Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 43 The relationship between Red and Black becomes strange
Five minutes later, Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting in front of the window with a dazed look on his face, saw Miyano Shiho walking out from behind the screen carrying two stacks of tempura, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

What a kind person.

And when he saw Xiaolan and Hotaru walking side by side after Miyano Shiho...

buzzing-

The brain's CPU is directly overloaded!
The energy supply was insufficient and the heat dissipation efficiency was low. Kudo Shinichi's mind went blank. With a click, he fainted directly on the chair. When he woke up again after an unknown amount of time, the first sentence he heard was:

"I told you hypoglycemia is common. Don't worry, Xiaolan. Kudo is in better physical condition than me and will wake up soon."

My eyelids twitched slightly. What nonsense is Shuiyue saying?

"Look, he's awake. Don't open your eyes so quickly, Kudo. You have some candy in your mouth. Hold it for a while. Don't think about the case right now. Breathe steadily and count to one, two, three, four, five."

After a few minutes, Kudo Shinichi finally slowly opened his eyes. Under the wooden ceiling, there were two girls on his left and right with concerned expressions.

However, the person on the left only flashed by, and for a moment, Kudo Shinichi thought he had seen it wrong.

He is indeed a very kind person, even though this is just the first time we met.

"Shinichi, are you okay?" Xiaolan asked with concern.

"..."

Kudo Shinichi really didn't know how to respond to this. He shook his head slightly with effort. His palm touched something soft and layered. He tried to lift his upper body with a little force... "Hiss, hiss, hiss--it hurts!"

"Don't move, there are roses with thorns under you." Miyano Shiho reminded calmly.

So that's how it is... Kudo Shinichi smiled bitterly, thinking that he might have just fallen off the chair, and he didn't know if his back would be riddled with holes.

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you."

"It's nothing, just take a look."

"Aren't the roses in flower shops usually trimmed of their thorns?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"We went to the flower garden to pick them this morning. Your Shuiyue Jun said that roses are only beautiful if they have thorns. I agree with that."

"..."

"..."

Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi were both speechless. What do you mean by "my/Xiaolan's Mizuki-kun"?
Miyano Shiho looked at the change in Xiaolan's eyes, confused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Sorry, he didn't have any other intention when he gave me the rose. He just happened to chat about this and he was in a good mood. He said it was just for the sake of beauty."

"..."

"..."

Xiaolan and the other person were speechless again. Was there any misunderstanding? There was no need to explain this to her.

Moreover, Xiaolan looked at the roses that filled the entire room and couldn't help muttering in her heart: It's indeed Mizuki-kun's scumbag style, he is best at coaxing girls.

"mistake."

A light laugh came from behind the screen. They looked up and saw a man in a white sweatshirt, with a face as bright as the sun, walking towards them with a food box.

"Ms. Shiho is my superior, so I am undoubtedly trying to flatter her, but it seems to have had little effect."

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk.

Yingsheng placed the food box on the low table and opened the first layer. It was just a bowl of white porridge. He took it out and handed it to Xiaolan: "This will raise blood sugar quickly. You can feed it to Kudo."

"no, I'm fine!"

Kudo Shinichi's face flushed, and he straightened his upper body without using his hands. He took the porridge from Yingsheng's hand and took a sip without even using a spoon.

"I can do it myself!"

Yingsheng was speechless and continued to place the side dishes under the food box: "Slow down, be careful of the heat."

"It's okay. You should have been immersed in cold water just now. How long was I unconscious?" "About ten minutes?"

Hotaru glanced at Kudo Shinichi's neck, which was covered in blood spots, but none of them were very deep. "Ms. Shiho, do you need any vaccinations for being pricked by a rose?"

"No need, hiss——"

Kudo Shinichi cut off his mouth again, and only then did he feel the pain on his neck. He gritted his teeth and said, "Rose thorns are not toxic. This small wound will scab over quickly."

"What if pesticides were used in the flower garden?"

"Uh...then..."

"I'm kidding, it's all natural. Come and eat."

Yingsheng picked up a long wooden ruler from the table, stretched it to Kudo Shinichi's feet, and swept the roses to both sides. Kudo Shinichi looked at the rich side dishes on the table, braised beef, chicken wings, fried skewers, three fresh delicacies, meatballs... His stomach growled and he hurried over.

"Didn't they say that there was only rice and tempura for lunch?"

"Add more money."

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless, remembering what Hotaru had said before. While eating heartily, he asked curiously, "Did you find a part-time job outside of school?" And this Miss Shiho looked to be the same age as them, yet she had become Mizuki's superior.

"It's not me who looks for part-time jobs, it's the part-time jobs that look for me."

Yingsheng said helplessly: "My parents used to work in a pharmaceutical research institute. They left half a month ago saying they were going on a long business trip. A few days ago, someone from that institute found me and said my parents stole a new drug they developed and might have used it on me, so they asked me to cooperate with their research."

Kudo Shinichi was stunned: "You... agreed?"

"Well, of course I refused to agree, but two guys who were obviously not good people stood there and insisted on drawing a tube of blood from me. What could I do? I could only give full play to the spirit of Ah Q. I was lucky that they didn't just take me back and use me as a guinea pig."

"This……"

Kudo Shinichi didn't know what to say, so he turned his head to look at Miyano Shiho, who said coldly, "Most of it is true." So Kudo Shinichi quickly moved his butt away from her and said righteously:

"Human experimentation is illegal!"

Miyano Shiho raised her eyebrows: "He volunteered."

"That was volunteered!"

"..."

Miyano Shiho was too lazy to tell him, and she didn't really know what happened that night. She was quite surprised that the cold-blooded Gin only brought back a tube of blood sample instead of directly kidnapping the person.

But now it seems that Mizuki Hotaru was very aware of the times and decisively joined the organization.

Alas, judging by what he said to the organization, he probably has no idea what the truth of the matter is.

The organization is truly guilty of a heinous crime by dragging another innocent person into the water.

But, what right did she have to say such things when she was in the dark?

She looked at Yingsheng: "The person you are waiting for is here. When are we going to the training base?"

"It depends on your arrangement. Don't you still need to see your sister?"

"That's obviously just an excuse. I don't want my sister to get involved in this kind of thing." She took the handbag from the flowers, stood up and walked out, "Let's solve it early, so you still have time to go on a date."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Kudo Shinichi almost choked to death. His eyes kept wandering between Xiaolan and Hotaru. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out for a long time.

Yingsheng shrugged: "She just misunderstood."
