"Beatings are alright."
After hearing Ai's words, Kōyū turned his head and gave her a meaningful look.
Speaking of being brutally beaten, Ai Haibara is probably one of those who have been brutally beaten by life.
The two sisters were abandoned by their parents shortly after they were born, and what followed was a dark and lonely childhood.
I'm studying and living alone in the United States, without friends or family.
Even as I grew up, things didn't get better; I was constantly surrounded by cold, impersonal machines and chemical reagents.
Ai frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Kōyū reached out and ruffled Ai's hair, then gently put his arm around her, buried his head in her hair, and said, "You've suffered so much these past years."
These few simple words caused Ai's expression to change slightly. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she suppressed the pounding in her heart, pressing her lips tightly together.
Although she didn't know why Guangyou would suddenly say that, those words truly struck the softest part of her heart.
She sniffed softly, placed her hand on Guangyou's waist, and murmured, "Thank you."
A moment later, the two released each other, smiled at each other, and returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Excuse me, the Miss Yucheng you mentioned wouldn't happen to be?"
Ran's words caught Kōyū's attention. As soon as he turned his head, he noticed that even Uncle Mori looked excited.
"Could that Miss Yu Cheng be the same Miss Yu Cheng Liu Li, who is known as the number one singer of healing songs?"
The director stared blankly at Ran and Uncle Mori, who had transformed into devoted fans, and nodded: "Yes."
Uncle Mori's eyes widened, his expression excited: "So, does that mean we'll be able to meet her in person?"
"Huh?" The director was stunned. He glanced at Uncle Mori's expression, which seemed to be serious, and said, "Of course you can. The person who asked you to replace her in giving the opening remarks is Ms. Amashiro."
Ran and Uncle Mori were stunned. Then Uncle Mori was overjoyed and muttered to himself, "My charm is truly amazing. Even a big star like him is my fan."
In his opinion, there were many people who could come, so why did Yu Cheng Liuli have to choose him?
They're obviously his fans!
Even liking it is not necessarily true.
hey-hey...
Uncle Mori couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing Conan, who was standing next to him, to quietly move a little distance away.
I don't know if I'm the first person to create therapeutic songs.
Kazami Yoshiteru exhaled a puff of smoke, his face full of disdain. "Anyway, I find her songs disgusting. That kind of old lady should have been out of fashion long ago."
Kazami Yoshiteru, who was the man smoking earlier, said this, and even the kind-hearted Conan thought the man was too naive.
Why say it if you don't like it?
A forced sense of presence?
Conan frowned and complained, "This kind of person probably wouldn't even last half an episode in a TV series. He's so annoying."
"I didn't force you to listen. If you don't like it, why are you listening? Are you out of your mind?"
A sarcastic remark came from afar; the voice was pleasant, but the words were also full of hostility.
Upon hearing the voice, the director turned around and said to the person who had arrived, "Miss Yucheng, you've finally come."
Yu Cheng Liuli nodded to the director, then continued to say to Kazami Yoshiki in a teasing tone, "You're neither an idol nor a man, I can't possibly be your match."
Guangyou glanced at Yucheng Liuli with some surprise; this woman was just as good at roasting people as he was.
"you!"
Kazami Yoshiteru glared at Amashiro Ruri, then snorted and turned away without saying another word.
Xiaolan seemed very happy to meet her idol in person: "She's even prettier in person than on TV!"
Uncle Mori blushed slightly and walked up to Ruri Amashiro with a stiff expression. He said with a smile on his face, "Miss Amashiro, I am Kogoro Mori. Please take care of me."
Yu Cheng Liuli was taken aback by his words, then covered her mouth and chuckled twice, saying, "This isn't the first time we've met."
Seeing Uncle Mori's still bewildered expression, Ruri Amashiri helplessly pointed to a small mole below her lip and asked, "You really can't remember? Kogoro~"
Uncle Mori frowned as he stared at the mole. Gradually, the face of Ruri Amashiro merged with the face of a girl in his memory.
"You're Ruri Doigaki?" Uncle Mori blinked, seemingly incredulous. "So you're Ruri! It's been a long time!"
Xiao Lan, who was not far away, was also shocked by the news and said, "They already knew each other?"
"No way." Conan blinked, a hint of doubt in his voice. "It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
He had heard the name Yu Cheng Liuli before. Xiao Lan had also mentioned it to him before, and his mother, who used to be a big star, had also mentioned the name occasionally.
Yukiko spoke highly of Ruri Amashiro, saying that her songs were very emotional and easily resonated with people.
Kōyū turned his head to look at Ai and asked, "Have you heard her songs?"
After thinking for a moment, Ai nodded and said, "I've heard of it before, and I think it's alright."
"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up."
Uncle Mori was delighted to see an acquaintance after so long, saying, "You used to wear thick glasses, but you look so much prettier now."
Yu Cheng Liuli teased, "Yes, I'm worlds apart from how I was back then."
