Conan: The Heart Thief

Hearing this, Kudo Yukiko was deeply moved. She didn't expect that Lin Xiao would still consider her at this time. She quickly nodded.

"Get up quickly."

When Lin Xiao saw that Kudo Yukiko had woken up, he urged her to get up from him quickly. He was almost unable to move now.

"Get up from me quickly, I can't bear it any longer..."

"Wow, wow, wow... I can't move now..."

"Then how do you know to twist?"

"None of my business!"

Lin Xiao was very upset. Since you are not kind, don't blame me for being unfair. Now that things have come to this, Lin Xiao had no choice but to take revenge.

Yusaku Kudo, who was sleeping next to him, rolled over, mumbled a few times in his sleep, and continued to snore...

……

……

……

It was a new day. Lin Xiao and the Kudo couple sat in the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

"Oh no, I'm hungover..." Kudo Yusaku felt dizzy and had no appetite.

"Yusaku, if you're not feeling well, don't drink." Kudo Yukiko warned unhappily.

"Mr. Lin, how did you sleep last night?" Kudo Yusaku asked Lin Xiao with concern.

"Thanks to your wife, I slept a little tired last night..." Lin Xiao ate sweet pastries and drank hot coffee.

"Ah?" Kudo Yusaku didn't understand the meaning of Lin Xiao's words, so he asked his wife, "Yukiko, did you neglect Mr. Lin last night?"

"How dare I?" Kudo Yukiko looked guilty and didn't dare to look into Kudo Yusaku's eyes.

After finishing breakfast, Kudo Yusaku said goodbye and left.

"Yukiko, I'm leaving now... You should accompany Lin Xiao on my behalf. We may need to rely on him in the future..."

Since returning to Tokyo, Kudo Yusaku has been full of passion. What he really loves is the detective career, and the work of a novelist is just a compromise for his family. Now, his detective soul has been ignited again.

"Okay. I understand. You go about your business, and I'll take care of things."

"Yukiko, you are really my good wife."

Kudo Yusaku was so satisfied with his wife that he couldn't help wanting to kiss her. When he raised his head, his face was swept by her hair, leaving him with only a back view.

Kudo Yusaku laughed a few times as if to self-deprecate, and thought that he should find out the truth about what happened to his son as soon as possible, and then take his wife and son to New York and never return to Tokyo.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Xiao stood in the snow at the door of the hotel and yawned.

"Aunt Yukiko, maybe it's time for us to go back to Tokyo."

Yukiko still wore the green hip skirt, paired with flesh-colored stockings and brown high heels. Even in Sapporo where it snowed, she was still chic and relaxed.

"How about we go around Sapporo?"

"Then let's go shopping."

"Let's go."

The two took a taxi and arrived at the JR Tower business district.

The reason why Kudo Yukiko came here was to pick out winter clothes for herself and Lin Xiao.

The two walked into ESTA department store, which had heating on, and Yukiko's tense body relaxed.

"It's so cold in Sapporo, and it's sunny in Tokyo." Yukiko couldn't help but complain.

Lin Xiao felt the same way. The weather in this world was all about being casual. It could be summer or winter at any time. "You came to the commercial street specifically to buy winter clothes?"

"Yeah. It's so cold here, we need to change into winter clothes. It's just right, we can help each other choose clothes."

"I don't need it. The clothes here are so expensive." Lin Xiao frowned, and the system gave him one million yen, which was only enough for living expenses in Tokyo for one year.

"It's okay. You don't need to spend any money. Auntie will buy it for you." Since Kudo Yukiko said this, Lin Xiao didn't refuse. Why not get it for free?

Lin Xiao picked out a down jacket at random and asked Kudo Yukiko to pay for it for him.

Lin Xiao bought the clothes very quickly, but it was more troublesome for Kudo Yukiko to buy clothes. She tried on all kinds of clothes and asked Lin Xiao for his opinion after they were done.

Lin Xiao had to beg for favors, so he could only patiently accompany Kudo Yukiko to pick out clothes.

By the time Kudo Yukiko had chosen her winter clothes, it was already noon at the restaurant.

Yukiko Kudo changed into winter clothes, a British-style white dress, paired with a British hat, she really has the aura of a European aristocratic woman.

Lin Xiao looked at Kudo Yukiko, who was wearing winter clothes, and thought that there was a reason why this woman was so popular in Japan when she was young. Not only was she beautiful, but she also looked good in whatever she wore.

"Auntie, am I very beautiful? Keep staring at me..." Kudo Yukiko smiled at Lin Xiao.

"You were a big star when you were young, how could you not be beautiful? Don't ask such boring questions." Lin Xiao curled his lips. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he still told the truth.

"So you knew I was a celebrity?"

"I know."

The lunch we had was Japanese hot pot. The biggest difference between Japanese hot pot and Chinese hot pot is that the meat is not mixed.

It’s either pork hotpot, beef hotpot, or venison hotpot...the meats are not mixed together.

Of course there are mixed ones, which are called one-pot stew, and cannot be considered traditional Japanese hot pot.

They ordered beef hotpot, which Lin Xiao ate with gusto, and noticed that Kudo Yukiko seemed to be worried about something.

"Aunt Yukiko, why are you in a daze?"

"Daze, are you?"

"Well... you've been in a daze for quite a while. I'm almost full by myself..."

"If you like it, eat more. If it's not enough, I can ask the waiter to bring more."

"No, I've had enough."

Chapter 43: Kudo Yukiko considers creating a new account

"Aunt Yukiko, if you are worried about last night's incident, don't worry. I will just treat it as a misunderstanding and won't tell anyone about it."

As a victim, Lin Xiao chose to forgive Kudo Yukiko.

"I'm not afraid of you telling everyone about it." Kudo Yukiko held her chin with her bare hands, "I'm worried about other things..."

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

Kudo Yukiko blushed, her cheeks puffed up, and she stared at Lin Xiao: "You came without any protection last night, aren't you worried that I might get pregnant?"

"But... you were riding on me and didn't want to leave..." Lin Xiao had also thought about this problem and reminded Kudo Yukiko to leave him, but instead Kudo Yukiko clamped her waist with her legs.

Kudo Yukiko knew she was in the wrong and couldn't blame Lin Xiao. She could only blame Kudo Yu for his bad idea, which failed to get information from Lin Xiao and instead got her involved.

"I don't mean to blame you. I'm just... hesitant. What if I win the prize, should I give birth to the baby?" Kudo Yukiko thought that if the account of Kudo Shinichi was ruined and could not be saved, then she would create a new one.

"I advise you not to do that. I won't be responsible." Lin Xiao felt cold sweat on his back. He was not ready to be a father yet.

When Kudo Yukiko heard that Lin Xiao wanted to stay out of it, her tone became agitated.

"Humph! I didn't ask you to be responsible. You are not my husband. My husband will be responsible. It's not your turn."

"Do you want your husband to raise someone else's child?"

"It's not that easy to win the prize. Counting the days, yesterday was my safe period. Hmm... I think so..." Yukiko Fujimine's beautiful blue eyes, which were originally filled with excitement, immediately turned into "small eyes". After blinking awkwardly, she began to change the subject and talk about something else.

"Lin Xiao, have you decided where to go this afternoon?"

"This is my first time in Sapporo. I don't know if you ask me."

“…Go back to Tokyo!”

I don’t know if it was Lin Xiao’s illusion, but when he expressed his unwillingness to take responsibility, Kudo Yukiko’s attitude towards him became obviously colder.

……

Teitan High School is about to usher in the school festival.

The school festival performance of the second-year class B is a play.

The script was written by Suzuki Sonoko, starring Lin Xiao and Mao Lilan.

The weekend before the school festival, Lin Xiao and Mao Lilan came to Suzuki Sonoko's house for rehearsal.

Takei Naoko, the class monitor, also came to help, and she and Suzuki Sonoko were supporting roles in the play.

In addition, Conan, who learned about this, also came.

In the Suzuki family's professional photography studio, Naoko Takei operates a computer.

"I'm ready here."

"OK"

Suzuki Sonoko held a megaphone and said, "Start."

Conan was speechless. It was just a rehearsal. Was it necessary to make it so professional?

Lin Xiao and Mao Lilan began to rehearse according to the script given by Suzuki Sonoko. The two of them looked like a princess and a knight in their costumes.

……

"Who are you who has rescued me so many times recently?" Mao Lilan sighed and stretched out her hand to Lin Xiao, "Ah... the unknown knight wrapped in black! If you are willing to fulfill this princess' humble wish, please take off your black mask and show me your true face!"

Ran Mao Li looked at the boy in front of her with hope - the boy wearing a black knight performance costume and a mask.

"If this is really your wish, Princess, I am willing to present my face, which is scarred by hatred, to you under the moonlight."

Lin Xiao took off his mask, and Mao Lilan couldn't help blushing as she looked at the young man she had been with day and night.

The performance ended here.

"You two, why did you stop all of a sudden? I haven't even called for stop yet."

Lin Xiao picked up the script on the ground and said helplessly: "Yuanzi, why don't you take a look at what you wrote? The next scene requires the princess and the knight to kiss passionately. Isn't this asking too much?"

"Zundu, fake du." Conan heard this and ran over excitedly, "Sister Sonoko, how could you let Sister Xiaolan and Brother Lin Xiao kiss? Sister Xiaolan is Brother Shinichi's girlfriend."
