Ever since she was shocked by her son's words, Hoshino Chizuru made up her mind to quit smoking. She didn't want to see her children smoking like her.
I really thought she liked smoking. It was not because she was under great pressure, so she chose to smoke to refresh herself and relieve stress. But now she has to quit smoking. After all, she made a bad start. If she doesn't correct it, she will be unqualified as a mother.
However, once you become addicted to cigarettes, it is really difficult to quit. Obviously you have made up your mind, but when you are working, you will unconsciously pick up a cigarette. Even if you throw the cigarette away, someone else will hand it to you. , you will still accept it habitually.
Hoshino Chizuru tried e-cigarettes, but they didn’t work well until a birthday gift came along. Hoshino Sora used his and his sister's pocket money to ask Misaki Misakiji to make a cigarette model and a filter out of jade.
After receiving this meaningful birthday gift, to be honest, Hoshino Chizuru wanted to cry. On that day, she solemnly promised her two children that she would quit smoking!
Then, she did it. When she held this fake cigarette, which was made and consecrated by a contemporary art master, in her mouth, she actually felt like she was smoking a real cigarette. In this way, she gradually got rid of the problem of smoking addiction and finally quit smoking.
but……
The sequelae have also come. It seems that due to holding it in her mouth for a long time, she basically can't let go of the jade model cigarette. Once the cigarette is more than two meters away from her, she feels uncomfortable all over and can't concentrate. And as long as you hold it in your mouth, it will refresh and refresh your mind, and your concentration will increase linearly.
Fortunately, model cigarettes do not harm the body and will not cause harm to others. Many people even think that Hoshino Chizuru looks cool and has a particularly heroic appearance while holding model cigarettes in her mouth.
The Hoshino siblings don't have any objections to this, as long as their mother doesn't smoke. As for holding model cigarettes... well, the protagonists in martial arts dramas often hold dogtail grass in their mouths, which looks quite cool and comfortable.
…
Since his mother stopped smoking, Hoshino Sora has returned to his usual carelessness, continuing to exercise, continue to look for erasers and pencils with a new group of classmates, and do some lower-end things than looking for cats and dogs.
Think about it, how big of a deal can a first-year student do? Speaking of which, the biggest commission they had ever received was to help a male classmate from Class C next door prove that he was not the one who scratched the car.
Elementary school is like this, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's basically all trivial things. However, at some point, Hoshino Sora discovered that there was an inexplicable distance between Shinichi and Xiaolan, and they became alienated.
What’s even more incredible is that Shinichi’s name for Xiaolan has changed.
When Sora Hoshino heard Shinichi call Ran 'Moori-kun' for the first time, he was completely confused and had goosebumps.
Is this still the Shinichi he knew?
Hoshino Sora quietly asked Sonoko if Xiaolan and Shinichi had quarreled, but the answer he got was 'no'. The two men did not quarrel, at least Yuanzi had never seen them. Of course, Hoshino Sora hadn't seen it either. He thought Xiaolan had a fight with Shinichi while he was exercising.
Since it wasn't a quarrel, why did it suddenly become so strange?
Hoshino Sora was confused. He had to figure this out, otherwise he would die of embarrassment.
He is very familiar with these two people and knows each other well. They have both been guests in their respective homes. It can be said that they are very good friends. But now they act as if they don't know each other. They talk politely and are fake as hell. , and he, the person caught in the middle, felt very uncomfortable.
If you're like this, Xinyi, how can I go to Xiaolan's house to have a meal?
In the end, Hoshino Sora couldn't stand the embarrassment, so he pulled Shinichi to a corner and asked directly: "Shinichi, are you being parasitized by aliens?"
"?" Kudo Shinichi's head was full of questions, "Idiot, what are you talking about? I am Kudo Shinichi! Have you read too many comics recently?"
"Since you are not parasitized by aliens, why did you suddenly change your name to Xiaolan? And Maori-san, it gave me goosebumps." Hoshino Sora said unhappily as he shook the non-existent goosebumps.
"Hey, you don't know?" Kudo Shinichi was very surprised.
"What should I know?" Hoshino Sora looked confused. "Don't play riddles with me. What's going on?"
"Hey, that guy Xiaolan keeps calling my name in public. It's very embarrassing. Everyone is laughing at me, you know." Kudo Shinichi said.
However, after hearing this, Hoshino Sora felt a thunderous feeling, "You know? Where can I find out? Who is laughing at you? Tell me, I will go find him. Besides, what's wrong with calling me by name? I won't call you." Name, should I call you Kudo Holmes Shinichi?"
"What? You've been exercising so you didn't see it. In short, only very close people can call me by name. Don't you see that other students call me Kudo-kun?" Kudo Shinichi explained.
"...Then I will call you Kudo-san from now on?" Hoshino Sora frowned and looked at him strangely.
"No, no, no." Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "We are partners, comrades-in-arms, brothers, and the closest partners. Why are we called so different?"
"Then why are you and Xiaolan so incompatible? I knew you earlier than I did." Hoshino Sora said.
"Oh, that's different. She's a girl, do you understand? She...she, a girl, calls me so affectionately in front of so many people. I...I will be embarrassed." Kudo Shinichi His face gradually turned red, "After all, we are no longer in a nursery. If we call you that, we will be laughed at."
Hoshino Sora curled his lips and said with a look of disdain: "I just call it that, and no one comes to laugh at me. Really, find someone to laugh at me, go find it."
Kudo Shinichi: "..."
Who dares to laugh at you in this class, or even in this school! With your physique and your crazy energy to exercise, everyone is afraid that you will tear them alive!
The conversation with Shinichi made Hoshino understand why there was a rift between this guy and Xiaolan, but even if he understood it, it was useless because he didn't know how to help the two men restore their original relationship.
If you want to ask him to destroy the relationship, it's very simple. Just beat the person up, but if it is to restore the relationship, and to help two good friends restore the relationship...
Difficult, too difficult! He can't be allowed to beat up everyone who makes fun of Shinichi. Moreover, he doesn't know whether Shinichi and Xiaolan can recover as before. Anyway, he himself will probably be finished.
"Hey, this guy Shinichi... why did he suddenly become so pretentious?" Hoshino Sora sighed.
After this incident, another two days passed.
"Hey, have you heard? There's one in the school library?!" Yuanzi took Xiaolan's hand and mysteriously shared with her the secret she had just learned.
As soon as Xiaolan heard about this, she was frightened on the spot. You know what she is most afraid of? It's strange.
Yuanzi was satisfied with her reaction, but she was not satisfied, so she told more people about the incident vividly, and then spread it to ten, and then to hundreds, and finally it spread throughout the campus. Finally, this matter reached the ears of Kudo Shinichi.
