Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 146 Conan, you and Ran can't be together.

Teitan Elementary School, Grade 1, Class B.

At this moment, Conan stared blankly at the blackboard in front of him and the math teacher who was explaining the problem, his hand unconsciously twirling the pen.

He couldn't hear a single word his math teacher was explaining.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand, but rather that he simply had no interest in listening to the math lesson, and his mind was in complete turmoil.

Conan remembered what Yukiko had said that morning, and that's why he was so distracted and couldn't listen to her.

"Damn it! How did things turn out like this?!"

"If I hadn't gone to my mom, this problem wouldn't have happened. I'm such an idiot!"

Conan clutched his hair with both hands, his face contorted in pain.

Because of him, his mother is planning to pursue Kitahara-sensei, and Ran has also introduced Aunt Eri to Kitahara-sensei. In that case, wouldn't the two of them bump into each other?

If the two of them were to actually bump into each other, their decades-long friendship might be ruined because of Kitahara Natsuyu.

And all of this was caused by his loose tongue.

He is a sinner!

That's why Conan is in so much pain; that's the root of his suffering.

Bang!
Suddenly, Conan felt something hit his forehead, jolting him out of his self-reproach. Looking down, he saw a piece of chalk.

"chalk?"

The next second, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even the sunlight was blocked out.

"teacher"

Conan stiffly turned his head and saw his math teacher standing next to him with a textbook.

"You, go stand outside as punishment!"

The math teacher pushed up his glasses and pointed down the corridor expressionlessly: "And I will tell Mr. Kitahara exactly what you just said!"

"what?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had just spoken his true feelings.

No wonder his classmates looked at him with such surprise.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Get out and stand in the corner as punishment! Don't think that just because you get good grades I won't punish you. Get out!" the math teacher said again.

"Yes."

Conan nodded, walked slowly from the classroom to the corridor outside, stood against the wall as punishment, and looked into the distance with an exceptionally sad expression.

The math teacher watched Conan's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, "Conan has become increasingly sentimental ever since what happened at home."

"He's becoming less and less like a child."

After he became Conan's teacher, he realized that Conan was no ordinary elementary school student. He was proficient in all subjects and could get a perfect score every time.

It even covers some high school and university level knowledge.

This led him to believe that Conan was a child prodigy, but he later discovered that he was wrong.

Conan is a child prodigy, but he is overly sentimental, especially after what happened at home.

This made him think that Conan, this child prodigy, might turn into a problem child.

So he decided to have a serious talk with Kitahara-sensei and make sure Conan got back on track.

"What's wrong with Conan?" Ayumi asked Mitsuhiko in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko glanced at his teacher and whispered, "It might be something about Conan's family, or it might be about Ran."

"Based on my observation, Conan, he..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Misuhiko!"

At that moment, the math teacher looked over at Mitsuhiko and Ayumi and called out softly.

Upon hearing this voice, Mitsuhiko immediately fell silent, holding his textbook with a sheepish grin on his face.

Ayumi, standing to the side, did the same.

"Now let's continue the lesson."

Ding-ling-ling
Shortly after, the bell rang, the math teacher put away his textbook, called out "get out of class dismissed," and left the classroom.

After the teacher left, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta immediately went outside and caught Conan.

"Conan, what's wrong?" Ayumi asked with concern, looking at Conan's somber expression.

Genta and Mitsuhiko also came over: "Conan, you don't look well, do you have a cold?"

"Would you like to go to the infirmary?"

Upon hearing this, Conan forced a smile and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just have a bit of an upset stomach, I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Watching Conan's departing figure, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta all narrowed their eyes.

They were certain that Conan wasn't just suffering from a stomachache; he was hiding something from them.

They knew Conan's character all too well. He'd always pretend to have a stomachache whenever something happened, but actually he was secretly investigating some case without them by his side.

They've been tricked by Conan many times, but this time, they won't fall for it again.

However, this is not the time to confront Conan; let's wait until after school!

Anyway, Conan is still in school; he can't run away, and he doesn't dare to.

"By the way, Mitsuhiko, what were you about to tell me?" Ayumi turned to look at Mitsuhiko. During class, Mitsuhiko was about to tell her something, but the teacher interrupted him, which made her very curious.

And it's about Conan, something she needs to know.

"Oh, about that." Mitsuhiko smiled, draped his arm over Ayumi and Genta, and the three of them formed a circle, whispering, "From what I've observed, Conan seems to like Ran-neechan!"

"What? Conan likes Ran?"

When Yuan Tai heard this news, he was stunned and couldn't believe it.

It's unbelievable that Conan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually likes Ran and doesn't like Ayumi. It's really too much.

Although Ran is also very beautiful, Ayumi is still the best in the world.

Upon hearing this, Ayumi's face flashed with a hint of sorrow: "Actually, I've noticed that too. Conan does like Ran-neechan. He only smiles especially happily when he's with Ran-neechan."

“Even when Sister Xiaolan is unhappy, he will be unhappy.”

"So Conan really does like Ran!"

Ayumi likes Conan, Conan likes Ran, and Mitsuhiko and Genta like Ayumi.

Therefore, the relationship between Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Conan, and Ran is complex.

All I can say is, the student community is a mess!
Genta blinked as he listened to Ayumi's words, thinking to himself, "Why do Mitsuhiko and Ayumi know this, but I don't?"

He felt a slight itch on his head, as if something was about to grow out.

“However,” Mitsuhiko paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, “Conan’s efforts are in vain, because Ran-neechan likes Shinichi Kudo, so Conan’s feelings for Ran-neechan are useless, and their age difference is too great.”

"I think Conan is probably worried about this!"

"That's right, that's right, Ran-neechan wouldn't like Conan, after all, they're so far apart in age!"

Thinking of this, Ayumi smiled and felt relieved.

After all, she has no advantage over Xiaolan.

But after hearing Mitsuhiko's analysis, she felt it made a lot of sense. The age difference was too great, and Ran-neechan also had Shinichi-nii.

How could she possibly be interested in a little kid like Conan?

I feel relieved now.

First grade, office.

After returning to his office, the math teacher went straight to Kitahara Natsuhiro, who was drinking tea, and pushed up his glasses, saying, "Teacher Kitahara."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Ito-sensei?"

The math teacher in front of them was named Kouichi Ito, who was thirty years old and already married with children.

Mr. Ito nodded and said, "Here's what happened. I've noticed that Conan in our class seems to be having some troubles."

"It must be a family matter."

"So I'd like to ask you, Kitahara-sensei, to talk some advice to Conan. We can't let him become a problem student."

"Conan is very talented in mathematics; he's a child prodigy."

As he spoke, Mr. Ito became somewhat agitated.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "A prodigy?"

"Mr. Ito, you've been fooled. Conan is just a high school student who turned into an elementary school student."

"Although he is very smart, he cannot be called a child prodigy."

For true child prodigies, we still need to look to Shiho Miyano and Hiroki Sawada.

One person, with very little data remaining, copied the Silver Bullet; another developed artificial intelligence, Noah's Ark.

This is a true prodigy.

Conan is just a high school student in the guise of a child; he's not a prodigy, but he's certainly a genius.

"Mr. Ito, please don't get agitated," Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ito calmed down and said apologetically, "Sorry, I got a little excited."

"I'm very happy to think that I have a child prodigy under my tutelage."

"After all, the last child prodigy to appear in Tokyo was Hiroki Sawada, who unfortunately died young."

Hiroki Sawada committed suicide by jumping off a building two years ago. Before his suicide, he released his artificial intelligence, Noah's Ark, on the internet, allowing it to grow freely.

Furthermore, this kind of artificial intelligence achieves in one year what others achieve in five years.

She's already ten years old, the same age as Hiroki Sawada.

“I understand how you feel, Mr. Ito.”

“How about this, I’ll go have a heart-to-heart talk with Conan around noon and see what’s bothering him. If there’s any progress, I’ll let you know as soon as possible,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

Ito said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Kitahara-sensei."

"It's no trouble at all. After all, I'm the homeroom teacher, and it's my duty."

Afterwards, Mr. Ito returned to his seat.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro stroked his chin and said, "Is Conan having any troubles right now?"

"How could I not know? This guy can eat and sleep well, what worries could he possibly have?"

"That is, the problem is that there is no antidote for APTX-4869."

"But according to Ito-sensei, Conan's troubles are about Yukiko. What exactly are they?"

He was a little curious.
