The scenery outside the window of the Shinkansen train keeps flowing backwards, but to Yaya, it is just an image that catches his eyes.All kinds of thoughts are intertwined, in a state of chaos that can never be sorted out. Suddenly realizing that someone was talking to her, Ya also hurriedly turned her head.Lai Jiang smiled wryly. "I'm in a daze again. You've been feeling weird since yesterday." "It's nothing, I feel a little depressed when I think about what will happen after returning to Tokyo." "Didn't I introduce you to my brother's company?"

"Jewelry work? I can't do it. By the way, what did you just say?" "I mean, I asked you to accompany me to Kyoto, but in the end I fell ill, and you just took care of me." "Don't worry, I haven't been to Kyoto for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to go and have a look. Let's not talk about this, how do you feel?" "It's okay, I ate breakfast on time in the morning." Lai Jiang narrowed his eyes. Yesterday, Ya also turned late at night in Kyoto.He wanted to try his best to find someone who knew Meidong, but the time was too short and there were no clues, so it was impossible to have any results.He was exhausted when he returned to the hotel, but he was worried that Lai Jiang would be suspicious, so he went to her room to check.Perhaps because of the medicine, Lai Jiang had been sleeping before he knocked on the door, and even asked him where he had been.

"Your younger sibling...is called Meidong. Do you plan to continue investigating her in the future? You said last night that you don't want to investigate anymore." Lai Jiang tilted his head. "It's hard to say. I didn't prepare enough this time. At the critical moment, I fell ill again and couldn't do anything." "It may not be appropriate for me to say these words, but I think you'd better not investigate. At this stage, your siblings are fine, right? You should trust your younger brother's vision. The most important thing is..." Ya also adjusted her breathing, and then said , "It's a pity to waste time on this kind of thing, you have your own life."

Lai Jiang's drooping eyelashes twitched violently.She rolled her eyes and looked at him, blinking. "Thank you, you are so considerate." "Where." Ya also shook her head, and turned her gaze out of the window again. Now Yaya's mind is still full of the photos that Fukasawa showed him.The girl in the photo is not the same as Mifuyu, but she is the real Xinhai Mifuyu. Who is the woman who has been with me since the morning of the earthquake? Ya also still can't accept the fact that she is an impostor.For Yaya, she is none other than Xin Hai Mifuyu. Last night he almost stayed up all night, his heart was shaken many times, he wanted to call Meidong and ask her who she meant.His hand ended up not reaching for the phone.Let's investigate further.But this is just an excuse to convince yourself.How would she react when she heard her questioning?To be honest, he was afraid to know.

Ya also saw her for the first time on the morning of the earthquake, and later, she knew her name in the shelter where the corpses were brought in one after another.She was questioned by the police in front of her parents' bodies.Did she show the police anything identifying her at that time?Ya also speculated that there must be no, at least there is no need to show it.People who escaped from that unprecedented disaster would never be suspected if they said they did not bring their ID documents.The police did not ask Ya to produce similar documents either. If you want to replace someone else's identity, it must be that time.

Yaya still vividly remembers Meifuyu's appearance at that time.Only the clothes she was wearing, no luggage, shivering with cold and hugging her knees, was almost raped in the dark, and was later saved by him.She had the appearance of a victim who suddenly encountered misfortune, and she was no different from the people around her. But even when she was shivering from the cold, she wasn't thinking about escape but about other things.She wanted to take a gamble, to use this disaster to pass off someone else's name and become that person completely. Why is she doing this?What are the benefits of becoming Shinkai Mito?Could it be that they coveted the Xinhai couple's property?They should have little property.Is it insurance money?

Ya also had another question in his mind.Even if Meidong pretended to be someone else, why didn't you tell me about it?Over the past four years, the two have overcome various hardships and resorted to unscrupulous means.Both of them hide their original faces, and only show them when they are alone—it should be only in the dark that they reveal their true nature to each other. But she didn't show her real face to me.Were all the nights I spent with her phantoms? When she came back to her senses, Ya also found that Lai Jiang had fallen asleep next to her, and she might still have a low fever.It's about an hour to Tokyo.

Does Lai Jiang plan to continue investigating Meidong in the future?The trip to Kyoto had changed her mind, but not dispelled her doubts.In the future, due to a certain opportunity, she may become wary of Meidong again. Due to the sudden fever, Lai Jiang didn't realize Meidong's secret, so he couldn't be so lucky next time, and he couldn't guarantee that he could go with her at that time. Ya also stared at the sleeping Lai Jiang for a while, closed her eyes, and secretly made up her mind. It was just after five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Tokyo Station.

"What should we do? It's a little early for dinner." After leaving the station, Lai Jiang looked at his watch and said. "It's best to go back early today, otherwise it will be troublesome if it burns again." "It's all right." "You can't be so careless. Get in a taxi and I'll see you off." Lai Jiang's eyes were mixed with surprise and joy. "You give me?" "Ok." "Our direction is exactly the opposite. It's too troublesome. No need." "I'm worried if I don't send you home." Ya also snatched the bag from her and walked towards the taxi stand.

"Let's find a place to eat first, there's nothing to eat at home." "I will find a way to solve it." "Think of ways to?" Ya didn't answer either, and stepped forward. Lai Jiang's home is in Shinagawa, a western-style single-family building built on the side of a narrow slope. Yaya had been nearby when she followed her before.From the outside, the house is too big for a woman to live alone. "This house is so beautiful." After getting out of the taxi, Ya also looked up at the house and said.As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help shivering.This sentence would make Lai Jiang realize that he already knew which house it was, and worried that she would become suspicious, but she didn't seem to have any doubts.

"It was completely built according to the designer's suggestion. It is not very convenient to live in." Lai Jiang took out the key from the handbag with a wry smile. Ya also took her luggage and followed behind her.Thoughts of hesitation, hesitation, and self-blame swirled in his mind.Lai Jiang inserted the key into the lock.A decision must be made, he told himself. After opening the door, he stood behind Lai Jiang.The room was pitch black, and the light from the street lamp shone on her back. "It seems that someone has come to deliver the goods." Lai Jiang picked up the receipt that was originally clipped on the door. Ya also took the bag and pushed her into the house.The door slammed shut behind him. "Oh, it's so dark." Lai Jiang fumbled for the switch on the wall. Ya also put down her bag, and immediately stretched out her arms to completely embrace Lai Jiang's slender body. She seemed to make some noise, maybe she was talking about something, but Ya didn't care to listen.He hugged her body tightly, and then covered her lips with his mouth. This should be an unexpected move, but Lai Jiang did not resist at all.Ya also smelled the perfume and swore to herself: no matter what happens, she will protect Meifu, even if the night spent with her is just a phantom.
