unsaved world

After that day, Yukikawa Rin and Kudo Shinichi returned to their previous relationship again, although they just changed from being in contact a few times to not being in contact a few times.

Mao Lilan was very puzzled, and asked Kudo Shinichi a few times, but all he got was a few replies from him impatiently saying, "I don't like her at all."

Even if he responded like this, Mao Liran, who knew Kudo Shinichi, knew in his heart that this was actually a little different from Shinichi's attitude towards Xiao Rin before. He was no longer as repulsive and annoying as before, and sometimes he was a little bit wronged when he answered. a feeling of.

But she didn't understand, he was the one who always rejected Xiao Lin's approach, so how could she feel wronged.

In that case, she should have felt that something was wrong.

But sometimes, Mao Lilan felt that Yukikawa Rin seemed to be a bit weirder than before, unlike the previous idle and indifferent attitude, several times began to deliberately avoid contact with Shinichi, which was not like Xiao Rin's approach at all. ah.

"Does Rin hate Shinichi?"

Looking at Yukikawa Rin who was training on the basketball court, Mao Lilan murmured.

"Maybe I just want to avoid it." Suzuki Sonoko crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yukikawa Rin and said, "Didn't I say it before, that guy Shinichi looks like Xiao Rin's friend, she might be Afraid of confusing feelings or something."

After a pause, Suzuki Sonoko looked nervously at Mao Lilan again and said, "Why do you still care about this, Lan? What about the time?"

The close childhood sweetheart relationship has long been tacitly assumed that they will be together naturally. Mao Lilan thought it was just a joke, waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a friend who grew up with Shinichi, if such a good little Rin can like that guy Shinichi, I'm too happy to be too late."

After a pause, she thought carefully again, "No, Xiao Lin can't like Xinyi, Xinyi is so ignorant of girls' hearts, and a reasoning maniac who is always busy investigating cases, will definitely hurt Xiao Lin. .”

"Oh, how can Lan be like you, push her husband to others!" Suzuki Sonoko said bitterly, "Don't you like Shinichi?"

Mao Lilan froze for a moment, then blinked, and answered frankly:

"I don't quite understand it. If you like this thing, you have to explore it slowly. I don't feel anything right now."

After a pause, Mao Lilan's eyes flickered, and suddenly remembered the scene of the previous trip to New York, and her heart trembled slightly, but at that time, it seemed that a strange feeling was born.

But that shouldn't be like it?

Like this kind of emotion, it is too complicated, it is not a single emotion, nor is it all emotions, it seems to be intertwined and separated, it is always unpredictable.

A few days later, the day of the three-school league also came. As a joint activity outside the three schools, it was held for two days on the weekend and also on the students' rest day, so there were not many people in the school.

First of all, it was Saturday, which coincided with the day when Yukikawa Rin was working part-time in the coffee shop. The football team and the women's basketball team played at the same time in the morning. As a newly added substitute, she should have very few opportunities to play. In fact, it doesn't matter if she doesn't make it to the scene , but she still asked the store manager for leave first, and waited on the school basketball court early in the morning after changing clothes.

The football game started an hour earlier than the basketball game, and Xue Chuanlin looked subconsciously at the cheers and cheers from the other side. The people there were surrounded by circles, and the women's basketball teams of the two schools were chatting. , As for other spectators, they should all gather in the football field.

It's not that no one chats with Xue Chuanlin, on the contrary, there will always be people who have heard of her from somewhere who don't know where to ask questions. Although it is messy, she patiently answers one by one, with her back facing the football field, slightly hanging His eyes moved back a little.

There was a surprise call from behind, repeatedly calling Kudo Shinichi's name, it must have been a goal, but he was obviously suppressed when he passed by just now, did he overtake so quickly?

She inadvertently bent her eyes slightly, and continued to answer other people's words. She was proficient at double-tasking, and it would not let people see that she cared about the schedule ahead.

Suddenly, she quickly raised her eyes again, realizing that she shouldn't pay so much attention to him, no matter if she was curious or vigilant, if she paid more attention, then the similar feeling would also increase dangerous feelings.

If it is discovered early enough, it should be restrained immediately.

Amidst the noise that was approaching, she emptied her attention. Fortunately, when the basketball game started here, those shouts took most of it away, and the two sides had different schedules, so she would pay more attention to this side.

The women's basketball team has always had the upper hand, and it is not a problem to win this game. Amidst the cheers and cheers of the audience, Didan High School's victory came to an end.

Xue Chuanlin, who was a substitute, did not play. She stepped forward and clapped her hands to congratulate her. After confirming that the next game will be tomorrow afternoon, she will go to the coffee shop to go to work. When passing by the auditorium of the football field, she saw Mao Lilan She greeted Suzuki Sonoko and quickly turned to leave.

Compared with basketball games, football games are relatively long. Many spectators will start to get discouraged after watching the first half. Players on the field need stronger physical strength. Sensitive, she could almost hear the panting of those people.

As if being held back by an invisible weight, she stopped, her eyelashes quivering slightly, her eyebrows lowered slightly, her eyes that had been restrained for a long time greedily collected the scenes on the football field, and finally fell behind to run and fight with other players. gesturing teenager.

He was wearing a white jersey, his face was still a little immature, his eyes were clear, showing hotness and excitement without any concealment, his forehead was covered with sticky sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and smiled confidently. fell into her eyes.

So, she dodged subconsciously, sighed secretly, and her downcast eyes were somewhat helpless and compassionate.

That is the sunshine she cannot touch.

One p.m.

Teidan High School, who ended the game in a crushing situation, decided to go to a coffee shop at the suggestion of senior Nomura Kanade.

There are several cafes not far from Teidan High School. After Kudo Shinichi, who was immersed in the previous game, walked to the door, he realized that the part-time coffee shop brought by Nomura Kanaru Yukikawa Rin.

She was standing under the warm light at the counter, her short black hair seemed to be stained with a little light, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, confirming the menu with the customer.

Even though he had met the person countless times, he still quickly looked away, suppressing the slight movement in his heart, and wanted to find an excuse to leave here.

But it was obviously too late, the leading senior Nomura Kanou had already pushed open the door, and everyone walked in with the crisp wind chimes in front of the door.

Nomura Kanade leaned against the counter and greeted Yukikawa Rin with a smile.

"Rin, I haven't been here for a long time."

Facing this familiar voice, Yukikawa Rin, who was lowering his head to confirm the order, just hummed lightly and didn't look back.

"...Let's change places."

The voice that came from a little further away was quite unique to the boy, with a deep and cool voice.

She stopped pointing her fingertips on the screen, and subconsciously turned her head to face the boy's clear blue eyes. Those clean eyes suddenly rushed over like a surging river, as if they were going to drown her.

Kudo Shinichi who said that was quickly whispered by other teammates, and did not notice her concerned eyes.

Soon, Yukikawa Rin, who realized that he had paid too much attention to the boy, lowered his head and continued to confirm the menu with the guests.

It was a moment too short to catch. Nomura Kanade, who was paying attention to all the subtle movements of her sweetheart, frowned slightly, and quickly changed into a gentle senior image and turned to Kudo Shinichi.

"What's wrong, what's wrong here?"

"No." Kudo Shinichi said, hooking his face in embarrassment, looking at Yukikawa Rin with a normal expression from the corner of his eyes, he felt that he was too sensitive, and compromised, "Ah, let's just stay here, it's good of."

"Kudo's words sound a bit accommodating." A player behind him joked.

"No."

"You don't want to leave because there's no lemon pie you like here?"

I don't know who opened the mouth and continued to laugh. Kudo Shinichi, who was just helpless, was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the scene where Yukikawa Rin asked himself if he liked lemon pie. Looking at her again, his eyes were still flat and calm.

"But it's not like there's nothing here, and it's just because the nearest pastry chef was injured, so the lemon pie has only been stopped recently." Someone next to him continued to explain.

"I'll just say it casually, order, order."

As Kudo Shinichi said, he asked his teammates who paid too much attention to him to join the ranks of ordering. Of course, during the ordering process, there were always boys who wanted to get close to Yukikawa Rin, but this was all done by Yukikawa Rin. Resolve, just like that, soon arrived at Kudo Shinichi.

Kudo Shinichi wasn't too nervous, and when he stood in front of the counter, he looked down at the menu with surprising seriousness.

"Does Kudo-san want iced coffee?" She asked lightly.

Hearing the girl's hoarse and calm voice, Kudo Shinichi looked up at her, she always looked so calm and composed, but he was in a state of mind, which looked extremely ridiculous.

She clearly deduced that Nomura Kanade would definitely come to the coffee shop where she worked, and she would walk there pretending not to know, and when she arrived, she was a little worried and wanted to escape, or said to leave in order to maintain some kind of self-esteem.

Even at the very beginning, subconsciously looking for her during the football match, all these made the mighty young detective feel unprecedented frustration.

"You obviously didn't play."

He frowned slightly, put his hands on the counter, leaned closer, and blurted out a bit of resentment.

"Why didn't you come to see me... the game."

As if realizing something, the word "I" fell to the lowest pitch in an instant, and even the word "competition" behind it had a sense of inadequacy.

A boy is a boy, and when things that are unwilling to resent and care are involved, the emotions that he cares about will change his shape, and the restraint and calmness that seems to have rusted have all quietly loosened.
