The rainstorm was really bad. The rain kept hitting their faces. Both of them were like chickens in soup. It was not until they arrived at the door of Kudo's house that Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, held Kudo's hand tightly and started to open the door.

The black-haired boy looked at the brightly lit house and took hesitant steps.

Today is his birthday, but no one here will celebrate his birthday for him, right?

Plus...he basically has no memory of celebrating his birthday.

When thinking of this, Kudo couldn't help but slow down his pace even more, and his movements became hesitant.

Humans are always highly wary and fearful of unknown things.

In addition, he was not sure what impact this would have on him. This day was not just his birthday, but also the birthday of another person who was more favored and recognized than the other, "Kudo Shinichi".

Kudo didn't think they would celebrate his birthday, not because he didn't have any confidence in himself, but because their previous actions made him see no possibility at all.

It is better not to have hope in the first place than to have hope and then have it crushed mercilessly.

Mao Lilan felt that the boy's pace had slowed down, so she turned around and looked at him, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Shinichi? Are you feeling unwell?"

The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with pure worry, which made them look even more transparent, like high-quality gems.

Like a moth attracted to a flame, the black-haired boy shook his head subconsciously for this rare and tiny worry, and even pursed his lips and gave a faint smile to Mao Li Ran.

Mao Lilan reached out and touched his forehead, then rubbed his wet black hair, pulled him under the umbrella and said, "You're soaked... Go in and take a hot bath, you'll feel much better."

As he said this, he led people into the house.

Kudo followed the people without any resistance, as if the suicide attempt that happened this morning had never happened. He walked in that direction without any resistance, as the girl led him.

——

With the limited strength in his hands, Kudo and Mao Lilan entered the living room together.

Outside the window, it was gloomy with the sound of raindrops hitting the glass, while the lights inside the house were filled with a warm atmosphere, as if clearly dividing the two worlds.

but.

The boy looked at the group of people sitting in the room with a little confusion, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

This matter was completely beyond any direction of development he could have imagined. Even if he had fully developed his brain, he still felt that his brain was not enough.

Who could tell him why there were suddenly more than a dozen people in the house when there was only one person in it when he left in the morning?

His eyes swept across a series of unfamiliar faces, finally stopping on the faces of a couple.

It feels... familiar.

Mao Lilan was a little confused as to why Kudo's house was so lively today, but she didn't think too much about it. The pure angel first pushed Kudo to the door of the shower room, and after urging him to take a shower quickly, she returned to the living room.

"Uncle, aunt, dad, mom..." After greeting everyone one by one, the angel, who thought that no one knew about Kudo's existence, told them about his experience today.

After she finished speaking, she frowned and glanced at the bathroom, her tone filled with worry, "I don't know what he's been through to do this..."

Yukiko Kudo followed Ran Mouri's gaze and looked over there with a serious expression.

This child... doesn't seem to know her and Yusaku.

The living room was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was alive. Everyone gathered here after knowing everything that had happened since the young man came here. When they heard the news, they all fell into deep thought.
