unsaved world

[Xiao Rin, don’t go back alone. It’s too late and the road is unsafe. It just so happens that Shinichi is also training. I told him that I’ll take you home after the training. Remember to wait for him. ]

That was the text message Mao Lilan sent to Xue Chuan Rin. However, Xue Chuan Rin's first thought after seeing it was that it was absurd. In her opinion, Kudo Shinichi would never wait for her to send her home.

Maybe this text message itself is already ridiculous enough, Yukikawa Rin didn't have the slightest idea that it might happen, and was about to leave school with Mori-senpai.

But at this moment, she felt how absurd the text message was, and how shocked she was when she saw the boy at the school gate.

It should have been close to seven o'clock at that time, and the summer sky was darker than usual, but it was still covered with a veil-like jet black. The boy in a sports jersey crossed his arms, with a backpack and water at his feet, and looked down slightly. The black hair on the forehead was a little messy, and the unshielded eyes wandered carelessly, as if thinking about something.

"That's Kudo-san, right?"

Not far away, Mori-senpai blurted out after seeing the boy's figure, and asked Yukikawa Rin beside him for confirmation.

"Right?"

"Ah uh, ah, yes."

Hesitant to speak slowly, Yukikawa Rin, who has excellent emotional management, was also a little startled. She looked at Kudo Shinichi with uncertain hesitation in her eyes.

Kudo Shinichi, who heard the movement, also raised his head at this moment, and he looked exactly in Yukikawa Rin's direction. The eyes that met her were still casual and tired, but he was a little surprised when he realized that it was her. However, after frowning slightly, he awkwardly avoided his sight.

"Hello, senior." He nodded slightly to greet Senior Senzhi.

"Hey, Kudo." Senzhi-senpai waved her hand, raised her foot and approached and asked, "Didn't you guys finish training early, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Kudo Shinichi twitched the corners of his mouth officially, and raised his eyebrows a little hesitantly. He deliberately turned his eyes away, and it was difficult for him to say that he was still waiting for Yukikawa Rin's move.

At this time, Yukikawa Rin thought that he should say something. After all, Kudo Shinichi probably listened to Mao Lilan and waited for him to go home together, but maybe the probability of this happening is too low , so low that even if she saw Kudo Shinichi in front of her eyes, she still didn't quite believe it.

And Kudo Shinichi stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of his neck after several times of entanglement, his eyes still looked elsewhere, and he said unnaturally:

"I'll wait for Xuechuan."

His voice was a bit dark, but there was also a clarity that could not be suppressed, every word hit Xue Chuan Lin's quiet heart.

Her eyes were shaking, and her fingers trembled involuntarily as if connected to her heart. These were not very special words, but Xue Chuan Rin almost panicked for a moment.

Senzhi-senpai, who didn't perceive the delicate atmosphere between the two, changed her face slightly, and asked Yukikawa Rin in a low voice:

"Isn't this guy Kudo close to Mao Lilan, and he wants to chase you anyway?"

Yukikawa Rin, who was pulled back by the senior sister's brain circuit again, was a little bit dumbfounded, she lowered her eyes and replied:

"Senior sister, that's not the case. Lan should be the one who told Kudou to wait for me. It doesn't matter whether he chases me or not."

"Ah, is that so?" Mori Zhi-senpai smiled awkwardly after hearing the explanation, then looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Then please send Rin home."

Kudo Shin turned his head to one side, still a little uncomfortable, hummed in a deep voice.

Even though it was a short threesome, under the guidance of Senzhi-senpai who was cheerful and talkative, the atmosphere of the three of them was relaxed for the time being, but after Senzhi-senpai separated from the two at the first intersection, the atmosphere between him and her became weird up.

On the not-so-wide road, the two stood at the side where the distance was the greatest, but they just walked their own way, and their eyes never fell on each other for a moment, as if they were always looking away.

Xue Chuanlin is not such a restrained and cold person, she has always been able to get acquainted with people and talk, but if the object of this matter is Kudo Shinichi, it is obviously much more difficult, after all, she was not long ago. After interrogation, this made the two people whose relationship was already awkward enough go to the freezing point at the extreme.

In such an embarrassing atmosphere, the two walked to the bus stop. He who was standing and she who was sitting still remained silent. The strange atmosphere between the two made outsiders notice.

"Did the young couple quarrel?"

When getting in the car, the driver glanced at Shinichi Kudo who got in the car first and left by inserting coins, and asked Rin Yukikawa who got in the car behind.

"No, no, we're not a couple." Yukikawa Rin looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was facing away from him, and explained to the driver with a dry smile.

After explaining, the driver continued to look at her with encouraging eyes, and comforted: "It's okay, come on, kid."

Although it explained the couple, was it still mistaken for an ambiguous relationship?

Xue Chuanlin, who was walking into the car, smiled helplessly, walked to the empty seat and sat down, there was still a long distance between the two of them.

In the end, until Yukikawa Rin was sent downstairs, Kudo Shinichi had no other communication other than "Where to go" and "Go faster".

"Will Kudo-san come into my house?" Yukikawa Rin said, looking at Kudo Shinichi logically.

"No need." Kudo Shinichi refused very quickly, then glanced at her briefly, and said in his usual calm tone, "Since you're here, go back quickly."

"Thank you Kudo-san for sending me back today." Yukikawa Rin bowed and thanked, then turned and went upstairs.

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing behind, did not leave immediately, but turned and left after watching Yukikawa Rin go upstairs and enter the house.

He just didn't want to be nagged by his childhood sweetheart the next day, so he kindly sent her home, and there was no other reason. Kudo Shin, who turned around, repeated it to himself over and over again in his heart as he walked, but after walking a few After taking a step, under the eyebrows and eyes covered by the black forehead hair, there always seems to be a little bit of annoyance hidden in the back-moving eyes.

Even though there are tens of thousands of self-hypnotic words and repeated tens of thousands of times, the shrewd detective boy knows very well in his heart that the decision to send her home is more just to hide other ambiguities. The vague feelings, the feelings that are hidden in bitterness and astringency, clearly annoying and annoying, can't be defined.

What kind of feelings does he have for Yukikawa Rin?

The inner clarity and confusion superimposed, Kudo Shinichi stopped, turned sideways and looked at the room where Yukikawa Rin lived again, and after performing this action, his eyes trembled in a daze.

In the corridor in front of Xue Chuanlin's house, a short-haired girl was looking at him, her eyes were clean, and the corner of her mouth smiled softly. At the moment when she touched it, he turned around as if avoiding it, quickened his pace of leaving, and even It was a bit embarrassing to escape.

He obviously didn't do anything, why is he running away, and what is he hiding?

He didn't know either.

the next day.

The wind and the sun are beautiful and everything is clear.

"Did Xinyi really send you to your door?"

In the classroom, after Mao Lilan confirmed with Kudo Shinichi, she asked Yukikawa Rin again for confirmation.

"Yes, thank you very much Kudo-san, and thank you Lan for worrying about me." Yukikawa Rin said with a smile and nodded.

Sure enough, it was an affirmative response, which made Mao Lilan more convinced of the fact that the relationship between the two had eased.

So, during the training time after school today, and during the rest time after Kudo Shinichi's training, Mao Lilan handed him a towel, first smiled at the muddy dirt on the boy's face, and then took advantage of the situation and asked:

"By the way, Shinichi, you seem to have a much better attitude towards Xiao Rin all of a sudden?"

Kudo Shinichi, who was wiping his face, sank his eyes, handed the towel to Mao Lilan, and said with disgust:

"It's not because you are too annoying. Don't ask me to see her off next time. It's annoying."

"What's the matter, it's not such a difficult thing." Mao Lilan took back the towel and said before catching up, "Anyway, Xinyi, you often go back late because of investigating cases, and you also know self-defense to protect the unarmed Xiao Lin is it not OK?"

Kudo Shinichi frowned, and was thinking about how to refute Mao Lilan's words, Mao Lilan said more actively, "Besides, you said you are a detective. A detective should prevent criminals and protect weak girls. I gave it once, and it doesn’t matter if I give it another week.”

Mao Lilan said solemnly, and did not give Kudo Shinichi a chance to refuse, then patted him on the shoulder, said that he would definitely treat him to dinner next time, and then turned and left.

The team members watching the excitement took the opportunity to come up and laughed:

"Oh, Kudou is fine. Yesterday he said he was not familiar with girls, but he said he was not familiar with girls after sending them home."

"That's right, you're in the same class, so it's reasonable. There are also childhood sweethearts who will match you up, you can do it."

"It's unbelievable, I didn't expect that you, Kudo, look serious, and you still can't escape the beauty pass."

After a while, several people surrounded Kudo Shinichi, and his impatient explanation was misinterpreted into various meanings, and he analyzed it logically.

"oops!"

A few people were joking hard, and someone suddenly cried out. Kudo Shinichi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Nomura Kanae, a second-year high school senior who was coming with Uchida Asami.

"You just said that Kudo and Rin were together?" He approached Kudo Shinichi a few steps quickly, his eyes were full of hostility, his whole face was gloomy, and even his voice changed his tone.

Kudo Shinichi leaned back in embarrassment, vaguely remembering that someone said that a certain senior in the football team had been in love with Yukikawa Rin for a long time. After the confession was rejected, he fell into a slump and rarely came to the football team again. He thought it was a rumor at the time, but now The reaction of the person in front of him should be that he was right.

"No, I have nothing to do with Xue Chuan." Kudo Shinichi, who reacted in 0.001 seconds and denied it, said.

Nomura Kou first questioned it, raised an eyebrow, and quickly waved his hand in agreement and said, "That's right, it's not the one that Rin likes at first glance."

Although it was true that the hostility of the senior was resolved, Kudo Shinichi still frowned involuntarily, feeling somewhat unwilling.

What does it mean that it is not the one that Rin likes at first glance?

Which one she likes, how does he know, and how can he be sure?

Also, who cares about Yukikawa Rin's liking?

Kudo's new half-moon-eyed expression was unhappy.
