Stay away from Conan.

In this way, Xiaolan suddenly recalled the incident.

But later, as she experienced more and more things, Xiaolan also felt that Xinyi must have been busy with other things, so he rarely had the chance to come back. He would know the recent events, and there was a high probability that someone He was told this, and this can be seen from the reactions between him, Mr. Akechi, Dr. Agasa and others every time Shinichi appears. There should be occasional contact between them.

In this regard, Xiaolan couldn't help feeling even more depressed——

If it weren't for the gift on White Day, I wouldn't even have a way to contact Shinichi...

"Ah, no..."

At this moment, when Xiaolan was thinking wildly, Shinichi's voice on the other end of the phone continued to retort in a somewhat hasty manner:
"Children's romance is just like measles. It's nothing to make a fuss about. Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Such a careless and indifferent attitude inevitably made Xiaolan, who was already depressed, even more unhappy, so she couldn't help but said angrily:
"Shinichi! Can you be more serious?"

In response to this, Shinichi on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about it, and then replied:

"Then...you should stop prevaricating and face yourself honestly."

"Be honest with yourself?"

After hearing this somewhat decent answer from Shinichi, Xiaolan couldn't help but think about it.

"In this case, you can probably find the answer on your own."

Immediately afterwards, Shinichi on the other end of the phone said.

Then, before Xiaolan could respond, Shinichi on the other end said hurriedly:
"That's it for now. I haven't finished the case at hand yet. I'll call you when I'm free..."

After saying that, Xiaolan heard the phone being hung up.

Xiaolan, who had just been thinking about this, was a little depressed when Xinyi hung up the phone again. Seeing that the caller ID clearly showed the number of a public phone, Xiaolan was helpless:

"What! It seems like I didn't say anything in the end..."

Then, after thinking about it for a while, Xiaolan couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on her face——

Sure enough, you shouldn't approach this guy Shinichi for this kind of thing...

Thinking like this, Xiaolan thought about who else to turn to when considering such a thing...

……

"Hey...it should be me who should be honest with myself..."

At the same time, on the other side of the phone, Conan hung up the public phone and walked alone on the way back to the detective office, with a look of confusion on his face——

Regarding what he just answered Xiaolan, he was a little confused.

Now, in order to hide his identity, in everyone's eyes, he is Conan after all, not Kudo Shinichi, so Kudo Shinichi's feelings should not be applied to Conan...

However, he is indeed Kudo Shinichi...

Thinking of this, Conan felt very helpless. In order to ensure that he needed to hide his identity, then his feelings for Xiaolan should also be restrained.

But now, Xiaolan actually sees Conan's feelings for her. This is really...

Inexplicably, Conan had the urge to confess directly to Xiaolan, but after thinking about it, he could only sigh helplessly, and then, somewhat aimlessly, Conan walked to the front of Akechi's house——

After all, there are some things that we can only talk to Mr. Akechi and the others here...

Thinking of this, Conan went forward and pressed the doorbell, and saw that it was Xiao Ai who came out to open the door——

"Is there a problem?"

Xiao Ai was a little confused about Conan's visit.

"Is Mr. Wise not here?"

Seeing this, he found that Gao Yuan was not seen here, so Conan couldn't help but ask.

"He has something to go out."

Xiao Ai replied calmly.

"There are just some things that I want to discuss with you..." In this regard, although Gao Yuan is not here, if Xiao Ai is here, Conan feels that he can have a serious conversation about the current situation that makes him somewhat helpless——

"Xiaolan, I seem to have noticed... I have something special about her..."

Lowering his head, Conan was a little shy, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but tilted her head in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand what Conan meant:
"What's the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan? You are childhood sweethearts, right? So she can notice that you have some special feelings for her, so it's nothing to be curious about, right?"

After a rough analysis, Xiao Ai said this.

However, Conan shook his head solemnly and sighed:

"No... I don't know why, but Xiaolan seems to have noticed that Conan Edogawa is treating her..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ai's expression changed slightly, as if he noticed something, and couldn't help but murmured:

"So... the lady from the office just now came to Gao Yuan to discuss things?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Conan was also stunned——

Xiaolan came to Gao Yuan to discuss something?

In this regard, Conan thought that Xiaolan had specifically sent an email to him to talk about something today. After he made a call, Xiaolan actually noticed that Edogawa Conan had feelings for her, and then he was helpless to prevaricate. After a while, Xiaolan came to see Mr. Mingzhi again for discussion...

"No! Xiaolan must have noticed something!"

A little nervous, Conan couldn't help saying.

"possible."

Similarly, Xiao Ai, who seemed to have the same idea as Conan, nodded solemnly——

"Do you know where Xiaolan and Mr. Mingzhi went?"

Conan asked anxiously.

"do not know……"

Xiao Ai said this, then seemed to remember something, and then replied:

"But I can find out!"

With that said, Xiao Ai reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist...

……

"Huh? Conan seems to have fallen in love with you? And... Xiao Ai still cares about me?"

At this time, in a cafe, listening to what Xiaolan was explaining to him, Gao Yuan could not help but reply with some surprise at first.

"yes……"

It seemed that she felt extremely confused and perplexed by what she heard from Mitsuhiko and Ayumi today. Xiaolan was now in a slightly depressed mood, and nodded in response:

"So, I don't know what to do... Shinichi told me to 'face myself honestly', but..."

Saying that, Xiaolan raised her head, looked at Gao Yuan and said:
"I know that Conan likes me, but I still don't know how to face Conan... Mr. Mingzhi, if you tell me, how would you deal with the fact that Xiao Ai cares about you?"

As if because of Ayumi's words, she felt that Gao Yuan might be able to understand her situation, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.

Gao Yuan thought about this and couldn't help but say:
"Well... I can actually understand it. After all, children, or people, are born to be close to people who can bring them a sense of security. For example, Xiao Ai is entrusted to me by her sister to take care of her here in Tokyo. She will care. I'm very normal, and so is Conan. His parents are abroad, so it's natural that you, Xiaolan, who has been taking care of him, will be taken care of by Conan!

"And the so-called 'like' is actually a very complicated issue. For children, it's hard to say how much their like will be. Just like Xiaolan and Kudo, the relationship between you is a matter of experience. How long has it been? Today, how do you think of each other when you were still children?"

In this way, listening to Gao Yuan's words, Xiao Lan was stunned, as if suddenly like cherry blossoms, she entered the scene where she met Kudo Shinichi for the first time——

That is the story of Sakura Class when they were still in kindergarten...
