Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

Ran chimed in, agreeing with Sonoko, "Yeah, Kaze. You don't think you can solve everything. That kind of confidence is good, but if you're too confident, you'll just become like Shinichi."

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but complain, "Xiao Lan, why are you suddenly using Shinichi as a negative example? Do you hate him that much?"

Ran sighed, "Yeah. Shinichi has already disappeared, so I should forget about him. But the thought of someone else becoming a high school detective makes me hate Shinichi even more."

· ······Requesting flowers· ···

Sonoko said, "Ran, no matter what, we can't take our anger out on Shinichi. Shinichi is a missing person whose whereabouts are unknown and whose fate is uncertain."

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened, sensing that Yuanzi's tone was one of respect for the dead, and that there was more to her words than met the eye.

"Sonoko, you seem to know a lot. How much do you know about Shinichi? Can you tell me?"

Sonoko said confidently, "I used all the resources in my family to find Shinichi Kudo. This guy has completely disappeared. All this talk about solving cases is a complete lie."

Sonoko wouldn't normally do something like this, but worried that Ran would compete with her for Lin Xiaofeng, she decided to use her family's connections to find Shinichi Kudo and give him to Ran. However… Shinichi Kudo wasn't even in Japan; he had completely disappeared.

...... ...... ....

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's incredulous expression, Sonoko continued, "I can guarantee that Shinichi Kudo is definitely not in Japan. If Shinichi Kudo were in Japan, I would definitely be able to find him. In addition, the Japanese Immigration Bureau has no record of Shinichi Kudo leaving the country. Therefore, I can confirm that Shinichi Kudo has completely disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts now. The whole 'investigating a case' thing is just a lie."

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he had underestimated Sonoko. With the Sonoko family's power, finding someone in Japan wouldn't be too difficult.

Lin Xiaofeng continued, "Then who exactly is Shinichi who has been talking to Ran on the phone?"

Sonoko replied, "Shinichi calls Ran anonymously every time, so it's impossible to determine whether the person calling Ran is Shinichi. Based on my investigation, the Shinichi who calls Ran is definitely not Shinichi."

Xiaolan showed a hint of fear and echoed, "Now, I won't answer any anonymous calls."

"Therefore, what's on your minds is that Shinichi Kudo has mysteriously disappeared."

Sonoko said dismissively, "Who would worry about someone like that? We're worried that you'll turn into Shinichi Kudo, Kaze."

Ran chimed in, "That's right. After all, you're replacing Shinichi Kudo as the high school detective, Kaze."

"Ran, Sonoko, you've completely misunderstood me."

Lin Xiaofeng was completely bewildered. How could he possibly have become Shinichi Kudo? The real Shinichi Kudo had become Conan Edogawa, who hated him to the core.

"Okay, okay. We didn't say you became Shinichi. You're still just a high school detective, not Shinichi yet. Don't panic."

(1) Erling Sanqi (4) Ba Ling (fierce)

"Yes, it's just worry."

The two women's explanations only deepened Lin Xiaofeng's confusion; what exactly had happened?

96. Early Summer Story

On the day of the Teitan High School Festival, the program for Class 2-B was a band performance, and the song they performed was their original song "Early Summer Story".

Eri Kisaki, upon learning that her daughter would be participating in the performance, made a special trip to Teitan High School to watch her. Yukiko also came with Conan; she had heard from Conan that Hayashi Kofuku was going to perform with Ran and Sonoko, so she brought Conan along.

Eri Kisaki and Yukiko met in the auditorium of Teitan High School and sat down together in an empty seat.

"Yukiko, we're really destined to meet."

"Eri! You must be here to see Ran's performance. I should have known I'd run into you."

"And you, Yukiko? Did you come to see your Shinichi?"

"Ah...no..."

Yukiko's face burned; she had actually come to see Lin Xiaofeng. She'd heard from Conan that Lin Xiaofeng had been spending all his time with Ran and Sonoko these past few days, and she was quite jealous. However, remembering that Lin Xiaofeng and the two girls were only rehearsing together for a performance, she calmed down.

"Yukiko-neechan came all this way just to see her future daughter-in-law perform," Conan said shamelessly.

"Future daughter-in-law?" Eri Kisaki looked at Conan, not quite understanding.

"That's right. Ran-neechan will definitely marry Shinichi-nii in the future, so Yukiko-neechan's future daughter-in-law will be Ran-neechan." Conan said, pretending to be an innocent child.

Yukiko chimed in, "Eri, you won't have any objections if your daughter marries my Shinichi, will you?"

Eri Kisaki chuckled: "Of course I have no objection."

"That's good." Yukiko clapped her hands with a smile, praising her best friend, Eri Kisaki.

“I have no objection, but Ran has to be willing too,” Eri Kisaki added.

"Ran, what's wrong? Shinichi only disappeared for a while, and she already likes someone else?" Yukiko pouted unhappily.

"Yukiko, you should know this, right? Recently, Ran has become infatuated with a classmate named Lin Xiaofeng." Eri sighed. She wanted to help Ran and Shinichi get together, but Ran might not listen to her.

"That classmate named Lin Xiaofeng is a very bad kid. Eri, you need to remind Ran not to let Lin Xiaofeng get close to her!" Yukiko added fuel to the fire.

"I know Lin Xiaofeng is a bad kid. But Xiaolan is completely stubborn and won't listen to me no matter what I say."

Eri pushed up her glasses, her expression turning serious.

"Yukiko, I'm not trying to criticize your Shinichi, but he's not a police officer. He's just a high school student. It's fine if he plays detective games occasionally, but why would he disappear for so long because of a case?"

"Yukiko, you have to get Shinichi back to Teitan High School right away and stop Lin Xiaofeng. Otherwise, my Ran will really be kidnapped by Lin Xiaofeng."

Yukiko was embarrassed. The one who tied the knot must untie it; the only one who could stop Lin Xiaofeng from getting close to Ran was Shinichi Kudo. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop Lin Xiaofeng. However, Shinichi Kudo couldn't show up because he had become Conan.

"No way... My Shinichi can't be in two places at once."

When Shinichi's disappearance was mentioned, Yukiko couldn't help but glare at Conan beside her.

If it weren't for Shinichi Kudo being a busybody, running after the man in black during our meeting, how could he possibly turn into Conan Edogawa?

All the trouble that followed was Shinichi Kudo's own doing, and it even dragged his mother into it, as she became obsessed with Lin Xiaofeng's strong and young body.

Faced with his mother's reproachful gaze, Conan lowered his head in shame.

Conan was filled with endless regret, but it was too late for regrets.

……

Backstage of the auditorium.

Xiaolan wore a tight-fitting white dress and a white mini skirt that boldly revealed her beautiful legs.

Sonoko wore a black mini-skirt and stockings, with the fabric on her upper body only covering her chest area, creating a highly attractive and sexy outfit.

Xiao Lan is pure and sweet.

The garden was dark and shiny.

Lin Xiaofeng was wearing a handsome suit, with Xiaolan and Yuanzi on either side of him.

Naoko Takei, the class monitor of Class 2B, looked at the three of them and exclaimed in admiration, "The three of them together are like gods, they are such a perfect match."

"Lin-kun, you're often with Sonoko and Ran, you're not dating both of them at the same time, are you?"

Naoko Takei asked in a low voice.

"How could that be? But I've thought about it too, unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet..."

"Lin Jun, you really dare to think that way."

Lin Xiaofeng and Takei Naoko's voices were neither too loud nor too soft, and Xiaolan and Sonoko both heard them and thought it was a very good solution.

Shinichi Kudo has completely disappeared, and Sonoko can't expect Ran and Shinichi to be together, so she asks Ran for her opinion.

Ran had long since stopped caring about Shinichi Kudo and had fallen for Lin Xiaofeng instead. When Sonoko found out, she told Ran that she also liked Lin Xiaofeng.

This is the dilemma between Xiaolan and Yuanzi. Both girls have fallen for Lin Xiaofeng and are struggling with what to do.

Having two girls as Lin Xiaofeng's girlfriends at the same time is indeed a solution, and both girls think it's worth discussing.

"Second Grade, Class B, please prepare."

Hearing the executive committee member's urging, everyone exchanged knowing glances.

"Okay, let's get ready to go on stage."

The three carried the musical instruments onto the stage at the command of their class monitor.

Naoko Takei, as the class representative, wasn't idle either; she was operating a laptop, and all that needed to be prepared were Sonoko's guitar and Lin Xiaofeng's keyboard. Ran, on the other hand, was focused on adjusting the microphone's height. Only when Lin Xiaofeng calmly reminded Ran did she remember that the rehearsal involved singing with a microphone.

After connecting the electric guitar to the equipment, Sonoko casually played a few notes to check its quality. The speakers on both sides of the stage vibrated with the sound of an electronic keyboard, and Sonoko couldn't help but shiver.

　1.3 "Sonoko, are you scared?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the garden and gave a tentative smile.

"...How could that be? It's nothing."

Sonoko said she's seen all sorts of big scenes.

"Ah-ah-"

When Xiaolan tested the microphone, a commotion resembling cheers and screams erupted from behind the curtain.

"Phew... Hmm, I'm ready."

"Me too, I can play anytime."

The two princesses, one black and one white, nodded to Lin Xiaofeng.

"OK, let's go then... By the way, class monitor, is there anything encouraging you want to say to us?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and looked at Naoko Takei.

"Well... thanks to you all, my job as class monitor is much easier now."

Naoko Takei smiled shyly.

97. The Strategist and the Lawyer

Next up—a performance by Class 2B—"A Tale of Early Summer."

As the emcee's announcement began, cheers erupted from the audience, a level of excitement that had never been seen before.

"It's finally about to begin..."

Xiao Lan gave a playful smile.

"Yes."

"Then, let's get started."

Lin Xiaofeng and Yuanzi were ready.

The three of them, having already formed a bond, stood in the center of the stage, with Lin Si, Xiao Feng, and Yuan Zi standing on their left and right sides. Facing the audience, they gazed intently at the curtain that was about to be drawn back.

Accompanied by keyboardist Lin Xiaofeng and guitarist Yuanzi, Xiaolan began singing "Early Summer Story".

The cheers from the audience at the start of the prelude grew even louder as the curtain rose.

The reason for the cheers was twofold: first, Xiaolan's gorgeous stage costume; and second, the captivating beauty of her singing.

Conan, sitting in the audience, was completely mesmerized by Ran's beautiful and sweet-voiced 17-year-old self.

"Sister Xiaolan, you are so beautiful! Sister Xiaolan is my future bride, I am so happy!"

In Conan's mind, he had already imagined his sweet married life with Ran.

However, in the scenario Conan imagined, the male protagonist doesn't seem to be him. He's just an observer, and the one who truly enjoys a sweet married life with Ran is Lin Xiaofeng.

"Ah! Lin Xiaofeng, you can't take my Xiaolan away!"

Conan gritted his teeth.

Yukiko and Eri Kisaki were no exception, immersing themselves in Ran's singing.

"It's so good! Eri, do you know this song?"

"I don't know...it's probably the latest pop song."

The other audience members were also discussing the song, "Early Summer Story," wondering if it was an original composition. For a high school student to create a song of this caliber was practically cheating.

The effect was more stunning than anyone could have imagined, sending a jolt through every audience member like an electric current. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the girl.

With her steady and reliable demeanor, Xiao Lan delivers an even more beautiful voice than ever before, continuing to sing for countless audiences.

After the second verse of the song began, the noise from the audience subsided, and they listened quietly to the performance on stage.

There is no doubt that "Early Summer Story" will become a viral hit online after the school festival ends.

After Xiaolan finished her performance, Yuanzi and Lin Xiaofeng each performed a solo on their instruments.

After the solo performance, the audience responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The performance was a great success, undoubtedly the most successful program of the Teitan High School Festival.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi gazed at Lin Xiaofeng with joy; their combined efforts had not been in vain. Xiaolan and Yuanzi's love for Lin Xiaofeng was impossible to hide.
