[Quick New] Choice

The car ahead stopped at a red light, and Yuxiko, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw Shinichi with a disheveled face through the rearview mirror in the car, and asked worriedly: "Xiaoxin, what's wrong? Ugly."

Xinyi pressed his temples, and replied listlessly: "It's okay, I didn't sleep well last night."

Speaking of last night, You Xizi asked: "I seemed to hear movement in your room last night, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Xinyi paused, thinking of the thing he had accidentally broken, his face turned ugly again, "I accidentally hit the thing on the ground."

You Xizi nodded, "You should catch up on sleep when you get home later, I think your complexion is not very good."

Shinichi responded.

During the conversation, they had arrived at the Meiji Shrine.

Yusaku pulled the car into the parking lot, no one noticed, and while he was parking, a car drove out.

When Xin got out of the car, he saw a black car driving out, and he subconsciously took a few steps forward.

You Xizi stopped him, "Xiaoxin, where are you going?"

Shinichi stopped in his tracks and stood there in a daze.

You Xizi walked up to him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Xinyi thought for a while, and still told the truth, "I seem to have seen Kuaidou's car just now."

"Eh? Really?" Yukiko followed his gaze, but saw nothing, she had to accept this fact.He said with some regret: "That's really a coincidence. If we had come earlier, maybe we could still be together."

But the facts are already like this. Although she has some regrets, she will not have any extra feelings.

There were a lot of people coming to Hatsachi, she didn't dare to procrastinate, and quickly forgot about meeting Kaito's family, she greeted Yusaku and Shinichi, and walked to the shrine first.

Shinichi took another deep look at the back, making sure that he really couldn't see Kaidou's car, so he turned around and followed Yuxiko.

When standing at the end of the line, Shinichi was dazed for a moment.

At this time last year, Kaito was standing next to him, but now, things have changed.

He suddenly felt very unaccustomed, obviously his family had been coming to Chuyi like this for more than ten years, and obviously Kaidou only came with him once.But he felt that it was only natural for Kaito to be by his side, and it would be abnormal not to have Kaito's company.

He closed his eyes, hiding the turbulent emotions in his heart.

This is terrible, obviously they have only known each other for a few years, but that person turned him into what he is now.If they got along longer, if he found out later, he couldn't imagine what he would be like at that time, and would he make the same choice without hesitation as before.

No, he opened his eyes, and there was desolation in his eyes.How can they have a future, how can they have a future, everything has come to an end here.

That day he rang the clock and made a wish, but he didn't know what he wished.He walked casually in the temple and saw the place where the ema was hung.

He remembered the scene last year when he and Kaito hung up their respective emas there, and he walked over by a strange coincidence.

His eyes subconsciously wandered around the hanging painted horse. When he realized what he was doing, he froze for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

What was he thinking, how could the ema from so long ago still hang on it, even if it was still there, how could he find the original one with so many emas.

He was very clear in his heart, but the fact was that his eyes never left the upper half.He was persistent, searching for it with some kind of obsession that he himself didn't understand.

He didn't find anything until his eyes were slightly sore.

He lowered his eyelids in frustration, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned and left.

At that moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and he turned his head to avoid the gust of wind, only hearing the sound of a wooden sign hitting behind him, mixed with the sound of a clear wooden sign falling to the ground.

He looked back and saw an ema falling on the ground.Without thinking about it, he leaned over and picked it up. He wanted to hang it up again, but found that its rope had broken.

Shinichi frowned at the ema in his hand, trying to find information about its owner, he turned the ema over.

Then, he was stunned.

I saw that the ema wrote its owner's wish in his very familiar handwriting, and the word "KID" left at the end showed that it was the ema that Shinichi couldn't find.

Shinichi stroked the words on it tremblingly, only feeling that his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, and his natural instinct made him open his mouth and breathe hard.He suppressed the pain in his heart so that he would not let out a cry of pain.

It's just that the more depressed he was, the more painful he felt inside.

His expression was so strange that everyone around him cared and asked him if he needed help.

But he just shook his head, holding on to the ema in his hand tightly, as if holding on to the last straw.

At that moment, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.

But in the end, he just stared at the ema in his hand with blurred eyes.

In the dense vision, he saw his familiar handwriting writing the wish of its owner that no one can pry -

I only wish that the person I love can live happily ever after.I don't ask for anything, but for companionship.

【"What did you write, let me see."

"It's a secret."

"What shameful thing did you write?"

"..."

"Can't everyone see it when you hang it up?"

"After seeing them, I don't know who wrote it. I just want to show the gods and Buddhas."

"Hey! It's not about a certain girl."

"……probably."

"No way, did you really write it? Who is it, the girl you like."

"I like it..."]

The previous conversation was very clear at this moment. At that time, he thought that he was unhappy because of Kaito's concealment. It was not until today that he realized that he was obviously jealous.

He carefully stroked the faded handwriting on it, heartbroken.

This is the wish made by the person he loves, pious and humble.

On the way back that day, Shinichi leaned against the back of the seat all the time. He closed his eyes tightly. He put away the cool ema and put it in the inside pocket of his coat, the place closest to his heart.

You Xizi looked back at him several times, but hesitated to speak.

Yusaku reached out to caress Ami Kiko's hand, and shook his head very lightly.

Yukiko looked a little ugly, but she still didn't speak after hearing Yusaku's words.

Silence spread in the carriage, but what Shinichi needed now was silence.

Not long after, they returned home, Shinichi got out of the car in silence, and just as he opened the door, Yukiko stopped him.

"Xinyi, can we have a chat?" It was rare for Yuxiko not to tease him in terms of address, but to speak very seriously.

Shinichi was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, he didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to be alone.But seeing his mother's worried eyes, he really couldn't say no to it.

He remained silent, acquiescing.

Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief, and entered the room with him.Yusaku parked the car and followed into the house.

Shinichi sat on the sofa, through his coat, his fingers vaguely touched the piece of ema.

Yukiko and Yusaku were sitting on the sofa across from him, she glanced at Yusaku before she said carefully, "Shinichi, are you in a bad mood recently?"

Shinichi knew that he couldn't hide his abnormality from them, blindly concealing it would only make them more worried, so he didn't deny it, but acquiesced.

Seeing that his attitude was cooperative, You Xizi no longer hesitated, and asked directly, "Did you quarrel with Xiaolan?"

A rational person like Shinichi shouldn't have such an emotional reaction, but love can sometimes change a person.They all came from their teenage years, so they naturally understand the power of love, especially they know how much their children care about Xiaolan.

Although You Xizi is also very strange, after all, the relationship between the two children has always been very good, and there is no reason to suddenly quarrel.But other than that, there seems to be no other reason for Shinichi to be strange.

Of course, Yukiko would never know that what caused Shinichi to feel strange, although it was indeed feelings.But not Ran, but Kaito.

Now when Xin heard her ask this question, he knew she had misunderstood.Although some of his troubled problems were indeed related to Xiaolan, in the final analysis it was his own problem, and he would naturally not let Yuxiko continue to misunderstand.

"No." He said the first words after leaving Meiji Shrine, "Mom, what are you thinking, Xiaolan and I are fine, why are we arguing?"

"You still want to hide it from me." You Xizi sighed softly, as if she had seen through everything a long time ago, "Years ago, when I went shopping with Yingri, she told me."

Xinyi was confused, "No, what did Aunt Yingri tell you?"

Said they had a fight?No, they really didn't quarrel.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be pretending, Youxizi was also a little strange, "Yingli told me that Xiaolan was not in a good mood recently, and she always looked sad. When I asked her why, she refused to say, so I guessed whether it was the two of you. There was a quarrel."

Xinyi's face turned serious, "Xiao Lan is not in a good mood?"

He hadn't seen Xiaolan much since he came back from the Christmas trip, but when the two of them usually chatted, everything was obviously normal, so how could she be in a bad mood?

"You don't know?" You Xizi was also surprised, she was quite sure when she asked, but Xin Yi's few words disrupted all her inferences.She murmured a few words, "What's going on here?"

She has no way of knowing Xiaolan's situation now, but there is still hope to know one or two reasons for Xinyi's abnormality.

So she asked: "If you two didn't quarrel, what happened to you these two days and today?"

Shinichi's hand stopped, he pressed the coat, the slightly hard touch of his hand gave him great strength.

His eyes drooped slightly, "I'm fine, it's just that I didn't sleep well at night and I'm not energetic."

Thinking that this reason might not be acceptable, he added, "Also, I accidentally broke the birthday present that Kaito gave me earlier."

He paused, with a look of worry on his face, as if he was really troubled by this moment, "I'm a little worried, I don't know how to fix it."

He smiled, "We still have to fix it, or Kaito might get mad at me if he finds out."

This reason is obviously more convincing than not sleeping well. You Xizi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a blameful tone, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you can ask your father to help you if you can't fix it yourself."

Yusaku, who was named, responded calmly.

Xinyi smiled and smoothed things over, and it was considered as an end to the matter.

Seeing that the matter was settled, he talked to You Xizi and prepared to go back to his room to catch up on sleep.Of course, Yuxiko won't know whether to sleep or do other things after returning home.

Shinichi walked halfway, just as his hand touched the handrail of the stairs, he was suddenly stopped by Yukiko.

"Xinyi." You Xizi said: "You and Xiaolan have been dating for a long time, and the two of us will sit down some other day and settle your affairs."

"If nothing else happens, you two can get married after graduating from university. Of course, if it's too urgent, you can get engaged first."

Shinichi was standing on the stairs, he was standing with the backlight, Yukiko couldn't see his expression clearly, but could only feel that he was silent.

"Xin..." She opened her mouth to ask, but Xinyi suddenly spoke.

"Okay." Shinichi's voice was ethereal, "It's up to you to decide."

"Whether it's marriage or engagement, I don't have any opinion."

You Xizi frowned, "This is a major event in your life, how can we decide..."

"I'm sleepy." Xinyi smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Let's talk about it another day."

He went upstairs with a thud, not giving Yukiko a chance to say more.

You Xizi choked on her unfinished words, she looked sideways at Yusaku, a little worried, "These two children really seem to have a big problem."

Yusaku looked at Shinichi's room thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "Maybe, there is only one problem."

Behind the door, Shinichi leaned against the door and stood for a long time before walking in slowly.

He took the ema out of his coat pocket and stroked it carefully.But looking up slightly, he saw the group photo on the table.

That is, a photo of him and Xiaolan.

He paused his fingers slightly, almost unable to hold the ema.

He put away the ema, and together with the broken tie clip, he hid it deeply.It's like being pressed in the bottom of my heart by him, the feelings that cannot be seen.

He went to the table and picked up the group photo.

You Xizi's words were still echoing in his ears. Looking at Xiaolan's bright smile in the photo, he felt desolate for a moment.

But it was only for a moment.

He rubbed the photos, his heart was full of confusion.

He would marry her, of course he would marry her.He has already betrayed the person he loves, and he cannot even betray the person who loves himself.

Not only will he marry her, but he will treat her better than anyone else in this world.

It's just that he might never be able to fall in love with her again in this life.
