After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Hagiwara Kenji smiled frivolously and said, "Xiao Zhenping is so angry that he is embarrassed."

Hoshino Hitomi watched the two of them playing around, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "You two really have a good relationship."

Hagiwara Kenji stopped playing with Matsuda Jinpei and said with a smile: "If you want, you can play with us, and little Jinpei also hopes to make friends with you."

Unexpectedly, Jinpei Matsuda did not continue to refute what Kenji Hagiwara said, but just turned his head away awkwardly with a red face.

The corners of Hoshino Hitomi's lips curled up into a beautiful arc, and she smiled brightly and said, "Really? Of course I'd like to make friends with you. Hagiwara-san probably doesn't know my name yet. Then let me introduce myself first. My name is Hoshino Hitomi, and I'm a freshman this year."

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated for a long time, then slowly said, "Thank you, Hoshino-san, for helping my father just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinpei Matsuda lowered his head in embarrassment.

Hoshino Hitomi was stunned at first, but then she reacted and smiled softly, "Was Matsuda-san also nearby just now? It turns out that he was Matsuda-san's father. What a coincidence. I just did a little favor, it's nothing to mention."

Hagiwara Kenji patted Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a meaningful smile: "Little Jinpei actually took the initiative to thank others, which is amazing."

When Hoshino Hitomi came forward to greet them, Kenji Hagiwara's inquisitive eyes moved around her again and again.

The girl has short black curly hair that reaches her shoulders, watery red almond eyes, a small and delicate white face, and exquisite and beautiful facial features. When she smiles, it's like a stream of clear water flowing through people's hearts.

At this moment, Kenji Hagiwara finally understood why the usually arrogant Xiao Zhenping was so shy only towards her.

No matter who has this girl's face, he can probably easily seduce someone, not to mention that Hitomi Hoshino has such a good personality and character.

When Kenji Hagiwara thought of this, he couldn't help but worry about his friend's future happiness. A girl as outstanding and lovely as Hitomi Hoshino will probably have many suitors in a few years, and Kojinpei will also have many competitors.

As for Xiao Zhenping, apart from his handsome face, it is not known whether he can surpass others in other aspects. It seems that he needs to be careful.

Hoshino Hitomi also secretly glanced at Hagiwara Kenji. The boy had gentle and measured manners, a cheerful and outgoing personality, and smooth black shoulder-length hair. His pair of purple peach eyes added to his amorous qualities. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of slim jeans. He looked like an exceptionally gentlemanly and handsome boy.

Hoshino Hitomi thought: I finally understand why he was so popular among young girls when he was in the police academy. Even she is ashamed of her excellent communication skills...

She remembered that Kenji Hagiwara was the first of the five members of the police academy to die in the line of duty. He was killed on November 22, when he was 11 years old, when a bomb was detonated by the enemy while he was handling it.

Then, on the same day four years later, Jinpei Matsuda was finally killed in the line of duty while trying to obtain information from the bomber about another bomb and protecting civilians.

Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but feel sad. Two people with such outstanding abilities died at a young age.

But as long as she is here in this life, this tragedy will never happen again. Hoshino Hitomi then brought her thoughts back to reality.

Hagiwara Kenji smiled cheerfully and said, "Then I'll call you Hitomi-chan. Xiao Zhenping and I are both in the fifth grade, and we go to the same school as you."

Hagiwara Kenji then added: "Hitomi-chan, there's no need to be so distant. Since we're all friends, just call us by our names."

Matsuda Jinpei lowered his eyes and looked at Hoshino Hitomi. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Then I'll call you... Xiaotong."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and nodded, then looked at the two and said, "Okay, then I will call you Kenji and Jinpei from now on."

Then Hoshino Hitomi asked kindly, "Are Kenji and Jinpei also taking this route home? If so, let's go home together."

When Matsuda Jinpei heard this, he raised his eyes and accidentally met Hoshino Hitomi's eyes full of expectation.

Jinpei Matsuda's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a trace of panic flashed through his mind.

A trace of embarrassment also flashed across Kenji Hagiwara's face. He couldn't say that they took this path just because they followed her.

If you do this, you will definitely be regarded as a pervert, and the friends you just made might be scared away.

Jinpei Matsuda racked his brains but couldn't think of how to answer, so he looked to Kenji Hagiwara for help.

In fact, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara did travel along the same route as Hitomi Hoshino in the first half of the journey, but they separated in the second half.

Kenji Hagiwara glanced at Jinpei Matsuda with a joking look on his face. Who asked Jinpei to follow the girl? Now look what happened, he didn't know how this would end.

Hoshino Hitomi saw the eye contact between the two, tilted her head and blinked in confusion, and said, "Is there something inconvenient to say?"

Kenji Hagiwara looked at Hitomi Hoshino helplessly and thought to himself: You guessed it right.

Hoshino Hitomi's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood what Hagiwara Kenji meant. Although she didn't know why they found it difficult to say it, since the other party was not in a position to say it, she didn't intend to force it.

So, Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "Since it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it. Do you want to come to my house this afternoon? We can have afternoon tea together~"

The two who got to the bottom of the stairs breathed a sigh of relief. Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows and smiled, and responded: "Since it is Hitomi-chan's enthusiastic invitation, of course Xiao Zhenping and I will go."

"Then let's leave now."

The three of them walked slowly on the way back to Hitomi Hoshino's house, and Kenji Hagiwara and Hitomi Hoshino chatted freely.

Kenji Hagiwara seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously, "How did Hitomi-chan and Jinpei know each other? I don't think I've ever heard Jinpei mention you before."

Matsuda Jinpei's face froze, and he thought: Kenji is really talking about something that is not relevant...

Hoshino Hitomi thought for a moment, not knowing what to say, so she just smiled and said, "Well..."

In the end, it was Matsuda Jinpei who answered truthfully: "I met her a few days ago. I accidentally bumped into Xiaotong in the department store, so we got to know each other..."

The corners of Hagiwara Kenji's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, because if he laughed he would definitely be beaten up by Xiao Zhenping.

It seems that he accidentally exposed Xiao Zhenping's embarrassing situation. He can only hope that Xiao Zhenping will be gentler on him then.

Hagiwara Kenji suppressed his smile and sighed, "Jinpei-chan is too reckless. I hope Hitomi-chan didn't get hurt."

Hoshino Hitomi shook her head and said gently: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said with a cheerful face, "That's good. Hitomi-chan is really generous. She is willing to be friends with Xiao Zhenping."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Because Jinpei apologized to me at the time. Since he didn't mean it, there's no need for me to care about it. What's more, he promised me that he wouldn't run around anymore in the future."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled faintly upon hearing this, glanced at Matsuda Jinpei, and said, "Is that so? Since Hitomi-chan has already forgiven little Jinpei, we will still be good friends in the future."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "Okay~"
