Conan: The Mechanic

Holding up a glass of wine, Maurilan sat at a table in an empty cabin, looking at himself with the waves in front of him indifferently. Shaking the glass, Mao Lilan took a light sip of the wine.

In terms of taste, wine is a good wine, but even if you taste it carefully, it just feels dull.

"Yo, Xiaolan," without warning, a familiar voice sounded behind her. "What's the matter, why is drinking alone here?"

"!" With an expression of surprise, Mao Lilan turned around and looked at the door where the voice came, but found that there was no one there.

"What are you waiting for?" At the same time, a smiling voice came from across the table.

"Shinichi!" Maurilan immediately looked in front of his body again - Kudo Shinichi was wearing a snow-white white shirt and had already picked up the wine glass in front of him. "Are you still on the airship?"

"What's the matter, aren't you just waiting for me?" Kudo Shinichi curled his lips and shook the wine glass in his hand in dissatisfaction. "Even the wine has been poured, and you said you are not waiting for me?"

"Well, it is," Mao Lilan showed a sincere smile and shook his head. "I have to admit, though, that I didn't expect you to actually come - if you didn't show up, I could only imagine you were here."

"So, I showed up just in time!" Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched slightly. "cheers?"

Mao Lilan's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and then he took the initiative to be sent forward a little. "I feel Xinyi, you have learned a lot!"

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi collided the edge of the wine glass with Maurilan's wine glass lightly, making a questioning sound. "What's the meaning?"

"You've never been so considerate before," Mao Lilan put the wine glass back in front of him, staring at the slightly rippling ripples on the wine. "Before...you were just a piece of wood!"

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi's hands trembled, but he made a nonchalant voice. "So I'm such a dumb piece of wood in your mind?"

"Well—" Mao Lilan raised his eyebrows, showing a rather playful expression. "At least it used to be like this, but now I think it may be necessary to revise this view =, ="

"Then what if I become stupid again one day and become that dumb piece of wood again, what should you do?" Kudo Shinichi took a sip of his wine, and then said with great interest.

"Oh?" Mao Lilan showed a somewhat dissatisfied expression. "What's the matter, are you taking some stupid pills?"

"No," Kudo Shinichi waved his hand hastily. "It's just, maybe I just got enlightened for a few minutes. If the truth is revealed in the future, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"I don't think you are that stupid," Mao Lilan pouted. "Because as long as you get a little bit better like you are now, it won't be what it used to be—"

Speaking of which, Maurilan took a deep breath.

"Big-stupid-egg-!!!" With a rather exaggerated teasing expression, Maorilan said with a smile.

"Hello!" Shin Kudo protested dissatisfiedly with his arms folded over his chest.

"Just kidding~" Mao Lilan smiled and waved his hand. "Speaking of which..." As she said this, her expression became serious. "How long are you going to be like this?"

"Huh?" Kudo Shinichi realized that Maurilan was obviously referring to something, and put away his happy expression before.

"What did you want to say to me at that time?" Maolilan asked. "While eating at the observation restaurant in the Cornflower Central Building."

Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to have any mood swings, just took another sip of his wine - if it was something else, he might not have the possibility to answer now, but he had heard of this. Twenty years ago, a world-class famous novelist proposed to a world-class model in the observation restaurant of the central building of Cornflower, and married the world-class model in the blessing of everyone present.

And those two are the parents of the person he is now playing - in other words, if this Kudo Shinichi really does this, then most of what he wants to do will probably be done in the same way.

If this is the case, then this is not easy to answer - this kind of thing mostly means that he will have a showdown with Maorilan.

"..." Kudo Shinichi bit his lip lightly, thinking for a while before answering. "What do you think I'm going to tell you?"

"I don't know," Maurilan shook his head immediately. "That's why I want to ask you and get your answer."

"Now?" Kudo Shinichi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Yes." Maurilan nodded immediately. "I don't want to see escape anymore, so I want a straight answer."

Kudo Shinichi wanted to say something, but suddenly found himself unable to say it.

"At that time, you asked Conan to bring me that sentence," Mao Lilan looked away from the wine glass and met Kudo Shinichi with unspeakable sadness in his eyes~www.readwn.com~you Let Conan tell me and let me wait for your return. Now, I want a hope, okay? I just need a hope, to say what you wanted to say at the time, okay? "

The wine glass in Kudo Shinichi's hand was held firmly, and the wine surface did not waver at all. And Maurilan has put down the glass, just quietly looking into Kudo Shinichi's eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Kudo Shinichi let out a sigh. "I want to, but I can't."

"Why?" Maurilan asked.

"I told you before that I still need some time to solve some problems, right?" Kudo Shinichi also put down the glass, crossed his hands, and looked at Maurilan calmly.

"Yes, then what?" Mao Lilan continued to ask.

"Give me some more time," Kudo Shinichi sighed. "I still need a little time to completely disengage myself from these things - not only for the sake of clearing the darkness, but for your safety. If there is such an intersection with you before everything is settled, then you too There will be danger."

"I'm not afraid," Mao Lilan immediately shook his head. "I just want an answer, an answer that you only need to say clearly, you just need to say it, I only want this one thing."

"No," Kudo Shinichi was still so calm. "I can't let you take this risk, so I have to give me some time first—"

"But I promise you, I won't like other women, never will." Having said this, Kudo Shinichi's tone suddenly firmed up. "So, give me a little more time, and as long as I'm alive, I'll be back."

"But if... I don't come back, then forget me, and don't ruin yourself because of me."

Crystal tears fell silently beside Maolilan's seat.
