Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 142 This is the real Bei Jie! (Eating +1)

Vermouth knew very well that the warmth and comfort she felt now was only temporary.

How could she, a dark creature whose true face had never been revealed to anyone, be qualified to touch the light?
Vermouth knew about this kind of thing from the beginning, and her original thought was just to watch the beauty over there from afar.

Now, due to some strange coincidences, I have become the person at the center of an emotional whirlpool.

But, let’s stop here.

A reassuring day spent with Cool Guy was enough.

How could one ask for more?

Seeing the resolute look in Vermouth's bright eyes, Suzuki Sonoko was gradually moved. She held Vermouth's hand tightly and said with a sob:
"Good sisters!"

"..."

Vermouth smiled politely: "So Sonoko, what do you think I should do?"

"Of course! Yes..."

Sonoko was about to say "leave", but she paused, thinking back to what Xiaolan said to her last night: Xuesong Kiyoko probably really loves Kudo Shinichi...

She hesitated for two seconds: "Can I ask why? What do you think of Shinichi?"

"He's a very nice guy."

Vermouth's gaze was far-reaching, as if she saw New York a year ago, when she was disguised as a silver-haired killer and accidentally fell from a building. At the critical moment, she was saved by two high school students who had just been threatened by her with guns.

What did he say then?
——Killing someone may require a motive, but saving someone in an emergency does not require a reason.

She will remember these words forever.

The tenderness in Vermouth's eyes was clearly reflected in Sonoko's eyes, making her realize in a trance that what Xiaolan said last night was true.

So what is she doing now?
As an inexplicably vicious passerby, are you trying to break up the couple?

Yuanzi suddenly felt a little uneasy, but at this time, Vermouth finally smiled faintly:
"He's nice, but we're not a good match."

Yuanzi felt relieved and asked immediately:
"why?"

"There's no reason why we're not compatible."

"But the way you get along with him..." Sonoko gritted her teeth, "Ran and Mizuki Hotaru both said that you get along very well, and that you two are attracted to each other and are a perfect match!"

At this moment, Sonoko almost abandoned her original position.

After all, her previous analysis of Xiaolan's mentality...

After all, the look in Vermouth's eyes just now...

She felt that she had to speak out!

"Puch-"

Vermouth covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who had a nervous look on her face and probably didn't even know what answer she wanted, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Young high school students are really cute.

This smile is completely different from Xuesong Qingzi's own cold temperament. There is no difference between them. But the graceful eyebrows and eyes add a touch of charm of a royal sister.

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned.

She was a little embarrassed and angry a second ago, but she was serious and asked, "You should be serious!"

The next second, I felt that the person in front of me suddenly changed.

The facial features and eyebrows are clearly the same as before, but the temperament is completely different.

This change in temperament...

Suzuki Sonoko felt strangely familiar. She subconsciously thought that she would not be able to remember it for a while, and was about to put the doubt behind her, but in almost an instant, she knew where she had seen such a change before.

Water, moon, fireflies are born!

In Suzuki Sonoko's eyes, the image of Yuzuki Kiyoko suddenly overlapped with that of Mizuki Hotaru.

What these two people showed to others was not their complete self, but just...

Through the Looking Glass!

In an instant, Suzuki Sonoko's body suddenly became stiff, and Vermouth, who was holding her hand, naturally felt it first.

"Oh, have you realized it?"

Vermouth smiled playfully: "It seems that you are very familiar with this feeling. Considering that you called Mizuki a scumbag before, how come you have dated her?"

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were filled with shock, and she didn't say a word, but Vermouth...

He gently scratched the palm of her hand.

"ah!"

Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed, quickly retracted her hand, her face turned red, and then gradually turned into fear:

"You... Qingzi, you... actually..."

"Yes, I am actually a bad person."

Vermouth interrupted the stammering of the young high school student: "Kudou-kun, Xiaolan, and Mizuki-san all know about this, and for someone like me, they still think that I am sincere to Kudou-kun, which is really a great honor for them."

Suzuki Sonoko gritted her teeth and said, "So, you are actually pretending just like that guy Mizuki Hotoshii?"

"Who knows? Weren't you also hesitant about the relationship between Mizuki and Xiaolan?" Vermouth smiled and said, "Anyway, I think what you said before makes sense.

Kudo-kun is nice, but he and I are not suitable;
Xiaolan is nice, but Suigetsu-san is not a good match for her;
In my opinion, Kudo-kun and Xiaolan are the most suitable for each other, and Mizuki-san and I... well, we seem to be of the same kind. Maybe we will try to get in touch with each other later, and maybe we will be very compatible. "

"!!!"

Suzuki Sonoko was shocked, her body kept shrinking back, and the chair creaked.

She was a pure high school girl who just wanted to have a sweet love. She had been heartbroken by Mizuki Hotaru before, and now the same thing happened again in Vermouth, which was even more exciting...

She had never seen such a scene before!

She wanted to yell out loudly: What do you guys think of feelings? Are you playing permutations and combinations here?!
But I dare not.

Seeing Vermouth's charming eyes that revealed all kinds of charm, she became a little worried. This guy might kill both men and women. She had to stay away from him!
"Don't worry, my little cutie. Sister is not interested in you for the time being." Vermouth said softly.

"!!!!!!"

Suzuki Sonoko jumped up, her eyes full of fear, and she was about to shout for help.

The attention of other people in the store was also drawn to it. The most active one was naturally the golden-haired, dark-skinned waiter, who quickly walked over there.

Toru Amuro had been walking around in the store before, listening to the intermittent conversation between Vermouth and Suzuki Sonoko, and had long wanted to get closer to them.

He observed that Suzuki Sonoko had been secretly looking at him, maybe she had a certain face-obsession attribute. Now he went over to ask if she needed help and show some concern. Maybe he could leave her contact information so that he could investigate Yuzuki Kiyoko through her in a tactful way!

however,
Things seemed to be going even more smoothly than he had imagined.

Just as Toru Amuro walked in front of Suzuki Sonoko and hadn't spoken yet, he heard two "clicks".

He looked back and saw Xuesong Qingzi's pink-glowing nails tapping lightly on the table.

Vermouth supported her cheek with her right hand, tilted her head and looked at Amuro Toru, with a playful smile on her lips:
"Sir, have you been peeking at me before?"

"!!!"
