Chapter 9 2 year later

Twelve years later

"Yuya, are you up yet?" In front of Kamiya's house, a girl with horn-like hair pressed the doorbell and shouted inside.

"Damn it, Lan, I told you this guy wouldn't get up so early, why did you have to come? I want to sleep a little longer!" Shinichi, who was standing against the wall, complained while yawning.

"Really? It's already 10 o'clock. Even a pig should get up!" Ran Mouri looked at Shinichi with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes, Yuya is worse than a pig." Shinichi yawned again.

"Really!" Mao Lilan glared at Shinichi and continued to ring the doorbell.

"Here it comes, stop pressing it, my head is going to explode." Yuya ran over to open the door with messy hair and without even changing into his pajamas.

"You're still sleeping!" Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips and looked at Yuya angrily, "Didn't we agree to go shopping today? Sonoko is already waiting for us there."

"Oh, didn't I sleep too late last night?" Yuya yawned like Shinichi and opened the door, "Come in and sit for a while, I'll wash up and change clothes."

···

Twenty minutes later, Yuya finally finished squatting on the toilet, brushing his teeth, washing his face, and changing clothes, and walked towards Beika Street with Mao Lilan and Shinichi.

"It's over. Sonoko has been waiting for us for almost an hour." Mao Lilan looked at the time and complained, "It's all Yuya's fault for getting up so late."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Yuya raised his hands to admit his fault, "But don't worry about Sonoko, that guy must be busy looking at handsome guys now, maybe he forgot about us."

"How is that possible? Sonoko isn't...that kind of person...right?"

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who was getting close to a handsome guy selling ice cream in front of a store not far away, Mouri Ran's eyes suddenly became narrow and her tone became weak.

"You see." Youya rolled his eyes.

Having grown up together, having a friendship of more than ten years and with some faded memories from his previous life, Youya knows Sonoko too well.

Before she met Kyogoku Makoto, that girl was a complete nympho. Whenever she saw a handsome guy, she would go up to him and try to get close to him. She didn't act like the daughter of a conglomerate at all.

However, Suzuki Sonoko was just a superficial fangirl, just like most girls like to look at handsome guys. Youya thought this was a very normal phenomenon because this guy has never had a serious relationship.

I don’t know if it’s because she didn’t meet her true love, Kyogoku Makoto, but every handsome guy Suzuki Sonoko met either had a girlfriend or had bad intentions towards her identity as the daughter of a conglomerate.

Let's not talk about the former. As a young lady, Suzuki Sonoko would never do such a thing as a mistress. As for the latter... With Shinichi and Yuu there, those with bad intentions were quickly exposed and had no chance at all.

But speaking of it... Yuya touched his chin and felt a little confused. He and Shinichi were both handsome guys, so why wasn't Sonoko interested in them?

Is it because they are too familiar with each other to make a move? Is it because they are too close that there is no love between men and women? It is said that many childhood sweethearts have this situation.

Ah, the two in front of him are not among them. Yuya glanced at Shinichi and Mao Lilan, which attracted their puzzled looks.

But Yuya didn't care, Suzuki Sonoko was not his type anyway.

"Sonoko!" Mao Lilan shouted from afar.

Her best friend’s behavior was so embarrassing that she was too embarrassed to go up and call for help, so she could only shout from a distance.

Suzuki Sonoko heard the familiar voice, turned around and saw her three friends, and ran over happily.

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, listen to me, the guy selling ice cream just now was so handsome!" Suzuki Sonoko looked excited.

"Yes, yes, I saw it all." Mao Lilan endured the strange looks from passers-by and perfunctorily responded to her best friend.

"By the way, didn't you say there was a newly opened dessert shop? Take us there quickly!" Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko couldn't stop talking, Mao Li Ran quickly changed the subject.

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized the purpose of coming out today, and quickly pulled Mao Lilan towards the building opposite: "Yes, yes, let's go over there quickly, you two follow!"

Yuya and Shinichi looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and followed.

As they walked, Shinichi moved closer to Yuya and whispered, "Did you find out?"

"Hmm? You noticed that too?"

"Well, that ice cream seller is not an ordinary person." Shinichi said.

There was an incident of Sonoko being kidnapped before, and it was caused by a suitor. This incident almost scared the three of them to death. From then on, Shinichi and You became more cautious, and they would subconsciously take a few more glances at anyone who got close to Suzuki Sonoko.

Basically, whether this person has any major problems can be determined from preliminary observation.

It is also thanks to these two people that Suzuki Sonoko has never met a heartless man.

Of course, it was also their fault that they didn't have a romantic relationship.

Not to mention those who have a purpose, even those who come here simply to pursue her cannot withstand the scrutiny of these two gate gods. They feel like their underwear will be seen through to the very color of their underwear. Who can stand this!

"Indeed, most men would take a second look at a girl approaching them, and even if they are not interested, they would at least be perfunctory. But that guy didn't even look at Sonoko the whole time, but he didn't look like he was working seriously, which was very strange." Yuya said.

"Your perspective is always... well, very novel." Shinichi complained helplessly, "Completely different from mine."

"I look at things from the perspective of a normal man, unless he is this." Youya made a special gesture, causing his companions to roll their eyes, "So what did you find?"

"I found that although the man's posture was casual, he was obviously professionally trained. Calluses were vaguely visible on his hands, which should be the marks left by long-term use of guns." Shinichi shared his findings.

"Your eyesight is still as good as ever," Yuya complained.

"You weren't observing carefully enough. I noticed it when he handed me the ice cream." Shinichi retorted.

"Yes, yes, you're right." You was too lazy to argue.

"but···"

"but···"

The two looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "He has been looking in one direction. To be exact, he is monitoring someone."

Hearing the same answer from the other party, Yuya and Shinichi smiled in tacit understanding, and they both turned around at the same time and looked in the direction the man was looking.

Just because of the angle, they didn't notice anything.

"Let's talk about it later." Youya shrugged.

"But..." Shinichi intuitively felt that he smelled the scent of a case, and his heart was already itching.

"You can go, but why don't you first consider which is harder, your head or the telephone pole?" Yuya hooked Shinichi's shoulder and nodded towards the front.

Shinichi looked and found that Ran Mouri was looking at him dangerously and secretly waving her fist.

Thinking of the scene where Ran Mouri cracked the electric pole with one punch, Shinichi regained his senses, shrank his head and followed obediently.

···

After the few people left, a girl with short brown hair passed by.

She carried a Prada bag on her shoulder and walked quickly into the coffee shop opposite the ice cream shop.

As soon as the girl entered the store, she looked around anxiously, and finally saw the figure of the person she missed in a corner.

She walked over happily and gave that person a gentle smile: "Sister!"
