"Hey - that's it! Xiaojiu~ What a cute name!" Mao Lilan immediately laughed, "Speaking of which, I have a friend, her name is Shirai Shuko, your names are similar~"
"Ah...this..."
"Well, because Shuuko is my biological sister." Shirai Shuko answered expressionlessly.
"Eh——?" Mao Lilan was suddenly surprised.
"Eh——?!!" Kudo looked even more surprised than Xiaolan, but when he saw Mao Lilan's confused expression, he forcibly lowered the pressure, "Eh————That's it~"
Mao Lilan looked at the children who were playing a lot, and continued to be friendly, "What about you? What's your name?"
"Ah...I..." Kudo Shinichi took a step back in a cold sweat. Oops, he was worried about Shirai not to reveal his secret, but he forgot to think of a fake name for himself!
"Huh?" Xiaolan smiled, did not rush, and was very patient. This invisibly put a lot of psychological pressure on Kudo Shinichi.
"My name is..." Kudo Shinichi stepped back and leaned on the bookshelf. He glanced at the title of the book on the bookshelf from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Conan! My name is Conan, Edogawa Conan!"
"Conan?" Xiaolan couldn't help but tilted her head, "What a strange name..."
"Ah...it's because my father liked Conan Doyle very much that he gave me this name..."
"Eh--" Xiaolan sat down dubiously, "I always feel that this kid looks a lot like Shinichi..." She turned around and looked at the quiet Shirai Shuko, "Xiaojiu... well, they are biological sisters after all...
but……"
Seeing that Xiaolan was still thinking about it, Dr. Ali quickly changed the subject, "By the way! Lan, although I'm a little sorry, could you please take in this child for a while recently?"
"Wait, don't be ridiculous...!"
Dr. Ali hugged Xiao Shinichi who rushed over to protest, and continued to discuss with Mao Lilan: "This child's parents were hospitalized due to an accident, so they entrusted me to take care of him for a period of time. But you see, I am a single man after all.
Well……"
After hearing this reason, the kind-hearted Mao Lilan certainly would not refuse, and expressed on the spot that if his father did not refuse, he could take Conan in.
The doctor immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Shinichi pulled the doctor and whispered.
Mao Lilan could also understand that the child was suddenly arranged like this and wanted to talk to the doctor in private, so she smiled, turned to look at the child Shirai Shuko who was a little neglected because of her quietness, and asked her to talk, "What about you, Xiaojiu?
Where is your sister? Did your sister bring you here?"
Baijiu is silent.
I always feel that I have left my sister to the house of a boy my best friend likes without permission. This kind of behavior is quite green tea.
No, she wasn't going to give up on Shirai Sakeko's vest, but she couldn't just throw dirty water on it.
"My sister called me and told me that she would be back late tonight. She was worried that I would be alone at home. She gave me brother Xinyi's address and said that brother Xinyi said that he had an old man at home who could take care of me."
"Hey - that's it - I didn't expect Shinichi to have a considerate side sometimes." Mao Lilan smiled, and there was no misunderstanding at all.
Shirai Sakeko's voice was not deliberately amplified, but it was not suppressed either. Of course Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Ari, who were not far away, also heard it. Kudo Shinichi immediately ran over, smiled at Xiaolan, and put Shirai Sakeko
He pulled her over and whispered together: "Hey, Shirai, is it really okay for you to say this?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you and the doctor heard it, so the confession is correct and the secret will not be exposed." Although she didn't want to, Shirai Sakeko, who was supposed to cooperate with Kudo Shinichi's performance, still tried her best to perform and lowered her voice.
"Then what will you do next?" Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Isn't this okay?" The doctor objected, "You are still a child after all, can you really take care of yourself? I heard from Shinichi that you live alone..."
"Yes, Shirai, and you live in your own home. What if the black organization comes and finds you?" Kudo Shinichi.
Liquor:……
I'm going to find you first when I come to my door, right? Don't forget that you are also in your own home now, Kudo.
"Oh, what do you think we should do?" Baijiu gave up thinking and left the problem to the wise man.
"How about...ask Xiaolan if she can take you two in?" the doctor suggested.
"Bringing back two oil bottles at once, wow, Uncle Maori must be very happy." Shirai Sakeko's tone was steady and smooth, and she clapped her hands expressionlessly.
Dr. Ali:......
Kudo Shinichi:……
This is true!
"In short, let's give it a try first." Kudo Shinichi thought for a while and said, "Find a reason and make yourself look miserable. Uncle Maori will probably agree."
Liquor:……
She has said so, and Kudo Shinichi still suggested this. She really didn't feel bad at all for tricking her father-in-law.
"I understand." Baijiu compromised, "Then let the doctor do me a favor later and pretend to answer the phone, saying that I suddenly became ill and will be hospitalized for a long time, so I won't have anyone to take care of me."
Kudo Shinichi:……
It was the first time I saw someone cursing me so harshly.
"Speaking of which, Shirai, are you really okay with your illness? You've been through this much tonight, are you feeling okay?"
"What I am," Shirai Sakeko said in the same cold and calm tone, "I am a family inheritance, a type of albinism, and it is not a terminal disease."
"Eh?!"
"But it's true that you only have one year left to live."
"ah……"
"I lied to you."
"Huh?!!! You guy!"
…
At night, Mao Lilan was walking home with her two children. Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, she took the initiative to find a topic that everyone would be interested in: "Hey, Conan, Xiaojiu~"
Shirai Sakeko raised her head and looked at Xiaolan when she heard the sound, but Kudo Shinichi's reaction was half a beat too slow.
"Do you have anyone you like?" Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at the two children, "I mean, is there anyone you like in school?"
Kudo Shinichi subconsciously denied it when faced with the girl he had liked since childhood, and the fact that he was accompanied by Shirai Sakeko, who knew clearly that she was Kudo Shinichi.
Shirai Sakeko glanced at Kudo Shinichi secretly, indicating that my answer was the same.
"Well~ That's it~" Xiaolan didn't expect the children she had just met to discuss any emotional issues with her, but there were a lot of things that happened tonight, which made her want to talk to the unsuspecting children, "I
But there is someone I like very much~"
Kudo Shinichi showed a sly smile and said half-jokingly: "Hey~ Could it be the brother named Shinichi you were looking for just now~"
Xiaolan looked at Conan in surprise and showed a frank smile, "Yes~"
Kudo Shinichi was stunned: "Huh?" Then he quickly glanced at Shirai Shuko, who was following him silently but staring at him expressionlessly, and suddenly blushed.
Wait, Lan! There is an outsider here! Please do it when it’s just the two of us!
However, Xiaolan didn't know anything and continued: "Xinyi, he has been naughty since he was a child, always confident, and thinks he is an expert in reasoning. But if you encounter an emergency, please ask him, and he will be very reliable.
Become very handsome!"
As if to vent, Xiaolan increased her voice: "I really, really like Shinichi!"
The kid named Conan, who was actually Kudo Shinichi, turned red.
"Ah, but please don't tell Shinichi about this~" After Xiaolan finished speaking, she did not forget to ask the two children to keep it a secret for herself.
What Shinichi can say, I can only be grateful.
"Eh-" Shirai Sakeko's cold voice was like a basin of cold water poured on the already familiar Kudo Shinichi, reminding him that he seemed to have been confessed by Xiaolan in front of his classmates, and his shy mood suddenly rose.
Two levels, with est added at the end. "Sister Xiaolan, are you waiting for brother Shinichi to take the initiative to confess to you?"
"Yes!" Xiaolan didn't have any shyness in front of children, she admitted openly and raised her chin a little proudly, "I'm a girl, no matter what, I can't take the initiative to confess to him.
Hum~"
Seeing Xiaolan like this, Baijiu couldn't help but smile like an aunt, and Shirai Jiuko also had a smile on her face, "Sister Xiaolan is so cute."
"Hey~ How could such a thing happen~" Xiaolan was praised like this by a cute child, and she felt a little shy for a moment.
Kudo Shinichi looked at Shirai Sakeko with great curiosity. In his memory, it seemed like this was the first time Shirai Sakeko smiled. Although the smile was very shallow and fleeting, but even so, it still made him smile.
