I can't lose to my ex today

Chapter23

In the middle of the night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

After returning to the hotel, Gojo Satoru did not go back to the room to drive the three students who were going to play games all night back to their respective rooms to sleep, but went to the roof of the hotel alone, lying on the old tiled roof to blow the cold wind .

His hands were folded behind his head, and one leg was resting on the other. His blue eyes seemed to have been coated with a different kind of luster by the moonlight, but the expression in his eyes was a bit sad.

【So why did we break up in the first place...】

The question he subconsciously asked tonight, still failed to get her answer in the end.

And if you ask him this question... Yes, how did they come to the point of breaking up completely in the first place, and they were so determined to cut off the contact with each other for four full years.

When they met, he was 17 years old and she was 15 years old.

When they decided to break up, he was 25 years old and she was 23 years old.

It is no exaggeration to say that he and she have given each other the most innocent and passionate years of their lives.

He used to think that he and her would go on forever like that. Although there were constant quarrels and disputes in those years, they could always reconcile quickly. The longest cold war called "breakup" was only three months.Because he and she are both strong, although they are strong in different senses, but because of their strength, the "ordinary" in this world makes him and her feel boring, and each other is the rare and extremely interesting in this boring world, so No matter how much you break up, it won't take long before you can't help getting closer to the other party and being attracted by the other party.

However, no matter how interesting and attractive, feelings may not be consumed after all.After quarreling again and again, not giving in to each other again and again, breaking up and getting back together again and again, I still feel tired.

The trigger that led to the final breakup was actually just an argument about whether the small cake made by a dessert shop was good or not. Of course it was not a serious issue, but it became the last straw that overwhelmed the accumulated emotional exhaustion.

At the moment of the outbreak, he was completely controlled by negative emotions. He only felt tired and annoyed, and his mind was full of thoughts that it might be a relief to cut it off.

Curses are generated by the overflowing negative emotions of human beings, but at that moment, the origin of the extreme negative emotions is actually love.

That's why he said that love is the most twisted curse in the world.

During the four years of separation, life is still going on as usual, and life will not stop because of the loss of love. He still has a lot to do, and I believe she is the same.But every time a person relaxes and calms down, he always feels that something is missing, and he can't lie to himself about that feeling of emptiness.

And after calming down and looking back on those years with her, in fact, there was no such a vigorous love talk. Whether it was the happy time or the small quarrels, they were actually very ordinary, ordinary to silent They blended into each other's life bit by bit.Obviously, they are both bored with the "ordinary" in this world, but because they achieved those ordinary and ordinary memories together with each other, they also feel interesting and happy because of it.

To say that during that period of time, the rare event that could be called "vigorous" was probably the year when he was 20 years old and an adult, she designed to help him clean up the rotten oranges in the Gotiao family with the previous head as the core, so that He succeeded to the real head of the Wutiao family in a non-violent, forceful, overturned way, and he was no longer a "useful weapon" in the hands of those rotten oranges in the family.

The plan she set up was hidden even from him, and she even took the risk of using herself as bait to put herself in danger in order to achieve the plan.

Later, Uncle Fukuzawa told him that the last time Ranbu didn't take his own life seriously and used his life as a bait was when he was 14 years old.At that time, Ranpo just realized that he "possesses supernatural powers". For a while, he changed from the fear and inferiority that was not understood by the world to the arrogance and arrogance that wanted to show his strength, and wanted to use "super reasoning" to endow himself with a powerful mind. To challenge all enemies, so that in one case, in order to lure the enemy to go deep, he rashly used his own life as a weight to compete with the enemy, walking a tightrope and taking risks but conceitedly believing that everything was under his control.In the end, he was woken up by Uncle Fukuzawa's slap, and finally stopped being so arrogant that he despised his own life to act, and he never did it again in the following years.

But that time for him, Ranpo broke the teachings from Uncle Fukuzawa that he had always followed.

And Uncle Fukuzawa also told him that when he was 14 years old, Luanpo acted so rashly because of "ignorance" and conceit, but this time, Luanpo chose to break the precept, and did it again, why... Should be clear.

Yes, it is clear, of course it is clear, how could he not be clear.

At the critical moment, he rushed to the scene to save Ranpo, full of anger that wanted to kill everything around him and the infinite fear of realizing that he was about to lose her completely.He hugged her tightly, not because he was reassuring her that she was fine, he would get rid of those rotten oranges, but more like he wanted to draw fresh warmth from her, and wanted to convince himself that she was still alive. Alive and alive, he didn't lose her.

[It came a minute later than I expected, Wu, I shouldn't have left you such a difficult code to decipher. 】

Seeing her say such words to him with a relaxed face, he was really furious. He completely understood Uncle Fukuzawa's anger back then, and wished he could hang up this little black cat who was fighting five scumbags and beat him up. She gave her a long lesson, but in the end... she couldn't do anything.

How could he be willing to do something to her.

What's more, she did all this for him.

【Wu You are cleaning those rotten oranges too slowly. There is no detective to help you. Those rotten oranges have been wiped out one crop after another. When will your goal be realized! 】

When she heard her say this confidently, he was almost angry and laughed at the same time.

And all he could do was hug her tightly and protect her tightly in his arms.

He swore secretly in his heart that he would definitely protect his girl.

The world's number one detective, Ranpo-sama, can make as much noise as he wants. With him, even if she pokes a hole in the sky, he will cover her with magic spells, and no one will try to touch her.

……

[You guys, dare to touch her and try to kill you... No kidding. 】

Back in the hotel room where he stayed, Edogawa Ranpo tucked himself into the quilt again, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

The memories of the time when I was with Gojo Satoru in the past kept surging in my mind, and finally the scene where he came to rescue her when he planned to clear the rotten oranges in Gojo's house that year was fixed.

Although cleaning the rotten orange elders of the previous generation of the Wujo family was something she would definitely help Wujo achieve, and it had long been on the plan list, but that time she did it directly without telling Wujo... In fact, it was also due to her impulsiveness.

20 years old is the age of adulthood in Japan, and coming-of-age ceremony is a very important thing, not to mention Gojo Satoru, who is the young master of the Gojo family and the next head of the family who is certain.

Not long after Gojo Wu's coming-of-age ceremony passed, the head of the Gojo family at that time approached her alone without telling Gojo Wu.

The purpose of finding her is very simple, to break up her and Gojo Satoru.

The old Patriarch didn't dare to talk to Gojo Wu directly about this matter, for fear of being insulted... in the physical sense.So I simply came to her to take care of her "soft persimmon that is easy to deal with".

[Miss Edogawa, during the two years you dated Wujo, the Gojo family didn't object because Wujo was still young after all, it's normal for young people to fall in love, and it's okay to have fun.But now, Satoru is 20 years old and an adult, and the love game should end here. 】

[I believe you also know that Wu's origin and his innate strength doom him not to be an ordinary person, and as an extraordinary person, he also shoulders responsibilities far beyond ordinary people, not only for Wutiao Family, but also the responsibility of the entire magic world. 】

[Wu is the future head of the Wutiao family, which also determines that Wu's wife, no matter in terms of background or ability, needs to match him and be able to be the wife of the Wutiao family.Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the most direct impact. Satoru needs to continue the bloodline of the next generation of the Wutiao family with an excellent partner. Although it is not realistic to have another talented person born with six eyes, at least he cannot give birth to another talent. mediocre offspring. 】

[As for you, Ms. Edogawa, you are obviously not suitable for this position, no matter in terms of background or ability.Although I have heard that you have a supernatural ability called 'super reasoning', but this kind of supernatural ability obviously does not play a role in the magic world. 】

【To put it simply, you are not worthy to stand beside Wu.The Wutiao family will not accept you. 】

【So, whether it’s for Wu’s future, or for yourself, don’t let yourself be bored, please take the initiative to leave Wu. 】

At that time, when she heard these words, she was naturally angry, super invincible angry.

But rather than being angry at being despised or even humiliated, at that moment, she was even more angry at... what did these people think of Wu.

It is clear that Wu and Wu are of the same blood, but in their eyes, Wu is just a useful tool, a sharp blade for them to achieve their goals, a puppet that should be controlled by them, and even a man for the sake of the so-called Wujo family. A tool person who needs to accept breeding for long-term development in the future.

Moreover, in the name of the "clan", Wu was kidnapped spiritually.

Can such a person really be called a family connected by blood?

The only blood relatives she has had are father and mother, although the time together is not long compared with the long life, only a short 14 years.But she was very happy in those 14 years, which also made her believe that the real family should not be like that.

[Grandpa, you haven't finished your sentence yet, did you forget something?Hmm... In TV dramas, generally speaking, in this kind of plot, the next step should be you throwing out a check for [-] million or [-] billion to make me leave my enlightenment!Why don't you dump the check for me? Did you forget to bring your check book? Why don't you come back next time? 】

I remember at that time, when she said this with such an innocent face, the old man's face... It was super interesting to say, haha!

In the next second, the man suppressed his anger and continued to put on that air.

[There is no problem in providing a certain amount of financial compensation to Ms. Edogawa. Since Ms. Edogawa is such a 'reasonable and smart person', then everything is simple... Make a price, and you are willing to leave the enlightenment ? 】

After thinking for a while pretending to be distressed——

【Well, okay, I've decided, the price I'm asking is... priceless!No matter how much you bid, I will never leave Gojo Satoru. 】

Her sudden reversal obviously made the old head of the Wutiao family startled and angry, and made the old head feel that he was being played for fun, but... ha~ so what~ she doesn't care!

[Only a fool will agree~ You throw me a check, and I can only buy a few rough pastry processing factories and bozi soda factories. The fixed amount of money will be spent sooner or later.But if I have Wujo Satoru, I will have a steady stream of banknotes that are continuously renewed, and I can keep buying crude pastry processing factories and bozi soda factories.Such a simple truth, even a fool can understand it! 】

After she finished speaking with a smile, she succeeded in driving the old man away.

It's a pity that I didn't get really angry and sent him away on the spot.

She doesn't care what stupid and pedantic people say about her, let alone take it seriously... But it's still really unpleasant!

Especially being underestimated by the Wutiao family made her extremely uncomfortable.

How can you make a person who despises you have to admit your ability and kneel down and look up to you?

It's very simple, just kill that person, then the other party has no reason not to admit it!

Haha, Lord Ranpo is really smart!

She has always been an activist, she can do whatever she thinks.

And the whole operation was carried out in an orderly manner according to her plan. Although it was a bit risky, but... well, those rotten oranges in the Gojo family will soon get away from Wujo's eyes permanently!

The only thing that wasn't in her plan was...

At the last moment, when Gojo Satoru came to rescue her, he stared at her "seriously"... It was exactly the same as the president when he slapped her back then.

She was so scared that she almost cried on the spot, and then buried herself in his arms begging for mercy.

[Wuwu, don't hit me, Wu Wu, beating someone must be super painful... Well, I was wrong. 】

In the end, his hand didn't turn into a slap and land on her, but hugged her tightly, very tightly.

That day, she didn't cry after all, but kept laughing instead.

However, at this moment, in the dead of night, wrapped in a quilt and remembering those things, it made her cry unknowingly.

Realizing that his eye sockets were wet, and tears were slipperyly flowing from the corners of his eyes, Edogawa sucked his nose suddenly... Stop, stop!I didn't want to cry!A famous detective is not so bad!

It's just Gojo Satoru!

"Miss Luanbu went out to find supper, how did you find it, did you fill your stomach?"

On the next bed on the tatami mat, Yosano Akiko who was sleeping sideways with her back facing her suddenly made a slow sound and asked in a teasing tone.

How could someone as smart as Edogawa Ranpo not understand the meaning of Yosano Akiko who didn't know when to wake up, or who had never really fallen asleep.

Immediately buried himself in the quilt, and replied angrily:

"So-so!"
