Chapter 118: Blind date

"Thirty-eight degrees Celsius is already a sloppy temperature. Next to the bed in the office, Xiao Ai, who was wearing a white coat, said lightly while looking at the thermometer.

"Ahem, huh...... Ahem, what a ...... Trouble, cough cough......" I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, coughing while talking intermittently, the ice pack on my head kept sending me a biting cold, making my head feel a faint tingling sensation all the time, very uncomfortable. But it's too cold to put on the ice pack, but it's hot and hard to take down the ice pack, and now I'm really ******** like ice and fire.

"Obviously, I only caught a cold once a few weeks ago, and now I have a cold again, are you the young master of which family, so delicate?" Xiao Wai said and gave me a delicate look.

"Well, don't say that, Xiao Ai, Xiao Hui is already very hard. Xiaolan, who was watching from the side, worriedly wiped my sweat and asked me uneasily, "Is it very uncomfortable, Xiaohui? Why don't we go to the hospital?"

"No...... No, it's just ...... It's just a cold, cough cough ......" I just wanted to smile at Xiaolan, but a mouthful of phlegm came up, making me cough violently again.

"Don't talk Xiaohui! Lie down and rest! Conan at school has already asked for your leave, you don't have to worry. Seeing that I still wanted to speak, Xiaolan hurriedly waved her hand to signal me to lie down, and tidied up the quilt for me before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That sister went to school!" Seeing that I obediently looked at her and didn't move, Xiaolan smiled and touched my head: "If you're good, Sister Xiaolan will make you something to eat when you're sick!"

I nodded silently.

"Just like Sister Xiaolan said, lie down honestly, don't move, don't run around, I'll ask for leave for you at school, and I'll take care of it too, so let Gray Yuan and Uncle Maori take care of you here." Conan sighed and said, "As for those little ghosts, I won't let them come, I don't think you have much energy to deal with them, so take a good rest." ”

Keep nodding.

"Really, I was fine last night, why did I get so sick overnight......" Conan read in fragments as he turned and went out.

"Then Dad, Xiaohui will leave it to you!" Xiaolan also turned around.

"Oh! wrap it around me!" Although Uncle Maori slapped his chest with a crackle, I really thought in my heart, and I couldn't help but look at Xiao Ai as if asking for help. I don't want to die so young.

Xiao Ai really had an unusually tacit understanding with me, I just frowned, Xiao Ai fully understood my thoughts, and after Conan and Xiaolan left, he said lightly: "I want to help him do another examination, can you please go out for a walk first?"

"Huh, what's the check? I'm a man, is it okay?" Uncle Maori said in confusion without understanding the meaning of the little lamentation.

"There are many germs in people. Xiao Wai glanced at Uncle Maori.

"Okay, I'll go out, I'll leave this little ghost to you, don't let him lose his breath......" Uncle Maori, who was about to say something, saw that Xiao Ai's face was a little unkind, so he couldn't help but touch his nose in disgust, turned around and walked out.

"You sleep first, recuperate your spirits, I'll sit next to you and read a book for a while, and I'll be called if there's something. As she spoke, she moved a chair and sat down beside me, opening a book of Tagore's poems.

I really want to sleep now, but my nose is not breathing, and secondly, my body is cold for a while, hot for a while, and I can't cough up phlegm in my throat.

“...... Alas, I'm afraid of you. Xiao Ai was stunned by my gaze, and turned her head slightly uncomfortably, a slight red glow flashed on her white jade-like face, and she opened the poetry book in her hand and began to read it softly.

The beautiful words accompanied by the melodious voice of Xiao Wai like a wind chime flowed quietly in the room, like a pair of gentle hands, slowly soothing my restless heart, as time passed quietly, I gradually calmed down, and the pain in my body seemed to leave me, peeling off from my body little by little. The stiff limbs gradually soothed, and my mind was as calm as water, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk. The whole day was spent in vain. There is a little bit of regret in my heart, and a little bit of comfort, a very subtle feeling, just like a high school student deserting in class, and feeling ashamed and secretly refreshing.

"Awake?" a small hand appeared on my forehead with the voice.

"Hmm. I turned my head and unsurprisingly saw Xiao Ai's calm pretty face.

"The temperature seems to have dropped, with my mouth in mind. Xiao Ai pulled out a thermometer and shoved it into my mouth.

"Thirty-seven degrees two, well, it seems that the medicine has indeed worked, and the body temperature has been normal. Looking at the thermometer, Xiao Ai nodded with satisfaction.

"Did you feed me medicine while I slept?" I asked, leaning back on the head of the bed with the help of Xiao Ai.

"Well, what's the dissatisfaction?" Xiao Ai's blue eyes swept over, with a coldness.

"No, no. "Not only is it not dissatisfied, but it should be said that it is a stealing joy......

"Mouth-to-mouth feeding. ”

"Poof, ahem, ahem, ahem...... you...... What are you talking about?!" I glared at Xiao Ai.

Small...... Xiao Wai, mouth ...... Right...... Mouth...... Hehe, hehe......

"It's not me, it's the Maori detective. Xiao Wai said lightly.

"......" My face must be blue now.

"It's just a shot for you. ”

"......" is not fun at all.

"Since you're fine, then I'll go back first, Detective Maori just went out to buy cigarettes, and I'll be back in a while, Edogawa and that kid will come back from school in a while, I'll put the medicine on the bedside for you, I've already told Edogawa how to take it, you have a good rest, and tomorrow should be almost fine." Xiao Ai said as she tidied up her things and walked towards the door.

"Ah, also, don't stay up late in the future, your cold this time is probably caused by a cold at night. Xiao Wai, who was about to go out, suddenly turned around and instructed me: "Take care of your body, don't always mess around like a child." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I nodded yes again and again.

Soon after Xiao Ai left, Conan returned to the office with his schoolbag on his back, and when he saw me lying on the sofa watching TV with a low spirit, he couldn't help frowning and complaining.

"If you're sick, you look a little sick, and what should you do if you run around like this and your condition gets worse?"

"It's okay, it's okay," I sniffled, tugged at the blanket on my body, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Xiao Ai, the heat has come down, but the body is still a little weak, and it's no problem to sleep again at night." ”

"Ah, is it," Conan said, putting his bag on the couch, raising his eyelids, and without sincerity, "that's great." ”

"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have? Anyway, my dear brother is sick, okay? Even if you don't ask for warmth, at least don't be so cold, right?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw that Conan didn't even look at me, and took out his homework book to prepare to write his homework.

"Aren't you still dead," Conan choked me half to death with a word, then glanced at Uncle Maori who was sleeping on the table, and changed the topic: "Uncle Maori has no job today?"

"Of course, right?" I snorted angrily: "Although the name of 'Sleeping Kogoro' is not small recently, it is only limited to a small place in Guanzhong, and when you leave Guanzhong, who still recognizes your dish?"

"Yes. After thinking about it, Conan nodded in understanding and began to do his homework.

After a while, the phone in the room rang.

"Go and answer the phone, I'm busy with my homework right now, I can't do it. Conan said with his head in one hand and his pen in the other, without raising his head.

"Hiss~" I took a breath with some toothache: "Okay, you are ruthless!"

Glaring at Conan fiercely, I rubbed over to the phone and picked it up, "This is the Maori Detective Agency, who are you?"

"Yo! I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Uh, Hattori, you're looking for Conan, I'll call him. I froze for a moment, then turned to look at Conan.

"Hey, wait......"

Without waiting for Hattori to say anything, I slipped the phone into Conan's hand, who came over: "It's Hattori." ”

Although after several contacts with Hattori and Conan's reconciliation, Hattori's opinion of me has been dispelled a lot, but his lack of opinion does not mean that I have no opinion either, seeing Hattori, I still feel a little awkward in my heart, I am not a person all the way, I can not contact him, I don't want to get close to that guy at all.

Conan nodded and took the phone: "Hey, it's me, what's the matter?"

"Ah, there's something I'd like to tell you...... "Even from a few steps away, I can still hear Hattori's loud voice clearly.

"Huh, the opening of the hotel to celebrate the party?"

"Ah, yes, actually, it was my parents who were invited, and they both had a cold and couldn't participate, so I wanted you to go with them. ”

I wasn't interested in the conversation between Conan and Hattori, so I lay down on the couch again, covered the blanket on my body, turned up the sound of the TV, and looked like Kamen Superman.

Sure enough, after a while, Conan refused Hattori's invitation with a cold face, but to my surprise, I didn't know what Hattori said on the phone, Conan's originally expressionless face suddenly became excited, and his face was flushed with excitement!

"Eh?!Is he there?!! I'll go!!"

At this moment, Xiaolan, who came back from school, suddenly opened the door and walked in: "Where are you going?"

Conan, who was taken aback, hurriedly used the doctor's excuse to prevaricate Xiaolan, and after coaxing Xiaolan upstairs to the bedroom, he whispered a few words to Hattori, and then hung up the phone.

"Hattori invited us to Osaka for a banquet, you should go to bed early tonight, recuperate, and catch the car tomorrow." ”

"Don't go. I said with a loud voice.

"Well, why don't you go, eat good food for free, don't you like to eat greasy stuff the most?" Conan looked at me a little strangely.

"I haven't recovered from my cold, so I can't go. ”

"Didn't you just say that as long as you get some sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow?"

"Osaka is so far away, what if the old illness relapses due to the fatigue of traveling on the road?" I gave Conan a blank look.

"It's just a cold, and the old illness has recurred...... Conan looked at me speechlessly, sighed and said: "I know you don't like Hattori, but people have now corrected it, okay, Hattori just asked me to take you with me on the phone, people want to ease relations with you so hard, can't you give some face?"

"If you don't go, you don't go, you don't go!"

"Hey, are you a child?!"

"You care about me!"

"Forget it, whatever you want. Conan was completely out of touch in the face of my sloppy scoundrel, and he couldn't help but rub his head with a headache.

The next day, seeing that my cold was no longer as bad as I had said before, Xiaolan relieved herself and boarded the train to Osaka with Uncle Maori and Conan, while I stayed at the doctor's house as always.

......

"Hey, you're interrupting my work. In the basement, Xiao Ai turned around and looked helplessly at me who was eating snacks and drinking coffee behind her.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't speak, I just look at you, and you just don't exist for me. I said with a grin.

"Really, wouldn't it be nice for you to go to Osaka with Edogawa, and don't you have a beautiful sister who likes you very much?" Xiao Ai said a little coldly.

"No, I'm not pleasing to the eye right now, out of sight and out of mind, so everyone is embarrassed. I took a sip of coffee and smoothed down my mouth full of snacks: "Also, the beautiful sister you said is with Ye? Don't joke, go to her house for a day, I will lose my life for at least twenty-four hours!"

"That's not nonsense!" Xiao Ai gave me an angry look.

"Anyway, I won't leave, I won't bother you anyway, you just treat me as air. Hey hey ......"

Xiao Ai glanced at me, stopped talking, and concentrated on his own things.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of Xiao Ai's "da-da-da" tapping on the computer keyboard.

"Click, click...... Chew ......"

"Click, click...... Chew ......"

"Click, click, click, ......"

"If you make a sound again, let me out!" Xiao Wai said angrily to me, who was eating happily behind her.

"Chewing ...... Chewing ...... Pharynx. I touched the dim sum dregs at the corner of my mouth, and smiled a little weakly: "Don't take it as an example, don't take it as an example, hehe......"

"Actually, you don't blame me, who made your dim sum so delicious, and learned your mother's craft......" I muttered quietly.

"You still say!"

"Don't say it, don't say it. Seeing Xiao Ai's angry look, I quickly shrank my head.

At this moment, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and as soon as I connected it, the voice of Sato, who had not been seen for a long time, entered my ears.

"Xiaohui?!I'm in trouble now!Hurry up and save me!"

"What are you talking about?!" I stood up suddenly, glanced at Xiao Ai, and saw Xiao Ai nodding slightly to me, I turned around and walked out, and said, "Don't worry, tell me the situation first! I'll figure it out!"

If Sato, who has always been strong, can call for help, it seems that she is really running into a thorny problem! Thinking about this, I can't help but feel very anxious.

......

"Hah...... In other words, Sister Miwako, you were forced by your aunt to go on a blind date and want me to go to the rescue?" I sat in the taxi, sighed helplessly, and glanced at the numbers that kept jumping on the meter in distress. I thought something was wrong, and I was so worried......

"Yes, do you have any grievances?" Sato on the other end of the phone sensitively felt the change in my tone, and said threateningly: "What? The most beloved sister Miwako has encountered a big crisis in her life and wants you to ask for help, shouldn't you rush to help?"

"Eh~~?what's wrong with blind dates...... Sister Miwako, you are not too young, if you don't find a mother-in-law quickly, you will become an old woman who can't get married...... "I said in a hurry.

"What are you talking about?!! you talk about it!!" Hearing my words, Sato's voice instantly became angry: "Anyway, you must arrive within ten minutes, otherwise you will die! With that, Sato hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Alas, it's tiring to have a troublesome sister......" I put away my phone and sighed again. The driver in the front seat looked at me with a strange look through the reflex mirror.

"Shuidu Building...... This is it. "After a while, I stood in front of the Japanese restaurant that Sato told me, made sure the location was correct, and walked in.

"Oh, little brother, are you alone?" As soon as I entered, a waiter in a kimono greeted me, looked behind me for a long time, and saw that there was no one, and finally asked me with some uncertainty.

"Well, my brother, they said they would be there in a moment, let me come first. I nodded, pretending to be a good baby, and asked with a smile, "Is the crane house still vacant here?" ”

"Ah, what's this......" When the waiter heard the crane house, he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, little brother, the crane house has guests now." ”

"Why do you ...... like this?" I thought for a moment with a pretended disappointment, and said, "Then we will pay double, can you let them go to another room?"

"No, little brother," the waiter touched my head and said with a smile: "We can't do such rude things to guests, and the guests in the crane house are now on a blind date, so they can't be disturbed, and the proverb doesn't say that those who disturb people's love will be kicked by horses." ”

"Oh, well," I was sure I was in the wrong place when I heard the waiter's words, and after a moment of thought, I asked again, "Is the room next to the crane house still free?"

"Well, there's a spare room next to it!" the waiter nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll just need the next room. I laughed too.

Originally, Sato asked me to find someone to come over and help stir up the situation, but I thought the same, such an interesting thing, what a pity to stir up in a hurry, it's better to let me watch the play first, not to mention that the adults I know are either going to school or going to work, and I'll save her at a critical moment...... Thinking about it like this, I came over to watch the excitement with peace of mind.

In other words, Sato must know very well about the adults I know around me, right? Why did he ask me to call someone when he knew that I couldn't find anyone?

The room next to the crane house is called Kameya, and it is an orthodox Japanese-style kit, because there are no guests, and in addition to tatami mats, there are only some flower arrangements, ink calligraphy and paintings, and other ornaments, which are also elegantly arranged.

After rejecting the waiter's suggestion to order and pushing the waiter away, I couldn't wait to get to the partition wall and start stealing the sound. Because it is a Japanese-style room, there is only a thin partition between the two rooms, and as long as you are closer, the sound next door can be heard clearly, which provides a lot of convenience for my eavesdropping plan.

"Aha, I see, someone will come and rescue the beautiful princess from the clutches of the demon king later, right?"

Isn't this a white bird? I was stunned.

"Silly...... Fool, what are you talking about?" Sato's voice was stiff.

"Then do it, if Takagi comes, I will walk away without complaint, and if he does not come, you will marry me. Is that okay?" Shiratori's voice sounded, and how could it be forced...... Phew, it means to buy and sell.

It turns out that Sato also called Takagi...... I rubbed my chin and pondered.

No, although many people know that Takagi has a crush on Sato, but Sato, who doesn't have much femininity on his body, didn't notice it at all, and it's unlikely that he would call Takagi, it should be Yumi, think about it, if Sato asks for help, then the first object is most likely her best friend Yumi. I think Yumi will definitely report to Takagi in order to fulfill Takagi......

Things are getting more and more interesting...... Hey.

"Eh, why Takagi?" Sure enough, Sato didn't expect Takagi to know about it.

"Hahahaha...... Jokes, just jokes, just trying to embarrass you. After a moment of silence, Shiratori burst out laughing.

"Oh well. I agree. Sato's answer was completely unexpected, and this chick actually agreed!

"You...... Agreed?" Shiratori's shocked voice came from the room: "You have to know that this kind of thing is not a joke......" Thinking about it, he didn't expect his joke to be able to get a response from Sato.

"Eh, of course I understand, of course, I have to revise the conditions," Sato responded, "It's not just Takagi, if no one comes to pick me up before sunset, I'll marry you and be your wife." How?"

"Yes, but not someone who came here to maliciously stir up trouble. "The white bird will not give an inch to the tunnel.

"Of course. ”

No way...... Play...... Play really......

If I really don't go to Sato this time, Sato won't air dry me into jerky, right...... I was secretly speechless.

Wait, Shiratori just said that it can't be a malicious troublemaker, that means that even if I go out and sell cuteness now, it's useless to mess up Sato's blind date...... What can I do?

"Understood, that's a word. "There was a secret joy hidden in Shiratori's calm voice, and I could hear it even through the door.

"Well, it's hard to chase after a horse. ”

Ha, ha, ha...... Brother Takagi, you must be powerful......

However, good things are destined to be grinding, and soon, Shiratori learned by phone that Takagi encountered a convenience store robbery while investigating eyewitness testimony in a case, and although he caught the suspect, he couldn't identify the culprit because of the inconsistent testimony, and was dragged at the crime scene and couldn't get out. Sato was anxious to call Takagi, but was stopped by Shiratori.

Time was ticking, and I wasn't in a hurry, anyway, it was still early before sunset, so I ordered a table of snacks and ate while listening to Shiratori's courtesy to Sato.

After a long time, Takagi still didn't come, and just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard Shiratori say next door, "The sun is about to set." ”

“...... Well, yes. Sato replied a little stunned.

"Sato, it's not that I don't trust you, if Takagi really doesn't come, I'm going to win, I want a token. Shiratori said.

"Tokens?"

"As a token, I want your kiss. ”

"Kiss...... I...... And you?" Sato's voice hesitated.

"Yes, it's okay, if no one comes before sunset, we'll be husband and wife. You've said that it's hard to chase a horse, right?"

Sato reluctantly complied.

Now it's in trouble. The time is coming, and now it seems that Takagi is choking enough to make it, how can this be...... I, who have always been calm and composed, can't help but be a little flustered at this moment.

"You look calm, Miwako. As if feeling that he had won the battle, Shiratori's voice became more and more quiet: "Do you really believe that Takagi will arrive in time?"

"Yes, with Takagi's reckless character, I probably won't be able to solve the case for a while......"

"Then why aren't you panicking at all? Are you ready to marry me?"

"Of course not, I'm waiting for another person. ”

The other person? I and Shiratori were stunned at the same time. Who is she waiting for?

The previous question resurfaced in my mind: did she really want Akiki Edogawa to save her?

No, maybe the "looking for someone" she brought in one bite was the point of her looking for me. So, who does she want me to go to?

The answer seems to be coming out, so when Shiratori said that the person who deliberately caused trouble didn't count, Sato didn't stop it, because it wasn't "me" that she wanted to call. I thought that Sato had already let go, but now it seems that Sato has just hidden him deeper in his heart.

Sato, still thinking about him.

The time was getting closer, the sun was setting in the west, and I clenched my fists, not knowing what to do. Perhaps, after losing this time, Sato really won't think about anyone anymore......

Sato wants "him" to appear, but I don't. But if "he" is not allowed to come out, Sato will be forced to marry Shiratori......

"It's less than ten minutes left, it seems like I won, don't be so sad, I didn't say to get married right away," Shiratori's voice comforting Sato came from next door: "I want to wait until you want to, because I will always be your friend." ”

He ...... Sure enough, it still didn't come. Sato's voice was lost.

"As a man, I admire him for putting his work first. ”

Shiratori thought Sato was talking about Takagi, but I knew that she was talking about someone else.

"Forget it, if this is my life, I'll admit it, just take it as God's punishment for me to bet on him without permission, anyway, I just want to fight in the end, unfortunately, I lost. ”

Sato, you're pushing me......

"Let's start right away, you don't want that token......" Sato's voice was full of broken cans.

Clench your fist, let it go, clench it again, and release it again...... My heart was constantly struggling, and if I let him appear, it would undoubtedly give Sato hope, but that hope was more cruel than nothing.

The sound of rustling next door made me even more uncomfortable.

Long...... I touched my hands and let go of my hands and smiled bitterly: Sato, you won.

"Are you ready, Sato?"

"Hmm. ”

Knock knock. There was a sudden knock on the door, and a tall figure was clearly reflected in the sunlight.

"Woman, give you ten minutes, come out. "A cold voice. But this sound that can make people freeze makes Sato's originally desperate face burst into dazzling brilliance for a moment.

Sato didn't care about Shiratori, so he ran out at once, but he didn't see anyone, but Sato still refused to give up, ran out of the hotel, and saw me sitting at the door of the hotel at a glance.

"Yo!" I said hello.

"Where's the man?!Didn't you call him over?!"

"I'm sorry, it's just me, he didn't come. I laughed and said, "The voice is also my pretence." ”

"What?!" Sato was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I forgot, you'll change your voice." ”

"yes, hehe, it's so dangerous, I almost can't catch up. ”

"Eun, that's it, wait!" Sato just nodded, suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly became ugly: "I called you yesterday morning, why are you here now?!Are you always watching my jokes?!"

"I'm going to find someone, okay?" I said with my hands outstretched.

"Are you really going to call him?" Sato's eyes lit up, and then darkened again: "He still won't come, right?"

"Hmm, what are you talking about?" I pretended to be stupid and said, "Although I want to find someone, but there are only a few people I know, Uncle Maori can't do it, Takagi and Chiba are at work, Konoha is traveling, and there is a fast ...... Ah, it's a big brother who is still in school, where do you ask me to find someone? I can't help it, so I have to pretend to be myself. ”

"Oh, that's right, hehe. Sato smiled a little reluctantly.

"Who are you trying me to find?" I looked at Sato, pretending to be puzzled.

"No, I just wanted you to pretend to be an adult to get me out in the first place. Hehe. ”

"Anyway, it's not easy for me to pretend to be an adult just now, I'm looking for a stool and a sheet......"

"Okay, in order to reward you for your hard work, I invite you to dinner. ”

"Really, great!" I cheered.
