I have never spoken

"Your complexion has improved a lot. It seems that Angel must have taken good care of you."

"Yes. You have also eaten the egg porridge she cooked. I eat it every day."

Winter has come to an end, but the temperature has not yet warmed up.In such a cold temperature, if the two meet in a coffee shop, it may be a very common thing.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat at the same table and took out their respective computers to start working. Shiho would occasionally ask some weird questions about medicine, but Shinichi could also answer a little bit.

Sure enough, he is an all-rounder.Shiho curled his lips boredly.

Shinichi's case seemed to involve a temple fair. He read the unrelated fragments of clues to Zhibao, but Zhibao couldn't think of any clues. Instead, it brought back their memories of the temple fair that year.

"At that time, I guessed right about one-third of your wish. What is the remaining two-thirds?"

"..." Shinichi still didn't take his eyes off the computer screen, "You always have a secret shield, and I'm going to tell you all about it, it's too unfair, I refuse to answer."

Zhibao didn't ask any more questions, he lowered his head and drank the last sip of coffee, then continued typing on the keyboard.

Xinyi called the waiter and ordered an extra pot of Blue Mountain, not many sugar cubes.

Zhibao raised his head slightly in astonishment: "Why has the taste changed?"

"It's for you, idiot." Shinichi propped up his chin playfully. "I should remember your taste correctly?"

Zhibao didn't answer any more, her heartbeat was a little slow, she could only continue to work on the computer to cover it up.Until sunset, Shinichi was going home and asked if he wanted to give her a ride.

She shook her head, and Baima Tan would come to pick her up later.

"By the way..." Shinichi hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth. "On my birthday next year, I'm going to get married..."

Zhibao opened his pupils slightly, and looked at him in disbelief.

"Hmm... Even Hattori doesn't know about this matter, you are the first person to know about it." The more Shinichi talked, the more he felt guilty, and his words lacked confidence.

"Oh." Zhibao immediately smiled. "I am so honored? If I tell the media, I will definitely make a lot of money?"

"...What I want to say is that I hope you can play a piece with me at the wedding. Piano and violin ensemble."

"Play an ensemble piece for a Maori girl? It's a good idea. She will be so moved that she wants to jump into the river for you to show my eternal heart, but my piano skills are limited, so you should find someone else." Zhibao refused in one breath.

I don't even want to go to your wedding, you still want me to play with you, you are cruel.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you." The only remaining coffee in the new pot was poured into Shiho's cup. "It's just that, after thinking about it, the only person I have the best understanding with is you. If the person who plays with me is not you, no matter how the finished product is, I will feel imperfect—and what I hate the most is imperfection Stuff. You know."

I know.

You really have a deep affection for Mao Lilan.Even the episode at the wedding must be perfectly presented.

But... Since I caused her pain back then, now I just played a piano piece at her wedding, so let's take it as atonement.Maybe after playing it, my heart can be completely cleared up with Mao Lilan.Even though Mao Lilan didn't know that the culprit was me, I still couldn't forgive myself.

Zhibao took the piano score given by Shinichi, flipped through two pages, looked up at Shinichi again, and nodded slightly.

"Contact again." Xinyi picked up the computer and left the coffee shop as he spoke, and met Tan Baima who got off the limousine at the door.

After the two greeted each other, they passed by.Xinyi drove home, the scenery outside the window couldn't help receding, and his heart was like a mess.

Why bother Kudo Shinichi.It's just because she's afraid she won't come.Just come up with such a so-called ensemble.

Why bother.

Is this a choice?

Abandoning what he loves and choosing what he should choose did not bother Miyano nor hurt Lan.Everyone was happy to make this seemingly great but utterly selfish decision.It seems to be the best way to do this.

Perhaps he was the only one suffering.

After he got home, he made an overseas call to tell his parents about the engagement.Yukiko and Yusaku said that they would inform Shinichi after discussing the time to return home, and that Yukiko would help with the wedding.Dad is very happy, but mother is a little... strange.

"Xinyi... I always feel that your decision is a bit inappropriate." You Xizi snatched the phone. "What did you do with that girl who kept staring at you?"

"Dispose of..." The new pair of mothers felt a little horrified in their words. "She and I are just friends, what should we do?"

"She likes you, you are so dull." You Xizi was mad on the other end of the phone.

"Nonsense." Xinyi increased his volume and accentuated his tone: "She already has a boyfriend. Mom, don't talk nonsense."

"Ah, what are you doing so excited..." Yukiko rubbed her ears that were hurt by the volume. "My judgment is not wrong. She must like you. Believe it or not, you have decided to never separate from Lan. When you regret it later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Yes Yes Yes."

After a long time, when Xinyi recalled that phone call, he couldn't help but sigh how powerful a woman's sixth sense is.

sorry.

It's too late.

"...What an idiot..." Zhibao tightly grasped a corner of the piano score.

"What is this?" Tan Baima appeared from behind her, putting his hands on his shoulders.

"I want to know what this is..." Zhibao was slightly annoyed, he stuffed the music score into his priceless satchel, Tan Baima put away his computer, and the two left the cafe.

Shiho didn't forget to drink the coffee that Shinichi made for her, even though it was already cold.

It's so hard.In the car, Tan Baima questioned him, and Zhibao slowly told the story of that person's getting married, and he didn't forget to add details about how wonderful the new couple were, and how romantic the wedding was.

She was not calm, Baima detective rarely saw her so excited.

Sure enough, as long as you get involved with that person, you will become another person.

When she got home, it was the first time that she was so rude without saying goodbye to Tan Baima and walked in the house and sat down in front of the piano.The piano has not been touched for a while, and both the fingers and the keys are much stiffer.

Spread out the score, it is Paganini's "Bell".In fact, the main theme is still the violin, and the piano is just its accompaniment.

However, without a steel accompaniment, the sound of the violin will be dry.No matter how skilled the player is, the tune will not be too pleasant.

But without the violin, this piano is nothing.

Really well-intentioned.Shiho smiled wryly.Touching the keys, fingertips pressed hard, the chords were thrown from the piano, hitting every corner of the room.

Maybe it hit the heart too.

Otherwise, why would my heart hurt so much.

Why are you so cruel and don't even give me a chance to abscond.Why do I have to witness you becoming someone else's spouse.

Since it is destined that you cannot stay for me, then why do you have to promise me something.

"Shinichi. I haven't heard from Conan and Ai for a long time." Lan said at the dinner table.

"Hmph, that brat who will only cause trouble." Kogoro said disdainfully, and drank a large glass of beer.

"Father!" Lan complained dissatisfied.

Shinichi didn't say a word, he kept pushing the rice into his mouth.For this unsophisticated lie, it actually cannot withstand scrutiny.Regarding Conan's Haibara Ai, the less you say, the better, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

"You said they can come over when we get married." Lan looked at Xinyi, her eyes full of anticipation.

"...Ah, this... I don't know, hahaha..." Shinichi decided to pretend to be stupid and perfunctory.

"I always feel that there is a secret between Conan and Xiao Ai. They will grow up together, and they are also childhood sweethearts..."

Lan's words made Xin feel at a loss.

If there is no antidote, if he is still Conan and she is still Haibara Ai, they will grow up together.

Will it be a matter of course to stay together for a lifetime?

Now the distance with her is not far or close, but it is like two parallel lines. Her emotions have nothing to do with him, and she rarely participates in his life.

Is not reconciled.

You can only accept your fate.

Yuanzi was very enthusiastic about Xinyi and Lan's wedding, and volunteered to be in charge of custom-made clothing. As long as the two of them choose the style, there is no wedding dress or dress that cannot be made.Lan couldn't refuse no matter how embarrassed she was, but choosing a style was a big problem.There are piles of reference styles piled up in front of her and Shinichi, it is really difficult to choose...

"Xinyi, why don't we ask Zhibao to help us choose." Lan's words were like thunder on the ground, which surprised Xinyi.

"why……"

"Because she has a lot of research on clothing. She is the most tasteful woman I have ever seen in clothes." Lan said seriously.
