shirai clearly remembers that her mother brought her here to eat noodles when she was a child.

A bowl of hot shrimp noodles was soon served.

The ingredients were simple, not as luxurious as what she and Hirosue had last time.

I took a sip and it tasted familiar.

But it tastes a bit salty.

It has a bitter taste.

A tissue was handed to Shirai.

It was the proprietress who was wiping the table nearby.

She smiled brightly, patted Shirai's shoulder gently, and used sign language to wipe away her tears.

"Thanks."

【be strong】

She "said" this.

Shirai slowly finished the bowl of noodles before wiping away his tears.

"Boss, check out."

"Hmm? Haha, just think of it as my treat! I remember you. Although you've grown up a lot, you've come here with your mother a few times before, right? You said it was delicious when you first came. I'll remember that for the rest of my life."

Shirai nodded somewhat dazedly, she didn't remember saying this.

The boss gave her a thumbs up and said, "I look forward to your next visit! This time, just think of it as me treating you, my old customer."

"Thank you, thank you."

Walking out of the noodle shop, she looked up at the dark sky with her eyes slightly shining, and then quickly dimmed.

Why is it that the light of life can only be seen at the end of the journey? Blowing the wind, she walked all the way to the Rainbow Bridge.

This is where my father jumped.

She also chose to end her life here.

The organ donation has been signed and the ambulance has been called, so...
She leaped into the howling wind.

"What's wrong."

"Well, I see."

After sitting in the car for several hours, Guang Mo was silent for a moment, sent a text message to a long-unknown number on his mobile phone, and then said to the driver: "Let's go to the Rainbow Bridge."

Just think of them as crocodile tears.

"She still has value." Hirosue tried to convince himself.

The driver drove to the Rainbow Bridge, and based on the reported location, she had already seen Shirai walking in the wind and rain.

"I'm getting off here."

"Yes."

The driver didn't dare to delay and slowed down and stopped.

Hirosue got out of the car. The heavy rain quickly wet her hair and clothes. At the edge of the bridge, she watched Shirai climb over the railing, and without any hesitation, she opened her arms and jumped down.

He threw his cell phone onto the car, accelerated and jumped over the railing.

thump!
Bai Jing fell into the river.

She didn't feel any pain, nor did she think about it. She just let her body sink actively, watching the ripples on the water above. Her heart was calm. It turned out that it was possible to hide from the rain underwater.

But soon, her body's survival instinct made her heart beat violently, and the hasty suffocation made her feel painful.

It's okay, it will be fine soon.

Pain is temporary, rest is eternal.

Shirai, you will be freed from this hell.

Boom!

A bubble bloomed above her, and a figure whose face could not be seen clearly appeared.

She held out her hand to Shirai.

Shirai shook his head and turned around, wanting to dive deeper.

But her hand was caught.

Shirai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse, perhaps because he was afraid that his struggle would cause the other person to become unable to leave the water.

At the same time, she seemed to feel a hope for life, a hope that would allow her to feel good again.

"call--"

The two girls walked ashore. They had been washed down a long distance. Shirai suddenly felt that it was a bit stupid for her to jump into the river and call an ambulance. Perhaps hanging herself would be more suitable for her.

But now, she saw clearly that the person holding her hand was Hirosue Yoshimiya. In her memory, Hirosue Yoshimiya had never been so embarrassed.

The two of them walked to the shore, and Guangsue took the initiative to let go of her hand. After looking back at her, he walked straight towards the embankment without saying a word.

"Hiromote, your experiment is not over yet?"

Hirosue ignored it.

"I feel the power you speak of, but is it really that important?"

Hirosue stopped and turned back slightly. She saw Shirai looking at her with moist eyes. She slowly stretched out her hand. There was a soft white light in the palm of her hand.

Nodding slightly, she turned back and continued forward.

"I hate you forever."

Hirosue paused for a moment, but it lasted less than half a second before she quickly walked up to the embankment with firm steps.

Saki Kondo appeared in front of her, looked at her with complicated eyes, then walked down the embankment and walked towards Shirai who was sitting there.

"Miss! Do you need to go to the hospital first?" Several wet men in suits came over nervously with umbrellas.

"Send me home." Guangsue shook his head.

She felt it.

Her power is also being born.
