Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 278 Chocolate
Seeing Zhidao being taken away by the police, all the people present at the Faculty of Medicine of Mihua University woke up from today's nightmare in a daze, and the saddest person among them was Watanabe Komi.

Today is the annual Valentine's Day. Komi Watanabe, who was supposed to be happy because the boy she liked accepted the chocolates she sent, witnessed the death of her beloved in front of her eyes. There is nothing more sad than happy in life. this.

Therefore, looking at the sad Watanabe Haomi, Gao Yuan refused to accept the commission fee this time, and then left sadly-knowing that Minagawa Katsuhiko might be in danger today, but he still let the murderer succeed. Yan accepted the commission fee.

At sunset, in the park near [-]-chome, I left Takato, Haibara Ai, Mori Ran, Conan, Ayumi and others from the Minagawa family and walked here. As for Suzuki Sonoko, he was very sad and went home early.

Looking at the sunset in the sky, Mao Lilan couldn't help feeling a little melancholy:
"It should be a happy Valentine's Day, but I didn't expect it to be such a sad day."

Having said that, Mao Lilan took out the chocolate in her arms, and muttered to herself in a daze:

"What should I do with this chocolate?"

Thinking, Mao Lilan looked at Gao Yuan beside him——

"Miss Xiaolan!"

Suddenly, Junxiu Wakamatsu's voice came from behind the crowd. Looking back, he saw Junxiu Wakamatsu, a burly man wearing a red vest, ran to Mao Lilan with a smile on his face and said:
"So you are here? Ah, in fact, you only need to say one word, and I will take you home!"

"Ah... no need, thank you."

Faced with the enthusiasm of Wakamatsu Junxiu, Mao Lilan couldn't help but decline.

"Ah! That chocolate!"

Wakamatsu Junxiu didn't seem to hear Mao Lilan's refusal, but saw the chocolate in Mao Lilan's hand, and said expectantly:

"Is it for me!"

"no……"

Without waiting for Mao Lilan to deny it, Wakamatsu Junxiu took the chocolate from Mao Lilan's hand, and said happily:

"Thank you so much! I'm so touched!"

Seeing this, Mao Lilan's patience with Junxiu Wakamatsu had reached its limit. Angrily, she punched Junxiu Wakamatsu across the face, bringing up gusts of punching wind, and then hit the trunk behind Junxiu Wakamatsu. The surface of the trunk Suddenly a hole was punched——

"Really! Please don't make mistakes, okay!"

Roughly, Mao Lilan yelled at Shunxiu Wakamatsu.

And Wakamatsu Junxiu was obviously frightened by that moment just now——

"I'm sorry! I interrupted you!"

Horrified, Wakamatsu Junxiu dropped Mao Lilan's chocolate and ran away in a hurry.

Gao Yuan on the side, seeing the scene just now, couldn't help shaking his head helplessly—this guy, he probably won't harass Mao Lilan shamelessly again.

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan took back the chocolate, walked up to Gao Yuan solemnly, handed the chocolate, and said seriously:

"Mr. Wise, many things were thanks to your help before, and I don't know how to thank you. This is right, please accept it!"

Seeing this, Gao Yuan, the person concerned, and Conan beside him couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, while Hui Yuanai seemed to walk away a few steps in a fit of anger, and came behind Gao Yuan, with his back turned to Gao Yuan.

However, seeing Mao Lilan taking the initiative to send out chocolates, Ayumi was still a little hesitant, so she also took out the chocolates, walked up to Conan, and handed the chocolates over——

"Conan, please accept it!"

Regarding this, Conan, who was already a little dumbfounded, became even more at a loss.

At this time, Gao Yuan looked at the box of chocolates, and there was a note with the words "Xinyi" written on it, so Gao Yuan who was originally at a loss couldn't help showing a faint smile, and sighed——

"No, Mori-san. I can't accept this as Giri's chocolates for me. Also, if I accept this box of chocolates, Kudou-san might be angry!"

With that said, Gao Yuan pointed to the note that was still on the chocolate in Mao Lilan's hand.

At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered that after making the chocolate last night, she accidentally wrote the note attached to it, and couldn't help blushing shyly for a moment, and took the chocolate back.

"And, compared to me, it might be better to give it to this child! After all, he is very brave to protect you today! I think Kudou-san will understand if you give it to him."

Gao Yuan added.

After hearing this, Huihara Ai walked back to Gao Yuan silently, as if he was relieved, opened his eyes, and looked at Conan, who was a bit embarrassed, meaningfully.

And Mao Lilan also looked at Conan Gao Yuan was pointing at. Seeing the scene where Ayumi gave Conan chocolates, she was a little irritable, but she couldn't help but feel relieved, and then smiled and said——

"Oh, that's great, Ye Conan! You've got a lovely girlfriend!"

"Ah! Wait a minute! Sister Xiaolan, no!"

Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Conan couldn't help explaining in a panic.

"You're shy! So cute!"

Looking at Conan who was blushing, Mori Ran smiled, then looked at Ayumi with a smile and said:

"However, little sister, it's too early for you to give chocolates at this age! After all, Valentine's Day is a day for girls to gain the courage to love from chocolate and make important memories, so chocolate is sweet and bitter. of."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing Mao Lilan's words, Ayumi said half-understood, feeling that her behavior seemed a little sloppy, and then looked at the chocolate in her hand, and fell into a daze.

"correct!"

Mao Lilan seemed to have thought of something, took off the note on her chocolate and put it away, then opened the package, broke the chocolate, and said to everyone:

"Why don't we eat chocolate together! Use the taste of chocolate to wash away today's unhappiness!"

Hearing this, Ayumi also thought about it carefully, and took apart her own chocolate, and shared it with everyone.

Thus, the somewhat dull atmosphere was resolved in the sweetness of chocolate——

"By the way, Mr. Akechi, you seem to always call me and Shinichi, 'Maori-san', 'Kudou-san', it seems a bit too foreign. In fact, you can just call us by our names, otherwise we will always Called 'Maori Classmate', it always feels like I just met him."

Thinking about how Toshihide Wakamatsu, whom he just met not long ago, would call himself "Miss Xiaolan" and "Miss Xiaolan". Gao Yuan, who has known him for so long and has a good relationship, seems to be too alienated.

Hearing what Mao Lilan said, Gao Yuan, who was giving all the chocolates he got from Mao Lilan to Conan, couldn't help being a little surprised——

"Is that so? I'm sorry, Miss Xiaolan, I may be a little too serious about this."

After all, Gao Yuan has always maintained the habit of learning Japanese. In normal greetings, he is used to calling the other party's last name to show respect. This kind of address is generally not wrong, so Gao Yuan has always called others this way.

But now that Mao Lilan has said that, he should change his mind. This can be regarded as a step closer to Gao Yuan's relationship with the characters in the original work.

In this regard, Conan, who was happily eating chocolate, also agreed with Mao Lilan's statement.

And Hui Yuanai ate the chocolate silently, recalling the time when he and Gao Yuan talked alone, he seemed to have a similar feeling.However, compared to calling them, when Gao Yuan called himself, although he called himself by his surname, he was different from Mao Lilan and the others. He didn't add the courtesy name "SA N" after his surname.

In this regard, Huiyuan Ai couldn't help stretching out his right hand wearing the "lover" and stroked his temple hair, seemingly a little happy.

……

In the evening, after returning home, Hui Yuanai, who had already had dinner outside together, returned to his room first, while Gao Yuan stayed in the living room for a while before returning to his bedroom.

When he walked into the bedroom, turned on the light, Gao Yuan immediately caught it in his sight, that gift that shouldn't exist, but is now placed on the bedside table next to his bed, tied with a colorful ribbon——

The only person who can put things here should be...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan came to the door of the bedroom thoughtfully, looked in the direction of Hui Yuanai's room, then walked curiously to the bedside table, and picked up the gift——

It's chocolate!

Feeling the touch of the things inside through the tinfoil, Gao Yuan already understood what it was.

Involuntarily, Gao Yuan's heart warmed up, and he felt a little excited, but then a tear of emotion overflowed from the corner of his eyes——

This is the first time in my life!

From childhood to adulthood, in my 20 years of life, this is the first time I have received such a gift!
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan carefully opened the package, looking at the pure black chocolate inside, happily breaking off a piece, and putting it in his mouth——

Intensely bitter, but extremely mellow, this is dark chocolate without sugar...

This taste seems a bit familiar.

There is no cardboard, which is the so-called giri chocolate...

However, next month, what gift should I give in return?
