I'm on the scramble

In an instant, Ah Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and jumped two steps after screaming.

A black-haired young man in a small brown cape fell into a pile of snack boxes and wore a brown detective hat that was half crooked. He shook his head uncomfortably and shook off the snacks on the hat. He looked like a candy house The little prince born in the village blends into this sweet painting without any disobedience.

--What's this?Out of the closet?It's too cute, right? !

This idea could not be restrained from appearing in Ah Li's heart, but after half a second, he slapped the unpromising words in his mind.She stared at Ranbu who appeared here unexpectedly, her heart beating so fast that she almost jumped out of her body.

"Why are you here? No, how did you get into the locked cabinet?!" She looked at the cabinet, then at the chaotic steps, her mushy head lost the ability to think.

Ranbu seemed to be eating small biscuits in a narrow locker to pass the time before, with some milky white soda crumbs on his lips, when Ah Li asked, he threw half of a sugar biscuit into his mouth Li, licking the residue of his lips.

"It's a simple trick."

He raised his hand, revealing a certain key tied by two ropes hanging from his index finger.

It seemed that it was the key of the locker, and the key was bound by the gaudy packaging ribbon on the snack box. The ribbon served as a rope, one long and one short, with a width of about half a centimeter.The long one is tied to the top horizontal to the key, and the short one is tied to the side perpendicular to the key. Pull the two ropes and stretch them so that they form a 90-degree right angle to each other.

Luanbu grasped the two ropes tied with the keys with both hands, and played them casually and flexibly between his fingers like playing with a flower rope.

"For the sake of your hard work to find me, let me explain to you, Ah Li, did you see the soft stool in front of the locker?"

While tossing the packing rope, he raised his chin, signaling Ah Li to turn his gaze to the soft green leather stool in front of the two of them.

"I first use two ropes to pass through the round hole of the key in such a way that they are perpendicular to each other, and then wrap the short one around the key handle counterclockwise, that is, in the direction of locking, and pass the end through the top of the locker. The ventilation hole is drawn into the interior. The long one goes around the foot of the soft stool, and then is also pulled in from the gap on the top of the locker, so that there will be enough space for operation.”

"Finally, I inserted the key into the lock, got into the locker and closed the door by myself, and pulled the short rope obliquely inside, and the key would rotate and lock itself under the action of the rope being untied. After the lock was finished Then I let go of the short rope and then pulled back the long rope so that the key would slowly follow the path of the rope back to my hand."

"That's it! A famous detective who was trapped in the cabinet appeared!" Luanbu gestured casually in the air, with a frank and proud look in his words and deeds.

Sure enough, a detective is always the person closest to the thinking level of a high-IQ criminal. Once the perspective is changed, it is not difficult to create a secret room as easily as a criminal.

After listening to the operation, Ah Li couldn't help but choked up speechlessly: "...why are you making it so complicated?"

Luanbu tossed the key in his hand, pouted and said, "It's Ah Li, who doesn't bother to use his brain as soon as I'm around, you're too stupid."

Hearing what he said, Ah Li's mood was suddenly taken over by a wave of annoyance, and he rushed over and grabbed Luanbu's cheek and pulled it aside, in order to teach this impatient guy a lesson.

"I haven't told you yet, do you know it's dangerous to do this! What if I don't find you? You will be trapped here forever!"

Like the very dangerous game of hide-and-seek, in Japan it is a crime for a group of children to play hide-and-seek in an unattended building.Because this game itself has a certain degree of danger, if a child's hiding place can't be found, the consequences are almost unimaginable.

That's why she was so angry.

The handsome baby-faced young man was pinched by her and screamed, quickly pushed her hand away, and said angrily: "It's okay, I have already told the boss of Whirlpool in advance, and said that if you want to find me, you can come." Come to the tea room. Even if there is an accident, I still have a mobile phone with me, just press the first button and it will be your emergency call number."

"And... And I have to stay here and squat to see you today."

Speaking of the latter, he opened and closed his soft lips indistinctly, and there was still a vague chewing sound in his mouth.

"... squatting on me?"

Ah Li's heart suddenly missed half a beat, and then started beating wildly.

Because of this sentence, the atmosphere quietly changed in a place unknown to the two of them.

Mr. Detective, who devoted himself to guarding the cat in the closet, held the girl's soft little hand in his palm, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.He didn't know where the key was lost during the operation, maybe it was drowned in the messy pile of snacks around it with a 'plop'.

Even her heart, like the key, is lost in a world as colorful as candy.

Plop, plop, thumping restlessly submerged under the calm water.

Under Ah Li's dazed gaze, Luanbu turned his head and spread out a hand, accurately picked out a transparent boxed item from the pile of snacks around him, and handed it to her with a slightly awkward expression.

"Now, you are not allowed to be angry with me anymore."

His eyes slowly focused, it was the limited-edition coffee jelly in a cup that Ah Li accidentally ate before.

It turned out that behind Ranpo, she did the same thing as she did, and wanted to use this jelly as a gift for reconciliation.

Realizing this, Ah Li's heart was completely filled with sweetness and joy, as if fireworks exploded above her heart.

But completely contrary to that mood, her love is quiet, like the waves and tidal noises made by dolphins, she wants to be put into a conch shell and dare not be heard by the other party.

The fluctuating shyness made the girl with tea chestnut hair want to look away from Luanbu's face, but at this moment, her eyes were firmly fixed on his face, unable to move half an inch away.The eyes that reflected the figure of the bamboo horse were shining with wet light, appearing powerless and stubborn.

"……What about mine?"

At this moment, the black-haired young man suddenly spread his palms towards her, puffed his mouth, and asked her for something willful expression.

"Ah?" Ah Li's expression was dumbfounded.

After quickly understanding what he meant, she instantly broke away from that joyful emotion, her honey-gold almond eyes widened, revealing an emotion of disbelief.

"What, did you know that I was going to bring you coffee jelly?"

Ah Li's other hand couldn't help but hide the paper bag behind his back even more tightly with his other hand.

Ranbu saw through this with sharp eyes, and immediately stretched out his arms towards her, wanting to come and snatch her.

"You found out when you returned to the detective agency. Otherwise, why do you think I hid here on purpose to wait for you? With your ability, Ah Li, if I didn't release water every time I play hide-and-seek, you wouldn't be a ghost." What a coincidence to find me—”

"You talk nonsense! I obviously caught you every time with real skills! Ah, don't snatch it, I'll just give it to you!"

Ah Li blushed in embarrassment when he was rushed by Luanbu, so he gave up resisting, and handed the box of coffee jelly to Luanbu.

Luanbu, who had successfully obtained the gift box, showed a satisfied expression. His narrow and delicate eyes were curved. He held his gift up above his head and looked around. The shadows covered his slightly opened emerald eyes, as if the night sky woven A piece of emerald galaxy, innocent and romantic.

After a while, his face suddenly leaned over on a whim, pouted coquettishly and said, "Hey me!"

A naturally cute look.

In order to hide the blush on her face, Ah Li hurriedly lowered her head by opening the gift box, and lowered her voice to agree: "...Okay."

I just didn't expect that when I pulled my hands roughly, the box in my hand let out a mournful cry, "Hiss—" she tore it in half.

"...cough!" Ah Li gave a fake cough, and decided to pretend nothing happened.

It wasn't until she opened her share of coffee jelly that she suddenly realized that the six pieces she had picked for Luanbu were packed in a gift box, which needed to be taken out and eaten in a bowl, which was not suitable for the current situation.

So she happily threw away the gift box that was killed in battle in her hands, and directly chose to open the box of cups that Luanbu gave her.

Coffee jelly is always eaten with whipped cream or condensed milk. Ali opened the transparent lid of the cup of jelly, tore the attached condensed milk box and spoon from the plastic bag, and slowly poured the fragrant white condensed milk into the top of the jelly. Milk.

Dig out a piece with a plastic spoon, and you can see the caramel-colored coffee jelly wrapped in the sweetness of winter snow, swaying softly at the bottom of the spoon.Ah Li passed the spoon to the side, and the black-haired young man who was as cunning as a cat immediately snatched it away.

The slightly bitter jelly-like jelly is wrapped in the aroma and sweetness, turning it into a supreme delicacy. When you bite your teeth lightly, the sweet but not greasy taste of coffee milk will soothe your taste buds.

Ranpo immediately narrowed his eyes in satisfaction of this delicious food.

He was comfortably next to Ah Li, enjoying the special feeding service from her. Both of them seemed to ignore the closer distance between childhood sweethearts than outsiders, and their shoulders were extremely close.

Ah Li looked at his face full of joy, and for some reason, felt that his mood was also jumping for joy.

But here she chose to repeat the old time on purpose, and lowered her voice awkwardly and asked, "You said before, 'Don't talk to me until I coax you well', why are you so talkative all of a sudden?"

——It turned out that he couldn't help but come to her, so he slapped himself in the face.

"You were the one who opened the mouth first, and Master Luanbu is not considered a loser!"

After hearing this, Ranbu puffed out her mouth in dissatisfaction, reached out and snatched the plastic cup from her hand, and dug it with a spoon with an expression of "you can't see this".

Ah Li originally thought that he was going to eat by himself, but unexpectedly he scooped up a spoonful of jelly and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's all my fault, Ah Li, that you are so disappointing that you never came to find Lord Ranbu! Then it's up to me to work hard..."

He thought about it confidently and confidently, and then he scooped up a spoonful of jelly and ate it by himself, turning his head away from her.

"Who made you more important than coffee jelly in my heart?"

Ah Li, who stopped thinking, didn't even taste the taste, just because of his words, he swallowed the mouthful of coffee jelly, until a sweet intoxication came from the back of his tongue belatedly.

Ash blinked.

……Eh? ? ?
