The male protagonist travels to the world of Conan

The night after tomorrow

It was already late at night, but the consciousness was shockingly clear. Unable to sleep, unable to rest, I got up alone and walked to the kitchen to drink water.

Walking barefoot, every step touches the cold floor slightly.

"Boring, boring." Learn to be like that big fool, speak like you, blurring the words between words, and adding a bit of arrogance. But it still doesn't look like it. I smiled to comfort myself, that means I don't have an annoying personality like you.

So I leaned against the window, holding a glass of cold water, looking at the empty and meditative street in a daze. In fact, I didn't have anything to think about, but I still felt sad.

Time is really annoying, stealing everything but not allowing us to make up for it. I remember that the professor who taught me in college once said: "Science and time are the most just, because they are only willing to punish you."

Now I seem to understand what he said! I close my eyes. At night in the city, you don't have to listen too hard to listen but you can still feel the noise.

The door lock was gently turned open, the heavy object shattered across the ground, and the iron door squeaked when it was pushed open. The sudden noise did not break the silence of the night, but instead blended deeper into it.

Everything returned to relative quietness.

I didn’t realize anything at first, but in an instant my heart was seized by huge fear. I could barely hold the water glass, so I had to put it on the ground tremblingly, opened the door and rushed out.

The house next door was still quiet, with nothing out of the ordinary. I turned around and looked through my mailbox, and sure enough there was a letter lying inside. Kudo's bad calligraphy wrote on it: Haibara and Doctor Kai.

Tear it open and tear the envelope to pieces with your hands.

"I'm going out for a while..." This was the only sentence I read.

Pass left, then turn right.

Running out of the residential area, I saw you getting into a taxi from a distance.

My health is not that good. I ran all the way with cold air in my mouth and lungs. How can I still have the strength to open my mouth and call you?

Kudo never knows how to show mercy to others. He will only say that I am a creepy and why you are so unlovable all day long.

But late at night in winter, I had to wait alone on the road for an empty taxi to pick me up and then ask me to save the rotten man who said bad things about me all day long.

I must be crazy.

My professor in college also said that the smarter the person, the more persistent he is in doing stupid things.

The most truth.

As expected of a professor.

The waiting time was so long that I felt that when Kudo arrived at the airport, a car finally arrived.

I said thank you to the driver for the airport. After thinking for a moment, I added that my man was leaving, and I wanted to tell him that I was pregnant and give him one last try.

The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror and said no problem, ma'am.

When I arrived at the airport, I saw Kudo clumsily getting his luggage from the car in front of me. I said wait a moment sir and quickly opened the door.

If the organization were still there, they would definitely consider recruiting that driver as a talent. I was anxious when I first took the bus, but later I was worried that I would not even meet Kudo. This person drove as if he were flying an airplane, but his driving skills were so unsettling that I got carsick for the first time since I was a child.

Staggered to Kudo’s side and said hey. He looked at me with wide eyes and stammered, unable to say a word.

"Please, go and pay for the bus first." I found out in the car that I ran out in my pajamas, with nothing but a thin shirt. I was so embarrassed that I almost died. No wonder the driver looked at me like that when I first got into the taxi. Loss of face.

Kudo stopped in the taxi for a long time with his body bent, and then walked towards me with an angry look on his face: "What did you say to that person? Why did he still pay after I paid?" Did I say something weird?"

I shrugged: "I'm too charming, that person has a discerning eye."

Kudo suddenly smiled slightly and narrowed it deliberately. He looked me up and down: "Haihara, your clothes are very cute. Have you changed your style?"

My face suddenly turned red uncontrollably. The doctor bought me cherry pajamas and a princess dress. pendulum style.

At first I thought it was too naive to accept it, but the doctor's verbose words were really annoying, so I had no choice but to accept it.

I saw Kudo looking at my chest with a smile, and hit him hard with the bag he was carrying: "Pervert!"

He suppressed his smile, took off his coat and gave it to me : "It's too cold outside, let's go in first!"

I was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot that he was leaving. I put on my clothes silently and followed him in.

"Wait for me here." After finding an open space to sit down, he smiled at me and then ran away.

I'm not afraid of him running away. All his luggage, including his handbag, is still with me. Besides, I could clearly see the boarding gate from where I was sitting.

It’s just that I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring my mobile phone.

Perhaps the doctor should be informed, but the Maori must be informed.

That girl must not know that he is leaving. I dare say.

It was only at that time that I suddenly realized that Kudo might be gone. My mind became empty and I only knew that I had to catch up with him quickly. Notifying others just feels like a waste of time. There was absolutely no way to control myself, and in my mind I was only willing to trust my weak intuition in a panic. Very weak, like a child.

We must not lose him. Is that what you think?

Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to believe others, I just feel that once I tell a third person besides myself the news of his departure, his departure will truly become a fact, and I can no longer hold back. Not coming back.

Even when I was sitting in the taxi, I refused to believe that he was really leaving.

"What are you thinking about?" A cup of steaming hot drink appeared in front of him. Looking up, his face is right in front of me, and he feels very, very good when he smiles.

"Why are you leaving?" He took the cup and took a sip with a frown. It was too cold. "Is this milk!?"

"Drinking coffee at night is not good, especially for people with insomnia." He was only willing to answer my last question, and looked at my pajamas with a smile: "Big I’m still awake at night! But the clothes match you very well!” The detective’s annoying nature, I appeared next to him like this, I can guess the cause and effect after a little thought.

My head started to hurt and I wrapped my clothes tightly around him. There is a hint of his scent in the fabric, very soft. "Desert! Maori didn't know you were leaving!"

His eyes dimmed obviously. Sure enough, it touched upon his sore spot. I avoided looking, and my heart sank quietly.

"Did you also leave her a letter and ask her to wait for you? Wouldn't that hurt her enough?" I laughed at him calmly, feeling dull in my heart, not sure if it was pain or something else.

"A lot has happened, and I should take some time to calm down." He sat down next to me and turned his face to look at me calmly.

I stood up in a hurry and stayed away from him.

"Is it because of the incident with Detective Maori?" I closed my eyes slightly, only to feel an unhealed scar quietly cracking open. I raised my head: "It's not your problem."

"I didn't talk about that matter. It was a problem between Lan and I." Kudo responded calmly.

Lie!

"You should stay with her after what happened! You love her, and you are with her not because of guilt or compensation. Don't let this incident become the reason for destroying you. You want to be with her." Maoli explained clearly. She is not a self-righteous girl. "Including me, most of all."

"I said no." He smiled again.

"Stop laughing. You are a big fool like this." I drank the milk in irritation, feeling like a nosy fool. He moves me every time he smiles.

"I'm going to the United States." He stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.

Feeling very sad.

"America? How long do you want to calm down there? One month, one year or ten years?" This kind of conversation is not in the mood at all, but it has to be carried out.

"I didn't ask Lan to wait for me this time. We are all prepared." He answered the question again, and slowly walked up to me.

"It's so sad." I commented coldly, feeling heartbroken and refusing to look up at him. Heartache for whom? For him, for that girl, for the hypocritical self?

"If you do this, it will make me feel like a sinner." I said honestly. God will punish me for destroying this perfect match.

I have already sinned a lot, and with this in mind, Satan will probably hide his face and sigh when he sees me, and refuses to accept me into hell.

"I told you it has nothing to do with you." Kudo started to help me tighten my clothes. "You can put on your coat. There is enough money in your pocket to call a taxi home. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself. , keep an eye on the doctor, and help me take care of Xia Lan."

"I won't go!" I raised my head suddenly and stared at him with a sneer, "I'm worried that she will stay and take care of such a troublesome thing by myself. Woman!"

"I have never seen a woman more troublesome than you." He sighed and smiled again.

There is no way to continue looking at his black eyes, so deep. I denounced my own incompetence in my heart. It was not me who should save him, nor myself who should be the passer-by. It has been shown many times in TV dramas that the male protagonist only stops for the female lead. The supporting female characters and extras should not appear. Their function is to support the orphan.

You are so stupid.

Too stupid.

It shouldn’t be like this.

The genius girl Miyano Shiho did countless stupid things tonight. Too bad no one saw it anymore. It's really shameless.

I slapped his stinky hand away: "I'll see you off soon!"

Failed to retain him.

Turn around and stride forward.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

"Kudo. I said, if, I mean if. If, if you want to leave next time and want to go to a strange place alone, can you take me with you." I didn't Look back, don't want to, don't dare to look back.

The last plea.

In three seconds, a warm hug replaced the answer.

He hugged me from behind.

With this external strength that I got from you, I said: "I'm sorry." This is actually what I have always wanted to say to you, and the mood I have always had. When I was Ai Haibara, every time I saw Edogawa Conan smile, my heart would hurt. I just never apologized to him.

My eyes were so sore that I was almost afraid of tears falling, so I had to blink suddenly. It's a good thing my back was turned to him, otherwise he would have laughed.

"Haihara, you are such a weirdo. Normal people would say please stay and don't leave. Why are you the only one who wants to go with me?" Kudo smiled deeply behind me.

"Ah, the last attempt to retain me failed. I'm going home to take a beauty sleep. You'd better adjust and come back as soon as possible. I have always been very impatient and I won't be able to hold on to my nanny job for long." I broke away from him. , said in the most relaxed tone, "If you hold me in your arms again, I will sue you for sexual harassment. You are a big pervert with an unchangeable nature." I stepped on his foot hard, and while he screamed, I gritted my teeth with the last strength and ran away.

But Kudo, you still didn’t answer my question. Do you know how much courage I mustered up to ask you?

I have always been a very delicate person. In the past, including now, my life has never tasted difficulties. The organization was willing to give me a good life, and the doctor never said anything when I spent money on him. Why do you think I dare to go with you in a set of pajamas? You are stingy and have no money. I asked you to buy me a handbag and it hurt your body for so long. From this, I can infer that I will not live a good life if I go with you, but I still want to be with you. Do you understand why?

Do I dare you to understand? As I sat in the car going home, I felt extremely regretful. It would be great if Maori was called, she would be coquettish, she would be angry, if you can't afford to buy another ticket, you two go on your honeymoon in advance, and when you come back, you two will definitely reconcile and be as sweet as before.

It’s a pity that it was this irrelevant me who arrived at the airport and let you go, leaving you alone.

I was the one who made mistakes from beginning to end, and I still don’t know how to repent.

I am so stupid.

When I opened the door to my house again, I saw the water glass I had placed on the ground before I left. The pale lights hit the water, and it was already the sad second half of the night. It seemed like nothing had changed, except for the clothes Kudo put on me.

I no longer suffered from insomnia. I threw myself on the bed and fell directly into a dream without even having time to feel sad.

I was woken up by unfamiliar music, and when I opened my eyes, I saw sunshine. I tried to raise my eyelids, and the first clear realization that came to my mind was that Kudo was gone.

Gone...

But the sudden noise was too loud, leaving me no time to think more. I searched for the source of the sound, and was surprised to find that the sound seemed to come from a piece of clothing.

The clothes Kudo gave me.

I raised my eyebrows and took out my cell phone from my clothes that was still screaming.

Lan.

This is what is displayed on the screen.

I hurriedly found the voice changer and cursed Kudo fiercely in my heart. How could such a meticulous person make such a mistake? What a mess was thrown at me!

"Hello."

The person on the other side fell silent for a moment, "It's me."

"Oh, Mao...Lan."

"Shinichi, I..."

I had to interrupt. I took a deep breath and changed my left hand to answer the phone: "Lan, there is a case waiting for me to see in the United States, so I..."< /p>

"So, do you have to go out for a while?" The girl forced a smile, her voice so gentle and trembling.

"Well, I have to go abroad for a while."

"I hate you." A soft sob came.

"I'm sorry, whether you wait for me or not, I will definitely come back to see you." I finished speaking in one breath, hung up quickly, and then quickly unplugged the battery.

The pretentious and disgusting farewell came out of my mouth. Not so convincing.

Because we love each other so much, that’s why we are so tortuous! So Kudo wants to recognize himself again! This pure love cannot be mixed with any impurities. And I am the destroyer. As compensation, I promised Kudo to watch over Maori for him until he comes back.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, the doctor was happily watching TV, as if he had discovered a new world. He yelled at me: "Hey, Xiao Ai, you are just too lazy to sleep. It's amazing to sleep!" It’s already half past ten!”

I ignored him and walked straight to the refrigerator, closing my eyes: “Kudo is leaving, going to the United States. The farewell letter is on the table.”

"What?" The old man jumped up. Without looking back, you could imagine him looking at my back in surprise and then running to the table to read the letter. "When did he escape?" the doctor asked me. I guessed his mouth was wide enough to swallow a whole chicken.

So I opened my eyes, took out the milk from the refrigerator, and walked to the doctor: "It should be about one o'clock this morning." I frowned and drank the milky white liquid. It was so cold.

"Ai, did you rush to keep him?" The doctor looked at me expectantly.

"Obviously it didn't work. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to wake you up. I'm sorry." I lowered my eyes and suddenly felt a great sense of panic.

"Ai can't keep her, and it may not be useful for others to go." The old man was so kind-hearted, and began to comfort me again: "Have you told Lan?"

I nodded. : "I told you."

The doctor started talking nonsense again, but I didn't listen.

I know where my panic comes from: Maori, Doctor, they all know that Kudo is gone. I looked at the pale sun, and there was a roar in my head. He is gone. This is something everyone knows. This is already a fact. He left.

Desert!

This is the last sentence I cursed bitterly.

It’s so embarrassing that he actually fainted. I've never done anything like this. Shame shame.

"You should go out more often." The doctor suggested, "The doctor said you are too weak."

"Where are you going? Doctor, have you successfully applied for a patent?" If you have some spare time, can you help me buy something? Let's go to the mall!" I looked up at the fashion magazine in my hand, looking forward to it.

"Ah, this, this, I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished my lab report yet, so I need to go upstairs first." The doctor coughed and ran away.

I sneered, these days I have nothing to do at home but handle the complicated things for the doctor. The lab reports and material analysis tests have already been done well for him. This old man can't even tell a lie.

"Hey, Xiao Ai." The doctor called me forcefully again, "Lan is coming to see me today. Can I eat more tonight? You know, I don't want to disturb her face."

Gross profits are coming? I was stunned for a moment. I haven't seen her since that incident. In other words, I have been hiding and refusing to let her see me.

"Xiao Ai? Did you hear me?" After closing the door behind the doctor's words, I left the house for the first time in several weeks.

I kept walking along the road, aimlessly. I just want to clear my head.

But winter is really cold, isn't it?

Actually, I don’t want to see her. The girl who is like my sister.

I once wanted not to let reality hurt her, and even helped Kudo deceive her - okay, I admit that I had selfish motives, but I never wanted to hurt her.

Maybe you will say that you have never been used to her and being so cold to her. But I just don't want to be near her. How could you understand? I also wanted to be this kind of person. Such a kind and gentle person. But you also know that if I successfully become that kind of person, you will never be able to see me. I can't survive this. So I don't want to be too close to her, I don't want to go, I'm jealous of her. She who has everything, she who has you.

But I still hurt this girl. The two most important men in her life left her one after another, one permanently and the other temporarily.

Because of me.

I'm sorry again. I can't cry.

"Sorry, I'm late." It was already dark when I came back. I opened the door and saw Maoli and the doctor sitting at the dining table in silence in front of a table of dishes.

When they saw me appearing, they looked surprised and flattered.

I walked over and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Xiao Ai, what are you doing?" Maoli smiled flatteringly at me, turned around and ran to get the chopsticks for me. The doctor asked me in a low voice, with surprise in his eyes, "I thought you weren't coming back."

"I went to buy a drink." I raised the plastic bag I was holding. It was so hard that it left a deep red mark on my hand. "Doctor, you didn't tell me earlier that we had a guest at home."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The doctor touched his bald head and smiled sheepishly.

I rolled my eyes at him again: "Don't call me Ai in front of Maoli, just tell her that I am..."

"Here. Xiao Ai, oh, Would it be better to call you Shiho?" Maori handed me the chopsticks and smiled at me. You could tell she was nervous.

I was stunned for a moment. I had agreed with Kudo not to tell Maori about the shrinkage. It seems that he has broken the contract. The pig head is sad about the beauty. I sneered and thought: Now I am no longer a partner who keeps a secret from each other. It's a pity that I wanted to keep it secret just now. I'm really being sentimental and bothering myself.

"It doesn't matter, just call me." I smiled at her and said falsely, "It's so rich."

"Yeah, I don't know what Ai likes to eat." The girl smiled apologetically, "It's better to call me Ai."

"Then I'll start." It's a bit sad, since she knows everything, she doesn't have to do this to me. She should hate me, maybe slap me twice and cry to me again. But why is she still so gentle to me? Although Kudo is an idiot, he has always been good at reading people. He really didn't pick the wrong person for this cute girl.

The dinner went quite happily, the doctor's cold jokes came on time like news, and Mao Li (actually) also talked about some super cold topics with great interest.

"So boring." The corners of my mouth twitched and I looked at them helplessly. During this period, the doctor secretly took several bites of Mori's steak. I don't care, it's just this once.

After dinner, I sent the doctor to wash the dishes and used it as an after-dinner exercise.

Only Maori and I were left, and the atmosphere was a bit weirdly tense.

"Shinichi, he went to the United States." Maori spoke first, but his head hung low.

I have to say.

"Did he tell you?" she asked next.

I hummed again listlessly.

"Shinichi attaches great importance to mourning you."

I couldn't be an ostrich anymore, I forced a smile: "I don't know what that guy is thinking in his mind. But Kudo-kun likes Mori , I knew this a long time ago. He often mentioned you to me." "But he still left." Maoli just smiled.

"This is to stay with you longer. He doesn't want the two of you to suffer together." So he chose to walk away alone.

"Ai trusts Shinichi more than me. I will only cause trouble."

I don't want to discern the deeper meaning of these words.

"Because my feelings for him are simpler than yours for him. I just believe in him from the perspective of a partner, and Mao Li should like him very much. The more I believe, the more I have to doubt. In fact, it is It shows that you care too much." I tried to analyze the empty and boring lines.

Maoli was silent again, I guess my words might be able to comfort her.

Sure enough, she looked up at me, very confused: "I don't know if I am like this. This is different from before. I feel like Shinichi and I have already left each other."

< p>My heart trembled suddenly. What's the meaning? Is that serious? "No, you've done a good enough job. Trust him again." I looked at the girl, she had really lost a lot of weight, "You don't look good."

"Sorry. Yes." She retorted.

I laughed so hard that I didn’t know what to do.

When I sent her out, I hesitated again and again but still said to her: "Welcome to come and play."

Both the doctor and Mao Li looked at me in surprise.

"Okay." Maoli smiled. This was the most sincere smile she had seen all night.

What a fool, this girl. She shouldn't have smiled like that at the murderer.

"Xiao Ai, do you like Lan?" the doctor asked me cautiously.

I glanced at him, and he quickly explained: "Well, I was just asking."

"When did I hate her?" I yawned.

"Oh." The doctor was skeptical.

"Do you think I am a murderer? Kudo's departure is actually related to..."

"It has nothing to do with you, Xiao Ai. Don't push everything on you, what are you doing? Didn't do anything." The doctor spread his hands and said, "Don't punish yourself."

"Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't see the sun rising every day, and I should just stay in the dark. Like the dead. At least this is atonement. "The morning light is so beautiful, why can't they see it again?"

"Do you think that the death of your sister, Detective Maori, will only lead to you living like this?" The doctor was so angry that he was trembling all over.

"I have chosen to live, Doctor. You should no longer have so many demands on me." I frowned.

"Haihara Ai!"

"Okay, I won't say this again. Look, don't I live a good life? I already plan to be happy. I want to live my life and forget everything. By the way, I still want to go to college and enjoy the life of my peers.”

“Really?” The doctor obviously didn’t believe my sudden change.

"It's just a lie." I walked into the bathroom and couldn't help but smile when I thought of the doctor's twisted face outside the door.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I thought of Maori. She really has a magical power, the kind that brings you back to reality.

Since that incident, I have always felt like I was living in a dream. Watching Feili cry in despair, watching Mao Lilan go on a hunger strike for so long without eating or drinking, watching the newspaper only use a small page to commemorate the former famous detective Maori Kogoro, watching Kudo wearing an all-black suit I attended the funeral with a solemn expression, then Kudo became estranged from Maori, and Kudo left sadly... Everything was like a dream, I was dreaming without feeling. I feel no power except cold sadness.

I still remember that there was a time when reality was a dream. My sister had just died at that time, and my protest was just a subconscious act. I was taken away by Gin, escaped from the organization, met a doctor, transferred to another school, and met Kudo... Yes, until I met Kudo, until I jumped on him without any hope. When I was crying, I was pulled back by him and returned to the reality of laughter and tears.

Kudo saved me at that time, and a long time later. His girlfriend, Mao Lilan, saved me again. Kudo has escaped. He once told me not to run away, but he ended up running away. I don't blame him...what? That's ridiculous, how could I not blame him? Duplicitous guy!

Maori has been coming regularly since then.

Until one day, the doctor discussed with me whether we could let Maori move in.

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment. I didn't want to be the legendary live-in close friend with her.

"After that incident, Lan has been unhappy, as you know. I want her to move in and change places, maybe she will feel better." The doctor racked his brains to explain.

"Why don't you consider going to other places?" I said bluntly.

"Huh? Well, aren't you worried about going to a foreign country? There is no place to live and it costs money, so it's not safe." The doctor started to sweat.

I sneered. The doctor seemed to have forgotten that Maori had a friend named Sonoko. Their wealthy family is building mansions all over the place, so it's not like they can't find a place for Maori to live.

But, just, if Maori goes to other places, her nature will be the same as Kudo, right? deserter!

I promised Kudo to take care of Lan. I can't let Lan escape again.

"Okay. When will we move in." I answered with great reluctance.

"That's more," the doctor was not too happy, but looked at me more sincerely, which really made me ominous.

"What's wrong?" I was panicking, thinking that the female lawyer would also move in. This is not a hotel. Is there any mistake?

"Lan might have to share a room with you."

I couldn't tell which was more shocking, this news or what I was thinking.

"Why? Explain." I smirked at the doctor.

The answer I got made me laugh.
