Chapter 400 A man needs to feel a sense of crisis.

"Sakura, where did you go for a walk? You're back so late!"

Outside a wooden house halfway up the mountain.

Touya and Fujitaka brought out the barbecue grill.

At this moment, Fujitaka is grilling the prepared skewers over the fire.

Touya, Yukito, and Sakura sat at the table next to them, waiting to be fed.

However, Sakura and her brother barely ate any skewers.

Basically, most of what Fujitaka roasted ended up in the snow rabbit's stomach.

"Miamiamia~ So delicious!" Yukito devoured a whole skewer in one bite, stuffing her mouth full and looking completely satisfied.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Touya said helplessly, giving most of his portion to Yukito, while he picked up the teapot and filled the four cups on the table.

"I just went to that villa up ahead!" Sakura took the teacup Touya handed her, thanked him first, and then said to her father with a grin, "I was playing a little late and didn't notice the time—Mia~ It's really delicious! As expected of Dad's cooking!"

Sakura was also eating grilled skewers. A burst of aroma filled her mouth, and she immediately showed a satisfied expression.

"It's just a walk. That villa is just okay to look at. What's so interesting about it? Did you sit in front of its gate and stare at it all afternoon?"

"You monster are so boring! I'm worried about her. Don't try to see through her door!" Touya would nitpick at Sakura as usual.

"What?! I'm not sick, why am I sitting at someone's front door?" Sakura swallowed the mutton in her mouth and immediately puffed out her beard and glared.

Just because she doesn't have a beard, even her angry expressions become much cuter.

"I was invited by the owner of that villa! He treated me to a delicious meal and showed me around the villa. It was so big! I felt like I could ride a little car inside."

As Sakura spoke, her dark green eyes sparkled: "We ended up walking around until it got quite late, but actually I didn't see much. We just drank tea in the garden and chatted for a long time."

"The owner of that villa invited you for tea? Was it good?" Yukito, who was eating skewers, paused when she heard this, and then asked Sakura in a muffled voice.

"It tastes pretty good—" Sakura was about to reply.

Touya's teasing voice came over: "You probably drank all that tea in one go, right?"

"Oh, there's no way!" Sakura pouted, giving Touya a fierce look, but it wasn't very offensive.

"What's the owner of that villa like?"

Fujitaka, who was grilling meat, glanced at Sakura, then looked away, smiled faintly, and asked softly.

"That's great! He was an old gentleman, and he was very polite to me. I discovered that he had many of the same hobbies as me! It was like he knew what I liked."

Sakura chuckled, "Especially the dessert that the old man prepared for me, it was really delicious!"

"Wow, Sakura, now that you say that, I want to try it too." Yukito swallowed hard, grabbed a skewer that Touya had offered, and started eating it heartily.

"I knew you monster wouldn't be polite," Touya said, glancing sideways at Sakura as if he already knew her nature. "You ate at least one piece of that dessert, didn't you?"

Faced with Touya's questioning.

Sakura wanted to be tougher, but she couldn't.

He was right.

I did eat more than one piece.

There's nothing we can do about it; those pastries are just so delicious.

It was as if Tomoyo herself had done it.

She couldn't resist and ate a lot.

Moreover, in order to avoid Xiao Ke scolding her when she got back, she had to secretly save a piece for Xiao Ke to eat.

So, all things considered, she really did eat quite a few desserts from other people.

That's why, when faced with Touya's questioning, Sakura was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and didn't say anything.

"Ahem!"

Sakura coughed twice, quickly trying to change the subject.

She looked at her father and said, "Old man, that grandfather said that if I have time tomorrow, he would like to invite me to come over again. That villa is very big; I haven't even finished looking around yet."

"And also, that old man said there's a mountain villa up there! Some of his younger relatives are having a gathering there. They didn't come back before I left, so I guess they're going to spend the night on the mountain."

Sakura pouted, "The old man even asked me if I wanted to go to the resort to play."

"Go if you want to go," Fujitaka agreed without much thought.

"(•·) Huh? Old man, do you mean you agree to let me go to that resort?" Sakura fanned her long eyelashes.

"What I mean is, if you want to go see that old man, go ahead. If he agrees, you can also visit the resort if you want."

Fujitaka picked up the spice bottle, turned it upside down, shook it up and down, and sprinkled the seasoning on the sizzling skewers.

Seeing Sakura's bewildered yet adorable expression, he couldn't help but smile gently: "Sometimes it's a good thing to meet companions you can talk to while traveling, so go for it if you want to. No matter what you do, Sakura, I will definitely support you."

Looking at her father's broad shoulders, Sakura felt moved.

Although she grew up without her mother by her side, this father always gave her the deepest paternal love.

Make her feel at ease, make her feel warm.

Sakura nodded her head: "Yeah! Arigato!"

"Eat quickly, let's finish grilling these and then hurry back inside. I have a feeling it might rain tonight." Fujitaka placed the freshly grilled skewers on a plate on the table, then looked up at the sky.

"Yes, sir!" Sakura and the others all nodded in response.

"Judging from the sky, there might be a heavy rain."

Hilltop Manor.

Zhi Shi stood gracefully by the window, her gaze quietly piercing through the glass as she looked towards the horizon.

Beside her stood Wang Changsheng, who nodded slightly: "Yes, perhaps we shouldn't have come."

Who would have thought we'd run into such a jinx here?

The weather was so nice.

As soon as Conan, the Grim Reaper, arrived, the sky turned a bit gloomy.

Now it's even more so.

It felt like a torrential downpour could happen at any moment.

"I should have known better than to come! Ugh, I'm so stupid. Sonoko Suzuki is here, so it wouldn't have been a problem for Conan to come over." Wang

Changsheng sighed.

I thought Sonoko Suzuki was just a supporting character, and that she would cause trouble wherever she went, just like Conan.

The result was unexpected—

"Sigh!" Wang Changsheng sighed again, then composed himself.

Since things have already come to this, we might as well take this opportunity to accumulate more negative points.

He wants to level up quickly.

Just as Wang Changsheng was pondering how to make money off Conan, Tomoyo turned around.

"But we still came, didn't we?"

"()Well?"

Wang Changsheng was stunned.

"Yes, we're here." He was a little confused, not quite understanding what Tomoyo meant.

They've already come, so what does "they've already come" mean?

And why did you come? Wasn't it because of your maternal grandfather?

Wang Changsheng looked puzzled, but Zhi Shi didn't continue speaking. Instead, she silently withdrew her gaze and looked out the window again.

Wang Changsheng was completely baffled by Zhi Shi's slightly strange behavior.

"What does Tomoyo mean by that?" He pursed his lips. "I feel like after spending more time with Conan's people, everyone seems to be acting a little strange."

Just as Wang Changsheng was feeling confused, Zhi Shi's gaze was fixed on the distance, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her eyes were somewhat vacant.

Or.

Inside, there was even a reflection of a person, like a movie playing in the background.

"I wonder how Sakura's vacation went. Ah~ I really want to film Sakura's entire vacation today~"

Tomoyo's mind was filled with random thoughts.

Seeing that she was silent, Wang Changsheng didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he started thinking about how best to trick Conan.

At this moment, the dark clouds on the horizon were already drifting in in a vast and swaying manner.

Dark clouds covered the sky, making it extremely gloomy.

The distant, rolling mountains seemed to merge with the sky and earth, eventually blending into the dark clouds and turning into a black hue.

Not long after.

It's started raining.

The rain started suddenly.

It was as if countless rain curtains had suddenly swept down.

At that moment, it seemed as if heaven and earth truly intersected.

"It's really raining. The weather looked pretty good during the day."

On the other side of Wang Changsheng and Zhishi, Xiaolan was standing with Conan in front of a window.

She tilted her head back, looked at the gloomy sky, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and almost pressed her body against the windowpane to look outside.

The rain had just started, yet it seemed to be soaking the entire forest.

Summer is rainy.

It's in the mountains again.

The weather was unpredictable, but no one paid much attention to it.

However, they all complained about the terrible weather.

Conan glanced at the grove of trees outside the window; the grayish-green hue cast by the heavy rain looked somewhat heavy and oppressive.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we could have seen the maple leaves before, but now with this heavy rain and it's so dark, we can't see anything at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan turned his head, pretending to look out the window, but actually he was glancing at Wang Changsheng out of the corner of his eye.

"Xiao Lan"

Suddenly a voice rang out from behind Conan.

It appeared stealthily and silently, startling even the focused Conan.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sonoko?" Xiaolan knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice. She turned her head and looked at her best friend who was looking furtive.

Her intuition told her that this girl was definitely up to no good.

Sure enough, Sonoko lowered her voice, winked, and whispered to Ran, "Do you really think he's just average?"

As she spoke, Sonoko nudged Ran's arm with her own, her face beaming with excitement.

Its flexibility even gave Conan the illusion that the eyebrows might grow legs and run away.

However, following the direction of the garden's gaze...

Conan realized that what this guy really wanted to tell Ran was that long-haired man.

The other person was standing silently in front of the first window, quite a distance away, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

He simply put his hands in his pockets, his face calm, and watched the rain patter down from the windowpane in front of him.

"He's so handsome! Xiaolan, how could you not feel it? Those sharp features, that aura... wow~ Didn't you feel anything?"

That coldness beneath the melancholy? It's just so cool!

Sonoko hid next to Ran, not even daring to openly stare at the long-haired man, and could only peek and sizing him up.

Even so, her eyes had already turned into hearts.

My saliva was practically dripping all over the floor.

It's clear she really likes it —

Upon seeing this, Conan's lips twitched violently.

His dead fish eyes seemed to want to pop out of the sky and onto the earth.

"So, this girl didn't listen to a word Wang Changsheng said?"

Conan coughed twice, then said to Sonoko, "Hey, Sonoko-neechan, didn't Changsheng-nii just tell you? If you're weak, you should focus on your health. You shouldn't be looking at handsome guys all the time; you should be taking care of yourself!"

Not only should he not watch it himself, but he should also not drag his Xiaolan to watch it!

"Tch~ What's the big deal? I'm already weak anyway, why shouldn't I watch?" Ran scoffed at Conan's words.

Conan:

That makes a lot of sense.

He couldn't refute it.

"Ahem!" Conan coughed lightly, trying to regain his composure. "Don't you want to be healthy, Sonoko-neechan?"

I thought these words would have some effect.

To everyone's surprise, when Sonoko heard this, her pout was so pronounced it could hang a bucket on her lips.

"What's the use of being healthy? Do you want to end up like Xiaolan?"

Sonoko glanced at Ran and muttered, "Ran's health is pretty good, is it because she has nowhere to turn for help? No wonder—"

Xiaolan: "(♡°△°)?"

No, you can look at handsome guys if you want, but how did this get dragged into me?!

Xiaolan was just standing there when she was inexplicably dragged into the mess.

Wang Changsheng and Zhi Shi's attention was also drawn to the commotion on Conan's side.

He turned his head and saw Conan's indescribable expression.

If I had to describe it...

It's probably as inexplicable as seeing a bullfrog forcibly take a toad.

"What, am I wrong?" Sonoko snorted. "Did you tell Shinichi, as I told you, that I brought you here to set you up on a blind date?"

"(--- Sonoko! What do you mean, my Shinichi? Don't talk nonsense." Ran's face turned red instantly.

"What, you didn't say?" Sonoko's eyes widened.

"No, I didn't say—" Xiaolan's cheeks were as red as ripe apples as she stammered, shaking her head.

"! Didn't I tell you to tell him? Why didn't you tell him?" Sonoko exclaimed anxiously. "That guy's always nowhere to be seen, and he didn't even come with you this time. I told you to tell him this to see if he'd get jealous, don't you understand, sister!"

"You have to make this man feel a little threatened! Understand?" Sonoko gritted her teeth in exasperation.

"What are you talking about? Shinichi is just too busy—"
