If you have time to think about that, you might as well go help Xiaomi prepare cat food.

The corner of Beihara Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly.

I'll leave the dishes and chopsticks to you.

After finishing dinner, Kitahara Hao gave instructions to Doraemon who was still eating, then turned and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

The murder case of the bandaged man in the Villa...

Sitting on the chair, Kitahara Hao lightly tapped his fingers on the table and looked out the window thoughtfully.

He was quite familiar with this case, and it was one of the shadows of his childhood.

But——he didn’t go there this time for some bandage weirdo.

Thinking of Xiaolan whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Beihara Hao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

I really look forward to meeting you tomorrow.

…………

Saturday.

A deep mountain near Tokyo.

The bright sunshine penetrated the dense jungle, reflecting the mottled light and shadow on the muddy land. There were still puddles on the ground formed by the rain last night.

It should be around here, right?

Mao Lilan looked at the address on the phone, pursed her pink lips, and looked along the end of the path with her aqua eyes.

Soon I saw a luxuriously decorated two-story villa, and in front of the villa was a wooden suspension bridge connecting the valley more than ten meters long.

The breeze in the mountains blew slowly, and the suspension bridge swayed gently.

found it!

When she saw the villa, Mao Lilan's eyes lit up slightly.

She had been wandering around this mountain for almost half an hour, and now she finally found it.

After walking across the wooden bridge, Mao Lilan reached out and pressed the doorbell in front of the villa.

Ding dong~

Coming.

As the crisp bell rang, Suzuki Sonoko's expectant voice also came from the villa.

Hey, is it just you, Xiaolan?

After Suzuki Sonoko opened the door, she was slightly stunned when she saw that there was only Mao Lilan in front of the door.

She turned her head and looked behind Mao Lilan, but unfortunately she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.

Forget it, let's take a rest first! Suzuki Sonoko turned to her side and smiled after recovering from her somewhat disappointed mood.

........ .. .. .. ..

Um.

Mao Lilan nodded, and then followed Suzuki Sonoko into the living room.

Come, have a cup of hot tea!

Suzuki Sonoko poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her, and then sat on the chair opposite.

sorry to bother you.

After taking the steaming black tea, Mao Lilan said softly.

After being lost in the forest for half an hour, she was indeed very thirsty now.

but--

When she remembered what Suzuki Sonoko said to herself when she opened the door just now, Mao Lilan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived besides myself?

It's almost ten o'clock now, right?

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan raised her eyes and looked at Suzuki Garden opposite.

She was holding her cheek with her hands and staring at the clock on the wall with bored eyes, as if she was waiting for someone.

Yuanzi, who else hasn't—

Ding dong~

Just when Mao Lilan was about to ask, a bell suddenly came from the door.

Finally here!

Suzuki Sonoko stood up quickly and walked quickly towards the door of the villa, the expression on her face looked very expectant.

Who is it that hasn’t come yet?

Mao Lilan thought curiously, then stood up and walked towards the door.

She wanted to know who could make Yuanzi look forward to it so much.

At the entrance.

As Suzuki Sonoko quickly opened the door of the villa, a familiar voice also reached Mao Lilan's ears.

Long time no see, Lan! 5.

089: Why are you blushing?

Long time no see, Lan!

As the door was quickly opened, a familiar voice reached her ears.

After hearing this voice, Mao Lilan suddenly froze, and her beautiful eyes gradually opened wide and looked outside the villa.

North, North Plains...

When she saw the man standing at the door, she couldn't help but take a step back. Her aqua blue eyes trembled slightly, and the expression on her face became a little panicked.

Why... why do you see him here?

Suddenly, she suddenly remembered that last time Sonoko asked her to help get Kitahara Hajime's contact information.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan glanced at Suzuki Sonoko in front of her.

It turns out that the person she was waiting for was Kitahara Hajime.

Eh! Lan?

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing in front, blinked blankly after hearing this title.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Mao Lilan behind her, and then looked at Kitahara Hao standing at the door. Her mind was a little unable to react for a while.

Why does Brother Kitahara call Xiaolan so affectionate?

Sorry for being late, Sonoko. Noting Suzuki Sonoko's reaction, Kitahara Hajime explained with a smile, The main reason is that the car ran out of gas this morning, so it took some time.

Garden... garden!

After hearing this title, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up.

It's nothing, the party hasn't started yet anyway! She shook her head quickly, rubbed her head and chuckled, By the way, Brother Beihara, come in and sit down!

I'll go get you a cup of hot tea.

Then I'll trouble you.

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko who had turned around and walked towards the living room, Kitahara Hao said softly, and then walked into the entrance hall.

Mao Lilan was standing on the edge of the corridor at this time, looking at him with complicated eyes, opening her lips, but not knowing what to say.

In the end, he could only lower his head silently, turned around and walked into the living room.

It still seems a little difficult to communicate...

Looking at Mao Lilan's appearance when he left, Kitahara Hao couldn't help but think about it.

Forget it, take your time.

Anyway, she and I will stay here all day.

With this in mind, Kitahara Hao strolled into the living room and found a seat next to Mao Lilan who was drinking tea.

At this time, there were only two of them in the living room, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

Brother Kitahara, this is your black tea.

This atmosphere did not last long, and soon Suzuki Sonoko walked in with a cup of brewed black tea and a smile on her face.

Thanks.

Kitahara Hao took the black tea on the plate, smiled softly and thanked her.

Brother Kitahara, you don't have to be so polite to me! Suzuki Sonoko put the plate on the table and said softly.

Then she picked up her cup from the table, sat across from Kitahara Hajime, supported her white cheeks with the back of her hand, and looked at him with a smile.

...You really don't hide your behavior at all.

Beitahara took a sip of black tea and thought silently in his heart.

Well, Sonoko - At this moment, Mao Lilan, who had been drinking tea, looked up at Suzuki Sonoko and asked softly, Where is the bedroom we will stay in tonight?

Before coming to this villa, Suzuki Sonoko told her in advance that she would stay here for one night. It was impossible to go back now.

After all, it was an invitation from a good friend of mine since childhood, so he couldn't just say he was ready to go back as soon as he arrived.

What's more, she even brought her own luggage.

Your and Brother Beihara's rooms are on the second floor. I remember telling my sister to free up two rooms.

After seeing the backpack next to Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko said, You guys go to the second floor to put your luggage first. I'll go talk to my sister first!

Eh?

Me and Kitahara together? !

garden……

Before Mao Lilan raised her head and shouted her name, she saw that her figure had disappeared on the opposite side, and her expression gradually became a little confused.

I want to go to the second floor with Kitahara...

Come on, it's time to put your luggage away.

Kitahara Hao drank the black tea in the cup, picked up the black backpack placed aside, turned his head and whispered to her.

……Um.

After Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, he nodded gently.

Anyway, we just go to the second floor to put our luggage together. As long as we find our own bedroom, we don't have to stay with him...

Thinking of this, she stretched out her little hand and picked up the beige backpack beside her, stood up slowly, then lowered her head and followed Kitahara Ou in front.

The two walked towards the wooden stairs one after the other, and the sound of their footsteps on the stairs clearly reached Mao Lilan's ears.

arrive.

At this moment, Kitahara Hao in front stopped and said !;! to Mao Lilan who was still lowering his head.

You don't have to worry about bumping into anything when you walk like this...

Are you on the second floor?

Mao Lilan raised his head and looked at the row of rooms on the left, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

All she wanted now was to find her bedroom and spend some time alone there.

However--

Mao Lilan walked into the corridor in front and looked at the six rooms around him blankly.

It seems that Sonoko didn't tell her where her room was, right?
