[Quick New] Choice

"Surprise!"

"You guys are..." Xinyi stared blankly at the crowd in front of him. There were so many people standing in the room he thought was empty!

Shiho, Doctor, Sonoko, Kyogoku, Aoko, Heiji, Kazuha...almost everyone who knew him was here.

Before he had time to ask why they gathered here, the light that had just been turned on was turned off again.

A small light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then the light got closer and brighter.

A soft voice suddenly sounded as the light approached——

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"

The soft happy birthday song sounded, and Xin knew instantly that today was his birthday.

He then glanced at the few people not far away by candlelight, then looked at Xiaolan who was standing in front of him holding a birthday cake, smiled and shook his head helplessly, "You are really..."

After singing the happy birthday song, Xiaolan said, "Xinyi, quickly make a wish and blow out the candles."

Xinyi closed his eyes, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his mind went blank for a moment, and a figure seemed to flash in his mind, but it didn't seem to exist.

In a daze, he had already blown out the candle, but he couldn't remember what wish he had made.

Amid cheers, the lights came on again.

Shinichi turned his head and saw that the person standing in front of the switch was Kaito.

He scanned Kaito's face and saw Shiho, Doctor, Aoko along the way, and finally Ran in front of him.

Feeling both joy and helplessness in his heart, he said, "So many of you lied to me just to celebrate my birthday?"

"How can you say it's a lie." Yuanzi said, "This is a surprise specially prepared for you."

"Yes." He Ye Ying said: "Xiao Lan also specially called me and Heiji, just to let Kudo you have a good birthday, you have to thank Xiao Lan very much."

Xinyi looked down at Xiaolan in front of him, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Thank you, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan shook her head, "There's no need to talk about this between us."

Heiji booed: "It's no sincerity to say nothing, Kudo!"

Yuanzi was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and echoed from the sidelines, "That's right, that's right!"

Xiaolan had a premonition of something, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Xinyi looked helplessly at the group of people who were watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, held Xiaolan's face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed it.

Kaito clenched his hands suddenly, the neat nails pierced his palms achingly, but it wasn't a tenth of the pain in his heart.

He turned his head slightly, not wanting to see the scene of their concubine love.

But even if he couldn't see it, he could still imagine the scene just by hearing the booing voices of those people.

His beloved is with another woman...

He smiled bitterly in his heart, because he knew that he was not even qualified to be jealous.

Fortunately, the torture didn't last long, and Shinichi let Xiaolan go quickly, apparently he wasn't interested in having a French kiss in front of others.

But even so, Kaito couldn't stand it any longer.

When the crowd scattered to play, he took a glass of champagne and walked to the balcony.

The night wind at the beginning of May is slightly cool, but this coolness is extremely needed for Kaidou at this time.

There were bursts of laughter in the room behind him from time to time, but he stood quietly outside all the time, out of tune with that world.

"Squeak-"

The balcony door was opened again.

Someone came up behind him.

Kaito tightened his hand holding the wine glass, feeling a little nervous and expectant in his heart.

"Why is Heiyu-kun here alone?"

The cold female voice sounded, and the hope in Kaito's heart was shattered.

He turned around slowly and looked at Shiho who was standing in front of him.

"Isn't Miyano-san also here?"

Zhibao's answer was somewhat unexpected. She said, "I'm here because you're here."

"Oh?" Kaito shook his glass slightly, took a sip, and said, "It seems that Miyano-san is here for me, but this seems to be only the second time I've seen Miyano-san."

"Heiyu-kun is sure, is this really the second time you see me?"

Kaito's hand paused, of course this was not the second time he had seen Shiho, but since Shinichi had chosen to help him conceal his identity, he would naturally not reveal his identity.

He smiled slightly, and teased, "It's indeed the second time I saw Miyano-san, but I don't know how many times Miyano-san saw me."

There was something in his words, implying that Zhibao had secretly seen him.

Zhibao was not annoyed when he heard this, on the contrary, he became more and more sure of his conjecture.

She didn't follow Kaito's words, but instead asked, "Kuroba-kun, don't you think that you and Kudo look a bit alike?"

"What's the matter?" Kaito chuckled, "It's normal for people to be similar, isn't it?"

"Furthermore..." He touched his face, and that handsome face gradually lost its childishness and became sharp-edged, and it was no longer the same as Shinichi's face.

"It used to be very similar, but now, it can only be said to be somewhat similar."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said narcissistically: "Good-looking people have some similarities, don't you think, Miyano-san?"

Shiho: "..."

She said: "About three years ago, there was a famous thief active in Japan and even the whole world, Kaitou Kidd, do you know him?"

Kaito nodded, "Phantom Thief Kidd is so famous, of course I know."

Zhibao looked at him intently, "Then do you know that Kaitou Kidd and Kudou also look very similar?"

"Oh?" Kaito pretended to be surprised, "There is such a thing? But how did I hear that no one has ever seen Kaito Kid's true face?"

"Others may not know, but I know." Zhibao said, "Of course, Kudo also knows."

"What's very strange," Zhibao said, "that Kaitou Kidd suddenly disappeared more than two years ago, and never came out to commit crimes again."

"Ah." She seemed to have just thought of something, and said with a light smile: "Speaking of which, Kuroba-kun suddenly appeared at that time and became Kudou's good friend, right?"

"Really? I didn't know about it." Kaito said with a smile, "That's really a coincidence."

Zhibao paused for a while before speaking again, "Are you going to continue pretending you don't know anything, Mr. Thief?"

Kaito looked as usual, still smiling, "Does Miyano-san actually think that I am the missing Phantom Thief Kid? Unfortunately, I am not."

"Really?" Shiho asked, "I still remember the first time I saw Kuroba-kun, it seemed to be the time when Kudo and you were stranded on a deserted island, and Kuroba-kun might not have seen me when he was in a coma. But I have always been deeply impressed by Kuroba-kun."

Kaito's smile froze for a moment, he didn't expect that Shiho saw him at that time.

"Tell me, how could it be such a coincidence?" Zhibao said: "Kid the Kaitou appeared on the day the organization was destroyed, that is, after that time, Kidd the Kaito never committed a crime. And you, at that time, suddenly met with Kudo They appeared together on a deserted island, saved his life, and became his good brothers."

"Kuroba-kun." Shiho asked, "Do you think there is such a coincidence in the world?"

Kaito's smile disappeared.

He looked at Zhibao without saying a word, and Zhibao confronted him without fear.

Kaito suddenly drank all the champagne in his glass, "I can't refute what Miyano-san said."

He smiled, and said calmly: "Yes, I am Kaitou Kidd, what does Miyano-san want, should the police arrest me?"

The air froze for a while.

Then Shiho shook his head slowly but firmly, "I think Kuroba-kun may not know me well enough."

Kaito raised his eyebrows slightly.

I just heard her say: "I'm not a person with a full sense of justice, and I'm not interested in helping the police catch any robbers."

She stared at Kaito, "Although I don't know how you did it, let Kudo, a righteous detective who only wants to solve the case, let you go, and even became friends with you."

"But," she said, "I trust him, so I trust you too."

Kaito opened his eyes slightly.

Zhibao smiled lightly, "I'm actually here today just to thank you—"

"Thank you for saving me once."

"You..." Kaito was at a loss by such a reversal, "You're welcome, Shinichi and I cleared things up about that incident early in the morning."

Even though he was clean, he didn't want to recall it at all.

Zhibao smiled, and just about to speak, the balcony door was pushed open again.

The two looked over at the same time, only to see Xinyi looking at them with a surprised face.

"You guys are..." He pointed to Kaito and then to Shiho, "What kind of strange combination is this?"

Kaito and Shiho looked at each other, and they agreed to keep what happened just now a secret.

Kaito smiled and said, "It's okay, I came to the balcony to sober up, and I happened to meet Miyano-san, and we chatted for a while because we thought it was a good match."

The corner of Xinyi's mouth twitched, "You and her? Hate?"

Zhibao looked over dissatisfied, "Why, what do you think of me?"

"No, no, no." Xinyi second said cowardly, "How dare I have any opinion on you."

Kaito walked over with a smile, straightened his collar naturally, "What about you, birthday boy, why are you here too?"

Xinyi glared at him lightly, "What are you talking about, I searched for you for a long time, but you ran to the balcony by yourself!"

Kaito laughed, "You have so many friends here, why are you looking for me?"

"I can't find you anymore?" Xinyi strangled him and walked into the house. "You bastard, you lied to me with them, and you said that you can't tell me about Qingzi's private affairs. Let me ask you, what will happen to my birthday?" Is it Qingzi's private matter?"

"Hey, take it easy." Kaito smiled and walked in with him, "What can I do, Xiaolan told us to hide it from you, I can't destroy her wish."

Shinichi gritted his teeth, "You knew about this a long time ago, you even asked me to do experiments together, and you left me alone in the laboratory, huh?"

Kaito explained: "They asked me to find a way to hold you back, I was also forced to do nothing."

"I don't care." Xindao said, "You have to have a drink with me today."

"Okay, okay." Kaidou said dotingly: "Your birthday is the biggest today, you can ask me to do anything."

"Really? Then..."

As the two of them walked farther and farther away, Zhibao gradually couldn't hear the content of their conversation, but he could see the bright smiles on their faces.

She chuckled, feeling more and more that her decision was correct.

It's just that she didn't know that two people who were so close to each other would end up in such a situation.

If only she had known earlier, earlier...
