Chapter 821 Vermouth: Why don't you let Angel go? Please give me a monthly ticket ( ` )
Thinking of this, Conan looked at the pile of fancy children's snacks in front of him, and then looked at the spicy edamame, sashimi, fried tofu... and other side dishes in front of Jiang Xia that seemed more suitable for adults.
Conan: "..." It's not hard to understand. If I were to go out to eat with a pretty girl, even if I couldn't drink, I would never choose those cute, childish snacks. I would definitely take something serious. This is a matter of face.
It is quite dark on the dining table side, so it is hard to notice what you are eating, but it is relatively bright on the food pick-up side.
Conan thought that Jiang Xia probably didn't want to go to the children's area to get his food, so he just came back and ate his snacks... So, being a child does have this convenience.
…
It was already dark, and the lighting in the rooftop restaurant was comparable to that of a bar.
In the dim light, Jiang Xia didn't seem to notice the fake child's hesitant gaze.
Under Conan's gaze, he ate the remaining half of the potato cake in his hand, then looked at the stage, but his hand skillfully reached for Conan's plate...
I touched nothing.
The hash browns were already eaten.
Jiang Xia was startled and turned back to look at the plate, and happened to meet Conan's eyes.
One second, two seconds...
Jiang Xia silently withdrew his hand, took the napkin and wiped his fingers elegantly, then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Next to him, Conan sighed, picked up his plate resignedly, and walked towards the area where children's meals were placed, deciding to take more this time.
Jiang Xia's parents seemed to be very busy all the time, and his nanny was a bit strict. Not only would she not make snacks for Jiang Xia when he was a child, but she would force him to eat vegetables... As a calm high school student without a childhood, it was normal for Jiang Xia to try children's snacks whenever he wanted.
Thinking of this, Conan simply changed to a larger plate and started to serve snacks for three people.
-By the way, get some for Xiaolan, in case she wants to eat but is too embarrassed to take it. After all, if you look closely, all the people who come to this area to get snacks are children who are about the same height as Conan.
…
Vermouth seemed to be concentrating on enjoying the performance on stage.
But her attention has always been on the three high school students next to her.
Just now, when Conan was staring at the plate in confusion.
Behind him, the drummer of the previous band, Yusuke Nakamura, came up the stairs to the rooftop and stood in the shadow of the corner, looking towards their table several times as if hesitating.
Vermouth remembered that this person was the guy who was looked at admiringly by Uzo several times when the band was performing just now.
She looked at her watch and found that it had been nearly twenty minutes since Nakamura Yusuke's band finished their performance. Logically, they should have left. But now...
Vermouth leaned back in her chair calmly, observing the suspicious person out of the corner of her eye.
When Conan was carrying the tray to get the food, perhaps because a seat was vacant, it silently gave people a hint that "you can join here".
Yusuke Nakamura, who had been hesitating before, finally seemed to have made up his mind and walked over with a guitar in his arms.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang Xia?" Nakamura Yusuke looked at Jiang Xia and spoke.
Jiang Xia put down what he was holding and nodded at him.
Nakamura Yusuke smiled as if he was relaxed: "Sure enough, I thought it was you just now, but the light was too dim and I couldn't recognize you - do you still remember me? We chatted for a few minutes on Nichimi TV last month."
Jiang Xia nodded friendly: "Of course."
Nakamura Yusuke continued to laugh, rubbing the back of his head as if embarrassed:
"I actually really like reading your crime reports. I wanted to ask you for an autograph the other day, but it was a work setting and I didn't think it was appropriate. When I was struggling over whether to ask, you had already left. So... that..."
He turned the guitar over, with the writing-friendly back facing Jiang Xia, and handed it to him, asking expectantly, "If possible, could you please sign your name here?"
Beside her, Vermouth held her chin, silently observing this seemingly normal scene: “…” Someone actually wanted Uzo’s autograph?
Even if we don't consider "Uzo's" identity, it would be unlucky to carry the detective's signature on you... Of course, she didn't mean to say that Uzo and cool guy were unlucky, she just subconsciously wanted to analyze the thoughts of ordinary citizens, and then felt that these guys who asked the detective for his autograph were somewhat brave.
However, if you think about it carefully, Nakamura Yusuke asked Usa for an autograph, which might not be because he really admired him. He might just want to achieve a certain purpose...
Thinking of this, Vermouth raised her hand and twirled her chin.
Although just now, in order to provoke Uzo to reveal the script about Maori Kogoro, she deliberately said something like "these plays will become mediocre after watching them too many times." But now there are really "actors" walking in front of them... Maybe because she hasn't watched a few live performances yet, at this moment, Vermouth actually felt a little curious.
Just as she was curious, she suddenly saw something beside her. Mao Lilan searched her body for a long time, and finally found a palm-sized notebook and took it in her hand.
Then Ran Mouri looked at the notebook, then at Yusuke Nakamura, and seemed to have something to say but stopped herself.
——She actually wanted to take advantage of the moment when Jiang Xia was signing for Nakamura Yusuke to ask for an autograph from Nakamura Yusuke herself.
But when she came out tonight, Mao Lilan didn't expect that she would win the lottery ticket for this rooftop restaurant, and she didn't know that she would ask someone for an autograph.
So now, she didn't have an autograph book with her.
But the small palm-sized notebook in her hand, which contained a lot of miscellaneous notes, was too casual, so she was too embarrassed to speak.
Yusuke Nakamura was keenly aware of the movement here, glanced at Ran Mouri, and vaguely understood.
He smiled and said, "Do you know me?"
"Of course! I like your songs very much." Mao Lilan is never picky when it comes to chasing stars, and Nakamura Yusuke is indeed a good singer.
More importantly, if she said something like "Haha, I've only heard of you, but I'm not too familiar with you" at this time, it would be too heartbreaking. Mao Lilan would never do such a thing. She has to be a die-hard fan no matter how hard she tries.
Yusuke Nakamura was very happy to meet his fans by chance.
He took the guitar signed by Jiang Xia and seemed to be in a better mood. He glanced at the small notebook in Mao Lilan's hand and took the initiative to suggest:
"I have a few band posters in my bag. If you don't mind, come with me and get one. I'll sign it - it will be more memorable this way."
"OK."
Mao Lilan didn't think too much and followed him happily.
Vermouth, who watched the whole thing, said: "..."
Just now, when Uzo returned the guitar, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the guitar tilted at an angle.
Vermouth raised her eyes and glanced through the round sound hole. She saw that deep in the cavity of the guitar, there seemed to be something strange fixed there.
