Chapter 373 Sunset and Cherry Blossoms Across the Fields

Qianzhu glanced down at him, knowing what he wanted to ask, so she patted his head and muttered a few words softly.

"It feels somewhat familiar, but it doesn't seem like it..."

The volume behind them was too low for Conan to hear. Seeing that Chizuru was somewhat lost in thought, Conan reluctantly grabbed his hand.

Qianzhu glanced at him, then silently let him pull her back into the room.

As evening approached, Yamamuro Momoe and the others, who had been dawdling for a long time, were finally able to set off.

"Huh? Where are Mr. Mori and Mr. Chino?" Shirai Mako asked after noticing that two people were missing, carrying a small backpack.

Conan then noticed that she was wearing a light blue beaded bracelet with cherry blossoms on her hand, which was gripping the shoulder strap.

Once you notice these small changes, you'll find yourself observing them unconsciously.

Then Conan turned his head and looked at Momoe Yamamuro's wrist.

Hers is made of milky white beads and cherry blossoms.

Is this a best friend's set? Conan wondered.

"Qianzhu seems to be feeling unwell, so just in case, Dad decided to stay at the hotel as well," Ran Mouri explained to her from the side who had overheard the question.

"I see. Let's go then." Shirai Mako took Yamamuro Momoe's hand.

"I'll drive." Hiroshi Otsubo raised his hand, took the keys from Yoshiaki Liu, and went to the parking lot.

After watching his departing figure, Liu Qingyao yawned, casually leaned against a pillar with her arms crossed, looked up at the not-so-clear sky, and said nonchalantly, "Soon we should be able to see cherry blossoms at dusk."

“Yes, I love that feeling,” Shirai Mako chimed in, then clasped her hands together in a gesture of longing and anticipation.

"The sunset and the cherry blossoms covering the fields, the light adds a hazy and gentle texture to the scenery, making it so beautiful that it is simply impeccable."

Ran Mouri was immediately filled with anticipation, her bright eyes seemingly screaming "I want to see!"

Soon, Hiroshi Otsubo drove up in his car, and after everyone got in, they set off for their destination.

Upon climbing back onto the observation deck, Liu Qingyao glanced at the group of people fiddling with their cameras and preparing to take pictures. She then moved a little further away and took out cigarettes and a lighter from her pocket.

After the cigarette was lit, a tobacco aroma rose along with a wisp of smoke.

Through the thin mist, Liu Qingyao rested her hands on the railing, gazing absently at the horizon.

Conan noticed and moved closer.

Liu Qingyao glanced at him, extinguished her cigarette, put it in her cigarette butt pouch, then squatted down, patted his head, and smiled casually, "Is there something you need, little Conan?"

"No, nothing's wrong." Conan shook his head and turned to look at the scenery through the iron bars that were taller than him.

Liu Qingyao raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up, took out another cigarette and put it in her mouth, but this time she didn't take out a lighter to light it.

Turning around and leaning against the railing, Liu Qingyao casually watched as Ran Mouri and the others snapped photos of the scenery, then took selfies, and then group photos.

"We took so many photos, we're very satisfied~" Mako Shirai and Momoko Yamamuro sat in front of the camera, flipping through the photos they had just taken. "Now let's just wait for the sunset."

They finally waited for the sunset, but Shirai Mako suddenly had a stomachache. They had no choice but to take a few more photos and then head back early.
