Chapter 729 The Promise Under the Ginkgo Tree
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the warm orange light hit the profile of Haiyuan Ai's face, reflecting her serious look, which made her look like a girl depicted by a medieval oil painter.
Haibara Ai finally completed her science class observation assignment. As her guardian, Nobushige naturally took the notebook and checked it.
five minutes later--
"How is it?" Haiyuan Ai's expression was very calm, with basically no mood swings.
Nobuhiro said at a loss for words: "I shouldn't have high expectations for you. Maybe you can learn from Kudo Shinichi. He has adapted well to his status as a primary school student."
He was surprised that Xiao Ai could write an observation assignment until the sunset. When he looked at the content, it was no wonder that she had almost completed a paper!
The giant panda never imagined that it would only take one afternoon for it to be carefully dissected by the seemingly harmless little girl in front of it.
"Brother Asano, you are still here!" Ayumi ran over and said sweetly to Shinshige, "Conan deduced that the place where the doctor and his first love made an appointment was under the ginkgo tree next to Didan Elementary School. , do you and Xiao Ai want to go together? That is Dr. Ali’s first love. I really want to see what she looks like! "
Nobuhara folded up Haihara Ai's homework and asked her opinion with his eyes.
Haiyuan Ai nodded lightly: "Well, we have nothing to do at night anyway."
"That's great!!!"
Seeing this, Dr. A Li had no choice but to scratch his head: "I'm so sorry, but I have to trouble you to go with me to find the agreed place."
"No, please don't think so." Nobuhiro smiled, "A promise is the most beautiful thing."
In particular, Kinoshita Fusae and Dr. Agasa had decided to meet at the same place every ten years. Dr. Agasa had not found the correct address for three decades in a row. For Kinoshita Fusae, she The three-decade wait was in vain. Even so, she is still willing to wait for the fourth decade.
This deep feeling cannot be explained in words. If we must find the reason, it might be Gosho Aoyama's preference for his childhood sweetheart. Even if the fate between Dr. Agasa and Kinoshita Fusae only lasted a few days, for a person, a few days is enough to remember them in their hearts.
There is a path full of ginkgo trees next to Didan Primary School. Over the years, the ginkgo trees here have become tall and towering, and in autumn they are all golden.
Walking on this road, with the golden tree crowns on your head and the golden fallen leaves on the ground, you will see pure gold in front of your eyes.
"What does the doctor's first love look like? I'm so curious." Ayumi looked at Dr. Agasa, "Do you still remember her appearance?"
Dr. A Li shook his head, then reluctantly corrected: "She is not my first love, we were just ordinary friends at the time."
"Is it true?" Nobuhiro walked beside Dr. Ali with a straight eye and questioned softly, "If this is really the case, why are you not married yet?"
With Dr. Ali's conditions, he could have had a better choice, get married and have children, and teach his children and grandchildren to do strange research. But he didn't.
Dr. A Li was speechless by his question.
Haibara Ai raised her head and glanced at Dr. Ali, then added lightly: "I heard that Ms. Kinoshita has been single to this day."
There is no need to say any more unnecessary words. If they were destined to be lovers, forty years would not be able to separate them.
After arriving at the location, Conan glanced around and asked strangely: "Why is there no one? I'm pretty sure my reasoning is correct."
"It's normal to have no one. After all, forty years have passed." Although Dr. Ali was smiling, there was disappointment in his eyes.
"Hey, that car!" Ayumi suddenly pointed to an expensive car in front of her and said, "I remember when I came over to feed the rabbits in the morning, it was parked here."
"She must have been sitting in the car, waiting since morning!"
"Let's go over there and tell her!"
"etc……"
The closer he got to Kinoshita Fusae, the more uneasy he felt. Dr. Ari didn't even know if he wanted to see her. If Kinoshita Fusae did go to the appointment, he would feel guilty and unable to face it, but if she didn't... Dr. Agasa didn't know what he would do, and he would probably be very, very disappointed.
"There's no one in the car."
"Will she go to dinner?"
"No, no." Haihara Ai pointed out, "Looking at the steaming coffee and fast food inside, she must have just left not long ago."
At this moment, Dr. Ali's sight fell on the tree not far away.
There was a woman leaning on a tree trunk, looking into the distance.
Almost as soon as he saw it, without confirmation, Dr. Ali recognized the girl who often lingered in his dreams. She has grown up, but she is exactly the same as in her memory.
"Doctor, what are you doing?!" Ayumi pursed her lips in disapproval.
Huihara Ai also said: "You made her wait for forty years, didn't you?"
Dr. A Li's cheeks suddenly turned red: "No, we haven't confirmed whether it is her yet. We also need to ask Asano, after all, he has seen it before...!!!"
Mitsuhiko pushed behind him and pushed Dr. Agasa forward, successfully attracting Kinoshita Fusaye's attention.
Kinoshita Fusae looked at him with a somewhat stunned expression.
Almost at the same time, Nobushige leaned back slightly, putting himself in the blind spot of Kinoshita Fusae's sight. Although Haibara Ai didn't understand why he did this, she still silently stood beside Nobu Fan.
Dr. Ari called out bravely: "That, that, Fu Sae..."
Hearing this familiar name, Kinoshita Fusaye's eyes suddenly filled with light.
But before she could say anything, her assistant Billy came out from behind the tree trunk: "Is he the person you are waiting for?"
Dr. A Li was startled by this sudden appearance of a man.
Kinoshita Fusae quickly said to him in English: "Do you mind waiting for me over there for a while?"
"Of course not, you don't have to be in a hurry." After that, Billy walked past Dr. Ali and walked in the direction of the car.
Billy was obviously surprised when he saw Nobushima, but he didn't say anything and just nodded to him.
Kinoshita Fusae and Dr. Agasa looked at each other. She quickly looked away and said sincerely: "Your grandson is very cute."
"No..." Dr. A Li tried to explain.
However, the tenderness and attachment in Kinoshita Fusae's eyes forced him to swallow all his words, leaving only one sentence: "I'm really sorry."
"There's no need to tell me you're sorry." Kinoshita Fusae raised her head slightly and looked at the ginkgo trees, and said, "I couldn't control my eyes when I passed by here. They are so beautiful."
