Detective Conan: A Dream Come True, Ran is Startled

Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't enjoy the meal at all; her mind was filled with thoughts of the little boy.

Who exactly was the little boy who saved him?

She tried to recall the detail, but couldn't remember it no matter what she tried.

"Are you planning to continue shopping or go home? If you're going home, I can give you a ride," Lin Jin asked.

"Let's go home, it's getting late." Xiaolan and Yuanzi remembered Lin Jin's words.

“Okay, then I’ll take you back…Matsumoto-sensei, where do you live? I’ll take you home,” Lin Jin asked.

"Ah... thank you for your help." Matsumoto Sayuri snapped out of her daze and quickly gave him her address.

After getting into Lin Jin's car, Matsumoto Sayuri noticed a pink double hair tie hanging on the rearview mirror.

Curious, she asked, "What is this?"

"That girl gave it to me... I've always kept it with me, it's a kind of keepsake!" Lin Jin smiled and touched the pink double hair tie.

"I see." Matsumoto Sayuri breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

She had no recollection of giving that little boy this double hair tie.

It seems to be just a simple coincidence!

The girl Lin was talking about wasn't herself.

After returning home, Matsumoto Sayuri washed up and soon felt tired, so she went to bed and fell asleep.

In a daze, she dreamed of her childhood again.

Matsumoto Sayuri sees the little boy who saved her again.

As always, he brought himself a bottle of lemon tea.

This made Matsumoto Sayuri smile knowingly.

But just then, the boy spoke up: "I... I'm moving. This might be the last time I bring you lemon tea."

"Huh? Do we really have to move?" The little girl seemed reluctant, her eyes even welling up with tears...

"Yeah, something happened at home," the boy said helplessly. "If anyone bullies you in the future, you have to fight back bravely, okay? I'm not here anymore, so you have to protect yourself."

"I...I understand." The little girl nodded. She thought for a moment, then took off the pink double hair ties from her head and handed them to the little boy, saying, "This is for you...You must remember me and not forget me."

"Yes, I will keep it with me forever," the little boy said, nodding as he accepted the pink double hair tie.

The dream ends here.

Matsumoto Sayuri woke up from her dream, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Did I...did I give him a pair of hair ties? I don't remember doing that."

She was somewhat puzzled by this.

Just then, a noise came from the living room.

When Matsumoto Sayuri came out, she found that it was her father who had returned.

"Oh, Sayuri, you're still awake?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga greeted him.

"I just woke up... Dad, I want to ask you a question. Did I wear hair ties when I was little?" Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't remember anything from her childhood, so she turned to ask her dad.

“When I was little… let me think.” Matsumoto Kiyonaga recalled a dream he had on March 3.8th these past few days.

They were both dreaming about things that happened in the past, and in the dream, Sayuri was wearing a hair tie, a pink double hair tie!

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga said with certainty, "I remember it was a pink double hair tie... but I don't know how you lost it later."

"..." These words immediately startled Matsumoto Sayuri, and her emotions surged, unable to calm down for a long time!

"What's wrong? Your expression seems a bit off." Matsumoto Kiyonaga noticed this and frowned.

"N-nothing... I'm going back to sleep." After saying that, Matsumoto Sayuri closed the door and lay down again.

However, she just couldn't fall asleep, her mind filled with her father's words and the pink double hair tie in Lin Jin's car!

Chapter 107 We Promised to Kiss Each Other (1st Update)

Wedding dressing room.

Sayuri Matsumoto sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a gorgeous and beautiful wedding dress.

She looked at herself in the mirror, about to get married to Toshihiko Takasugi, but felt no joy at all.

Because she still didn't know whether Lin Jin had actually saved her little boy.

Just as Matsumoto Sayuri was hesitating and struggling with her decision, the door to the dressing room suddenly clicked open.

Upon seeing who it was, Matsumoto Sayuri exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Lin... what brings you here?"

"I came here today... to confirm something." Lin Jin walked up to Matsumoto Sayuri, looking intently at her, and asked, "Are you... that little girl?"

“I…I…” Matsumoto Sayuri’s heart trembled, but she dared not answer.

"Judging from your expression... it should be her." Lin Jin excitedly hugged Matsumoto Sayuri tightly and said, "Sayuri! Do you know how hard I've searched for you all these years?"

"I...I...I'm so sorry, Lin-kun." Matsumoto Sayuri felt a tremor in her heart, and her body and mind went limp.

She shed tears of joy and said guiltily, "I...I didn't recognize you. I mistook someone else for you."

"It's alright, we've already reunited, haven't we?" Lin Jin loosened his grip on Matsumoto Sayuri slightly.

“But… it’s too late.” Matsumoto Sayuri said, her joy mixed with guilt, “I’m already getting married to someone else.”

"It's not too late! The wedding hasn't even taken place yet, so there's still a chance to salvage the situation." Lin Jin gently stroked Matsumoto Sayuri's face.

“But… the wedding is already underway, and if it’s suddenly canceled, my dad will be very embarrassed,” Matsumoto Sayuri said, expressing her concerns.

"Is that so?" Lin Jin's expression was complicated. He sighed and said, "You're right, I was too impulsive. Can I... kiss you?"

"Huh?" Matsumoto Sayuri was taken aback, not expecting Lin Jin to make this request.

Of course, she wouldn't agree.

After all, she's now someone else's bride, so she has to keep herself pure and chaste.

Just as Matsumoto Sayuri was about to speak, Lin Jin silenced her with a kiss.

"Ugh!" Matsumoto Sayuri was startled, not expecting Lin to come in so suddenly.

She tried to push him away, but she couldn't budge him at all; he was like a mountain.

Besides, Sayuri Matsumoto felt her strength drain away all at once, and she couldn't exert any force at all!

Fine, let's kiss then!

Consider this a farewell to the past.

Matsumoto Sayuri thought to herself, and involuntarily gave a response.

But not long after, she suddenly discovered that something had sneaked into her clothes.

"!!!!" Matsumoto Sayuri was startled. She quickly separated them and said, "Rin...Rin-kun, don't do this..."

"Didn't we agree on just one kiss? Please don't do anything unnecessary."

"If someone else sees us, that would be terrible."

"........."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed in front of the makeup mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Matsumoto Sayuri felt an indescribable sense of shame!

But for some reason, behind this sense of shame, an indescribable joy secretly arose.

That made it impossible for her to hate him.

Matsumoto Sayuri knew that deep down she still liked being with that boy.

She simply mistakenly believed that Toshihiko Takasugi was that boy.

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

Happy times always seem to pass by too quickly.

After Matsumoto Sayuri closed her eyes contentedly, she quickly opened them again.

Looking at the familiar furnishings and decor of the room, she realized that she had just had a beautiful dream!

No matter how absurd the events in a dream may be, once you wake up, it's all gone.

This left Matsumoto Sayuri feeling extremely conflicted, yet she didn't know what to say.

All I could do was keep these surging emotions hidden in my heart.

She had just gotten out of bed and taken two steps when she felt something was wrong and looked down.

Wow~~~

It's already dripping.

This made Matsumoto Sayuri blush; she had never encountered anything like this before in all her life.

Go change into a dry pair of pants quickly.

My pants got wet, so I just changed into a dry pair.

But that dream was deeply rooted in Matsumoto Sayuri's mind, making it hard for her to forget.

During class, I was fine; my mind was focused on teaching.

But once I have some free time, this image will reappear in my mind.

As a result, Matsumoto Sayuri seemed somewhat restless all day.

After finally getting through school, she planned to go home and rest.

But for some inexplicable reason, she suddenly wanted to go to the riverbank to reminisce about her childhood.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, Matsumoto Sayuri stood at the spot where she had been bullied as a child, her emotions stirred, and she was once again lost in memories.

However, at that moment, three or four uninvited guests suddenly approached from a distance.

"Oh? There's a beautiful woman strolling along the riverbank."

"Hey girl, wanna play with us?"

"Don't worry, we'll be very gentle and won't hurt you."

"........."

Matsumoto Sayuri was shocked; she never expected that someone her age would encounter thugs!

She took out her phone and warned in a coquettish voice, "What do you want? Don't come any closer, or I'll call the police!"

"Call the police?" one of the thugs laughed loudly. "Go ahead and call! By the time the police arrive, we'll already be done for!"

The other two thugs sneered, "Heh, besides, do you even know what this place is called?"

"We took you away long before the police arrived! The police? They're all unreliable cowards!"

"........."

These words made Matsumoto Sayuri's expression turn somewhat unpleasant. As she watched the three thugs getting closer and closer, she suddenly felt a pang of regret, wishing she hadn't come.

737 Just as she was about to dial the police, a stone suddenly flew out and hit one of the thugs in the stomach with a thud, causing him to clutch his stomach in pain.

This sudden turn of events caused everyone to turn and look.

Lin Jin walked slowly across the riverbank.

"Damn it! Nobody's meddling! Let's get out of here!" Upon seeing this, the thug immediately called to his accomplices and ran away.

The three of them disappeared in a flash.

Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Lin Jin who had walked up to her and said gratefully, "Thank you, Detective Lin!"

"It's nothing." Lin Jin said with a playful expression, "Matsumoto-sensei, how come you're so old and still can't protect yourself?"

"Huh?" This sentence made Matsumoto Sayuri pause for a moment, and she couldn't help but connect it with the passage in her memory.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Jin asked.

"I... I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd take a look." Matsumoto Sayuri's heart stirred, and she began to probe.
