Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 29: To Alice, to the scumbag
Yingsheng continued to narrate:

"One night, Suzuki's sister, Miss Ayako, was dragged by her college classmates to Kabukicho to see me. She was a little reserved and quite quiet, sitting at the edge of the sofa, so I became interested in her.

There is no need to go into details about the process. In short, on the evening of the third day, I asked her out to see a movie alone, and she agreed. After that, we went on two more dates.

She used a pseudonym and I didn't know her real identity, or rather, I never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world.

A week after Ms. Ayako and I met, Ms. Suzuki mentioned her family during a date with me. She said that her sister, who was always gentle, had a fight with her fiancé. I comforted her and asked her to have a good talk with her sister.

The next day, Miss Ayako told me that her sister wanted to meet me, and I agreed. "

This is the end of the story.

Xiaolan opened her mouth in shock and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, she finally uttered two words in hatred.

"Scumbag!"

"I don't argue."

"Didn't they treat you like a hatchet?!"

"I am able to survive thanks to their generosity."

"Damn it! Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Shame is a useless emotion. I have apologized to both of them and expressed my willingness to do everything I can to make amends. I will just treat those days as a dream.

And they,
Suzuki slapped me, turned around and walked away, saying that she should just be blind.

Miss Ayako said nothing, but put down the gift she was going to give me that day and left. So far, we have never had any contact again. "

Snap——

Xiaolan collapsed heavily on the backrest, her eyes dull, and she murmured softly for a long time.

"You're going to hell."

"would not."

"Um?!"

Xiaolan sat up again suddenly, anger rising in her eyes. She had never seen such a shameless person!
Yingsheng said calmly: "In fact, I don't think I'm wrong. Just like all public relations jobs, just like the current popular girlfriend rental in Japan, the love experience I provide them for free is at least of a high level."

Bang! ! !
Xiaolan slammed the table, stood up, glared at Yingsheng and gritted her teeth.

"You guys, are you trying to talk about gender equality?"

“That might count as one aspect.”

"But the most important thing is your deception!"

"I never promised them anything, and I told them more than once that if I didn't feel loved, I would leave."

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Xiaolan was so angry that she laughed.

"Do you really know what love is? You use that carefully disguised falsehood to touch other people's hearts, how can you possibly get a genuine response? How can your god possibly approve of it?"

"!!What?"

"Your gods will not recognize you!"

"!!!!!!"

It felt like an electric shock, with numbness all the way from the scalp to the soles of the feet.

Xiaolan's words were like a sharp blade that pierced Yingsheng's heart, making him tremble with fear.

Hey, hey, that’s not necessary!
Is it possible that the system's judgment of love also involves his own parameters? ! Is it really that tricky? This kind of thing is simply impossible!
Kiyoko...

Did he ever fall in love with Qingzi?
No, no, no, there's no reason.

What exactly is going on? !
Yingsheng supported himself on the table with one hand, barely sitting steadily, without saying a word, with his eyes closed. All kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind, and the panel emerged in his mind.

【Love: 2】

[Killing Intent: 21 (Ability : Frenzy)]

[Remaining lifespan: 1 days]

Since love and murderous intent are on par with each other, then the ways in which they are acquired must have something in common.

Think about it carefully, when those people wanted to kill him, did he also want to kill them? The target is too broad and difficult to analyze, so let's take the only person who is still alive after they wanted to kill him as the target.

Gin.

Did he ever think of killing this man?
Oops! Very Oops!
Of course the answer is yes!
Since the other party has already developed murderous intentions towards him, why not find an opportunity to kill him and wipe him out completely? Is he still going to keep him around for the New Year? !

Ruined……

If love really requires such a prerequisite, then his death is not far away.

Kiyoko... Kiyoko...

Is she special?
No, maybe he just needs to show a certain authenticity so that the other person won't fall in love with an illusion?
Or, should he learn some hypnosis?

As long as he could hypnotize himself and make himself think that he was really in love with someone else, perhaps it would work.

"Suiyue-kun? You..."

"nothing."

Xiaolan's voice actually sounded a little worried, and Yingsheng interrupted her with a smile without any hesitation. He opened his eyes, feeling calm and his body had relaxed again.

"Can you go?"

"Okay, are you... okay?"

"I was just a little confused by your rebuke, but when I think about it, it's not a big deal." Yingsheng smiled and raised his hand, calling the waiter to come over to pay the bill. "Besides, I still think I did nothing wrong, and I don't owe them anything."

"Ugh……"

After the extreme anger, Xiaolan felt a little depressed and just shook her head slightly.

"You are hopeless."

"I am such a hopeless guy. If you feel sick, just go home. That way I can let go and vent my anger later."

"vent?"

"Of course I have all kinds of unhappiness, but I hide it very well."

The waiter came over and before he could say anything, Yingsheng handed him a bank card.

"Double, as atonement for our noise."

The waiter nodded and walked away. Not long after, the quiet piano music in the restaurant suddenly changed.

The melodious tune flows softly like a spring, drawing beautiful water ripples under the crystal chandelier. The melody suddenly reaches a climax and the tune is passionate. Every leaping note seems to be flashing with a bright light, drawing gorgeous light tracks in the air.

Xiaolan and Yingsheng sat there quietly, listening to the beauty of this tranquility.

After a while, the music came to an end, and a waiter dressed in British style walked slowly over with a small round plate. On the plate were two thin high-heeled glasses. The light yellow wine was shaking gently on the wall of the glass, and there were still a few bubbles coming out.

Yingsheng took a wine glass and held it high.

"To Alice." (piano piece)

Xiaolan sighed, took another one and touched it.

"To my fellow scumbags."

clang--

The wine glasses clinked gently.

The two smiled at each other, took it back, and drank it all in one gulp.

After picking up the helmet and leaving the restaurant, the next to join were Knight Yingsheng and Knight Ran.

"You'd better not do that kind of thing again."

The motorcycle was speeding through the traffic as nimbly as a fish, the wind was whistling, Xiaolan advised.

"Never again." Yingsheng said.

"Do you really need affection?"

"It's not that I crave it too much, but without it, I would wither and die."

"Are you serious?"

"It's true."

Xiaolan was silent for a long time. Finally, she raised her hands that were supporting the back of the motorcycle and slowly put them around Yingsheng's waist.

"can I help you?"

She leaned on Yingsheng's back and spoke softly.
