Chapter Seventy-Three: The Eve of the Journey

The members of Class B have gradually become accustomed to the frequent haunting of Rinko Hori.

In addition, the midterm exam is coming tomorrow, so no one pays attention to her who is sitting in the position of Hoshikawa Aoi.

Hikari put his hands under his legs and leaned his weight back against the back legs of the chair and shook it back and forth, creating a squeaky sound.

"You still need to review, don't make noise."

Li Wu didn't raise his head and preached.

Hikari obediently stopped.

She took a pocky in her mouth, sucking the chocolate part like a cigar, took one out of the box with her free hand, and handed it to Li Wu.

"Detective Xiaowu, do you want one?"

"I have to warn you, dear Inspector Hori, that if you don't go back and do some preparation for tomorrow's exams, your mother will kick you in the ass with her boots."

Li Wu sighed, opened his mouth to bite the pocky handed over, and said vaguely.

"But there are more important things than exams." Hikari posed in the shape of a pyramid on Hoshikawa's desk, "That's right, something is wrong. ”

"Uh-huh."

"I met Miss Hoshikawa in the corridor before, sixteen years old, slender physique, she walked in a hurry, and seemed to be hiding some secrets."

"You've made up your mind to play detective to the end, haven't you?"

Hikari ignored his question and reached out to grip the middle of Pocky's with his fingers and inhaled sharply.

Then he choked on the chocolate crumbs he had sucked in.

Li Wu patted her on the back, and after pouring a large glass of water, the new detective's face turned red from the strenuous exercise just now.

The students of Class B who were reviewing around them watched their drama with a look of respect.

"So what happened after you met Hoshikawa?"

"I stopped her, but she was frightened like a ghost in her heart."

Hikari imitated Hoshikawa Aoi's tone: "Rin-san! What do you want to do! First of all, I'm not the same as Arissa! ”

"Ah......h

"Actually, in order to deal with the monster in the mid-term exam, I was about to ask everyone to hold a combat meeting."

"You told her you wanted to have a study meeting?"

"Well, I said, 'Do you want to come along?' Call Xiao Wu, Arisa and Shiratori'. ”

Li Wu had a bad premonition: "What about Xingchuan's reaction?" ”

"'Even you, President?' This fandom will be too erosive! She ran away crying. ”

Hikari knocked on the table and fell into deep thought: "Why did she say something like after the assassination of the ancient Roman leader?" What is the truth behind this? ”

Li Wu solemnly pressed her shoulder: "It's better not to explore the truth of some things." ”

When he came to school on Monday, he fell into a serious review atmosphere, and he almost forgot that there was another accident related to his reputation to explain.

A girl staggered down the back aisle.

She was holding a large pile of books, and even her upper body was blocked.

Because Li Wu stood in the aisle, he blocked her way.

As he stepped back, he took a stack from the top of the book mountain: "Is Erisha going to do so many questions?" ”

"Yo, little love!"

Hikari also greeted her, "Do you want to eat pocky?" ”

Arisa turned her head, carefully balanced with one hand, and took the snack: "Thank you." ”

She made an S-shaped curve, avoiding Li Wu's side from the light and returning to her seat.

His questions were not answered from beginning to end.

Hikari patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Xiao Wu, you are hated by her." ”

After school, a second study session was held in the activity room at Hikari's request.

But the atmosphere at the meeting was a bit odd.

Arisa was more reticent than usual, and her whole body shrank under the table.

Hoshikawa Aoi glanced at everyone with resentment.

Shiratori Mao, who was glared at with the eyes of the betrayer for no reason, felt inexplicable

Light is snacking.

After everyone entered the revision state, Shiratori suddenly proposed, "Wait for the evening after the midterm exams to hold a celebration party, right?" ”

"At that time, I was about to go on a school trip."

Li Wu wrote down the equation on scratch paper and replied nonchalantly.

"You can do it on the train, but if you go to Longdu Island, it will take one night, right? It must have been a sleeper train. ”

Hoshikawa Aoi's face turned red: "I, am I going to participate too?!" And isn't it too bold on the train? ”

"Of course, aren't you a member of the club? Besides, aren't all the means of transportation for school trips used to do this kind of thing? ”

"Ahh......h

"I think Hoshikawa is a little misunderstood."

Li Wu took the opportunity to interject, omitting the core part of the misunderstanding, and talked about the current situation of Airisa running away from home.

Aoi Hoshikawa, who seemed to realize how much trouble she had made, lay on her side on the table with a look of wanting to die.

"However, I think it's better to resolve the family conflict as soon as possible and return to your own home, okay?"

She sat up and looked at Arisa diagonally, "Arisa should think the same way, right?" ”

"Huh? What? ”

The girl who had been wandering outside the world seemed to have just come back to her senses, and she first looked at Li Wu opposite.

Then he suddenly ran to the corner of the cabinet and hid.

"It's weird, I thought her habit had improved recently, why is this happening again?"

Shiratori pushed his glasses and wondered.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Hoshikawa Aoi, who was closest to the door, opened the door, and an unexpected visitor walked in.

Arisa came out of the corner of the cabinet: "Daddy? ”

My beloved father was carrying a huge suitcase, a suit and leather shoes, as if he was going to a business banquet somewhere.

"I'm sorry, I asked where your classmate Erisha might be, and Tang suddenly came to visit."

Although it was said to be abrupt, his tone was still cold.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Li Wu asked.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said to Arisa, "I'm going on a business trip recently, so I'll talk to you." ”

"This kind of thing can't be ...... on the phone"

Arisa whispered something timidly, turning her eyes for help to her friends.

Ai Father frowned: "I just want to remind you again in person, don't rely on others, you should temper your own strength." ”

After saying that, he nodded to the others and left the activity room.

"Arisa's father...... Could it be that he is the same kind of person as Hikari? ”

Shiratori muttered to himself.

Erisa was apparently angry at her father's last words, and was depressed until the study society was disbanded and they were on their way back.

Li Wu tried to talk to her: "Eri ......"

She shuddered, and quickly turned her head away.

Li Wu suddenly thought of a possibility.

"I mean, you're not shy about yesterday, are you?"

Arisa crouched down with her head in her hands, and let out a low cry like a high-pressure boiler boiling water.

"What happened yesterday?"

The light that was walking in front suddenly turned around.

"Arisa expresses a high degree of affirmation of my personal character, envy?"

"Betrayed!"

Arisa whispered, this scene seemed quite familiar.

Light must have thought it was boring, and continued to hum a song and wave the wooden stick he picked up on the side of the road and drove forward.

The remaining two fell behind and walked home without a word.

A group was created, and the group number 558709025

Thank you for the 20220407023902531 book friends, the 20210612084056295 book friends, the first in the world in the weak voice, the brilliant ice flowers, and the philosophical thinking
