Conan used a voice changer to explain that he was seasick and not used to the environment on the boat. His previous reasoning was also wrong, and he apologized to Grandpa Mo Yi.

Finally, I told you to just sit for a while.

Grandpa Mo Yi naturally knew that this was what Conan said, but he was still satisfied, at least he avoided unnecessary trouble.

Being watched by the police all day long always makes people uncomfortable. Although magic can be used to modify the memories of relevant people, this kind of thing can be avoided and I still want to avoid it. If I rely on magic to solve everything, I will not be able to enjoy the fun of daily life.

"Then we'll leave first."

After saying goodbye to Mao Lilan, Asuna left the room with Grandpa Mo Yi.

No one likes to be around the police unless it is necessary, even if they know they are good people who protect them.

When Grandpa Mo Yi was leaving, he revealed something to Conan through telepathy, telling him that Kogoro Mouri had known about his misconduct for a long time and that Conan had knocked him out to solve the case on his behalf.

The other party is just pretending to be stupid and pretending to be fooled by you, but in fact he is playing tricks on Conan behind your back.

Before leaving, seeing Conan's constipated expression, I could guess that the two of them would soon engage in a love-hate relationship.

It's quite fun to play a trick on Kogoro Mouri.

Chapter 482: Mo Yi: The moonlight is so beautiful tonight

Feeling the gazes from all around, Asuna, who had been keeping her head down and letting Grandpa Mo Yi lead her away, raised her head and asked shyly:

"Mo Yijun, where are we going?"

When leaving Aozaki Touko, Grandpa Mo Yi consciously took her hand and left. There was nothing wrong at first, but as time passed and people around looked at them with envy, surprise, memories or curiosity, the external blood and impulse subsided, and Asuna's cultivation and reserve as a young lady gradually regained the initiative in her brain.

When you walk a few steps like this, you will meet someone you don't know. For those who have never been in a relationship, trying to hold hands for the first time is a very novel, interesting and difficult thing.

After several minutes, Asuna finally couldn't bear the shame in her heart anymore and she suddenly stopped. Grandpa Mo Yi, who was walking in front of her holding her hand, naturally felt it and stopped as well.

Looking at the other person's charming and seductive look, wanting to retract his hand but unable to do so, trying hard to suppress his shyness, Grandpa Mo Yi felt that the other person was inexplicably cute, and there was no trace of her previous initiative or the impression of being decisive that she had given him in the past.

Maybe it's because everyone has several masks of different personalities. When the distance between people becomes different, the other person they see also changes quietly.

No matter what, Grandpa Mo Yi could feel that he was very close to the other person at the moment, as if he could feel the heat of the other person's breath if he took a step forward. By holding hands, he seemed to be able to understand the rhythm of the other person's heartbeat. If he took another step closer, he would feel the other person's bright red.

"I haven't thought about it yet—"

Grandpa Mo Yi smiled and looked around at the unfamiliar environment. Of course, this was not a problem for him. As long as he set his mind to it, there was no place he couldn't find.

"Why don't you keep walking? Maybe we can get to where we want to go soon."

Asuna was a little annoyed when she heard Grandpa Mo Yi's answer, but she soon found that she seemed to agree with what he said in her heart, and she really didn't seem to have anywhere she wanted to go, but she didn't want to go back so soon, and wanted to walk like this for a while.

"Then let's go -"

The two of them didn't talk much while walking, but they didn't feel bored. After walking for a few minutes, they came to the deck.

Perhaps because it is surrounded by endless ocean and free of pollutants from human industry, the sky appears clearer and brighter, and every star is full and shining. Looking around, you can see the vast sky.

Of course, for modern people, this unchanging scenery is obviously outdated. Everyone is busy with his own affairs. Those who work day and night to make a living have no time to stop and look up. The rich families who have mines at home are busy with various nightlife activities. Isn’t watching young ladies more interesting than such backward things as watching the stars?

So, when Mo Yi's grandfather Asuna came to the deck, there were only two or three kittens on it. Most of them were middle-aged and elderly people who came out for a walk after dinner and to enjoy the sea breeze.

"Mo Yijun, do you know?"

Asuna leaned her hands on the railing, her face full of excitement, as if she had found a rare bright-colored shell on the beach. She had a bright and innocent smile on her face, and she couldn't wait to share it with the only child around her who could share it.

Grandpa Mo Yi: "Hmm?"

Mo Yi must have cooperated at this time, looking at the very excited Asuna with a curious expression, waiting for the other party to continue speaking.

"Every star we see now is a light that was emitted many years ago and may have been extinguished long ago."

"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful starry sky. Before, when I was in the city, I could only see two or three dim stars."

"Luckily, I didn't miss it tonight. Maybe one of the stars will be the last one humans can see."

In fact, Asuna didn't know what she was saying. She just wanted to say something in such an atmosphere to express her joy and share her happiness and discoveries with others.

"Uh-huh--"

Seeing Asuna talking so happily, and looking at her for a while and then saying a few words, Grandpa Mo Yi felt that he should just nod and agree with what she said.

After a while, Asuna realized that she was the only one talking, while the other party nodded like a silly goose and stuck out his tongue a little embarrassedly. It was not a malicious act of cuteness. Grandpa Mo Yi could see that this was a subconscious behavior of the other party.

No matter how heroic she usually is, she is, after all, a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, a child who does not need to worry about too many things. It is normal for her to have such a side.

After seeing Grandpa Mo Yi suddenly laugh, Asuna also remembered her behavior just now and said shyly:

"Mo Yijun, don't you have anything to say?"

Yes, that's right, Asuna just wanted to change the subject.

Grandpa Mo Yi wanted to express his feelings directly, "You were very cute just now. I think it's better to live life in a way that allows you to laugh when you want to laugh and cry when you want to cry." However, he felt that under such a rare starry sky, such a slightly preachy statement was not appropriate. After a pause, he said:

"You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs; the bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams."

"Um--"

Although Asuna had never seen this poem, this "Fragment" was simple and easy to understand. Even ordinary people could understand it at once, let alone an excellent student like Asuna.

Breaking down the beautiful artistic conception of the poem and connecting it to the scenes just now and now, Asuna quickly realized that what Grandpa Mo Yi meant was that she was looking at the scenery just now, while he was listening to her whispers and looking at her.

This kind of artistic praise was extremely devastating to an artistic girl like Asuna. It instantly broke her armor. She turned away sheepishly, pretending to be attracted by the starry sky on the other side. In a deliberately casual tone, she asked:

"Mo Yijun, are you always this good at talking to others?"

"No--"

To be honest, Grandpa Mo Yi rarely uses such a literary and tactful tone to speak to others. He mostly uses this way of speaking to people he is not very familiar with, or people he wants to become more familiar with.

After hearing what Grandpa Mo Yi said, Asuna, who was carrying Grandpa Mo Yi on her back, felt relieved for some reason and inexplicably happy, but she didn't know what to say next.

"Don't you have any other feelings?"

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight—"

The sea breeze suddenly became stronger, blurring Grandpa Mo Yi's words.

But in this mood, Asuna suddenly understood why the other party had been nodding and listening to her talk. It was probably because of this mood.

Looking up, the moon on the sea seemed bigger, farther, brighter, and more beautiful than the moon in the city. I said with some agreement:

"It is indeed beautiful."

Apparently, Asuna didn't grasp the double meaning of the phrase 'The moonlight is so beautiful'.

Grandpa Mo Yi didn't want to expose it. This slightly hazy distance seemed pretty good. Time like this is one day less each day, so it's better to cherish it now.

"Na——"

After a moment of silence, Asuna seemed to remember something. She looked at Grandpa Mo Yi with a slight smile and asked curiously:

"Mo Yijun, what kind of person are you going to be in the future?"

The easiest topics to talk about among young people are obviously life and dreams, especially between a man and a woman. Otherwise, how could there be a joke like "Let's go to your room tonight to talk about life and ideals"?

Of course, this is a vulgar statement. For young men and women, life and ideals are very serious and desirable things. Only close friends will speak of them solemnly.

Asuna's question gave Grandpa Mo Yi a sense of déjà vu, as if he was about to set an incredible goal in the next second.

only--

Grandpa Mo Yi, who is now in his third life, seems to have no idea of ​​any particularly serious ideals. He seems to have done everything he wanted to do. The only thing he wants to do is to find the way back to his original home, but this is hard to say.

Now, he just wants to live the life of a retired cadre, create some interesting works when he has time, go out for a while when he is tired, and go home to have someone prepare dinner for him. Well, this is such a hopeless idea.

If he said that, Asuna might laugh at him, like an old man, so Grandpa Mo Yi thought about it and borrowed a line from the shredded rake:

"I want to be a partner in justice!"

Asuna clearly hadn't anticipated such an answer, but while the other person's expression seemed casual, the firmness in his eyes revealed his true intentions. (Grandpa Mo Yi: On the Self-cultivation of Actors)

If it was a scientist, lawyer, policeman or a secular rich person, Asuna would not be surprised, but the partner of justice seemed very powerful but she did not quite understand it.

However, young girls are really attracted to this and admire boys with great ambitions.

“It’s great to know what kind of person you want to be—”

Asuna's tone sounded somewhat lost and depressed, and she confided in a low voice:

“I just don’t know what I want.”

"As far as I can remember, it seemed like everything was arranged for me. As long as I followed my parents' plan, I would become a successful daughter in their eyes."

"To be honest, I'm a little confused."

At this point, Asuna smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"Of course, I also know that this is my parents' love. Many people want such an arrangement but don't have it. In the eyes of others, my complaints are like being in a good place and not knowing how to appreciate it."

"But I still can't suppress the feeling of confusion and boredom in my heart, and I want to break free from the cage I have created in my imagination."

"I also want to figure out what kind of person I want to be."

"···"

Just like that, under the night sky, one person was talking and the other was listening quietly, and time just passed by.

"I'm sorry—"

After finally unloading the words that had been accumulating in her heart and that she had never told anyone before, Asuna felt completely relaxed. Even Grandpa Mo Yi in front of her became more pleasing to the eye and adorable.

But I felt a little uneasy. I thought I had said some boring words. Would the other person think I was a weird person?

"Said some weird things to you."

"No--"

Grandpa Mo Yi shook his head and said with a smile:

"I feel like this Asuna is more real. Now, I can close my eyes and picture in my mind a girl with her own ideas, a stubborn streak, and a somewhat clumsy response to other people's expectations."

Well, Grandpa Mo Yi’s words penetrated the opponent’s armor again.

Asuna's face flushed red, she felt like she was being seen through, shy and happy at the same time, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

"Cough-cough-"

Grandpa Mo Yi also noticed the other party's embarrassment. It was not a good idea to continue chatting in this awkward manner, so he prepared to talk about other interesting things to ease the atmosphere.

"I suddenly remembered a story."

Asuna continued:

"what story?"

"A story that takes place on a luxury cruise ship, about a poor male painter and an aristocratic girl who is dissatisfied with her fate and constantly struggles with it."

After successfully arousing Asuna's interest, Grandpa Mo Yi slowly and calmly told the classic story of the Titanic.

Asuna was quickly attracted by this story that was played every Valentine's Day. At the end of the story, she heard that Jenny's fiancé picked up a little girl and pretended to be her father in order to board the lifeboat to escape.

But Jack, whom he looked down upon, let go of Jenny in order to give her the best chance of survival, and let the small wooden board bear Jenny's weight to prevent it from sinking under the weight of both of them. In the end, both of them died at sea.

Through this comparison, it is further shown that Jack, a good-for-nothing, impoverished painter who even obtained his boat ticket through gambling, is the one who truly loves Jenny.

Well, Jenny got married in the end, and she told this story to her granddaughter when she was dying.

Seeing this, Grandpa Mo Yi felt like eating shit. Maybe it was the difference between Chinese and Western cultures. According to Eastern culture, Jenny should stay somewhere for the rest of her life, waiting alone for someone who would never come back. This is the most orthodox ending that fits the Eastern beauty of imperfection.

Of course, when he was young, Grandpa Mo Yi also felt that Jack and Jenny were in true love and were good people, and that the fiancé was a bad person.

When I got older and watched it several times, I certainly felt that they were in true love, but it was no longer as pure as before.

The cheated fiancé is also quite pitiful. Does it mean that he deserves to be cheated on?

However, since he told this story to Asuna, Grandpa Mo Yi would definitely not seek death and point out that their behavior was wrong and immoral.

"Mo Yijun——"

Asuna's eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said dissatisfiedly:

"Why don't you let Jenny and Jack survive successfully? If you make up stories like this, be careful that someone will send you knives."

Grandpa Mo Yi: “…”

I am a man who aspires to be a warrior of love. Any story that does not heal the readers is not a good story. Even if it has a happy ending, it will force the reader to be depressed. Take "Léon: The Professional" for example. Leon almost escaped but was shot dead by the psychopathic inspector from behind. This is true love!

"Ahem, this is a true story, not something I made up."

After hearing what Grandpa Mo Yi said, Asuna asked curiously:
