Chapter 128: Shoot from both sides!
Su Xingbo shook his head and chuckled, "I was the one who confessed to you on the Sallybeth. If you don't believe me, I'll repeat what I said to you back then."
"Xiao Lan, you've been by my side since we were children, as warm as the sun and as bright as the stars. Your smile is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen; it illuminates all my darkest corners."
"Xiao Lan, I want to tell you that no matter where I am or what I become, my heart will always be with you. My love for you is like a puzzle I can't solve, unfathomable yet clearly visible."
"I may not be a perfect person, and I may not be able to be by your side all the time, but I promise that no matter when or where, as long as you need me, I will do my best to get to your side as soon as possible."
"I love you, Xiaolan. This love is more important than any case, more precious than any truth. Please let me spend the rest of my life proving my love for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan was completely stunned, frozen in place. Because the news report on television hadn't covered the details of the confession, someone who could remember it so clearly was probably...
She couldn't believe this was true.
"Then why did you pretend to be him to deceive my feelings!"
"Do you know how long I've waited for this day? Do you know how long I've longed for this scene? How could you toy with my feelings!" Xiaolan screamed at him, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing this, Su Xingbo felt bad too. He took out a tissue and stepped forward to help her wipe away her tears, but she dodged away.
"leave me alone!"
"Ok."
"Actually, it was Shinichi Kudo who told me some things before he died. He entrusted me to take care of you before he passed away."
"Impossible, impossible, this is fake!" Xiaolan simply didn't believe it.
Su Xingbai sighed helplessly and pretended to take out a voice recorder from his pocket, but actually took it out of the system space.
"Ran, if you don't believe me, you can listen to this. This is Shinichi's last voice."
Ran took the recorder with some skepticism, and when she heard Shinichi's weak yet familiar voice, her body couldn't help but tremble.
In the recording, Shinichi expressed his reluctance to part with her and his worries about her future life, hoping that Su Xingbo could protect Xiaolan for a period of time in his capacity as her guardian until she completely overcame her grief.
This thing has finally come in handy. He had already recorded the audio before coming, and now it's perfect for use!
After hearing this, Xiaolan burst into tears. Su Xingbo gently patted her shoulder, and this time Xiaolan no longer rejected Su Xingbo's approach.
Su Xingbo added fuel to the fire: "At first, I was just approaching you as Shinichi instructed, but as we spent more time together, I realized that I had really fallen in love with you, which is why I couldn't help but confess to you on the Sallybeth. I know I was wrong and shouldn't have kept it from you, but my love for you is real."
Xiao Lan raised her tear-streaked face and looked at Su Xingbo with complicated emotions. She didn't know whether she should forgive him or not. Su Xingbo stood there quietly, waiting for Xiao Lan's response.
Do you know how close Sonoko and I are?
Su Xingbai nodded and said, "I know."
Xiaolan shook her head painfully: "It's impossible for us. You already have Yuanzi."
Su Xingbo has decided to unleash his ultimate move.
“Sonoko’s older sister, Ayako, is also my woman, and Sonoko knows about this. We get along very well.”
Xiao Lan stared wide-eyed at Su Xingbo in disbelief. "You... how could you do this?"
Su Xingbo said earnestly, "Love doesn't have so many rules to bind us. My feelings for you are genuine, and Yuanzi and the others accept this special relationship. Xiaolan, I know this is hard for you to understand, but I don't want to lie to you."
Ran remained silent for a long time, her mind filled with memories of Shinichi and the complex emotional entanglements with the man before her.
Even so, I find it difficult to accept others immediately.
Su Xingbo gave a wry smile. "I understand, I understand you very well, and I won't force you. But I will always be by your side, like a friend, until the day you are willing to re-examine my feelings."
Xiao Lan looked up at him slightly, her eyes still showing a hint of resistance, but there seemed to be something else in them as well.
"Let's start by being friends, but I need some time to process all of this."
Su Xingbai nodded, "Okay, I can wait no matter how long it takes." After he finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two became subtle, and a new relationship was slowly being built.
Su Xingbo tried to take her hand and gently touched it. When he found that she did not pull away, he grabbed her hand and they held hands tightly.
It was too late for Su Xingbo to see Xiaolan's expression clearly, but he could imagine her blushing with embarrassment.
The two strolled along the beach, a gentle sea breeze bringing a touch of coolness.
As they walked, a sudden flash of light appeared ahead, the streetlights flickering, adding to the atmosphere between the two of them.
Back at the hotel, we were given two rooms.
door of the room.
"Ran, let me take you to see the cenotaph I set up for Shinichi tomorrow. It's been a long time, I wonder if someone will destroy it."
"Is Shinichi's grave on this island?" Ran asked eagerly.
Su Xingbo nodded and replied, "Yes, after Shinichi was killed by the terrorist organization, his body was never found, only his clothes and cell phone were left behind. So I buried the clothes and cell phone in the cenotaph I set up for him."
"Can we go take a look now?"
"No, it's too late now. Can I take you to see it first thing tomorrow morning?"
Xiaolan didn't speak, but just looked at him with her teary eyes, as if those eyes could speak.
He couldn't stand that kind of gaze; it was an irresistible look.
Anyway, I'll be going to see it tomorrow morning, so there's no problem going now.
"Alright then, let's go see now, but it's getting dark, so you'll have to hold my hand the whole way, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiao Lan excitedly hugged Su Xingbo's left hand, then stood on tiptoe and gently tapped his cheek.
Su Xingbo turned his head to the other side of his face and pointed with his finger, indicating that kissing only one side was not enough and the other side also needed to be kissed.
Xiaolan shyly tiptoed and gently kissed the other side again, then rolled her eyes in annoyance.
