lost to yellow ball

Because it was Sonoko Suzuki's birthday party, and she had been informed in advance that it was semi-private, Ji Li chose only a plain white dress without any decorations on her ears, but she wore a necklace from Yukimura around her neck .

It wasn't a very expensive gift, but it was the first accessory he gave, and Ji Li cherished it all the time.

When carrying it, it feels like Yukimura Seichi is by his side.

When Ji Li went downstairs, Conan also put on the small suit that Kudo Shin had worn when he was a child. If he didn't have those glasses, it would be just like Shinichi standing there.

"Sister Ji Li." He raised his head and called obediently.

"Well," Ji Li glanced at the time and said, "Let's go, get in the car and pick up Mao Li."

She called Mao Lilan in advance last night and made an appointment to go together today.

After getting in the car, the driver sitting in the driver's seat smiled and said, "Miss Ji Li, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Uncle Nishida," Kili Kushima was still very familiar with the driver who picked her up all the year round. She smiled and said, "After all, I don't go to school in Tokyo anymore. This is the first time I've seen you this year."

Driver Nishida nodded, "Madam asked me to explain to you, remember to say hello to Mr. Suzuki for her and Mr."

He also gave a kind smile to Conan who followed behind.

Hearing him mention his mother, Kili Kushima nodded, "Understood, is father still in Germany?"

"This... I don't know, it's just that I haven't returned to Japan yet." Driver Nishida said with some embarrassment, he really couldn't confirm Mr. Jiudao's whereabouts.

After getting the answer, Kushima Jiri didn't speak again, and sat on the side by the window with a calm expression, watching the scenery fly by outside.

Kudo's house is not far from the Mori Detective Agency, and when it arrived, Conan had just finished playing a game.

"Uncle Maori, long time no see." After getting off the car, Kushima Jiri and Mouri Kogoro, who rarely had his tie neatly tied, greeted Mao Lilan, "Student Mouri, you are so beautiful today." Mao Lilan Wearing a light yellow long dress, her hair curled up looks a bit like her mother Eri, and Ji Li sincerely feels that it is a pity to match Shinichi.

Conan who was following beside him also brightened up.

He has been tired of watching Ji Li since he was a child, and he has already resisted it. Mao Lilan, who rarely dressed up today, made him even more beautiful.

Mao Lilan blushed in embarrassment, "Jiu Dao-san is also very beautiful today, in fact... just call me Lan."

It's not that Ji Li has a bad relationship with Mao Lilan, it's just that we don't spend much time together. Hearing what she said, he said in a good manner: "Na Lan can also call me Ji Li."

"Ji Li!" Mao Lilan called out happily.

"By the way, Shinichi has a gift for me to pass on to you." Kili Kushima held up the bag he was carrying just now and handed it to Mao Lilan, "Do you want to open it and have a look?"

She had noticed that there was no necklace on Lan's neck, and it was just right to send it up now.

Mori Kogoro let out a 'ha', "That brat will still give you a gift?"

"Father!" Mao Lilan yelled at him dissatisfied. She turned her head and said apologetically to Ji Li, "Sorry, Ji Li, that's just how dad is. Can I open this now?"

She was actually a little surprised that Xinyi gave her a gift.

"Of course." Kili Kushima naturally wouldn't have any opinion on Kogoro Mori, not to mention whether he is a cousin or not. After yesterday's phone call, she even wanted to say, 'Well said! '.

Mao Lilan opened the gift, her eyes lit up, and a joyful expression appeared on her face.

"so beautiful!"

Kushima was very satisfied with her own taste being praised.

Yesterday, she couldn't bear to send a text message to ask if the gift was satisfactory, but he only responded with an 'average'!

In vain, she spent a long time choosing her painstaking efforts.

Never send again!

"How about I put it on for you?" Kushima Jiri suggested.

Naturally, Mao Lilan had no objection, her long hair was coiled up, and there was no need to deliberately lift it up, Ji Li easily put it up for her.

"Okay, let's say I brought it for you for Shinichi."

"Ji Li..." Mao Lilan blushed again.

Standing aside and maintaining the same expression as Mori Kogoro, Conan, who was also waiting impatiently, glanced at it, is there any difference between belt and belt?Women are so troublesome.

After a delay of 10 minutes, several people boarded the Jiudao family's car again.

Along the way, Mao Lilan chatted softly with Ji Li, while Conan looked out of the window with his chin resting on his bored face.

When they arrived at Suzuki's house, Sonoko Suzuki came out to pick them up in person.

What Lan gave was a bracelet, and Ji Li was high-heeled shoes. Suzuki Sonoko unwrapped the two gifts in person and expressed his liking, and immediately went back to the room to change them out.

"How is it, does it look good?"

Suzuki Sonoko's makeup today is obviously specially dressed, and the original pink skirt has also been changed to a different color to match the high heels given by Ji Li. The whole person is bright and bright.

"nice."

Mao Lilan was not stingy with her praise, "Especially Yuanzi's necklace, like a noble princess!"

Suzuki Sonoko laughed, and instantly broke the sweet temperament just now. She proudly picked up the necklace with her hand and said, "This is a birthday present from my uncle. Odin's Stone, a very rare pure blue gemstone."

"No matter how good the necklace is, it will be ruined if you match it with it."

Keigo Atobe, who came over at some time, said with a slightly mocking smile on his face.

Suzuki Sonoko exploded instantly when he heard the sound. "Stinky Narcissus, why are you here! Is there someone inviting you? If not, turn around and leave!"

"Sonoko, you can't be so rude to Jingwu." Suzuki Shiro came over, and said to Suzuki Sonoko in a gentle voice.

"Father..." Suzuki Sonoko's momentum weakened.

Not understanding the relationship between Sonoko and Atobe, Mao Lilan, who was a little at a loss, hurriedly said hello, "Uncle Suzuki."

"Uncle Suzuki, my father asked me to say hello to you." In front of the elders, Keigo Atobe also put away his arrogance, and became polite and restrained.

"Uncle Suzuki, my father asked me to say hello to you." Kushima Kili also put away his appearance of watching the play, and completed his task towards Suzuki Shiro.

Suzuki Shiro is an easy-going person. His fair and fat appearance can easily give people the impression of being friendly. At this time, he also smiled and chatted with Keigo Atobe for a few words before looking at Kili Kushima: "It's Jiri, Compared to the last time I saw you, you have become much more ladylike."

It has been several years since they last met.

"How is your father recently?"

"He's still abroad," Jiri Kushima shook his head slightly, "I don't know what's going on with him recently, he should be quite energetic."

Suzuki Shiro's chest rose and fell, and he laughed.

"You are still the same. Your father also has his difficulties. After all, the Jiudao family is based abroad." He didn't want to say too much in front of the junior, so he looked at Jili Jiudao kindly: "When you are free, You can also come to your uncle's house as a guest if you have nothing to do. Your mother seems to have returned to Japan recently, and you should go back to see her when you have time."

Ji Li Jiudao didn't face his elders face to face, so he complied.

Suzuki Shiro didn't chat with them for a long time. After seeing the Maori detective and Conan who were eating, they immediately went over to chat.

Atobe Keigo didn't stay here for a long time either, there was someone he was familiar with waiting in another place.

Seeing people leave, Suzuki Sonoko snorted coldly.

"That person just now...?" Mao Lilan blinked in confusion.

"Lan, you don't need to pay attention to him, he is just a narcissist." Suzuki Sonoko complained, "When I think about how I used to be attracted to him because of his good looks, I feel blind."

Kudao Jili took a sip of the juice, knowing that if she didn't stop now, Sonoko would complain a lot. She glanced and found that there were many plainclothes people in the corner of the banquet: "Sonoko, who are those people...?"

Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly as if she just remembered now: "Yes, I was interrupted by that narcissus just now, I haven't had time to tell you."

"Lord Kidd is coming over tonight!"

Mao Lilan looked at Yuanzi in surprise: "Huh?!"

Jiri Kushima: "My lord?"

She's a bit of a show.

"At noon today, Uncle received a notice letter from Master Kidd, saying that he will come to pick up the 'Odin Stone' tonight, ah, this is the one on my necklace." Sonoko Suzuki caressed the necklace on his neck, excited And happy, "Maybe I will be able to see Lord Kidd at night, and have intimate contact with him!"

"Shouldn't such an important thing be put away for preservation?" Mao Lilan was extremely surprised.

"Well, this..." Sonoko Suzuki pointed to Jirokichi Suzuki, who was chatting with Police Officer Nakamori on the other side, and said, "Uncle said that he would not act like a coward hiding gems, so he rejected Officer Nakamori's suggestion. "

Although she was happy, she was also a little helpless. If such a precious gem was really lost in her hands,...in fact, she didn't have any objections if it was lost to Lord Kidd.

Before Kili Kushima could say anything, Suzuki Jirokichi came over.

"Are you two Sonoko's friends?"

"Uncle Suzuki."

"uncle."

"Uncle Suzuki, long time no see."

"En?" Hearing this greeting, Suzuki Jirokichi took a closer look at Kuri Kushima before hesitantly asked, "Could it be Kili?"

Jiri, who hadn't seen Suzuki Jirokichi for ten years, smiled, and didn't think much about the fact that he didn't recognize him, "It's me, Kujima Jiri."

"Ah...that's such a big change. I still remember when you and Sonoko rode on my neck when I was young."

Suzuki Jirokichi smiled heartily, "Exactly, I want to ask you for help with something."

Police officer Zhong Mori who was following him couldn't help but said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"This is my decision, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes." Suzuki Jirokichi glanced at him confidently, took the box from the tray next to the servant, and when he opened it, it turned out to be exactly the same as the one on Suzuki Sonoko's neck Ding Zhishi': "These two necklaces, I wonder if it is convenient for the two of you to wear them?"

Kudao Jiri and Mo Lilan looked at each other.

"Before I gave the Stone of Odin to Sonoko, I had already thought that Kidd would be interested. So I prepared four identical fakes early on, and these are two of them."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, "Uncle, what about this...?"

Jiro Suzuki laughed and said, "Which one is the real necklace, only I know."

This is obviously not going to tell Yuanzi's posture.

Under Suzuki Jirokichi's gaze, Mori Ran and Kushima Kuri naturally agreed to help, and they respectively took off the necklaces they were wearing around their necks and replaced them with 'Odin's Stone'.

"Does this really work?"

Mao Lilan looked at the thin chain lying quietly in the palm of her hand, with a gentle expression and a little regret.

Noticing this, Kushima Jiri whispered in her ear: "You can wrap it around your hand and make a bracelet alone, so that you can count as Shinichi by your side."

"Hey." Mao Lilan blushed a lot today.

Suzuki Sonoko, who had listened to it, also agreed: "It's rare for that idiot detective to give you such a beautiful gift. It's a pity to take it off. Let me wrap it up for you, Lan."

She was fast with her mouth and hands, and took away the necklace from Lan's hand. After wrapping it around twice, it turned into a delicate bracelet and stayed on Mao Lilan's wrist.

"Garden!"

Seeing the two of them laughing and laughing, Kuri Kushima was watching with a smile on the sidelines. She had no place to put the necklace that Yukimura gave her, so she also wrapped it around her hand like Ran did, which was quite beautiful.

Halfway through the banquet, when it was transferred to the outfield, all the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly went out.

Officer Nakamori immediately commanded: "Everyone stay still!"

There were not many people at the scene, only the screams of a few women came out. In addition, Officer Nakamori and Suzuki Jirokichi were fully prepared, and the lights were turned on again soon.

"Everyone stay where you are and don't move, now we need to check each of you to prevent Kidd from getting in!"

Fortunately, it was a private banquet, everyone had a good relationship with the host of the banquet, and they were more or less trying to save face.Otherwise, Officer Nakamori's speech would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others. At this time, Keigo Atobe was also in the crowd, and his men subconsciously stroked the tear mole on his face, "What an unglamorous thief."

He glanced at the crowd, and his excellent dynamic vision quickly caught the traces of Suzuki Sonoko and his party.

But after taking a look, he frowned and walked away from the crowd.

"Where's Kuri Kushima?"

"Ha——" Suzuki Sonoko was still very upset at being approached by Keigo Atobe, and when she heard what he said, she subconsciously looked at her side, "Where's Ji Li!?" She realized that her friend had suddenly disappeared, and immediately Anxiously want to find Officer Nakamori.

At this moment, Kili Kushima came out from another corner, "I'm here, Sonoko."

She smiled softly and said, "It happened to be washed away just now. The police officer over there stopped me and checked me, but I didn't come here for a while."

Mollyland breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Ji Li, you are fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain to Xinyi."

Kili Kushima frowned, "I should be the one who said this."

Seeing that she was fine, Suzuki Sonoko also felt relieved, "I said, why did Ji Li suddenly disappear. By the way, do you still have your necklaces?" She suddenly remembered and touched her neck. The necklace on it was still there. Now, he looked at the necks of Mao Lilan and Jiudao Jili, and heaved a sigh of relief seeing that they were still there.

"Did Kidd turn off the lights just now to blend in with the crowd?"

Mao Lilan glanced puzzled at the large chandelier on the high ceiling.

Suzuki Sonoko replied: "It should be, but Uncle and the others immediately arranged for someone to check."

Her face was pinched just now, and it still hurts a bit.

Suddenly, she looked at Atobe Keigo maliciously: "Atobe Keigo, you haven't been checked yet, have you? Let me see if you are Kidd—"

Atobe Keigo took a step aside and avoided Suzuki Sonoko's hand. He said with disdain, "How can I be pretended."

Seeing their noisy appearance, Kudao Jiri pursed his lips and smiled.

The sapphire-blue stone of Odin gleamed around her neck.

Atobe Keigo glanced at her and got a smile from her.

...?

Outside the wall of Suzuki Manor, apart from various luxury cars parked, there was also a small truck, which seemed to have just finished carrying something. There was only a plastic bag on the back of the truck, and there was no one in the driver's seat.

In addition, there were several police cars around the outside, and there were serious-looking security officers talking on the walkie-talkie, looking around and checking the surroundings.

This is the wall of the back garden of Suzuki Manor. Not only is there no one coming, but it is also extremely empty.So the guards are relatively relaxed, he is the only one here, unlike other places where there are three steps and one guard.

"Hey, what do you do?"

The young police officer suddenly saw a person approaching, and immediately stopped him politely.

"I'm delivering plants to Suzuki Manor." He froze for a moment, took out his driver's license, pointed to the truck parked there and said, "That's the car, I'm delivering the trees that were just transplanted this afternoon , and then had a meal nearby, and now I am going to leave."

The police carefully compared the information on the driver's license, then pinched his face indiscriminately before letting him go.

"Okay, let's go."

"Go on another road, you are not allowed to drive through the manor."

That road is under martial law, neither cars nor people are allowed to cross.

The driver said naively, "Okay, thank you."

He opened the driver's door and sat on it, operated the car a few times and drove away.

At this time, Police Officer Nakamori in the manor had checked everyone, but Kidd was not found, which made him ponder.

"Are all the necklaces there? None lost?"

Jiroji Suzuki said: "Of course, none of them was lost."

He laughed triumphantly: "I have already achieved the goal of Kaitou Kidd. He just wants to use this to find out which is the real Odin Stone. I will never let him succeed!"

Although Officer Nakamori still looked worried, he could only let Suzuki Jirokichi continue the banquet as he said.

The protagonist of the banquet was Sonoko Suzuki. She took the Odin Stone to speak on stage. Although she usually looked carefree, she looked like a rich lady when she got serious.

"Yuanzi is really beautiful today." Mao Lilan looked at Yuanzi on the stage and applauded her sincerely.

"I think so too, especially with that Odin stone." Kili Kushima's slender white wrist rested on Mao Lilan's shoulder, and slowly moved over to provoke the Odin stone on Lan's body. Shi, "After all, these imitations are so similar that it is almost impossible to tell the real from the fake."

She praised: "Actually, Lan looks pretty with you."

Suddenly she was taken aback by Mao Lilan who was approaching, she smiled embarrassedly and said: "Actually, I still prefer this necklace that Xinyi gave me, although it is not as good as the Odin Stone, but...it is a gift from Xinyi of."

This is also the first time he gave her a necklace.

Although it was not given by hand, it also gave her great care.

Edogawa Conan, who was standing aside, was stunned when he heard this sentence, and he glanced at Mao Lilan with complicated eyes.

orchid……

"But it's a pity. Yuanzi said that she likes this necklace very much. It's a pity that she can't wear it for her birthday." Mao Lilan sighed for her friend, although she may be more excited than Kidd...

Kili Kushima said thoughtfully, "Is that so..."

For some reason, Keigo Atobe, who had been standing by the side without leaving, suddenly said, "Supervisor Sakaki asked if you will still participate in this year's Osaka Music Festival?"

Kili Kushima was stunned for a moment, she thought for a while and replied, "I'm not sure yet, maybe it will be."

When Conan heard this, he immediately turned his suspicious eyes to Kili Kushima.

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko just came back from the stage, and she asked happily: "How is it, today...Keigo Atobe, why are you still here?" Before she finished speaking, she saw the trace standing next to Kushima Bu Jingwu, a little unhappy.As one of the members who used to be obsessed with each other's looks, and then hurt the girl's heart, she didn't wait to see the trace department very much.

"Where is my uncle, do I still need to report to you?"

Atobe Keigo glanced at Suzuki Sonoko.

Atobe, who had just made eye contact with Conan, saw that Conan had brought Officer Nakamori and others, and grabbed Kushima Kori's wrist politely.

"You are not Kili Kushima."

The smile on Kili Kushima's face did not change, "Atobe-kun, what are you talking about?"

She frowned slightly, trying to free her hand.

Officer Nakamori walked over with a serious face, "Miss, please cooperate—"

Before he could speak, Kili Kushima reached out and threw something on the ground, a puff of smoke exploded, and the person who was still there just now disappeared immediately.

"Ah! My necklace is gone!" Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed.

Suzuki Jirokichi, who was following Officer Nakamori, changed his face, "Oops, he took the Odin Stone!"

"what?!"

"It's Kidd! Get Kidd quickly!!!"

Police officer Nakamori immediately called people to block the place, and another police officer shouted in the direction Kidd was running, and immediately took the people there.

Keigo Atobe was not concerned about Kidd's whereabouts, "Is there surveillance in the villa?"

He asked Suzuki Sonoko.

"Yes, yes." Suzuki Sonoko realized that the most important thing now was to find Jiri Kushima, and she immediately took Mao Lilan and others to go there.And Conan had already run after Kidd.

He didn't follow the direction the police officer pointed, but ran towards the direction of the policeman who had just commanded in the confusion.

Phantom Thief Kidd! ! !

Here he ran all the way to chase the Kaitou Kidd who found himself being chased and ran wildly, and they also rushed to the monitoring room on the other side.

There were people watching in the monitoring room all the time, and they said they hadn't seen any abnormalities before, and the video about Jiri Jiudao disappeared only in the 5 minutes when the switch was cut off.

"What should I do?" Suzuki Sonoko was so anxious that he was about to cry, "What should I do if something happened to Ji Li..."

Atobe Keigo stared at the monitor screen intently, and suddenly said after a while: "Can the No. 3 monitor work?"

The person in charge of monitoring was stunned for a moment, "It's possible, but basically no one will pass by that area..."

"Turn the viewing angle of No. 3 surveillance." He ordered coldly.

"Oh, ok." Subconsciously obeying the boy's order, the police guarding the surveillance controlled the surveillance platform, but the truck displayed on the surveillance screen still maintained the same picture as before.He widened his eyes, checked carefully before clapping his hands and said, "The monitoring screen has been changed into a picture!"

Because the time display kept changing, he didn't notice it.

While immediately restoring the operation, he admired the eyesight of the young man standing behind him.

"The truck that was originally parked here is gone!"

Keigo Atobe frowned deeply, "Contact the Metropolitan Police Department to trace the license plate number just now," he clicked his tongue irritably, "After so long, no one found that the surveillance screen is still, Is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department keeping a bunch of wine bags and rice bags?"

This sentence was said by Ji Li. At this moment, Keigo Atobe used it with a bit more aura of a superior, so that several adults couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

The truck on the other side was driving to another place, driving on a quiet road, because there were no people along the way, and the speed was extremely fast.

The driver hummed an unknown tune, and played it loudly with headphones.

His mobile phone kept ringing in the co-pilot, but he didn't notice it.

Suzuki Sonoko put down the phone with an ugly face, "I can't get through..."

Mao Lilan covered her mouth, "Could it be Kidd's accomplice?"

"It shouldn't be Kidd's accomplice. That area is the place where the guards of the manor are the most lax. That's why Kidd threw Miss Jiudao into the truck."

The area of ​​the back garden has been searched, but there is no trace. The only possibility is the truck that should have been parked until the next morning.

Jiri Kushima felt a sharp pain in her neck, and she was awakened by the uninterrupted jolting. When she sat up, she was very dazed.

It took 5 minutes for her to come back to her senses.

This is where?

She was kidnapped?

Kidnapped by a van speeding down the road?

These three questions exploded in her mind.

Cautiously glanced at the driver who was shaking his head in the driver's seat. Looking at it from the back, he felt very difficult to mess with. His strong figure made people despair.

In this situation, Ji Li didn't dare to call for help at all, so she lay down again to avoid being found awake.

How could she be kidnapped at the banquet at Suzuki's house? Could it be that the other party originally wanted to tie Sonoko, but didn't know her appearance was wrong?

No matter how much Jiri Kushima thought, he didn't know that he was thrown into the truck by Kidd and brought here by accident.

After about 10 minutes, the driver stopped the car in the emergency lane, got out of the car and walked into the nearby forest without knowing what to do.

Kili Kushima, who had been waiting for the opportunity, took the opportunity and carefully rolled over from the other side of the car, ran to the opposite place and hid, trying not to make a sound.

She squatted behind the cover, staring at every move on the other side of the truck.

The truck driver pulled up his trousers and came back to look at his car without looking behind him. He climbed up and drove away quickly. This made Kushima Jiri relieved, but also a little depressed.

It doesn't look like a kidnapper... It would have been nice if he had known earlier and told him to take him back to a place where there were people.

Forget it, if it is, the situation will be worse than it is now.

Only now did she realize that the Odin stone on her neck was gone. She touched Kong Kong's neck, thought for a while, and untied the necklace wrapped around her hand and put it on.

This reassured her a little.

Because of the lack of light, Jiri Jiudao frowned, and tried to walk back along the road. There was no sign here to identify the specific direction for her, but she just walked in the direction the truck came.

This highway is a one-way lane, and only two cars passed by in a long time, and none of them responded to Ji Li's waving, whizzing by.

She tugged at her skirt, took a deep breath, and wanted to take off her high heels and walk, because it hurt too much.But the moment her feet touched the ground, the roughness on them was not as good as stepping on high heels, which forced Ji Li to put them back on.

There was a faint light coming from the front, Kudao Jili's eyes lit up, she waved her hand high and shouted to stop.

"Hello--"

Although she is only a cyclist, she is also very excited: "Hello, I have some accidents..."

She talked about her situation in a few words, and the other party was very sympathetic and willing to lend her a phone number.

It's just that he himself was carrying a big bag, and it was a bicycle, so he couldn't take Ji Li away, so he expressed his apology.

Jili Kushima, who had already been ignored by several cars, would not mind this. After she thanked her, she immediately called the police to inform her location. It turned out to be on the North Kanto Expressway, almost to Gunma County.

After reporting to the police, she hesitated, "Can you lend me another call?"

The cyclist agreed heartily, "Do you want to call someone you know?" He took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his backpack: "I used this as a spare, although the style is not very good, But the signal is very strong. I will leave it to you, I have made an appointment with someone, and I may not be able to accompany you until the police arrive."

Ji Li Jiudao hesitated for a moment or accepted the other party's kindness. She asked for the phone number and said that she would return it to him when she went back.

After the cyclist left slowly with his headlight, Kili Kushima looked around and planned to go outside the fence.I just walked on the emergency lane because I wanted to stop the car. Now that I have called the police, it would be dangerous to stay on the road.As she walked aside, she pressed the only number she had memorized.

Seiichi Yukimura, who was quietly lecturing Kirihara, frowned suddenly.

Genichiro Sanada noticed his expression, thought that the other party had just finished the review, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Yukimura didn't want others to worry, and smiled to cover up his momentary discomfort, "Today Chiya has made great progress."

"Senior Jiudao is really good at it!" Akira Kirihara, who still finished all the questions given by Yukimura and Yanagi Renji and had a high accuracy rate, said happily, "I will definitely fail the monthly exam next month." Problem."

After the tennis club's training ended today, it was rare for the main players to have nothing to do, so they gathered together at Sanada's house to study their homework.

There are only two who need tutoring, and the others still focus on preview and review.

Hearing Kirihara's words, Yukimura subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to call Ji Li, but found nothing.

I just remembered that the phone was charged in another room with a socket.

The only thing about Sanada's house is that it is too quaint, many rooms do not use electricity.

It's like giving them a tutoring room, only the lights are on.

Thinking that the other party should be busy at the moment, Yukimura Seiichi put down the idea of ​​getting the phone, and planned to call Ji Li later.

... You really can't walk this way in high heels.

Kili Kushima, who slowly propped up his body from the ground, frowned, took a light from his mobile phone, and found that his palm was bleeding.

She wanted to support the tree to stand up, but there was a sharp pain in her foot.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, misfortunes never come singly.

Ji Li, who was so painful that she almost shed tears, simply sat down against the tree. She glanced at the disconnected message displayed on her mobile phone, and her expression suddenly felt a little depressed.

She texted—are you busy?I'm Ji Li.

About 10 minutes later, she made another call.

Still no answer.

The surroundings are as dark as ink, and there are unknown insects and the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves in my ears.

Kudao Jili was caught off guard and his eyes were red when he missed the answer for the third time.

The person who obviously didn't feel like crying just now, even if he fell, he simply kicked his shoes, was defeated by a few cold and mechanical voices.

She even thought uncontrollably - why am I always absent when I need you?

Kushima Kiri bit her lip, almost turning white.

Yukimura Seiichi probably had something to do so he didn't answer the phone, he just didn't see it, and he would definitely answer it if he saw it.

……but,

but……

Why does this always happen?

Kili Kushima tightly held the necklace that had just been put back on around her neck, and then pulled it off.

The deafening sound of the engine and the screeching sound of the wheels passing by the ground came from far to near. Kujima finally gave up calling Yukimura Seiichi and buried his head between his legs.

On the side of the road in front of her stood a flashlight given to her by the rider just now, to indicate her location.

With a violent friction sound, a sports car stopped here.

The sound of the car door opening and closing did not cause Ji Li to look up.

It wasn't until a familiar voice sounded that she responded slowly.

"You——" Keigo Atobe easily crossed the highway fence with one hand, and frowned subconsciously when he saw Jiri Kushima's appearance at this time.

Kushima Kiri looked up at him.

The tears condensed in the red eyes could not be controlled and slid down the cheeks.

Her voice was hoarse, "Kego Atobe..."

Aggrieved and uncomfortable thoughts surged out: "Why...don't answer my call."

Atobe Keigo walked to her side, turned his back and squatted down, and said in a deep voice, "Come up."

There was a tone of refusal in his voice.

Ji Li was even more sad.

She was already in such a miserable situation, and Keigo Atobe didn't even have a word of comfort.

She slowly moved and lay on the bed, the smell of the perfume on Atobe's body suddenly attracted her attention, it was the one she gave yesterday.

Because of this, Ji Li subconsciously confides his experience, choking a little because of crying: "My foot hurts, no one stops the car, and I don't answer the phone..."

"Lie down." Atobe Keigo turned his head to avoid the hair of Kudao Jiri that slipped on his shoulder. It was a little itchy. Kudao Jiri's crying made him a little upset, "Now I still feel that my uncle Is it heavy to carry three mobile phones with you?"

Jiri Kushima: ...

She suddenly didn't want to cry.
