Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 14 Xiaolan's Love Guidance

"You don't want to be my matchmaker, do you? Forget about that."

The road from the classroom to the karate club was really long, and Yingsheng was feeling a little exhausted.

"What is Mizuki-kun's view on love?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"True love, absolutely true love."

"Eh……"

"I'm serious. This is related to my life. Long-term and stable life are my core pursuits. It would be best if it lasts until the end of my life."

Xiaolan seemed to understand, and smiled after a while, "Suiyue-kun, do you want to date with the purpose of getting married? This is inconsistent with your love of cherry blossoms."

"After all, it's just a hope. Whether or not we can get it is still unclear... By the way." Yingsheng smiled and said, "Ivy, if we replace the cherry blossoms with ivy, it will be just right."

"Puff... I understand."

Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a sly smile, "So Shuiyue-kun is also very conflicted, right? Occasionally, you still look forward to some more brilliant blooms."

"Well, just think of it as my teenage hormones. But I still know what's important."

If the relationship is too dull and only a little love keeps him going every day, Yingsheng will be very distressed.

It's not just that unlocking new skills is a long way off, but it would be boring.

But if there is not even a bottom line, how can we talk about pursuing higher goals?

At this stage, Hotaru actually wants to find a girlfriend of the Yamato Nadeshiko type, and then... quietly test her to see if she can develop into a scumbag.

Unfortunately, he estimated that it was not feasible.

After all, his experience in Kabukicho in Shinjuku on the first day he traveled through time taught him a lesson.

Ah...it's really confusing.

Although he is still single now, he seems to be overly self-conscious and thinks too much.

Maybe no one will be sincere to him?
"Well, this won't do."

"what?"

Yingsheng looked up in surprise and saw Xiaolan with her hands on her hips, looking at him seriously.

"Since Shuiyue-kun wants to fall in love, you should show your strength. I just thought carefully, although my presence has caused trouble for Shuiyue-kun to approach other girls, in fact, you have never taken the initiative."

"Forehead……"

Yingsheng scratched his head, "I'm not very good at actively chatting up girls."

No, he was actually pretty good at it.

But if "true love" is taken as the premise, he doesn't know what to do.

In his past and present lives, he only has one case, Qingzi. If he uses her as a template... it seems that the most crucial premise is mutual attraction.

Then aren’t all those methods just a burden?

If he could gain the love of others with these appearances, he would not have been on the verge of death on the first day after traveling through time, and he would have debuted as an idol on the second day.

"Even if I don't initiate a conversation, there's something wrong with Suigetsu-kun's usual behavior."

"How to say?"

"Suiyue-kun is always well organized in everything he does and is always polite to his classmates..."

"Wait a minute, isn't this good?"

"No, it's just...

Shuiyuejun gives people the feeling of a well-educated nobleman. It's beautiful, but it makes people feel distant and like they are not in the same world. Even if a girl likes you, she knows she will definitely be rejected, so she dare not come over to express it. "

Xiaolan tapped her chin and thought for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes, it's just too abstinent!"

Abstinence or something...

Yingsheng thought, "Is there a mirror?"

Xiaolan rummaged through her handbag and handed Yingsheng a small red makeup mirror.

"Suizuki-kun has a very good appearance and great skin, but the feeling I'm talking about is not just because of his appearance, but mainly because of his temperament. No matter what he does, Suizuki-kun is always calm, as if he has experienced a lot of things."

"That just shows that I'm very good at pretending. I'll try to correct it later."

Yingsheng felt a little helpless. It was impossible to make him believe from the bottom of his heart that Japanese high school life was interesting.

In comparison, last night’s organization was more interesting, and I don’t know when we will have contact again.

Be careful from now on. Yingsheng opened the makeup mirror and saw a photo of a family of three below. The boy was handsome and the girl was pretty. The cute little girl in the middle was probably only six or seven years old.

His eyes turned away as soon as they were touched, and Yingsheng looked in the mirror and pointed at his flawless right face.

"How about making a cut here?"

"Hmm... a waste of natural resources."

“Will it make people feel more intimate?”

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless. She grabbed Yingsheng's hand and moved the makeup mirror further away.

"What do you see?"

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "A stinky skin?"

"I've already told you that it's because of your temperament, Shuiyue-kun. If you make a scar that doesn't affect your overall appearance, it will probably only make people think that you come from a martial arts family, which will make people feel that strangers are not allowed to enter... No, what on earth am I thinking?"

Xiaolan sighed and took back the makeup mirror.

"Mr. Shuiyue, you have such a weird idea. I've been infected by it. In case you really do something stupid, I'd like to make it clear in advance that it will be absolutely useless."

"Oh."

Yingsheng's tone dropped, "So may I ask, Senior, what should I do?"

"Ahem," Xiaolan cleared her throat and said with a straight face, "Of course I will change myself."

“So how do we change that?”

"Hmm... Suigetsu-kun, do you have a feeling that there is someone you feel most relaxed and at ease with? Try to get closer to that state in your daily life, and you will definitely feel relaxed."

"The most casual state..."

Yingsheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan was slightly stunned, "Have you thought about it?"

"I guess I thought of it."

"Who?"

Yingsheng blinked and said, "Guess."

"..."

Xiaolan looked back and saw silence. There was no one else around, so she could only hold her forehead in her hand helplessly.

"It can't be me, right?"

Yingsheng sighed, "Of course not. By the way, where is your home?"

“Don’t hang yourself in front of my house!”

"Pfft! What's going on?" Yingsheng couldn't help laughing, "Where did you hear this joke? Nakamichi told me this in the last class."

"Hehe, Sonoko told me that she also often visits forums..." Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she opened the makeup mirror and placed it in front of Yingsheng.

"Look, Mizuki-kun!"

"what?"

Yingsheng focused his gaze. The person in the mirror had not yet completely lost his smile, and there was a gentle ripple in his calm eyes.

That is……

"The ice and snow have melted."

Xiaolan smiled gently, like the warm breeze of spring.

"Suiyue-kun, this is the first time I've seen you smile like this. It's ten thousand times more beautiful than the usual polite smile. As long as you work hard in this direction, you will definitely be able to change yourself and get the love you most desire."

Yearning...

Ah, so that's how it is.

Yingsheng rubbed his cheeks to restore his expression to normal, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will try my best. But unfortunately, it seems to be more difficult."

"Huh? Why?"

"Haha, what do you think?"
