Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 252 1nd Choice

When Conan handed the photo he took on his phone to Toru Amuro, he was a little depressed: "He has this photo in his wallet. Is this Yuba?"

Amuro Toru took the phone and looked at it. This was an angle that was not in the video he had seen. It seemed to have been taken before that video.

Amuro Toru had watched that video countless times during the time he locked himself up drinking, and this photo does not belong to any frame of that video.

Conan rubbed his head unwillingly: "I have been with him for so many years, but I can't catch up with a guy who has only been with him for more than a month."

"Different."

"what?"

"Because this is unique to him, maybe Yuba was cloned for him from the beginning." Amuro Toru took Conan's phone, cleverly covered it and sent the photo to himself, then deleted the email sending trace, "Xiaoguang, maybe he just wants someone who will choose him first."

"I would choose him first...I see." Yusaku Kudo sat in the tea room of the Kudo residence, drinking black tea slowly.

"What do you mean? Can you please explain it clearly?" In front of Conan was the caramel pudding and black tea that Kudo Yukiko gave him, but he was in no mood to eat a bite.

"Some people would care about this a lot, whether they are best friends or not, whether they will be the first to share happiness." Kudo Yusaku put down his tea and smiled softly, "Among you guys, he will never be the best. For you, the first choice is Xiaolan, and for Xiaolan, the first choice... is you."

Conan blushed slightly and stirred his fingers: "But..."

"And Sonoko, probably because of her gender, is actually closer to Xiaolan. The four of you may seem like childhood sweethearts, but Xiaoguang has never been the one you most firmly chose. It's like playing hide-and-seek..."

"Hide and seek?"

"You probably don't remember, but when you were playing hide-and-seek at home, after you found Xiaolan, you became perfunctory in your search. One time, when you, Xiaolan and Xiaoguang were playing at Nagai's house, no one could find Xiaoguang, so you two continued to play other games and then went home. He hid in the stereo for a long time, and the Nagai couple didn't find him when they came back and even called the police. He didn't come out of the stereo until the next day."

"I…I don't remember that."

"He said he just fell asleep accidentally. But a kid of that age..." Kudo Yusaku looked at the half-empty cup of tea and sighed softly, "Of course, since then, he has never played hide-and-seek with you for more than half an hour. If you can't find him after half an hour, he will come out by himself."

"I didn't mean to do that. I probably thought he would come out on his own."

"Yes, but you just forgot." Kudo Yusaku looked at Conan, "From now on, when you need to choose between Xiaolan and Xiaoguang, Xiaoguang will take a step back. He always knows that he will not be the one you insist on choosing."

"I... I didn't mean that..." Conan recalled the time in New York when the killer raised his gun. Did Xiaoguang know from the beginning that he would not choose him? And at night, he had to comfort himself who felt guilty after making the choice.

"After he came into our family, we tried to be more accommodating and doting to him, but we failed. He probably thought that blood ties were indelible. Although he often seemed strong, when there was a real difference in interests, he would take a step back and not fight or compete."

Kudo Yukiko came over and sat next to Kudo Yusaku: "Xiaoguang has never fought with you for anything. In our opinion, he has compromised to the point where he gives you whatever you want. It seems that he bullies you a lot of the time, but think carefully, has he ever refused you when you asked for something?"

Conan recalled and had to admit that whenever he really wanted to act like a spoiled child, Nagai Hikaru had never refused him.

"So this clone brother of Yuba is so special to him. At any time, Xiaoguang is that person's first choice. Even when it comes to his own life." Kudo Yukiko picked up the black tea and sighed softly, "Even if he loses his memory, there is still someone in his memory who will unswervingly choose him at any time."

"Because Xiaoguang has never been firmly chosen by anyone." Kudo Yusaku looked at Conan who was staring at Pudding in a daze, "This is not your fault. Everyone has a different personality. He is more greedy and possessive than others in terms of emotional needs."

Kudo Yukiko stood up, sat next to Conan and hugged him: "Shinichi, God loves you. Now you don't have to worry about missing Xiaolan, and you don't have to feel guilty about Xiaoguang. You can start your life as Conan. As long as you bypass the trouble of the Black Organization, your future will be smooth."

Kudo Yusaku took out a cigarette, lit it, looked at the stunned Conan, and took a puff slowly: "Shinichi, we know you, now it's time to let Xiaoguang go."

"But...but..." Conan covered his face.

I clearly... I clearly chose him later...

Yukiko Kudo looked at Yusaku Kudo, and Yusaku Kudo shook his head slightly.

After Conan left, Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku packed up the tea cups together. Looking at the untouched caramel pudding, Kudo Yukiko sighed again.

Yusaku Kudo put the empty teacup on the tray and walked towards the kitchen with Yukiko Kudo.

"Yusaku, do you think Xiaoguang has really forgotten everything?" Kudo Yukiko suddenly asked.

"I suspect his amnesia was not caused by the organization, but is just the sequelae of a concussion." Kudo Yusaku replied.

"Does that mean there is still a possibility of recovery?"

"Yes, but this is a great opportunity to get Shinichi away from Xiaoguang completely."

Kudo Yukiko stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Xiao Guang is in danger. There is danger around Xiao Guang. He no longer needs to be involved in these troubles. This is a chance for him to get rid of all the troubles." Kudo Yusaku, who was holding a tray, turned and looked at Kudo Yukiko. "I believe you can see that Shinichi couldn't choose between Xiaolan and Xiao Guang back then."

"Then what you said..."

"That's just part of it. Xiaoguang is greedy for emotions, but for him, it's not the first choice. As long as people focus on him, he can act very happy." Kudo Yusaku raised his chin towards Kudo Yukiko and continued to walk to the kitchen: "Before, there were only Shinichi and the others around him, so Xiaoguang was the one who held on to them, but now Xiaoguang has more choices."

"You mean Xiaoguang let go of Shinichi?" Kudo Yukiko was very surprised.

"He just doesn't hold it as tightly anymore." The two finally walked into the kitchen, and Kudo Yusaku put the teacup into the sink. "Like you said, if we avoid the Dark Organization, Shinichi's future will be smooth sailing. And Xiaoguang obviously has a high position in the Dark Organization now."

As Kudo Yukiko was taking out a spoon and lifting up the pudding to eat it herself, her hands trembled: "Not a low status?"

"Because I will never believe that Karasuma Renya would let a puppet be his heir." Kudo Yusaku turned on the faucet and rinsed the teacup. "We got his situation wrong. Xiaoguang might really be the child of the Karasuma family."

.

When Gin approached the lounge, Karasuma Akimitsu, who was watching, took out a photo from his wallet and held it to the scented candle to light it.

"What's burning?"

"Some memories." Karasuma Akimitsu smiled and waved to Sally who was following Gin.

Sally ran over happily and held Karasuma Mingguang's hand on his head.

“How’s the election going this year?”

"It's been arranged. Several new councillors will take office, as well as new party officials." Karasuma Akimitsu threw the half-burned photo into the ashtray next to him. "Those six are gone, and it's going much more smoothly than when we were working with them."

"Aren't those police chiefs going to be replaced?"

"Hakuba and Hattori?" Karasuma Akimitsu smiled softly as if he remembered something. "It's okay. Hakuba is very smart. He discovered something was wrong a long time ago, but he diverted the attention of his men and his son to Kid, who is irrelevant. And Hattori and the others are in Kansai. It's easy for them to be deceived and replaced with the news."

Gin thought for a moment, walked over, pulled away Sally who was still rubbing Karasuma Akihiro's calf, and sat on the sofa.

"But Binga contacted me again." Karasuma Akimitsu confirmed that the photos were burned and stretched his back. "He finally discovered the organization's transformation from clues."

"I thought you would have attacked him a long time ago."

"I'm very interested in that all-age recognition. But it's said that it will take several months to complete and launch." Karasuma Akimitsu turned to look at Gin and found that he looked quite calm. "Don't worry, you will see grand fireworks."

"No, I don't care about that." Gin narrowed his eyes slightly, "That all-age recognition doesn't mean much to the organization." After all, judging from Karasuma Akimitsu's methods, those who have offended the organization usually don't live long enough to see their appearance changed.

"Binga was very difficult to kill before this software came out." This software is too targeted, and it is obviously a main storyline mission. The main storyline characters really have a strong protection shield.

"Difficult to kill?"

"Take the software if you can get it, otherwise destroy it. It won't be difficult to blow up that international police maritime agency he's in." Karasuma Akimitsu raised his hand, divided Gin's long hair hanging on the right side into three strands, and began to braid it.

Gin became impatient after seeing Karasuma Mingguang braiding for more than ten centimeters, and then began to tease Sally with the end of her hair, saying helplessly, "Don't let it develop a habit of chasing hair."

"It doesn't matter. I have my hair cut short now anyway." Karasuma Akimitsu said confidently.
