I'm on the scramble

Ah Li, who had to be in the same room with the bamboo horse, tried to take a deep breath, then wrapped her bathrobe tightly around the neckline, and tiptoed back to him like a cat with its tail clamped.

"Why are you sleeping? This was originally a girl's room? You have to stay with me all night. Can you still sleep in this situation?"

Unable to understand Luanbu's leisurely and easy-going attitude, Ah Li finally reminded him with shame.

As she spoke, she tugged at the suture around the cuff of the bathrobe, trying to ease her emotions by stroking the feeling of flowing through her fingertips.It's just that the effect is a drop in the bucket, and it can't completely prevent his exposed face from being stained with too much strange hazel color.

Facts proved that she was thinking too much for others, the black-haired young man on the other side of the quilt yawned, his long and narrow Danfeng eyes were so sleepy that he could barely open them.

He moved the palm covering his mouth, and said with a frank attitude of 'as long as Lord Ranbu is comfortable, everything is fine': "What does it matter, anyway, haven't we slept together before?"

Ah Li retorted subconsciously: "The past is different from the present!"

"What's the difference?"

There was a trace of doubt in Luanbu's troubled expression, as if what she said was beyond the scope of her own comprehension.

In his heart, there are only two options of willingness or unwillingness in everything, and he will not consider other more complicated things.

This is the reason why he can maintain that innocence as a child even when he is 26 years old.

Forever straightforward, frank, yet arrogant and willful, living a chic and comfortable life.

In contrast, Ah Li's heart is too dirty.

This will prevent her from saying that she is already a 'filthy adult', and she will not be able to control things with him sleeping beside her!

Ali stood there and stared at Luanbu for a long time, but she couldn't speak to defend herself. In the end, she could only hold her breath, and she threw herself into the bed next to him like a dolphin.

Futons had already been laid on the tatami mats. Since this was originally the room where Ari and Naomi slept, the store prepared four sets of brand new futons.So Ah Li pushed away the other two sets of unnecessary quilts, leaving only the one that was placed side by side with Ranbu, and lay down on it to arrange the pillow and quilt cover.

The quilts of the two are glued together even through the gaps, which can increase a little more sleeping space, and even if the sleeping side turns sideways by accident, it will not fall on the tatami.

...It is possible to fall asleep and get into the bed on the other side.

Ah Li smoothed out the creases of the quilt with his heart, and when he thought of the above point, he couldn't help being dazed.

Luanbu next door saw that she had already spread the quilt, so she immediately slapped the pillow with a 'bang bang' sound, and no longer felt sleepy, as excited as if she wanted to play all night with Qingmei who came to her home.

"Ali, Ari, come on, I haven't slept like this with you for a long time!"

"...It's not like the kid next door came to stay at your house, why are you so excited."

"It just feels fresh, then I'll sleep."

Luanbu showed a big smile, and then lay down comfortably on the quilt, consciously covered with the quilt.

"? Wait, are you sleeping now?!"

Seeing Luanbu quickly fall asleep, Ah Li's eyes widened.

She sat upright under her quilt, turned her head and saw the chaotic appearance in her eyes, she couldn't believe it.

This is staying in a room alone with her, right?Are you still sleeping less than half a meter away from yourself?A great opportunity to share a room without anyone disturbing you?

Fell asleep without doing anything?

And today, with the help of Naomi and the others, she deliberately dressed up in a yukata, but he didn't respond!

The more Ah Li thought about it, the more he became unbalanced, feeling a sense of depression stuck in his heart, he immediately grabbed the chubby white pillow and hugged him in his arms, as if it was some guy and squeezed it tightly.

This aura forced Luan Bu to sleep completely, he turned his head cautiously, and found that Qingmei, who he had known for many years, was angry for no reason, and her expression was so gloomy that even the sweet spring could not extinguish her anger .

He had no choice but to obediently sit up from the quilt that was lying down well, the snow-white quilt that had fallen down was piled up on his waist and abdomen, and the young man looked quite confused.

"What else do you want to do?"

After being pointed out bluntly, Ah Li's inner voice suddenly missed a beat.She gritted her teeth and stared at the black-haired young man who forced her to reveal this appearance without knowing it, and erratic shame and anger flashed across her face one after another.

But letting him fall asleep like this is not reconciled.

"That's...that's it!"

Ah Li faltered and wanted to give a hint of the previous situation, but the words stuck in his throat inexplicably, and the words were not smooth at all: "That's right, I deliberately..."

During the panic, she gently brushed the hanging hair behind her ears, revealing her delicate side face inadvertently.The neck, which was completely exposed to the air, was too slender, as if a lovely little white rose bloomed in the night, and was soaked thoroughly by the shade of pink roses covering it.

It was not a deliberate behavior, but it cleverly achieved the purpose originally envisioned.

Ranbu seemed to realize something, staring at her in a daze.

However, in the end, Ah Li really couldn't take the initiative to expose, so he just buried his head in the pillow and shouted: "Ah, forget it, you should hurry up and sleep with me!"

She raised her hand and pulled out the flower hairpin she had inserted in the hair gap without hesitation, and the long tea chestnut hair that was tied up fell down after losing the restraint, and draped over her shoulders one after another.The pretty face that had recovered was submerged in the dim yellow halo cast by the chandelier, adding a bit of softness.

Ah Li didn't look at his expression, and angrily stuffed the flower hairpin under the pillow, then impulsively pulled the rope of the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, quickly grabbed the corner of the quilt, got inside and lay down with his back facing random steps.The three actions in a row were completed in the blink of an eye, and the quilt that was violently pulled out of the waves in the air made a loud 'crack'.

The small chandelier in the Japanese room is thoughtfully provided by the store as nighttime lighting for the guests. The brightness itself is not glaring, but only softly emits a hazy halo through the lampshade. Even if it is turned on all night, it will not feel the slightest in sleep. discomfort.

But Ah Li turned it off, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

The night after the case was settled was silent, and the breath of night finally penetrated through the cracks in the doors and windows.

The two of them nestled in their respective quilts, like two arched hills.Ah Li lay on his side with his back facing Luanbu, and could feel the movement of his people turning over and over behind him.

Such a situation made Ah Li gradually anxious.

The presence of chaos is too high.

She couldn't deny her inner thoughts.The fact that the person she liked was lying not far from her side made it impossible for her to sleep peacefully.

I want to talk to him, I want to touch him, I want to catch his fingers, I want to be close to him...

The sense of security created by the darkness gave rise to thoughts that were unimaginable in her heart.The feeling of liking forced her to greedily ask for more things.

It was just a few minutes of random thinking, and my head was filled with things about him.

However, the other side was also restless, and the movement of chaotic steps and churning was too loud, Ah Li made a mental preparation, and finally turned over and turned his face to the other side.

"Random steps..."

"Ash!"

But she didn't expect to bump into Luanbu's face head-on as soon as she turned around.

Ah Li was frightened immediately, "wow", grabbed the corner of the quilt to block him, and retreated tactically.

"You, what did you call me for!"

Ah Li only vigilantly exposed a pair of eyes outside the quilt.

Could it be the same as her, unable to sleep because of the other party's side...

Just as Ah Li was secretly guessing, the black-haired young man opposite her said softly to her rather distressed: "A Li, I can't sleep without turning on the light..."

Ash: "..."

A few seconds later, Ah Li angrily got up and took out his pillow and threw it at him.

"Wow, Ah Li, what are you doing—"

Suffering from the sudden attack, Ranbu hastily removed the pillow on his face, and sat up abruptly like Ali.He was almost puffer fish with anger, and the pain of being hit by a pillow filled with down still remained on his face.

Ah Li is the same childish type as him, and deliberately retaliated against him by saying: "I won't drive it for you! You are so annoying to Luanbu!"

Ranpo was suddenly put on such a hat, and his expression changed immediately: "I haven't said you, Ali! You actually took advantage of my unpreparedness to attack me with a pillow, and watch my master Ranpo's counterattack—"

As he said that, he picked up his pillow and threw it at her, imitating what A Li did just now. A Li took back his pillow and started a fierce pillow fight with him in the middle of the night.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"Ali, you are a big fool!"

Now let alone sleep, whether he can lie down properly has become a problem.Two children who did not graduate from kindergarten kept attacking each other with each other's pillows. The pillows with down cores are very soft, and they won't hurt if they slap each other. At most, it is a pain of love.

But right now it's not the kind of scene where chickens are pecking at each other. With Luanbu's thin body, of course he can't beat Ah Li, and soon he is exhausted and falls into a weak position.But the great detective naturally knows when to take what kind of strategy to reverse the situation.

While Ah Li raised the pillow again, he suddenly dropped the pillow in his hand, and rushed towards Ah Li with all his strength.

The bodies of the two overlapped and fell obliquely on the white quilt behind them, and the pillow was thrown and flew on the tatami due to this movement.The black-haired young man was still panting, his chest rising and falling, pressing against her body.

Ah Li's thinking really stopped.

The opponent's arms pressed against the sides of her head.Even though the light was not turned on, the handsome face of the black-haired young man could be vaguely recognized from this close distance.

His breath blew in front of Ah Li, making her eyelashes tremble slightly.

It seemed that the moment the posture of the two of them changed, the atmosphere became strange.

"Chaotic...chaotic walking?"

Ah Li's voice was out of tune uncontrollably, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

"Falling to the ground for 10 seconds is the victory of Lord Ranpo!"

"...It's not boxing, don't change the rules for me!"

Hearing that his bamboo horse randomly applied other rules to judge the outcome, Ah Li felt that the girl's heart that had been brewing was shattered again, replaced by a collapse full of expectations.But soon, she found that she couldn't maintain this relaxed mood.

"Even so, it's Ranpo-sama's victory!"

The detective announced the result vaguely, accepting no rebuttal from anyone.

After so much fuss, he finally let go of all his burdens and lay down on his side as if he was tired from playing, and very naturally put his arms around A Li's head, almost pulling her into his arms and completely encircling her.

"...Ah Li."

A brisk voice with protracted steps came from above his head: "You are so cute dressed like this today."

If you can see into Ah Li's mind, you will definitely find an enlarged version of cluster fireworks exploding at this moment.

Her head was in a mess, and she couldn't help but said, "Why, why did you choose to tell me this at such a time..."

"Because I promised you to tell it before."

The detective's lazy but clear voice rang in his ears, and Ah Li belatedly recalled that when he changed his style before, he and his "seriously tell the fact that she is cute every time" agreement.

——Because she wanted to hear how she felt in the other person's heart.

"Even so, the timing is not right now..." Ah Li buried his face deeply, not daring to observe his expression.

There was a thumping heartbeat in my ear.

She could feel the breath of youth surrounding her, her thin chest and a pair of arms trapped her in this small world, and she could smell the faint scent of acacia on his body, unscrupulously rushing into her body to become a part of myself.

Just realizing this is enough to make people feel wild joy spontaneously.

"There are so many particulars." Luanbu curled his lips dissatisfied with her words, "I think you are cute, so it's okay to say it anytime."

After speaking, he wanted to straighten up and grab the string of the chandelier overhead.Ah Li didn't want to drive for him, so he had to rely on himself.

But at the moment when the young man's slender and bright fingertips were about to touch the drawstring, the girl hugged his raised arm.

"Don't turn on the light." A Li, who hugged the bamboo horse's arm, buried his face in the wide sleeve of his bathrobe, and said in a muffled voice, "It will make people feel embarrassed..."

A few strands of unbearable emotion leaked out of the slightly trembling girl's voice, as if a burst of evening primrose was suddenly blown by the evening wind, making the air in the room sweeter.

I can't tell if it's her little movements that are full of dependence, or the vibrato at the end of her words, or the softness and warmth she conveyed through the bathrobe. The calmness that the famous detective is proud of is finally torn apart a little. small gap.

The surrounding air gradually warmed up as if fermenting.

The blocked black-haired youth failed to turn on the light again, but lowered his head and hugged the tea chestnut-haired girl under him again.

The palm of the palm can clearly feel the soft, warm and smooth skin under the bathrobe of the other party. It is different from the ignorant and ignorant hug when I was a child. It involves the ardor and ambiguity of excessively wandering on the edge of danger.

It seems that they have crossed the previous relationship all of a sudden, and entered into another world that has never been explored and does not know the depth.

"You are too cunning, if you do this, you will make Lord Ranbu at a loss..."

He leaned his head against her forehead and complained, the itchy touch of the tangled hair burning under the skin.

"I can't help but want to do bad things to you."

When the two of them fell asleep, they still wore the original light and loose bathrobes. In this dark environment, they easily loosened with a slight movement.As long as you slightly shift your vision from the corner of your eyes, you can catch a glimpse of the neckline of the bathrobe that he leaned over to expose, and the young man's slender and delicate collarbone and the well-protected white chest without any scars appear in front of his eyes.

Ah Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, and his whole body was about to melt in his enveloped breath.

She couldn't help but put her hands behind Ranbu's back, as if not allowing anyone to escape, she closed her eyes and hugged him tightly back to his body.

"can."

Ranbu opened Bi Cui's eyes in surprise: "What?"

"I said it's okay, it's okay! You can do whatever you want to me!"

Then Ah Li finished speaking in one breath as if mustering all his courage, his complexion was already flushed here, and he felt as if his head had been soaked in a basin of warm water and it was difficult to breathe.

She didn't dare to pry into his claustrophobic eyes as he reacted, and recklessly pursued the long-awaited sincerity in the endless darkness: "But...but I want to know, Ranbu, do you, like, like me or not?" ?”

The first time the topic was put on the bright side, the air became dry in an instant, and the Adam's apple exposed by the chaotic steps rolled slightly, thinking that she was asking questions knowingly.

He said dryly: "Are you an idiot? Isn't this obvious?"

"You're the idiot! That's important to me, okay?"

The pair of childhood sweethearts couldn't help scolding each other again.But this time, Ah Li was far more self-willed than usual, not only trying to conquer him with an exaggerated volume, but also cowardly burying his little head in the crock of Luanbu's neck, not daring to let him see clearly what he was doing right now. expression.

"If you didn't say it to me in person, it would be meaningless."

With her cheek attached to the young man's neck, feeling the steady beating pulse under his thin skin, she, who closed her eyes tightly, seemed to be drawn to dare to speak her heart under this situation——

"You know what I've been thinking about?"

"The ability I was born with seems to be constantly telling me what kind of concept it is to 'lose' - the life of my parents, a happy family, the principles of life, and the fact that I have lived in this world so far. The meaning of it all collapsed in that incident. Since I was six years old, I have been losing it."

"It was so hard to meet you and Dad again. It was you who kept filling me with beautiful things in the following years, and filled all the blanks I lost. I am very scared... Obviously, I have nostalgia for and dependence on you. My relationship with you has swelled to a terrible level year by year, but I still dare not even say a word of my heart to you."

"The older I get, the more afraid I become. I'm afraid that you might dislike me even a little bit. I'm afraid that speaking first may destroy the relationship we've been maintaining. I'm afraid that my hands can't be controlled and I won't even be able to touch me." You also lose..."

The emotion that was about to overflow was not relieved in the slightest as she continued to confide the truth. Instead, it was still raging endlessly in her body. The atrium began to swell and ache.

But suddenly, Ah Li found that his wrist, which blocked his eyes, was held by Luanbu and pressed against the quilt.She tried her best to open her eyelids, and in the moist field of vision that blurred the darkness and the scenery, she could only distinguish the beautiful green color left in the other's eyes.

"You are really a fool, how could you lose it?"

Ranbu's soft black shattered hair hung down to her forehead, like a few pieces of snow piled up on her body, gently burying the uneasiness in her heart.

"Including your ability, that is not something that will make you lose important things."

The detective's assertive tone seemed so firm at this moment, as if using [Super Reasoning], as long as it was said by him, it was the truth of course.

"From the time you disappeared to the time we met again, there were five full years. Then I will spend ten years, 20 years, 50 years... It is dozens of times of time to be by your side—no matter what you lose No matter how many things have passed, how many blanks have been filled in your heart by sad, sad or unfortunate times, I will fill them with more, better and happier things! The whole rest of your life is already mine—"

"Because you, Ali, are also a lost and found treasure to me."

The moonlight outside the paper window flowed in like silver ribbons, but barely stayed at their feet.With the eyelids covered with mist, it is completely impossible to see the surrounding things clearly.But Ah Li was really shaken, and his words forcefully broke the shackles that were hidden.

Losing any sense of defense left her feeling overwhelmed.

And at this time, the black-haired young man seemed to feel embarrassed because he said such provocative words to her.He subtly shifted his eyes a little, determined to blame Qingmei for all his faults.

"It's all because you are thinking about such unrealistic things, that you forced Lord Ranpo to tell such a secret that you would never reveal normally—Master Ranpo is going to punish you for doing bad things."

"Varied……"

Before he could react, Ah Li felt a black shadow covering his eyes.Her lips touched a soft touch that didn't belong to her. It felt as soft as touching cotton candy, with a nostalgic magic power.

But it left quickly, as if afraid of being discovered by the owner opposite.The green kiss that had stayed on the lips was as short as the ethereal bubbles in a dream bursting due to the wind.

Realizing what happened, Ah Li raised the back of his hand to cover his lips, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Disorderly……"

——That was her first kiss! !

The girl lying on the quilt wanted to scream crazily, but her vocal cords were stuck by the overwhelming sense of happiness, her throat was trembling, and she couldn't spit out even a single word from it.

In fact, the famous detective in front of her couldn't calm down much at the moment.

Even if the lights in the room are not turned on, you can still see through the light moonlight outside the window, you can see his cute face that is clearly flushed, but still deliberately bluffing.

"You still don't understand, idiot Ari!"

He was like a cat who only tried to hide his shyness with a threatening appearance, he opened his mouth and said to her with a 'hoo-hoo-hoo', "Master Ranpo likes..."

The overjoyed mood is finally in Ah Li's heart at this moment, blooming like an extremely grand firework in this night of 22 years of acquaintance with him.

Every heartbeat in the chest is like fireworks rising into the sky.She opened her eyes wide and looked forward to it, her intense inner voice almost covered up her sweetheart's words.

But while waiting for the complete confession, Dun's heartbreaking cry for help from outside the wing first overwhelmed their voices.

"Ah, Miss Li, help me—"
