Chapter 115: Returning Home
Chapter 115: Go Home
"Now, Dad. "It seemed like a second, like a century, after a short period of silence, Xiaolan let go of the hand that was holding me tightly, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes in an instant. "Shall we let him stay?"
"Huh...... Good. Looking at her daughter's appearance, Maori Kogoro's heart also trembled slightly, for a long time, Xiaolan rarely made a self-coquettish request to herself. Since the disappearance of her eldest son, her daughter seems to have changed as a person, and she has gradually begun to do everything by herself, no longer relying on her parents, washing and folding quilts, sweeping the floor and wiping the table. I even had to start learning to cook, and it had been ten years. Xiaolan almost didn't ask for anything for herself except for some necessary things, which also made the Maori couple sad, I still remember that when Xiaolan was seven years old, she accidentally cut her finger when she was learning to cut vegetables, which made the Maori couple feel very distressed, but Xiaolan still stubbornly pasted an OK bandage, and then continued to pick up the kitchen knife in her hand and carefully cut the potatoes on the board. I was crying as I cut it, and I was still whispering it in my mouth. "Brother will be back soon, Xiaolan has to learn to cook, wash clothes, and when my brother comes back, Xiaolan will no longer rely on my brother, Xiaolan must be strong and learn to take care of my brother, so brother, come back, come back!" Thinking of the memories of the past, Kogoro's nose was also slightly sour. gladly accepted Xiaolan's request.
"Really, great, thank you dad. Xiaolan smiled happily and turned her head to look at me again. "Great, isn't it? β
ββ¦β¦ Well. Looking at Xiaolan's smile and tears in the corners of her eyes. I couldn't help but feel a little moved on my face. Family, finally reunited, albeit as it is now. But I swear, one day. I will stand in front of you as Kaoru Mori, and that day, I believe is not far off.
"Ah, Maori, this is Kaoru's foster care. Then he'll ask you. "After a short period of warmth, Dr. Asa handed my check to my father.
"Oh, checks, one, ten, hundred. Thousands, thousands...... Fifty million!" Looking at the number on the check, my father was so excited that he almost bit his tongue, although his family was not poor, but in the face of such a huge amount. At this moment, he can't be calm, fifty million. It's enough to turn your life upside down.
"How can this be? That's too much, isn't it?" Xiaolan also walked to her father's side with some embarrassment, looking at the numbers on the check.
"Kaoru-chan...... I'll say too much. What now? Dr. Asa walked up to me and whispered to me.
"It's okay, just say my parents are rich. I'm going to live here for a long time anyway, and a little more out of the way. I whispered to Dr. Asasa. Of course, it's too much, how can there be any reason to be stingy in spending money on your father and sister? 50 million? There is still an island of hundreds of billions floating outside me. If it weren't for the fear of exaggeration, I would think 50 million would be less.
"Ah, that...... Maori. Xiao Xun's parents are in the ore business, so the family is still good, so you can accept the money. It's all Kaoru's foster care fee, of course, it's okay to buy a car or something. After all, Kaoru wants to stay here to go to school, and if there is a car, I believe it is very convenient to travel or in an emergency. Dr. Asa explained indifferently.
"This, in this way, then I might as well be respectful. Hahaha. Dad scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Windfall. Anyone else would be happy. But Dad also has his own measure, although he accepted it. But all this money must be spent on me, after all, money can't be collected for nothing. However, the food at home should be better improved from today. It also made him secretly refreshed.
"Haha, then I'll trouble you, Maori, I'll go back first when it's not too early. Dr. Asasa looked at his father with an excited look and knew that his mission was accomplished.
"Ah, then I'll send it not far away. Dr. Asasa, please be careful along the way. Dad looked at the check in his hand with an obscene face, and he didn't even give it to the guest. In this regard, he ushered in three pairs of half-moon eyes.
ββββThe smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardiansββββ
"So, for the new addition to our family, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
At night, the family gathered around the table, although Conan had already told Xiaolan not to leave dinner for herself, but Xiaolan still put the curry that had already been cooked in the pot, and waited until Conan came back to take it out and eat it together.
"How is it?Xiao Kaoru, is the curry I cooked still up to your appetite?" As soon as she took the first bite, Xiao Lan looked at me expectantly.
"Yes, it's delicious. I bared my little white teeth and smiled at Lan. It's been ten years, and the little Lan who used to chase behind me has grown up. I can already cook for my dad on my own. But strange to say, my mother finally separated from my father. Is it really because my mom cooks? Or is it because of me?
"Well, if you like it. Lan smiled at me, then scooped up a spoonful of curry and put it in her mouth. However, in the next second, she frowned a little. "Alas...... Still a little bit. β
"What's wrong, Xiaolan...... Sister?"Well, I'm really not used to changing my words again and again." Adapt slowly, I laughed to myself.
"No, nothing. Xiaolan shook her head. "Kaoru-chan, you know what? When I was five years old, my brother taught me how to make curry. As she spoke, Xiaolan fell into memory. "But it's been so long, whether it's Chinese food or curry. I can't always make the same taste as my brother's cooking. β
"Is that so?" I looked at Xiao Lan, whose eyes were a little dim, and felt a little uncomfortable. I remember once in the kitchen, and there was indeed a time when Xiaolan asked me about the curry out of curiosity. I didn't expect Xiaolan to really write it down.
Scoop up a spoonful of curry again and bring it to your mouth, savoring the difference. With a smile on my face, I realized how Xiaolan's curry was different from my previous curry, in which the potatoes and onions were already flavorful. However, the beef has a somewhat bland taste. This has nothing to do with Xiaolan, I used to marinate the meat first when cutting beef. In this way, the flavor of the beef is naturally revealed. Xiaolan, on the other hand, is cut directly into pieces and boiled in a pot, although it is fully cooked, the taste is still a little worse.
"But the curry cooked by Sister Xiaolan is also delicious. He said. I began to gulp the rice into my mouth. It's better to sue her later, if you explain it now, I'm really afraid she'll think too much.
"That said, I like the curry cooked by Sister Xiaolan the most. Seeing my movements, Conan also understood what I meant, so the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys. Just like a seven or eight-year-old child, he began to eat nonsense.
"You two, really, eat slowly, Conan, Kaoru-chan. "Watch the two of us move. Xiaolan smiled knowingly. Then I seemed to remember something. He looked up at Mori Kogoro, who was sitting on the side. "By the way, Dad, since Kaoru is here, then your room shouldn't be enough to live, right?"
"Gollum, Gollum...... ...... "Kogoro poured two sips of beer. "yes, no way, you can help them clean up the storage room on the third floor later. You've been cleaning anyway, so you shouldn't have too much dust, right?"
"Well, that's all there is to it. Xiaolan said helplessly. I remember when I was a kid, I loved playing in the storage room on the third floor. So Xiaolan has been cleaning since my accident. In time. The large storage room was also cleaned and cleaned. "Kaoru-chan, Conan, after you have eaten, you can go take a bath. I'll help you clean up your room. β
"Hi~~"
"Hi~~"
After dinner, Xiaolan went to clean up the room for me, because I didn't bring any luggage, so my father planned to take me out to buy some necessary daily necessities, but Xiaolan stopped me, in her words. Anyway, my name is Kaoru, so I'll use my brother's. Thereupon. Slippers, pajamas, etc., which I used to wear as a child. It's all over me again.
"Huh...... Hehe, it still fits so well. "I squinted at the half-moon and looked at my lavender-covered pajamas.
"Of course, those are the clothes you once wore. On the couch, Conan looked in my direction. However, his expression was a little dark. I guess it's hard to accept my business.
"Well, it's like having a new childhood. I buttoned up my pajamas and sat across from Conan. Conan just gave me a faint look, and then sat down on the couch without saying a word.
"You two little ghosts, if you're okay, go take a bath. Kogoro, who came back from taking out the garbage after dinner, saw us sitting on the sofa without saying a word, so he beckoned us to take a shower and go to bed early.
"Well, you little devil would be pretty good in my son's clothes. Kogoro leaned in to look at me, and I was a little nervous, but fortunately he didn't suspect too much. When I looked at it, I lost interest. He waved at me. "Dr. Asa just called to say that he has gone to help you with the enrollment procedures at Teidan Elementary School, and you will be able to go to school with Conan in a few days. Got it?"
"Okay, I got my dad...... Uncle. As soon as the words came to my lips, my tongue suddenly clicked. When I was doing the infiltration mission, if there was such a miscalculation, I would have hung up a long time ago, but in the end, it was my real relatives, and I couldn't face them with that poker face at all.
"Whew......" Conan, who was sitting across from me, smirked at me.
"What are you laughing at......" I squinted at Conan.
"No, it's nothing, let's go take a shower. Conan didn't say anything superfluous, but walked to the bathroom on his own. Looking at Conan's little back, I couldn't help but sigh. It seems that this kid still hasn't been able to accept me, but that's right, it's normal not to accept it, maybe he should spread the cards tonight.
The room was cleaned up quickly, just vacating the goods inside, and putting two quilts on the tatami mats, so when I finished taking a shower, Conan had already gone back to the room to rest.
"Whew...... It's so comfortable to take a shower. I walked through the door wiping my wet hair. But Conan didn't give me any response, just sat at the table and watched his full Sherlock Holmes episode.
"Hey, hey......" I squinted at him.
"Huh, what?" Conan replied faintly, but his gaze never took off the book in front of him.
"I said, you have ignored me since you came home, and you have not greeted me after ten years?
"I'm not in the mood at the moment, let's talk about it later. Conan said indifferently. "It's not early, go to bed early. β
"Shinichi Kudo!, what do you mean!" I couldn't help but be a little annoyed when I heard Conan's words. "I didn't do anything to provoke you, why do I have to put on a stinky face on me!"
"No, I'm not targeting you!" Conan said abruptly back to me. "I just don't know how to face you! How can you make me accept this fact at once when my former best friend is now a murderer!" Conan's roar made me stunned. It is true that I never put myself in his shoes. For a person who kills like drinking water. Even if someone close to me kills someone, I will definitely choose to shield him and even help him destroy evidence. But for a person like Conan who has a strong sense of justice, let alone killing, even if he just had the idea of killing, once he knows it, he will definitely stop it with all his might, even at the cost of hurting himself.
"Ugh......," I sighed wistfully. "Forget it, the Tao is not the same. If you can't accept me, then I'll just leave. There's no need to get in your way here, and it makes me unhappy. But you have to be careful about Kudo, don't let Xiaolan get hurt because of your so-called sense of justice, if you let me know that she received a little bit of harm, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Let's leave, it's enough to meet Xiaolan and Dad, go back to the villa in Shimachime, I can slowly destroy the organization alone, and I can save Akemi. Why make Kudo unhappy and unhappy here.
"Wait a minute!" just as I turned to walk to the door, Conan's shout fell to my ears. "I didn't mean to drive you away, Kaoru, this is your home, you should stay here. Then Conan said to me with a stern face. "Kaoru, I just want to ask you one thing, I want to know what kind of thoughts you have about killing people in your heart. β
"Murder?" I looked back at Conan, frowning. "Does this mean anything to you now?"
"Of course it makes sense! I don't believe you're the kind of person who can treat human life as a mustard. Even if you are brainwashed, you still have the blood of Uncle Maori and Aunt Yingli in your body, the blood of justice shared by the police and lawyers!" But soon I shook my head helplessly and laughed miserably. Because he doesn't know at all. In the baby's body, before the blood flowed into the body, the soul of a demon who had fallen into the abyss had been infused into the young body. (To be continued)
