[Quick New] Choice

Those words exploded in Kaidou's ears like thunder, and he stood there in a daze, not even knowing when Xiaolan left.Only that sentence kept echoing in his mind.

It wasn't until his legs ached from standing for a long time that his consciousness gradually returned.

It was also at this time that he realized that this was the reason why Xiaolan found out.

That's why Xiaolan's expression was so weird when he confessed his feelings and spoke for Shinichi.It turns out that she already knew, knew, Xinyi's...

He slumped down on his seat, his heart beating uncontrollably.

Shinichi's faces flashed before his eyes one by one—his stubborn and desperate expression in the hotel, his bewildered and lonely expression in the heavy snow, his firm and gentle expression in the sea of ​​fire...

Sea of ​​fire...

He didn't dare to recall what happened on the day of the fire since he woke up. It wasn't because the fire left a psychological shadow on him, but because he simply didn't want to recall Shinichi who was in the sea of ​​fire that day.

A Shinichi who is so decisive, a Shinichi who is willing to cry for him, a Shinichi who is willing to die with him...

After thinking too much, he was afraid that the resolution he finally made would be shaken again.

He is not completely ignorant of Xinyi's intentions, but he is not sure.After all, one of the great illusions in this world is that the person I like also likes me.

The only two times he mustered up the courage to ask, was interrupted by Shinichi once, and failed to ask once.

Later, he often thought that it might be the best not to get the result.He was actually afraid, afraid of hearing his answer, good or bad, he didn't dare to know.

It's just that he didn't expect that one day he would know Xinyi's heart in this way, from Xiaolan's mouth.

He arched his body slightly and covered his face with his hands, covering the grief on his face, but he couldn't hide the mourning in his heart.

Even if he knows that the person he loves has him in his heart, so what, they are destined not to be together in this life.

-

The conversation that day has been piercing Kaito's heart, if possible, he would even rather he never heard the last sentence.

It took him a long time to calm himself down, and then he was debating whether to tell Xinyi what he had said that day, and he wanted to make Xinyi mentally prepared.It's just that whenever he wants to say something, he always thinks of Xiaolan's request that day, so he can't say it.

What he didn't expect was that the accident happened before he made up his mind to tell Xinyi.

It was a Saturday at the end of the semester. He was resting at home, but suddenly received an email signed by "Mao Lilan".

With suspicion and apprehension, he quickly clicked on the email. After reading the email at a glance, he stood up abruptly. When he called again, he found that the owner of the phone had turned off the phone.

"Damn it!" Kaito cursed in a low voice, he changed the number and called again, this time the other party did not turn off the phone, but the other party did not answer until the call was automatically hung up.

He took two anxious steps on the spot, and finally picked up the car keys and rushed out of the house.

The car drove out amidst the roar, and Xiaolan's words on the mail seemed to be vividly remembered——

[Kuroba, when you read this letter, I should already be on the plane to America...]

An hour ago, Tokyo Narita Airport.

Xiaolan was sitting in the waiting room waiting to board the plane. An elegant and intellectual woman walked towards her. Xiaolan looked up and saw her with a smile on her face. She smiled and called, "Mom."

[It took me a long time to make this decision, it was not easy, and I wanted to give up several times, so I admire your choice.

I also thank you for everything you have confessed to me, so that I can understand the relationship between you more deeply, so that I can make such a decision without hesitation. 】

"Xiao Lan." Fei Yingli sat down beside her, and she gently stroked her hair, "Aren't you sure you won't meet and chat with Xinyi again?"

"No." Xiaolan shook her head, determination was written on her gentle face, "Mom, I've made up my mind."

[When I first learned the truth, I was shocked, painful, and couldn't believe it... Later I believed it, but I was still thinking to myself: Since Shinichi chose to stay by my side, he should love me more.

There is no such thing as first-come-first-served feelings. I don't blame him for falling in love with others. Since he chose me, I won't let go easily.At first, I really thought so.

It was only later that I discovered that we were not having a good time.I was lying to myself, and Shinichi was lying to himself too.Obviously they are all smart people, but they have to do stupid things...]

Fei Yingli stroked her daughter's hand, "Mom doesn't want you to be sad, and I don't want you to regret it in the future. Do you really want to do this clearly and not discuss it with Xinyi?"

"No mother." Xiaolan said: "I have to make my own decision on this matter. It doesn't matter if I feel sad now, if I continue to persist, it will be the greatest harm to all of us."

[I think I would go on, if I hadn't seen him fall into your arms in the snow, if I hadn't seen him rushing into the fire, if I hadn't seen him rescued from the flames The way you hug each other tightly, if I hadn't seen the scene of you two saying goodbye under the cherry blossom tree...

But there are no ifs in this world, I have seen them all.

I've seen how much he loves you and how sad he is...

So I can no longer lie to myself. 】

"Eri, Ran." Mori Kogoro came over from a short distance, and walked towards his wife and daughter, "The formalities are all done, let's get ready to board the plane."

Feiyingli pulled Xiaolan to stand up, Xiaolan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad."

[You can choose to let go for Xinyi, Xinyi can choose to go against his own will for me, and I can do the same. 】

Xiaolan walked towards the boarding gate together with the Maori couple. At the moment she passed, she turned around feelingly and looked at the waiting room where people were coming and going.The person she missed in her heart did not come.

Seeing this, Fei Yingli, who was standing behind her, asked, "Xiao Lan, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, then turned and left.

[If one of the three of us must leave, then that person should be me.

You are the ones who love each other, and I am grateful for everything you two have done to protect me, but I can't accept it so frankly.

I like Shinichi, and I also want him to stay by my side.But rather than letting him stay by my side, I hope he can live happily and happily...

He should always be smiling, that's what I like about Shinichi.

As long as he doesn't show that sad expression anymore, I can choose to leave. 】

Xiaolan followed Mori Kogoro to find her seat and watched him put the simple luggage on the luggage rack.

Then Uncle Mori gave way in the aisle and let her sit in the back, and Fei Yingli sat down next to her.

After Xiaolan sat down, she sat there for a moment, then took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

[You don't need to feel guilty or blame yourself, this is my own choice.

There is nothing wrong with liking this thing itself, you have done everything within your ability, and I should do the rest.

You don't have to worry about me either, I'll be fine there.Maybe I will also meet someone there who is gentle and kind and has many good qualities.

He loves me, not because of duty or obligation, but simply loves me.Just like you guys, genuinely love each other.

There is only so much fate between me and Shinichi, the rest is your fate. 】

The gentle voice of the stewardess sounded, reminding the passengers to turn off their mobile phones.Xiaolan has found the pre-edited email and clicked "Send".

When the words "sent successfully" appeared on the phone interface, she turned off the phone without hesitation.

As the plane took off, she looked at the shrinking Tokyo through the narrow window.This city that witnessed her birth and growth, and carried almost all her memories, is now leaving her.

Same with it, and the relationship she gave up.

Tears fell in an instant, and she whispered in her heart amidst the tears: "Goodbye, the person I love the most."

【Hei Yu, that is the most important person in my life, please treat him kindly. 】

The car didn't stop, and Kaito felt the new family with his fastest speed.

The door was not closed, the door was ajar, he pushed the door open and entered.The room was dark, not like daytime.

He walked in cautiously, calling Shinichi's name.

"Boom-"

It seemed that he had kicked something, Kaito froze, and with the thin light he saw what he had kicked - it was an empty wine bottle.

His heart relaxed slightly, and then tightened again.

Empty wine bottle?Empty wine bottles scattered randomly on the floor?this……

The worry was magnified to the extreme, and he walked towards the living room in the direction he remembered. When he saw the black figure curled up on the sofa, his heart tensed.

He strode over and pulled Shinichi up from the sofa.

Following his movement, another wine bottle rolled down.This time it was not empty, half a bottle of wine was spilled on the two of them, Kaito was really angry and distressed.

"What are you doing?!" In fact, seeing Xinyi's appearance, there was something he didn't understand. Xinyi must have known that Xiaolan had left, but he couldn't stand it because he was so decadent.

"If you don't want her to go, go and keep her! Go after her, go to the United States! What's the use of doing this, can she come back if you drink yourself to death!"

"What do you know!" Xinyi threw him away, but threw himself down because of too much movement. He fell down on the sofa, covered his face with his hands, and whispered: "What do you know...you don't know anything Know……"

"Yes, I don't know." Kaidou's heart ached unbearably, "I don't know how much love you have for her. If you really like her, it's really sad. Go after me! You were so decisive when you rejected me , why are you so cowardly when it comes to her!"

After he finished speaking, Shinichi actually curled himself up again, muttering: "Stop talking, stop talking..."

Kaito didn't want to see him like this, he forcefully pulled Shinichi up, half dragging and half hugging him to take him upstairs, "Go take a shower, wash me off the wine on you."

He took a deep breath, "Then you can do whatever you want. If you want to chase her, I will accompany you."

"No, I won't go." Shinichi wanted to struggle, but he had too much alcohol to drink, and Kaito easily subdued him and took him upstairs forcefully.

Kaidou has been to his house a few times, and he is quite familiar with it.He took him to the bathroom, put hot water in the bathtub, and then went to take off his clothes.

By this time, Shinichi had become strangely quiet.Kaito thought he was thinking about it, and while helping him take off his clothes, he softly comforted him: "It's okay, you have a good chat with her, you two have been in love for so many years, it may not be... um!"

Finally gone one!

Of course she will come back! !

The countdown to the finale can begin! ! !
