874 Avoid getting hurt
But he couldn’t, he had to keep this secret and protect Xiaolan from harm.
So, he could only suppress his inner struggle and lie again: “Sister Xiaolan, Brother Shinichi said he had something important to deal with and he would come back after he finished it.
He told me to tell you not to worry about him, he would take good care of himself.”
Xiaolan listened to Conan’s words. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she chose to believe it when she saw Conan’s serious expression.
She nodded gently and tried to squeeze out a smile: “I know, Conan.
Thank you for telling me this.
I will wait for him to come back.”
However, when Xiaolan turned and left, the smile disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Her back looked particularly lonely and desolate under the dim light, and every step she took was so heavy980.
She knew that she had to be strong, because when Kudo Shinichi was not around, she was.
At the same time, Maori Kogoro sat on the sofa at home, holding a glass of beer in his hand, but his eyes looked through the window and into the distance.
His heart was also filled with complex emotions.
As Xiaolan’s father, he could naturally feel his daughter’s deep affection for Kudo Shinichi.
Although he had never liked this young detective who always disrupted his life rhythm, his heart was also tightened when he saw his daughter so sad and haggard for him.
He sighed and thought to himself: “What the hell are you doing, you stinky boy? Let me make my daughter so sad, let me see how I will deal with you in the future!”
However, he also knew that he was not qualified to blame Kudo Shinichi.
After all, when his daughter needed him the most, it was him as a father who failed to be with her.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt and self-blame.
The night was getting deeper and deeper.
Lan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Kudo Shinichi’s figure kept appearing in her mind, his smile, his eyes, everything about him… She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were in the future, she would persevere, because she was Mao Lilan, and she was the strongest backing of Kudo Shinichi.
And what about Conan? He stood in front of the window, looking at the brightest stars in the night sky, and silently prayed for Kudo Shinichi in his heart.
He knew that the battle was not over yet, and they still had a long way to go.
But he also believed that as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
As the afternoon sun gradually faded its edge and dyed the horizon into a gentle orange, Mao Lilan’s mood was like the unpredictable sky, turning from deep blue to a faint melancholy.
She sat on a bench outside the villa, her eyes passing through the carefully trimmed bushes, as if trying to find the figure she missed.
Just like thisIn the quiet moment of noon, the conversation with the boy from Osaka at noon was like the fallen leaves gently blown by the breeze, which caused ripples in her heart.
Is it strange? “Heiji’s words echoed in her mind with a bit of playfulness.
Every detail was like a fine needle, accurately hitting the blind spot she had not noticed.
Yes, I have always doubted that Kudo Shinichi’s questions were so direct, and even ignored the care he should have. (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Now that I think about it, he told her in a special way: Even if he is not around, he is always with her
Xiaolan closed her eyes gently, letting her heart suddenly understand the dialogue.
She seemed to be in a corner of the world, and Shinichi was silently protecting her without her noticing.
A ray of warm sunshine in this belief, a slightly cold heart.
“Shinichi, are you right? “She asked herself softly, with both confirmation and expectation.
Standing up, Xiaolan decided between the memories of the past and the sadness of the present.
She knew that no matter where she was, she needed to face life with strength.
So, she turned and walked into the villa, leaving behind a series of firm and gentle footsteps.
Before leaving, she looked back at the sleeping figure again – Conan was surging.
She knew that the peace and tranquility at this moment were what they had woven together.
“Hey, kid, are you really okay?” Hattori Heiji appeared and broke the villa.
He stood in front of Conan in a posture, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through.
Conan just smiled faintly at the questioning, with both helplessness and relief.
He understood that the doubts and dissatisfaction of the question were the desire for the truth and the friendship.
“Maybe she thinks that I lied to her for Shinichi? “In Conan’s heart…[]
