After Crossing, I Made Conan Cry

"Really, Mary, you're making it sound like I'm not a good person."

Noticing that Sera Masumi's eyes were getting more subtle, Yoyo couldn't help protesting with Akai Marie.

Her character design this time is a gentle one, why did Akai Marie talk about it, as if she was some kind of big devil behind the scenes.

Akai Marie glanced at her sideways, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes, she said with a light smile:

"I didn't say that."

As the car stopped downstairs in the Leeds apartment, Akai Marie unbuttoned her seat belt and said seriously to Sera Masumi in the back seat of the car:

"You don't have to worry about this guy's identity. At least one thing he didn't lie to you. We have known each other and worked together for seven years."

'Pa-ta--'

The lights in the apartment came on, and Youyou greeted the two of them:

"You don't need to change your shoes, just come in directly. By the way, Mary, I just sent someone to buy some children's clothes. You should go and try them on first."

Of course, she mainly greets Sera Masumi, after all, Akai Marie is too familiar with this small apartment.

Sera Masumi was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw her mother's familiarity, she went straight to the bedroom and walked over without asking.

She was taken aback for a moment, then scratched her head after realizing it, and grinned at Yoyo with an embarrassed smile.

That smile seemed contagious, causing the corners of Yoyo's lips to curl up involuntarily.

"Would you like something to drink?"

She opened the refrigerator and took a look, only to find that there was only the brand of orange juice she used to drink.

"Is orange juice okay?"

Yunyun turned her head to look at Sera Masumi, and asked softly.

"Orange juice is fine, please, Brother Che."

Sera Masumi followed Yoyo to the bar, and glanced at the entire apartment curiously.

The size of the apartment is small, but because there is nothing left, it looks a bit empty.

Sera Masumi has always called herself a high school detective, but her observation skills, which she is proud of, have repeatedly failed in front of Toru Hoshino.

It is said that a person's preferences, personality, and even status are often unconsciously reflected in dressing style, decoration style, etc.

So she originally thought that she could see something from this apartment, but the fact is that there is not a single personal item here.

The only thing that is certain is that Toru Hoshino should not come here very often.

Sera Masumi noticed sharply that the shelf life of the bottle of orange juice in Yoyo's hand was the latest date.

In other words, it means that these orange juices should be prepared by her just now.

She quickly glanced at the refrigerator again, and with the opening and closing of the refrigerator door, what came into view was a neat row of orange juice.

Only this brand of orange juice is in the fridge...

Is it because I like it, or is there some special reason?

Yunyun felt her gaze keenly, but she didn't show any displeasure at Sera Masumi's sneaky observation.

He just silently poured a glass of orange juice for her and Akai Marie who was still changing clothes.

Following the cup she gently pushed over, Sera Masumi slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Thank you Brother Che."

She smiled and said thanks, and as Yoyo's figure gradually left the wine cabinet, Sera Masumi noticed that behind her were a few bottles that were just blocked by her body.

Just like the orange juice I just found in the refrigerator, there is only one kind of wine in the wine cabinet.

"Bourbon Whiskey..."

She murmured unconsciously, and seeing Yoyo looking over suspiciously, she came back to her senses and said curiously:

"Does Brother Che like Bourbon very much? I see that all the wine here is Bourbon."

"Well, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Yoyo was taken aback by her question, and subconsciously turned her head to look over.

Bourbon ah...

She slowly set her sights on it, with a bit of indescribable complexity.

Sera Masumi also noticed that there seemed to be a bit of confusion in her eyes.

She was about to speak when she heard her mother's voice suddenly coming from beside her.

"It's been four years and you still love Bourbon so much."

After hearing the words, Youyou came back to her senses, she turned her head and looked over, and she was looking at those dark green eyes.

"No way, I've always been a very dedicated person."

When she said 'single-mindedness', her eyes hidden behind the glasses darkened slightly, which seemed a little more meaningful for no reason.

After their eyes met, they separated quickly.

There was a flash of thought in Akai Marie's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, she had perfectly hidden her thoughts.

Too lazy to think about those troublesome things for a while, Akai Marie changed the topic casually.

"What about Gin?"

There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, as if she was talking about wine, or as if she was using wine as a metaphor.

"Gin..."

Yoyo subconsciously recalled the smell of Gin, but when she noticed the playfulness in her eyes, Yoyo instantly realized what she meant.

She rolled her eyes at Akai Marie, with an expression of "I didn't expect you to be so gossip", and said helplessly:

"Hey, hey, when you talk about wine, just talk about wine, don't talk about anything else."

Seeing her reacting so quickly, Akai Marie slightly hooked the corner of her lower lip, and did not continue the topic.

"The two of us went to rest first. I'm exhausted today."

"OK, good night."

'click—'

The bedroom door was gently closed.

Akai Marie didn't go to bed as she said, but went to the window and gently raised the corner of the curtain.

Sera Masumi leaned over curiously, and Akai Marie ignored her.

Together, the two peeked down through the gap between the curtains.

When Sera Masumi was wondering what Akai Marie was looking at, Yoyo's figure suddenly broke into her sight.

Seeing her driving a car and gradually disappearing into the night, Sera Masumi tilted her head and asked with a puzzled look

"Mom, do you really not need to worry about him?"

"Well, go to sleep."

Akai Marie didn't mean to tell her everything, but fortunately Sera Masumi has long been used to this, although she was curious, but out of trust in her mother, she just shrugged her shoulders in the end and didn't continue to ask. .

With a 'click', the whole room became dark, and Sera Masumi could only hear Akai Marie's voice slowly coming from her side.

"Masumi, you just need to remember not to get too involved with him, but if you really have something you can't handle, you can also ask him for help. It seems that he will help you for my sake."

Akai Marie knew that she didn't have that much face, but through today's series of experiences, she also saw the temptation.

There are i6's temptations to Yoyo, and there are also Yoyo's temptations to her and i6.

Now it seems that on i6's side, she has become a thread that can hold Yoyo back.

On Yoyo's side, she is the 'tool' she uses to win the trust of i6.

But no matter what, even if it is just a 'tool', as long as it is used smoothly, the person who told her that he is 'specialized' in order to reassure her will not suddenly make her an abandoned pawn on the chessboard.

In this case, if Sera Masumi really asked her for something, as long as it didn't affect her, she probably wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, good night."
