What a prosperous family, Baichuan exclaimed.

Xinyi sat opposite.

Sakura and Maki lowered their heads, not daring to look Shinichi in the eye.

Uncle Xinyi was very nice to them when he was sober, but he was very scary when he was drunk.

Moreover, after they moved into the Shirakawa family, Uncle Shinichi came to the house to cause trouble again and again.

They didn't know how to treat Xinyi, so they just lowered their heads and ignored him.

Baichuan sat in the seat closest to the door, looking down at his phone.

Grandma and Kana were chatting nearby.

"Hey, Kana, are you feeling comfortable living with the Shin family recently?"

"No, we moved out."

"Why did you move out suddenly?" asked the grandmother curiously.

"Our family has a lot of expenses, and we feel embarrassed to trouble Xinyi again, so we moved to the Shirakawa family."

"Moving to the Shirakawa family, is this the Shirakawa you brought with you?"

"Yes."

"Kana, I have to say something to you. Although Shirakawa and Maki are boyfriend and girlfriend, it is very inconvenient for your family to live in Shirakawa's house. Shirakawa's parents will have some opinions..."

"Baichuan, Baichuan's parents are not at home."

"Eh? Don't they know?"

......

Baichuan stopped listening halfway through, as it was mostly just gossip among women, with nothing nutritious in it.

Just like that, everyone stayed together awkwardly for a moment, and finally, the third oldest, Sosuke, went home.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back. Hello, sister-in-law, hello, second brother."

Sosuke has long hair, is quite tall, wears glasses, and has a fair and clean complexion, like a college student.

"Sorry, Mom, the taxi was stuck in traffic on the way here, so it took some time." Sosuke bowed and apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, we just arrived too."

"Well, this is..."

"Maki's boyfriend, Shirakawa Akira."

"Maki has a boyfriend?" Sosuke asked in surprise, "Maki, don't you dislike boys? Why are you suddenly looking for a boyfriend?"

"It was before. We met by chance. After getting to know each other, I felt that he was a nice guy, and then we started dating."

"Hmm..." Sosuke looked at Shirakawa, thoughtfully.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's go visit Shota."

Grandma suggested, clapping her hands.

294. Pay homage to Shota

Shinichi drove in front with Midu's family, while Kana followed behind with Shirakawa and their two daughters.

The group drove to the cemetery, which was very deserted.

The tombstones are lined up in an orderly manner, and each of them is engraved with the surname Midu, as if it is a family cemetery.

Shirakawa follows Mido's family to Shota's tombstone.

The marble tombstone is very new and stands out among these old tombstones.

Shinichi cleaned up a bit, then placed flowers and offerings next to Shota's tombstone, bowed, and then took out an incense burner and placed it in front of the tombstone.

"Let's start burning incense."

According to the customs of the Midu family, everyone has to burn incense, and they have to follow the order of seniority, with men first and women last.

The first person to burn incense was the head of Midu’s family, Midu’s grandfather.

Grandfather Midu, who had been intimidating just now, now nodded his head, his eyes moist, his hands trembling slightly, and he pinched a stick of incense and lit it with a lighter.

Insert it in the incense burner.

His eyes were a little red, probably because he was missing his eldest son who died young.

Next came Midu’s grandmother, who had already started crying with her face covered, unable to stop.

She lit the incense and put it in the incense burner.

"Shota~~ my eldest son, oooo." The grandmother muttered as she fucked.

Then it was Kana's turn.

As the eldest sister-in-law, and also as a widow.

Although they were engaged and not actually husband and wife, they were husband and wife in name only.

She knelt in front of the tombstone and burned incense respectfully.

He put his hands together and bowed.

He stood up, but looked towards Baichuan.

His expression was complicated and mixed with various emotions.

In name, she is the eldest sister-in-law of the Midu family, but she and this man just made love yesterday...

I always feel a bit ashamed.

After that came Shinichi and Sosuke.

It’s the same process.

Since Shirakawa and Maki are not married, strictly speaking, he can only be considered an outsider.

So Shirakawa took the photo behind Maki and Sakura.

"Come on, Maki, don't burn your hands." Sosuke took out a stick of incense, lit it, and put it in Maki's hand.

Maki bowed respectfully to her father and placed the incense in the incense burner.

It was Sakura's turn too, and Sosuke lit the incense and placed it in her hand.

Is it an illusion?

Why does it feel like Sosuke is so attentive and caring towards his two nieces?

Is it because they are all students?

Baichuan was a little strange.

"It's your turn, Shirakawa." Shinichi said coldly.

"Oh, good."

Shirakawa looked at the portrait of his "father-in-law" whom he had never met, and thought of what happened between him and Kana in the locker room last night, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He took a deep breath, tried to put on a sad expression, took out a stick of incense and lit it for Shota.

When he put the lit incense into the incense burner.

An accident happened.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the burning incense stick suddenly broke in half. The broken half fell into the incense burner and went out.

broken?

The breaking of incense is a bad sign and also a blasphemy to the deceased.

Baichuan was dumbfounded, is this thing of such poor quality?

The Midu family was nearby and saw it all.

The tradition-conscious Midu grandfather's eyes were wide open, and he was obviously angry.

Others didn't say much and just thought it was an accident.

Baichuan felt a little embarrassed and quickly lit another one and put it in the incense burner.

but.

The incense is gone again...

F*ck, don't mess with me.

Why?

The first time was an accident, but the second time is hard to explain.

They were fine just now! It's not possible that I have picked all the poor quality incense sticks in this bundle.

Could it be that it was the dead Shota...

"That's enough," Midu's grandfather shouted angrily, "Where did this bastard come from? Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

"It seems that my elder brother doesn't like you very much." Xinyi gloated and fanned the flames.

"No, no, no," Sosuke pushed up his glasses, "I think it's my elder brother. He doesn't approve of Shirakawa. He doesn't approve of someone like him being Maki's boyfriend."

There was a sting in Sosuke's words.

"Is it that Uncle Shinichi's incense is of poor quality?" Maki hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Shirakawa.

"No way, I bought the best..."

Kana was silent and very nervous. Doing that kind of thing behind the girl's back, she and Shirakawa should be considered "adulterers", so it was normal for her to make "Shota" unhappy.

"Alright, alright, let's just keep quiet on this kind of occasion," Midu's grandmother advised, "Who would joke about something like a memorial service? It's all just a coincidence. Shirakawa, why don't you try another one?"

After hearing the grandmother's advice, the others stopped talking.

Baichuan took a deep breath, cautiously pulled out the third cigarette, and lit it with a lighter.

Can't light...

This time, it won’t light up at all.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Shota, I shouldn't have messed around with Maki and Lady Sakura. I shouldn't have had multiple relationships at the same time. Please be kind and forgive me!" Shirakawa confessed in a low voice that only he could hear.

During this time, I stole a glance at my grandfather. He was already furious, with his fists clenched. If I did anything weird again, he would probably beat me up.

"There's more~~~"

Hmm? This sound~~

Baichuan was stunned for a moment.

The voice was deep and not very human...

The others didn't seem to hear.

Is it really Shota's ghost who came to find me?

"Also, I shouldn't have touched Auntie Midu. I shouldn't have asked Auntie Midu to help me with Xingyu. I shouldn't have had so much intimate contact with her. I am guilty of a heinous crime and deserve to die. I am a scumbag and don't deserve to live in this world."

With Baichuan's sincere repentance, the incense was finally lit successfully.

He lit the incense respectfully and bowed again and again.

"Uncle Shota, I know I was wrong, please don't hold a grudge against me."

"Midnight...come..."

There was that deep voice again.

Midnight? What do you mean? You want me to meet him at midnight?

"Ah? Uncle, can you please not come at midnight? I'm afraid of the dark. Can we come earlier?"

The fact that Shota's ghost appeared was terrifying and bizarre in itself.

Coming to the cemetery again in the middle of the night... Baichuan really felt guilty and didn't dare to go.

I saw the incense in the incense burner trembling slightly, as if it would be broken in half in the next moment.
