Conan's I'm Really Not Red Fang

Chapter 34 Nakamichi Junpei
Naturally, Xue Shiyi didn't know that the bartender who only met her a few times back then would remember her for so many years, she was a little surprised to see a stranger come over and put down the photo she needed.

The other party obviously had no intention of talking to her, and left directly after putting it down.

And no one noticed this scene except her.

The wine glass in his hand shook twice, the glass reflected the light, Xue Shiyi didn't immediately take the photo that was close at hand, there was a crisp sound when the ice ball collided with the glass wall, making the wine inside extraordinarily lustrous .

The high probability is not a trap, but the possibility of it is not ruled out.

"Did the beauty come alone? Drinking alone so lonely, why don't you let me accompany you?"

Soon, a frivolous male voice sounded beside her. Before Xue Shiyi agreed, he sat down on the seat next to her talking to himself, and called the bartender to order a glass of wine. He seemed to be a regular visitor here.

"..."

Xue Shiyi didn't say a word, but put the cup back on the table heavily, her gray eyes were calm.

Is it his trap?

--no.

She stared at the wooden bar and thought firmly that a person like him would disdain such oblique things, and if he suspected that it was her, he would not have such a gentle attitude.

"This is..." The other party noticed the photo on the other side of Xue Shiyi, with a curious look in his eyes, and he was about to change his position and reach out to look at it, but when he just got up, a hand grabbed it before him After leaving the photo, he couldn't help turning his head to look back, and asked, "Ah, is this your beauty?"

"Ah."

With her fingers rubbing the protective layer on the photo through the thin gloves, Yukimuroi responded lightly.

The man picked up the goblet he had just put on, raised his hand and motioned to her, "Want to have a drink together?" He didn't seem to care about what happened just now, his attitude never changed, and there was no emotion in his eyes. move.

"What to drink." Xue Shiyi finally raised her head, the wine-red eyes of the other party seemed to be full of smiles, but when she looked inside, there was only a piece of ruins, her face was not outstanding, only the beauty mole under the corner of her eye made her feel uneasy. He is so charming when he smiles.

"Champagne?"

champagne—champagne

"Hey, I've been recognized~" Champagne smiled slightly, her whole face was as fake as if she was wearing a fake smile mask, "It's our first time meeting you, Lan Cheng."

-

The night sky is full of stars, and the location on the top floor of the hotel is suitable for stargazing, as if you can touch the whole sky with your hand, but that is just a false illusion.

In fact, she has always liked the sea.

She leaned on the railing with her hands crossed and looked down. The lights on the ground were so bright that it didn't look like a night. The deepness in her eyes was fleeting, and the night tonight was stained with blood.

Although she also likes snow.

like very much.

"I'm very happy today~" Although she didn't seem to do anything.

Xue Shiyi closed her eyes, and the words she said softly were scattered in the strong wind that appeared later, the wind here was still so strong that it made her face feel tingling.

"The days are beautiful now." It was so beautiful that she was afraid.

"It's been a few days, and I have completely forgotten it." She said apologetically, looking at the stars in the sky.

It has been a long, long time without counting time.

"It's coming soon, just wait for me."

The wine she just drank was digested in her body little by little, and the feeling of alcohol gradually came up. She could clearly feel the heat on her face, and patted her cheek lightly. will blush.

"Crack." The empty hall behind was supposed to be silent, and few people would stay here after nightfall, but Xue Shiyi seemed to have expected it long ago, and she didn't look back in surprise. He didn't move, just said something lightly:

"Come out."

Junpei Nakamichi came here purely by chance. The viewing platform on the top floor is a public area, but few people will stay until then, so when he came up after changing shifts with others, he didn’t meet anyone. Empty as usual.

But didn't expect...

His eyes stopped on that snow-colored figure, compared to the appearance of that year, the other party is obviously much more mature.

Nakamichi Junpei didn't intend to eavesdrop, he just simply didn't want to face this goddess whom he had unilaterally had a crush on for many years—even though the crush had ended a few hours ago.

"You're the one who gave me the photo, right?" Yukimuroi reluctantly turned her gaze away to Nakamichi Junpei when she heard the clear footsteps.

"Well, I helped you take pictures before, so I took the photos when I saw you coming here." Nakamichi Junpei scratched his head, trying to find a suitable reason to prevaricate, as for the secret love, he still used the other party as a false appearance His girlfriend really made him a little ashamed to face real people. Thinking of this, his eyes flickered twice, avoiding Xue Shiyi's eyes.

"That's right, thank you."

Seeing his performance, Xue Shiyi's eyes flickered, but he didn't delve into his real purpose.

"But now you'd better go back to the tavern."

Eh?Nakamichi Junpei was stunned, why?He just got off work?
Xue Shiyi didn't have any intention of explaining, as if she just mentioned it casually, after she finished speaking, she turned around again, and her eyes once again returned to the stars that were shining quietly.

What does she mean?
Nakamichi Junpei stared at her back without knowing why, and suddenly thought of a strange thing that happened when he saw her for the first time that year.

At that time, except for their group of college students who came together, there were not many other guests in the bar because it was almost time to peak season, and among these few guests, someone had the idea of ​​escaping the order and paid them. Actions.

They didn't notice it before the incident, only she called him when he passed by the bar. She was a stranger who had never seen him before, but she was able to tell his purpose directly. He paid the money, trying to prove that he came to pay the bill instead of fleeing, but there was never a statement in their bar that he could only pay the bill at the bar counter, and everyone could see his purpose.

Her companions were not surprised by it, but just jokingly said words of praise and envy such as "as expected of her" and "he has become stronger again", and the reason why Nakamichi Junpei can remember these words is because They didn't say her name from the beginning to the end, which made him very regretful when he wanted to get close to each other.

She reminded them just as suddenly as now.

Nakamichi Junpei went downstairs full of doubts, and then...

Made an alibi for a certain suspect.

If he hadn't gone downstairs before, it wouldn't be long before the police would go upstairs to find him based on the information provided by his colleagues.

A vague idea came to Nakamichi Junpei's mind: Could it be that she doesn't want to be disturbed?
So when he heard the police ask them if they had seen a white-haired woman, he kept silent. When he was about to leave, he inadvertently heard those people's comments. It was only then that he knew her name for the first time.

Is that Yukimuro?
He thought, although the other party didn't know about it, he still thanked her for appearing in front of his eyes.

"Manager, here is my letter of resignation."

Now that his liking was over, there was no reason to work here anymore.

Goodbye, my crush of six years.
