People are in Conan, but the Shura field

Hearing Chen Nuo's approaching footsteps, Suzuki Sonoko retreated again. She turned around and hid in the corridor to observe Chen Nuo's movements.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nuo launched a surprise attack from behind.

And then—

I remember the garden too clearly, but I can recall the comfortable feeling of soaking in a hot spring of just the right temperature.

"I, I wanted to push you away, so I grabbed your hair." Suzuki Sonoko defended.

Chen Nuo thought, how can you draw circles behind someone's ears with your fingertips when grabbing someone's hair? However, seeing Yuanzi's attempt to cover up the truth, he did not expose her.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Chen Nuo changed the subject.

Yuanzi lifted the hair beside her ear and whispered, "If it weren't for you this afternoon, I would have fallen into the pond. Although it was an accident, I am here on behalf of my father after all. If I become so wolfish, I will be laughed at, so I want to come and thank you."

"Why be polite? Aren't we good friends?" Chen Nuo smiled.

Yuanzi looked at him with a complicated expression: "No, I still want to thank you. Come with me."

Chen Nuo: "Really, that's not necessary. Last time I didn't sleep well for several days."

"Last time?" Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head.

Chen Nuo patiently explained: "It was that time in the hotel room, you sprained your ankle and then-"

"Damn it, balls!" Suzuki Sonoko's cheeks turned light pink again. She gritted her teeth and said, "What are you thinking about? I just want to make tea for you."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Suzuki Sonoko: "What does that disappointed look on your face mean? You're such a playboy."

"You saw it wrong, that was an expression of relief on my face." Chen Nuo explained, but was soon attacked in retaliation by Suzuki Sonoko.

But if it's just about making tea, it would be fine. Xiaolan will probably come a little later, and if Sonoko keeps pestering me, the agreement with Xiaolan will not be fulfilled.

Chen Nuo weighed the pros and cons and walked towards the living room with Yuanzi.

Seeing that Yuanzi chose the living room as the venue, Chen Nuo felt more relieved.

When they arrived, the maid, Miss Hua Qi, was cleaning the living room. After learning that Yuanzi wanted to make tea, she specially brought some cakes over before leaving.

In this kind of environment, at least there is no need to worry about a Shura field occurring.

Suzuki Sonoko knelt in front of Chen Nuo, arranged the tea set, and began to operate skillfully.

By the way, Conan also passed by the living room once while investigating clues. He saw Chen Nuo and Sonoko making tea, and immediately showed a grateful look to Suzuki Sonoko.

The tea ceremony process is very complicated, although Chen Nuo is not very interested in it.

But this was Suzuki Sonoko's sincere intention after all, and he watched her operation process seriously.

First, wash the tea set with silk tea, then warm the tea bowl with boiling water, pour out the water, and then wipe the tea bowl dry. Then use a bamboo brush to mix the matcha, pour it into the tea bowl and brew the tea. Yuanzi's snow-white arms are like crystal clear jade, and the white patch on the collar of her yukata is even more——

The boring process of making tea made Chen Nuo quickly focus on other things.

But fortunately, he still maintained a serious expression on his face.

After all, they were here to attend a tea ceremony, so they felt it was inconvenient not to wear kimonos. However, it would feel weird if they brewed tea in belly-exposing clothes, so everyone chose plain yukatas.

But compared to belly-baring outfits, yukatas still have a little more fabric. After working for a long time, Suzuki Sonoko started to sweat on the tip of her nose.

"Okay, tea please."

Yuanzi carefully picked up the teacup, handed it to Chen Nuo, and then looked at Chen Nuo expectantly.

Chen Nuo took a sip, with just the right amount of shock and surprise on his face: "I didn't expect you to be so capable. I really underestimated you."

The corners of Suzuki Sonoko's mouth curled up and her eyes narrowed into two beautiful crescents.

At this moment, soft footsteps were suddenly heard in the corridor, and Mouri Ran, wearing the same style of yukata as Suzuki Sonoko, appeared in front of them.

Xiaolan: "Yes? You are still drinking tea so late?"

She just went to look for Chen Nuo and found that he was not in the room, so she came here.

"Ah - yes, when something like this happens, I always have trouble sleeping," Sonoko explained.

Xiaolan nodded and walked over to sit next to Sonoko. Her hair was a little frizzy and she looked like she had just gotten out of bed.

"You can't sleep either?" Yuanzi picked up the tea set and started working on it.

Xiaolan glanced at Chen Nuo secretly: "Well, I want to see the scenery."

"It's a pity it's raining, otherwise we could sit on the edge and look at the stars." Yuanzi handed the brewed tea to Xiaolan. Chen Nuo smiled and said, "I think rainy days are also great, there is a different kind of beauty."

"Does Chen Nuojun like rainy days?" Xiaolan asked.

"Well, Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko secretly took note of this information.

"By the way, Xiaolan, I saw in a magazine that there will be a meteor shower soon." Suzuki Sonoko changed the topic.

She wanted to bring up the topic of meteor shower just now, but was interrupted by Chen Nuo. However, this did not stop her determination to go watch the meteor shower with Xiaolan.

Of course, it is also possible to ask Chen Nuo to help carry the bag.

"Meteor shower?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, I found a new method in a book..." Suzuki Sonoko explained.

Perhaps she discovered an ancient ritual in a book, through which she made a wish for the poppy.

You will find your Mr. Right soon.

There just so happened to be another wave of meteor shower rewards coming up soon, so Yuanzi wanted to take this opportunity to give it a try.

"It's possible, but is it really effective?" Xiaolan was skeptical.

Sonoko said with a straight face: "There is also a ritual to keep the person you love firmly by your side."

"Please take me with you." Xiaolan grabbed Sonoko's hand seriously.

Suzuki Sonoko showed a triumphant expression, and then casually said: "Chen Nuojun, come along too. It's dangerous for two girls to go out at night."

Chen Nuo nodded: "Okay."

Chen Nuo also became interested. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be an episode in Conan's original work where a case took place while watching a meteor shower.

Is it possible that Miss Sonoko is going to bring me new miners again?

It feels like Sonoko has become a koi girl without realizing it.

Chen Nuo picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea. It tasted better than before. Even Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting across the table chattering with Xiaolan, seemed to look a little better.

After that, they chatted for some interesting stories at school. Xiaolan said she was sleepy, so they packed up the tea sets, left the living room and went back to their room to sleep.

After Chen Nuo returned to the room, he opened the wooden sliding door near the edge.

Just looking at the pond and bamboo forest in the yard, listening to the sound of rain hitting the ground, I waited patiently for Xiaolan to arrive.

Not long after, there was an almost unnoticeable knock on the door from behind.

Chen Nuo walked to the door and gently opened it.

Xiaolan, with a determined look on her face, appeared in front of him. Her little hands tightly grasped the hem of her yukata, and she didn't dare to look Chen Nuo in the eye.

Chen Nuo said softly, "Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Ah."

Xiaolan answered in a very soft voice.

A section of white calves peeked out from the bottom of the navy blue yukata, and the soft little feet stepped lightly on the tatami in the room.

It's just a simple step, but it means a lot to Mao Lilan.

The two of them sat down at a small low table near the window, where they could enjoy the rain without worrying about getting wet.

There were a few plates of snacks and a set of tea-making equipment on the table, and the boiling water in the kettle was bubbling.

The rain was much lighter than before, and the two sat side by side, looking at the scenery and chatting.

Xiaolan entangled the ends of her hair that fell in front of her chest with her slender fingers while chatting with Chen Nuo about completely unrelated topics, never getting to the point.

“I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful view at night.”

"Is that a frog? It's so cute."

"If only mom could come along too—"

Chen Nuo interrupted Xiaolan's long spell casting process and grabbed her hand.

Xiaolan's hands are very thin, but they don't feel like fists.

Unlike those hot girls who like to dress up their hands in fancy ways, Xiaolan's nails are trimmed very neatly.

There is a pure natural beauty in it.

Perhaps because of nervousness, her palms were sweating a lot, which allowed Chen Nuo to feel the skin texture on her palms more clearly.

"Lan, it's getting late." Chen Nuo stared at the ripples in the pond.

"I-I know."

It was a very simple answer, and then Chen Nuo felt Xiaolan's body leaning towards him.

The cute corner of the chair above Xiaolan's head kept rubbing against the tip of his nose, and the pleasant scent of shampoo made him even more dizzy.

At this time, a cold wind blew in from outside, mixed with rain, soaking the tatami near the window.

The wind chimes hanging above your head make clear and pleasant sounds.

Xiaolan's hands are very thin and small.

That reaction, which was like that of a frightened deer, made Chen Nuo love her even more.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down on the ground and the pond, raising a white rain mist that made it impossible to see what was happening in the room.

A gust of wind blew by, and the wind chimes hanging on the door swayed, making a crisp sound.

When the water in the teapot is about to boil dry.

Chen Nuo's gaze shifted from Xiaolan's white ankles to the wind chimes hanging above her head, and his pupils gradually lost focus.

The sound of the kettle boiling, the sound of raindrops hitting the cobblestone road, and the sound of the clock ticking combine to form a wonderful melody that brings joy to the body and mind.

The two of them leaned against each other, looking at the rain outside the window.

After a while, Chen Nuo filled the kettle on the low table with water and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

Xiaolan was sitting on the floor with her back to Chen Nuo, cleaning the tatami. Her snow-white feet were sticking out from under her yukata.

Just facing the direction of Chen Nuo.

But at this moment Chen Nuo did not have any evil thoughts. He just wanted to drink tea and talk about his ideals in life.

"Damn it, why do I have to clean the room so late at night?" Xiaolan seemed very angry, but it seemed that she was not angry just because of this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lan." Chen Nuo picked up a piece of snack that looked like mung bean cake from the fruit plate on the table, walked over and fed it to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan looked at it angrily for a long time, but finally ate the food that Chen Nuo fed her.

Chen Nuo stroked her hair as if he was praising a puppy.

"Don't use your hands, there are still crumbs on your hands." Xiaolan looked like she was enjoying it, but she was complaining.

After cleaning the room, Chen Nuo didn't keep Xiaolan for long.

After all, Uncle Maori is still here. If he is discovered, he will probably fight him to the death, right?

Neither Kogoro Mouri nor Eri Kisaki would ever agree with Xiaolan doing this.

Xiaolan took all the garbage away before leaving. These things cannot be left here, as it would be embarrassing if the cleaning maid saw them.

Although she had already arrived in the corridor, Xiaolan's heart was still beating fast.

She crouched down and walked carefully to the toilet at the end of the corridor, like a spy who had just stolen information.

Flush all the trash down the toilet.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought the matter was over for the time being.

But just as she was about to wash her hands, she found in the mirror that there was a small piece of mung bean cake crumbs on the end of her hair.

It must have been that bastard Chen Nuo who got it on her hair when he touched her hair with the hand that had grabbed the mung bean cake.

Xiaolan gently removed the snack crumbs from her hair.
