After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 188: Support

After an unknown amount of time, she finally let him go, and their tightly pressed lips slowly separated, allowing her to catch her breath.

Kenji Hagiwara was breathing heavily, his Adam's apple moving gently as if he was swallowing something. His eyes were full of affection and attachment, and they fell directly on the black-haired girl in front of him.

Then, he slowly raised his hand and gently tucked the girl's slightly curly hair behind her ears.

His fingertips, covered with a thin layer of calluses, inadvertently brushed across the girl's delicate skin, causing a slight shudder.

Kenji Hagiwara's eyes never left the girl's face. He looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, her slightly red cheeks, and her cherry-like tender lips, and an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

He gently held her in his arms, lowered his head, and pressed his face against her fluffy, soft curls, feeling her warmth and softness.

"Tong-chan, I feel like I can never leave you..."

He whispered, his tone filled with a hint of strong love and deep dependence.

His voice is deep and magnetic, which makes people feel moved.

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "Then Kenji, stay with me forever. I will definitely treat you well~"

The corners of Hagiwara Kenji's mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile, and he said in a playful tone: "Are you serious about what you said, Hitomi-chan? I have already regarded your words just now as a real promise."

Hoshino Hitomi was silent for a while, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she said in an unclear tone: "When everything is over... I will fulfill my promise to you."

She then raised her eyes to look at him and asked seriously, "Yanji, if one day almost all bombers in Japan are caught by the police, and there are no more bombs posing a threat to the public, will you choose to continue to be a police officer, or choose... to come to me and return to a normal life?"

Hagiwara Kenji smiled heartlessly and said, "Since people will no longer be at risk of being persecuted by bombs... then the first thing I will do is, of course, quit my job as a police officer and spend all day with Hitomi-chan~"

After a moment, the smile on his face faded a lot, and his appearance changed from his usual casual look to overly serious.

"However, under that premise, I don't want Tong-chan to put herself in danger just for us to live a normal and stable life. If Tong-chan really does that... I will bring Tong-chan back at the cost of my own life."

Seeing the rare stubbornness in his eyes, Hoshino Hitomi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's just a hypothesis, Kenji, there's no need to take it so seriously, and did I ever say I would do this?"

Hagiwara Kenji sighed and said helplessly: "I know that Hitomi-chan is very strong, both from her family background and from herself. Maybe... in the future, she will really be able to eliminate all the bombers."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, with dark emotions swirling in her beautiful eyes.

"But Tong-chan is also a human being. As long as you are a human being, you only have one life. So I just want to be selfish and don't want Tong-chan to be in any danger of life again, let alone let Tong-chan wade into this muddy water, even a little bit."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hoshino Hitomi's eyes, and she said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Hey, your tough attitude this time is a bit beyond my expectations... I thought you would choose to support me all the time, why don't you trust me a little more this time? I don't necessarily have to use force to subdue them..."

Hagiwara Kenji's heart tightened, and he immediately turned his head away, no longer looking at her aggrieved and pitiful eyes. He finally hardened his heart and said, "Hitomi-chan, it's useless for you to pretend to be pitiful to me this time. There's no way I can agree to this, and it's even less likely that Xiao Zhenping will agree..."

Hoshino Hitomi snorted proudly, held the other person's face, turned his head back again, frowned slightly and said: "Who said I need your consent? I just asked for your opinion."

"Since you just said that humans only have one life, my life is a life, but your lives are not?"

"I am sure of what will happen in the future. This level of danger will not threaten my life."

Hagiwara Kenji frowned, as if he wanted to say something else, "Hitomi-chan..."

Before he could finish his words, Hoshino Hitomi pressed her slender white index finger against his lips, forcing him to stop talking.

"Don't worry, I won't solve this problem by force alone. I will stand on the same front with you. In addition, I promise that I will not endanger my life. I guarantee it with my strength."

Hoshino Hitomi jumped down from the dining table, gently patted the other person's strong shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, you go back to the living room. I want to heat up a pot of tea again. We have been chatting for so long that the water temperature has dropped."

Kenji Hagiwara suddenly hugged the other person tightly from behind, resting his chin lightly on the top of the other person's slightly curly black hair, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

"Hitomi-chan, if Xiao Zhenping and I didn't go to the explosive ordnance disposal team, would you... not do such a dangerous thing?"

Hoshino Hitomi thought for a while and replied calmly: "If it were in the past, maybe. But now I choose to respect your choice, and defeating those bombers is also one of my future plans that must be implemented, because... I have already had grudges with some of the bombers."

"I will have to do much more dangerous things than this in the future, so catching these scums won't be too difficult for me."

A trace of shock flashed across Kenji Hagiwara's eyes. After he came to his senses, he asked a series of questions with a worried look on his face.

"You have a feud with the bomber? Why? Did they take revenge on you, Hitomi-chan?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and said, "Well... I can't tell you for now. Anyway, they were the ones who picked on me first. As for whether they will retaliate against me next, you don't need to worry too much, because before they retaliate against me, I will most likely send them to the eighteenth level of hell first."

After saying that, she unfurled her arms and changed the subject, "Yanji, when there are no more bombers posing a threat to society, are you willing to come and work at the auto repair company under my group's name?"

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned when he heard this, then he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, and instead of answering, he asked: "Can I take what Hitomi-chan said as you want to support me?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled gently and said, "Is it not possible? Kenji is so handsome, it's normal for me to want to support you. If you don't want to... I will respect your choice in the future."

Hagiwara Kenji immediately denied it and said with a smile, "It's not impossible. On the contrary, I am willing to work for Tong-chan. After all, having a boss as kind-hearted as Tong-chan will give me endless motivation to go to work every day."

He leaned down slightly, supported the wall behind her with one hand, half-circled her in his arms, and asked in an ambiguous tone: "But... Tong-chan said she wanted to support me, is it just because I'm handsome?"
