Not two days after meeting the somewhat mysterious little girl, Okino Mina once again went to the Metropolitan Police Department for some reasons.

When leaving, she walked through the parking lot as usual and subconsciously glanced at the flower bed where the little girl appeared a few days ago.

【No one is there…】

There was no one there.

Mina Okino smiled and shook her head.

She was really curious about the little girl’s story. Why did the child sneak out of the school and come to the Metropolitan Police Department?

But after all, she has no connection with her, so how could she come here every day?

Maybe even her encounter with the little girl two days ago was an accident of some unique nature.

Shaking her head again, Okino Mina didn’t think about it any more.

But, speaking of it…

Just when she was about to let it go, Okino Mina suddenly thought of something else in her mind.

The little girl’s hair is very unique. Although the slightly golden silver hair is rare, this is not the first time Okino Mina has seen it.

Yes, she had seen this particular hair color on another person before, and this person also knew her.

A certain coward named Karasuma.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that the little girl looked very similar to a certain coward. The ages of both parties seemed to be consistent with the relationship between mother and daughter?

Wait, could it be…

As soon as a bold idea came up, Okino Mina rejected it herself.

Because this is too far-fetched and illogical, and there is no evidence to prove it.

Moreover, to be honest, Okino Mina had not seen Karasuma-chan for a long time, and her memory of Karasuma-chan’s appearance began to blur uncontrollably.

In addition, she has settled in RB in the past few years and has almost no contact with European and American people. How can I put it… She has become a bit face-blind. Now when she sees white people in Europe and America, she feels that they look the same and there is no difference… …

At this time, she would associate two unrelated people together just because of similar hair color. For a phantom thief who is good at disguise, this is a shameful mistake…

“I’m starting~”

That night, at Okino Mina’s house, three people sat at the dining table and prepared to use chopsticks after shouting as usual.

These three people are Okino Mina who is in charge of cooking, her three-year-old daughter Yoko, and Shirakawa Kiyo who has just gotten off work from the Metropolitan Police Department.

On average, once every two or three days, Okino Mina would always call Shirakawa Kiyo over for dinner from time to time.

The reason has been explained before. She was not at all comfortable leaving Bai Heqing alone. If she really did so, this man might suddenly die one day.

Of course, her daughter Yoko also likes Shirakawa very much…

If that’s the case, why don’t she just marry Bai Heqing?

This thought came to Okino Mina’s mind more than once.

But she rejected it immediately every time.

Although judging from the current situation, this is not a bad decision, it can even be said to be very good…

After all, you see, Yoko likes Shirakawa Kiyo very much, and she herself gets along very well with Shirakawa Kiyo. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are close friends. What’s more, they are both “widows” and are married. For adults who have experienced the same tragedy, it seems to be the most suitable choice to come together like this, and it is also in line with the ending of the general story…

But it still doesn’t work.

Okino Mina had a reason why she couldn’t do this.

First of all, from an emotional point of view, although she and Bai Heqing do get along very well, her feelings for Bai Heqing are more of a “best friend” or “sister”, not a love between a man and a woman. I believe that here The same goes for a little bit of Shirakawa Kiyo.

Furthermore, from Shirakawa Kiyoshi’s point of view, this man has been with someone for a long time. Okino Mina has always believed that a certain coward who ran away quietly has completely disappeared in the past few years, but he will definitely come back in the future.

When the time comes, when that coward comes back, hey, Shirakawa Kiyo is with her… Tsk, Tsk, Okino Mina herself doesn’t dare to think about that scene, and she can’t do such a thing to her friend.

Finally, from Mina Okino’s own perspective, she loved her husband deeply, so even though her husband had passed away, she would never do such a thing.

Bai Heqing had a close relationship with her, but the two of them had never done anything that crossed the line.

Therefore, although it seems a bit selfish, it is enough to maintain their current relationship…

“Bai He, the soup is spilled…”

Just when Mina Okino was daydreaming in her mind, her super cute baby daughter Yoko suddenly turned her head to look at Shirakawa Kiyoshi who was sitting next to her and said in a baby voice.

There was a bib hanging on Yoko’s chest. She was over three years old and could eat by herself.

But I don’t know why, when her baby daughter was scooping soup with a spoon, her white and tender little hands suddenly shook, spilling all the miso soup in the little spoon, and it all got on her chin and saliva napkin.

Yoko, who had made such a mistake, did not seek help from her gentle and virtuous mother. Instead, she immediately turned to look at Shirakawa Qing beside her.

Speaking of which, according to the normal rules of address, Yoko cannot call the elder Shirakawa Kiyoshi by his first name. No matter what, he has to add “uncle” at the end.

Although Okino Mina had tried to correct it before, but… Yoko seemed to particularly like this title. Coupled with Shirakawa Kiyoshi’s own indifference to it, this somewhat disrespectful title was just acquiesced.

“Ok?”

Bai Heqing, who was just about to pick up the food, heard Yoko’s voice, immediately put down his chopsticks and took the tissue next to him.

“Come on, shut up and let me clean it for you.”

Not finding it troublesome at all, Shirakawa Qing smiled slightly, stretched out his hand behind Yoko to support her body, and with the other hand took a tissue and carefully wiped the soup off her chin, saying at the same time:

“Yoko, you have to be careful when drinking soup, do you understand?”

“Ah.”

She nodded slightly and watched Shirakawa Qing taking his hand back. Her beloved daughter Yoko was quite “pushing forward” and handed the bowl of miso soup in front of her to Shirakawa Qing, opening her mouth wide.

“Bai He, feed me.”

“Yoko is already three years old and should learn to eat on his own.”

Bai Heqing did not take the bowl she handed him immediately.

“No, I want Shirakawa to feed me today.”

Yoko continued to ask, her hands still in the posture of handing the bowl to Shirakawa Kiyoshi.

So it’s just for today?”

With a look of helplessness on his face, Bai Heqing did not refuse anymore, but took the bowl in her hand, which undoubtedly made Yoko very happy.

“hey-hey……”

But Okino Mina, who witnessed this scene from the sidelines, was a little unhappy.

White teeth!

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong with her baby girl!

Looking at her daughter who opened her mouth happily and was happily fed by Shirakawa Kiyoshi, Okino Mina frowned, and suddenly an idea popped up in her heart.

Yoko, she just…couldn’t she have spilled the soup on purpose? Do children at this age understand these little thoughts? !

White teeth!

White teeth! White teeth!

This is really wrong!

“cough!”

With a dry cough, Okino Mina smiled at Shirakawa Kiyo and said:

“Shirakawa, give me the bowl and I’ll do it.”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll just come.” Bai Heqing replied casually, and then carefully fed Yoko the soup with a happy face.

This scene made Okino Mina’s eyebrows jump wildly.

What doesn’t matter? !

My daughter is probably trying to trick you! you idiot!

No, wait…

Calm down first, maybe this is just her overthinking?

After all, you see, Yoko is still so young. Most children of this age don’t even know a few words. How could she…

“Shirakawa, my birthday is coming soon, I want a gift.”

Just as Okino Mina was trying to convince herself, Yoko, who had just licked the soup spoon handed to her by Shirakawa Kiyoshi, suddenly spoke again, with an innocent smile on her young face.

Looking at this scene, Mina Okino tried hard to maintain a gentle smile.

[Well, no problem, I must be just overthinking it. 】

As the title says, New Year’s Day, take a day off

Chapter 725 Do you need me to propose to you?

That night after dinner, after coaxing her baby daughter to sleep, Mina Okino took Shirakawa Kiyoshi back to his apartment.

“Indeed, Yoko’s birthday is coming soon.”

Walking side by side on the road, Bai Heqing suddenly spoke.

“The Metropolitan Police Department has been busy recently, and I almost forgot about this matter. Mina, what do you think I should give her?”

“Uh, this kind of thing is casual…” Okino Mina came back to her senses and replied: “Yoko is so young that she doesn’t need anything as a gift. If you really want to give it as a gift, just buy some snacks or clothes for her. Her.”

“Is that so…that’s fine.” Bai Heqing nodded thoughtfully after hearing the words.

“Well, Bai He…”

Ending the topic, Mina Okino turned to look at him and said hesitantly:

“I always feel that Yoko seems to be particularly close to you…”

She still couldn’t let go of what happened at dinner before.

It’s not that Okino Mina is overly concerned, the main reason is that Yoko rarely spills her spoon when she only eats with her. Even if it happens occasionally, Yoko will wipe it with a paper towel. She doesn’t care at all. She needs to worry about it.

Not to mention having to ask Bai Heqing to wipe her mouth and feed her soup like today. This set of combos was so smooth that it made her feel weird as a mother.
