Nakajima can't remember,? How long has it been since he was treated so gently and peacefully.As long as he can remember, he has lived in the orphanage. At that time, the dean and teachers of the orphanage treated him no differently from other children.But I don't know when, he was separated from other children by the principal and teacher, and locked alone in the cold and dark basement.

The attitude of the dean and the teachers towards him has also undergone earth-shaking changes, especially the dean, who treats him very harshly.He didn't know what he did wrong, so he could only fear the dean,? and resent him at the same time.

He was locked in the dungeon. He didn't know when he would be able to get out. He couldn't eat or sleep well every day, and he had nightmares almost every night.

But last night,? He had a long-lost dream. In the dream, a gentle voice said "good night" to him. It was this "good night" that made him sleep soundly.

After waking up this morning, the dean somehow released him from the dungeon, and brought him to the office.The dean didn't say what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask, he was just full of panic and worry, for fear that he would be kicked out of the orphanage.After all, he didn't know where to go after leaving here.

Now the dean told him, "Miss Kannazuki came to adopt him, and he was so frightened that he couldn't believe it.But after Miss Kannazuki spoke to him, he was surprised to find that her voice was exactly the same as the voice that said "good night" to him last night.

All this happened so dreamily that Nakajima even thought that it was an illusion that deceived him in his mind.He swallowed his saliva, and called Cang Hua cautiously: "Miss Kannazuki...?"

"Well, yes, Kannazuki is my surname," Aoka smiled at Nakajima, "Of course, it is my wish to adopt you, and I haven't asked for your opinion yet. If you are willing to come with me, Now we can go through the adoption process. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I-meaning, can I leave here?" Nakajima asked blankly.After asking, he was afraid that if he asked too many questions, it would make Cang Hua impatient.

But she didn't, she just nodded and answered his question: "Yes, I will take you back and live with me and my family."

Nakajima hesitated and couldn't make a decision.

Admittedly, his life in the orphanage was miserable, but it was a place where he could take himself in.If he followed Cang Hua and left the orphanage to live with her, he could leave this hell-like place, but he didn't know what was waiting for him.

Hesitating, he raised his head and looked at the dean.

The dean had no intention of keeping him, and his voice sounded cruel when he spoke: "Go, Dun, it's for your own good too."

Nakajima's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and mumbled, "Yes, I understand." He understood that this orphanage could no longer accommodate him.He raised his head to look at Cang Hua again, "Thank you for adopting me, Miss Kannazuki, I will go back with you."

"Then I'll go through the adoption procedures with the dean," Cang Hua said, glanced at the time again, and said to Nakajima with a smile, "If all goes well, we can go have lunch together."

Nakajima didn't speak, just lowered his head, seemingly immersed in his own world.Cang Hua didn't say anything, but went to go through the formalities with the dean.

***

After completing the formalities, Canghua took Nakajima out of the orphanage.

Seeing Nakajima looking back three times a step at a time, Cang Hua asked, "Are you reluctant to leave the orphanage?"

"No," Nakajima replied softly, "It's just that I've stayed here as long as I can remember, and I'm not used to leaving suddenly..."

"Tun, can you call me that?" Seeing Nakajima nod, Canghua continued, "The place where a person stays the longest may not necessarily be the best place for him. About the orphanage, what good things can you think of? Remember?"

Nakajima tried hard to think back for a long time, but the good memories about the orphanage in his mind were so barren and frighteningly barren, he couldn’t remember them anyway, so he shook his head and replied: “No.”

"That's it," Cang Hua said with a smile, "This shows that the orphanage is not a place to accept you, nor is it a place suitable for you. You should find a place that can accept you and make you feel comfortable. "She reached out to touch Nakajima's head, but he avoided it.

Seeing Nakajima's timid eyes, Canghua thought it was because he was afraid of strangers, but the little boy said embarrassedly: "I'm very sorry, but I...haven't bathed for a long time, I'm afraid that I'll dirty Kanna Miss Yue's hand..."

The child said... the same as Akutagawa two years ago.Canghua looked at him, and couldn't help but think of the scene when she met the Akutagawa brothers and sisters.She smiled and said, "Well, how about I take you home first? I'll take you to identify the door of the house, then take a shower and change clothes, and then take you to lunch."

Why did happiness come so suddenly?

Nakajima thought in a daze, then stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek and pulled it aside fiercely, the pain caused him to yell "Aww" on the spot: "It hurts, it hurts——"

Cang Hua quickly grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

"I was trying to make sure I was dreaming because it was so unreal," Nakajima said honestly, "It turned out to be too hard..."

Canghua looked at the small piece of Nakajima's face that turned red quickly, sighed helplessly, and then took his wrist: "Let's go, come home with me."

Go home... These two words sound so warm.

Because these two words were repeatedly recalled in his mind, Nakajima didn't even bother to think about the fact that Canghua was holding him.After recovering, Nakajima hurriedly said, "Well, Ms. Kannazuki—"

"I haven't told you yet, my name is Kannazuki Canghua," Canghua said, "You can call me Canghua, and I will be your family from now on, so you don't have to be so rude."

Nakajima scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "Then, Miss Canghua?"

How could he be exactly the same as Akutagawa in the entanglement of titles?

Cang Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she nodded anyway: "Well, it's fine to call it that way. What's wrong?"

Nakajima hesitated and said: "Actually, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that someone said 'good night' to me very gently. The voice was just like that of Miss Cang Hua..."

"Do you have no memory of what happened last night?" Cang Hua stopped walking and looked at Nakajima with an unclear expression.

Nakajima was full of doubts: "What happened last night?"

"It seems that you really have no memory," Cang Hua sighed, "It's nothing. Speaking of which, I came to the orphanage yesterday to deliver bread, and you were still staring at me from the small window, don't you remember that? "

Nakajima scratched his head again: "Well, actually, I was very hungry and wanted to eat bread, but I didn't even notice you..." As if to confirm what he said, his stomach growled cooperatively at this time up.

Cang Hua choked speechlessly.How hungry is this child? It's too pitiful.

"Do you have anything you like to eat? Let's eat together later." Cang Hua asked.

"Is everything okay?" Nakajima's eyes were full of hope.

Cang Hua nodded: "Well, anything is fine."

"Then I want to eat..."

"what?"

"Ochazuke!"

"..."

This kid is too ungrateful!

***

After lunch, the clerk of the Armed Detective Agency was helping everyone make tea. Seeing Akutagawa's absent-minded look, she asked with concern: "What's the matter, Akutagawa? You look very listless."

Because he is the youngest, Akutagawa is also the most concerned by everyone in the armed detective agency.Hearing what the clerk lady said, the others all came together.

Ranpo was still holding the after-dinner snacks in his hand, and after staring at Akutagawa for a while, he said, "Is it sleepy after eating?" He yawned and rubbed his eyes, "I'm sleepy too .”

"No." Akutagawa answered simply.

"Well——" Yosano also stared at Akutagawa for a while, and suddenly found that his right eye had been twitching, so he said, "Then you didn't sleep well last night? The right eye was twitching, um... carefully Look, you still have dark circles under your eyes. What's wrong? Insomnia?"

"That's not true," Akutagawa replied honestly, "It's just that Miss Canghua went out very late last night, and I waited for her to come back, so I slept late."

"Oh? Cang Hua went out very late last night?"

Smelling gossip, a group of people gathered around and began to ask Akutagawa.

"Cang Hua went out so late, did she go on a date with her secret lover?"

"She said she was going to pet a cat..."

"Pick the cat?"

Hearing this word, a group of people quickly looked around, and they were relieved after confirming that Fukuzawa Yukichi hadn't come back: "Fortunately, the president is not here, otherwise I would be envious after hearing it."

"It's suspicious to go out to play cats in the middle of the night," Yu Xie Ye put on a detective look and analyzed, "I don't think Canghua is a cat control like the president or Mr. Okuri, the possibility that she will go out in the middle of the night is basically Zero. This kind of excuse is even more suspicious.”

Kunikida nodded: "I think your analysis makes sense! Akutagawa, didn't you follow me to have a look?"

Akutagawa looked stubborn: "How could I do such a thing as stalking Miss Canghua?" Although he did have this idea.

"Well—then why would she go out? It's too unbelievable to go out and pet cats." Yu Xie Ye was full of doubts.

This time, even the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo did not make the correct reasoning at the first time.

Akutagawa felt that he should defend Cang Hua.He said seriously: "Miss Canghua said that she would pet a cat if she went out to pet a cat. She also said that she would adopt that cat today."

"Hmm..." Ranbu frowned, "It feels like things are not that simple."

At this moment, Fukuzawa Yukichi pushed open the door, and when he came back, he saw his members gathered together.He asked suspiciously, "What are you all doing around Akutagawa?"

"President!"

"President, are you back?"

"Did things go well?"

"Yes." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded, and then said to the clerk lady, "Prepare some refreshments, Canghua will come over later."

"Huh, Canghua is coming?" Everyone subconsciously looked at Akutagawa, only to find that he also looked bewildered.Yoshino asked puzzledly, "Don't you know she's coming?"

"I don't know." Akutagawa shook his head and answered Yosano's question honestly, and then asked Fukuzawa Yukichi, "President, what does Miss Aoka come to the detective agency for?"

"You will know when you come." Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at the time as he said, "She should be here soon."

The lady clerk jokingly said to Akutagawa, "Maybe she's here to condolence you, Akutagawa."

Akutagawa didn't think so, because after Fukuzawa Yukichi said that Aoka was coming, his right eyelid twitched even faster.He waited anxiously for about 10 minutes, and finally got Canghua.

But she didn't come alone, she came with her, and a little boy with white hair.He looked a little timid, and when he followed Canghua in, he followed her closely.

Then, Akutagawa found that the little boy was wearing his clothes.

The author has something to say: People who eat melons: How do you wear Akuta (pin) Chuan (ru) clothes?

Akutagawa: The stone is changed, the fist stone is changed!
