【Chapter 389】Shinichi and Lan
"Shinichi, why are you late again......" Xiaolan checked her watch a little anxiously, and suddenly felt a chill on her face.
Looking at Xiao Lan's surprised expression with a grin, Kudo Shinichi handed her a can of ice Coke: "It's still the same, Lan." ”
Pretending to be unhappy to take the Coke, Xiaolan said angrily: "Who would stick cold things on people's faces like you." ”
The weather was hot, with a few thin clouds hanging in the blue sky, like pieces of milk ice cream about to melt. The two of them opened the can and took a sip of Coke, and the hot pressure brought by the sun disappeared instantly.
"Same as last time, Lan." Shinichi said comfortably.
Theoretically, Shinichi Kudo, who has become smaller, has always been by Xiaolan's side and has never left. But for Xiaolan, Shinichi is always not by her side. After such a long period of "separation", Xiaolan finally found that what was by her side was the easiest to ignore.
She will cherish the time she has with Shinichi.
"You don't want to run away alone when you see something strange like you did last time!" Xiaolan reminded.
Shinichi touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Today, like last time, they met at the amusement park for a long time. It's still the same fountain square. The reunion after a long absence, which made the two youthful young people look particularly excited.
On this date, Shinichi used APTX4869's upgraded antidote, which is a new antidote without side effects developed by Gray Hara that can be delayed for two days. Unlike in the past, this time his move was approved and supported by everyone. When Gray Yuan gave him the antidote, he even gave him something that could regulate the atmosphere and stimulate hormones.
"Everybody's an adult." Seeing that Shinichi was a little embarrassed, Ji Haihong patted Shinichi's thigh and said earnestly as an elder.
Not only their "bad friends", but also the Kudo couple and the Maori couple enthusiastically supported them. Mori Kogoro was not as enthusiastic as his wife, so he silently handed an envelope containing money to Shinichi and told him to spend less.
According to her son's wishes, Yukiko used her connections to book a special place in a restaurant with special significance. Mr. Yusaku flipped through the newspaper and observed the behavior of the people with a smile.
Two young men strolled through the garden holding hands. It's been a long time, but many parts of the park have been renovated and new and interesting facilities are popping up.
Fortunately, those places full of good memories are still familiar to them.
Walking along the corridor, Xiaolan said: "Shinichi, last time you were here, you seem to have told me a story, about bullets, remember?" ”
"I want to think about it...... Is there an impression about the speed of pistol bullets and rifle bullets, why suddenly mention this? ”
Xiao Lan Waner smiled: "Do you remember being in Tokyo Tower?" There is a villain dressed as Matsumoto as a manager. ”
Shinichi was a little afraid: "I was very impressed that time, you actually dodged the bullet, I was very touched, you can desperately protect the people around you, but I don't support you to do this." ”
"Hmph, don't put gold on your face, I saved Conan-kun and everyone from the Metropolitan Police Department at that time!" Listening to Shinichi's words, Xiaolan was a little happy, "Besides, that person has already discovered your identity, and if I retreat at that time, you will be in danger - although it is indeed dangerous in the end." ”
Xiaolan thinks she is bold and can be calm in the face of the gun. But she never dared to say that she would jump off Tokyo Tower. What drove him to do this crazy thing? Xiaolan didn't ask, she was smart and could see the answer at a glance.
"Thank you, Shinichi." Xiaolan sincerely thanked Xinyi, and his gentle gaze made him a little suffocated.
Playing haha, Shinichi said, "Ah, yes, Lan, let's go on a roller coaster, roller coaster!" ”
"I hope there won't be any more murders and men in black this time."
When he came to the roller coaster, Shinichi really paid attention to see if there was a man in black. However, he still scared himself, the organization was on the verge of collapse, and there would be no more big moves.
After the roller coaster started, almost the whole car was screaming, and those who didn't scream were all closed their eyes and didn't dare to look forward. Xinyi uncharacteristically discarded his rational and calm image, and shouted louder than Xiaolan.
This is not a cry of fear and excitement. When you come to the amusement park, when you meet Xiaolan, when you get on the roller coaster. Shinichi gradually feels that he is only one step away from success and a peaceful life. All the pressure that had previously pressed on him was released and vanished with the undulating roller coaster. There is no fear, no burden, all that remains is joy and happiness.
It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of happiness.
After that, the two of them bought ice cream and rested on the benches.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Shinichi to be afraid of roller coasters, your voice overshadowed the wind and other people's voices, it's not an exaggeration at all."
Shinichi was powerless to refute: "How can there be." ”
Xiaolan smiled, as if she saw something. She asked, "Are you happy?" ”
"Happy!"
"Great!" Xiaolan stretched out her arms, "Then the next stop is the bloody and terrifying haunted house!" Oh my ice cream! ”
It turned out that when Xiaolan was excited, she accidentally dropped the ice cream, leaving only the cone in her hand.
Shinichi took her cone and said dotingly, "Alas, I can't help it." He took the top half of his ice cream from the empty cone and handed the rest to Lan.
Xiaolan blushed and said, "Thank you, oh yes, I remembered one thing again, last time I was here, I seemed to be lost." ”
"Wow, I can remember it, your expression was like a lost child at that time, which made people feel distressed and cry and laugh."
"You said that I can be found wherever I go, and during the cruise ship accident, I was afraid that I wouldn't see you, and I kept thinking of what you said." Thinking of the situation at that time, Xiaolan choked up a little.
"That's why I found you, and I did what I said."
"But when you followed the man in black, you told me you'd be back soon."
You can't fool this sentence. Shinichi understands that this is also what he is most sorry for Xiaolan. Focusing only on the case and being hot-headed for a while, he lost his calmness and sanity as a detective, and almost caused irreparable results.
If Gin had used a knife instead of a wooden stick at that time, he Kudo Shirata would have gone to report to Lord Yama early in the morning.
At this moment, Kudo Shinichi considers himself extremely lucky. Not only did he not die, but he also met many friends, and a gentle and kind girlfriend like Xiaolan, what more could a husband ask for.
The clock ticked into the evening. Shinichi and Ran visited a lot of places full of memories and romance.
"I'm hungry, Lan, I've booked a table in the restaurant, let's go together." Shinichi said.
Xiaolan had been to this restaurant before, and it was Shinichi who invited her to come. At that time, Shinichi encountered a case in a restaurant and left with the same excuse for Xiaolan, and in the end, only Conan Edogawa came back.
On that day, Xiaolan revealed her incomprehension and longing for Shinichi for the first time in front of Conan. Looking back now, I'm really shy! Shame on the dead, complain about him in front of Shinichi, and say a lot of wayward things. It must have made him sad.
However, Xiaolan has a question. Why is Shinichi still asking her out for dinner here? Could it be that you want to make up for the regret of the last time? Thinking of this, her heart was sweet, as sweet as eating honey.
"Such a high-end restaurant ......" Xiaolan suddenly found that their clothes were not only simple and casual, but also a little out of place with the restaurant environment.
Shinichi saw Xiaolan's concerns and comforted: "No problem, besides, there aren't many people in the restaurant today." ”
Not many people = not one. Youxizi booked an exclusive place for her son, and Ji Haihong was the "icing on the cake", spending money to charter this famous high-end restaurant. In order to send assists, he is also quite hard.
Several waiters immediately stepped forward to serve. Shinichi and Xiaolan each ordered their favorite things, and the first thing they presented was a glass of red wine.
Outside the clean glass window is the starry night sky and the city is brightly lit. The melodious sound of the piano wafted in the restaurant, and the laughter of two young people.
"Hahaha, I really can't stand you, obviously my stomach hurts, and I'm still holding on there, fortunately, Wai Chan and Dr. came in time, otherwise you would have been exposed." Xiaolan said with a smile.
Shinichi was a little depressed: "At that time, I was just thinking that I could solve the case, and I would meet you again by the way, who knew that the effect of the drug would disappear so quickly, but it scared me." ”
"I was the one who was shocked! Listening to you screaming so hard in the toilet, of course I'm going to break in! It turns out that Hattori-kun already knew your identity, so it's no wonder that he tried desperately to stop us at that time. ”
Since Xiaolan learned Shinichi's identity, they have spent less time together. Today, they finally had time to sit down and have a chat after a long absence. The past, present, and future seem to have endless words.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Shinichi looked out the window in a daze and said, "Lan, do you know why I asked you to be here?" ”
Xiaolan thought for a while: "Shinichi should want to make up for the regret last time." ”
Xinyi replied: "Well, smart, but you only guessed half right, this place, or the place where my dad and mom went on a date, is in this location." ”
Huh? Xiaolan's expression is quite wonderful, and when she finally understands what Shinichi wants to express, under the dual effect of alcohol and psychology, the roots of her ears are flushed pink, which is very seductive.
"I like you, Lan, I like you more than anyone else in the world...... But, at least for now, I can't stay with you all the time—"
Xiaolan said: "I know, Shinichi, I know, I can hear your heart, I am very satisfied, or the same as before, I, will wait for you to come back." ”
