[Quick New] Choice

There were rustling footsteps, and Xiaolan, who was watching Qingzi and Kuaidou engrossedly behind the bushes, didn't notice until a voice sounded.

"Lan, why are you here? What are you looking at?" Shinichi looked at Xiaolan who was hiding behind the bushes suspiciously, and asked aloud.

Xiaolan was taken aback, she turned her head and saw Xinyi coming, recalled the scene she saw not long ago, and subconsciously started to stop him.

"Xin, Xinyi, it's nothing, I'm not watching anything. Have you eaten yet? Let's go eat." Xiaolan said nervously.

"It's only ten o'clock, what's for dinner?" Xinyi laughed, he had never seen Xiaolan in such a panic, and he became more and more curious about what was going on behind the bushes.

He was tall, and there was only one bush in the bush. He took two steps to the side and walked around Xiaolan, and saw Qingzi throwing himself into Kuaidou's arms not far away.

When he saw Kaito, Kaito also saw him. At that moment, Kaito almost subconsciously wanted to push Aoko away, but he quickly realized that it was meaningless to do so—it was just being seen hugging him. So what about Qingzi, it was impossible for them to make him think that he was already with Qingzi, maybe Shinichi would stop worrying about his feelings because of this.

What's more, he already felt guilty towards Qingzi.Qingzi only made such a request, how could he bear to push her away.

The hand of refusal fell on Aoko's shoulder, and in the end Kaito just patted her pityingly.

No one except Kaito himself knew about the emotional changes during this process. He, Qingzi, and even Xiaolan, who witnessed the whole process, knew that this was just a comforting hug.

But Shinichi didn't understand at all, he could only see the two hugging each other intimately, and that intimacy made his eyes hurt.He took a step forward uncontrollably, and was pulled back by Xiaolan.

Xinyi's reaction completely verified Xiaolan's inner guess. She was heartbroken and worried at the same time, "Xinyi, are you alright?"

With a sliver of rationality returning, Xinyi suppressed the pain in his heart, and said with a smile: "How could something happen to me, but the two of them, are they together?"

He didn't know that his smile was uglier than crying now, Xiaolan was both sad and distressed, she shook her head and said, "No, it's Qingzi who confessed to Kaidou."

Xinyi's expression was too ugly, Xiaolan couldn't bear to see him sad, the words "Kaito seems to have rejected Qingzi" came to her lips, but she didn't know how to say it.

Having said that, Qingzi would be too embarrassed.Moreover, no matter how magnanimous and kind she is, she still wants to guard her love, even if that relationship has already existed in name only, she can't give up her lover.

But in fact, it doesn't make any difference whether she talks or not, Xinyi is completely out of shape at this time, and can't hear what she is saying at all, and only the two embracing people are left in his eyes and mind.

"Ah!" Xiaolan whispered, looking at the two in disbelief, her cheeks flushed slightly, "How is it possible..." Didn't Kuaidou reject Qingzi? How could the two kiss?

Shinichi also saw this scene, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

On the other side, Kaito looked at Qingzi who looked at him resentfully, helplessly, and said helplessly: "Qingzi..." Just now Qingzi came up to him suddenly, and he almost subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but because the distance was too close, he couldn't Dodging completely, let Qingzi kiss his chin.

Qingzi, who had finally worked up his courage but failed, muttered dissatisfiedly, "Kai Dou is really stingy, he won't even give in to a kiss."

Complaining, but her face turned red a little, she pushed Kaito away, and ran away without looking back.

Xiaolan looked at Shinichi and Kaito hesitantly, gritted her teeth for the last time, and chased in Aoko's direction.

Kaito shook his head helplessly, he really had nothing to do with Qingzi, because he felt ashamed in his heart, so he would always tolerate Qingzi's willful behavior unconditionally.

Turning around and seeing Shinichi with an expressionless face, Kaito's heart sank, and he had his usual smile on his face, "Oh, Shinichi, what a coincidence, why are you here too?"

Xinyi pulled out a stiff smile, "Passing by."

"Ah, so." Kaito just asked casually, no matter what answer Shinichi gave, he didn't care too much.She nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll go to the library first, see you later."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. He didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear that his calm emotions just now would surge again, and he dared not walk too slowly, for fear that the people behind him would ask him about his situation just now.

"Kaito!" But unexpected things always happen, Shinichi suddenly stopped him.

Kaito stopped in response, calmed down slowly, and looked back at him, "What's wrong, what else is there?"

Xinyi's mind was full of thoughts, he knew he shouldn't call him, let alone ask, but if he didn't ask, he might not feel at ease for a long time——

"You and Qingzi, what happened just now?"

Kaito's heart trembled slightly, and he said vaguely, "That's what you saw."

As he saw... Shinichi took half a step back uncontrollably, and asked with difficulty: "Are you two together?"

Considering the strange and awkward relationship between the two of them, it is really inappropriate to ask this question, and Kaito is even more unable to answer it. He even regrets that he just said that specious thing, but what he said cannot be said. Take it back.

Finally, Kaito took a deep look at Shinichi, turned and left without saying a word.

Xinyi stood there in a daze, looked at his receding back, and smiled bitterly.

Obviously he said the refusal himself, and now he is the one who is questioning him, but what right does he have to control who Kaito likes and who he is with.

He remembered what Kaito had said to him in the hotel last winter when they went skiing together, saying that he was trying, trying to let go of his love for him.He couldn't believe it then, and he didn't want to believe it, but now he believes it.

He has let go, but he is still where he is.

For a moment he began to wonder, did this person really like him?If you really like it, how can you let go so easily.

He thought of Kuroda and Qingzi, and the smile on the corner of his mouth unknowingly carried a bit of self-mockery.Could it be that his liking wasn't a real liking from the very beginning.

Also, how can any boy really like another boy.

It was just his hypocrisy, but he took it seriously.

He stood there alone for a while, and said softly, "Congratulations."

That voice dissipated into the air, like his heart was broken.

He looked up at the sky, and suddenly laughed, with a hint of sadness and relief in that smile.

It's good for him to think so, so that he won't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.They all have their own destinations, and they are all on the right track.He was still happy, happy for Kaito, and happy for himself.

Happy……

He twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was not happy at all.

He lifted his foot and left here.

He didn't know where he was going. Today was Valentine's Day, and he was supposed to spend it with Xiaolan.He suddenly lost his mood and just wanted to be alone.

He walked out of the campus of Dongda University slowly, and walked aimlessly on the streets of Tokyo.

The street was filled with the atmosphere of love, but it couldn't move his heart at this moment.

He kept walking, I don't know how long and how far he walked.When he came back to his senses, he found that he had actually walked to the downstairs of the apartment where he used to live, the place where he and Kaito had countless memories.

He stood downstairs, took a deep look up, then left without stopping.

He has traveled to many places, and the disturbing memories come to his mind from time to time.He walked around all the places with their memories, the more beautiful the memories, the more painful the reality.But it doesn't matter, no matter how painful it is, it can only hurt this time,

Snowflakes suddenly fell.

His footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned around stiffly, looking at the video store on the side of the road.There was a song playing in the shop, the melody was not very familiar to him, but unexpectedly he remembered it very clearly——

【"Except for tearing each other's souls, there is no way to truly understand each other. It is more convincing than thousands of words, leaving a deep imprint, oh! The old enemy——"

"For the Phantom Thief, the detective is the fateful opponent and also the deadly audience."

"For a magician, the success of the magic depends on the reaction of the audience. For the strange thief, the important thing is not whether the treasure is obtained, but my audience, how bright your smile is."]

Enemy...

He and Kaito were destined to be entangled with each other from the very beginning.But wasn't it doomed from the beginning that the two of them would never be friends?

Not enemies, not lovers, nor friends.

His body trembled, and he leaned against the street lamp on one side, raising his head in pain.

He will let go, he said to hide everything.He was reluctant, but had to do it.

only……

Give him another day, after today, he won't have the slightest affection for that person again.

But today, he slowly closed his eyes, finally no longer suppressing his feelings.

Here, in the singing that belongs to them, he misses him wantonly and loves him, as if he wants to vent all the love in his life.

Snowflakes flew, landed on his face, and turned into water again.Tears that he couldn't cry fell down.

At the end of the song, he was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, but suddenly felt strange.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw Kaito with a complicated expression.

He glanced at the big umbrella in Kuai Dou's hand, chuckled lightly, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Kaito couldn't hear the expectation in his words, he clenched the handle of the umbrella, and said in a low voice: "Xiaolan can't find you, she is very worried about you, so please ask me to help you find you."

Shinichi smiled inexplicably, "So that's how it is."

He should have known this was the case.

"You..." Kaito hesitated and didn't know how to speak, he remembered the appearance of Shinichi when he saw him just now.

He stood still in the snow, his whole body was full of loneliness, as if he was out of tune with the whole world.

His eyes drooped slightly, hiding the worry in his eyes.There were some things he shouldn't have said, and if he said them, it would only add to the trouble.

He is no longer qualified, and has no position to ask——

Are you ok?

Fortunately, Shinichi didn't pay attention to his expression, he leaned back against the street lamp and stood up straight.It's just that he took half a step forward when the sole of his foot slipped and his whole body tilted.

"Bang-"

The sound of the umbrella falling to the ground sounded.

At the moment when Xinyi staggered, Kuai Dou quickly supported him.It's not necessarily "supporting". Judging from the current posture of the two of them, it looks more like "hugging".

Kaito maintained this movement a little stiffly, he called out cautiously: "Shinichi?"

Shinichi closed his eyes in his arms, and he counted silently in his heart——

one two Three……

It was a brief, three-second hug.

Three seconds later, he straightened up from Kaito's arms, and seemed to have returned to his previous appearance.

He looked at Kaito with the usual expression, "Let's go, let's go back."

Kaito didn't dare to ask why it happened just now, he nodded and bent down to pick up the umbrella that fell on the ground.

The two walked on the street holding an umbrella, but the umbrella was very big, and even if they were two boys, there was still a big gap between them.Like the insurmountable gap between them.

They left slowly, no one noticed that there was a girl standing there at the alley not far away.

Looking at their figures leaving side by side, Xiaolan slowly clenched her fists.
