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

Originally, Ran Mouri would have felt lonely after Shinichi Kudo disappeared from school. But now that Lin Xiaofeng is by her side, she doesn't feel lonely at all; in fact, she's in a better mood than before.

11. Lin Xiaofeng was taken advantage of for free.

While Sonoko Suzuki was presenting the lesson materials, she deliberately remarked to Ran Mouri, "By the way, speaking of which, tomorrow is Valentine's Day."

"Oh my, oh my! Valentine's Day!" Ran Mouri couldn't help but recall the last Valentine's Day, which happened to be the day Shinichi Kudo played in the soccer league. Shinichi Kudo shone brightly on the field, and after the match, she wanted to congratulate him and give him some homemade chocolates.

As a result... he was overwhelmed by the swarm of Shinichi Kudo's female fans, and the chocolate even fell to the ground and got trampled. It was truly an unpleasant memory...

The crucial point is that when she later brought this up with Shinichi Kudo, she was severely mocked by him. It was so tragic.

"Ran, are you planning to make chocolates for Shinichi?" Sonoko asked.

"Who would send a dream to that kind of person! Besides, I don't even know where he is right now!" Xiao Lan said leisurely.

"Hmm... Shinichi is really awful. He went somewhere without saying a word and has been missing for so long." Sonoko also felt sorry for Ran.

Then, Sonoko turned her gaze to Lin Xiaofeng, who was watching her and Xiaolan.

"Lin Jun, do you have someone you like?"

"I...don't...have it yet..."

Actually, in the world of Detective Conan, Lin Xiaofeng has quite a few girls he likes. However, he can't quite bring himself to say who he likes. It's that feeling of liking each of them a lot, but not being able to pinpoint who he truly loves.

"I see... But Lin Jun is such a handsome guy, he must receive a lot of chocolates."

"It's not like..."

As it turned out... Sonoko Suzuki's words came true; during lunch break, Lin Xiaofeng really did receive a huge pile of chocolates.

Lin Xiaofeng didn't even have time to refuse before the table was piled high with chocolates from his female classmates.

As a result, Lin Xiaofeng successfully became the object of jealousy among the boys in the class.

As for who would be so foolish as to cause trouble for Lin Xiaofeng, there really isn't one. After all, Lin Xiaofeng is Suzuki Sonoko's friend.

Lin Xiaofeng wanted to stage a scene where he pretended to be weak to deceive others and then slapped them in the face, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Seeing the chocolates on Lin Xiaofeng's table, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect Lin-kun to be so popular; even I can't keep up with the crowd!"

Ran Mouri was both amused and exasperated: "Yeah... even more exaggerated than Shinichi."

……

After school, the two girls suggested going home with Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng found it strange; their homes didn't seem to be on the same route.

However, he didn't mind if the two girls wanted to accompany him home from school.

"Ah, speaking of which, Mr. Lin lives in that fourth-chome."

Suzuki Sonoki, with a mysterious smile, raised a finger and said, "The location of that haunted house dream."

"Haunted house?"

Ran Mouri's face seemed to tighten instantly, and she even shrank her neck, which surprised Lin Xiaofeng, who was standing next to her. Was she really that scared?

"Yes! Five years ago, the owner of a villa was murdered by a burglar. The murderer has never been caught, and his wife and children left this sad place long ago."

"In the five years that followed, the house began to make noise from time to time, with strange ghostly figures, terrifying sounds, and inexplicable will-o'-the-wisps appearing... Many people in the neighborhood saw it with their own eyes, which led to the rumors of it being a 'haunted house'."

Suzuki Suzuko's father spoke with great emotion and seriousness, recounting the details in a seemingly earnest manner. So frightened was Mori Shiran that she completely forgot her appearance and grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's arm.

"I don't want to hear it, it's terrifying!"

Ran Mouri rubbed her breasts against Lin Xiaofeng. You couldn't tell from her clothes, but when you rubbed them, you could tell she was quite large.

"Hahaha... Actually, I wanted to talk about something else. That was just a prelude." Sonoko Suzuki laughed cheerfully.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but sweat from Huang Dou's sweat; your introduction was a bit inexplicable.

"Tomorrow, Xiaolan and I are going to a Valentine's Day party. Lin Jun, come with us!"

"A Valentine's Day party? I didn't expect you guys to attend those kinds of parties."

Sonoko Suzuki said helplessly, "Sigh... A few weeks ago, a handsome guy named Kei invited me to participate, and I agreed."

Suzuki Yumeko said that if she had recognized Lin Xiaofeng earlier, she would never have accepted his invitation. Lin Xiaofeng is good-looking, but he's nowhere near as handsome as her. As a member of the "appearance association," she has never been able to resist handsome men.

“Yuanzi dragged me along, and I think we can invite Lin Jun too. I hope Lin Jun won’t refuse.”

Under the setting sun, Xiao Lan looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a charming gaze, and Lin Xiaofeng simply couldn't refuse.

"I……"

Lin Xiaofeng was about to agree immediately.

A car suddenly stopped at the side of the road. A burly man wearing a tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, which accentuated his muscles, ran out with a wide grin.

"Ah, Miss Mori, Miss Suzuki, I've been looking for you everywhere!"

"Who are you?" Lin Xiaofeng asked the burly man, puzzled.

Just as the burly man appeared, Lin Xiaofeng could feel Ran Mouri beside him shiver like a cat with its fur standing on end, and hide behind Lin Xiaofeng.

What's going on? Ran, whose combat power is off the charts, is afraid?

"Mr. Wakamatsu."

Sonoko Suzuki greeted the burly man cheerfully: "What do you need us for?"

"In fact..."

With a shy expression, Wakamatsu bowed to Ran and said, "I wanted to... invite Ms. Mori to go on a date with me!"

Xiaolan shook her head in distress.

Wakamatsu pretended not to see it and said to himself, "Miss Mori, would you like to come with me to the Valentine's Day party tomorrow?"

Just as Xiaolan was about to refuse, Sonoko interrupted.

"The party you're talking about, is it the one Mr. Jake invited me to?"

"Yes, that's the party."

"Oh, Xiaolan and I have already agreed, so you can rest assured."

Wakamatsu immediately started dancing with joy.

"awesome!"

Before Xiaolan could refuse, Ruosong drove off.

Xiaolan angrily said, "Yuanzi, how could you do such a thing again without my permission? You clearly know that the person I like is..."

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. Who is the person I like?

Shinichi Kudo? This missing person who didn't even show his face on Valentine's Day, what is it about him that I like?

Xiaolan felt increasingly lost in the world.

Sonoko patted Ran on the shoulder: "What does it matter? Lin-kun is here, let him shield you."

"Hey... Sonoko, don't cause trouble!"

Lin Xiaofeng felt like he had been taken advantage of by Suzuki Sonoko.

"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing, Lin Jun. From now on, I'll take care of your lunchboxes, so you won't have to squeeze into the convenience store anymore."

Sonoko Suzuki said this.

"Um... Miss Suzuki, are you an angel?"

"Hehehe..."

12. Conan is disliked by Ran, and Ran no longer insists on Shinichi.

Just as the three of them agreed to attend a Valentine's Day party together the next day, Lin Xiaofeng's intuition kicked in, and he discovered Conan Edogawa hiding behind them.

"Huh? Conan!"

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were both startled. They turned their heads and followed Lin Xiaofeng's gaze, and then saw the little kid desperately trying to shrink behind the telephone pole.

"Conan!"

The two girls shouted in unison towards Conan behind the telephone pole.

The kid who had been eavesdropping behind the telephone pole froze, realizing he couldn't hide any longer, and could only slowly step out and greet the three of them.

"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Yuanzi, and...Brother Lin Xiaofeng."

"Conan, what are you doing here? Why aren't you home?" Ran asked, looking puzzled.

"I was just... passing by... um... it was completely by chance!"

Conan is acting cute and silly, but he's obviously lying. He's actually worried that someone will ask Ran out on Valentine's Day, and then he'll be cheated on.

According to Murphy's Law, the more you worry about what will happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Ran glanced at Conan, not wanting to talk to him.

Conan, who was staying at her house, was always acting mysteriously, which made her uneasy, so she simply ignored him.

Lin Xiaofeng arrived home and said goodbye to Xiaolan and Yuanzi.

Sonoko got into the car driven by the butler who had been silently following her and left.

Only Ran and Conan are left.

Conan quickly asked Ran, "Ran-neechan, is it that despicable Lin Xiaofeng who took advantage of Shinichi-nii's absence to ask you out on Valentine's Day?"

Xiao Wulan glared at Ke Qinan: "Conan, what business is it of yours if I'm meeting with Ling Qi?"

Conan immediately said in a serious tone, "No, Ran-neechan absolutely cannot agree to this. If Shinichi-nii finds out that Ran-neechan is going on a date with another boy behind his back, he'll be heartbroken!"

Ran got even angrier after hearing this: "Fine... Conan! Did Shinichi send you to spy on me? I'm never taking you out to play again, you're so mean!"

Conan sobbed, "I didn't..."

I am Shinichi Kudo. The most poignant love story in the world is when two people are so close, yet cannot love each other. Ran-neechan, do you understand my heart?

Xiaolan snorted softly, "Lin Jun would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state. He's going to the Valentine's Day party with me tomorrow to protect me! Lin Jun is so gentle, I think I'm starting to like him..."

Upon hearing this, Conan was struck dumb, as if petrified.

Ke Liunan stomped his foot angrily: "No, no, no... this kind of thing is unacceptable! Waaah..."

Seeing Conan's heartbroken expression, Ran became even more certain that Conan had been bribed by Shinichi and was spying on her.

Initially, Ran found Conan cute and was very friendly towards him. However, now that Conan has been bribed by Shinichi and is spying on her, she finds it extremely annoying. No one likes being watched, and as a result, Ran is becoming increasingly indifferent to Shinichi.

……

The next day, Valentine's Day, Lin Xiaofeng tidied himself up, making a point of wearing his newly bought, handsome designer suit. Having earned 200 million yen, he needed to spend it wisely. He couldn't be like some transmigrators who, despite possessing mountains of gold and silver, didn't know how to spend it on enjoyment—that would be too foolish.

Lin Xiaofeng waited downstairs for a while, and Suzuki Sonoko's butler arrived on time in his car, with Ran and Sonoko in the car.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were captivated when they saw Lin Xiaofeng in his handsome suit. Lin Xiaofeng was already handsome in his school uniform, but now, dressed in adult clothes, he was even more mature and dashing, his charm irresistible; he was the most stylish guy wherever he went.

"Lin-kun, that kid is really handsome!" Sonoko exclaimed.

"Hehe... If Shinichi were here, he'd be insanely jealous." Ran imagined it; Shinichi, that petty guy, was so aloof towards her, yet he wouldn't let any other boys get close to her—it was really unfair. Now that Shinichi was missing, it didn't seem so bad.

"Uh... It's Valentine's Day today, and Shinichi didn't even say hello. That's so cold-hearted."

"Ignore him, let's do our own thing, and don't pay any attention to him anymore."

Thinking of you, I feel a little cold and annoyed. I don't want to doubt him.

The Suzuki car was very spacious; Lin Xiaofeng and the other two girls sat side by side in the back seat without feeling cramped.

"Miss Mori, Miss Suzuki, I'm here!"

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xiaofeng got into the car and glanced inside, feeling curious.

"Huh? Why isn't Conan here?"

Lin Qi, Xiao Ling, and Feng Ba all thought that Wu was Conan's son, and that little jealous dad insisted on getting up and following Xiao Lan, but in the end, nothing happened...

"What's that kid doing here?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, puzzled. "We're going to a Valentine's Day party, what's the point of bringing a child?"

"No... I thought Conan insisted on coming along."

Xiao Lan sighed, letting out a soft moan: "Lin Lin Junqia, you're right. Ba Ke Ni Nan insisted on coming with us, but I absolutely refused to let him!"
