Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 127 Xiaolan feels like a fool

Kudo Shinichi who was beside him did the same as before, running away excitedly when he heard about the case.

Looking at the shopping bag that was forced into her hands, Vermouth looked quite helpless, but when she raised her head and looked at his back, her eyes were full of doting.

The demeanor of our own Cool Guy when solving a case is indeed quite delicious.

Spending the whole afternoon with Kudo Shinichi made Vermouth feel relaxed both physically and mentally. If she hadn't run into the Miyano sisters, she would have completely forgotten the existence of the organization.

People live for what?
This question is very complicated, but when Vermouth followed Kudo Shinichi's back into the sushi restaurant, she had only one thought in her mind.

It would be nice if Angel was here too.

It was just a fleeting thought that faded in an instant, allowing her to focus entirely on the beauty before her.

But the next second,
She felt that she was blessed by God.

The long-awaited figure suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Xiaolan?"

When Vermouth first spoke, there was a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

But she came to her senses immediately, suppressed the endless joy that kept surging in her heart, and walked towards that direction at a slightly faster pace than usual.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi was concentrating on the case and had no time to take care of her side;
Moreover, this was an encounter determined by fate, and she did not violate the ban that Kudo Shinichi had said during the day.

As long as the first conversation goes smoothly, it will be natural for us to become friends later given Angel's enthusiasm and kindness.

By then, she will be truly complete!
"Xuesong-san, aren't you going to help Kudo?"

Yingsheng stepped forward half a body and spoke with a smile.

The identity and purpose of Liu'er Macaque are unknown. Before obtaining at least some key intelligence, he just wants to keep a certain distance from this guy.

It's not that we have to stay away from them as if they were snakes or scorpions, but the situation they were in at school today was just right, so why should there be any fluctuations?
Vermouth paused slightly, and her gaze, which had been focused on Angel, gradually diverged, and she noticed the human-shaped barrier that had opened.

Damn!

It’s that scum Shuiyue Yingsheng!
He and Angel would practice karate together after class in the afternoon, and Vermouth knew that, but this was a restaurant, a sushi restaurant!

Is this guy dining here with Angel?

Damn it! ! !
The thoughts in her mind lasted only a moment. Although she was very dissatisfied with the shameless person like Shuiyue Yingsheng approaching Angel, Vermouth was an old actor after all. She smiled without showing any emotion:
"Kudou-kun is very capable, there's no need to..."

"Kiyoko-kun! Please come here!"

A shout of excitement came from the back of the restaurant, interrupting Vermouth's words. Yingsheng looked over there and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"That's the crime scene. Kudo let you go there before the police arrived. That shows his trust in you."

It was a pleasure to be trusted by Cool Guy, but when Vermouth's eyes bypassed the humanoid obstacle and fell on Angel behind her, she felt a little confused for a moment.

Angel lowered his head and didn't look at her.

Oops.

If you look at it from a bystander's perspective, she is actually in a rather embarrassing position.

Vermouth opened her mouth to say something, but for a moment she was unable to form any words.

And when she caught a glimpse of Mizuki Hotosuke looking curiously at the back of the restaurant, she immediately realized that she was in a state of being needed by someone.

Without much hesitation, Vermouth just nodded apologetically to the two men and turned and left.

Looking at her hurried steps with a hint of expectation, Yingsheng was really stunned. What exactly did this six-eared macaque want to achieve by replacing Qingzi's identity?
Now looking at it, it can't be that she was just trying to fall in love with Kudo Shinichi, right?

He turned and looked at Xiaolan.

If I were to date Kudo, wouldn't this guy have a higher initial favorability?

Xiaolan also looked up at this time, looking at Vermouth's back with a complicated look in her eyes. She caught a glimpse of Yingsheng looking at her, thinking that he was going to say something comforting, so she spoke first:
“She does it better than I do.”

"Oh……"

Yingsheng nodded thoughtfully. Could it be that because Liu'er Macaque couldn't imitate Xiaolan's fighting ability, so he chose other people?

It is also worth noting that Kudo and Xiaolan are childhood sweethearts. They know each other too well, and if they rashly replace someone else, they might be discovered. Of course, it is not as convenient as replacing someone who falls from the sky.

That's not right.

For Kudo, Sekimatsu Kiyoko was a person he had never met before, a person sent from the sky; then wasn’t the six-eared macaque, who was even more unfamiliar to Kudo, also a person sent from the sky?
Why didn’t Liu’er Mihou just appear in his true form?

It is reasonable to speculate that her true identity is at least at the level of a mature lady. She cannot enter the school as a transfer student on her own. However, she wants to spend more time with Kudo, who is still a high school student, and her student identity is essential, so she disguises herself.

Why is it Kiyoko Seido?
The transfer student has simple interpersonal relationships and a miserable life story that makes him pitiful. He just happens to be noticed by Kudo Shinichi because of the case, and the most crucial point is,
Very beautiful!
Taking all the factors into consideration, it seems that Qingzi is an inevitable choice.

Thinking of this, Yingsheng was suddenly speechless. If Liu'er Macaque really came for Kudo, then Kiyoko really suffered an unprovoked disaster.

"Sorry, Ran, just thought of something weird."

Yingsheng came back to his senses and looked at Xiaolan, who was in a rather strange state and seemed a little light-headed:

"When Kudo came in, he was too focused on the case and didn't pay attention to the surroundings. If you want to leave..."

"That's not the case!"

Xiaolan, who was supported by a cloud of strange emotions, finally stood back on the ground. She pursed her lips and raised her hand to hold Yingsheng's hand...

was avoided.

Yingsheng shrugged: "I'm not bored enough to play this kind of trick with you. You also need to cool down."

He walked out from behind the screen and towards the Miyano sisters who were still sitting in their original seats. "This murder was unfortunate, but it unexpectedly had the effect of breaking the ice. The two people over there finally ended their silence and started talking."

No one followed behind him, Yingsheng turned around and said, "Aren't you curious about the result? They just finished their conversation, the timing is perfect, if it's any later they will all calm down."

Xiaolan stared at him without saying a word.

Yingsheng frowned: "I say, has everything I've done these days been in vain? Can't you live without the gaze of a man? The facts are clearly not like that at all, why are you acting so coy?"

"???"

Xiaolan was stunned on the spot with all kinds of complicated emotions surging in her heart. She never expected Yingsheng to say these words.

Yingsheng smiled slightly: "I like you much better this way, but remember, this is just my subjective feeling, you can do whatever you want."

"…………"

Xiaolan suddenly realized that she was probably really a fool.

She looked far away, at the Miyano sisters who were eating quietly, her eyes gradually calmed down, and asked:

"What do you want to do?"
