Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 106 The Mori Family's Best Romantic Talker
Suddenly, Xiaolan remembered the scene in the hotel room yesterday when the two of them were about to kiss, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Why is Huijie here with Ai?

Did I ruin Huijie's confession again?
I really want to know how things are going between them. But wouldn't it be inappropriate to ask directly?

While Ran was brainstorming, Conan also came out of the room. Looking at Ran standing at Ai's door, Conan asked with some confusion, "Ran-neechan, what are you doing standing here? Is there something you need to see Ai about?"

"Conan!" Ran once again dutifully acted as the doorman for Keisuke, and then said to Conan with a smile, "I'm here to thank Ai. Thanks to Ai's advice yesterday, Mom and Dad were finally able to get to the hotel together."

"It's just a pity that the result wasn't as satisfactory as expected. It's really strange, isn't it?"

"According to Ai, there should have been just enough room for each of us, but Sonoko's room wall was damaged. Logically, there should have been just enough room for my parents in the end."

"I thought this time we could get it done in one go and let them live together right away!"

Seeing Ran's disappointment, Conan's lips twitched. Ran was too naive. Even if there was only one room left, they would not stay together. There were many possible combinations for the rehearsal, and it was highly likely that Kogoro Mouri would come and stay with him.

But Ran's words reminded Conan. He looked at the room behind Ran. Someone hadn't been in their room yesterday. Who could it be? It's so hard to guess!
Thinking of the scene yesterday where Keisuke and Ai were showing off their affection in front of him, Conan smiled. He wasn't the kind of person who held grudges like Keisuke, so he said to Ran:
"I've got it! It must be Keisuke. He must be planning to live with Haibara, which is why there's an extra empty room! The answer must be hidden behind the door behind you, Ran-neechan!"

"How did you know?" Sonoko asked in confusion, while Makoto Kyogoku, standing beside her, looked at Conan with some surprise.

Conan noticed the gleam in Kyogoku Makoto's eyes and seemed to feel a strange pressure. So, in a childlike tone, he said, "I figured this out on my own using the detective knowledge I learned from Uncle Mori!"

Seeing Conan's childlike behavior, the others didn't take it to heart at all. Ran looked at the distance between Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto in surprise, and with a guess in her mind, asked uncertainly, "Sonoko, what's going on between you and Kyogoku?"

Sonoko smiled, a proud expression on her face. "Heh heh, after helping me change rooms last night, Makoto officially confessed to me, so now I have a boyfriend."

"Also, that kid wasn't wrong!"

"Ah Zhen has already told me everything. I came here so early just to wait for him to come out and see his expression!"

Looking at the spirited Sonoko, a hint of helplessness flashed in Makoto Kyogoku's eyes. Although they hadn't interacted much, he knew that Teruyuki wouldn't be emotionally affected by something like this.

Because even his overnight confession to Sonoko was the idea that Huijie gave him, and Huijie didn't hide anything about him changing rooms.

Instead, it was suggested that Makoto Kyogoku use this incident as an opening to start a conversation if he felt embarrassed or couldn't find a topic.

(Although Makoto Kyogoku ultimately chose to go straight to the point and didn't use it.)
In short, Huijie doesn't seem to care if others know about this; in fact, he might even want to tell others, as if he's asserting his ownership and showing off his girlfriend.

Just then, the door behind Xiaolan opened.
"Good morning, sister!" Huijie naturally took Ai's hand and calmly greeted Ran.

Ran greeted him instinctively, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she whispered to Keisuke, "Um, how are things going between you and Ai?"

"Sis, why have you become as gossipy as Sonoko?" Ran asked Keisuke with her hands clasped together and a smile, "Please, I really want to know!"

"Tsk, who are you gossiping about!" Sonoko, seeing Keisuke's calm expression, lost all her teasing interest and asked in confusion, "Now that your secret has been exposed, don't you have anything to say?"

After thinking for a moment, Teruyuki said to Sonoko, "How do you know Ai is my girlfriend?"

Upon hearing Huijie's words, Xiaolan excitedly clenched her fists and waved them up and down.

As expected of Teruyuki! I never imagined that Teruyuki would be the most romantic person in the Mori family right now.

Sonoko was stunned, not expecting Keisuke to say that. She shook her head and asked, "You brat, walking out of a girl's room in front of everyone, aren't you ashamed at all?"

Facing Sonoko's question, Teruyuki smiled with satisfaction and continued, seemingly unrelated, "How do you know that Ai and I made a secret promise that we're ready to spend our lives together?"

Sonoko stared wide-eyed at Teruyuki, gritting her teeth as she said, "Fine, fine, how about I give you a trophy?"

After hearing Sonoko's words, Teruyuki thought for a moment and nodded: "If it's going to be published in the newspaper, I hope Ai's photo won't be shown."

Hearing this, Sonoko rolled her eyes, laughed somewhat speechlessly, and then chuckled, "I, Sonoko, have a boyfriend now!"

Sonoko then gave Conan a mischievous look and said with a wicked grin, "Right now, you're the only single one among us, Conan!"

???

Conan stared at Sonoko in disbelief, a question mark slowly forming on his face.

Are you sober?
He probably looks like a first-grade elementary school student right now! You'd think he'd graduated from university and still didn't have a girlfriend!

Just as Conan was speechless, Kogoro Mouri's tired voice came, "What are you doing making so much noise in the hallway so early in the morning?"

Upon seeing Kogoro Mouri appear, Sonoko smiled and said, "How did you know I have a boyfriend now!"

As it turns out, silence is contagious. Kogoro Mouri looked at Sonoko with a slightly speechless expression, unsure of what to say.

Clearly, Sonoko was already enjoying the pleasure of having her posts read and then replied to by others, so during the rest of the breakfast, she kept telling everyone that she had a boyfriend.

As for why it happened during breakfast, it's because after breakfast, Sonoko received a phone call. The first thing she did when she answered was, "How did you know I have a boyfriend!"
