Untitled Conan II

Fired several shots.

Behind the chair, a white top hat and an umbrella fell off.

Hush

Silent to Ambi and me, my brother hid by the window where we were.He looked at me with a smirk, full of embarrassment.

Glancing at him indifferently, I turned my head away.

Someone grabbed my wrist suddenly, I lowered my head, and saw my brother holding my hand, the expression on his face changed from a smirk just now to a rare seriousness.

I looked at him coldly, stubbornly unwilling to let go of what I was holding.

Ann covered her mouth with her hand and watched the interaction between the two of us suspiciously.

Then I saw that he seemed to sigh softly, then looked around, and suddenly exerted force on his hand, and pulled me down.

Originally standing by the window, I was suddenly pulled by him, and I fell down unsteadily, and then I was hugged by him.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, it's okay." He patted my back and whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid, brother will always be with you and won't leave. Don't worry—"

"...Brother..." Hearing this, I finally let go of the pistol I was unconsciously holding in my hand before, and hugged him back, "You can't lie——"

...I'm really scared, first Ling Che, then Hong Shu, I really don't want to see anyone else get into trouble——

Xiaoyou's birthday ([-])

As soon as I moved back to the house next to the Mori Detective Agency, I received a birthday party invitation from Atobe.

October 10th is Atobe's birthday, and the Atobe family will hold a large banquet for it.

The invitation in my hand is October 10th - a private birthday party.

But—October 10th is Xiaoyou's birthday.I'm afraid, this party was actually organized by Atobe for her, right?Thinking about how the Ice Emperor and the others have protected her all this time, it is indeed very possible.

On the second day, I went to Atobe's private villa with the former candidates of the Seigaku Tennis Club, and not long after we arrived, the Rikkai University Tennis Club also arrived.

It is reasonable to say that it is reasonable to invite Lihai people to the birthday party of Atobe, but after being convinced that this is a birthday party for Xiaoyou, I always feel that such an arrangement has some ulterior motives.

Because it was a private party, and the participants were all acquaintances, everyone didn't wear formal clothes, but some casual casual clothes, but even so, this large group of handsome guys still looked good.

"Xiaoyou."

I was smiling and sitting alone in the corner with juice, watching Wentai and Cilang grabbing cakes, when I suddenly heard someone calling me.

"Huh? Brother Jingshi!" With a smile on my face, I watched the purple-haired boy come over and sit down beside me with a smile on his face.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" He looked at me.

"Huh?" I blinked and smiled, "It's nothing, I just want to be quiet all of a sudden."

He looked at me thoughtfully, "Didn't sleep well recently? His complexion is very bad."

"Ah?" I touched my cheek subconsciously, I tugged at the corners of my mouth, and smiled dryly, "Hmm... a little insomnia." Then, I changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Jingshi, how about you? Did you go to the hospital for a reexamination? ?How is it going?"

Something seemed to flash in his eyes, and before I could see clearly, he had already bent his eyes and covered them with a smile, with a gentle voice, "The doctor said that he is recovering well."

"Really? That's good!" He happily raised his cup and took the initiative to touch the glass in Yukimura's hand, and gave a soft and crisp "boom", which made Yukimura laugh. At first glance, it seemed that he was in the background All the flowers in full bloom generally make people dizzy.

Gathering my mind, I withdrew my thoughts, but subconsciously covered my mouth and yawned.

"Sleepy?" Yukimura looked at me.

Rubbing my eyes, I shook my head, "It's okay..."

In fact, I haven't slept well in quite some time.I was always awakened by nightmares. In the dream, there were my brother, Shinichi, Fuji and many people around me. Several gunshots on the flat ground, at a glance, completely became the bloody background.

I can feel that my mood is very unstable recently, but no matter whether I play the piano, draw pictures, read books, practice acupuncture or do other things, my impetuous mood can't calm down, but instead becomes louder and louder.

What is going on here, I really have no idea.

"Is your illness completely cured?" After being silent for a while, Yukimura suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" I froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, "It's ready."

"That's it." He smiled slightly, and then imitated what I did just now, touching my cup with his cup, "That's good."

Although it was still a smile, but this time, in his smile, I couldn't see the pure ease and joy before, but something very heavy.

"Ah Xiaoyou, so you're here?!" Kikumaru's sudden cry startled me. Before I could react, the excited big cat rushed to me, grabbed my hand and then moved towards it. They rushed over there, "Xiaoyou, hurry up and save your life, he is going to sprinkle mustard powder in our Qingxue's cake~!"

……

Fuji's dangerous action was dangerously prevented, and at this time, the two protagonists who hadn't shown up finally appeared.

Atobe was dressed in white, Xiaoyou was still dressed in purple, and when the two stood together, the atmosphere was indescribably harmonious.

Turning his eyes, he landed on the side of the two, and on the other side of Xiaoyou, stood Ninzu Yushi, with a graceful posture.

After the three of them came down from upstairs, the living room downstairs became lively. Xiang Ri and Ci Lang rushed over first, even leaving the half-eaten cake behind.

"Xiaoyou Xiaoyou, happy birthday!" Cilang raised his face, with a pure and sunny smile on his face.

"Happy birthday!" Xiang Ri was preempted by Ci Lang, unwillingly glared at the unaware guy beside him, then turned around and said very seriously.

Immediately afterwards, Feng, Anato, Hiyoshi and even Huadi all stepped forward to say their blessings.

I don't know if it's my delusion, although the same face is cold, but facing a group of companions who sincerely send blessings, Xiaoyou is a little nervous - even a little cramped, or at a loss?

It seems that this is the first time I have experienced such a scene...

"Xiaoyou," I walked forward, and I gave my gift, "Happy birthday."

"...Thank you." Her eyes fell on the small purple box I gave her, and she replied softly.

"Hehe, you're welcome." Putting my hands behind my back with a smile, I looked at her, "I'm still waiting for next year's birthday present~"

She looked at me, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she held the corner of her mouth very slightly, "Yeah."

Afterwards, everyone gave presents, but because most of the people in Aigaku and Lihai University originally thought it was Atobe's birthday party, the gifts they prepared were not specially for girls.Similar to rackets, toothpaste, sushi, PSP, etc., Xiaoyou didn't mind, and thanked them one by one.

"Wow~ so cute!" Seeing the handmade puppet that King Ni brought out, I couldn't help leaning over it, staring at the puppet with long ears and a three-petal mouth but a long tail with a ball of pompon little doll.

Holding the puppet in his hand, Xiaoyou looked at me, then at it, and then asked hesitantly, "...do you like it?"

"Yeah, I like this kind of doll the most!" Without thinking too much, I nodded and admitted subconsciously.

Then, I saw that puppet suddenly running in front of my eyes, staring at me with a pair of eyes made of buttons.

I raised my head in a daze, and saw the girl whose appearance was very similar to mine, with little lights in her eyes. Seeing my expression, she sent the puppet in my hand again, "Here you are."

"...Give it to me?" I was taken aback and asked back.

At the same time, I noticed that when Xiaoyou said what he said just now, the surroundings were quiet, and the originally lively scene seemed to be paused for an instant, especially Bingdi, Xiangri, Feng, and the others all showed disbelief. expression.

Looking at the expressions of other people, I turned my gaze back to Xiaoyou.

Looking into her eyes, I could feel the nervousness and uneasiness she concealed so well.

Is it... is it the first time she has offered to give something away?

The hand that was already outstretched paused for a moment, then retracted.I saw that her originally slightly bright eyes dimmed instantly.

"No way~" I shook my finger, and I tilted my head to look at her, "Today is Xiaoyou's birthday, this is a gift from Nioh-kun to Xiaoyou, I can't take it~"

"However..." I looked at the puppet with some reluctance, stuck out my tongue, and said with a smile, "If Xiaoyou is willing to give it to me, wait until my birthday next year before giving it to me!"

She opened her eyes slightly and stared at me blankly.

"Then it's settled~" I continued with a smile, "June 6 next year, don't forget~"

She still stared at me blankly for a long time, then blinked her eyes, hugged the puppet tightly in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

I can feel that the gazes of Atobe and Ninzuzu seem to fall on me, with scrutiny and deep research.

pat-

Atobe snapped his fingers, and then all the lights in the living room were dimmed.As the living room door slowly opened, a maid walked in pushing a big cake.

In the dark space, the twelve dancing candles on the cake looked extremely warm and beautiful.

"Happy birthday to you..." Cilang was the first to sing while clapping his hands. His innocent and lovely face was illuminated by the candlelight, making people feel warm in their hearts just by looking at it
