Zuo Ye took some instant noodles and poured them into his mouth. It took him ten seconds to resolve the battle, then he wiped his mouth, washed up and went out, preparing to take out the trash.
Time is tight, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible. Just throw out the trash and go straight to buy a ticket.
It's a pity that Zuoye, who originally thought so, ran into the duo of best friends and the duo of tomboys who were about to go upstairs after going down the stairs.
Seeing this, Zuo Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes slowly lowered and fell on the cubic transparent packaging box held in Suzuki Sonoko's arms.
The cake is dotted with bright red strawberries and has a "Happy Birthday" cream message printed on it, which is clearly visible.
"..."
Damn, it’s not over yet, right? You deliberately avoided it yesterday, but you’re here today?
Zuo Ye wanted to pretend he didn't see it, turn around and leave, but of course he was stopped.
So, the five people sat directly on the grass next to the stairs and blew out the candles.
"Originally, we wanted to come over to celebrate your birthday with you, senior, yesterday, but we didn't expect that something happened on the way, so we were delayed. We can only come over today."
Suzuki Sonoko explained eloquently why they couldn't come over to celebrate Zuo Ye's birthday yesterday.
However, Zuoye didn't want to listen to the other party's explanation at all.
...Of course I'm not angry because of this, I just inexplicably remembered the time when I asked Suzuki Sonoko for the correct answer in order to eliminate wrong answers.
There's a sense of... a strange combination of circumstances?
It seems to be similar to this matter.
By the way, Conan, the god of plague, killed someone again yesterday, and I don’t know which unlucky guy it was.
"Fortunately, the weather is not very hot now, and the cake will not go bad if it is left for a day. Come on, senior, make your wish quickly."
Zuo Ye was silent for two seconds and blew out the candle.
"Yeah! Although it's a day late, congratulations to senior for turning one year older!"
After Suzuki Sonoko called out twice, she approached Zuo Ye with curiosity on her face.
"Senior, what did you wish for? Love, wealth, or a dream?"
"Hey, Yuanzi, it won't work if I say my wish."
Mao Lilan said dissatisfied.
"Hey, it's smaller, the layout is smaller."
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand indifferently: "I didn't ask senior to tell him what wish he made, I just asked him which aspect it was about. It must be fine."
... Zuo Ye felt that it might be more likely that his wish would come true if he directly explained his wish to Miss Suzuki than by praying to God.
In other words - is this no better than the tortoise in the wishing pool?
Of course, Zuo Ye couldn't really let Suzuki Sonoko realize his wish.
Firstly, Zuo Ye is not that thick-skinned, and secondly, his appetite is too big, and it is impossible for the other party to help him realize it, but if Xu is young, he will not like it.
It's better not to have this idea at all and save yourself the trouble.
"I made a promise that a certain plague god would harm fewer people."
Zuo Ye gave the answer calmly, causing several people to ask questions in confusion.
"You're a bastard, you should stop harming talented people, right?"
Listening to the voice coming from the side that was full of resentment but still full of milk, Zuo Ye raised his eyebrows and turned his head.
Then Zuo Ye met the eyes of the little bun-faced man stuck between the iron railings of the stairs.
Yes, it was the little girl who lived next door to Zuo Ye.
It is said that since the last time they met, Zuoye was admitted to the hospital the next day, and until today, it has been a long time since he saw this little girl.
...I didn’t expect that this girl would still remember that incident after so long.
Quite vindictive.
After looking into the little girl's big, resentful eyes for a few seconds, Zuo Ye lifted up the piece of cake he had just cut.
"Do you want to eat?"
"Ah, is that okay?"
The resentment on the little girl's face disappeared instantly, and she blinked brightly, her saliva almost flowing down.
"Can."
Zuo Ye nodded in affirmation, and the little girl immediately used both hands to pull her head out from the iron railing, and ate the cake while saying thanks.
Looking at the little girl who took a mouthful of cream, the bestie duo asked in surprise: "Senior, isn't this the little girl you picked up last time?"
Both of them paused and repeated after the word "上". It was clear that Haibara Ai had not forgotten the true meaning of the last time, which also caused the two tomboys on the side to look strange.
For the two fake children, it was no secret that Zuo Ye picked up Haibara Ai and brought him home. However, they did not know about the fact that Haihara Ai had picked up a little girl and brought her home before him.
...Does this guy Zuoye have any special hobbies in this area?
Perverted lolita control? ?
Haiyuan Ai tightened his clothes and took a step back instinctively.
What then appeared in Haihara Ai's mind was the scene after being picked up by Zuo Ye and brought home.
Zeza bluffingly called him his father. I heard from Conan that when Mao Lilan lost her memory last time, Zuoye also falsely claimed that he was her biological father.
Coupled with the abnormality of Zuo Ye's head...
Could it be that Zuo Ye has some special attachment to this role?
Zuo Ye glanced at the two fake children and nodded: "Well, she lives next door to my house. We met a few times later, and we became familiar with her after two visits."
"I see……"
Under the eyes of several people, who were watching a stray cat eating, the little girl finished the whole piece of cake.
After the little girl licked the cream off her lips and thanked her again, she immediately changed her face and brought up the old matter again.
"Don't think you can bribe me with a piece of cake. I didn't say I would forgive you."
The little girl put her hands on her hips and pouted.
forgive?
Only then did the four of them remember what the little girl had said at the beginning, and they all looked at Zuo Ye in confusion.
...What did Zuo Ye do to make a little girl hold a grudge like this?
"Yeah."
In response, Zuo Ye stretched out his palm with a dull expression: "Then give me back the cake you just ate."
The little girl stared blankly: "You didn't say that I have to forgive you after eating that piece of cake!"
"Then I didn't say the cake was free."
Zuoye put his pockets in his pocket calmly.
The little girl gritted her teeth and could only take out a few coins from her pocket with a look of reluctance: "But I only have more than a hundred yuan..."
"This cake is custom-made by the most advanced cake shop using the best materials. Your piece cost me at least thousands of dollars. Do you think a hundred dollars is enough?"
Zuo Ye's words made Suzuki Sonoko blink at the side.
Is it... like this? Why don't you know? ? ?
After getting Zuo Ye's answer, the little girl's eyes began to fill with tears and her nose twitched.
Mao Lilan couldn't stand it anymore and tugged on Zuo Ye's clothes: "Senior..."
Zuoye glanced at Mao Lilan, then looked at the little girl, and asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
The little girl lowered her head and nodded pitifully: "I know..."
"What's wrong?"
Zuo Ye asked indifferently.
The little girl replied aggrievedly: "I shouldn't just eat other people's food without asking anything..."
"Well, this is a lesson for you, and it's me now. Otherwise, if I meet some other bad guy and blackmail you, selling you may not be enough."
Zuo Ye started ideological education like a parent.
"yes……"
Seeing the little girl nodding, Zuo Ye also nodded: "Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. Since you already know your mistakes, and I am not a stingy person, I will forgive you mercifully this time. "
"Really!?"
The relieved little girl had a look of surprise on her face and was so moved that she almost cried: "Thank you, Shumao!"
The four people next to them all had strange faces when they saw this.
...At the beginning, it seemed that Zuo Ye should be the one being forgiven. How could it be the other way around after just saying this? ?
I always feel like this little girl has been deceived.
And he was the kind who was deceived by Zuo Ye and became lame.
Especially the kind-hearted Mao Lilan, she can hardly stand it anymore.
If it weren't for Zuo Ye's... face issue, Mao Lilan might have grabbed the little girl and shook her - wake up quickly, your pants... Oh no, you were cheated on whether you were wet or not. Let’s go!
"Um."
Facing the gazes of the foursome, Zuo Ye turned a blind eye and took the more than one hundred yuan from the little girl's hand: "Although it is not enough, I still accepted it, No, I will give you another piece of cake, this time It's free."
The little girl who was a little disappointed when her money was taken away immediately laughed again when she saw this: "Really, is it really free?"
"Yes, eat quickly."
"Thanks!"
Seeing that the little girl's mouth was covered with cream again, Zuo Ye suddenly asked: "By the way, what were you planning to do, and you sneaked out to play again?"
"certainly not!"
The little girl denied dissatisfiedly: "I came out to buy soy sauce for my mother...ah!"
Speaking of this, the little girl suddenly became furious: "Oh no, I haven't bought the soy sauce yet. It's over, I have to go quickly. Thank you for the cake, Baibai!"
Zuo Ye watched the little girl running away with two short legs. Suzuki Sonoko next to him touched his chin and suddenly asked: "Senior, you said... the money that you just took away from the little girl , could it be the money her mother asked her to buy soy sauce?"
"...Who knows."
Zuo Ye divided the rest of the cake: "Okay, the birthday has been made up for. Is it time for you to go?"
Suzuki Sonoko curled her lips and said, "No, senior, it's too heartless for you to drive us away in such a hurry. I haven't even started eating the cake yet."
"You must be in a hurry to go on a date."
Haihara Ai held the cake in one hand and said, "I'm holding a garbage bag in my hand, although it looks like I'm going out to throw out the garbage."
"But Zuo Ye...brother, he looks like he has just washed up, which means he has just woken up. Generally, in this state, he will continue to go home after throwing away the garbage, and he will also dress in a special way when going out. It’s casual, but his clothes are neatly dressed, and it’s obvious that he doesn’t plan to go home after throwing away the garbage.”
Haihara Ai's well-founded analysis convinced the two best friends instantly.
Mao Lilan looked at Zuo Ye in astonishment and apologetically: "Is this really the case? Then...didn't we waste the senior's time?"
On the other hand, Suzuki Sonoko pouted pitifully: "Is it true, senior, did you really abandon me and Xiaolan and have a woman outside??"
...Even if you are single, you can't drag yourself into being single too, right?
Zuo Ye glanced at Haibara Ai and the fake lolita. Sure enough, he had been with Conan for a long time and had been infected with many bad habits.
You are learning reasoning and pretending to be a detective because you are afraid that your identity as a fake loli will not be exposed, right?
"I plan to travel for a few days."
After receiving Zuo Ye's answer, Mao Lilan laughed as if he was relieved: "Is that so? Senior, why don't you just go to Osaka with us? I came here today and was just planning to talk to senior about this matter. After all, traveling can also relax your mind, which is conducive to...recovery."
...Good guy, are you waiting here?
Zuoye asked nonchalantly: "Why are you going to Osaka so well?"
"It's not that guy Hattori who insists on calling us to come over."
