I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

"I asked you to have lunch with me, why didn't you come? So you were secretly eating this good stuff?" Sonoko Suzuki smiled with narrowed eyes, then looked around the locker room.

She seemed to be searching for a suitable weapon.

Chapter 3: Confessing to Xiaolan is a Love Triangle

Sonoko Suzuki glanced around the locker room and found a baseball bat lying in the corner that looked perfect.

Sonoko Suzuki was very angry.

She was so angry that she couldn't even think about what would happen to Chen Nuo if she hit him with that stick.

The main reason was that she had just begun to change her impression of Chen Nuo, realizing that he was different from the description of Shinichi Kudo, when Chen Nuo gave her an unexpected "surprise".

This made Sonoko feel like she had been deceived.

In addition, men use underwear in this way...

Sonoko Suzuki felt she had to teach him a lesson, so she put down her lunchbox and got up to get the baseball bat from the corner.

But her anger made her forget that she had a knee injury.

She had only taken one step when the pain in her knee made Sonoko's legs buckle, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Then, when his nose was about five centimeters from the floor, he was pulled back and lay on his back on the bench in the locker room.

"Calm down and let me explain," Chen Nuo said, pressing down on Suzuki Sonoko, who was still trying to remember.

Sonoko, pinned down by the other person, suddenly felt a little scared: "W-what do you want to do? This is a school, the teachers could come at any time."

Chen Nuo's gaze swept over her long, full thighs, then he gently shook his head: "You don't need to worry about that. I'm actually quite picky."

"Damn it, what do you mean by that explanation?" Sonoko was even more unhappy when she heard this. She questioned Chen Nuo and grabbed his tie.

However, this time the force was too great.

The tie tugged at Chen Nuo's neck, almost touching Suzuki Sonoko's lips.

Chen Nuo looked at Suzuki Sonoko's small face, which was so close to his.

Her delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and her large, watery eyes had long lost their arrogant air, making her look like a tamed dog, endearing and lovable.

Her small, soft cherry lips were coated with an inconspicuous lip balm. The crystal-clear color and the sweet fragrance that wafted out with each breath made one want to hold them in their mouth and savor them to the fullest.

This state lasted for a few seconds.

Outside the changing room, at the swimming pool, a man's voice suddenly came from complaining: "It's not cleaned at all. The tools are scattered everywhere. Honestly, it's so unreliable."

Chen Nuo and Yuanzi parted ways in a flash.

Yuanzi crossed her arms and glared angrily at Chen Nuo.

However, a faint pink hue appeared on her ears and neck, and her toes, painted with pretty light pink nail polish, curled up on her bare feet, unable to speak for a long time.

He looks like he's in a state of both shame and anger.

Chen Nuo touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Just then, the door to the break room opened, and a man with slicked-back hair and lots of hair oil walked in, angrily shouting, "Which class are you from? What are you doing here?"

Looking at the other person's muscular physique under the tight-fitting sports shirt, Chen Nuo wondered if he was a teacher at the school. Are there teachers who look this fierce?

Sonoko: "Mr. Yamazaki..."

Chen Nuo thought to himself, "Oh no, it really is a teacher from the school. If Yuanzi tells anyone about the stockings, she'll probably be reported to the school."

It will probably be even harder to pursue Xiaolan then.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I hurt my leg, and Chen Nuo is about to help me apply ointment," Suzuki Sonoko explained, showing him the location of her injury.

Chen Nuo glanced at Yuanzi with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, she didn't mention the stockings, and Chen Nuo also noticed that Sonoko deliberately used her body to block the problematic lunchbox behind her.

Chen Nuo stared at Suzuki Sonoko's delicate profile, unable to understand what she meant.

Ryuji Yamazaki's gaze swept back and forth between Sonoko and Chen Nuo, then he gently inhaled the air through his nose until he was sure there was no strange smell in the changing room.

He was finally relieved.

Since the outdoor swimming pool will be used for tomorrow's PE class, Yamazaki Ryuji took the opportunity after get off work to check on the progress of the pool's cleaning, which is also one of the PE teacher's responsibilities.

But when he saw the strange state of the two people in the locker room, his heart jumped into his throat.

Yamazaki was not a rigid person; during his youth, he often exchanged experiences with younger female students in the library or warehouse.

He also knew very well that this generation of kids was much more playful than they were back then.

However, this does not mean that he will allow students to run wild within his jurisdiction.

That would mean he wouldn't receive his performance bonus.

However, there was no strange smell in the air, and the two people's clothes were relatively intact, so it seemed that they were really treating their leg injuries.

Teacher Yamazaki: "Did you prepare the tools outside?"

Chen Nuo then explained, "The teacher punished us by making us clean the pool, but Suzuki got injured before we even started."

"As expected, they're still unreliable. We'll have to clean it up ourselves." Ms. Yamazaki sighed. "After you've applied the ointment, you can take this girl home. I'll take care of the tools outside."

Chen Nuo nodded.

However, Sonoko Suzuki shook her head, saying that this was the punishment they deserved for doing something wrong and that they couldn't escape it. She asked the teacher to allow them to come back to clean up tomorrow after their injuries had healed.

After thinking for a moment, Ms. Yamazaki agreed to Sonoko's request.

However, he suggested cleaning it up before class tomorrow afternoon, and then turned around and went to the yard to pack up his tools.

Chen Nuo initially thought that Yuanzi was saying this out of a sense of responsibility.

But after Mr. Yamazaki left, he learned that Sonoko was worried about being punished by the math teacher in other ways.

"I don't want to do a hundred sets of math test papers, I'd rather clean the pool," Sonoko said while applying medicine.

While applying the medicine, Sonoko listened to Chen Nuo's explanation.

Then they checked the stockings in the lunchbox and found they weren't hers.

However, the fact that there were girls' stockings in Chen Nuo's lunchbox still made Suzuki Sonoko suspicious of Chen Nuo.

After applying the medicine, Sonoko contacted her family's driver to pick her up from school.

As for Xiaolan, she definitely can't go in her condition. I'll call her again tonight to ask.

Chen Nuo helped Suzuki Sonoko walk across the swimming pool toward the school gate.

As soon as I stepped out of the pool, I saw Mr. Yamazaki smoking and making a phone call around the corner.

When Ms. Yamazaki saw their hands clasped together, she frowned and said, "Even after leaving school, you can't be too unrestrained. Be careful."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded obediently.

After walking a distance, Sonoko covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems like Yamazaki-sensei treats us like little kids, even telling us to be careful."

Chen Nuo looked at her speechlessly: "You really don't know what he meant?"

Sonoko blinked, her delicate eyelashes fluttering. "Weren't we told to be careful when crossing the street? That's something for little kids, isn't it?"

Chen Nuo stared at her for several seconds and realized that she really didn't understand what Yamazaki-sensei meant. He sighed and said, "Never mind, you're fine the way you are."

"Damn it, don't just say half of what you mean, you bastard!!" Sonoko grabbed Chen Nuo's ear and pressed him relentlessly for an answer.

Having no other choice, Chen Nuo gave her a few simple and easy-to-understand prompts.

Sonoko Suzuki's skin, exposed outside her school uniform, visibly turned red, and a hint of panic and embarrassment flickered in her beautiful eyes.

“Who, who would do that kind of thing with you?” Sonoko exclaimed. “That’s wishful thinking.”

"That's great, I'm not really interested in you anyway." Chen Nuo looked around. "By the way, why don't you let your driver come into the school?"

“That would be too ostentatious…” Sonoko Suzuki was explaining when she realized that Chen Nuo had inadvertently changed the subject.

"You're lying, aren't you? You were just staring at my feet." Sonoko exposed Chen Nuo's lie.

"I was trying to compare the difference between you and Xiaolan, and the result is obvious."

Sonoko's eyes widened: "You actually look down on me? You bastard, I'm..."

On the tree-lined path leading to the school gate, young men and women in school uniforms walked hand in hand.

The chirping of cicadas filled the air, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, and sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled patterns on the girl's clean face.

The girl argued vehemently about who disliked whose face, which was mixed with the fragrance on her body.

Although many unexpected situations occurred that day.

But Chen Nuo felt that her first day back on campus was pretty good.

.

The next day, Ran Mouri heard some bombshell news as soon as she stepped into the school gate—

Sonoko Suzuki has someone she likes.

While Xiaolan was happy for her best friend, she was also very curious about who the other person was.

However, when she brought up this topic with Sonoko, Sonoko hesitated and said that it was all just rumors and that there was no such person at all.

But Sonoko's attempt to cover up the truth clearly indicated something was wrong.

"They probably aren't ready to announce it yet," Xiaolan thought to herself.

Chen Nuo was almost late again the next day, so he didn't get to talk to Xiao Lan until the end of the first class.

During the break, he saw Ran and Sonoko sitting by the window, and Ran looked like she was in a bad mood.

I don't know if Sonoko mentioned the stockings to her.

I hope she didn't say anything; she covered it up for herself in front of the teacher yesterday.

With a nervous heart, Chen Nuo walked over and asked, "Xiao Lan, why didn't you come to school yesterday?"

Xiaolan: "My parents had a fight, and this time it was a really big fight."

"I see." After all, it was a family matter, so Chen Nuo didn't ask any further questions.

That concludes the discussion.
