I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

"Doctor?" Ayumi called softly.

Recovering the lost memories, Dr. Ali gradually came back to his senses, with a faint smile on his lips.

It seemed that that memory had left a distinct mark on his fifty years of life.

Seeing that the doctor didn't reply, Yuantai on the side stretched out his finger and poked his arm, "Did you find something good?"

"Huh?" Dr. A Li turned his head subconsciously.

Ayumi stretched out her head and looked at it carefully, "Ah, it's the postcard written by a child!"

A blush suddenly appeared on Dr. A Li's round face, which made him look a little cute.

"Could it be that..." Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, he turned away to look at Dr. A Li, and asked sincerely, "Is that a love letter?"

"Ah, no." Dr. Ali quickly rejected it and explained: "This is a postcard given to me by a friend a long time ago."

His eyes slowly fell, and while he was recalling, he began to talk: "It must have been forty years ago..."

"Forty years ago?!" Conan raised his head unexpectedly.

The doctor has been a neighbor for nearly 20 years, and this was the first time he heard about this matter.

"That was when the doctor was in the sixth grade of elementary school." Haibara Ai removed Otoi Hiroshi's big hand from his head and pinched his chin.

"Well," Dr. Ali nodded, "I remember it was just after the summer vacation, the first day of school..."

""Because I was almost late, I took a shortcut instead of taking the usual route. "At this point, Otoi Hiroshi noticed a longing smile on his face, and Dr. Ari continued, "As a result, I saw a junior girl hiding behind a telephone pole with a pale face, not daring to move at all. move. "

"She is a cute girl who wears her hat low, but it still can't hide her big black eyes."

"It seemed like the dog kept barking at her, so she didn't dare to walk past her."

"But that's the Noi family that everyone in the area knows has a big dog, so there's nothing I can do. I can only let her hide behind me and walk over carefully."

"Because I saw she was so scared, so I asked her why?"

"She said it was because she was bitten by her own dog when she was very young, and she didn't like animals very much from then on..."

The doctor gradually told everything, while Conan rested his head on the sofa and listened quietly to his story.

It had been a long time since he'd seen the Doctor look so happy.

Haihara Ai inadvertently put her small hand on Otoi Hiroshi's big hand. After Otoi Hiro noticed it, he turned over his palm and gently pinched her small hand in his palm.

She didn't resist, just cast a confused look.

[Could it be that the girl the doctor mentioned is...]

She wanted to ask when she was in the coffee shop, but was distracted by Otoi Hiroshi's fiery gaze, so she couldn't help but kiss him.

He even had his face smeared with saliva!

Otoi Hiroshi neither nodded nor shook his head, just blinked slightly.

It seems to be the default.

Hui Yuan Ai turned away, not satisfied with his answer. Her slender, white legs poked out from under her skirt, shaking slightly.

However, if the girl in the doctor's memory was really that lady, the doctor would be really happy.

The emotions spanning forty years are deeper than the growth rings of the row of ginkgo trees at the back door of the school.

She slightly bent her eyes and smiled warmly.

"So, the doctor and that girl will go to school together every day?" Ayumi asked with a smile, putting her hands on the sofa.

"Ah, ah, actually..." The doctor's voice was broken.

Everyone who thought he was being shy showed a knowing expression.

"It's only during the autumn period..." The doctor's voice sounded regretful.

"Huh? Only during the autumn period?" Everyone stopped smiling.

Dr. A Li nodded:

"Yes, one rainy morning at the end of November, I was waiting for her to come to school with me at Noi's house as usual."

"But no matter how I waited, she still didn't come..."

"I thought she might have a cold or something, so I went to her house after school to ask what happened in the morning."

"The neighbor told me - she moved out that morning."

"Didn't she even tell the doctor?" Mitsuhiko asked incomprehensibly.

Genta frowned, "I should at least say goodbye."

"Oh no……"

Just when Dr. A Li was about to explain something, Haihara Ai crossed her arms and said, "It must be, it must be that she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

——Because [goodbye] is really a sad word that can hurt each other's hearts. "

"How could it be possible..." Ayumi lowered her head, with a sad look on her face.

Mitsuhiko said incomprehensibly: "But is this right? Just walk away silently without saying anything. It's really sad."

"Actually, the word goodbye has no definition, whether it is expectation or regret. But for a young girl, the definition of goodbye in her mind is more like - never see you again."

Otoi Hiroshi crossed his legs, hugged his chest with his hands, and tapped his fingertips on his arms, "So, the unspoken goodbye also means her last promise."

Seeing that everyone was talking continuously, Dr. Ali finally interrupted when Otoi Hiroshi finished speaking: "Actually...she still left a message to thank me..."

He pointed to the postcard on the table, "That's the postcard I found in my mailbox that day."

Conan picked up the postcard again and read the contents carefully.

"But this postcard doesn't have a stamp on it?" Mitsuhiko noticed.

Otoi Hiroshi looked at the star film in Conan's hand, "She probably threw it directly into the doctor's mailbox before moving."

"Then what? What did she write?" Genta urged.

Conan read:

"Thank you for these three months. I'm really happy to get to know A Li. I don't like to say goodbye, so I'll see you again.

Ten years later today, before the sun goes down, see you in that place full of memories.

If you don't see me, just wait for the next ten years. Even if I become an old woman, I will still wait for you.

So if you are free then, please come and meet me.

——To my favorite, favorite, favorite A Li.

——November 11th, Class A of the fourth year, Kinoshita..."

"The words are too blurry, I can't see clearly..."

Dr. A Li sighed softly, "It must have been wet by the rain when I put the letter in the mailbox."

"Then, did you see me after that? Miss Kinoshita?" Haihara Ai asked quickly.

Although she already vaguely knew the answer, she still couldn't believe why two people who had been waiting for each other hadn't seen each other again for forty years.

"Ah...no," Dr. Ali sweated, "because I really can't think of that place full of memories..."
