After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 141 Confession

Jinpei Matsuda stared at Hitomi Hoshino, who was behaving out of character. Her gentleness was extraordinary, like a spring breeze, gently brushing through his heart.

The surprise in his eyes was as if he was shocked by Hoshino Hitomi's sudden change in attitude, and as if he had caught a glimpse of her whom he once knew.

That gentle gaze was like a clear spring, creating ripples in his heart.

However, this look of surprise was fleeting like a shooting star and was instantly replaced by deep worry.

Matsuda Jinpei frowned slightly, and his deep, magnetic voice revealed a rare concern:

"You should rest for a while and stop wasting your energy talking. It won't be too late to talk to us after you have recuperated in the hospital for a while and recovered from your injuries."

When Hoshino Hitomi heard these words, a hint of warmth inadvertently flashed across her eyes, like the spring sun, warm and gentle.

[Zhen Ping is still the same as always, saying one thing and thinking another. He was being petty one second, and the next he was concerned about other people’s health.]

The corners of Hoshino Hitomi's mouth slightly raised, and that smile was like a spring breeze blowing gently across the blooming flowers, charming and attractive, and she replied softly:

"Don't worry, I'm strong. These minor injuries are just scary, they're nothing serious. Can't I still chat with you now? This proves that I'm fine."

"Besides, it's still a long way to the hospital. There's no point in us getting anxious. We might as well take this opportunity to talk about something interesting and relax."

Hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei's face instantly darkened, and he asked with dissatisfaction:

"You are so careless. And you call this a minor injury? Are you treating us like fools?"

He frowned and glared at Hoshino Hitomi, obviously feeling helpless about her indifferent attitude.

The corners of Hoshino Hitomi's mouth slightly raised, and she let out a crisp laugh. There was a faint smile flashing in her bright eyes, and she said lazily:

"You can't say that. Chatting with me won't hurt you, and neither will I."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, I see you seem to have some questions you want to ask me, right?"

After saying that, Hoshino Hitomi looked at the other person with a smile, her eyes revealing sincerity and friendliness.

Matsuda Jinpei was just about to continue his rebuttal, but he was stared at by the other party with eyes as soft as water. He couldn't help but blush slightly, like the sky dyed by the sunset, and the words that were on his lips were slow to come out.

He then turned his head away uncomfortably, as if trying to avoid the scorching gaze, while at the same time moving his body imperceptibly, as if he was escaping from an unavoidable storm.

Zhu Fu Jingguang saw that the two were chatting enthusiastically, and a strange look appeared on his calm face.

Especially when he saw the girl smiling sweetly at another man, his eyes were filled with waves, as if complicated emotions were stirring.

The ripples in his eyes, like the disturbed surface of a lake, instantly froze.

The girl's brilliant smile seemed to sting his eyes and ignite the nameless jealousy in his heart. A strong feeling of jealousy surged in his heart, like a sharp knife stabbing his heart.

"Xiaotong, can you talk to me? I do have something to ask you..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang never expected that, driven by jealousy, he would actually separate the two people who were chatting and laughing together before.

When he realized what he had done, his face turned red and he felt a surge of regret.

He wondered to himself, if Hoshino Hitomi sensed the jealousy and anxiety in his heart, would she dislike him?

After all, no one likes a narrow-minded, jealous and suspicious person...

When he thought of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's mood became heavier, as if a heavy burden was pressing on him and he could hardly breathe.

At this moment, he really hoped that time could go back and he could take back the thoughtless words he had just spoken, but reality ruthlessly told him that it was already too late...

Just when his thoughts were in a mess, the girl's voice sounded like the sound of nature, soft and moving, like a stream of clear spring flowing through his heart, dispelling the doubts that had piled up in his heart.

"Hiro, if you have any questions for me, just ask them directly. Don't be so reserved. Is there something estranged between us?"

Hoshino Hitomi looked at Zhufu Jingguang with a smile, and her words were full of teasing.

Zhu Fujingguang shook his head subconsciously, his cheeks slightly flushed, and he stammered, "No, it's not."

When Hoshino Hitomi saw the immature and shy look of Zhufu Jingguang in front of her, her worries were finally completely dispelled.

[Right, how could Hiro do something so weird? I was overthinking it.]

"So what do you want to ask me, Hiro?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression became a little more serious, and the blush on his face faded a little. After a while, he said with a serious face:

"Xiaotong, actually, a few days ago, the four of us had a very realistic dream at the same time. In the dream, Xiaotong unfortunately got an incurable disease... and ended up committing suicide."

When he said this, Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression was as if shrouded in a haze, sadness flowed freely on his face like a tide, and his tone became as heavy as a block of lead.

"I want to ask you, what does this have to do with your secret?"

"Also, is this a dream or something that really happened..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang mustered up his courage and asked the question that had been puzzling them for the past few days with a nervous mood.

The four police academy students present all looked nervous, hoping in their hearts that Hoshino Hitomi would deny their speculations and tell them in person that this was just a dream and had nothing to do with her in reality.

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hitomi looked confused for a moment, with a complicated expression. Then she lowered her eyes, making it impossible to guess her emotions and true thoughts at the moment.

She thought that these four people might ask her about this, but she didn't expect that Zhufu Jingguang, who usually had the gentlest personality, would be the first to ask about this. Now she could not deceive these four people even more.

Hitomi Hoshino was secretly struggling in her heart. She knew she had to make a decision, but this decision made her feel extremely difficult.

After a long struggle and thinking, she finally made up her mind to confess the truth to those people.

Because she understood that if she continued to hide the truth, it would not only fail to solve the problem, but might make things worse and even deepen the misunderstanding and estrangement between them.

After a long time, Hoshino Hitomi slowly opened her mouth. Her tone was as gentle as water, but it pierced people's hearts like a sword.

"The dream you had was not false, but actually happened. The me in your dream is the same person as I am now. The last me... was indeed as you said, I committed suicide."
