Gin and Red Fang are brothers

"What did you say?!" Sera Masumi grabbed Xiao Akai's shoulders violently, "You, you are!?"

"I'm Eli." Xiao Akai was still able to maintain a calm face.

"No, no, no——I mean, you said your father was——!?" Shiliang Zhenchun had a shocked face.

"It's Akai Shuichi."

There was a loud "creak, click" sound from behind, and Qing Chuanchen looked up, and there was a man with pink-brown hair standing at the door, the soda can in his hand had been deformed by force, making a fragile sound.

Qing Chuanchen: ...This gentleman has really strong hands.

When Conan saw Okiya Subaru, his brain went blank after being shocked by the huge amount of information just now, and somewhat sobered up: "Ah, Brother Subaru, you, you also come to the bathroom..." But his tongue was still tied, I can't figure it out.

"How is it possible!" Shiliang Zhenchun still had an unbelievable look on his face, "You, this, this..." Although they look very similar, how could Brother Xiu——

"..." Xiao Akai lowered his head, raised the back of his hand that had been smeared with diluted chili water, and wiped his eyes, tears gushed out after being stimulated.

"Ah, ah, don't cry——" Sera Masumi saw the tearful look of the boy who was very similar to her brother in front of her, and she suddenly felt a little at a loss. She glanced at Okiya Subaru at the door, "Hey, Mr. Subaru, you Do you have paper?"

Okiya Subaru (in extremely complicated and shocked mood but still had to pretend nothing happened and smiled): "...I brought it."

Conan: The smiling face is distorted!

"Well, don't cry, don't cry, speak slowly." Sera Masumi took the paper from Okiya Subaru, handed it to Xiao Akai, looked him up and down, "How old are you this year?"

"12 is old."

"12 years old—!" Sera Masumi pinched her fingers and counted, "You are 12 years old...that is to say..." Her face gradually darkened.

Brother Xiu had a child so early! ?Still keeping it a secret? ?Or just eat it and run away without knowing anything? ?

"Who is your mother?" Sera Masumi asked eagerly again.

Xiao Chijing's eyes had just recovered from the stimulation of the pepper water at this moment, and upon hearing this, he raised his hand to wipe it again, and the physiological tears flowed uncontrollably.

Qing Chuanchen: Grass... It hurts to see the chili water in your eyes.

Shuichi Akai, I respect you as a werewolf.

Forced to feel the truth!

"...I grew up with him..." Xiao Akai murmured in a low voice, and he pointed to Qing Chuanchen.

Needless to say anything, this can already give people a very sufficient space for brain supplementation.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sera Masumi was in a hurry again, "Tissues... Mr. Subaru, let's get some more tissues!"

(Smile mask jpg.) Okiya Subaru leaned over to hand the tissue.

Conan: Don't laugh - the smile mask... no, it's gone bad! !

When Sera turned his back, Okiya Subaru suddenly opened half of his eyes with a sharp scrutiny, and his dark green wolf eyes stared at Xiao Akai like a fierce beast.

Xiao Akai raised his red eyes (stimulated by the pepper water) and looked back, with tears still hanging on his face.

Okiya Subaru: "..." It felt like the stabbed knife had been inserted into the cotton.

Shiliang is pure and pure, and at this moment, his attitude towards his brother who died in the line of duty has become subtle again.There is a little bit more in the sadness, nostalgia and expectation... a sense of resentment and shock.

Whether it is ruthlessness or abandoning his wife and children (?), it is very infuriating-could Brother Xiu be this kind of person! ?Sera Masumi's expression suddenly became subtle.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

Qing Chuanchen: Shuichi Akai, who was murdered_(:з)∠)_

——I am so sorry! !

"Damn it...!" Sera Masumi clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "If he's still alive... he must..." She gritted her teeth hard, then looked at Xiao Akai and forced a smile, "Little friend, where do you live? "

If you have a chance, maybe you can go and have a look... Take your mother with you.

"..." Xiao Akai replied in a low voice, "It's far away."

"Although I'm sorry to bring up sad things, I'm still a little curious. How did you know your father?" Okiya Subaru asked with a smile, "No surname...why not take your mother's surname?"

"He is my father in name...my mother mentioned it before, so I still remember this man's name." Xiao Chijing said slowly, "I don't want to reveal my mother's affairs until I find him."

Qing Chuanchen: Good guy, the script of the sad and indignant version of "Little Tadpole Looking for Dad" is up!

"Oh, that's right." Okiya Subaru was still smiling, "You can tell us more, maybe one of us knows Mr. Akai and can help you."

Hearing this, Qing Chuanchen couldn't help but take another look at "Mr. Subaru".Although this person seems to be easy to get along with, but it seems that he is talking...?

There is no impression of him in the memory of the first week, and the winery organization and the winery primary school do not seem to have him... So who is this person?Oakai's friend or foe?

Sure enough, all squinting eyes are monsters.People can't see through.

……But that's okay.Qing Chuanchen comforted himself.As long as I don't meet Akai Shuichi himself in this world.

"That's right, Eli, you can tell us that my uncle is a detective, and he can definitely find it for you." Conan cooperated with his childish voice.

Qing Chuanchen told Xiao Akai before that it is enough to weep silently or keep smiling when things are unresolved. Anyway, they will make up their own minds.So Xiao Akai never answered this kind of cliché question, just smiled/wept, sighed silently, thinking it was wonderful (?

"Okay——" Shiliang Zhenchun stood in front of Xiao Akai very protectively, "You two, don't ask any more questions, little Eli also needs privacy, don't always bring up his... sad things."

Xiao Akai: "..." Thank you.The best of all, chili water.

"Ah, I'm sorry, because I really care about this child." Okiya Subaru bent down and looked at Xiao Akai, "Your home is far away...do you need me to send you and your friends back?"

Qing Chuanchen quietly flipped through the account of friends behind the crowd.Akai Hideichi's page remains unchanged—that is, everyone present is not the "important person" mentioned in the book.

"..." Too bad, is there another wave?

He looked up at the strange atmosphere of the scene.

Now with just these few people, the situation is already very complicated.

Okiya Subaru took out a handkerchief from his pocket: "Wipe it with the handkerchief." He moved closer, and seemed to miss the handkerchief when he handed it forward, and the corner of the handkerchief fell off his fingers.

Xiao Akai subconsciously caught it with his left hand, and Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Akai's wrist: "Did you put something spicy on your hand, Little Eli?" Eyes slightly opened, "... there is a little smell left."

——Can you smell the diluted chili water?This sense of smell is too sensitive.

Qing Chuanchen hurriedly stepped forward to make a rescue: "Well, Eli, you didn't wash your hands after eating spicy tofu at noon!"

Xiao Akai: "..." He paused, and then continued the conversation naturally, "Because I was on my way—so I came to the bathroom now, but I didn't have time to wash my hands."

"Then did you wash your hands before..."

"...Of course I washed it!"

"Hey? Little Eli likes spicy tofu? I can take you to eat next time." Shiliang Zhenchun's tone was rarely soft, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Shiliang Zhenchun." She showed a smile With a hearty smile, the little tiger teeth are playful and cute.

Okiya Subaru: "..." The mood is complicated.

"Huh...? It's actually being cleaned." Another familiar voice came from the door, and Qing Chuanchen's body froze.

The blond-haired black-skinned man stepped in, and his eyes naturally saw everyone present.

"Ah, it's Big Brother Amuro." Conan greeted first.

——Why do I keep encountering the Dajiang Valley recently!Can't get rid of it... Qing Chuanchen didn't want to turn around at all.No matter whether it is Touzi after his own timeline or not, it is very troublesome.

Worse—!The chaos has increased!

"Are you all waiting here? —Hey, that kid is...?"

"Ah, he, he is..." Shiliang Zhenchun gestured, hesitated and didn't know how to introduce it.

On the contrary, Xiao Akai replied generously: "Hi, I'm Eli."

"I-Lai?" Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Qing Chuanchen's back, "Oh, there is another kid here."

Qing Chuanchen couldn't pretend that he didn't hear anything when he heard the words, so he could only slowly turn his head and said with half-moon eyes, "Hello...I'm Edogawa Rice Cake."

At the moment when he saw Qingchuan, Toru Amuro's expression was slightly startled, and a few traces of confusion flashed in his purple-gray eyes.Then he slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "We meet again, kid."

"...Ha, haha." It turned out to be the familiar Jiang Gu again, and he didn't want to see each other again.

--Help!

"Does Brother Amuro know him?" Conan raised his head and asked.

Qing Chuanchen mentioned it in his heart, worried that what the other party said would cause them to reveal their secrets.

"Well, yes," Toru Amuro said in a casual tone, "I came to my coffee shop before, so it's kind of a chance meeting." He simply dismissed the topic without revealing anything more.

Toru Amuro took two steps forward and walked in front of Qing Chuan Chen, while untiing his tie: "Oh, yes, I remember last time you asked me how to tie a bow tie." He half squatted in front of Qing Chuan Chen, with his back to everyone , "In order not to disturb their conversation, let me whisper with you and demonstrate."

Qing Chuanchen: "?" Have I asked this before...?

He and the blond young man looked at each other, only to see Toru Amuro mouthing with a smile - dreaming again, huh?

Qing Chuanchen: "..."

Feng Shui turns.

Amuro raised his hand to hang the tie around his neck, and began to tie it handsomely and smoothly.

Qing Chuanchen: ...I'm so worried that the other party suddenly tightens up and strangles me to death.

The blond-haired young man seemed to be chatting about family affairs, without any inner emotion: "Isn't there no Akai in your class?"

"...Um, I just transferred here." It was clearly the truth but there was an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"Oh? That's really a coincidence." Amuro smiled, and he frowned, "I think——this off-stage drama is not much more exciting than the on-stage drama?"

Qing Chuanchen was taken aback.The other party got up after completing the last step of the bow tie, and did not exchange any more words.

how to say.Kiyokawa looked at the ceiling.Fortunately, the other party still doesn't seem to know his identity as a winery in the future (...otherwise it wouldn't be such a relatively peaceful attitude).

Now, Toru Amuro put his focus back on Xiao Akai's people.His gaze swept over——

Akai Shuichi's younger sister Sera Masumi, he suspects Akai Shuichi's disguised identity Okiya Subaru, and Akai who seems to be a boy from another world.

...it's an interesting situation.Amuro laughed softly.

The three of them were still communicating, and Toru Amuro walked over with a smile: "Ah, why are you crying, kid? Your eye circles are all red—well, this looks really good."

"?" No, not bad? ?

Qing Chuanchen: What? ?What the hell are you talking about!

"It's okay, cry when you encounter problems in the future, and the problems will be solved." Toru Amuro continued with a smile.

Xiao Akai: "??"

Qing Chuanchen: Is this irony or teaching bad things to the children——!

Xiao Akai could recognize the person in front of him as Furutani, but at the same time, he also heard Conan's address just now—"Mr. Amuro"—probably also a fake name.

But why use a pseudonym... Xiao Akai was thinking in his heart, and he saw Qing Chuanchen winking at him from behind.

Do you mean to try again?

Amuro bent over and smiled, looking like a big brother next door: "Kid Eli looks very familiar, maybe I have met your parents?"

"Hello," Xiao Akai raised his head slightly, "I'm Akai Shuichi——"

Amuro narrowed his eyes.

Okiya Subaru coughed twice.

"Children of—"

"Huh!?" Although he already knew that the other party would not admit his identity, such an answer... Toru Amuro was also stunned.

But he quickly came back to his senses, combined with the scene in front of him, he had a few guesses about the situation in front of him.

"Ah... indeed, it's an acquaintance." Toru Amuro raised the corners of his lips, "Then little Eli, why did you come here? Did you come to see your parents? Has he been away from home for a long time?"

"Ah, it's—actually, I haven't seen it."

"Oh? I haven't seen it. That would be even more irresponsible." Toru Amuro raised his hand and patted Xiao Akai's shoulder, "Leaving you and your mother to live alone, these years have been difficult."

Qing Chuanchen: "...?" He felt a trace of bad breath ahead of time.

Okiya Subaru: The sixth sense gave me a chill.

"When you think of your mother dragging her body to take care of you just after giving birth, your mother has to do all the heavy and tiring work at home, and she has to take you to and from school when the wind and rain blow, and you have to work hard and do housework on weekdays. When the family runs back and forth, I feel that it is really hard work.”

Qing Chuanchen: "!" Appeared!Add oil and vinegar and add fuel to the fire!

Shiliang Zhenchun became more and more apologetic the more she listened, she raised her arms and hugged Xiao Akai, but she couldn't say the words of apology - because she had been hiding her identity.

The anger in my heart towards brother Xiu has increased the punch power!

"Ah, uh..." Xiao Chijing paused, "Maybe he doesn't know."

"Oh? I don't know?" Toru Amuro smiled, with a rising tone, "I just wanted to say that he is a heartless guy who doesn't care about his family, but now he doesn't even know he has a child, which is even more exaggerated—although I said that It's not very polite, but Akai-san is really-not-something, and these behaviors are simply social-society-worms."

Qing Chuanchen: "..." The enunciation is clear and powerful, it is really a heartfelt speech!

Conan: "..." Seems to make sense, Mr. Akai really—?

He couldn't help but look up at Okiya Subaru.

Okiya Subaru (has a slight doubt about his own memory): "..." Could it be that he really had a child under some circumstances that he doesn't remember at all?

——After all, this guy is almost exactly the same as his youthful appearance!But logically speaking, it shouldn't be...!

Da Akai, stroking the timeline of his life, began to recall.

However, in the face of such a situation with no explanation, Okiya Subaru's first reaction is still the organization.

...but if it is an organization, what is the purpose?

The shock brought by the sudden appearance, the trouble caused by the information gap.Okiya Subaru's black-rimmed glasses reflected the light.Need to gather more information about this boy...

"You look very similar to your father, but I can see that you are a good boy." Toru Amuro raised the corner of his mouth and touched Xiao Akai's head, "I will definitely not become a person like your father. - kind of guy."

Qing Chuanchen: "..." Overtly and secretly, what enmity do you have with Da Chijing?

Could it be that he also snatched your tablemate Jing Guang in this world?That's too vengeful, do you remember this kind of thing in elementary school for a lifetime...!

Ah, Jiang Gu, so you are this kind of person!

(Another world-Xiao Jianggu: "Ah Choo!"

Xiao Jingguang from the same tent: "Huh? Has Zero caught a cold?"

Xiao Jianggu waved his hand: "Ah, it's okay, maybe someone is speaking ill of me behind my back.")

Qing Chuanchen, while establishing a new understanding of Fugu Ling, at the same time inserting wax for Ochii in his heart-fortunately Oakii himself was not at the scene, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood.

Okiya Subaru (Deteriorated Smile Mask jpg.): No, I'm there.

While flipping through the account of friends, Qing Chuanchen prayed in his heart that Amuro would feel better soon—otherwise, this chaotic situation would not end at all!

Toru Amuro (laughs): I'm sorry, but the more I talk about it, the more I talk about it.

Qing Chuanchen concentrated his eyes on the notebook, but...the page of the friend's account still did not change in any way.His heart sank slightly.From this point of view, there is still no [important person] present.

At this moment, Qing Chuanchen really realized what kind of troubles will be caused when the terms of the account of friends start to be blurred.

The hand holding the paper tightened, causing wrinkles to form in the corner of the friend's account.Qing Chuanchen began to think in his heart.

...couldn't it really be a piano bar?The person I saw for the first time when I came here.Qing Chuanchen twitched the corners of his mouth.

Leaving aside how to find this guy now, even if he can find it—he must be dealt with before he can say the words of the mission conditions!It's better not to go back to another world like this kind of mortal ending.

Qing Chuanchen complained.Anyway, now everyone except Toru Amuro is almost believing it, and it is completely feasible to pretend to be Akai's child in a fake show.

Akai Ko & Subaru Okiya: I feel a chill down my back.

"Huh? Why are you all here...?"

A clear female voice sounded suspiciously, and everyone turned their attention to the door.

"Sister Xiaolan—!" Conan looked a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Qing Chuanchen: Why are there more and more people...there is no way to fit in the small washbasin!

"Of course it's because you guys went to the bathroom, and you never came back." Xiaolan said with half-moon eyes, "Really, I thought something happened, so I hurried over to take a look."

Immediately after, she noticed Xiao Akai with red eyes: "Huh? Did the kid cry just now? Did he fall down?" She rummaged through her messenger bag, "Well, I seem to have brought a Band-Aid or something. ..."

"Ah, it's okay, Lan Jiang." Shiliang Zhenchun waved his hand, "Little Eli didn't fall down, but... mentioned something."

"Little Eli is looking for his father. His irresponsible and indifferent father has ruthlessly abandoned him and his mother." The refreshed Amuro replied, "It's really too much. If you can find his father, you must clean up. Come on."

Shiliang Zhenchun muttered to himself in a low voice, "If this is true and Brother Xiu is still alive, no matter what, he must be beaten up" or something like that.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

Qing Chuanchen: ...It's too miserable, too miserable, your friend accuses you of this mission, it's too persecuted——! !

Account of friends: "." It can also be improved to a higher level.

"Huh? How can there be such a father." Xiaolan frowned, "If you need someone, you can ask my father to help." She smiled slightly, "My father is a detective, maybe he can do something—you Who is the father?"

With the idea that maybe it would be over after a few more tries, Xiao Akai still read his lines dutifully: "Hello, I am Shuichi Akai's child, Eli."

"Well, okay." Xiao Lan nodded, and looked at Xiao Akai again, "Hmm...? It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Qing Chuanchen: Don't think about it anymore, enough people know about it... Otherwise, the reputation of Dachijing will really become more and more strange!

Let him go... If he crosses over again next time, how should he face this situation!

"Don't bother you, I can find it by myself." Xiao Akai shook his head, and finally decided to save himself a little trouble in this world (.

Okiya Subaru: "..."

Conan also stepped forward like a child: "Hey, let him find it by himself~ I think he doesn't want many people to know these stories--right, Eli-chan?" Sweet tone.

"...Ah, that's right." Xiao Akai nodded.

"Huh? Then..." Before Xiaolan finished speaking, Conan changed the subject.

"Sister Xiaolan~ We've been here for so long, is uncle going to be in a hurry? And the performance seems to be starting soon, let's go and see~" He shook Xiaolan's arm.

"Conan-kun, aren't you going to the toilet?"

"Actually, I don't really want to go... Mainly I came to wash my hands, I've already done it~" Conan took the lead to pull Xiaolan away from the scene.

The door to the toilet was opened at once, and the cleaning staff looked up and saw people in the washroom.

Cleaning staff:?

"Hey, there are so many people..." She quickly walked to the front and took back the sign of "Cleaning", "Okay, now both men and women are cleaned, you go."

Shiliang Zhenchun: "Hey, I won't go."

Okiya Subaru: "I'm here to take out the trash."

Qing Chuanchen: "I'm here to wash my hands."

Akai & Toru Amuro: "Me too."

The few of them looked at each other—so everyone waited here for so long, and no one wanted to go to the bathroom at all? !

Cleaning staff:? ?

Everyone: "..."

In the end, while the cleaning staff muttered in a low voice, "It's not good to chat anywhere, you have to be in front of the toilet door", while packing up their things and leaving in a hurry, leaving everyone facing each other——

After the conversation was interrupted, the atmosphere suddenly became a little bit awkward.But in line with the idea of ​​"As long as you are not embarrassed, others are the ones who are embarrassed", everyone maintained their usual expressions.

Qing Chuanchen once again took advantage of the gap to open the account of friends, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the task had been completed-the book said to let them go back to the alley when no one was paying attention.

So... [Important person] is the girl called "Lan"?Qing Chuanchen was taken aback.

The account of friends replied very thoughtfully, and the pencil words emerged: [Reaper's girlfriend, of course, is an important person. 】

Qing Chuanchen: "?" No, this is not understandable? ?

"Well, anyway," Sera Masumi took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket, quickly wrote down a series of numbers, tore them off, and handed them to Xiao Akai, "If you need anything, you can call me—I'm also a detective Oh." She smiled brightly.

"Okay." Even though he knew that he would never meet again, Xiao Akai still raised his hand to take it.

Shiliang looked at Xiao Akai, his eyes gradually softened: "If there is anything I need... I will always be there." She raised her hand and patted the other person's head.

The person in front of her was really similar to his Brother Xiu, looking at him reminded her of the past.Her brother had always been calm, never showing his vulnerability, taking on the weight, the danger of being alone in the unknown.

There is only a back figure that cannot catch up.

She once thought that if she had the opportunity, she would also like to help her brother share something.It's just that all of this happened after receiving the news that the other party had died in the line of duty——Shira Masumi paused for a while when she withdrew her hand.

...If they were reversed, she would be the older sister, and the other would be the younger brother, with the same age difference as now——Shiliang Zhenchun exhaled, stood up and smiled:

"Then, little Eli, let my sister protect you—"

Okiya Subaru was still holding the unthrown deformed can. At this moment, he squinted at the situation in front of him. On the surface, he still looked gentle and calm, but the fingers rubbing the can showed his inner fluctuations.

Toru Amuro has been paying attention to Okiya Subaru: "It's nice to have such a younger sister, isn't it?" chatting seemingly tentatively and casually.

"Well, that's right." Okiya Subaru retracted his thoughts again, and replied in the same tone, "I really envy Miss Shira's brother."

Toru Amuro: Haha.

The few of them finally planned to go back. Shiliang Zhenchun came to Qingchuan Chen again after talking with Xiao Akai. The Huya girl repeatedly told her to contact her if there was anything to do. Finally, she gently pulled Qingchuan Chen's cheek: "Next time we meet, Please eat delicious food."

Qing Chuanchen: "...Thank you sister."

——But I don’t want to meet again!I don’t even want to come if there’s something delicious to eat…!

Although the task has been successfully completed, Qing Chuanchen and Xiao Akai still sat in their seats and watched the performance.

When the curtain ended and exited, Sera Masumi leaned over and said, "I'll take you back later!"

Akai's younger sister is too enthusiastic, and it will not be easy to leave... Qing Chuanchen politely refused: "Ah, no need..." Before he finished speaking, the pink-brown-haired man opened his mouth.

"Why don't I come?" Okiya Subaru smiled like a good man, "I drive more steadily, suitable for children. I used to take Conan and his classmates often."

This guy who doesn't know whether he is a friend or an enemy of Dachijing is always saying something secretly, and he doesn't want to waste energy doing Tai Chi on the road at all... Qing Chuanchen politely refused: "Thank you but no..." Before he finished speaking, the blond youth also Open your mouth.

"I know the rice cake kid, so it's better for me to give it to you."

Qing Chuanchen: ...Can't you let me finish my rejection!

Amuro said with a smile: "So, rice cake-san? Who do you want to give you?"

Qing Chuanchen smiled on the surface, and reached out to grab the arm of the blue-haired boy beside him: "We want to go with this brother and sister."

Heizi who was suddenly grabbed: "?"

"Ah... Do you want to go back now? Then Momoi and I will send you back first." Although Kuroko Tetsuya was still expressionless, he said very caringly.

"Speaking of which, it looks familiar... Are you from the school next door?" Shiliang tilted her head, "I've been there once." She said the name of the school.

Momoi Wuyue smiled and waved her hands: "Zhe Jun and I don't belong to that school, it's just that we went there for the last basketball game."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Shiliang nodded, and then noticed Xiao Akai's eyes raised, "Huh? Is little Eli interested in basketball?"

Xiao Akai was slightly taken aback, then blinked: "A little bit. It feels very interesting."

Ching Chuan Chen: Huh?

"Haha, next time I have a chance, let Zhe Jun and the others take you to play golf." Momoi Wuyue leaned over and smiled.

"Well, okay." Xiao Akai also smiled, "...if we have a chance to meet again."

Qing Chuanchen (surprised jpg.): ——No, no, no!Do not insert the flag! !

He raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Chijing's arm: "Well, do you want to play basketball? The school's basketball club is very good...or our class committee can play with you!"

——No need to go to another world on purpose!real!

Qing Chuanchen prayed in his heart.I hope that the account of friends will not secretly write down these flags...

Friend account: "."

Qing Chuanchen followed Heizi and Momoi Wuyue to the bus stop not far from where they first met.He smiled and waved goodbye to the two, saying that they could just wait for the bus by themselves.

They seemed to be obediently standing beside the bus stop and waited until Kuroko and Momoi disappeared from their sight before taking small steps.

Ahead is the alley where he first came here. Qing Chuanchen took Xiao Chijing and trotted over, but suddenly there was an extra pair of leather shoes in front of him——Qing Chuanchen looked up.

A blond young man with a smile on his lips stood in front of them.

"Stop taking the bus, kids?" The shadow cast by the backlight made Qing Chuan somewhat unable to see the other party's expression clearly.

"!" Qing Chuanchen held Xiao Chijing's hand tightly, paused and said, "You just now..." He also smiled and said, "Are you following us, big brother?"

"Hmm." Toru Amuro didn't answer, he squatted down and raised his hand forward, with an unobvious dangerous aura lingering.

Qing Chuanchen took a step back vigilantly.

"Oh tie," Amuro pointed with a smile, "I'm here to get my tie back."

Why?It was only then that Qing Chuanchen realized that the other party's tie was still hanging around his neck.

I don't know if it's because of the hot and humid weather, Qing Chuanchen feels a little heavy breathing.He looked at the smiling face in front of him, but there was a cold touch on his back.

"...Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to return it to you." Qing Chuanchen untied his tie and handed it to him, but he still didn't relax in his heart.

On the contrary, it seemed that the other party really came to pick up the tie. He skillfully put it back on, raised his hand to straighten the collar, and his movements were chic and handsome.

Xiao Akai also raised his head to observe the blond man carefully. When the other party's purple-gray eyes looked at him, he spoke first: "Just now...although you expressed concern on the surface, you don't seem to like me very much."

He could feel the malice under the other's smile.

"Oh? Indeed." Toru Amuro admitted generously, "It can even be said that I hate...so much that I want to kill you."

"why?"

"Oh?"

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"..." The blond man chuckled, his voice a little magnetic, "I said, was it so straightforward when I was young? Break the casserole and ask the end."

"I want to know the truth." Xiao Akai stared at the other party with green eyes, and said in a flat and affirmative tone, "Please tell me."

"..." Toru Amuro leaned over, with fine golden bangs hanging down obliquely, "...Now it's your turn to say this."

There was a hint of puzzlement on Xiao Akai's face, and those green eyes with eyeliner were clear and bright.

Amuro stared at the other party for a few seconds, then straightened up: "In short..." he whispered, "It has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me, why do you still hate me?"

"..." Toru Amuro was slightly taken aback.

The streets in the afternoon are relatively empty, and the breeze carries the sunshine and the aroma of vegetables and fruits caressing people's cheeks, which is gentle and vital.

Ah... indeed.The kid in front of him is just a child from another world.

Amuro Toru slowly raised the corners of his lips after being slightly stunned: "...Hmph, this kind of persistent questioning is really more annoying than big ones."

"But overall, it's still much cuter than the big one." He raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Akai's head vigorously, messing up the other's slightly curly black hair, "A child should look like a child."

"Hmm...don't rub my head." Xiao Akai frowned and broke free from Toru Amuro's hands.

The other party laughed a few times, and then glanced at Xiao Akai again: "Okay... let's go." The rising tone was mixed with a bit of imperceptible relief.

"Go home before dark, kids." Toru Amuro pulled his tie and raised the corners of his lips, "Otherwise...you will meet bad guys."

——You were the one who looked the most like a villain at the scene just now... Qing Chuanchen twitched the corners of his mouth.The atmosphere created when you turn your back to the sun——

The other party raised his hand and tore off a page from the book in his pocket and handed it to Qing Chuanchen, which also had a string of numbers written on it.

"?" Qing Chuanchen blinked his eyes.

"Although I don't want to see you again, but..." Toru Amuro smiled slightly, "If you come again, you can also try to contact me."

"..." Actually, I don't want to see you again.

With half-moon eyes, Qing Chuanchen raised his hand to take the note.

"I can help, but at the same time, you have to be clear," the blond man slowed down, "—your safety is never my first consideration."

The westward sun gradually became orange-red, and the slanted rays of light rubbed against the shoulders of the blond man and hit the ground. The floor tiles were cut into dazzling bright colors and muddy dark colors.
