Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

The two people who had very bad relationships sat together and had dinner in harmony.

If there were strange bubbles of sleepiness floating in the air on the side of the sobering-up group, then on the other side there were crackling sparks.

Conan, who was sitting in the corner, looked at the two people competing with each other with half-moon eyes.

I have a strong suspicion that if they keep fighting like that, they will even eat up all the sandwiches on the table.

...Will it upset your stomach?

Morofushi Keimitsu and Hagiwara Kenji, who were sandwiched between Matsuda Jinpei and Amuro Toru on the left and right, looked at each other.

The two of them took away the plates in front of the other two people at the same time and in tacit understanding.

"I don't want to rush you to the hospital anytime soon."

"Isn't it too unkind to just eat for yourself?"

Sensing the danger, the two men silently put down the sandwiches in their hands.

The host was not there, and the people who had originally gathered together for each other always felt that the atmosphere of the dinner was strange.

Just after they hastily finished their dinner, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone who heard the voice was stunned.

Xiaolan blinked, looked back at the clock on the wall, and asked:

"Who could it be at this late hour?"

"Xianhe should have brought the key with him when he went out, right?"

"I gonna go see."

Seeing Xiaolan get up and walk towards the door, Toru Amuro became alert almost instantly.

Could it be that he didn't clean up his mess on the way here tonight? !

But it shouldn't be.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was also a little nervous.

He quickly took two steps forward and passed Xiaolan, pretending nothing had happened and observing the people outside through the door mirror.

Qili Chu Jianwen, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was standing at the door, fiddling with his phone with his head down.

Not far from him, a white-haired guy was looking at the withered rose wall not far away.

White hair, but not an idle crane.

It seems that it is because there was no response.

Qili Chu Jianwen finally turned his eyes away from the mobile phone screen.

He first glanced at the door mirror, then raised his hand and pressed the doorbell again.

After confirming that the other party was Qilichu, Zhu Fujingguang opened the door:

"It's so late, what can I do for Assistant Qilichu?"

"Good evening, Assistant Midorikawa. The president sent me and Beike to take his friends home."

When 552 heard his name being called, he turned to look at Zhu Fu Jingguang and raised his hand to casually greet him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment.

While making room for Qilichu and the others to open the door, he asked:

"Is Xianhe not coming back tonight?"

"I don't know. As an assistant, I don't need to know the president's schedule when he's on vacation."

Zhu Fujingguang, who always felt that the other party was implying that he was meddling too much, choked.

He laughed awkwardly twice and whispered:

"That's right..."

The child is not a puppet controlled by him.

The other party is free...

Xiaolan, who was standing not far behind Zhu Fu Jingguang, always felt that the atmosphere between them was weird.

The angel smiled somewhat distressedly and said to Qilichu:

"But, aren't we all Xianhe-kun's friends? It's so late, and he hasn't come home yet. As his friends, we are a little worried, so, ..."

The rest of the words fell silent under the young man's gaze.

Qilichu raised his hand to push up his glasses and answered seriously:

"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with caring for each other among friends. But even the best friends have their own space and secrets. He doesn't want to talk about it, and that's the boundary, do you understand?"

"……Feel sorry……"

"You don't need to apologize, it's just that your thinking direction and emotions are different."

Excessive concern can override the respect for other people's privacy.

What did they do wrong?

correct.

It's just caring too much about someone.

It just so happens that the guy they care about least needs excessive concern from others.

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

Qili Chu Jianwen obviously had no intention of entering the house.

The other party glanced at the time on his phone and said to Zhu Fu Jingguang:

"We're in the car outside, please call us when you need to leave."

"…it is good."

Zhu Fu Jingguang closed the door after seeing the two leave.

Xiaolan, who was standing behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I always feel that Mr. Qilichu is quite oppressive..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang chuckled twice and said comfortingly:

"Maybe it's the aura of a superior."

"He feels completely different from Sonoko's father, Mr. Suzuki."

"Maybe... because Qilichu is younger?"

"What are you two talking about, Xiaolan? What happened to my dad?"

Sonoko, who hadn't heard the previous conversation, asked curiously.

Xiaolan pulled the other person aside and told him what had just happened.

Zhu Fushiki Kagemitsu looked at Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji who were slumped in their chairs and asked:

"Xianhe has sent someone to drive you home."

“Is this an order to expel you?”

Kenji Hagiwara, who was leaning on the dining table, asked back with a smile.

Conan glanced at them and said:

"Perhaps Brother Xianhe thinks that you are still drunk at this time and it is not safe for you to go back by yourselves?"

This is indeed the case.

Even Qilichu, who had just seen that all of them were awake, felt a little surprised.

Hagiwara and the others felt that what Conan said made some sense.

However, Toru Amuro was not very happy as he was left out for two nights and did not get the answer to the question.

Bourbon sent his farewell wishes to everyone with a fake smile:

"Well, everyone, see you next time."

"Hmm? Toru, you're going back now?"

"No, I plan to stay here and wait for Xianhe to come back. Anyway, I have the afternoon shift at the coffee shop tomorrow."

Hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara raised his eyebrows.

He looked at the man sitting on the chair with a bold move and silently mourned for Yun Xianhe.

"Let's go Conan, you have school tomorrow morning."

"Ok!"

Dr. Agasa, who finally woke up, held his head and laughed bitterly:

"I think I'd better go home and get some sleep."

"I'll take you back, Dr. Agasa. If you need anything, please let me know."

Zhu Fu Jingguang took two steps forward and supported the other person.

Dr. Agasa, who was still experiencing a hangover at his age, felt a little overwhelmed and accepted Morufushi Kagemitsu's kindness with a smile.

Two cars, two groups of people set off separately.

In the end, only Morofushi Keimu and Amuro Toru were left in the room.

After a brief staring contest, the two of them suddenly laughed in tacit understanding.

Amuro Toru held his forehead and smiled bitterly:

"I feel like this scene is the same as last night. Will he come back drunk again this time?"

When asked, Zhu Fu Jingguang was not sure.

Jing Guang Mama, who felt like she was raising a child, smiled a little sadly:

"Not sure, you know, the kid won't tell me these things."

Probably, before when I went out, I would find an excuse to perfunctorily say a few words to him, but now...

Toru Amuro half lowered his eyes and tapped lightly with his fingertips on the table.

"He has a lot of secrets."

“…I can’t tell you.”

Whether it is a positive arrangement or a secret arrangement.

Even the share transfer agreement handed to Toru Amuro last night was an arrangement without any beginning or end.

The other party didn't explain anything.

Reject their kindness, but stubbornly let them accept the sudden kindness.

Even if Toru Amuro and the others tried to refuse, Yun Xianhe would always find ways to force them to accept it.

He has arranged everything.

...terrifying control.
