Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

They never really asked Haiyuan for her opinions and views. They always thought that she would be nervous, worried, and scared after knowing the truth.

In the name of doing her best, he made the decision for her on his own initiative.

This was never good for her.

After taking a knife and cutting it open, you can actually find that those so-called good intentions hidden under the beautiful skin are actually disgusting machismo coming out of the bones.

But Lu Ren actually doesn't care about this. Whether it is male chauvinism or female chauvinism.

It's just a futile struggle by a boring person to maintain his own thin self-esteem.

True pride and confidence are never expressed in this narrow way.

People who try to interfere in other people's lives and forcefully make decisions for others are actually losers who are not confident enough.

A truly strong person has no need or bother to do this. As long as they do their own thing, others will spontaneously follow and imitate them.

As for these weaklings, they have no confidence and lack of confidence because they have been defeated again and again.

Instead of looking for reasons from yourself, you transfer the reasons for failure to others, thereby protecting your own low self-confidence.

They feel that their own methods are not wrong and the problems lie with others. So I forced myself to make decisions for others and started taking over everything.

But in a life that is already a failure and clouded with dark clouds, how can the putrid soil under his feet produce truly beautiful flowers?

Acting completely according to the opinions of these losers will only make you another loser.

The pride in Lu Ren's bones never allowed him to do such a thing, it was too low.

Rather than controlling other people's lives, he prefers to focus his time and energy on himself and control his own destiny.

There is a throne on the highest step. All he has to do now and in the future is to climb up step by step.

There is no guide ahead and no followers behind.

When he finally sat on the throne forged by loneliness, no one in the world had the right to crown him.

At this point, all beings are equal except him.

But if it was Xiao Ai, Lu Ren would be willing to share his power with her.

It doesn’t matter if there are no guides or followers. Having someone to go with you is enough.

It's okay even if you can't keep up with him for the time being.

If you find the road difficult to walk, then smooth it.

After the leveling, the slope is too steep, so build a cable car that reaches the sky.

Lu Ren's request for those who travel with him has never been to share adversity with him.

That would be too bitter.

It is enough to be able to share wealth and wealth with him.

Seeing that Haiyuan was silent for a long time, Lu Ren smiled and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry about them. If they want to hide it, let them hide it. Just watch the show next to them, watching them work hard, immersed in self-sacrifice and In the sweet dream of self-impression. No need to wake them up."

"They thought they did a good job of keeping their plan secret. They hid it from the organization and the FBI. They are probably still intoxicated with the success of the plan. But from the beginning, I knew they were thinking about something. What."

"Huh?" Looking at Edogawa Conan who was focusing on solving the case, Haibara asked in confusion, "Brother Jin, have you been monitoring them?"

"That's not necessary. How should I put it? A proud child, constantly showing off his toys to others. Those toys are very beautiful and exquisite. Everyone who passes by stops and admires them."

"But the total toy box this child owns is only that big. He can take it out from it, and there are only a few toys to show off to others. People around him look at it over and over again. No matter how exquisite the toys are, they are There will always be a day when you get tired of watching it.”

"If you wait a little longer, pedestrians will not only know the toy he puts in front of him, but also guess the toy he is hiding behind and will take out next."

"He thought he hid it well. But there are only so many things. And toys are always just toys."

"..."

Lu Ren seemed to have said a lot, but after Hui Yuan summarized it, he only had one sentence.

[I have seen through your little thoughts a long time ago. 】

"Brother Jin, Edogawa Conan will cry if you say that."

"How is it possible? That kid is quite strong. I believe in him."

Suddenly, Haibara Ai felt that she could understand Edogawa Conan.

Edogawa hid the matter from her, and Lu Ren's explanation was that Conan was afraid that she would worry.

This reason makes sense, but it is only one aspect.

More importantly, the real key reason is that she is not alone, Lu Ren is standing behind her.

Lu Ren, who was aloof and indifferent, extremely proud and extremely dangerous.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 488 Your wife is very kind

Edogawa Conan may be well aware of Lu Ren's indifference and pride.

Haibara tried to assume the identity of Edogawa Conan and use his perspective to view the entire incident.

That probably means that from beginning to end, regardless of Lu Ren's intention or not, Edogawa Conan has always lived under his protection.

But the word shelter can often be linked to shadow.

While the broad wings blocked the storm, they also blocked the sunlight that should have been visible to him.

The patronage itself may be benevolent. But for a young man who has grown wildly in the sun.

Living in someone's shadow means that he has lost the possibility of continuing to draw nourishment.

It's not like Edogawa Conan didn't resist.

It's just that his resistance and struggle seemed very weak and weak, so weak that Lu Ren didn't even notice that he had taken any action.

Regardless of whether Edogawa was obedient or rebellious, all he got in the end was "Well done."

[You can play whatever you want, I don’t care. 】

Just like Lu Ren said to her just now, everything is just a child's toy after all.

Regardless of whether Edogawa chose to show the toy to others or got angry and broke it and dismantled it.

In Lu Ren's eyes, it doesn't matter. They are all children's lively performances, worthy of appreciation and encouragement.

This kind of high-level scrutiny, judgment and even tolerance, even with good intentions, can sometimes make people feel painful, sad or even afraid.

But this time, Edogawa and Shuichi Akai teamed up to formulate and implement a plan, and they felt they had succeeded.

He hid it from the organization, the FBI, and even Lu Ren.

Haiyuan didn't know whether Conan thought about taking this opportunity to prove himself to Lu Ren when he was implementing the plan. He probably did.

But he failed after all.

Lu Ren actually saw what they did all the time.

Beneath his gentle appearance is an indifference that has never changed.

Yes, nothing has ever changed.

Edogawa and the others risked their lives and all their desperate efforts in exchange for the words "children's toys".

Edogawa Conan really makes you cry.

Huihara Ai said these words again, this time from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai? Can you hear me?"

After not hearing a response from the other end of the phone for a long time, Lu Ren began to worry whether Haiyuan was feeling a little depressed.

She still cares about Edogawa doing things without telling her.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren decided to increase his efforts to solve the problem.

As Subaru Okiya played a key role in the later stages of Conan, Lu Ren still remembers the plot of his first appearance quite clearly.

Although taking advantage of the prophet's plot and pretending to be a prophet or something like that, it was never part of Lu Ren's plan.

But if it was for Xiao Ai, then Lu Ren wouldn't mind being the one for once.

As long as they belittle and ridicule those two appropriately, Haiyuan's mood should be restored.

"You can hear me. Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"It's okay, I understand. Xiao Ai, you don't actually need to care about them. Even if they do this or that without telling you, it's still just a small fight and won't lead to anything."

"Hiding in the dark can be understood as forbearing, dormant, showing weakness to the enemy, accumulating strength and finally giving the enemy a fatal blow. But this also means that he does not have the ability to face challenges head-on and directly solve difficulties."

"To put it bluntly, he is not strong enough. He is called the ace simply because the people around him are too weak."

"Um……"

"Xiao Ai, didn't I tell you just now that I guessed their plan to fake death? You may not believe it yet..."

"No, Brother Ren, I..."

"It's okay, I'll demonstrate it to you live again. They are just kids playing house, it doesn't matter, it's easy to guess."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren paused for a moment, seeming to organize his words.

"The university graduate student's house was not burned down. When the arson case is solved, he will come over to talk to you, hoping to visit Dr. A Li."

[Do you know Dr. Ali? I want to meet him. 】

"When he arrives at the doctor's house, he will identify himself and say that he is a graduate student at a certain university and feels that he is qualified to work as a doctor's assistant. Then he will say that my apartment was burned down and he hopes to live there temporarily. it's here."

[I am a graduate student in the Department of Engineering. The house I live in was burned down. Can I live here until I find a new place to live? In my spare time, I will be your assistant to the doctor. 】

"Dr. Agasa will nod in agreement, but will ask for your opinion. Then you will shake your head and reject him. Then Conan will stand up and say that he can live in Kudo Shinichi's house next door."

[How about this, you go stay in Brother Shinichi’s room. It’s that room, and no one is living in it now anyway. 】

"At this time, Xiao Ai, just ask him in a low voice, why do you want to lend your house to a stranger? He will answer you..."

[Because there are no bad people who like Sherlock Holmes. 】

"Because there are no bad people who like Sherlock Holmes."

This sentence is like some kind of password containing special energy. The moment you hear it, time will flow again, forcing Haiyuan to walk out of his memories.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the house, and the warm light seems to have taken on a physical form at this moment, weaving everything around like an illusory, fragile dream.

Everything that happened before, looking back, seems to have been artificially covered with a hazy veil, making it difficult to see clearly and clearly.

Haihara Ai looked at Conan's face carefully, observing every detail of his face.

If she was actually living in a dream now, then she would definitely not be able to remember Conan's face clearly.

Well, it doesn't look like a dream.

"What's wrong with you, Huiyuan?"

A long time ago, Edogawa Conan discovered that Haibara behaved differently today than usual.

He didn't care much at first, thinking that maybe she didn't get enough rest.

But just now, this strange feeling reached its peak.

The look in Haiyuan's eyes just now made him feel extremely confused.

It seemed like she was pitying and pitying him.

But why is this happening?

"nothing."

It’s just that you have been completely seen through.

"Doctor, I have something to do tonight. You can take care of dinner yourself."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Haiyuan turned and left.

The moment she opened the door, the sunlight rushed in, leaving everyone behind her in shadow.

She didn't look back, and stepped briskly into the land of light. Under the gaze of others, she walked farther and farther until she disappeared.
