Seeing the way Sonoko was looking at her, Ran nodded gently: "Yeah, and it seems like they're still living together."
Upon hearing this, Sonoko's remaining hope was instantly shattered.
Well, another handsome guy who's already taken is definitely here.
They even said they seemed to be living together, but the way they came out at the same time, it hardly seems like they were living together!
Just as Sonoko was grumbling indignantly, Narishiki and Yukinoshita arrived.
Seeing this, Xiaolan smiled and greeted them: "Uncle, Yukino, good morning!"
Yukino smiled and nodded: "Good morning, Ran."
"Good morning."
No, it's not good at all.
The song "Going Home" playing in my head is too noisy.
Then, he looked to the side and asked, "Who is this?"
"Oh, her name is Sonoko Suzuki, and she's my good friend."
Upon hearing Xiaolan introduce herself, Yuanzi quickly smiled and greeted Chengshi.
"Hello."
"Ah, hello, hello."
Because of their unfamiliarity, Cheng Shi unconsciously adopted the tone of a leader inspecting a rural area when he answered.
Hmm, something feels off.
Then, Ran introduced Yukino to Yukinoshita in the same way.
However, the same story repeated itself.
Seeing that the man and woman had the same tone and expression, Sonoko suddenly found it amusing.
At the same time, they trusted Xiaolan's explanation even more.
These similar habits don't seem like something that can be developed overnight, do they?
At this moment, Xiaolan spoke again, a slightly mocking expression on her face.
"Uncle, why are you here so early? We were planning to pick up Yukino first before coming to get you."
Hmph ()/
And you even said they were just visiting your house to see your cats! Let's see how you make up that story now.
Cheng Shi silently revealed a dead fish-like expression: "So, have you been to my house?"
"Yes, I saw it." Xiaolan nodded firmly: "There are piles of building materials in that yard over there!"
"Because it's under renovation!"
"Eh?"
"So your uncle came here because he had nowhere to stay!"
"Huh?" Ran asked blankly, "So, Uncle, you and Yukino aren't living together?"
"Oh, no, this counts as cohabitation, right?"
Xiao Lan tilted her head and blinked: "Does it...do it count?"
Cheng Shi squinted: "I guess so?"
Sonoko, standing to the side, was speechless: These two are definitely related by blood, no doubt about it!
Meanwhile, Yukinoshita, blushing, interrupted their conversation.
"It's only temporary. He'll move back to his house once the renovations are finished!"
“Yes,” Cheng Shi nodded in agreement, “That’s true.”
Garden: ()
Is this handsome guy stupid?
Shouldn't we just keep quiet or change the subject at this point?
How did you admit it?
Xiao Lan was speechless at this.
Seeing that the two people opposite her didn't react at all and seemed to think that this was a normal thing, she decided to take the initiative to change the subject.
"Well, let's get in the car first and talk. It's quite cold outside."
Everyone agreed.
"Click——"
As the car door opened, Cheng Shi was slightly taken aback.
There seemed to be someone in the car who shouldn't be there at this time.
Ai Haibara.
Seeing him suddenly stop, Xiaolan realized that there was another child she had forgotten to introduce.
"Oh right, Uncle, I forgot to tell you, this is Ai. She's a distant relative of the professor, and she's coming to visit us today."
"Oh, oh," Cheng Shi nodded, "Hello."
Ai Haibara stared intently at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Finally, she nodded slightly to him and whispered, "Hello."
Cheng Shi could naturally see the other party's hesitant purpose, but now was not the time.
So after saying hello, he left.
Then she let Yukino sit down first and closed the door.
Upon seeing this scene, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but smile slightly.
Not bad, kid, you've become a gentleman.
Xiao Lan, who was outside, couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile upon seeing this.
As for why it's mysterious?
Because Cheng Shi didn't understand it.
Then, Cheng Shi turned around, opened the passenger door, sat down, and casually lifted Conan onto his lap.
"Huh?" Ran and Conan were both dumbfounded.
No, what happened?
Shouldn't you be sitting in the back?
In response, Cheng Shi poked his head out of the car and said to Xiao Lan outside, "Isn't Uncle just trying to reconnect with Yukinoshita after so long apart?"
"It's okay, just say so next time."
Clearly, Cheng Shi misinterpreted the meaning of Xiao Lan's smile.
Xiaolan was speechless upon hearing this.
Shouldn't it be the two of you who are cultivating your relationship?!
Although she really wanted to say it out loud, she kept quiet after thinking it over carefully.
As someone who is frequently the subject of jokes, she knows all too well how that feeling is.
Okay, let's go.
The long journey has begun.
On the way, Ran asked Sonoko when she would learn magic.
Sonoko chuckled: "Watch closely."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and a red string and began her performance.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi immediately lost interest.
Although some of the god-level magic I obtained this morning was useless, it's still god-level at least.
Therefore, in his opinion, magic tricks that even Conan could see through at a glance were basically useless.
Chapter 200 Doi Tucker Tree
Soon, Sonoko's magic trick was over.
Xiao Lan was very surprised when she saw it, and immediately gave the performer the desired feeling of surprise.
"Wow, that's amazing! Sonoko, how did you do that?"
"Hmph!" Sonoko held up a finger and shook it: "I can't tell you yet~ because I'm going to perform in front of everyone next."
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Ran nodded: "That's great, but it probably won't have much effect on the people you're going to meet next, Sonoko, right?"
