Chapter 1213 The Lost Letter

At this time, Guangyou was lying comfortably in the bathtub and taking a bath.

He leaned against the bathtub, and used his mobile phone to exchange text messages with Xiao Ai.

Today is the topic Xiao Ai raised first.

She said that the three of Ayumi came to Dr. Ali's house to play video games after dinner today.

The research on the antidote cannot be discovered by the three of Ayumi.

So, she took it as a few days off for herself.

After studying for so many days in a row, I often stay up late to study.

Moreover, she had been ill not long ago. Although she recovered from her illness, her body has not fully recovered.

She should really give herself a day off.

Work and rest.

The body is the most important.

After taking a bath, Guangyou leaned against his own bed and continued to exchange text messages with Xiao Ai.

Before entering the high-intensity research work, Xiao Ai and he often texted each other like this until they fell asleep.

The same is true today.

Since he wanted Xiao Ai to go to rest earlier, Guangyou deliberately ended the chat early.

Saying goodnight to each other, Guangyou also put away his cell phone, lay down in bed, closed his eyes and waited to fall asleep.

Early the next morning.

After washing up and having breakfast, Guangyou took the things he bought for Xiao Ai and went to find Xiao Ai.

When he arrived, Xiao Ai had already woken up and was sitting at the table having breakfast.

Seeing Guangyou, Xiao Ai said hello:
"Good morning."

"Good morning."

After Guangyou finished replying, Xiao Ai asked Guangyou:

"Did you go shopping again yesterday? So much."

Sitting next to Xiao Ai, Guangyou said to her:

"Isn't it because the weather has turned cold recently and the temperature has changed a lot?"

"I happened to be outside yesterday and bought a few sets of clothes by the way."

"These bags are all for you."

"In addition to clothes, there are scarves, gloves and so on."

"After breakfast later, I'll go back to the room and try." Xiao Ai said after eating breakfast and swallowing.

"Yeah." Guangyou put the shopping bag aside first.

Then he said:

"I'll knit a scarf for you someday."

"It's really strange that you, a boy, can knit scarves." Xiao Ai said, stirring the oatmeal in the bowl with a spoon.

"I used to learn everything when I was idle and bored when I had no tasks." Guangyou explained to her.

He used to stay at home when the mission was over.

Because it was too boring, I found something for myself to do.

And weaving scarves is what he learned when he felt bored in winter and suddenly became interested.

"By the way, what are Ayumi and the others doing?" Guangyou looked aside and asked Xiao Ai.

When he arrived, he not only saw Xiao Ai, but also Ayumi and the other three on the other side.

I don't know if something is missing, Ayumi and Dr. Ali, a total of four people rummaged around.

While eating breakfast, Xiao Ai explained:
"I don't know where the doctor put a letter."

"A few of them are looking for it now."

"Letter? All right."

Glancing at the three Ayumi who were rummaging around, Guangyou asked Xiaoai again:

"Speaking of which, these three children came here so early?"

"Or yesterday they didn't go back at all."

"Didn't go back at all." Xiao Ai raised her chin and motioned to get off the bed in that direction.

She said:
"It's the same as the last time I went to the screening, the three of us were lying sideways on the bed."

"Oh." Guangyou nodded.

While the two were chatting, Conan also came to Dr. Ali's house.

In the morning Xiaolan went shopping with Yuanzi.

He has no interest in shopping and chooses to stay in the office.

He was bored by himself, so he wanted to come and have a look.

Pushing open the door and walking in, seeing the messy living room, Conan leaned over to Guangyou and asked:
"What are they doing? Cleaning up?"

Afterwards, Guangyou told Conan about Dr. Ali's loss of the letter.

Idle is also a choice, Conan decided to help find it.

And Guangyou raised his head slightly, looking at the ceiling.

He always felt as if he forgot something.

I just can't remember it for a while, it's the same as a few days ago.

At this time, Xiao Ai had already finished her breakfast.

As soon as she put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, she said to Guangyou:

"I'm going to try on the clothes you bought."

"Okay." Guangyou also stood up from the chair, ready to clean up the dishes.

After trying on the clothes, Xiao Ai put them away.

At this time, Guangyou was almost finished cleaning up.

But until now, Ayumi and the others on the other side still haven't found the letter that Dr. Ari lost.

"Doctor, what does the letter you mentioned look like?" Conan asked Dr. Ali.

If he wants to have characteristics, there should be a lot of mansions.

After recalling the appearance of the letter, Dr. Ali said:

"The letter came in a postcard-sized envelope."

"I can't remember the details."

After finishing speaking, Dr. Ali scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Doctor, what is that letter about?" Ayumi asked without knowing much about it.

"It's a wedding invitation for the son of a friend of mine who is a doctor." Dr. A Li said with some embarrassment.

He said:
"It seems that there is still a reply postcard in the envelope that needs to be sent back today to confirm whether to attend."

"Such an important thing, doctor, you should put it away." Yuan Tai said while helping to find it.

"That's right." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Guangyou suddenly noticed a "decoration" on Xiao Ai's hair who had returned to the living room.

He suddenly realized:
"So that's what happened!"

"Could it be today that Fushahui and the doctor agreed upon?"

He saw a golden ginkgo leaf on Xiao Ai's hair.

Ginkgo biloba reminded him of what that important thing was:
——That is the ten-year agreement between Dr. Ali and Fushahui.

And the golden ginkgo leaves are reminding him that the agreed time is coming soon.

He only remembered the approximate time they agreed on, but he couldn't remember the exact time.

As soon as she returned to the living room after trying on the clothes, Xiao Ai heard several people complaining.

Then she said aloud:

"You guys just stop complaining."

"The reason why the letter disappeared has something to do with you who came to play video games last night, but messed up this place."

"It's true." Mitsuhiko and Yuantai lost their confidence in an instant.

Wiping her hands with a towel, Guangyou walked up to Xiao Ai and reached out to help her remove the ginkgo leaves from her hair.

"Xiao Ai, did you go to school this morning?" Guangyou asked.

"Well, I went to school with Ayumi this morning to see the school rabbit." Xiao Ai nodded.

She said:
"The place where the rabbits are kept is near the road with the ginkgo trees."

"It should have floated into my hair at that time."

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ayumi stopped what she was doing and stroked her own hair.

She also found a golden ginkgo leaf in her hair.

"Rabbit?" Guangyou said after thinking about it, "I remember hearing a girl say that the rabbit seems to be sick yesterday."

Didan Primary School has the habit of raising this kind of small animal, which is said to cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility.

So far, the effect is not bad.

However, this is limited to most girls and some boys.

"So I went to school with Ayumi in the morning to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ai glanced at the things that had been turned up all over the floor, and asked:
"By the way, haven't you found that letter yet?"

"No." Ayumi shook her head.

Squeezing his chin and recalling what Dr. A Li usually did after receiving the letter, Guangyou said:
"I remember that after the doctor reads the letter and the like, he usually puts it on TV."

"Could it have fallen behind the TV?"

"Where did you find it just now?"

"No." Ayumi shook her head.

Hearing this, Mitsuhiko walked to the TV, bent over, and glanced into the gap behind the TV.

Seeing that there was indeed something like a letter in the gap, Mitsuhiko said to everyone:
"There are really a lot of things!"

"Look."

He reached out to take out all those things and then raised his hand for everyone to see.

There are several envelopes in his hand.

There was a layer of dust on the envelope because it was left in the gap behind the TV for a long time.

"We should start looking for this kind of place from the beginning." Conan was a little speechless.

Seeing the letter, Guangyou muttered:
"It seems that it is really today."

"What today?" Xiao Ai asked in confusion when she heard this sentence.

"Actually, it's nothing." Guangyou briefly explained the situation to Xiao Ai, "It's the thing I told you about the doctor and his childhood sweetheart before."

"That thing?" Xiao Ai remembered.

Guangyou had talked to her before.

But because he didn't want to break the agreement between the two, he didn't take any action.

Instead, I wanted to see if there were other opportunities.

But so far no chance.

After that, there are many things, and there is no time at all.

"Is the appointed day coming soon?" Xiao Ai asked again.

"Yeah." Guangyou nodded and said to her, "And it is very likely that it will be today."

"Then let the two of them solve it by themselves?" Xiao Ai looked at Guangyou and asked.

"Well, if the agreement is today, then let Dr. A Li find the other party by himself." Guangyou had already made the same decision as Xiao Ai.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, or wants to be lazy or something.

Since it was an agreement between Dr. Ali and Fushahui, let the two of them do it by themselves.

What is his meddling?
To this, Xiao Ai nodded in agreement.

She feels fine.

As a girl, she understands this feeling very well.

Sitting on the sofa with the letters in hand, everyone began to read each letter.

I found many letters, postcards, greeting cards, etc., for example:

New Year's cards, summer greetings, and even expiring driver's license replacement notices.

Dr. Ali was surprised to find these things:
"These are all things I thought were missing."

In addition to these there are several letters.

A postcard at the top attracted Xiao Ai's attention.

"This word is very cute."

"You can tell it was written by a child at a glance." Guangyou also said something.

The two then looked at each other.

Although Xiao Ai didn't ask, but her asking eyes were enough to explain everything.

Guangyou, who understood in seconds, nodded in affirmation.

However, this star film only attracts Guangyou and Xiaoai.

And the attention of Dr. A Li, the person involved back then.

The rest of the attention was still on the disappearing invitation.

After a short pause, Guangyou put aside the postcard that was most likely painted by Fusha, and then picked up the next letter.

He looked it over, and said:

"It should be this."

"Doctor, I found it!" Ayumi said.

But when several other people raised their heads to look at Dr. A Li, they found that Dr. A Li was holding the postcard with the lovely words just now.

He looked down at the postcard with a reminiscing look on his face.

Several people yelled a few times before Dr. Ali came back to his senses.

"Doctor, did you find anything interesting?" Yuan Tai asked curiously.

"It's the postcard written by the child just now!" Ayumi didn't have any other thoughts, so she simply said what it was.

The precocious Mitsuhiko guessed casually:
"Doctor, is that the love letter someone gave you when you were a child?"

Hearing this, Dr. A Li blushed slightly.

Even Mitsuhiko himself didn't think of it.

He guessed it casually, and it turned out to be pretty close.

Although the postcard is not a love letter, the two of them may not have realized that kind of relationship back then, but it does have the meaning of a love letter.

A ten-year agreement is indeed quite romantic.

"No." Dr. A Li explained with a blushing face, "This is a postcard that a friend gave me a long time ago."

"It was 40 years ago."

"40 years ago?" Conan was a little surprised.

Calculating the time, Guangyou asked:

"At that time, doctor, you should be in the sixth grade of elementary school, right?"

"Yes." Dr. Ali nodded.

As he recalled, he told several people about that time:

"I remember that day was just after the end of the summer vacation, the first day of the end."

"Because I was going to be late, I took a shortcut."

"It turned out that there was a girl from the lower grades hiding behind a telephone pole."

"Looks terrified."

"A dark wide-brimmed hat can't hide those big black eyes."

"At that time, I thought, what a cute girl."

"Because I heard the barking of the dog, I guessed that she was afraid to walk over because she was afraid of the barking of the big dog in front."

"That family is the Noi family that is famous for raising large dogs in the neighborhood."

"So there's nothing I can do. I let her hide behind me. I faced the gate and walked sideways to the other side. That's how I walked through."

"Because there was a gate blocking her, she was still so scared, so I asked her why."

"She told me that it was because she was bitten by her own dog when she was a child, so she has been a little afraid of animals since then."

"Especially the kind that looks particularly fierce."

"Because of that experience, I have a psychological shadow."

"After I know the reason, I just say it's too pitiful."

"After that I took her to the home of a friend of mine named Die Ye."

"Because Die Ye raised a golden mouse."

"She was still very scared at first, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it."

"After two months like this, she fell in love with animals again."

"Even if it is the door of Noi's house that has a big dog, she can walk past it with a smile."

Having said that, Dr. Ali showed a smile.

Apparently, even after 40 years, he is still happy that the girl has changed.
