42. Smile
\"Well, my head hurts, where am I?\" In a daze, a man's voice came, although it was said, but whether it was really said or a thought of self-talk, maybe only the person concerned knows.
"It's a really annoying feeling.\" The man didn't know when he could see it, and he looked around at the darkness around him and muttered to himself, feeling the darkness around him, as if he couldn't see it, what difference was there.
\"Oh, if you live in this darkness, you will really go crazy.\" The man felt the surrounding muttering to himself and laughed, as if only in this way could he feel at ease.
"I don't know how long it has been, this damn darkness.\" The man's eyes were dark, he couldn't tell any direction, and he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
"Is this death? It's pitch black, but why am I still conscious when I'm dead?" the man muttered to himself, but no one could answer him.
"Death is terrifying," the man whispered to himself.
I don't know how long it was, it seemed to be a few hours, and it seemed to be a few days, and the man seemed to hear a voice coming from nowhere.
"Hmm, who?\" The man looked around, but there was nothing but darkness all around.
"Wake up soon...\" The voice came again.
"This voice is so familiar...\" The man muttered to himself.
As if hearing someone crying, the man looked around, but it was still useless.
"I want to get out of this darkness too.\" The man looked up, but it was darkness except for darkness.
"White...\" There was a call in the distance, as if it was ringing in my ears.
\"Who... Who the hell is it?\" The man looked around, but it was darkness, endless darkness.
\"White... Are you calling me?\" The man muttered to himself.
The voice of "white..." came from afar again.
"Hmm...\" the man looked up, then lost consciousness again.
...
"Hmm...\" The boy lying on the hospital bed frowned and sniffed his nose.
"This is, the smell of disinfectant water.\" The man's first reaction was to confirm the smell of the smell, and then slowly opened his eyes.
\"Xiaobai, you're awake.\" Yingyan, it was Xiaolan's worried eyes.
\"Well, Sister Xiaolan.\" The boy lying on the hospital bed looked at Xiaolan with a worried face, raised his hand, and called softly.
\"Sister Xiaolan is here, Dad, Xiaobai is awake.\" Xiaolan stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiaobai's hand and shouted at the other side.
\"Woo... Xiaobai, you're finally awake.\" A girl's voice came from Xiaobai's left.
\"Well, Ayumi...\" The boy turned his head sideways, looked at Ayumi with tears on his face, and reached out and shouted.
\"Woooooooo Finally woke up.\ Everybody is so worried about you.\" Ayumi held the boy's hand with both hands and said crying.
\"Well, uncle.\" The boy looked away and saw Uncle Maori with a worried look on his face.
\"It's okay, it's okay.\" Maori reached out and patted Xiaobai's forehead.
\"What's wrong with me?\" The boy asked, seemingly unaware of what was going on.
\"You passed out at the gym, it was Uncle Chigo who sent you here.\" Next to Ayumi, a boy with glasses explained.
"Really?\" The boy glanced around, and in his eyes, in addition to the white of the walls, there were also worried eyes from Chigo, Motota and others.
"I'll go out first.\" Maori said as he walked out the door.
\"By the way, we all forgot to call the doctor when we woke up.\" Xiaolan said as if she had something in mind.
\"I'll call a doctor.\" Chigo finished and walked out the door.
\"Xiaobai, is there anything else you feel uncomfortable?\" Xiaolan put the boy's hand into the quilt and asked worriedly.
"Well, it's no big deal.\" The boy replied with a smile.
"That's good.\" Lan smiled, and then seemed to hear something and looked out the door.
I saw Sengo, who had gone out, walking in with a doctor in a white coat.
"Sure enough, it feels good to be alive.\" The man thought indifferently, so much so that he didn't pay much attention when the doctor examined him.
...
\"Then let's go back first.Xiaobai should have a good rest.We'll come to see you tomorrow.\" As it got later and later, Ayumi and the others were sent home by Maori one by one, and Chigo, Xiaolan and Conan also said to Xiaobai and left the room.
\"Hi.\" the boy responded with a smile.
\"Bump.\" leaves only the sound of the door closing.
"Is it another person...\" The boy looked around at the whiteness and smiled at the moonlight not far away from the window.
\"Once, it seems, I was afraid of the fear of death.\" The boy thought to himself as he looked out the window at the moon approaching the full moon.
"People come into this world, they are lucky and unfortunate at the same time.Lucky because we live, unfortunate because we will die.\" The man muttered and looked out the window.
"Life and death are just heartbeats and thoughts beating or stopping, but fortunately, I'm still alive...\" The boy put his hand to his heart and felt the heartbeat, smiled, just looked at the moon outside the window, and the smile slowly disappeared.
"Sure enough, they're almost the same.\" The boy muttered to himself.
\"You won't understand, you won't understand as a man.\" A stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of her eyes.
\"The glory of the family is everything to me.\" The woman looked at herself earnestly.
...
"Actually, if I really could, I'd rather not have this glory.\" The woman held out her hand and looked at herself with a weak face.
\"Glory is my life.\" The man muttered to himself softly, and fell into a deep sleep.
Following.
\"Whew... The weather is really good.\" Xiaobai stretched his waist and exclaimed as he looked out the window at the unique sunrise color.
\"It looks like I've had a nightmare.\" seemed to remember the darkness again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and shook off the bad thoughts.
\"Although people are going to die, then, it's more exciting when you're alive.\" Xiaobai stood in front of the window with a smile and looked at the sky.
...
A few days later, Xiaobai, who had gone through the discharge procedures, returned to the Maori Detective Agency.
\"Really, this time everyone is worried about you.\" Conan said as he looked at Xiaobai, who was reading a book next to him.
\"I don't want to do that.\" Xiaobai replied as he shrugged his shoulders while holding the book.
"I really envy you to be able to rest at home again.\" Conan said enviously as he looked at Xiaobai who shrugged his shoulders.
"About my uncle...\" Conan said as he looked at the smiling Xiaobai.
\"Huh?\" Xiaobai looked at Conan suspiciously.
\"I'm sorry about the Shinkansen and Uncle Anesthetizer.\" Conan apologized with his head down.
\"Anyway, everyone is fine.\" Xiaobai replied with a smile as he looked at the ceiling.
\"It seems like you're a little different.\" Conan looked at the little white looking at the ceiling and wondered.
\"yes, it's your delusion.\" Shiro turned his gaze to Conan.
"Well, this is for you.\" Conan took out a few chocolates from his pocket and gave them to Xiaobai.
"Oh, even the chocolate is ready.\" Xiaobai took a chocolate and ate it, laughing at Conan, as if he hadn't eaten chocolate for a long time.
\"I want you to take care of it...\" Conan also took one and ate it.
"In the future, be careful.\" Xiaobai felt the rich chocolate in his mouth and said to Conan beside him.
\"Well, I will.\" Conan replied.
\"Then please ask the detective to help me buy me a box of chocolates.\" Xiaobai looked at the chocolates that had been eaten and said to Conan beside him.
\"Really, this is my pocket money, you can eat it too.\" Conan looked at the chocolate that had been wiped out, and said very distressedly.
\"As for it...\" Xiaobai looked at Conan with a painful face.
\"That's my pocket money for a few days, you say.\" Conan complained.
\"Ah, didn't you tell your parents about it, it's said that your parents are very rich.\" Xiaobai seemed to have discovered a new world and looked at Conan.
\"They're probably still there, so I'm not going to tell them.\I'm not a kid anymore.\" Conan replied as he thought.
\"I guess you're going to have a hard time with your uncle.\" Xiaobai looked at Conan and shook his head.
"Well, that's really...\" Conan seemed to think of Maori and agreed.
\"By the way, I want to go to the doctor's place for the rest of the weekend, are you going?\" Xiaobai looked at the book, and then asked Conan beside him.
"Going to live at the doctor's house?\" Conan looked at Xiaobai suspiciously.
\"Well, are you going?\" Xiaobai nodded.
\"Please, how did you think of going to live at the doctor's house.\" Conan shook his head, really unable to think of an answer.
Xiaobai smiled at Conan slightly, but did not answer.
\"You don't really want to go, do you?\" Conan said in surprise as he looked at the smiling and silent Xiaobai.
"yes.\" replied with a smile.
\"I don't think Uncle will agree.\" Conan said as if he had something in mind.
\"I think he'll agree to this.\" Xiaobai seems to think of Uncle Maori, and it seems that it is indeed as Conan said.
\"I'll go to the store to buy you chocolates first, do you need anything else?\" Conan looked at Xiaobai, who was thinking about something, and asked him.
\"It's gone.\" Shiro shrugged.
\"Really, I don't know why you like chocolate so much.\" Conan grumbled as he walked out the door.
Looking at Conan, who was complaining and walking out, Xiaobai smiled.
Dinner.
\"Uncle, I want to go to the doctor's house on weekends in the future.\" Looking at Maori who was drinking beer, Xiaobai stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said.
"Well, what are you talking about?\ are you going out to live?\" Uncle Maori shouted loudly when he heard Xiaobai's words.
\"Xiaobai, why did you want to go to the doctor's house to live?\" Xiaolan also stopped her chopsticks and asked suspiciously.
\"Because I like the doctor very much.\" Xiaobai replied with a smile.
\"Hmm...\" Xiaolan was obviously stunned when she heard Xiaobai's answer.
"No, no, absolutely not.\" Uncle Maori immediately retorted.
\"Yes, Xiaobai, it's not good to disturb the doctor.\" Xiaolan also beat the side drum.
\"Isn't it okay to go once in a while?\" Xiaobai asked, looking up.
"Well, occasionally, that's, okay...\" Uncle Maori looked at his nephew staring at him, and replied with a little weakness.
\"Uncle is so nice.\" Xiaobai smiled.
\"Cut, who needs you little devil to praise...\" Maori muttered as he looked at his nephew's smile.
\"Dad, is this really okay?\" Xiaolan looked at Xiaobai's smile, although she agreed in her heart, she still had to confirm and ask.
"No problem, Xiaolan, I'll pay the doctor some money then.\" Maori said with a sip of beer.
\"It's not this.\It's just a rash way to go to someone's house to live.\" Xiaolan asked what she was worried about.
\"Don't worry about this Sister Xiaolan, the doctor will be very happy for Xiaobai to live.\" Conan, who was marginalized on the side, replied.
\"Is that so?I'll call and ask the doctor later.\" Xiaolan held her chin with her index finger, and after thinking about it, she felt better to ask me directly.
\"I like Sister Xiaolan the most.\" Xiaobai listened to Xiaolan's words and said with a happy smile.
\"Hey, Xiaolan is mine.\" Conan on the side squinted at the dead fish and looked at the smiling Xiaobai and complained.
\"Really, it's good to say to uncle, and say like it to Xiaolan.\" Uncle Maori listened to Xiaobai's comments.
"Actually, I like my uncle's too.\" Xiaobai said happily.
\"Really, who made you like this little ghost.\" Uncle Maori listened to Xiaobai's answer and turned his head to drink beer.
\"Daddy, you see you're blushing.\" Xiaolan said as she looked at Maori.
"Who, who's blushing, I'm drinking too much.\" Uncle Maori retorted.
"Uncle, are you shy?" Conan grinned as he covered his mouth.
\"Imp, don't talk nonsense.\" Maori a rampant past.
\"Dad, don't keep getting angry with Conan.\" Xiaolan sat next to Conan and touched Conan's head, and said dissatisfiedly to Maori.
\"Cut, who let this little imp talk nonsense.\" Maori replied with his hands in his arms, turning his head.
\"It's obvious that Conan said the central thing.\" Xiaolan looked at Uncle Maori's expression and also made up for it. (Divine Patch Knife)
\"I've been drinking too much.Xiaolan, give me some food, I'm going to eat.\" Maori took another sip of beer, picked up the rice bowl and said to Xiaolan.
\"Really, I won't go.\" Xiaolan took the rice bowl handed by Maori and walked towards the kitchen.
"Cut.\" Maori continued to drink beer.
\"This feeling, it's really good.\" Xiaobai looked at the frolic in front of him and smiled.
That's what he's been after, named, smiling expressions.
