Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 117 Yukiko: Conan, this is your new dad.

The familiar figure is none other than Conan!
After undergoing the trials of growth, Conan has finally returned, though his health bar isn't full yet.

"Ahem." Conan, wearing a mask, coughed twice and looked up at Kitahara Natsuhiro: "Good morning, Kitahara-sensei."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled like a loving father, squatted down, and stroked Conan's little head.

"Conan, I'm so happy to see you've recovered. If you ever have anything you want to say, you can come to me. I'll listen to you and won't tell anyone."

"Don't keep it all bottled up inside," Kitahara Natsumi said earnestly.

Hearing this, Conan felt a warmth in his heart, smiled, and said energetically, "Teacher, I have fully recovered and have not been affected by them at all, so you can rest assured."

"But... how is my mom now?"

"Is she very sad?" Conan asked cautiously.

He himself is fine now.

After all, the divorce is a done deal and he can't change it. Rather than continuing to be angry and ruining his health, he might as well live a good life.

Moreover, he not only has his mother and mother by his side, but also good friends like Genta, and most importantly, he has Ran.

Therefore, he must live a healthy life, find the people who shrunk his body, obtain the antidote, and restore himself to Shinichi Kudo's original form.

This incident also made Conan realize that the world is not static, and even the best feelings can change.

My own parents are a case in point; perhaps Xiaolan will also leave me for some reason.

His top priority now is to find those who drugged him, obtain the antidote, and make a triumphant return.

Only in this way can we keep Xiaolan and drive away the blond guy around her.

Despite this crisis, he has rallied and is ready to make a big splash.

Conan was quite worried about his mother's situation.

He knew that Aunt Chris had left Tokyo and returned to the United States for work, and that his mother, having been a housewife for so many years, didn't have many friends.

They might do something foolish in a moment of despair.

Fortunately, Mr. Kitahara is very close to his mother, and he has asked the teacher to take care of her for him, so there shouldn't be any problems.

As for his father, Yusaku Kudo, he wasn't worried at all.

He can eat, drink, and sleep with women, so what does he have to worry about?

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Mrs. Edogawa is fine. She's working at the store right now and is in a stable mood. Besides, there's also Aya and Azusa at the store, so there won't be any problems."

So you don't need to worry.

Besides, I've even taken care of your mother to bed. Now I'm practically your father, so you don't need to worry anymore.

Kitahara Natsuhiro naturally didn't say those words aloud.

After all, Yukiko hasn't officially divorced yet, and their relationship shouldn't be told to others.

Besides, this is an adult matter, and Conan, being a child, doesn't need to know so much.

Sometimes, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

Hearing this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his mother might have a moment of despair and try to commit suicide.

It seems that what he feared did not happen, which is a good thing.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Kitahara, for taking care of my mother."

Conan took two steps back and bowed ninety degrees to Kitahara Natsuyu.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, seeing Conan bowing, scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed, but as Conan's father, he was entitled to the bow.

"Ahem, I'm your teacher, it's only right that I help my students, no need to be so polite."

Kitahara Natsuhiro helped Conan up.

"By the way, Mrs. Edogawa is also very concerned about you, but she is afraid that if you see her, it will worsen your condition, so she hasn't come to visit you."

"Now that you're alright, come with me to the shop after school and see Mrs. Edogawa."

Yukiko still cares about Conan, but she's also afraid that seeing her will upset him and worsen his condition.

The only option is to have Kitahara Natsuhiro act as a middleman and relay the message.

Upon hearing this, Conan nodded and said, "I'm almost fully recovered now, so I'm going back to Uncle Mori's place today."

"I'll have a good talk with my mom then, so she won't worry."

He's recovered now and naturally doesn't need Professor Agasa's care anymore. Although it's a bit heartless, he wants to stay by Ran's side so that he can feel a little safe.

“Okay.” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “Go with the teacher after school. It’s getting late, you should go to the classroom first.”

"it is good."

Conan smiled and was about to go inside when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Conan!"

When Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi saw Conan, they ran over and surrounded him, looking very happy.

"Conan, you're finally fully recovered. Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Conan."

The three of them, Yuan Tai, spoke all at once.

Conan was somewhat moved: "Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, thank you." Just as Conan was feeling sentimental, an untimely voice appeared around them.

"Alright, if you have something to say, go into the classroom. It's getting late," Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Upon hearing this, Genta and the others paused for a moment, then turned to greet Kitahara Natsuyu, before pulling Conan along and chatting as they walked into the school.

Kitahara Natsuhiro watched the four of them walk away, a relieved smile on his face: "Conan, I can rest assured that you have such friends by your side."

yawn.

Suddenly, Conan sneezed, but didn't pay any attention to it.

Teitan High School, Class 2-B.

"Xiao Lan, you've invited your aunt to dinner again. Are you planning to persuade her to go home?" Yuanzi exclaimed in surprise.

She admired Ran so much. Ever since Eri left the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran had been trying her best to reconcile the two and get Eri back home.

Ran's efforts did yield some results, but they were all ruined by Kogoro Mouri.

Because every time they ate out, Kogoro Mouri would spot a beautiful woman and then lewdly look at her.

This made Eri Kisaki very unhappy, and she walked away without looking back.

So now, Eri Kisaki only eats with Ran, not with Kogoro Mouri.

Eri Kisaki would only reluctantly eat with Kogoro Mouri on Ran's birthday.

Even so, Ran persisted relentlessly, trying to reconcile the two for decades, a feat that Sonoko greatly admired.

“Yes,” Xiaolan sighed. “I know it’s difficult, but as her daughter, this is all I can do.”

"We can't just watch Dad and Mom actually get divorced!"

"Besides, my dad is in such a state now that someone needs to take care of him. It's time for my mom to come back."

She felt a headache coming on whenever she thought about her father's current situation, and she desperately wanted her mother to come back and discipline her father.

What's the difference between being separated for ten years and getting a divorce?
Sonoko mentally complained, then put on a serious face.

"Impossible. Uncle Mori is now an alcoholic, smoker, pachinko player, and likes to flirt with young girls. Aunt Eri is not coming back."

She frequently visits Ran's detective agency, so she knows Kogoro Mouri quite well.

Faced with a man like that, Eri Kisaki would never go back, and any other woman would make the same choice.

She even believes that Eri Kisaki divorcing Kogoro Mouri is the best option.

They've been separated for ten years. Even the best feelings can't withstand the ravages of time, even if they were childhood sweethearts and have a daughter named Xiaolan.

However, Sonoko would never say this out loud.

She didn't want to upset Xiaolan.

Hearing this, Xiaolan sighed heavily again.

Because what Sonoko said is true, her dad really is like that.

"Do you think there's any way to get my mom back?" Xiaolan asked.

"Oh, you're asking me that?" Sonoko paused for a moment, stroked her chin and thought for a while, then said, "If Uncle Mori could quit drinking, stop playing pachinko, stop hitting on young girls, and then become a submissive, I think Aunt Eri would consider it!"

"As expected," Xiaolan said, her expression darkening. "It's a vicious cycle."

"I want my mom to come back and take care of my dad, and get rid of these bad habits."

"But only by giving up these bad habits can Mom possibly come back. This is truly a dead end!"

She didn't know what to do. She really didn't know what to do.

Seeing Ran's troubled expression, Sonoko felt a pang of sympathy. She patted Ran on the back and comforted her, "They're all adults now. You shouldn't have to worry about these things."

"They might make up on their own someday, so don't overthink it and stop worrying about it."

Ran knew Sonoko was trying to comfort her, but she just couldn't bring herself to smile.

Seeing this, Sonoko quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how's that little rascal at your house? Has he been punished by the teacher to copy the school rules yet?" Sonoko asked quickly.

Upon hearing this, Ran said, "Conan hasn't been punished by copying school rules recently."

"However, he stayed at Professor Agasa's house for the past few days, but before he left, he didn't look too good, as if he had encountered some trouble."

She clearly remembered that Conan's expression wasn't very good when he left the agency that day.

She went up and asked, but Conan didn't say anything.

She then called Professor Agasa, but he said it was nothing, just a childish thing, and told her not to worry.

But she always felt that Conan was hiding something from her, and it definitely wasn't something that children were arguing about.

"Maybe she was bullied at school, that's why she's like this."

"It's just a matter between children, so don't worry about it."

Sonoko said.

"is that so."

Ding-ling-ling
Just then, the bell rang for class.
