Suzuki Sonoko seemed to be touched by Chen Nuo's sincere eyes. Chen Nuo really didn't take it, so she nodded sincerely, sat back in the chair and put on her shoes.

What made Chen Nuo unhappy was that Yuanzi deliberately turned her body away when putting on her shoes so as not to let Chen Nuo see anything about her feet.

Chen Nuo was speechless. Could it be that his reputation had been distorted like this?

I hope she won’t say anything weird to Xiaolan.

Then the two of them searched near the bookshelf for a long time but couldn't find the lost stocking.

When it was almost time for the afternoon class, Chen Nuo still hadn't seen the strange senior student who asked him to report to the library at noon.

Naturally, there is no way to return the things in the pocket to the other party.

Because the witness did not show up, Suzuki Sonoko did not completely relax her suspicion of him. She only treated him a little better because of Chen Nuo's help in finding him and his sincere eyes.

The two walked out of the library side by side and walked along the corridor to the classroom.

Because she couldn't find her socks, Suzuki Sonoko had to take off the remaining pair of stockings and wear white indoor shoes barefoot.

Under her specially shortened school uniform skirt, a pair of long legs with healthy complexion were revealed. At first glance, she had the unique beauty that only athletic girls who often participate in outdoor sports can have.

On the way back to the classroom, Suzuki Sonoko deliberately stuffed a ball of socks into Chen Nuo's hands and asked him to help deal with it to test whether there was anything wrong with Chen Nuo.

How could Chen Nuo fall for such a trick?

He showed a look of disgust, which successfully made Suzuki Sonoko relax her guard. She thoughtfully put her socks into the pocket of her suit uniform and turned to walk towards the classroom.

As it was almost time for class, boys and girls were chasing each other in the corridor from time to time, but there was also a girl from the literature department who was walking to the class leisurely with her books in her arms.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in from the corridor window.

The girls used their hands to hold down their skirts that were blown up by the wind, and uttered shy cries of surprise. The boys around them also took the time to appreciate this rare beauty with their eyes. Then, when they were punched by their childhood sweethearts, they cried for mercy, but with clean and bright smiles on their faces.

Among them, of course, there is the funny middle school boy who stands at the window with his mouth wide open to eat the air, and the introverted girl who observes the reaction of her crush with her peripheral vision.

Suzuki Sonoko looked down at the screen of her mobile phone, out of tune with everyone else.

The wind also blew the hem of her school uniform skirt, and under the hem, her healthy and slender thighs were faintly visible.

The short brown hair hanging beside her ears was blown by the wind to cover half of her face, adding a touch of mystery to her.

do not know why.

This scene seemed to add a completely different filter to Chen Nuo's impression of Suzuki Sonoko, who was gossipy, liked handsome guys, and occasionally showed a Maori uncle-like smile.

The reason why Suzuki Sonoko was not affected by the surrounding environment was because she was texting Xiaolan.

When she found out Xiaolan didn't come to class in the morning, she sent her a text message to ask her, but Xiaolan hasn't replied to her message yet.

I called but the phone was turned off.

During the break, people from the karate club came to ask her why Xiaolan didn't come. It seemed that Xiaolan just asked for leave from the teacher.

This gave Yuanzi a bad feeling.

Ding Ding!

At the top of the phone screen there was a text message from Sakurajima Mai [Sorry Sonoko, I was unable to make it to the student council at noon due to some matters...]

Suzuki Sonoko replied to the other party that it was okay, and asked some questions about the new members joining the club. She was relieved only after confirming that the new member did not regret it.

Suzuki Sonoko's plan was actually very simple, which was to create a new mystery enthusiasts club.

She felt that the fundamental problem that prevented the relationship between Xiaolan and Shinichi from making any progress was that their hobbies were completely different.

Kudo Shinichi is a mystery geek, but Xiaolan knows nothing about this.

So Sonoko planned to use this method to give Xiaolan and Shinichi more common topics.

Moreover, this plan can also tie Xiaolan to club activities. With the practice of the karate club and the daily activities of the reasoning club, at least in school, Xiaolan will not have much time to interact with Chen Nuo.

The first obstacle Suzuki Sonoko encountered was that the students at Teitan High School had no interest in reasoning and solving cases, and it was even more unlikely that they would join any clubs for that purpose.

This is actually all Kudo Shinichi's fault.

He was too smart and too aggressive. Since he entered freshman year, he had already discouraged all those who were interested in reasoning in the school and made them switch to other club activities.

This indirectly led to the fact that even after several days of submitting the application for the establishment of a detective enthusiasts club, there were still only Xiaolan and her as members.

The school requires at least three people to approve the creation of a new club.

Sonoko had no choice but to ask Sakurajima-senpai from the student union for help, and promised that the Suzuki Foundation would sponsor a large sum of supplies during the school festival in exchange for her help.

I don't know what kind of person Sakurajima-senpai is looking for.

But she said she was a junior and was very interested in reasoning. Maybe she was a mystery fanatic like Kudo Shinichi?

Sakurajima-senpai is indeed very reliable.

A boy who is addicted to mystery novels probably won't have any improper thoughts about Xiaolan, and he can also help her and Xiaolan learn some knowledge about the field of mystery novels.

Suzuki Sonoko gently rubbed the buttons of her mobile phone with her fingertips, and she was actually looking forward to meeting this junior fellow student.

At the same time, a piece of gossip that neither Chen Nuo nor Suzuki Sonoko knew about was quietly spreading among the student community.

Student A: "It seems that Suzuki is in a relationship with the new guy named Chen Nuo."

Student B: "No way? Is it the guy who looks like Kudo Shinichi?"

Student A: "Yes, I saw them staying in the library for a long time at noon before coming out."

Student B: "What's the big deal? Maybe I'm just helping him find a book."

Student A: "Suzuki was wearing socks when he went in, but took them off when he came out."

Student B's eyes lit up: "Tell me more————·

Of course, this news is only spreading in a small circle, and Chen Nuo doesn’t know about it yet.

He returned to his seat and found an opportunity to stuff the stockings in his trouser pocket into his schoolbag. It was too dangerous to carry them with him, as he might accidentally take them out when taking something out.

But unexpectedly, another accident happened.

Maybe because there were so many people in the classroom and he was a little nervous, he opened the lid of the lunch box that Haibara Ai packed for him when he was putting his food in.

There was a bit of leftover omelette rice sauce on the black stockings.

Unfortunately, today's omelette rice was out of ketchup, so Haibara Ai used milky white salad dressing.

Chen Nuo looked down at the black cloth in his schoolbag that was stained with white liquid and thought that this seemed a little hard to explain.

No matter what, people will probably suspect me, right?

Even if it is clean, people will still suspect why you are cleaning it because of the different smell of the cleaning fluid. Are you doing something strange?

Chen Nuo thought about it and decided, why not just pretend he didn’t see it?

Anyway, seeing that senior schoolmate is so reckless, she probably won't care too much about this kind of thing.

Because he didn't want his socks to dirty his schoolbag, he simply stuffed the black socks stained with sauce into his lunch box, thinking of finding a place to dispose of them after returning home.

Nothing happened this afternoon, but the boring class made Chen Nuo a little drowsy.

After school.

Chen Nuo was first called by the teacher for questioning, asking him about his feelings on the first day of school and whether he had any discomfort.

When Chen Nuo came out of the teaching building and went to the swimming pool as agreed upon as punishment to clean the swimming pool, he found that Suzuki Sonoko had already arrived.

The swimming pool is outdoors, with fallen leaves floating on the water and cleaning tools piled up by the pool.

However, Suzuki Sonoko did not start cleaning. She was sitting by the water playing with water.

She took off her coat and put it under her buttocks, and her little brown leather shoes were placed next to it, without socks inside.

Yuanzi put her white bare feet into the water and shook them gently. From a distance, it looked like a white carp swimming in the water.

Occasionally she would lift her feet out of the water, with water dripping down the skin of her feet, creating a scene like a dolphin emerging from the water.

Clear and clean.

Then she gently touched the water surface with her toes. This somewhat naughty action seemed to have a hint of ambiguity and teasing against the backdrop of her light pink nails.

Chen Nuo walked behind her and saw her expression reflected in the water. Her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about some difficult problem.

"What are you thinking?"

Suzuki Sonoko didn't look back. She looked at Chen Nuo from her reflection on the water and said calmly, "I wonder who the person who stole my socks is."

"I wonder if it was a small animal, such as a cat?" Chen Nuo began to speculate.

"What do you think that person would do after taking my socks back?" Suzuki Sonoko turned around and changed the topic. Her fair neck was twisted into a strange angle, and a piece of white tender flesh was exposed at the collar of her shirt.

Chen Nuo: "When you ask this kind of question, please don't look at me like a thief."

Sonoko took her feet out of the water and placed them on the tiles at the edge of the swimming lane. "But after thinking about it, I still think you're suspicious."

"Hasn't he been cleared of suspicion?" Chen Nuo's eyes subconsciously fell on the instep of Suzuki Sonoko.

The water droplets hanging on the skin of the instep reflect bright and dazzling light under the sunlight.

"By the way, why didn't Xiaolan come to school?" Chen Nuo changed the subject.

Sonoko: "I don't know. She didn't reply to my text message."

"Could something have happened?" Chen Nuo was a little worried.

"Let's go to her house after school?" Suzuki Sonoko changed the position of her feet and put her heels on the ground, as if she wanted to make the water on her skin disappear faster.

However, the fair and delicate soles of the feet were also exposed without any protection.

Chen Nuo glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

"Does it look good?" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly asked.

"Okay—hmm?"

There was silence for a few seconds.

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly picked up the mop next to her and started chasing after him barefoot around the swimming pool, shouting something like "You bastard, you stole it, didn't you?"

But after running a few steps, she was tripped by the cleaning tools she had taken out in advance.

Chen Nuo looked at her suspiciously from a distance: "Hey, you're not trying to trick me into coming here with this trick, are you?"

Suzuki Sonoko didn't say anything either. She just squatted there with her knees hugged, not saying a word.

Chen Nuo had no choice but to walk over.

Then we found that her knee was scratched by a stone. The wound was not deep, but there was a risk of suppuration if it was not treated.

"Can you still walk? Let's go to the infirmary?" Chen Nuo suggested.

Sonoko shook her head: "The teachers in the infirmary are off work."

Chen Nuo: "Let's go to the locker room. I have some medicine in my bag. Please apply it first."

Before Chen Nuo came, he put his schoolbag in the changing area next to the swimming pool.

"Ok."

At this time, Yuanzi no longer had the heart to compete with Chen Nuo because her legs were really hurting.

Chen Nuo glanced at the injury on her knee: "Can you still stand up? How about I help you?"

Yuanzi stretched her legs and said, "No problem, I can walk by myself.

The two were about to walk towards the locker room. Yuanzi turned slowly and almost fell into the swimming pool after taking two steps.

Fortunately, Chen Nuo was quick to pull her back.

Suddenly, Chen Nuo hugged her in his arms. The strong smell of male hormones on his body made Yuanzi's face blush, and she struggled subconsciously.

Chen Nuo: "Really? If you can't do it, don't try to be brave. If you fall into the water, I will have to go down and save you."

Yuanzi pushed Chen Nuo away with her hand: "No, I can walk by myself."

"Don't try to be stubborn at a time like this. You'll only cause trouble for others." Chen Nuo's tone became stern.

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the wound on her leg. This time she did not refute and let Chen Nuo support her to the locker room.

During the process, she secretly observed Chen Nuo's expression.

She noticed that he had a righteous look on his face, and was deliberately keeping his body far away from her, trying not to have any physical contact with her.

I feel...it seems a little different from what Shinichi said.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Chen Nuo's resolute face and became confused.
