There will be a summer fireworks display in Mihua Town next week, and Xiaolan has received the news early.

When I came to the Maori Detective Agency to look for her, she was still choosing the yukata to wear that day, and asked me enthusiastically whether the pink one looks better or the sky blue one.

I said, everything looks good, the most important thing is that the person is very good-looking, and the clothes are also radiant.

Xiaolan pretended to hit me, blaming me for being glib and not a good person.

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore." I put away my shameless smile and said to her.

To be honest, I have rarely seen Xiaolan so excited that she was choosing the clothes to wear and the jewelry to match a week in advance.

There was a smirk in my eyes, and I had some guesses in my heart, so I quietly asked her: "Who are you going to the summer festival with..."

Xiaolan was still trying on the matching of clothes and jewelry, she didn't see the expression on my face, she said without defense:

"Ah... I have a date with Shinichi... Hey!"

In the middle of her speech, she realized that she had been set by me, and hurriedly interrupted her intention to continue speaking.

But being smart, I already got the news I wanted, so I gave a strange "Oh~".

"What's the new one~" No wonder she looks so happy and takes it seriously, I laughed and teased her, "It's her boyfriend, no wonder she takes it seriously."

"No...it's not." Xiao Lan blushed, pretending to be angry and put her bathrobe on the bed.

"Not now, not necessarily in a week~" While avoiding Xiaolan's pretending to slap my hand, I kept teasing her.

A girl's mind...

This is what I suddenly thought of when I, an old man, was fighting with Xiaolan.

"Speaking of it." Xiaolan suddenly stopped playing with me, and asked me solemnly, "Who is Lizi-chan going to the summer fireworks festival with?"

"Huh? Me?" I pointed to myself, and after I got Xiaolan's nod, I thought about this question carefully, "Actually, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it." I felt embarrassed touched his head.

"How can I forget it!" Xiaolan pouted, seeming very dissatisfied with my nonchalant attitude, "I want to be with my good friend! Or...or..."

She faltered: "Or... let's go with someone you like..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her face turned slightly red. It seemed that she was thinking about herself and Kudo Shinichi again.

"And I really want to meet Riko-chan at the summer fireworks display!" Xiaolan suddenly raised her head, her sparkling eyes suddenly looked at me.

No one could say no to her looking forward to her eyes.

I had already been captured by the lovely Xiaolan, so I could only agree to her hesitantly: "Okay... okay..."

When Xiaolan sent me downstairs, I happened to meet Toru Amuro who came upstairs to find Conan. When he saw Xiaolan in a bathrobe, he was a little taken aback, and asked suspiciously:

"Hey, what day is today?"

"No." Xiaolan smiled and waved her hands, "It's preparations for the summer fireworks display in a week's time. Please ask Lizijiang to see which dress looks good."

"Fireworks festival." Amuro Toru looked thoughtful, "Will Riko go with her?"

"Of course I won't go with them." I couldn't help teasing Xiao Ran again, "Would you like to watch them make a light bulb next to the young couple?"

"But Lizi-chan, you also promised that I would go!" Xiaolan said hurriedly.

"Yeah." I comforted her, "I'll go! I'll take a look at Kudo Shinichi who is a handsome guy, and cheat the world's best blue sauce."

Xiaolan's face was so red that she was about to catch fire, she took the opportunity to cover my mouth and pushed me out the door in a hurry.

I took a step outside the door, turned my head back, and yelled in Xiaolan's direction:

"Wear a pink bathrobe! A girl's heart is always pink and tender!"

"Go quickly—" Xiaolan's voice was shy and angry, and it came from a distance from the door.

I smiled and ran away quickly.

When I came to the road, I stopped and walked slowly. At this time, I calmed down and thought about Lan's words.

Summertime...fireworks festivals...huh?

It seems that it has been a long time since I have not participated in such a lively activity filled with lively crowds.

I lowered my head, took out my phone and sent a text message.

A few seconds later, the phone beeped.

I turned on the phone, and the moment I saw the message, I couldn't help but smile.

The reply message said:

Ok.

I'll be on time for my appointment.

It turned out that a week passed quickly, and everyone seemed to speed up their pace in unison, and by the way, even the clock went faster.

I didn't deliberately choose a yukata, because I only have one in my closet. It seems to have been in the closet for many years, but it is still bright and delicate, as if it is new, as if it was specially prepared for this summer festival.

On the day of the summer fireworks display, Xiaolan urged me to go out early. The summer festival started at night, but she was already very excited since the morning.

Kudo Shin had a great influence on her.

I put on my orange bathrobe, the gold threads drawn on it brushed my wrists, and I casually pulled up a hairpin. When I lowered my head and put on the wooden clogs, there were still a few strands of hair hanging down the side of my face.I brushed the drooping hair behind my ears, and just as I was about to open the door, I hung my hand on the doorknob and hesitated for a while.

I decided to go back and put on some lipstick. There was a bottle of light fragrance next to me, and I sprayed it on my collarbone and wrists.

With a small sachet on my shoulders, I finally went out.

The streets and alleys are full of people in yukata, bustling with people, and their destinations are all near the shrine in Mihua Town.

I saw Xiaolan who was already waiting there at the gate of the shrine, and smiled and waved to her.

"Riko-chan!" Xiaolan was so happy when she saw me, her eyes were crooked with a smile, and when I approached, she quietly asked me to hold out my hand.

I held out my hand in some doubts, and she suddenly took out a flower from behind and put it in my hand:

"For you! A jasmine~"

I was a little pleasantly surprised. I lowered my head and smelled the jasmine in my hand. The faint fragrance reflected Xiaolan's bright smiling face in front of me, and even the gate of the shrine shone brightly.

"Hey, where's your new one?" I put the flowers away carefully, and looked around Xiaolan's side, but I didn't seem to see the high school detective.

"What's mine..." Xiaolan shyly pretended to hit me again.

I giggled and hid aside, but Xiaolan didn't continue to play with me, she lowered her head, her eyes seemed a little downcast:

"I made an appointment with him, and he will never miss the appointment."

She lowered her head and kicked the small stone under her feet, with a lonely expression: "He was late every time, and there were a few times when everyone left, leaving me alone."

She seemed to be sniffling, but quickly continued, "But so what, Shinichi will always arrive at the last moment, I just have to wait."

"I'll wait with you." Xiaolan said it was okay, but she would always feel a little sad in her heart.I looked into her eyes and said to her seriously, "No matter what, it's not good to keep girls waiting. I can go shopping here with you first."

"But Riko-chan, you also have an appointment..." Xiaolan said hesitantly.

"He..." I waved my hand nonchalantly, "He's not in Mihua Town, and it will take time to come here from other places."

In fact, this guy has always been very punctual, he must have come early today, but...

I saw that Xiaolan was wearing a beautiful pink and purple flower ball bathrobe, with light makeup on her face, she was well-dressed, standing on the side of the road with a lonely look on her face.

Let that guy wait.

I took Xiaolan's hand and said to her with a smile:

"So where are we going next? Fish for small goldfish, or hang wind chimes?"

Xiaolan dragged her head to think for a while, then her eyes lit up as if she suddenly thought of something:

"Let's go catch the little goldfish!"

"Okay!" I was about to take Xiaolan to a goldfish stall not far away, when I suddenly heard someone shouting Xiaolan's name from a distance:

"orchid--"

The sound came to us through layers of crowds, and the people around couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

Xiaolan had walked two steps towards the goldfish stall with me, but when she heard someone calling her name, she turned her head and looked around again.

Then I saw a boy who shook his hand vigorously towards us in the distance, and ran towards us panting like a gust of wind.

"Lan!" The boy ran close, and before I could see his face clearly, Xiao Lan who was standing next to me exclaimed excitedly:

"New One!"

It turned out to be Kudo Shinichi.

Like a child who hasn't grown up, he flew to us, out of breath, put his hands on his knees and stopped to rest.

"You run a little slower." Xiaolan patted his back lightly with her hand to help him calm down.

The boy named Kudo Shinichi, he didn't even put on the bathrobe that matched Xiaolan, he was just wearing normal clothes, he didn't even know where he came from just now, his hair was a little messed up.

But Xiaolan is very happy, even a stranger can tell that the smile in her eyes is almost overflowing.

"Not good... I'm sorry... I kept you waiting for so long."

Kudo Shinichi hadn't recovered from being out of breath, but he couldn't wait to apologize to Lan, and he took several breaths before finishing his sentence.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiaolan quickly waved her hand, "You're not late, we just arrived."

Nonsense, you will be here tomorrow afternoon.

I secretly complained about her in my heart.

"Lan." Kudo Shinichi called her name softly, raised his head, and looked into Lan's eyes with a pair of clear eyes unique to young people. He looked at her very seriously, and said word by word:

"I will never let you wait for me again."

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly turned red, like ripples suddenly appearing in a pool of water.From my vantage point, there seemed to be a drop of something shiny hanging from the corner of her eye.

I don't know if it was because Kudo Shinichi was finally not late this time, or because he made the promise that he would never have to wait again, Xiaolan was moved to tears.

Maybe in Lan's heart, Kudo Shinichi doesn't need to make any promises, and he doesn't need to apologize for being late, as long as he will show up, even if he arrives at the last second, it is enough for her.

I don't know how long I can wait if I am in Xiaolan's position, but fortunately, she is not waiting alone, what she has is the efforts of two people going in both directions.

And she.

As Kudo Shinichi promised, there will be no endless waiting.

Damn it, I, who only knows how to put salted fish to pieces, was deeply moved.

"Riko, do you want to go fishing for goldfish with us?"

Xiaolan turned to me and asked me. The moment I saw her turn her head, I secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"No, no." I waved my hand at them, pointing in a random direction, "My friend is already waiting for me there, you go first."

Lan's great love cannot do without my little help.

I waved goodbye to them, walked towards the direction I casually pointed at, and lowered my head to take out my mobile phone to send a text message, looking for someone waiting for me.

After walking a few steps, someone grabbed my arm suddenly.

"Where are you going?" He said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

The author says:

Realize your little selfishness first

Of course, Shinichi didn't change back forever, but just changed back for one night for Lan

The next step is to be really high-powered, which stock to buy is very sweet (hehehe)
