Untitled Conan II

There is a soft and warm feeling in the bottom of my heart, sweet, but with a sourness that makes people cry.

The hands trapped in front of him tried a little harder to put a little distance between me and him, but the seemingly slender man had a lot of strength, and I refused for a long time without success.

"... Shinichi," I finally gave up resisting, I lowered my arms, leaned on his chest docilely, and closed my eyes wearily, "I haven't forgotten what you said...but if I say it, I like it Another person, what should I do?"

It's not that I haven't thought about how to explain my panic just now, and it's not that I can't think of a lie, but I still chose to tell the truth.

I didn't want to lie to him, especially when he said something like a promise.

Only now do I realize how despicable I really am.

He thought he pretended not to notice, that he could accept the love of two such outstanding teenagers at the same time without pointing it out.Not daring to admit another throbbing that exists in the bottom of my heart, maintaining the illusion of peace on the surface.

And when the hidden emotions were exposed and the thin paper used to cover it was pierced, I was so at a loss.

I've always known about Ling Che's feelings.I can't deny my emotions either. The boy I met in my previous life's hometown may have had a different meaning to me from the very beginning.It's just too complicated and too silent, and we all tacitly keep a distance from each other.

More than friendship, not enough lovers.

I clearly know that I will not and cannot be with Ling Che.My current relationship with him is the best and most suitable.I believe he knows this too.

This delicate balance was disturbed in an instant, the night in Prague, the last dance, and the last tender and sad kiss... everything was messed up——

However, the instigator who disrupted all this turned around decisively and left, leaving only the look back full of hatred.

Then I found out that this was the first time I was left behind by him, the first time he turned and left before me.

The empty feeling in my heart, as if I had lost something, left me at a loss.

I love Shinichi, really really.It wasn't because of the admiration in the previous life, nor because of the first meeting at the age of five, but the longing for seven years afterward, and the gradually accumulated nostalgia during the two months in Japan.Wandering in the uncertainty of fate, and being bound in the so-called plot, with no past and no future in sight, I feel inferior, cowardly, but still yearn for it all the time.

Even though I know that I don't have much time, I still want to be with him. I know that the word perfection is too extravagant for me, but I still want to be willful once.I want to be with him, I want to be together forever, I don’t want to leave like this, I don’t want to die... In the 12 years in this world, for the first time, I have the obsession that I don’t want to give up my life.

... because of him, I want to live

I know exactly what I want, and I just want to be with Shinichi.It is also because of this that the entanglement with Ling Che makes me even more unable to forgive myself.

……

When I finished that sentence, I felt the body I was leaning on stiffen suddenly.The movement that was gently caressing the top of my head also stopped.It was as if someone had pressed the pause button suddenly, leaving only the dull air of silence.

"...Hey," with my eyes closed, I hooked the corners of my mouth, but I couldn't show a smile. I clenched the hand hanging by my side quietly, and I could only hear my own voice faintly, "I'm sorry... ..."

……

"...Is that person Ye Lingche?" After a while, he seemed to let out a long breath, and asked softly, but he never let go of his hand.

"...Yeah." Nodding slightly in his arms, I opened my eyes and looked up at him, "You know?"

"...idiot," he lowered his head to meet my gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, his azure eyes were still bright, but there was some emotion that I couldn't understand, "do you think I'm so dull?"

...Actually, I really thought so——

"You—" I stared at him blankly.

"So, what then?" He put away his smile, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead to mine, "After saying 'sorry' to me...?"

"..." I stared at him silently, I didn't know how to answer this question that I hadn't even thought about.

"Tell me," he said slowly, "what are you apologizing for?"

……for what?I looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.

"Apologize to me because you chose Ye Lingche and couldn't respond to me anymore?"

"No! No..." I shook my head vigorously.

"What's that for?" He stared at me, not letting me look away.

"Because, because..." Biting my lower lip, I slowly said my thoughts word by word, "Because if you like someone, you should be single-minded, I shouldn't be like this—"

Before I finished speaking, there were a few chuckles above my head, and the arm around my back was tightened, and I got closer to him.

"... Shinichi?" I asked suspiciously, and I felt the warm touch on my cheek in a daze.

"I'm very happy," he whispered into my ear, "because you have the self-consciousness to like me."

"...do you mind?" I asked puzzled, turning my head to the side.

"Do you mind, why don't you mind?!" He straightened up, raised one eyebrow, and showed a somewhat childish and awkward expression on his face, but then he was overshadowed by the arrogance that he had the chance to win, "I didn't choose before." Ming, I will still worry about what will happen when you find out, but now that I have no worries, I can tell you that I am confident that I, Kudo Shinichi, will be the only one left in your heart."

I was taken aback by his sudden announcement, but I didn't react immediately, and looked up at him stupidly.

"However," he changed his subject and looked at me with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Girl, can't you have more confidence in me?"

"...Well—" I responded lightly, and I felt a little guilty.

Indeed, I have always been entangled in my own feelings, and I simply take it for granted that I cannot understand how Shinichi will react.

It never occurred to me that the problem that had entangled me for so long would be solved so easily.

"Okay, don't run anymore, shall we?" He gave a low laugh, finally let go of me, and took my hand instead.

"Hiss—" I didn't feel any pain in my wrist until now, and I took a breath, thinking that the pulling before might have torn apart the wound that had just begun to heal.

"What's the matter?" He frowned and looked at me, then carefully took the hand he was holding and rolled up his sleeve.

As I guessed, the white gauze on the wrist has seen bright red, and through that color, one can almost imagine how hideous the scar on the wrist under the gauze is.

"...What's going on?!" His voice became condensed in an instant, and he even stared at me sternly.

Pursing my lips, I lowered my head and whispered, "It's just a scratch..."

"Would the scrape hurt here?"

"Really, it's a scratch...by a bullet..." I explained helplessly, but my voice became softer and weaker under his gaze.

"...Bullet?" He narrowed his eyes, his expression was serious and terrifying, "What's going on?"

Turning my gaze away, I was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "Ling Che, he betrayed."

He froze for a while, then frowned and said, "...but, why?"

Betrayal cannot be without reason.Because of interests, because of feelings, or because of other things.

So what about Ling Che, what was his reason?

"...Ling Che," I looked up at the young man opposite, with sad and helpless eyes, "he is from that organization."

"What did you say?!" His pupils shrank for a moment, and his face was full of shock.

"That organization has always wanted to catch me, but they didn't do anything because they were worried about getting to Dongbang." I slightly raised the corners of my lips, and I said slowly, "He is the chess piece buried in Dongbang by the organization, but he is different from the organization. What is..."

After a pause, I raised the corner of my mouth and smiled, "He wants to kill me."

------Dividing line------

On the way back to send me, I know why they suddenly appeared in London.It seems that a very wealthy British woman named "Diana" invited Mori Kogoro and Xiao Ran Conan to come to London together, including accommodation, air tickets and travel expenses.

Although he does not have a passport, London, the hometown of Sherlock Holmes, is indeed a huge temptation for this reasoning fanatic. Name transit.

"Then your current appearance means..." I turned my head to look at him, and I said speechlessly, "Have you already taken that second medicine?"

"Cough, isn't there no way?" He coughed dryly, looked at the sky and scratched his cheek.

"Speaking of...do you know Apollo?" After a moment of hesitation, I asked, "Apollo Glass."

"Ah? You mean the younger brother of the Grass Queen, that eight-year-old boy?" He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "You know him?"

"Well, they invited me to watch the game in London this time," I nodded, and I replied, "So the student of Holmes that Apollo mentioned is really you?"

It was no surprise that I received an affirmative answer. Now, regarding the bombing of the hospital and the many children in the police station mentioned by Xi Rui's father,
