Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 128 Beiyuan: Xiaolan, you are truly a good daughter to your father.

"Sister Xiaolan".

Conan stood outside the gate, his hand already gripping the handle, but he didn't dare to turn it and open the gate.

He was afraid that if he opened the door, Xiaolan would still be the same as yesterday.

If Xiaolan hasn't recovered yet, will she be like this for the rest of her life?
Upon realizing this, Conan was horrified and immediately banished the terrifying thought from his mind.

"No, no, it can't be. Kitahara-sensei said Ran is all better, so she must be better. I believe Kitahara-sensei!"

After such a long period of contact, he already knew that Kitahara Natsuyu was a very capable person, and he had no reason to lie to him.

Therefore, Xiaolan must be better now.

Conan took a deep breath, turned the handle, and opened the door.

When he opened the door, he was greeted by Ran's cheerful laughter, while Eri and Yukiko were temporarily ignored.

Apart from Xiaolan, no other woman could catch his eye.

"Conan."

When Ran heard the door open, she turned around and saw that it was Conan. She quickly got up and went to Conan's side.

"Conan, thank you. I saw everything you did for me yesterday."

Although she closed herself off yesterday, she was still able to sense what was happening outside, so she knew everything Conan did.

She knew that Conan bought medicine for her and cleaned her wounds, and she also knew that Conan brought Kitahara Natsuhiro and Edogawa Fumiyo over.

Therefore, Conan is also her savior.

Conan looked at Ran, who was so close to him, and asked excitedly, "Ran-neechan, have you recovered yet?"

Ran crouched down and stroked Conan's forehead: "Yes! We have to thank you all for your help, otherwise I don't know what I would be like now."

"So you don't need to worry anymore, I'm all better now."

"By the way, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat some together."

Ran held Conan's hand and led him to the dining table.

Conan, looking at Ran's smile, was somewhat lost in thought.

It turns out that Sister Xiaolan has really recovered and is still the same Sister Xiaolan. That's wonderful.

Just then, a teasing voice came to his ear: "Your sister Xiaolan has recovered. Aren't you happy? You really like your sister Xiaolan."

"Yup!"

Conan nodded subconsciously, then immediately came to his senses and waved his hand hastily, saying, "I...I just..."

"It's just that Sister Xiaolan is very kind to me, that's why I like her, it's not what you think!"

With a thud, Conan's face turned red, and he lowered his head, remaining silent.

That wretched mom of mine, saying these things at this time! Isn't she just trying to trick me?
And is it even possible to say "I like Ran" in public?

Just as Eri Kisaki saw, Shinichi Kudo and Kogoro Mouri are really very similar, especially their tsundere personalities, which are practically identical.

However, Eri Kisaki is unaware that the Conan in front of her is Shinichi Kudo; she simply sees him as an ordinary child.

Hearing this, both Ran and Eri laughed and didn't take it seriously.

However, Yukiko was very dissatisfied with Conan's answer, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

What a useless thing! He doesn't even dare to admit he likes someone. I, Fujimine Yukiko, actually gave birth to such a coward. I regret it so much!

At this moment, Eri Kisaki asked, "Conan, now that you're here, shouldn't Kogoro Mouri be here too?!"

She understands Kogoro Mouri; although he's usually unreliable, he becomes serious when it comes to Ran or her.

It's too late to take it seriously now, far too late.

The atmosphere in the room changed after those words were spoken.

If the sky was clear and sunny just now, it's now overcast.

Although Xiaolan already knew that the matter was beyond repair, hearing it with her own ears was still very painful.

Yukiko saw that Ran was feeling unwell and reached out to pat her.

Upon hearing this, Conan said seriously, "Aunt Eri, I came with Uncle Mori and Mr. Kitahara. They are on the first floor right now."

"Uncle Maoli was afraid that Sister Xiaolan would be angry with you, so he didn't come up."

"Meanwhile, Kitahara-sensei was comforting Uncle Mori."

"Thank you, Conan." Eri Kisaki got up and went to the living room window, from which she could see the first floor.

She glanced outside and saw Kitahara Natsuhiro and Mouri Kogoro chatting on the first floor.

Even though it was through the window, she could still tell that Kogoro Mouri looked much more haggard.

But this time she won't be soft-hearted, otherwise she'll repeat the same mistake.

With that thought in mind, she took out her phone and made a call.

Ran, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Eri. She turned and threw herself into Yukiko's arms to ease her pain.

Toot toot.
The phone was finally answered after ringing for several seconds.

"Engli."

Kogoro Mouri's hoarse voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki glanced at Kogoro Mouri below and said calmly, "You should know why I called you."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri remained silent for a few seconds. When he spoke again, his voice became even hoarseer, as if something was stuck in his throat, something he couldn't swallow or spit out.

"know."

"We'll go through the divorce proceedings whenever you have time."

“I have time right now,” Eri Kisaki blurted out immediately.

She had been waiting for this moment for years and didn't want to wait any longer.

So let's end these ten years of suffering! At that moment, Kogoro Mouri looked up and happened to see Eri Kisaki by the window. After seeing her expressionless face, he sighed deeply and said with a bitter expression, "I understand."

"I'll go with you to process the divorce later."

"However, Xiaolan will still stay with me!"

It's not that he can't live without Xiaolan, but that Xiaolan is now his only thought. If he loses Xiaolan, he doesn't know what kind of monster he would become.

But in reality, he just couldn't live without Xiaolan.

Eri Kisaki also noticed Kogoro Mouri's gaze, and without flinching, her face grew even uglier.

"Hmph. Let Xiaolan decide this herself. She's an adult now and has the right to choose the rest of her life."

If possible, she hoped Xiaolan would come to her place.

Although she is busy with work and cases every day, the environment here is much better than here, at least she doesn't have to be harmed by secondhand smoke.

Of course, ultimately it depends on Xiaolan; she won't force Xiaolan.

It all depends on Xiaolan's wishes; as long as Xiaolan is happy, that's all that matters.

"Okay, I understand. I won't go up. I'll wait for you down here."

"Ah."

Fei Ying responded with a reply and then hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later.

Eri Kisaki, Yukiko, Conan, and Ran came down from the third floor.

Ran was wearing her Teitan High School uniform, so it looked like she was getting ready to go to school.

Eri Kisaki originally intended to stay and keep Ran company, but she couldn't persuade Ran to go to school, so she had no choice but to agree to Ran's request.

However, she also knew why Xiaolan did this; it was because she didn't want to be reminded of those memories.

Ten years ago, this was where their family lived, but now everything has changed, and it's hard not to feel sad after seeing it so often.

It would be better to go to school, talk to your good friends, and distract yourself.

"Ran, you go to school first, you don't need to worry about the rest," Eri said.

Hearing this, Ran nodded, but when she saw Kogoro Mouri's dejected appearance, she couldn't help but sigh.

No matter what, he is still my father, and he raised me to adulthood.

so.
Ran rushed to Kogoro Mouri's side and threw herself into his arms: "Dad, I hope you can pull yourself together, and I will always be by your side."

She decided to stay here.

Because this place is filled with memories of her family, even though it might evoke painful emotions, she still wants to stay here so that she can remember that they are still a family.

"Xiao Lan."

Kogoro Mouri was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ran in front of him and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's all Dad's fault, it's all Dad's fault."

"Dad will never do that again. I will work hard and never let Xiaolan down again."

"Yes." Xiaolan nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "I know you can do it, Dad."

So don't let me down.

"Yes, I definitely won't let you down!"

After receiving Kogoro Mouri's promise, Ran wiped away her tears and smiled at everyone: "Conan, let's go to school."

"Okay!" Conan nodded and followed Ran.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsumi, who was standing to the side, finally spoke up: "It's getting late, I should go to work too."

"Then I'll take my leave."

He caught up with Ran and Conan.

"I went to work too."

With that, Yukiko ran off and went straight into the restaurant.

At this point, only Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki remained on the street.

"Let's go."

Eri Kisaki walked over, took out two notebooks from her bag, and handed one to Kogoro Mouri.

After taking the notebook, Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Teacher Kitahara, thank you so much this time. Without your help, I might not have been able to get through this." Ran bowed to Kitahara Natsuyu in gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu helped Xiaolan up and said with a smile, "We are friends, and I am your teacher and student. Naturally, I wouldn't stand idly by in such a situation, so there's no need for thanks."

"If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal next time."

He would never mind having too many dinner parties.

Hearing this, Xiaolan laughed: "But speaking of dinner parties, I want to ask, Mr. Kitahara, what do you think of my mother?"

"Attorney Fei, she is a good woman."

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, what do you think of my mother as a person? How do you feel about her? Do you have any feelings of liking for her?"

"Ok?"

Kitahara Natsumi understood and stared at Ran with wide eyes.

Could it be that you also want to be my daughter?

Conan, standing to the side, also widened his eyes, thinking to himself.

Sister Xiaolan is acting strangely!
