Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 356 Rena Mizunashi: Why didn't you introduce him to me?
"Hello, is this Yoko?" Kitahara Natsuyu answered the phone with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing the name Yoko, both Conan and Ai simultaneously thought of the same woman.

That's Yoko Okino.

Because they all knew that Yoko Okino was Natsuhiro Kitahara's neighbor, and that something had happened between the two of them.

It wasn't a big deal, and it was pretty cliché—just a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.

Yes, Kitahara Natsuhiro saved Okino Yoko, so Kitahara Natsuhiro is Okino Yoko's savior.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro's rental of the first floor of Kogoro Mouri's house also used a signature from Okino Yoko.

"Wait, my savior?" Conan suddenly realized something and couldn't help but look at Ai Haibara standing to the side.

After all, with a savior and a handsome man and a beautiful woman, it's easy for the kind of things you read about in romance novels to happen.

Moreover, these things are not just fictional stories; they often happen in real life.

The common saying is that after a hero saves a damsel in distress, he will repay her with his body. If this is the case for ordinary people, then it is even more so for handsome men and beautiful women.

After all, men like beautiful women, and beautiful women like handsome men.

However, Conan couldn't discern anything from Ai Haibara's face, which left him somewhat disappointed.

Although he knew that the women around Kitahara Natsuyu were all quite devoted, and he even knew about the existence of other women, no woman left Kitahara Natsuyu's side.

This left him completely puzzled.

He asked his mother, but she wouldn't say anything, only telling him that he would know when he grew up.

grow up?

He's an adult now, okay?

These adults are so annoying, always leaving things unsaid, what kind of riddles are they!
Conan says Yukiko is a riddle person, but isn't Conan a riddle person himself?

Therefore, riddle makers hate riddle makers the most.

"Conan, what are you trying to say by looking at me like that? Or..." Ai noticed Conan's expression, squatted down, and ruffled his hair, "What are you trying to glean from my face? Just want to watch the show?"

She knew a little about Conan's thoughts.

After all, Conan knows quite a bit about Kitahara Natsuhiro's affairs; he's a womanizer with many women.

Now, Kitahara Natsuhiro is talking on the phone with another woman right in front of this woman, and they seem to be having a great time.

Ai Haibara should be angry, but she isn't angry at all, and even acts as if nothing happened.

This made Conan somewhat discouraged.

I can't see anything, it's so boring!

Upon hearing this, Conan's cheek twitched involuntarily, and he said in a childlike tone, "Ms. Haibara, what are you talking about? I have absolutely no idea, hehehehe."

Ai Haibara looked at Conan, who was pretending to be clueless, and shook her head: "Conan, your thoughts are written all over your face. You can't hide them from me at all."

"Alright, I won't say anything to you, but don't have this kind of thinking in the future."

"Because when you're ready to watch others make a fool of themselves, others are also ready to watch you make a fool of yourself, and the fooling around you might be even more interesting."

"."

Conan was a little confused by Ai Haibara's words and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's so interesting about me? I'm just a high school student."

He shook his head, no longer thinking about these things, and quietly approached Kitahara Natsuhiro, hoping to overhear something from Kitahara Natsuhiro's phone call.

He does this all the time; it's become a regular occurrence for him.

And he always succeeded in eavesdropping, and through this, he solved many cases, gradually making Kogoro Mouri the famous Sleeping Kogoro.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro is not as foolish as Kogoro Mouri.

Before Conan even walked over, Kitahara Natsuhiro turned to look at Conan, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

This made Conan put his left foot back, which he had just stepped out with, and he started to laugh foolishly while scratching the back of his head.

Ai Haibara, who was standing nearby, smiled when she saw this.

This kind of everyday life is really nice, I love it!
Not long after, Kitahara Natsuyu ended his call with Okino Yoko, hung up the phone, and immediately put his phone away.

After Kitahara Natsuyu hung up the phone, Haibara Ai walked up and asked directly, "What did that big star want when he called you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, is this something I can just ask directly?" Conan couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing Ai Haibara ask directly.

Although he knew that Kitahara Natsuyu had a good relationship with these women, was it something he could ask so casually?
Aren't you afraid the women will start fighting?
He has encountered many cases involving women.

"Don't get yourself into trouble," Conan thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu immediately said, "Yoko invited me to dinner to thank me for saving her life last time. Do you want to come along?"

He never hides such things.

After all, everyone knows his character, so there's nothing to hide; he can just say it openly.

Moreover, the more people there are, the more interesting it becomes.

"I'm not going." Ai shook her head directly and winked at Kitahara Natsuyu: "After all, this is a big star's invitation to you alone, so I'm not going. This is his thank-you banquet, so you don't want to miss it."

“Actually, it’s not just the two of us, there’s another person.” Kitahara Natsuyu scratched the back of his head.

"There's one more person?" Ai Haibara was taken aback.

Is Yoko Okino really that flashy?
“It’s a woman,” Kitahara Natsuhiro continued. “She’s a presenter on Nichiuri TV, the one who’s really popular lately, named Mizunashi Rena.”

"She and Yoko Okino are good friends."

Rena Mizunashi?

"I remember now, isn't that the host who often appears on the Nichiuri News? She's a real beauty." Conan said, "I didn't expect that she and Ms. Okino Yoko are good friends."

He knew about Rena Mizunashi.

However, this was all thanks to Kogoro Mouri, because every morning, Kogoro Mouri would watch the news on Nichiri TV.

Sometimes it's Rena Mizunashi who's the host, and that's combined with Rena Mizunashi's looks.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri really enjoyed watching it.

Of course, it wasn't because he was interested in the content of the news, but simply because he liked looking at beautiful women.

Since his divorce, Kogoro Mouri has become increasingly uninhibited, showing absolutely no restraint.

Xiaolan didn't say anything about this.

After all, they're divorced, why should she care so much?

Anyway, she's already a high school student. Even if her parents divorce and remarry, she's not afraid and won't starve.

it does not matter.

“Yes.” Kitahara Natsumi smiled. “I didn’t expect they actually knew each other.”

"Yoko is done with her work now, so she wanted to thank me and invited me to dinner, and also invited her good friend."

"And it was all at home, with Yoko cooking herself."

Yoko Okino's cooking skills are quite good; after all, Nichiri TV has a cooking show that lasts a few minutes.

And this program is none other than Yoko Okino's. "Cooking herself, huh?" Conan paused. "Taiba-sensei, you're really lucky. A big star cooking herself."

If Uncle Mori knew about this, he'd probably be incredibly envious!

Kogoro Mouri is a huge fan of Yoko Okino!

However, hosting Kitahara Natsuhiro at home was also a good choice for Yoko Okino.

After all, Yoko Okino is a popular idol now. If she goes out to eat, she is likely to be spotted, surrounded by onlookers, or even appear in the newspapers.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, hosting a banquet at home is the best choice.

“Yes,” Kitahara Natsumi said with a grin, “We’re neighbors.”

"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry back, the shop is quite busy right now."

Upon hearing this, Conan and Ai responded and followed Kitahara Natsuhiro's steps.

at the same time.

Rice Krispies Store.

At this moment, Yoko Okino and Rena Mizunashi are shopping in the mall.

However, Yoko Okino was still wearing a hat, a mask, and frameless glasses, completely armed.

It would be quite troublesome if she were recognized by other people.

I'll definitely be surrounded and chased by people, and I won't be able to enjoy shopping properly.

They also need to buy some ingredients for dinner here later.

"Yoko, is the person you just called the one who saved you last time?" Rena Mizunashi asked.

Yoko Okino had told her about this before, so she remembered it.

I heard that Yoko's savior is named Kitahara Natsuhiro, who was also a physical education teacher at Teitan Elementary School and now owns a restaurant and is quite wealthy.

Most importantly, Kitahara Natsuhiro is a handsome guy.

“Yes,” Yoko Okino said, “Last time was really dangerous. I was almost killed. Luckily, Xia Yu saved me, otherwise you wouldn’t be seeing me now.”

Recalling the last incident and Fujie Akiyoshi's ferocious gaze, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

After all, she never expected that the boy and girl from her high school days would want to kill her.

Fortunately, Kitahara Natsuyu was there; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to appear here.

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi said, "That's right, I never expected him to do that."

"But it's all in the past now, so don't dwell on it. He's been punished."

Yoko Okino smiled broadly as she listened to her friend's words of comfort: "Don't worry, I've long since stopped thinking about this."

"I'm running forward now, and I've completely forgotten about it."

"That's good." Rena Mizunashi said, "But wasn't this time you prepared to cook for Mr. Kitahara Natsuhiro to thank him? Why did you invite me along?"

Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino smiled and said, "Although Xia Yu is my savior, he is also my good friend, and you are also my good friend. Good friends should naturally be introduced to each other."

"Besides, Xia Yu is a teacher, and his colleagues at the school are all excellent and reliable men. Maybe he can introduce you to one or two."

"You're not young anymore, it's time to think about your future."

This time, Yoko Okino is prepared to act as a matchmaker.

However, instead of acting as a matchmaker between Kitahara Natsuyu and Mizunashi Rena, it was with the teachers at Kitahara Natsuyu's school.

Because she understood Rena Mizunashi's personality and knew what kind of man she wanted to find.

An honest man—that's exactly what Rena Mizunashi wants.

After all, Rena Mizunashi is a special agent, and special agents are very sensitive in certain aspects, so naturally they hope that the people around them are honest and law-abiding.

This is what Rena Mizunashi said to Yoko Okino before, and Yoko Okino has always kept it in mind.

The teaching positions are quite good; the jobs are stable and the pay is decent. Perhaps there will be one that suits Mizunashi Rena.

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi looked helpless: "Yoko, why are you starting to act as a matchmaker too?"

"I don't have any plans in that area right now, so don't waste your time on me."

She was an undercover CIA agent planted in a criminal organization, so it was impossible for her to date any man, let alone get married.

If she were to fall in love one day, both the Black Organization and the CIA would investigate the man to ensure he was innocent.

In an even more extreme scenario, they might kill the man.

Therefore, she doesn't want to cause anyone's death, so she doesn't plan to date.

Moreover, she won't fall in love until she's gotten her revenge.

She carries not only the mission of the CIA, but also the mission of her own father.

Her father had also infiltrated the CIA, but later died protecting her, or rather, she killed him.

Therefore, she was determined to avenge her father.

Before seeking revenge, she wouldn't touch upon matters of the heart or romantic relationships.

“What do you mean you don’t have that thought?” Yoko Okino continued, “You’re not young anymore, it’s time to find your other half. You don’t want to grow old alone, do you?”

At this time, there is a trend among both Japanese women and men.

The number of people choosing not to marry is increasing.

“Growing old alone might not be so bad,” Rena Mizunashi said with a smile. “Alright, I have my own plans, so don’t worry about them.”

"But what about you? Do you have any feelings for Kitahara Natsuyu?"

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked him to act as a go-between for me; you would have introduced this man to me directly.” Rena Mizunashi began to change the subject.

After all, the idea of ​​a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is never out of fashion.

"No way!" Yoko Okino said coquettishly, "He already has a girlfriend, a very classy person."

"That's why I didn't introduce it to you."

As she said this, a different kind of light flashed in her eyes.

In fact, she did have some feelings for Kitahara Natsuhiro.

After all, any woman would feel heartache if Kitahara Natsuhiro stepped forward during that crisis.

It was precisely because of this that Kitahara Natsuyu's image was imprinted in her heart, and she would find it hard to forget him anytime soon.

"Really?" Rena Mizunashi laughed.

"Really, stop teasing me. Let's go buy the ingredients!" Yoko Okino quickly said.

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi said, "Hahaha, it seems I was right."

"Reina"
