Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 15 Xiaolan seriously analyzes her emotional problems

"I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."

Yingsheng separated the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pointed at his own eyes, and then poked at Xiaolan.

“I see you.”

Xiaolan's cheeks blushed slightly, and she turned around and took a step forward, "Sui Yue-kun, you are very good at it, come on, I am rooting for you."

"Eh……"

Yingsheng's mouth sank, "You are just talking on paper. Senior knows so much, isn't he also like Kudo..."

"Hmph, don't change the subject."

"Then I'd better change clubs, otherwise I will wither and die."

"Damei, I submitted Suigetsu-kun's application to join the club at noon today. The clothes are ready. If you don't go... you will be hunted down."

"It's scary, but as long as you don't hit me in the face, it's fine."

"..."

Xiaolan quickly glanced back and saw Yingsheng's slightly raised lips.

"Really? I got cheated."

"Actually, I'm just forcing a smile."

"I'm very sorry, but as for Shinichi... hum, you know, that guy just received a love letter from another girl this morning and brought it to the classroom."

"I heard it. I think there were three."

Hotaru shrugged. "Kudo is handsome, intelligent, good at sports, and famous throughout the country for his reasoning. He is indeed very good, so it is normal for girls to actively pursue him. Does Mori-kun care about this..."

"No way!" Xiaolan interrupted.

"Oh...but Kudo never showed up every time after showing off, and never replied to your letter. And he kept stealing glances at you. Isn't that nice of him?"

"Humph, he himself didn't want to go to the appointment, what does it have to do with me?"

"Tsk, two damn tsunderes."

"That's not right," Xiaolan pouted and said, "I've already invited Shinichi out on dates many times, so I don't have to take the initiative to confess my feelings."

"Many times?" Yingsheng wondered.

“Many times!”

"Are you sure this is a date just for the two of you?"

"Absolutely!"

"Hiss - is it because the environment is not suitable, too noisy, and there is no privacy?"

"Aren't aquariums and movie theaters good places for a date? It's just...ah..."

Xiaolan said helplessly: "Every time there is an accident, he is either late or leaves early. I call him, he is always busy, and says he will make it up to me next time, but it's the same thing next time. Really, I'm almost used to it."

"..."

Yingsheng was speechless: "It's not always a case, right?"

"That's right, except for the one time when he forgot the time while reading a mystery novel, all other times it was Inspector Megure who called him and asked him to come over to help with the investigation."

"Is that so? That's really admirable... ahem! What I mean is, this is too outrageous. Kudo should allocate his time better!"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Are all you boys like this?"

"Well... this question is quite profound and requires detailed analysis. We need to hold a meeting to discuss it."

"Hum..."

Xiaolan clenched her fist with one hand, making a creaking sound, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Mr. Shuiyue, do you know that the first step in learning karate is to open the ligaments? The person who will assist you in your practice later is me, your senior."

"hiss--"

Yingsheng took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "To be honest, compared to dating my girlfriend, helping the police solve a murder case is indeed more attractive and more important... um, from the perspective of the overall happiness of society."

Xiaolan's eyes dimmed a little, "So, am I too ignorant?"

"No, from a personal perspective, it's reasonable for you to be unhappy since Kudo has been neglecting you."

"Oh... So Shuiyue-kun is saying that I'm too sentimental and petty, right?"

Yingsheng thought for two seconds and nodded slightly.

"Yes." So the two of them remained silent and arrived at the karate club to report, received and changed into karate uniforms, found a place in the corner of the venue's shiny wooden floor, warmed up, stretched their ligaments... There was a low pressure from beginning to end.

When the other club members saw the cold-faced Xiaolan, they all looked at each other, secretly wondering what had happened, and did not dare to come over to say a word.

“Oh! I’m going to die!”

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the corner of the venue. The other members who were practicing froze and looked sideways...

Nani? !
Xiaolan! She bent the newcomer into a split position?!
It will break!
The ligament will definitely break!

The male members were sweating profusely. How could Xiaolan, who used to be an angel, become like this? This was definitely not a practice, it was a lynching!

A cute girl looked pale, pursed her lips, and walked to the corner. "Lan Dian, I joined the club because I admire you. Please don't turn evil..."

"Puchi... You're overdoing it, Mizuki-kun."

huh?

Everyone was stunned, and then they saw Xiaolan regain her former glory, looking back and smiling: "Suiyue-kun has a training foundation, so don't worry."

Oh, so that’s how it is. That’s okay then.

"Something's going on! Something's going on!"

Yingsheng's legs were forced into a split position, with his hands trembling as he supported himself on the ground, but he was unable to resist the force on his shoulders and had to beg for mercy.

"Senior, I worked out too hard last night and my leg muscles are sore. When you pull me like this, I feel like my muscles are about to melt."

"Huh? Didn't you stretch after your exercise?" Xiaolan reduced the force slightly, but still didn't make Ying come alive.

"I usually stretch, but I was too tired last night."

“Oh…” Xiaolan pressed hard, “Don’t worry, I have experience. As long as you stick to it, even your muscles won’t hurt anymore, and the training effect will be even better.”

"Ah—it's broken! It's broken!"

"I didn't hear any sound."

"It's going to break soon!"

"Then let's break it off first."

Yingsheng's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth, "This kind of exercise is unscientific, we need to do it step by step!"

“But I’ve always trained like this.”

"what?"

“Many people are like this. Even if they are exhausted or their muscles are torn, as long as they still have the determination to punch, they will keep going!”

Yingsheng looked up blankly, "Are you serious?"

Xiaolan's eyes were firm, "This is the power of will!"

"what?????"

Five minutes later, Yingsheng collapsed on the floor, reached out his hand tremblingly, and touched the inside of his thigh.

The white teeth have become a piece of dead flesh and are completely unconscious.

Another hand suddenly stretched out from the side and flicked his thigh.

“Hiss—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Xiaolan smiled gently, walked down beside him, and handed him a bottle of green tea, "How is it, I didn't lie to you."

Yingsheng took the water, propped up his upper body slightly, and started drinking it in a second. A hint of sweetness moistened his dry throat, and a hint of coolness passed through his burning chest. Then he let out a long breath.

"This is unscientific," he muttered.

"The human body is amazing." Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Well, I am short-sighted." Yingsheng smiled, collapsed on the ground again, and tilted his head, "Have you figured it out? If you want to take revenge again, I will have to run away."

Xiaolan snorted, "Can you escape now?"

She took a sip of water, lay on the floor, looked at the ceiling, and was silent for a long time.

"you're right."

"What's right?"
