[Quick New] Choice

The sunny breeze blows over the branches, blowing green buds.The chill gradually subsided, leaving behind the warmth like spring.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Kaito put down the book in his hand, and said loudly, "Please come in."

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Kaito looked at the visitor with some surprise. He put the book on the low table beside him and asked, "Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Zhibao knocked the door lightly, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so I'll come and see you."

Kaito laughed and said, "Then I am really honored."

Zhibao was noncommittal to his words, she walked closer with the bouquet in her arms, and found that there was already a bouquet of flowers in the vase on the table, and asked, "Who gave it to you? Someone came to see you?"

"This..." Kaito looked at the fragrant lilies in the vase, and said with a smile, "Hatori and Kazuha came to visit me two days ago, and brought a bunch of flowers along the way."

Zhibao nodded knowingly, and she sat down on the chair beside her in a less polite manner, and asked, "How are you, how are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Kaito had a smile on his face all the time, the bandage that was originally wrapped around his head had been removed, and his rosy face could be seen at a glance, obviously recovering well, "Other minor problems are fine, just The broken legs are a little more serious, and it won't heal in a while. But it's okay, it's only half a month, take your time, and don't rush for a while."

Zhibao was relieved to see that he was fine, and she asked again: "Why are you alone today, and your parents aren't with you?"

Kaito spread his hands helplessly, "It's something, just tell me and the two of them went out to have fun. Anyway, I'm fine now, and they don't worry too much."

Really relieved... Shiho shook his head helplessly.

The two chatted a little more. It's not spring break yet, and everyone is still in class.Kaito suddenly asked for leave for more than half a month, which was not a big news in school.One is that his popularity is already quite high, and the other is that this incident has involved a criminal case, and everyone's attention to this is still quite high.If it wasn't for not knowing exactly where Kaito was hospitalized, his ward would have been overrun by visitors.

After talking about a few interesting things in school, Zhibao paused. She seemed to have hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to speak, but finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Kudou, has he visited you?"

"Of course there is." Suddenly hearing Shinichi's name Kaito didn't show any abnormality, he thought about it, and said: "He came to see me the day I just woke up, but he hasn't since, of course Or maybe I was just sleeping when he came."

He scratched his head embarrassingly, "I had a concussion a while ago and the sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm not in a good state of mind. I'm always sleeping. I might not even know he's here."

He didn't seem to care about the fact that Xinyi only saw him once in half a month, and he was still defending Xinyi: "Besides, we both had carbon monoxide poisoning at that time, and he seemed to be in the hospital for almost a week, so he can come and see him." It's not easy to see me."

Zhibao listened to him speak for Shinichi with complicated emotions, and suddenly sighed softly and asked, "Don't you feel sad?"

He suffered such a serious injury because of him, but he didn't even visit him a few times.What's more, he still likes him. When a person is injured, what he wants to see most should be the person he likes.But he has nothing.

Kaito understood what she meant, he paused for a moment, as if he was considering how to speak.Then he said, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel bad at all. But actually..."

He looked at Zhibao fixedly, "I'm really not that sad."

Doubt appeared on Shiho's face.

Kaito chuckled, "Actually, I also think it's a little strange, but the fact is like this. Probably because I have expected this result a long time ago."

"If there are too many disappointments, there will be no more hope. If there is no hope, how can we talk about disappointment?"

Because you are not disappointed, you will not be sad.But because I like it, I still feel a little sad.It's just that the little bit of sadness and love has become insignificant compared to it.

But most importantly...

"There's something I haven't told anyone." Kaito said seriously, "I'm leaving, Miyano."

Zhibao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Let's go? Where are you going?"

Kaito said, "Go to America."

Zhibao didn't expect this answer. She frowned and asked, "Have you thought about it? Do you need to discuss it with your parents?"

Kaito said: "I have already thought about it. I told my parents years ago, and they expressed their support for all my decisions. In fact..."

He paused, and said: "I have already submitted the application for exchange students to the department, and I have already obtained the approval documents before being hospitalized."

Zhibao didn't expect him to move so fast, she thought it was just an idea of ​​his, but it turned out that he had already prepared everything.

Zhibao was silent for a moment, then asked, "When are you going to leave?"

"Originally, I was going to start an official exchange in September, and I will go to inspect and adapt in about August. But..." He looked at his leg, which was immobilized with plaster, "I don't know when this leg will heal. The doctor said at least It will take three months, and if it is longer, it may take more than half a year."

He was a little worried, "It's already March now, if it is really delayed for half a year, I will either go to the United States with my injuries or I will have to postpone my trip."

He has a firm attitude and doesn't seem to have thought about changing his original plan because of a sudden injury.

Zhibao shook his head, "I thought you suddenly said that you wanted to go abroad because you were stimulated on the day of the accident."

Of course, after hearing Kaito say that he had discussed it with his family years ago, he also knew that this was impossible.

Sure enough, Kaito was slightly taken aback when he heard her words, and then he laughed, "How could it be, how can I be stimulated."

Zhibao stared at him for a moment, "Are you really not stimulated?"

Kaito's smile froze.

Zhibao said: "When the fire was burning, the first person Kudo chose to rescue was Xiaolan instead of you. Do you really have no grudges in your heart?"

The smile on Kaito's face gradually faded, he didn't seem to understand why Shiho asked such a question, but he still answered very seriously——

"If you ask me, my answer is—"

"No."

After being serious for a few seconds, his expression became helpless again, "To be honest, at that time, anyone would choose to rescue the girl first, it has nothing to do with whether he likes it or not. If the person who can't move that day is Shinichi, then I will also choose to rescue Xiaolan first."

Only if it's too late.Then he will definitely choose to live and die with Xin.

He remembered that day that man rushed into the fire scene regardless of the danger to his life.Even when he learned that there was no hope of escape, he didn't panic, but chose to go to hell with him.His eyes became softer.

Even if it's not that kind of feeling, at least he has it in his heart.

He looked up at Zhibao, "But you are right about one thing, I was really stimulated that day."

"It's just contrary to what you think. I didn't feel sad, but on that day, I suddenly looked away, and suddenly found that I could let go."

Zhibao was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "I don't understand. You have been talking about letting go for so long but you still haven't let go, and you said that you didn't give up because Kudo chose to save Xiaolan first, so why did you suddenly look away? gone?"

She waited expectantly for Kaito to give her an answer, but Kaito tilted his head and thought for a while, but said honestly: "To be honest, I don't really know the reason."

Shiho: "..."

If it wasn't for Kaito's serious attitude, she would almost think he was joking with her.

But the next second Kaito laughed helplessly, as if he really didn't know how to explain it.

He sighed softly, and said, "Who knows. Maybe it's because I walked around at a critical moment and suddenly looked away."

He leaned back slightly, resting his hands behind his head, looking at the white ceiling above his head, his voice was a little sad, but more relieved.

"I just think it's boring. Why should friends who are good friends go so far as to never get in touch with each other?"

"In the fire that day, I really thought I couldn't survive. Will people see revolving lanterns before they die? I don't know, but I did think of the things we had experienced together."

He closed his eyes and said softly: "Good, bad... I suddenly remembered them all at that time."

"I think how good we were before, unscrupulous, carefree... Xinyi really regarded me as his best brother, that's why he treats me well. I'm sorry for him, my feelings for him have changed He turned the originally good relationship into an embarrassing result for both of us today. But he still doesn't blame me and is willing to give up his life to save me."

"I just thought, so be it. He wants me to be his brother, so I will be his brother. He is such a good person, I shouldn't be unscrupulous based on his goodness."

Zhibao said, "But you still choose to leave."

Kaito chuckled, "Yeah, I'm human too, although I've decided to let go, but feelings are so easy to control. It's better to stay away and let time and space help me let go."

He looked at Zhibao, "But I'm not escaping. I've already thought about it. When I go there, I can learn magic while finishing my studies. There will be the most suitable atmosphere for me to improve my magic skills."

When talking about magic, his whole body glowed, "I want to be like my dad...no, a world-renowned magician who is even more powerful than my dad."

This is his dream, a dream that has never changed.

Zhibao stared blankly at his bright smile, and shook her head helplessly when she came back to her senses. She finally understood why Aoko said that Kaito was popular, and why Shinichi was tempted by him even though he already had a girlfriend.

Kaito often says that Shinichi is so perfect that his whole body glows, but he doesn't know that he himself is the same.

Shiho wouldn't be moved by such a Kaito, but he would also find it beautiful.

She smiled slightly, "It seems that you are right, you really let go."

Kaito smiled, calm and confident, "That's natural."

Zhibao said again: "But you are wrong about one thing."

Kaito was puzzled, "Huh?"

Zhibao smiled and said, "You are already a world-renowned magician."

The reputation of Kaitou Kidd is still fresh in people's memory after fading out for a few years.

Kaito understood what she meant, he waved his hand, and said: "That doesn't count. One day, I will let the name Kuroba Kaito resound throughout the world with dignity."

With a smile on the corner of Zhibao's mouth, she nodded slowly, "I will."

Being believed so firmly, Kaito couldn't help but smile.

He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could make a sound, he heard the confused voice of the nurse from outside the door——

"Sir, are you here to visit the patient in this room?"

Hearing this, the two people in the room were stunned.

Shiho and Kaito looked at each other, walked to the door and opened the door, and saw the person standing at the door.
