Chapter 846 Gotta Hold Back, It'll Scare the Children
Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta went to Doctor Agasa's Car, and Ayumi pulled Haibara Ai into Chi Feichei's Car.
No one object... objected to being suppressed, so no one objected.
After Doctor Agasa locked the Main Gate, the two Cars drove away from the Original Place one after the other.
Haibara Ai and Ayumi sat in the Back Seat, silently playing with Hassashi.
Ayumi was still brewing in her Heart: seize the Opportunity, find a Topic to chat about, and very naturally call out the Appellation 'Ai'...
Chi Feichei, who was driving, Speak Out, "Ai, Ayumi wants to call you Ai directly."
Ayumi was Stunned, "..."
Call... called it out...
"It's okay," Haibara Ai Looked at Ayumi in Doubt, "You can Call me whatever you want."
Ayumi was Surprised, "Really? A... Ai."
Haibara Ai Thought for a moment, like Chi Feichei, not quite Understand the Little Girl's entanglement, But Thought she Should respond, "Ayumi."
Ayumi Smilingly Curved her Eye, happily Say, "It turns out it's that simple, I was still worried you would be angry..."
"Why be angry?" Haibara Ai continued to play with Hassashi, "Sister Ran and the others also directly Call me Ai, But Edogawa and the others can't."
"Why?"
"Anyway, it's just not allowed."
"O-Okay, Ai~"
The Two Girls chatted casually, and after leaving Tokyo, both of them felt sleepy and Nestled in the Back Seat and fell asleep.
In the Beetle Car following closely behind, Mitsuhiko and Genta had been excited for a long time, and also started to feel sleepy.
After the Two Children fell asleep, Conan lowered his voice and Ask, "Hey, Doctor, do you Understand the Intention of that Diary?"
"Diary?" Doctor Agasa was Puzzled.
"It's Mr. Itakura's Diary, the one who was Commissioned by those Black Organization People to develop Software," Conan Say in a low voice, "The content left in white Text in the blank space, and finally that inexplicable sentence 'Let the Resurrection of the Dead'."
"Ah, Correct," Doctor Agasa recalled, "I Don't Know what that sentence represents, But I Know that Woman hates Cats very much."
"Hates Cats?" Conan was Puzzled.
"At that Time, Because Ai suddenly Come Over, we stopped reading," Doctor Agasa explained, "But I Looked afterwards, there is Following Text in that Diary, 'As soon as that Woman Said this, the Cat behind her Call out loudly, and she immediately hung up the Phone Call impatiently', I Think she Should hate Cats very much."
"Your kind of explanation is Not Necessarily Correct, it is Possible that Woman hung up the Phone Call suddenly Because the Cat she raised suddenly Come Over to bother her," Conan Half-Moon Eyes Say, "But, Doctor, you Should Know that Haibara's Father is a Scientist named Atsushi Miyano, right?"
"Atsushi Miyano?" Doctor Agasa recalled for a moment, "I do recognize Doctor Miyano, we met once or twice at the Invention Press Conference..."
Conan's Expression changed slightly, feeling that Doctor Agasa's association with that kind of Person was too Dangerous, "Do you Know that he is a Mad Scientist who was exiled by the Academic Circle?"
"Mad Scientist?" Doctor Agasa recalled in Doubt, "Doctor Miyano is a very Mannerly, straightforward and talkative Person, and he also appreciates my Inventions, But his Wife usually Doesn't Say much, and I Don't Know what she is Thinking in her Heart. I remember her Name is Elena, right?"
"Elena?" Conan Ask further, "Is his Wife a British People?"
"Yes," Doctor Agasa Say, "It is Said that they met when Elena came to Japan from Britain to study abroad. I Unexpectedly that is Ai's Mother."
"So Haibara's Old Mom is British People, no wonder..." Conan Half-Moon Eyes, "I can almost imagine her Old Mom's appearance of being unpredictable and rational and distant."
"Ah?" Doctor Agasa Didn't Understand, "Imagine?"
"Just Look at Haibara and Brother Chi, the Two of them, Saying they are unpredictable, the Two of them are almost the Same," Conan turned on the Teasing mode, anyway, Chi Feichei was driving in Front, he was not afraid of Teasing Summoning Chi Feichei, "No wonder they get along."
Thinking carefully, when Teacher Judy and Chi Feichei Fellow were arguing about 'American People' and 'British People' that Day, what they Said was really reasonable. Looking at Jodie and Chi Feichei's Personalities, they are Two Extremes.
Doctor Agasa Suspected that Conan was launching a Map Cannon, Thought for a moment and Say, "But Hissashi's Mother Looks like she has a very good Personality, Gentle and generous, Elegant and without airs."
"That is Possible Heredity from generation to generation." Conan maliciously Teasing.
Doctor Agasa Glanced at Conan, is Shinichi's Opinion on Hissashi so big behind his back?
Conan also Realized that his Teasing was a A Bit over the top, and turned back to the previous Topic, "Did Doctor Miyano Say to you, what kind of Research he was engaged in?"
"That he Didn't Say... By the Way, Shinichi," Doctor Agasa couldn't help but Ask, "About the Man with a Hoarse Voice mentioned in that Diary, that Night at Kenkyo Station, you really..."
"Uh-huh," Conan Nodded, and Say in a solemn low voice, "That Night I heard the Voice of the Companion who came with Gin, Hoarse as if the Vocal Cords had been Destroyed, once you hear it, you will never forget it again. The Phone Call Mr. Itakura mentioned in his Diary that he received in the middle of the Night Should be from that Person, although it is not clear what the Other Party's Purpose was in Call Mr. Itakura in the middle of the Night to Ask him where he was, But I Think it was Probably to Confirm something, For Example, Confirm whether Mr. Itakura was Lie or whether something happened in the Organization. Vodka Call that Person... Raki!"
That Raki and Gin are simply Crazy, okay? He was hiding in the Locker, the grids of the Locker were so small, and those Two People Actually opened the Cabinet Doors one by one to check.
Although he was hiding in the Cabinet and couldn't See the Outside Situation, Judging from the Sound, if Gin hadn't suddenly given up in the End, that Fellow Code Name Raki would have wanted to continue checking down, he was almost discovered!
"Raki Wine?" Doctor Agasa Thought for a moment, "I remember it is a kind of Anise Wine, compared to most Anise Liqueur, that is a high Alcohol Content Liquor."
"Yes, Probably Last Time..."
Probably Last Time he was caught, he always felt that Person was very Danger.
Before Conan finished Speaking, he Looked up and Discovery that the Red Lexus SC in Front had stopped. The Front of their Car was heading straight towards the Rear of the Lexus Car. He couldn't bother to continue Speaking, and shouted with a drastic Expression, "Doctor! Look at the Front!"
Doctor Agasa slammed on the Brake, causing Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were dozing off in the Back Seat, to hit the Chair Back and shout 'Ah' in Fright.
The Beetle stopped behind the Lexus Car, But the Front of the bus intimately touched the Rear of the bus. Without Looking, one could Guess that the Car Paint Should have been scratched.
In Front, Chi Feichei just got out of the Car and See the whole Process of the Beetle's sudden Brake and rear-end collision.
"What happened?" Mitsuhiko rubbed the big bump that had bulged on his Head, and climbed out of the Car Seat.
Doctor Agasa sweated, and leaned out to Look at Chi Feichei who was walking towards the Car Window.
"There is a Car parked on the Road ahead, blocking the Driveway," Chi Feichei Say.
"We have been parked for a long Time, Brother Hichiji was just about to get out of the Car to find the Car owner of that Car to negotiate," Haibara Ai followed up and Say Speechless, "Why can Doctor still rear-end like this? Weren't you distracted by chatting with everyone?"
Doctor Agasa was told by Haibara Ai, and felt a burst of guilty conscience, and scratched his Head with a dry smile, "Sorry, Hissashi..."
"It's okay, anyway, I will also send the Car for Inspection in a few Days," Chi Feichei Looked at the place where the Two Cars were connected, and Say in a calm Tone, "Probably just scratched a A Bit of Car Paint, now Doctor, please reverse the Car first, and when the Car in Front is moved away, it will be easier to drive."
This Road is a A Bit Slope, being so close at zero distance, when he drives later, the Car will Definitely retreat a A Bit, and then there will be a 'Duang' again.
Doctor Agasa regained his senses and hurriedly started the Car, reversing the Car a distance.
After Genta got out of the Car, he immediately ran to the Front of the Car that blocked the Road, "Wow, what a big Car!"
Mitsuhiko followed, "It Looks great!"
"It Seems to be a Camping Car," Doctor Agasa parked the Car and stepped forward to Look around, "People Should be in the Vicinity."
"But you can't park the Car in this kind of Place and not move at all," Conan Say Speechless, "It's very Danger."
"It Seems that no one is in the Car!" Mitsuhiko leaned on the Driver's Seat Window and Looked inside.
Seeing that Genta still Reach Out and patted the Car Body, Chi Feichei Say in a deep voice, "Mitsuhiko, Genta, come down."
In his previous life, he hated Mischievous Kid who climbed and patted other people's Cars the most.
This bad habit is unacceptable, if you encounter a grumpy Person, you will be taught a lesson in minutes, okay?
Mitsuhiko and Genta were startled by Chi Feichei's deep voice, and obediently left the Car side.
"K-Know... Understood..."
Haibara Ai Looked at the Two People like aggrieved Little Girl, and helped explain, "When the Car owner is not around, it's okay to Look at other people's Cars, But don't do behaviors like climbing and patting. If you break the Car, it will not only cause Troublesome to others, But also Troublesome to Home. You don't want to implicate everyone and your Parents to apologize to others together, right?"
"Consider yourselves sensible!"
A Young Man walked out from the Forest in the Rear, wearing a dark blue Shirt, dyed Blonde Hair, and wearing an Earring on his left ear. He Looked very Trendy, But his arrogant Expression was a A Bit annoying, "If it is broken, you can't afford to pay for it!"
Chi Feichei turned his Head to Look at the Man, his Gaze with a trace of Coldness, and his Tone was Still calm, "Can you please shut up?"
He stopped Genta and Mitsuhiko Because of quality, it has nothing to do with Money. Even if he can afford to pay, he Should not mess with strangers' Cars.
When he was properly teaching Children, someone popped up to distort Children's Values. This kind of Person is the most annoying, wanting to kill...
No, gotta hold back, it'll scare the Children, Killing Intent has to be controlled a A Bit, so as not to emit any Weird Aura Radar Ai.
The Man raised his Eye and made Eye contact with Chi Feichei's Cold Purple Eyes, and froze in place.
Behind him, the Two Young Woman who came with the Man were also startled.
Aside, Doctor Agasa and the Five Children were a A Bit Unexpectedly that Chi Feichei suddenly lost his temper... Although they couldn't See Chi Feichei's Front Face and Didn't Know whether this counted as losing his temper by listening to Chi Feichei's Still calm Tone, But Looking at the Reactions of those Three People, Chi Feichei's Expression Should be very scary, right?
When Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, he quickly concealed the Coldness in his Eye, and Say to the silent Mitsuhiko and Genta, "Quality has nothing to do with whether you can afford to pay or not."
The Man had the Intention to refute something, But when he Thought of the Cold and scary Purple Eyes of this Young Man just now and See the Red Sports Car behind their Car, he decisively remained silent.
The Woman with Short Blonde Hair permed into Wavy Hair regained her senses and hurriedly explained, "Reiji's Words are just too harsh, Because this is the most treasured Car of our Friend..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 847: Tiantang Qinghua of Class C?
The woman spoke, turning her head to ask the girl with long, straight black hair behind her, "Right, Sister Qinghua?"
Tiantang Qinghua remained frozen in place, staring blankly at Chi Feichei.
Those Purple Eyes were rare. Therefore, even though the handsome and fair face in her memory had lost its childishness and become more angular, even though the gloomy and weak feeling in her memory had turned into a calm that subtly carried a coldness, she still recognized him.
She could even clearly remember his name.
Chi Feichei...
The male Student from School who was once rumored to be the Heir of a Large Multinational Corporation.
As the Woman turned her head to ask a question, Chi Feichei also looked towards Tiantang Qinghua.
He remembered that there was another Incident this time. These People were University Classmates. This Woman called 'Qinghua' desperately worked part-time to make Friends and pretended to be a Young Miss from a Rich Family. As a result, she was seen through by the other three People, but the other three People were still discussing how to squeeze dry this fake Young Lady, but they didn't expect Qinghua to overhear their discussion.
During this Camping trip, Qinghua killed one of them out of Resentment, and it was this Blonde Hair Woman who proposed to squeeze Qinghua dry.
Wait, Qinghua...
Tiantang Qinghua of Class C?
Chi Feichei didn't try to recognize the delicate face and the greatly changed Hairstyle and Clothes. He lowered his eyes and saw two side-by-side Black Moles on Tiantang Qinghua's exposed arm, immediately confirming his guess.
It really was his old Classmate from the time when the Original Consciousness was in Elementary School to Middle School.
That School was directly promoted from Elementary School to Middle School. As long as you passed the sixth-grade Exam in Elementary School, you could be promoted to the Middle School Section. It was considered a School famous for its Score in that Area.
But that was a Private School. In addition to the high Tuition Fee, it also couldn't avoid a problem that was not uncommon in Japan—Exclude.
In PE Class, Activity Class, and Home Economics Class, no one was willing to team up with that person. Every time the Teacher repeated the question 'Is there no one?', it would be met with Silence, or they would use methods such as averting their Line of Sight and talking to their Companions to ignore the Teacher and express their resistance to that person.
In Japan's Education, Activities are almost all Collective Activities, and even Holiday Homework may require team Investigation. Being collectively Excluded at School will result in a kind of torment where it's difficult to move an inch.
He remembered that in "Naruto," the Third Hokage said this Sentence: 'Iruka, do you know? When People hate someone and don't recognize their existence, the Gaze People give that person is frighteningly cold.'
The Old Man still hadn't personally experienced that Feeling. It was more than just cold; you could also feel the strong disgust from the bottom of their Hearts. It was more than just Gaze; there was also the fact that no matter where you went, no one would Pay Attention To you, and everyone would disdainfully avoid you.
Then there were also verbal attacks, Pranks full of Malice, and even Violence and Crime.
He couldn't understand. At least in his previous Life, for Classmates who looked different from everyone else, more People were just Curious. And Classmates from poor Family Fortune, who were good-looking, or had good Personalities were likely to be taken care of. This would not become a Reason for being Excluded.
But in Japan, everyone seemed to like finding an 'Outlier' as an Outlet, a Boredom Relief Tool for boredom, and even a Gadget to promote the Affection of small circles.
For Example, Amuro Toru, who was born with dark skin and Blonde Hair, probably had unpleasant History in his Childhood.
For Example, Elena Miyano, who showed concern because of Amuro Toru's specialness, also once told her Husband that she had received unfair treatment because her Appearance was different from everyone else, which was why she cared so much about Amuro Toru in his Childhood.
For Example, the Original Consciousness, who came from a good Family Fortune and had different Eye Color from others.
He could still recall some excessive Words from his Memory.
Hey, your Eyes are really scary...
Your Papa Mama never participate in Activities. Did they Leave you and go find Lovers on their own?
I really have Never seen his Papa Mama...
Haha, an unwanted Child, so pitiful oh...
Children of eight or nine years old, the Words they spoke were like Sharp Blades, specifically stabbing at the most painful Place in People's Hearts. When they knew where to stab to make the Original Consciousness suffer, they would be like wild Wolf who smelled the Bloody Smell, rushing towards that bleeding Place one by one.
He found a Memory. The Boy in Kindergarten who was once protected by the Original Consciousness also turned against him during that Time, adding fuel to the fire and exaggerating the Past Events of the Original Consciousness to others—'The way he stood in front of me at that time, he really looked like an Idiot. He even thought I needed him. I was almost laughing to death...'
The Knife from someone you once thought was a good Friend, stabbing into your Heart is the most painful.
Then, after the Hamster that the Original Consciousness took care of was killed, it ended there.
The Original Consciousness contacted Chi Shinnosuke.
'Father, someone at School is bullying me.'
'Understood, I will handle it.'
After making a Phone Call with Chi Shinnosuke, the Original Consciousness was still disappointed because he didn't get the comfort and encouragement he had imagined. Chi Shinnosuke still hung up the Phone so quickly.
Actually, what Chi Shinnosuke did that night, he could Probably Guess now—
Find People to Communicate well with the Parents of those Children.
According to Chi Shinnosuke's Personality, it was Probably to talk to the Other Party's Parents in the Identity of Parents, talk about the Feeling of being Parents, and Hope that the Other Party would let their Child become Friends with his own Son.
The Next Day, People who had once actively Isolate him began to express their intention to make Friends. Some People even proactively said, 'Let's be Friends.' The Original Consciousness didn't respond, just quietly looked at the Other Party.
The Original Consciousness had his own Pride. He didn't Counterattack against verbal attacks, but the Points that those People seized made him unable to refute. His Parents did seem to have completely abandoned him, but it didn't mean that the Original Consciousness would eagerly choose to reconcile with the Other Party after being bullied.
Although Children are far less realistic than Adults and also care about Face, when other People saw that the Original Consciousness didn't respond, they wouldn't try to curry favor. But everyone could live in peace. Occasionally, they could say a few unimportant Words. No one deliberately Excluded or Isolate him, and no one could be considered close Friends with the Original Consciousness.
After the Original Consciousness Break Away from being bullied, the People of Class A quickly found a substitute, a Transfer Student who was not tall.
Although the Original Consciousness was unwilling in his Heart to make Friends with People who had Isolate him, he still had Sympathy for this Classmate and had Reach Out his Hand.
As Long As the Other Party was willing to accept the Hand Reached Out by the Original Consciousness, then they could also say goodbye to the Life of being bullied, but...
That kid kept buying Snacks and Water for the People who bullied him and tried to curry favor. The Original Consciousness couldn't stand it and Decided to talk to that kid. That kid Actually said: 'Please don't hinder me. I'm trying to integrate into everyone. I don't want to be unable to make Friends with everyone like you.'
The Original Consciousness at that time was: "???"
When that kid was being bullied by People, the Original Consciousness even helped to stop it. As a result, that kid Actually pushed the Original Consciousness away in public: 'Why are you doing this to me? I've been working hard to build good Relationships with everyone for so long, but you ruined it all at once. You just want to make me a Loser who can't integrate into everyone like you, right!'
Facing this Idea of 'You are harming me,' the Original Consciousness again: "???"
Perhaps it was because of Japan's Idea of 'If you can't integrate into the Collective, it's your fault,' while the Original Consciousness was influenced by his Parents to 'Don't be bullied,' so he couldn't understand. Just like he also couldn't understand what that kid was thinking.
The Reason he could recognize Tiantang Qinghua was Because in his Past Memory, Tiantang Qinghua was also a person who was Isolate.
The Original Consciousness was in Class A of Yingming Academy, while Tiantang Qinghua had always been in Class C.
Tiantang Qinghua had a good Personality and a delicate Appearance, but it might be Because her Personality was too good and she was pretty, or it might be Because her Family Condition was not good and she still attended a Private School with expensive Tuition Fee. After entering Middle School, some People Intentionally made her an 'Outlier'.
There were Rumors saying that her Family was poor and that she was also very unhygienic.
In Reality, Tiantang Qinghua had always kept herself very clean and had never violated Hygiene. It was Just that when many Girls would change to a beautiful and trendy New Handkerchief every once in a while, she had always been using the Handkerchief she had been using since Elementary School. It was Just that when many Girls had two Drinking Cups to use in Rotation, she only had that one. It was Just that other Girls changed their Clothes again and again, while she only had a few sets that she repeatedly washed and changed...
Because of these 'Differences,' Tiantang Qinghua was defined as 'dirty,' even though this 'dirty' was just those People's brainwashing Speculation.
The First Time the Original Consciousness noticed Tiantang Qinghua was when Tiantang Qinghua was being blocked outside the Classroom and ridiculed by a few Boys and Girls from Class C, Just Like the Original Consciousness who had been ridiculed in the past.
What are those Things in your Hand? So dirty...
The Original Consciousness glanced at it when passing by.
At that Time, Tiantang Qinghua still had Short Hair and was wearing a white School Uniform. She looked very refreshing, standing in the middle of A Group of People with her head lowered, her delicate Face a little flushed.
Where is it dirty?
This was the First Idea of the Original Consciousness. Probably it was at that Time that the Original Consciousness remembered the two side-by-side Moles on Tiantang Qinghua's arm, and the Impression was very deep.
There wasn't much Intersection between the two Classes. The Original Consciousness didn't know much about Tiantang Qinghua's Matters, but if Tiantang Qinghua didn't have the Idea of asking for Help and only compromised and yielded, then those three years in Middle School would probably not be easy.
Moreover, there is a very strange phenomenon in Japan's Schools. People who have been bullied in Middle School will often be bullied again after going to High School.
'Let me tell you, that person was once the one who was bullied'—this Sentence is like a Switch. Once it is Said, the former Victim will fall into new Isolate again. The best Outcome is to Transfer School and start over in a Place where no one knows them.
When Mouri Ran was in Kindergarten, she was also Isolate and Excluded by other Children Because the Teacher was better to her than to other Children. If it weren't for Suzuki Sonoko, this Loyal Friend, if it weren't for Kudo Shinichi, who fell in love at first sight back then, taking the initiative to accept and Help her, once Mouri Ran was affected, it was unknown whether Belmode's 'Angel' would still exist.
These Children from Teitan Elementary School are special. They don't Exclude Transfer Students, don't Exclude People who are different from them, don't bully other People, and will also proactively accept and Help.
So he Said, 'Ayumi is a good Child.'
Genta and Mitsuhiko are also.
"Sister Qinghua?" The Short Hair Girl saw that Tiantang Qinghua was distracted, Reach Out her Hand and waved it in front of Tiantang Qinghua's Eyes, "What's Wrong?"
"Ah?" Tiantang Qinghua looked towards the Short Hair Girl. Her Hand hanging by her side trembled slightly. The panic in her Heart made her still a little dazed.
Why would she encounter Chi Feichei at this Time...
This person knows that she is not a real Young Lady, knows that she was once the one who was bullied!
"What are you spacing out for? You wouldn't be..." The Short Hair Girl looked towards Chi Feichei, who had also been Staring at Tiantang Qinghua before. She originally wanted to make a few jokes, but was dissuaded by Chi Feichei's Indifference Expression.
"I..." Tiantang Qinghua looked towards Chi Feichei again, holding a glimmer of luck in her Heart.
They hadn't met many times. Every time they just brushed past each other. After High School, they went to different Schools. She had also changed greatly now. Chi Feichei might not be able to recognize her, right?
Perhaps Chi Feichei simply didn't recognize her. As Long As she acted a little more natural...
"Tiantang Qinghua of Class C."
Chi Feichei looked at Tiantang Qinghua with a calm Expression, paused, and said, "Long time no see."
Clearly it was just the Time of a Sentence, but listening to it in Tiantang Qinghua's Ear, it felt as long as several minutes. Her Heart also gradually fell into the abyss.
It was a definite Tone. Chi Feichei actually knew her Name and still remembered her!
Her Impression of Chi Feichei was just 'Young Master from a Rich Family,' 'cold, arrogant, and unsociable,' 'very handsome, but the Girls in Class who secretly liked him didn't dare to Say it,' 'study maniac,' 'Parents' Relationship was not harmonious,' 'disdainful of interacting with other People'... Most of it was hearsay, but she remembered the two times they brushed past each other. The Other Party did have an Indifference and gloomy Expression.
Why could this kind of person recognize her?
Even If he recognized her, with Chi Feichei's arrogant Personality, shouldn't he pretend not to See her and not know her?
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 848 Where is it Dirty?
"Brother Chi, do you know this Older Sister?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously.
"We were in the same School for Elementary School and Middle School," Chi Feichei explained, "but not in the same Class."
"Is that so, Sister Qinghua?" The short-haired Woman intimately linked arms with Tiantang Qinghua, the upward curve of her lips concealing a hint of mockery, "No wonder you were spacing out, so you were old Schoolmates! Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Tiantang Qinghua paused, trying to make the smile she showed seem more natural, "Chi… Chi Feichei, just like he said, we were both Students at Ying Ming Academy before, but he was in Class A, and I was in Class C, um… long time no see."
"Oh? So he's your Old Schoolmate," a hypocritical smile appeared on the short-haired Woman's Face, "You've rarely contacted your old classmates since High School, right? It's really not easy to run into each other!"
"Actually…" Tiantang Qinghua's mind was in chaos, "Because we weren't in the same Class, we didn't have much Intersection, and we weren't very familiar. I'm also surprised that Student Chi recognized me."
Doctor Agasa couldn't help but smile and speak up for Chi Feichei, "Isn't it that Hissashi doesn't really like talking? But he is very attentive to Friends, even if he doesn't say it, he will always keep it in his Heart, and it's the same for classmates, right?"
Tiantang Qinghua gave a very forced smile.
Did this Uncle think she would believe that? And she really didn't want to be kept in Chi Feichei's Heart right now…
"That's right!" Mitsuhiko nodded solemnly, "Brother Chi is just not good at chatting with people, but he's actually a very good person!"
"Is that so…" A hint of envy suddenly arose in Tiantang Qinghua's Heart.
Conan looked at the two of them doubtfully.
Why was there such a strange Atmosphere? Was it awkward chatting because they weren't familiar? Or was it because something had happened in the past?
"Hey, Yasumi!"
In the Open Ground between the trees, a slightly Fat Man wearing a gray Fisherman's Hat called out, "Can you Come Over and help me take a look? I think it's about time to start the BBQ!"
Genta's eyes lit up, "Are the Big Brother and Older Sisters preparing BBQ?"
"Y-Yes…" Tiantang Qinghua tried hard to steady the panic in her Heart and calm herself down as soon as possible.
In order for her Murder Plan to proceed smoothly, she couldn't let other Cars follow behind them later. It would be best to invite these people to travel together, but the thought of being with Chi Feichei made her feel uneasy all over.
She was in Fear, not of Chi Feichei, but of the past she saw through Chi Feichei.
"Sister Qinghua, since they are your former classmates and his Friend, why don't you invite them to join us?" The short-haired Woman smiled, "You haven't seen your former classmates for a long time, have you?"
Genta asked excitedly, "Really?"
Tiantang Qinghua took a deep breath, thinking that she had reached this point and couldn't Dodge it, her smile became a little more natural, "Okay."
A Group of People walked towards the Open Ground together. Although Tiantang Qinghua still couldn't help but avert her Gaze when she saw Chi Feichei, she also By the Way introduced her three Friends to Chi Feichei.
The Man who looked very fashionable and was defined by Chi Feichei as 'deserving a beating for his words' was named Fukuura Reiji, 21 years old.
The short-haired Woman was called Shirafuji Yasumi, 22 years old.
The Fat Person Disguise wearing a Fisherman's Hat and responsible for starting the Fire was called Iiai Takuto, 23 years old.
Including Tiantang Qinghua, the four of them were Members of the same Club at University.
"My School was much simpler, not like your Ying Ming Academy, only Wealthy People can go to School there," Shirafuji Yasumi said enviously as she linked arms with Tiantang Qinghua and walked towards the Grill Rack, "I'm so envious, I also really want to go to that kind of School!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
If Shirafuji Yasumi didn't know that Tiantang Qinghua was a fake 'Young Miss', then saying this would be fine, it would be genuine envy, but Shirafuji Yasumi clearly knew that Tiantang Qinghua's Family Fortune was not good, so saying this was too Yin and Yang.
No wonder Tiantang Qinghua couldn't stand it.
After discovering that someone was not a Young Lady, she could just leave if she didn't want to get along, but while thinking about trying to spend other people's Money, she also had to secretly ridicule them, which was really nasty enough.
Killing Intent flashed in Tiantang Qinghua's lowered Eyes. She used all her Strength to restrain the urge to grit her teeth, raised her Eyes, and her smile was slightly stiff, "Where, it's not that good…"
"You guys have stayed there, of course you Say So," Shirafuji Yasumi looked at Tiantang Qinghua with Expectation, "By the Way, there are many Young Masters and Young Ladies from Groups among your classmates, right? Can you take us to meet them another day? After you went to High School, you haven't introduced us to your Friends from before."
Tiantang Qinghua felt a little flustered in her Heart, "Ah… because many people went abroad after finishing Middle School, so we rarely keep in touch."
Shirafuji Yasumi didn't know why she felt unbalanced in her Heart, a trace of contempt flashed in her Eyes, and she pretended to be a Curious Babies, and asked further, "Then did you often go out to Play together when you were in School? It must have been much more interesting than when we People All went out to Play!"
"No," Chi Feichei looked at Shirafuji Yasumi jumping up and down, and couldn't stand it anymore, and said calmly, "In addition to Japanese and English, you also need to choose one language to minor in among French, German and other Languages, and also Etiquette Class, and there are countless Math Competition and Speech Contest every year, even Club Competition have to compete for first place with other Schools, and there are also Entrance Exam every year. Although the class hours are the Same as other Elementary School and Middle School, the Pressure of Entrance Exam is high, and the self-study classes are basically full, there is no Time to Play."
Tiantang Qinghua said that many classmates went abroad after Middle School, which was true, but what he said was a bit exaggerated. Ying Ming Academy's Requirements were high, and the Scores obtained in various Competitions and Activities were also good, but in a School, there were still inevitably people who just coasted along. If they couldn't get into High School, they would find their Guardians, and their families always had a Method to squeeze them in…
But it was enough to scare Shirafuji Yasumi.
"R-Really…" Shirafuji Yasumi was indeed intimidated, sweating, feeling like she had been overwhelmed by the Presence of a cold and indifferent academic Big Shot, and a Scene of the Teacher staring at her with a cold Face while speaking inexplicably appeared in her mind:
Play what Play? Why don't you hurry up and Study? Are you confident in the Entrance Exam? Are you ready for the Club Competition next month? Have you met the Training Standard? What about the Full Attendance Assessment? Your Score has regressed so much, and you still have Time to Play? Okay, let's have a French Oral Practice Assessment today…
Mitsuhiko and Genta also imagined the Same Scene in their minds.
"H-How scary…" Genta was so Scared by his own imagination that his Face turned Pale.
Mitsuhiko nodded in sweat, "Yeah."
Tiantang Qinghua was stunned in her Heart, but she still smiled Cooperatively, "It's okay."
She remembered that the Pressure of Entrance Exam and Study Pressure were not that high, although Elementary School required choosing a language other than Japanese and English to minor in, but that was just for Knowledge, and many people just treated it as an Interest to learn about, and there was no Exam at all…
It wasn't that there were no serious people, For Example, Chi Feichei.
Maybe the School in the Eyes of academic Big Shots was a bit different from theirs?
After All, Chi Feichei was really studying so hard at that time that he didn't have Time to Play, and he was so serious that it was considered an underperformance if he didn't get first place in any Score.
Shirafuji Yasumi Break Away from the low Air Pressure from Chi Feichei, and used the Topic to talk to Chi Feichei, "Then is Student Chi's family also a big Business?"
"Personal Privacy, inconvenient to disclose." Chi Feichei didn't give any Face at all.
Doctor Agasa sweated, and suddenly Realized that it was not unjustified that Chi Feichei had few Friends, but since Chi Feichei had Said So, he couldn't bring it up to Say, and seeing that Fukuura Reiji's Face showed displeasure, he also felt that Chi Feichei's Attitude was a bit too bad, and quickly helped to interject, "W-Well, I guess so."
Sigh, people were so enthusiastic, he should be a little more enthusiastic in response, and he still needed his Help to smooth things over… It was really too difficult to bring Children, Kid were naughty, and older Children were also not worry-free.
Fukuura Reiji saw that Doctor Agasa had vaguely taken over the Words, and the Words he was about to complain about were also held back.
Tiantang Qinghua sweated in her Heart, and became more and more convinced that Big Shots were difficult to get along with.
Shirafuji Yasumi didn't continue to make a fool of herself. After All, there was an Imposter Young Lady in front of her, and she didn't even know whether Chi Feichei was a Wealthy People or not. She maintained her Polite Attitude, and didn't Offend People. She could talk about it later, "Then what Language did you minor in? Can you Say a few Words and let me Listen To them? I'm so Curious."
Chi Feichei didn't Speak Out to Pay Attention To her anymore. He wasn't a Clown, and they weren't familiar with each other, so why should he go to Performance?
Tiantang Qinghua patiently said two sentences in French, her pronunciation was clear and round, and very Standard.
She worked very hard when she was in School, not as good as Chi Feichei, the Study Mad, but she wanted to use good Scores to Remedy her shortcomings compared to others.
Doctor Agasa exclaimed in surprise, "Very Standard!"
Tiantang Qinghua was a little embarrassed, "You flatter me."
Shirafuji Yasumi originally wanted to use this to make fun of Tiantang Qinghua, but she was rebuffed. She was unwilling to accept that Tiantang Qinghua's complimented spoken Language was completely incomprehensible to her, but in her Heart, Tiantang Qinghua was inferior to her. She asked with a smile, "By the Way, what does the old Man do?"
"O-Old Man?" Black Lines on Forehead appeared on Doctor Agasa's Face, "I'm only in my fifties this year, I'm not that old yet, right?"
Kid had no Deception, and only felt that the current chatting Atmosphere was very good, and the short-haired Older Sister was very enthusiastic.
"Doctor is an Inventor!" Mitsuhiko reported Doctor Agasa's Profession for him.
Ayumi smiled, "It's Because he used to stay up late for Research too much, so he looks older, right."
Doctor Agasa felt an Arrow in his Chest, and scratched his Head with a dry laugh, "Hey hey, do I look that old…"
Haibara Ai reminded in a clear and Cold voice, "It's best not to stay up late in the future."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Yes, yes.
"So he's an Inventor," Shirafuji Yasumi was still unwilling to give up, her Eyes full of Expectation, "What kind of Inventions do you have?"
Chi Feichei was speechless.
Give up, stop asking.
Although Doctor Agasa liked to Research some weird Things, he still had Inventions that had obtained Patents, and more than one Invention.
Besides, Doctor's Uncle and Aunt were Wealthy People, and his own family was not bad to begin with. He had been researching and squandering money for so many years, and if he disagreed, he would spend Money to take Children out to Play, and he had never seen him have Financial Deficit like Mori Detective Agency.
Shirafuji Yasumi was just asking for trouble, the more she asked, the more she was slapped in the Face. Taking these five Kid next to him For Example, there was not a single one that could allow Shirafuji Yasumi to find a sense of superiority…
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 849: Chi is Always Like This
Arriving at the grill, Genta peered at the meat just placed on the grill rack, his eyes lighting up, "It's all expensive meat!"
Shirafuji Yasumi followed and explained to Iiai Takuto, who looked over in confusion, "This is Sister Qinghua's classmate from Elementary School and Middle School, Chi Feichei. He's camping with these Children and that old man. Unexpectedly, they ran into Sister Qinghua, what a coincidence! So I asked them if they wanted to join us, since we prepared a lot of meat anyway!"
Tiantang Qinghua smiled and nodded.
Hissashi didn't react.
Shirafuji Yasumi was a year older than Tiantang Qinghua, yet she called her 'Sister' so readily. This Woman was something else.
Compared to the lively three real Children, Conan remained silent, a hint of doubt in his eyes as he lowered his head in thought.
Strange, he always felt the atmosphere between Hissashi and this Miss Tiantang was stiff. He couldn't see anything from Hissashi's side, but this Miss Tiantang seemed very nervous. Apart from the initial blank stare, she repeatedly avoided Hissashi's Line of Sight afterwards, looking to the other side...
Uh, could it be another Girl who's been deceived by Black-Hearted Hissashi's appearance?
Haibara Ai also pondered in silence.
It didn't feel like the ambiguousness of romance or unrequited love. Tiantang Qinghua gave her a feeling more like unease... Is her Brother Chi that scary?
Looking up at Hissashi's indifferent face, Haibara Ai felt even less inclined to speak.
Every Miss who can take the initiative to express her feelings to Hissashi is a very courageous and praiseworthy Girl!
"But..." Iiai Takuto hesitated to remind, "That extra meat was prepared for dinner..."
"Don't be so stingy!" Shirafuji Yasumi interrupted, "If there's not enough for dinner, we can borrow money from Sister Qinghua and go down the Mountain to buy more, right, Sister Qinghua?"
"Yes," Tiantang Qinghua bent down and smiled at Genta and the other Children, "You don't have to be polite, eat together."
Doctor Agasa scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "We also prepared some Food Ingredients in the Car. If there's not enough food for dinner, we can use ours."
"You're too kind!" Shirafuji Yasumi said with a smile.
Although this Open Ground was a Rocky Beach, the Stone Blocks were rounded, and beside it was a Stream of clear Stream Water flowing slowly.
It was evident that this Stream was originally larger in scale, perhaps a Large River, or a Pond. The water flow had rounded the Rocks, and then the water volume slowly decreased, leaving behind this Stone Beach.
The grill rack and stove were set up on the Stone Beach, not far away were the Road and a row of Forest sheltering from the wind, and a large Grassland where tents could be set up.
This was a nice Campsite.
A Group of People sat on the ground around the grill rack. When Shirafuji Yasumi proposed camping together at night, Doctor Agasa also agreed as a representative.
Doctor Agasa was also helpless. The three Children were eating heartily, Hissashi sat aside eating silently with his head down, even Shinichi and Ai were like they had been infected with autism, not saying a word. Apart from him, no one cared where to set up the tent at night.
Bringing Children is really not easy.
Tiantang Qinghua and the other three chatted, also handling the noisy questions from Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.
Doctor Agasa sighed, "So you are Companions from the University Outdoor Life Club!"
"Yes," Fukuura Reiji nodded, "When we have time, we climb mountains and go out to the Sea together."
Iiai Takuto chimed in, "We even went Overseas to Hawaii together!"
Hissashi raised his Eyes and Looked at Iiai Takuto.
Iiai Takuto: "..."
Did he, did he Say something wrong? Why was he Staring at him coldly?
Hissashi quickly withdrew his Line of Sight and continued eating barbecue.
It was nothing, he was just wondering if These People had learned any Skills in Hawaii.
Shirafuji Yasumi didn't notice that her Little Friend was a bit Stunned by Hissashi's Glance. She smiled and turned to flatter Tiantang Qinghua, "This is all thanks to Sister Qinghua's sponsorship!"
"It's not like that," Tiantang Qinghua felt like Thorns were pricking her all over, but she still maintained her composure, "Yasumi is good at Cuisine, Reiji can drive, Iiai is good at picking wild vegetables and Wilderness fishing. Compared to them, I don't have any special Skills, so I have to support everyone with Money."
"'I'm a Rich Family Young Lady who can't do anything, all I can do is support everyone with Money.' If I had the Opportunity, I'd like to Say that once too," Shirafuji Yasumi finished with a Sigh, clasping her hands together, then pointed at Fukuura Reiji with her Chopsticks, and teased, "You're really suffering being with this Fellow Reiji."
Fukuura Reiji used the Can of Beer in his hand to block Shirafuji Yasumi's Chopsticks, his Face a little uncomfortable, "Can you stop being so long-winded?"
Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight and lowered her head to eat.
So she already has a Boyfriend...
"Older Sister is also a Young Lady from a Rich Family?" Genta Looked at Tiantang Qinghua, and the image of Suzuki Sonoko popped into his mind.
"It's not surprising," Mitsuhiko said seriously like a little adult, "Sister Tiantang and Brother Chi are in the same School. I heard my Mother mention Yingming Academy, it's a Private School with very high Tuition Fee."
Conan gave a Half-Moon Eyes look. When it came to 'Friends of Rich Family Young Lady', he thought of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, but was there really no Problem with the Relationship between These People?
Hissashi continued to eat silently. That School was not 'Yingming' at all.
Tiantang Qinghua saw that Hissashi didn't seem interested in exposing her, and breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart. She smiled weakly at Mitsuhiko and Genta.
Haibara Ai had eaten almost enough, opened a Herbal Tea, and turned to Ask Conan beside her, "What's Wrong with you? You haven't spoken since just now, and you haven't eaten much."
"It's nothing, I'm always like this..." Conan picked up a piece of barbecue, his Face was written all over with the four Characters 'Miserable and Unhappy'.
"Huh?" Haibara Ai Stared at Conan in Doubt.
Something was very Wrong.
Hissashi had eaten almost enough, also opened a Herbal Tea, and Looked at Conan.
Has the Famous Detective learned to be Tsundere?
Conan was made helpless by the two's Gaze. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Hissashi. He Got Up and sat down between Haibara Ai and Hissashi, and said in a low voice, "I remembered something. Ran Older Sister used to refuse Sonoko Older Sister's Proposal to go skiing. I Asked her, and she Said she didn't have any Pocket Money. I Said that Sonoko Older Sister could pay for it, but she seriously told me that it was absolutely not okay, she and Sonoko are Best Friends for a Lifetime."
Saying that, Conan raised his Eyes and Looked at Hissashi, "So, These People only use polite Appellation for the Young Lady from a Rich Family, and shamelessly exploit her Money. This is not Friendship at all, Brother Ike, shouldn't you remind your former Classmate?"
Hissashi didn't Look at Conan again, and lowered his head to drink Herbal Tea.
Conan: "..."
Isn't he going to give him an answer?
Haibara Ai felt a Headache and Asked Hissashi, "Then Hissashi Brother, what about you? What's going on between you and Miss Tiantang?"
"There's nothing between me and her."
Hissashi took another sip of Herbal Tea.
There was nothing between him and Tiantang Qinghua, but they both had a past they didn't want to mention.
He didn't want Others to know, Because he didn't need Other's Sympathy or Pity. For him, that was Shame, very Lose Face.
Conan and Haibara Ai Looked at Hissashi in Doubt, waiting for the Following Text.
"I probably... Know what she's thinking." Hissashi finished speaking softly, put the half-finished Can of Beverage beside his Hand, Got Up and Said to Others, "I'm going over there to smoke."
Tiantang Qinghua had been Isolated and bullied Because of her poor Family Condition. She probably felt that as long as she was regarded as a Rich Person, she could make Friends smoothly.
This Woman actually still had that traditional Ideology of 'must integrate into the circle, otherwise it's failure', stupid.
What kind of Friends are these? If it were him, he would rather be alone until death than be Friends with that kind of Person.
"Hey?" Iiai Takuto was a little surprised to see Hissashi leave directly.
Fukuura Reiji was also Stunned for a moment, "Does he dislike us?"
"Ah, no..." Doctor Agasa wanted to explain for Hissashi.
"Chi Classmate is always like this," Tiantang Qinghua Looked at Hissashi's Figure as he left, "I heard that his Parents went Overseas very early, I think it's probably Because of this that he didn't like to talk much in Middle School..."
"You're paying too much attention to Others, I'll be Jealousy!" Fukuura Reiji joked.
"No, I just..." Tiantang Qinghua didn't know how to explain.
There were Classmates in the Class who had a crush on Hissashi, but she had never thought about it.
They were originally People from two different Worlds. At that time, she just wanted to find a Friend who was more ordinary and could accept her.
"Okay, okay, I'm just joking with you," Fukuura Reiji said indifferently, "You are Old Schoolmates who haven't seen each other for a long time, it's normal to pay attention!"
Shirafuji Yasumi smiled and flattered, "Haha, it seems that our Young Miss Qinghua's Personality is Better."
"Actually, Brother Chi is a very good Person!" Mitsuhiko couldn't help but speak up for Hissashi.
"Yes, yes~" Shirafuji Yasumi responded with a smile, not wanting to argue with a Child.
She didn't know if these Children were used to it, or didn't notice Hissashi's cold Gaze when he Looked at Fukuura Reiji before. She didn't think Hissashi was an easy Person to get along with.
She didn't try to build a Relationship with Hissashi, this suspected Rich Family Child, also Because she could tell at a Glance that Hissashi's Personality was very difficult to 'conquer'.
"By the Way, Sister Qinghua, can you tell us about Brother Chi when he was in School?" Ayumi Looked at Tiantang Qinghua with Expectation, "I'm very Curious, but I'm too embarrassed to Ask Brother Chi, and he hasn't taken the initiative to Say it."
"Ah, this... We weren't in the same Class, we didn't have much Intersection," Tiantang Qinghua told the truth, this she didn't need to Lie, "So I just heard about him, I don't Know much about him. I didn't expect him to recognize me."
"Then in the School Rumor, what kind of Person was Brother Chi?" Mitsuhiko was also very Interested in Hissashi's past.
Conan Looked at Tiantang Qinghua. Thinking carefully, since knowing him for so long, Hissashi had never taken the initiative to Say anything about himself. Even 'Yingming Academy' where he used to go to School was only heard today.
Tiantang Qinghua didn't Know how to describe it, and said hesitantly, "It's probably like Present..."
With Hissashi as the Topic, the two Groups of People chatted back and forth.
Chatting with the Children, Tiantang Qinghua gradually relaxed her Mental State. Hearing Ayumi Say that Hissashi graduated from Todai University's Department of Veterinary Medicine, she was a little Sigh, "Early Graduation? His Score in Middle School was very good, Early Graduation is not surprising, but I didn't expect him to become a Veterinarian, I thought he didn't like Small Animals..."
"Doesn't like Small Animals?" Haibara Ai joined the Gossip army.
"Yes," Tiantang Qinghua recalled, "I remember that in Elementary School, each of our Classes raised Small Animals. In Middle School, it became three Classes raising Animals together, but every time it was Chi Classmate's turn to be on duty, he wouldn't go. When the Teacher organized three Classes to clean the Rabbit Hutch or Hamster House together, he was always absent too."
"How could that be..." Ayumi felt Unexpectedly, "I always Think Brother Chi likes Small Animals very much."
Haibara Ai Turn Head and Looked at Hissashi standing in front of the Forest smoking, "Perhaps Brother Hissashi doesn't like Rabbits and Hamsters."
Conan laughed dryly, that Fellow wasn't very friendly to Rabbits either, like Spicy Rabbit Head or something.
"It seems Brother Chi likes Hassashi more!"
"Because Hassashi is very cute!"
"And Hassashi is very good at Game, I also like Hassashi!"
"Hassashi?"
Chapters 846 and 847 have been Revised and are waiting to be released...

(End of Chapter)
Chapter 850: Ran Away with Someone Else's Girlfriend
After the meal, Tiantang Qinghua finally met Hissashi, who was described by the Children as 'very cute, very powerful, and very well-behaved'.
Chi Feichei sat by the Streamside, watching over Hissashi swimming happily in the Stream.
Tiantang Qinghua and the others quietly moved away, watching the five Children playing with Hissashi by the Streamside, feeling that these Children's understanding of 'cute' was different from Normal Person.
Chi Feichei went to set up his Tent, and seeing that the Children didn't need his Help, he sat back by the Streamside, took out his Mobile Phone to look at Data, occasionally Check the White Mouse's Surveillance Camera, or send an Email.
Hissashi lay on the Round Stone beside him, sunning his belly. Sensing Haibara Ai coming over, he lazily spoke out to remind him, "Master, Ai is here."
Chi Feichei turned off the White Mouse Surveillance Camera and cleared the Email he had sent to Belmode, then turned his Head to Look Towards Haibara Ai walking over.
Haibara Ai walked to Beside Chi Feichei, Looked at the Stream Water for a while, and found that Chi Feichei had withdrawn his Line of Sight again and was Staring at his Mobile Phone playing Game, feeling Speechless, "Aren't you going to play with everyone?"
Actually, she wanted to Ask if Chi Feichei was in a bad Mood, but she couldn't bring herself to Ask. She thought that Standing Beside Chi Feichei for a while might arouse Chi Feichei's Interest in confiding.
In the end...
She was overthinking it. She couldn't outlast Brother Hichiji.
Chi Feichei Turn Head Looked, Tiantang Qinghua and the others were having a great time playing with the three real Child, making faces and taking Ugly Photo, riding Bicycle, picking up Firewood, and moving Rock to weigh down the Tent. Speechless, he withdrew his Line of Sight, "Childish."
Haibara Ai: "..."
A very impolite comment, although she also thought so.
"I'm waiting for Heaven to come find me."
Chi Feichei continued to Look at his Mobile Phone.
If Tiantang Qinghua was willing to Come Over to find him and Ask him not to expose her Secret, then he would agree, and he would also be happy to chat with Tiantang Qinghua.
If she doesn't Come Over... then forget it.
Haibara Ai turned her Head in Doubt to Look at the Place where A Group of People were playing, and found that Tiantang Qinghua really walked over with Worries, tentatively Asked, "Should I step aside for a moment?"
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei indicated his approval.
Haibara Ai: "..."
She was Curious... If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have Test. She should have learned from Edogawa, pretended she didn't exist, and stood beside them to listen openly and honestly.
After Tiantang Qinghua waited for Haibara Ai to leave, she walked to Beside Chi Feichei and hesitantly spoke, "Classmate Chi..."
Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone, picked up Hissashi and Get Up, and Say to Tiantang Qinghua, "Take you for a drive."
"Huh?" Tiantang Qinghua blankly agreed, "Okay."
Chi Feichei took the Key from Tiantang Qinghua, moved the RV that was blocking the way, opened his Red Lexus SC, and after waiting for Tiantang Qinghua to get in the Car, he floored the Throttle.
Fukuura Reiji, who was riding a Bicycle on the Roadside, heard the Movement of the Car roaring, looked up in Doubt, and saw the Red Sports Car speeding away along the Road. He was stunned for a moment, Turn Head and Looked around, but didn't find his Girlfriend's figure, "Hey, Qinghua, she..."
"They just left like that?" Shirafuji Yasumi's Expression was very interesting.
Doctor Agasa and five Child stood there blankly.
Yes, Chi Feichei ran away with someone else's Girlfriend... ran away...
Iiai Takuto Looked at Fukuura Reiji, wanting to Say something to ease the awkwardness, but seeing Fukuura Reiji's ugly Face, he remained in Silence.
"Uh," Doctor Agasa Scratch Head, "I think they should have suddenly gone to buy something."
Iiai Takuto laughed dryly, "Shou- Should be, right."
Genta pointed out the Problem with a face full of Doubt, "But the Convenience Store is at the Foot of the Mountain, and they went in the Direction of going up the Mountain!"
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Why doesn't this Child understand that he is trying to ease the awkwardness?
Fukuura Reiji tried hard to make his Face Look a little more natural, "Maybe they haven't seen each other for too long and wanted to go for a drive. Anyway, I'll Call Qinghua later to Ask!"
Conan sized up Fukuura Reiji, frowning.
His own Girlfriend didn't even Say hello, got in a Car with a classmate of the opposite sex and went to the Mountain, and he wasn't even familiar with that Man. If it were him, he would definitely Call immediately to Ask what was going on.
As a result, Fukuura Reiji Seemingly only felt awkward and wasn't in a hurry to Call and Question... Is there really no Problem with this Couple's Relationship?
...
On the Mountain Road, a Car sped by, without slowing down even when turning a corner. A Drifting maneuver swept past, like a fiery Red Light and Shadow under the Sunshine.
In the Car, Chi Feichei freed a Hand and pressed the lift Switch on the Car Top.
The Car Top retracted backwards, and the wild Wind also poured into the Car.
In the Passenger Seat, Tiantang Qinghua held one Hand tightly by her leg, and the other Hand gripped the Seatbelt on her body, feeling the fine Sweat Bead seeping from her Forehead being dried by the Wind, squinting her Eyes and Staring at the Road ahead.
Although she felt it was impossible, she couldn't help but suspect that Chi Feichei wanted to drag her into a high-speed Car Suicide...
When they reached Mid-Mountain, Chi Feichei slowed down, parked the Car on the Roadside, got out of the Car and walked to the Guardrail Side, took out a Cigarette Case, and took out a Cigarette.
Tiantang Qinghua Reach Out to tidy up her Long Hair that had been ruffled by the Wind, looked up at Chi Feichei, remained in Silence for a moment, and pretended to be relaxed Say, "Why did you suddenly Think of taking me for a drive?"
Chi Feichei lit the Cigarette, Looked at Tiantang Qinghua, Subconsciously trying to seize the initiative in the conversation, and instead of answering, he Asked, "Don't you have something to Say? It's quiet enough here."
Tiantang Qinghua felt that her Secret was completely exposed under those emotionless Eyes. She took the lead in shifting her Line of Sight and Look Towards the distant Mountain Wilderness, "You should know, I'm not some Young Miss, I was just pretending to be wealthy to deceive them, so... Thank You for not exposing me before. If you want to Joke about me, I have nothing to Say, but I Hope you don't tell others."
Chi Feichei listened while smoking the Cigarette, and then Speak Out, "They already know."
Tiantang Qinghua froze, her Heartbeat began to Accelerate.
Of course she knew that those three already knew, but why did Chi Feichei...
"When Shirafuji Yasumi was pulling you aside to talk, the smile on her Face was a fake smile, or rather, not a smile of Enthusiasm and happiness," Chi Feichei turned on his calm Analysis mode, "A person's smile is not just the Action of the lips turning upwards, but also the Face Muscle activity. A smile that expresses pleasant Emotion will have a greater range of Face Muscle activity, while a sneer or mocking smile will have more obvious corner-of-the-mouth movements. Although she deliberately curved her Eyes when she smiled, her Face Muscle activity was not significant. Such a smile will appear stiff. Of course, it's not ruled out that she was unhappy in her Heart but still intentionally trying to please you, but several times in what she Say, she was deliberately poking at your guilty conscience, as if she was watching you Acting, with an inner sense of Triumphant self-satisfaction at seeing through everything, and also sarcasm towards you..."
Tiantang Qinghua: "..."
Uh-huh, the feeling of a top student is coming.
"Fukuura Reiji also knows the Secret you want to hide. When we were having BBQ, he told Shirafuji Yasumi not to be long-winded, seemingly because he couldn't stand Shirafuji Yasumi Say you were too good for him, but their interaction was very Subtle. They exchanged Gaze in the middle. Shirafuji Yasumi was disdainful and indifferent, while Fukuura Reiji, in addition to dissatisfaction, also felt embarrassed. In Other Words, he was actually reminding Shirafuji Yasumi to restrain herself a little when speaking, not to stimulate you anymore, or reminding Shirafuji Yasumi to be Careful when speaking, not to be seen through by you," Chi Feichei Say, "Neither of them are sincerely making Friend with you. Even that Little Boy wearing Glasses has noticed. People who truly cherish Friendship will not let Money be mixed into Friendship, will not flatter someone just because they are rich, and even less will they use a Friend's Money without restraint. Between Friends, if one party thinks, 'My Friend is rich, so I can spend it casually, and if I don't have any, I'll Ask her to supply Money,' then Friendship will definitely not last long."
Tiantang Qinghua: "..."
Can you see through it any more?
"Actually, I also Think Fukuura Reiji is not worthy of you. You also heard what he Say when the Children bumped into your Car in the morning. This kind of Man who bullies others and has no tolerance is not to be wanted," Chi Feichei Say, "And Shirafuji Yasumi is a hypocritical, arrogant Woman who schemes against people but has no depth and can't help but be Triumphant. She just treats you as an ATM (Metaphorical), and she's still scheming against you with Fukuura Reiji. It's best to stay away from these two people."
Tiantang Qinghua: "..."
Okay, it's already too transparent, and very Venomous Tongue, not at all subtle.
"Before, Iiai Takuto was still Considering the Problem of not having enough Food Ingredients for dinner, which shows that Subconscious he doesn't want to exploit you, but he didn't Ask about some of the strangeness of the other two," Chi Feichei Say, "If he's not too stupid, then he already knows the thoughts of the other two, but he just won't Speak Out. This is a Man who has no opinions and is used to going with the flow, but he has no bad intentions. If you can accept these Weakness of his, you can make Friend."
Tiantang Qinghua suddenly lowered her Head and chuckled, then softly Say, "Classmate Chi is really amazing. Yes, they already know..."
Recently, after finishing her Part-time Job, she returned to School early. She originally wanted to go to the Club to find the other three people, but she heard those three people discussing her behind her back—
"Hey? Don't you guys still Don't Know? She's not some Young Miss from a Rich Family at all," Shirafuji Yasumi shared Triumphant, "I noticed something was wrong a long time ago. I secretly Tracking her, and indeed, she lives in an Old Apartment!"
"So, I've been deceived for four years?" Fukuura Reiji was surprised.
"In that case, it's Better to explain it to her clearly and tell her not to Lie," Iiai Takuto Say, "Aren't you her best Friend, Yasumi?"
"It's just for Money! Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to pretend not to know for four years. It's very Hard to watch her Acting and hold back my laughter! And if we tell her and get Retaliation, what if she demands the Money we spent before back?"
Shirafuji Yasumi's Words made her tremble all over Outside the Door, not knowing whether it was more Anger, or more shock and sadness.
"I Think she shouldn't be that kind of Person." Iiai Takuto was still speaking up for her.
Shirafuji Yasumi didn't care much, her voice full of sarcasm, "Reiji, you're really unlucky to have set your sights on such an Imposter."
"Ah, how depressing. Say goodbye to her immediately after Graduation..."
"Then before Graduation, let's try to squeeze dry our wealthy Miss Qinghua as much as possible!"
...
After Tiantang Qinghua finished Say what she had heard, she gritted her teeth, "After Middle School Graduation, I wanted to Break Away from my previous Life and wanted Friend, so I transferred School and changed to a High School, pretending to be a Rich Person. I met Yasumi, Reiji, and Iiai. I thought they were treating me sincerely. In order to maintain my Affection with them, I worked really Hard behind the scenes. I had to desperately do Part-time Job Making Money, and sometimes I even secretly borrowed Money, just to take them to play in the Mountain and Sea. I don't have any special skills. I thought this was what I could do for everyone, but I Unexpectedly didn't expect them to Think like that behind my back!"
Chi Feichei listened in Silence.
He believed that Tiantang Qinghua was not Lying. She was just pretending to be a Rich Person in order to make Friend. If it was for Arrogance and bossing people around, Tiantang Qinghua wouldn't have such a gentle appearance, and would have long been bossy towards others.
The appearance of Tiantang Qinghua in front of him was somewhat different from the Girl in his Memory. She had shiny and smooth center-parted black Long Hair. Her gray-purple lotus leaf collar sleeveless shirt was similar in Style to Haibara Ai's Red sleeveless shirt. It was a high-priced Luxury Goods launched by Fielder, and her Jeans and Belt were also foreign Big Brand...
But no matter how much her appearance Transformation, her essence was still the same as back then, just as soft and without any temper.
