Chapter 139 Touching Your Life Path
After changing to a new perspective, or putting on a certain filter, Kudo Shinichi's school life (although it was only kindergarten) became more and more confusing.
He watched a lot of movies, including those starring his mother, trying to learn more about the word "like".
In the end, it was discovered that what he was experiencing seemed to be a textbook kindergarten love comedy.
Little kids, cute little kids, the more they like someone, the more they want to bully that person, and they always try to control their bad temper - but in Kudo Shinichi's opinion, isn't this unreasonable?
After he and Suzuki Sonoko had a fight with each other using teaching tools, he belatedly realized: Could it be that he... is being pursued?
It's very confusing.
Suzuki Sonoko is such an annoying person.
This kind of irritability that is hard to describe, not only did not disappear, but kept increasing as the three of them went to the same elementary school and she continued to diss me.
In fact, Kudo Shinichi sometimes feels that something is wrong:
Because as long as he doesn't talk to Xiaolan, Suzuki Sonoko won't explode even if he rents a partner with another girl to participate in the event.
The focus seems to be on Mao Lilan rather than him.
But the next day, Suzuki Sonoko gave him his birthday present, which was filled with various photos of Conan Doyle's manuscripts, materials, appraisal books, and a bunch of very interesting relic gift packages.
But the items were only photos, and the photos of the manuscripts were so blurry that not even a single word could be seen. Suzuki Sonoko stood in front of the photo album with a smug look on her face, as if to say, "Beg me" and "I'll show you if you beg me."
very good.
Kudo Shinichi tried hard to ignore the endless feeling of frustration in his heart, and thought expressionlessly: She just likes me.
Then he continued to feel annoyed by being liked by her.
She was even more annoyed because of these intangible manuscript objects.
Later, there was another time when the two of them met in the audience of the children's karate group, and their main purpose was to cheer for the participating Mao Li Ran.
As usual, Suzuki Sonoko wanted to yell at him when she saw him, but as the game was about to begin, she wanted to yell at him, but because Xiaolan was about to do so, she had to hold back after opening her mouth several times. After holding back, she probably felt a little scared, so she had to say some harsh words.
Yuanzi pursed her lips and said, "Xiaolan is going to win the championship today. I won't quarrel with you and ruin the atmosphere of the competition!"
"Go find a place to sit down!"
The tone was long-lost, commanding.
At that moment, Kudo Shinichi felt the awkwardness again, thinking that she was blushing out of tsundereness, and as if the focus was on Ran Mouri's championship rather than him.
So he once again fell into a confusion that he himself was not quite clear about.
Within two weeks, he discovered that the documentary about Conan Doyle, which the TV station had previously released a trailer for, seemed to have been discontinued, the newly filmed Sherlock Holmes movie was not introduced into the country, and even the publication of the reprinted version of the novel had inexplicably disappeared without a trace.
He made some inquiries through Kudo Yusaku's connection and found out that it was all Suzuki's doing.
The child detective, not even ten yet, felt a long-overdue sense of exhaustion. On the way to school the next day, he asked, "Have you been planning...revenge on me lately?"
On the other side, under the education of her uncle, Suzuki Sonoko felt that she had come up with many strange tricks. She suppressed the complacency in her heart, and her eyes were full of gloating as if she was looking forward to seeing him angry.
But no.
After all, he has practiced for several years. Even if Kudo Shinichi is upset again, he will not let Suzuki Sonoko see it!
So after just three seconds, he saw visible disappointment on Miss Suzuki's face. Although she tried hard to hide it, Kudo Shinichi not only saw the disappointment, but he even accurately sensed a hint of grievance in her eyes.
Not only did I fail to bully him, but I also felt wronged!
Kudo Shinichi thought it was great, she was still trying to get my attention.
So he continued to feel at ease and thought that Suzuki Sonoko was annoying.
Later, Suzuki Sonoko finally had her first crush who made her want to take some action, a little boy in the fourth grade of elementary school who was said to be very good at playing the flute.
Not only did she stare at him every day, she also dragged Xiaolan to watch with her, because the two families had agreed to go home together after school, so Kudo Shinichi had to watch as well.
During this process, Suzuki Sonoko would never take the time to look at him. She was very blatant in her infatuation with him. When she was happy, she would even sing a few lines along with the other person while he was playing the flute.
Her musical accomplishment comes from the influence of masters. She cannot be said to be particularly proficient, but she never sings out of tune.
A little girl is always cute and pleasant when she speaks with a smile, as long as she doesn't make a particularly high-pitched and sharp voice because of fear. Even if the tune is not familiar to people, it still has the magic to make people smile.
So the little boy playing the flute would occasionally smile shyly in their direction.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly became more excited. She kicked her feet and jumped directly onto the railing and stood there.
Then continue waving.
Kudo Shinichi was bumped into and had to take a step back from the crowd. From a distance he could only see a small hand waving around.
He thought to himself, is this... is he waiting for me to get jealous?
——Especially since he was actually a little unhappy!
So at the school sports meeting the next month, he successfully used a football to bully the boy's entire class, and even made up a riddle on the spot, successfully mocking them that they should continue to participate in music activities instead of playing football.
That was probably one of the rare opportunities for Kudo Shinichi to show off his childish side, and as expected, he was enthusiastically pursued by the even more childish elementary school boys.
Among them was the flute player.
——The little boy actually didn’t like music, but because of his passion for sports, his mother forced him into the music industry.
It can be said to be very miserable.
His behavior made Kudo Shinichi feel that no matter how hard he tried to do something, it felt like hitting cotton with his fist. However, after a few days, Suzuki Sonoko instantly lost interest in the boy after discovering that the boy actually loved eating peanut butter.
Very heartless.
But from Kudo Shinichi's perspective, when he hadn't yet realized how cold-hearted Suzuki Sonoko was, the timing of this fading of enthusiasm gave him a feeling that "because he succeeded in becoming jealous, her goal was achieved and she didn't have to continue acting and pretending to like someone else"?
The timing of this interruption was quite abrupt, as if she wasn't afraid of being noticed by him at all.
At that time, Kudo Shinichi felt that she was more annoying than in the past few years combined - pursuing someone in such a superficial way was easy to see through, didn't she really feel stupid?
What’s more important is: even though he knew she might be acting on purpose, he really got fooled so many times since then!
Every time she claimed that she liked someone and dragged him through a lot, and then when he went to see her tiredly with an expression that said "You should be satisfied now, right?", she would get angry again.
What are you all angry about?
Are there so many things worth getting angry about in Suzuki Sonoko's world?
He looks like a chubby kid, but where did he get such a bad temper?
One night in the first summer of his puberty, Kudo Shinichi suddenly had an idea and thought: Could it be that Suzuki Sonoko is actually expecting him to be stimulated and then confess directly?
Thinking about it this way...
The boy, who could almost be called a teenager, snorted at the ceiling, turned over and covered his head with the pillow.
Just do it this way, he sighed tiredly, I have lost my patience, let’s just break up and end our friendship!
=====
Kudo Shinichi was "pursued" like this until he graduated from elementary school. Suzuki Sonoko still persevered and tried to shake him in this childish way. After three to five years, she never mustered up the courage to confess her love to him, so after entering puberty, he fell into a vortex of doubt again, often wondering if he had misunderstood.
But every time, yes, every time when he stood at the door of the truth and seemed to be about to discover something, he would be blinded by her misleading behavior.
——Thinking about it now, it wasn't her misleading behavior that blinded his eyes, but at that time, his own will tended to be blinded, and he intentionally or unintentionally ignored some superficial details and clues.
Later, Kudo Shinichi thought it through.
Suzuki Sonoko doesn't necessarily want to tirelessly shake herself up, or stimulate herself to confess:
According to Suzuki Sonoko's train of thought, she might be stupid, so stupid that she couldn't tell that her actions were actually because she liked him. She was just following her instincts and subconsciously wanted to attract his attention and repeatedly confirm that his mind was still on her.
At that point, between his disdain for Suzuki Sonoko's stupidity and his annoyance for her, he also subtly developed a strange feeling of "Is she actually so cute?"
It puts people in a dilemma.
After that, after struggling for two years on the question of "whether this person likes me", Kudo Shinichi's inference was overturned by reality.
The Suzuki family is looking for a son-in-law, so Suzuki Sonoko goes on a blind date without stopping.
This matter also came up as a topic at the Mori family's dinner table. After getting drunk, Maori Kogoro hugged the table and muttered to himself, saying that when Sonoko was a child, she vowed to marry Xiaolan. Look, it's time to really consider getting married...
It was as if a bolt of lightning suddenly struck his mind. Kudo Shinichi was holding a drunk and crazy middle-aged man, and suddenly he had an epiphany amid the hiccups.
Suzuki Sonoko, she is a lesbian!
Specifically for the human species, all the emotions that arise have their origins. Even though the old saying goes that a man chasing a woman is as easy as a mountain and a woman chasing a man is as easy as a gauze, the word "chase" is involved here anyway.
And the purest ten years of his life were occupied by "chasing" and the person Suzuki Sonoko who was connected to this "chasing". However, ten years later, he said that it was a misunderstanding.
If life is a road ahead, Kudo Shinichi feels that Suzuki Sonoko is simply a deliberate scammer.
But it has come to this point, almost ten years. In terms of their lives, this matter has been existing for more than three quarters of the time. So now, he can only go down this path to the end.
Otherwise, what if they really broke up?
The long memories don’t actually make people feel heavy. Kudo Shinichi is right about at least one thing: if you look at their childhood years together, it’s definitely a comedy.
Hattori Heiji's waving hands in front of him successfully drew Edogawa Conan's attention back.
The dark-skinned Kansai detective casually raised his chin towards the table next to him and said, "Looks like there's going to be another quarrel over there. Why don't you go and save the damsel in distress?"
Conan said shut up!
The next second, the entire building suddenly shook, and the sound of collapse and shattering coming from the distance was deafening. The loud explosion brought with it a violent shock wave that shattered the glass walls between the floors.
Conan subconsciously kicked the chair away and shouted loudly: "Sonoko!"
The author has something to say: The blue tulip stalk is in Chapter 2. If you forgot, you can go and read the garden perspective.
There should be more in the evening.
