Kōyū glanced around, then stood up, picked up the calendar on the table, turned a page, pointed to a date on the calendar, and said to Akemi, "I want Ai to celebrate a holiday like a normal girl."
"Girls' Day."
Akemi glanced at the date Kōyū was pointing to, and suddenly remembered something. A trace of sadness flashed across her previously smiling face. "Our parents used to prepare this for us, but..."
"But then something happened, and you never took those things out again."
Guangyou put down the calendar, pursed his lips, sat back on the sofa, reached out and patted Mingmei's back, and said apologetically, "Mingmei, I'm sorry, I reminded you of them."
"fine."
Mingmei wiped her eyes and said with a light laugh, "It's not your fault. It's their fate to suffer this calamity."
"Just like Shiho and I met you in our destiny."
Akemi turned her head and looked at Kōyū gratefully, smiling, "If it weren't for you, I would have died, and Shiho wouldn't be like a normal girl."
Kōyū smiled shyly and said, "I'm also very fortunate to have met Ai."
"So you want to give Shiho a Girls' Day celebration?"
Mingmei remembered her business and nodded. "Then how can I help you?"
"The first thing is how to arrange the Girls' Day dolls. I had absolutely no idea how to do that."
After thinking for a moment, Guangyou continued, "The second one is about dolls."
"I want to ask if the dolls that my uncle and aunt prepared before they passed away are still there."
Guangyou didn't have much hope, after all, it was more than ten years ago, but he still explained, "I think it's definitely more meaningful for my uncle and aunt to prepare something than for me to buy it myself."
Akemi nodded, but did not give Kōyū a reply immediately.
After a moment, Mingmei suddenly relaxed and said, "I remember now. I hid those things in another place back then. If nothing unexpected happens, they should still be there."
Upon hearing this, Guangyou was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Mingmei, do you remember where you hid?"
"Let me think about it carefully, after all, it happened more than ten years ago."
Akemi closed her eyes, placed her hands on her forehead, and tried to recall the memory.
"Take your time, there are still many days until the holiday."
Guangyou also knew how difficult it was to recall things from so many years ago. At that time, Mingmei was just a child, and if she couldn't remember, there was nothing he could do.
If he really can't find it, then he'll have to buy it from a store.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Time passed second by second, but Akemi was still lost in her memories, ignoring even when Kōyū told her to stop.
The two sisters are indeed from the same womb. Although they have different styles, they are both very stubborn in certain aspects.
"Guangyou, why don't you go back first? Let me think about it for a day or two."
Akemi also gave Kōyū the hint to leave, saying, "I'll call you when I think of something."
"Okay, don't force yourself if you can't think of anything."
After replying, Guangyou left Mingmei Apartment on his own.
Deep down, he still hoped that Akemi would remember that although the dolls prepared by his parents and the ones he bought were essentially the same, the meaning they represented was incomparable to those he bought.
But he wasn't sure if Mingmei could remember where Dong XZ was.
"Let it be."
Kōyū shook his head and slowly walked towards the agency.
...
By the time I got home, it was nearly dusk.
"Guangyou, you're back just in time. Quickly wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"OK."
Before Guangyou could even open the door after washing his hands, Uncle Mori's voice came through the door.
"Look at all these people, they're all praising my acting skills, Kogoro Mouri."
Uncle Mori pointed proudly at his image on the TV and said, "That episode's ratings were indeed very high. Today, someone even came to my door to invite me to shoot a commercial."
Guangyou, who had just sat down at the table, paused for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What advertisement?"
"Well..."
Uncle Mori's voice immediately sank, and he stammered for a long time without telling Guangyou what the advertisement was.
Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the advertisement. She said to Guangyou, "Someone did ask Dad to shoot an advertisement today, but the product seems to be a health supplement to prevent Alzheimer's disease."
"The other party contacted you because of that scene where you pretended to be confused, right, Uncle?"
Conan subconsciously deduced something, completely unaware of Uncle Mori's increasingly dark expression, "The other party has a good eye. If you, Uncle, were to endorse it, it would definitely boost sales."
"Thump."
The next second, Conan felt a sharp pain on his forehead; Uncle Mori's head-smashing was all too familiar to him.
Uncle Mori withdrew his hand and blew on it: "Whoosh."
"Pfft, hahaha."
It wasn't just that he was laughing at Conan, but also because Kōyū automatically imagined in his mind the scene of Uncle Mori holding "Brain Gold" and shouting the advertising slogan.
The scene was truly...
marvelous!
"Ahem, didn't you not answer?"
Uncle Mori coughed awkwardly twice, picked up his glass and took a sip of wine, "Besides, the appearance fee is so low, it's not as worthwhile as letting me stay home and watch Ms. Yoko's show."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."
Uncle Mori said expressionlessly, "None of you heard about the advertisement just now, so don't tell anyone."
