Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

"Let's go eat. I have to go back after we finish eating, otherwise your dad will call again."

"What to eat?"

Qingze took out his phone and searched for restaurants on Dianping (a Chinese review platform).

"Let's go to this Western restaurant."

It's nice to change things up once in a while and have some Western food.

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko sat dejectedly in the restaurant by the window.

"Sigh, not only has Haibara stopped playing with us lately, but Conan has also stopped playing with us and won't let us go see him..."

Genta muttered to himself, feeling that the eel rice in his bowl no longer tasted good.

"Conan's family has had some issues lately, it's just something we couldn't help it with." Mitsuhiko was quite understanding of Conan's predicament.

Ayumi swung her toes and sighed, "Yeah, even the professor's house is surrounded by reporters, and Ai won't let me go see her..."

Mitsuhiko looked at Wakasa Rumi beside him.

This is their new assistant head teacher who came a while ago.

They met on the street and helped the teacher find her forgotten handbag, which led to this dinner.

"Ms. Wakasa, they took a few days off. Will they go to school tomorrow?"

Rumi Wakasa tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes crinkling behind her glasses.

"Probably, they didn't ask for leave tomorrow."

"It's been three or four days, the reporters should have left by now." Mitsuhiko reasoned, then looked at his two friends and suggested, "Let's get up a little earlier tomorrow and go to Professor Agasa's place to pick them up so we can go to school together!"

"If reporters come to harass us, we'll chase them away!"

"it is good!"

The three children regained their energy and shouted in unison.

On the road next to it, a car parked in a parking space. Qingze got out of the car and glanced at the Western restaurant across the street.

This is the right place.

The reviews say the steak here is very good.

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan!"

Ayumi, with her sharp eyes, spotted the person outside the window through the glass.

Several people's eyes immediately turned to that direction.

Since Conan moved out of the agency, they haven't seen Ran much. So when they saw Ran on the street, their instinct was to go out and say hello.

Several children jumped down from their booths, opened the restaurant door, and ran outside.

Rumi Wakasa sighed helplessly, told the waiter that she hadn't finished eating and not to clean up, and then went out with him.

Qingze was a little surprised to see the three little kids. When they called out to him, he greeted them in the same manner as Ran Mouri.

"Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, what are you doing here?"

"We're out having fun."

"Sister Xiaolan, are you out playing alone?"

"No, there are also my friends."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up and looked at the people who were walking around the car.

Ran Mouri glanced at the three children, then immediately looked around to make sure Conan and Ai Haibara weren't there, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She walked over to Qingze, smiling, and asked:

Who are these children?

Two people wearing the same sweater stood together, and the three children stared in surprise.

Who is this handsome older brother?

Are they wearing matching outfits?

Are they dating?

The children's eyes lit up with gossip.

“They’re children I know.” Qingze smiled faintly.

Hello!

Ran Mouri bowed and greeted them gently.

Her eyes curved slightly, like a handsome older brother next door, gentle and approachable, without any aggression.

Ayumi was instantly captivated and asked excitedly:

"Big brother, are you Sister Xiaolan's boyfriend?"

Ran Mouri glanced at Aoze and a smile crept onto her lips.

"Not now, but it will be in the future."

"Wow!"

Several children exclaimed in surprise.

What a romantic declaration!

Qingze: "..."

as long as you are happy.

Qingze maintained his fake smile, glanced at the people behind the three children, and narrowed his eyes.

"This is?"

"This is our Ms. Wakasa, our assistant homeroom teacher," Mitsuhiko introduced.

"Hello, my name is Ran Mouri." Aoze extended his hand.

"Wakasa Rumi, the children's assistant homeroom teacher."

Rumi Wakasa smiled and reached out to shake his hand back, but their hands parted as soon as they touched.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ran Mouri said goodbye, "We're going to eat now, kids, see you next time."

"Bye-Bye!"

The three children watched as the two walked into the Western restaurant across the street.

Entering the store, Ran Mouri found a quiet corner to sit down and asked curiously:

Why did you take the initiative to shake hands just now?

Given Qingze's personality, he would never take the initiative to shake hands with someone.

It's not a formal meeting, so there's no need to shake hands.

But Qingze took the initiative to extend his hand.

"It's just my intuition; I feel that woman is not simple."

"intuition?"

Ran Mouri didn't find anything unusual about it.

"Intuition is actually a comprehensive product of a person's experience, knowledge, wisdom, and learning in the mind. It is a reminder from the subconscious, so I have always trusted my intuition."

Chapter 336 I don't really want to bring up those things

Qingze, holding the food, casually answered Ran Mouri's questions while ordering.

"And I've confirmed that. That Rumi Wakasa is probably not an ordinary elementary school teacher..."

Because his relationship with Ran Mouri was exposed, he became wary of all strangers around him.

Even elementary school teachers who seem to have no connection to Ran Mouri.

So I reached out and tried it out briefly.

"How to say?"

“Her hands had a lot of calluses, which is not what a normal primary school teacher should have.”

There are so many calluses, it's like he's practiced with many weapons.

Ran Mouri stretched out her palm to look at the hand that belonged to Aoze.

After using medication recently, the calluses on my hands have become very thin; you can't feel them unless you touch them carefully.

The scars on my body have almost faded, and they will be completely gone in another two days.

Should I find an opportunity to invite Dad to a hot spring to completely dispel his suspicions...?

In the restaurant across the street.

Rumi Wakasa was also asking several children about the two of them.

"Who is that Ms. Mori?"

"She's the daughter of the great detective Kogoro Mouri! Conan used to stay at Ran's house."

"And what about that gentleman?"

That man looked vaguely familiar to Rumi Wakasa.

"Hey? We forgot to ask that older boy's name!"

The three children looked at each other, realizing that none of them knew who the older boy was.

It wouldn't be appropriate to go over and ask again just because of a name, as it would disturb their date.

"Conan definitely knows! Let's ask Conan!"

Mitsuhiko took out his phone.

Conan was eating when his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that a tuft of hair on his head was drooping down.

He stared at the keywords "Xiao Lan" and "couple outfits," feeling a pang of sadness welling up inside him.

They're already together?

He gripped his phone tightly and stared at it for a long time before replying with difficulty.

That person's name is Qingze.

"What's wrong, Shinichi?" Yukiko Kudo frowned as she looked at her son, who had suddenly lost his spirit.

Conan put away his phone, even the food beside him lost its flavor. He remained silent for a while before speaking, his voice hoarse and strained:

"Xiao Lan and Qing Ze are together..."

Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo, who were at the dinner table, were both stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other in silence.

How should I comfort my son in this situation?

There's no way to persuade her...

"So your name is Qingze."

The three children who received the information wrote down the name.

Qingze?

Rumi Wakasa also noted down the name.

……

Qingze slowly cut his steak. When he was inside his body, he didn't have much of a appetite; he was just eating as if it were a task to be completed.

But it's different when it's Ran Mouri's body.

Food is one of the quickest ways to get positive feedback.

There is no delayed gratification, only immediate taste sensation.

If there's nothing that absolutely requires him to return to his own body, he'd be quite happy to be Ran Mouri.
