He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Ah, I see.

Ying Sheng rubbed his cheeks to restore his expression. "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will try my best. Alas, it seems that it is even more difficult now."

"Huh? Why?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

Chapter 15 Xiaolan earnestly analyzes her emotional problems

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

Ying Sheng spread his right index and middle fingers apart, pointed them at his eyes, and then pretended to poke Xiao Lan.

I see you.

Xiaolan blushed slightly, turned around and took a step, "Isn't Shuiyue-kun very good at it? Keep it up, I believe in you."

"Eh……"

Hotaru's lips twitched. "All talk and no action. Senior knows so much, yet he's still just like Kudo..."

"Hmph, don't change the subject."

"Then I'd better switch to another club, otherwise I'll definitely wither and die."

"Damn, I submitted Mizuki-kun's application to join the club at noon today. The clothes are already prepared. If I don't go... I'll be hunted down."

"How scary, but as long as I don't get slapped in the face, it's fine."

"..."

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

"Seriously, I've been scammed."

"Actually, I was just putting on a brave face."

"I'm very sorry, but Shinichi... Hmph, you know what? That guy just received love letters from other girls this morning, and he even brought them to the classroom."

"I heard it, it sounded like three letters."

Hotaru shrugged. "Kudo is handsome, intelligent, and athletic. He's also renowned nationwide for his deductive reasoning. He's truly outstanding, so it's perfectly normal for girls to pursue him. Does Mori-kun care about that...?"

"No way!" Xiaolan interrupted.

"Oh... but Kudo never keeps his promises after showing off, not even once. And he keeps sneaking peeks at you, isn't that obedient?"

"Hmph, it's his own fault for not wanting to keep the appointment, what does it have to do with me?"

"Tch, two damn tsundere types."

"No way," Ran pouted. "I've already invited Shinichi out on dates so many times. I can't possibly have to be the one to confess my feelings."

"Many times?" Ying Sheng asked, puzzled.

"Many times!"

"Are you sure it's just the two of you on a date?"

"Absolutely!"

"Hiss—is the environment not suitable? Too noisy and lacking privacy?"

"An aquarium and a movie theater, aren't they great places for a date? But...sigh..."

Xiaolan said helplessly, "There's always something unexpected happening. He's either late or leaves early. When I call him, he's always busy, saying he'll make it up to me next time, but it's always the same next time. Honestly, I'm almost used to it."

"..."

Ying Sheng was speechless: "It won't be a case every time, will it?"

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

"Is that so? That's truly admirable... Ahem! What I mean is, this is just too much! Kudo really needs to manage his time better!"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him. "Are all you guys like this?"

"Hmm... this question is rather profound and requires specific analysis. Let's discuss it in a meeting."

"Hum..."

Xiaolan clenched her fist, making a cracking sound, and a kind smile appeared on her lips. "Mizuki-kun, do you know that the first step in learning karate is to stretch your ligaments? The person who will assist you in your training later is me, your senior."

"hiss--"

Ying Sheng gasped and hurriedly said, "To be honest, compared to dating my girlfriend, helping the police solve a murder case is indeed more attractive and more important... well, from the perspective of overall social happiness."

Xiaolan's eyes dimmed slightly. "So, was I just too immature?"

"No, not really. From a personal perspective, it's understandable that you're unhappy that Kudo keeps standing you up."

"Oh... So you mean I'm too sentimental and petty, right?"

Ying Sheng pondered for two seconds and nodded slightly.

"Correct."

So the two fell silent, arrived at the karate club to register, received and changed into their karate uniforms, and found a spot in the corner of the gleaming wooden floor of the venue to warm up and stretch... The atmosphere was heavy from beginning to end.

The other club members, seeing the unprecedentedly cold-faced Xiaolan, exchanged bewildered glances and whispered amongst themselves about what had happened, not daring to approach her to speak.

"Ah! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

A scream suddenly rang out from a corner of the venue, and the other club members practicing froze in their tracks, turning to look...

Nani? !

Xiao Lan! She bent the newcomer into a split?!

It'll break, won't it?

The ligaments will definitely tear!

The male club members were sweating profusely. How could the angelic Ran have turned into this? This was definitely not practice; it was torture!

A cute, soft-spoken girl, pale-faced and with her lips tightly pressed together, walked towards a corner. "Lan Dian, I only joined the club because I admire you, please don't turn evil..."

"Pfft... You're going a bit too far with your acting, Mizuki-kun."

huh?

Everyone was taken aback, only to see Xiaolan regain her usual radiance, turning back to smile and saying, "Shuiyue-kun has a training background, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

Oh, I see. Then it's alright.

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

Ying Sheng's legs were pinned down in a split, and his hands trembled as he tried to support himself on the ground, but he was no match for the force on his shoulders and had to beg for mercy.

"Senior, I overdid it last night, and my leg muscles are sore. When you pull like this, I feel like my muscles are about to melt."

"Hmm? Didn't you stretch after your workout?" Xiaolan reduced the pressure slightly, but still couldn't get Yingsheng up.

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

"Oh..." Xiaolan pressed down heavily, "Don't worry, I have experience. As long as you persevere, 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 anything."

It's about to break!

"Then let's break it off first."

Ying Sheng's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth, "This kind of training is unscientific; it needs to be done gradually!"

"But this is how I've always trained."

"what?"

"Many people are like that. Even if they are exhausted, even if their muscles are torn, as long as they still have the determination to throw a punch, then keep going!"

Ying Sheng looked up blankly, "Are you serious?"

Xiaolan's gaze was resolute. "This is the power of will!"

"what?????"

Five minutes later, Ying Sheng collapsed onto the floor, trembling as she reached out and touched the inside of her thigh.

Ya Bai has become a lump of dead flesh, completely devoid of feeling.

A other hand suddenly shot out from the side and flicked his thigh.

"Ouch—it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Xiao Lan smiled gently, stepped down beside him, and handed him a bottle of green tea. "See? I wasn't lying to you."

Ying Sheng took the water, propped himself up slightly, and drank it in a second. A sweet, moist sensation soothed his dry throat, and a cool feeling swept through his burning chest. Only then did he let out a long breath.

"This doesn't make sense," he muttered.

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

"Alright, I admit I was ignorant." Ying Sheng smiled, slumped back to the ground, and tilted his head. "Have you figured it out? If you still want to settle personal scores, I'll have no choice but to run away."

Xiao Lan scoffed, "Do you think you can escape now?"

She took a sip of water, lay down on the floor, stared at the ceiling, and remained silent for a long time.

"you're right."

"Where is it correct?"

Chapter 16 Xiaolan is about to undergo a super evolution

Ran sighed softly, "I really didn't help Shinichi much, and sometimes I even held him back when he was solving cases."

Ying Sheng laughed, "It's not like I'll be dragging you down."
