Chapter 17: A Novel About Love

In one's life, there will always be a few unforgettable moments.

No matter how many years have passed, those scenes are like classic movie clips, deeply imprinted in my mind and unforgettable.

For Hideomi Uyama, that meant meeting Kyosuke Maijo, a rising star in the mystery genre.

For Jiang Liu Meili, that was Mai Shiro Kyosuke, who was radiating irresistible charm at that moment.

For Eri Miya, it meant having her face roughly pulled by "Urusei Yatsura" Ataru Moroboshi, who could be called her "lifelong enemy"!

For "Watson", that is the frustration of being able to smell the delicious food but not being able to eat it!

As for Maijo Kyosuke, it was Eri Miri, with her hair down and a slightly tipsy look on her face, after a few rounds of drinks!

Previously, Maishiro Kyosuke was starving, and all the little nutrition he had left was used to support his legs, enabling him to find Uyama Hideomi.

Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, our nutrition has improved as well.

It was only then that Maijo Kyosuke belatedly realized how radiant and beautiful Eri, with her hair disheveled and a hint of intoxication, truly was!

At this moment, her left elbow was resting on the dining table, and her chin was propped up with her hand.

Holding a wine glass in her right hand, her hazy almond-shaped eyes were filled with personal worship of Maijo Kyosuke.

Under the influence of alcohol, her snow-white skin turned a charming cherry blossom pink.

Her long, smooth, black hair fell down from both sides of her face, with a few stray strands landing squarely on her forehead.

Jiang Liumei pouted her cherry lips and blew a gentle breeze carrying the scent of wine towards the strands of hair on her forehead.

But perhaps because her hair was damp with sweat, no matter how much she blew, the strands of hair on her forehead remained perfectly still.

Helpless, Jiang Liumei could only reach out and tuck all her hair behind her ears.

A gentle breeze carrying the scent of alcohol may not be able to stir a hair, but it can stir a heart.

Seeing that all her hair was tucked behind her ears, Jiang Liumei's jade-like neck and her collarbone were clearly visible.

Maijo Kyosuke's throat moved involuntarily.

Although I really wanted to look away, my eyes seemed to have lost control and involuntarily focused on that area.

In his previous life, Maijo Kyosuke was not an innocent boy who had never seen a woman before; he had been in contact with quite a few beautiful women.

But this was the first time ever that Maijo Kyosuke's heart had fluttered with every breath the other person had ever taken!

To be frank, Maijo Kyosuke really wants to store all the beautiful memories of her in his memory!

"Ms. Mai, what do you think love is?"

Jiang Liu Meili blinked her big almond-shaped eyes at Mai Shiro Kyosuke and suddenly asked a question that was a bit puzzling.

This left Maijo Kyosuke momentarily speechless.

Turning to look at Uyama Hideomi beside him, he found that the old man who loved to drink had somehow gotten drunk and passed out on the table.

Last time, his alcohol tolerance wasn't this bad.

"Ms. Mai, have you ever loved anyone?"

Jiang Liumei once again posed a somewhat strange question.

Kyosuke Maijo didn't know how to answer, and his mind went blank for a moment.

All that could be seen was Jiang Liu Meili's expectant gaze and Jiang Liu Meiya's rather displeased expression.

"I want to be with Ms. Maishiro..."

Perhaps he had drunk a bit too much, Maijo Kyosuke began to doubt his ears:

"Miss Jiang Liu, what did you say?"

Jiang Liu Meili subconsciously played with her hair, looking at Mai Shiro Kyosuke with expectant eyes:

"I want to start a short mystery magazine with Ms. Maishiro!"

"Not your average one~ This is a short mystery magazine that could change the world of mystery!"

"To create a magazine of this caliber, it's absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible for me to do it all by myself!"

"I want Mr. Mai to join us, because I believe that with him, this goal will no longer be a pipe dream!"

Maishiro Kyosuke understood what Jiang Liu Meili meant, and smiled wryly, realizing what she meant:

"Oh, I see."

"Miss Jiang Liu once posed two questions to me: what is love? And who have I ever loved?"

"You're asking this because you want me to write a short mystery story about love?"

There was no resistance in Maishiro Kyosuke's tone.

Jiang Liu Meili immediately stood up excitedly, then plopped down next to Mai Cheng Jingjie:

"Ms. Mai, do you mean you agree?"

"Would you like to join me in starting a short mystery magazine?"

The sofa on one side of the dining table can only accommodate two people. If there is a third person, they will inevitably be pressed close together.

Maijo Kyosuke was captivated by the softness around him.

Looking down, he met Jiang Liumei's almond-shaped eyes, which were as clear as lake water.

This distance is just too close!

In this situation and atmosphere, Maijo Kyosuke's heart was practically pounding out of his chest! How could he possibly refuse her?

"So Miss Jiang Liu is just asking me to write an article? Of course, that's fine."

Maijo Kyosuke's words left the drunken Eri Miyako somewhat bewildered:

"Huh? Not a commissioned article? What did you think it was, Mr. Mai?"

Maijo Kyosuke never expected that Eri would ask such a question.

He could only smile bitterly, covering his wildly beating heart with his hand, using lies to mask his turbulent chest:

"I thought... Miss Jiang Liu was just confessing her feelings to me."

"It's making my heart pound uncontrollably!"

Although Maijo Kyosuke said that, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

But Jiang Liumei still caught a glimpse of that fleeting moment of disappointment.

After all, Jiang Liumei's greatest skill is understanding other people's emotions by observing their expressions and actions.

The atmosphere at the scene became awkward.

Maijo Kyosuke's gaze, however, was fixed on Eri's beautiful, dreamy almond-shaped eyes and cherry lips.

Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol that created a hint of ambiguous feelings between the two.

Jiang Liu Meili did not avoid Wu Cheng Jingjie's domineering gaze.

Instead, she raised her face, bit her lip lightly, and took the initiative to close the distance between them.

"If... I mean if, I really did confess to Ms. Maishiro just now."

Will Teacher Wu Cheng accept me?

Maijo Kyosuke could no longer hear what Jiang Liu Meili was saying, nor could he spare any thought to respond.

Because all that could be seen was a pair of sparkling almond-shaped eyes beneath her delicate, thick eyelashes!

No answer is the best answer.

Jiang Liu Meili gazed at Wu Cheng Jingjie, slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing became rapid!

Just as Maijo Kyosuke was about to take things a step further.

A small hand suddenly pressed against Maijo Kyosuke's face.

Jiang Liu Meiya suddenly appeared on the table, her face round like a pufferfish, and she pressed her hands firmly against the faces of Mai Shiro Kyosuke and Jiang Liu Meiya!

The two were only a finger's width apart.

But because of the meddling of that brat, Eri Miya, the distance between the two became as vast as an insurmountable chasm, making them insurmountable!
