Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 518 Not even pregnant? Being too strong is a problem too!

An opera singer had a throat injury and was waiting for surgery, but later gave up the surgery.

He was cured thanks to the pills he got from the old man.

So which opera singer is that?

①: Soprano

②: Alto

③: Tenor

④: Bass

The prompt is: what is the English word for surgery?

This is the riddle posed by Professor Agasa.

Although Kitahara Natsuyu knew the answer before he transmigrated, he had no idea where it was cold, which is understandable since he wasn't a local.

"This is so difficult!"

That's exactly what I mean.

"I have absolutely no idea."

"Ran, do you know the answer?" Sonoko asked.

Xiao Lan said, "I don't know either. This riddle is really hard."

"But Conan, the way you're looking, does that mean you already know the answer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Conan.

Upon hearing this, Conan straightened his back, raised his head, and revealed a smile that exuded an air of complete control—his signature smile.

Just as Conan was about to begin his deduction and reveal the answer to everyone, someone walked over and gave the answer to the riddle before Conan could speak.

"It's a soprano!"

Reiko Akiba walked over, holding a thermos in her hand. After speaking, she took a sip to moisten her throat.

Upon hearing this, Conan's smile vanished instantly, his face fell, and he seemed to have all his energy drained away.

This situation is like someone telling a corny joke or riddle before Professor Agasa, stealing his thunder.

This is what Conan looks like now.

He had already started preparing his speech, but that woman, Akiba Reiko, was so unethical that she blurted it out.

It's just too much.

"Eh, soprano, why?" Sonoko asked, puzzled.

Now I know the answer, but I don't know why it's this answer; I'm still completely confused.

At this moment, Conan got excited again, thinking he had another chance to appear.

Then Sera Masumi stood up and began to speak eloquently.
Akiba Reiko, who was standing nearby, also added a point at the opportune moment.

And so, Akiba Reiko and Sera Masumi, talking back and forth, stole all of Conan's screen time.

At this moment, Conan was completely out of sorts, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if he would collapse at the slightest touch.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Vermouth, and Ai couldn't help but chuckle when they saw Conan's expression.

Because the three of them knew Conan so well, and they also knew the pathetic habits of detectives.

Detectives love reasoning. If you can deduce the entire process of a case before a detective does, he will feel uneasy, as if he has lost his soul.

And now, Conan has lost his Tamashi!

After listening to the explanations from Akiba Reiko and Sera Masumi, everyone suddenly understood.

However, after explaining everything, Sera Masumi's face was full of smiles, even revealing her fangs, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Conan with a hint of provocation.

She did it on purpose.

"This riddle is a bit difficult for children, but it's a bit boring for adults," commented Akiba Reiko.

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa slumped his eyes and remarked, "I'm sorry, my riddles are boring."

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter, and even Professor Agasa was infected by the laughter, scratching the back of his head and laughing.

Indeed, smiles are contagious.

So here's the question: who else in this place isn't laughing?

The answer is naturally Conan; only Conan didn't laugh.

Is it that you don't want to laugh, or that you're unwilling to laugh?

"Conan, what's wrong with you?" Ayumi was the first to notice Conan's unusual behavior and asked him with some concern.

Among this group, Ayumi is the one who cares most about Conan.

As for Vermouth, her godmother, Kitahara Natsuhiro, her stepfather, and Ran, her childhood friend, none of them cared much about Conan.

This is truly true love!

Unfortunately, Conan isn't interested in children's pretend romance; his heart belongs only to Ran, and can only belong to Ran.

So at this moment, he thought of another man who haunted his dreams and whom he longed for day and night.

The man who attacked her at Dorobiga Paradise!

To this day, he still doesn't know the man's name, but his voice and appearance are deeply etched in his mind and he has never forgotten them.

He will remember this for the rest of his life!

"No, I'm fine."

"That's good." Ayumi's heart was finally at ease. "I thought you were sick, but I'm relieved now."

"How could I be sick? I'm perfectly healthy."

As he spoke, he showed off the muscles on his arms.

Unfortunately, he had no muscles in his arms at all.

And at that moment, he suddenly sneezed.

A sneeze
Ayumi and Conan were both momentarily speechless with embarrassment.

Especially Conan, who just said he wasn't sick, and now he sneezed, doesn't that prove he was lying?

This forced Conan to quickly offer an explanation.

"That...it must be someone talking about me behind my back."

"Yes, yes, yes, there are people talking about you behind your back, but don't be stubborn, Conan." Ayumi smiled sweetly.

After saying that, she ran to Genta and Mitsuhiko's side.

"Why don't you try responding to Ayumi, Conan?" Sera Masumi walked over, squatted down, revealed her fangs, and smiled playfully.

"Huh?" Conan was stunned when he heard this. When he saw Sera Masumi so close to him, he subconsciously took a step back.

"I didn't even notice when this guy came to my side."

"And what do you mean by letting me try to respond to Ayumi?"

"Please, I like Ran!"

"Um..." Conan feigned ignorance, speaking in a tone meant to deceive a child, "Sera-neechan, what are you talking about?"

Why did she say these things to me, and with that look in her eyes? Did she notice something was wrong?
At this moment, Conan noticed Sera's genuinely amused expression, an expression that shouldn't be used on a child.

so.
Thinking of this, Conan's heart sank. He then began to ponder whether he had been too conspicuous lately, which was why Sera Masumi had noticed something was wrong.

That's not right. I've been behaving myself lately and haven't done anything too outrageous.

Or perhaps Sera Masumi discovered something at the crime scene!

After all, I could fool Inspector Megure, Ran, and even others by using a tranquilizer dart to anesthetize Uncle Kogoro Mouri, but I might not be able to fool Sera Masumi, who is also a detective.

Because he also discovered that Sera Masumi possessed a remarkably keen eye for observation.

It seems I need to be more careful when solving cases in the future.

If possible, he didn't want anyone other than his family and Hattori Heiji to know his true identity.

Too many people knowing about it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he still needs to prevent more people from knowing about this.

But can it really be kept secret?

While Conan was dealing with Sera Masumi, Vermouth and Kitahara Natsuhiro were having a quiet conversation.

"It seems Sera Mary and Sera Masumi have already figured something out," Vermouth said softly.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu couldn't help but laugh: "They're not blind, how could they not see it?"

"And one is a detective, and the other is a former MI6 agent. If they can't even tell that, then they really should give their eyes to someone who is useful."

"Aren't you implying that Xiaolan can donate her eyes?" Vermouth couldn't help but laugh.

This smile made Ai, who was standing next to him, laugh as well.

Because Conan's acting was so full of holes, neither Ran nor Sonoko, who grew up with him, noticed anything amiss, which was really funny.

“I didn’t say that.” Kitahara Natsuyu pursed his lips. “Maybe Ran and Sonoko already knew, but they’re just pretending not to.”

"Even Kogoro Mouri knows, but he's just playing along with Conan's act."

In his previous life, some netizens speculated that Kogoro Mouri actually knew that Conan was Shinichi Kudo, but for some reason, he didn't say it, thus making himself famous and wealthy.

Although he gained both fame and fortune, there was still a price to pay.

For example, if someone develops drug resistance to anesthesia, the anesthesia will be ineffective at the hospital, and the person will still experience pain.

“I don’t think this man knows Conan’s true identity,” Vermouth said, offering a different opinion.

"Why?" Ai asked instinctively.

"There's no reason why, it's just intuition."

"Intuition." Ai pouted, but didn't say anything.

Because sometimes a woman's intuition is quite accurate, but sometimes it's completely wrong.

Moreover, in the current situation, it seems that Kogoro Mouri truly doesn't know Conan's real identity.

As an outsider, there's no need for her to say anything more about this.

"What are you talking about?"

Just then, Akiko Yonehara, who had gone to chat with Reiko Akiba, came over and asked, seeing the three of them huddled together.

Although she wasn't particularly close to Vermouth, they were still somewhat acquainted and were like sisters.

She is the older sister, while Vermouth is the younger sister.

Akiko Yonehara is the official wife!
However, Vermouth is probably much older than Akiko Yonehara, which she doesn't know.

Vermouth didn't care about such a small matter. Being a younger sister was fine; it made her seem younger too.

No woman doesn't wish to be young, ideally forever eighteen, frozen in the prime of her youth.

"Well, I didn't really say anything. But if you really want to know, I can tell you." Kitahara Natsuyu paused before speaking.

Hearing this, Vermouth and Ai seemed to understand something, but neither of them spoke.

"Sigh, it seems like it's still some kind of secret, you're making it all very vague." Akiko Yonehara rolled her eyes at him: "Tell me, what are you talking about? Share it with me."

"can."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded, then pulled Yonehara Akiko to a corner.

The people nearby also saw this scene and couldn't help but look over.

"What's wrong with them?" Sonoko asked, puzzled. "Did they have a fight?"

It's truly rare for Kitahara Natsuhiro to argue with his girlfriend.

Because she had never seen Kitahara Natsuhiro blush and get angry with his girlfriends.

As for why Kitahara Natsuhiro, with so many women, never argued, she was quite puzzled.

After all, she was just a high school student and really didn't understand these things between adult men and women.

“No,” Vermouth said, “I’m just preparing to whisper some things that we can’t hear.”

"What are you whispering about?"

"Do you want to listen to something between a man and a woman?" Ai asked with her arms crossed and a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko shook her head violently: "Then I'd rather not listen."

This is definitely a topic for adults.

In the past, if Vermouth had known that Kitahara Natsuhiro was going to tell others about Kudo Shinichi's secret, she would have strongly opposed it.

But now, it doesn't matter whether we say it or not, because there are already too many people who know that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, so one more like Akiko Yonehara won't make a difference.

She also believed that Akiko Yonehara would not reveal this secret, and even if she did, no one would believe her.

Even if some people do believe it, she believes that Kitahara Natsuhiro will handle everything well.

The power of extraordinary beings is not limited to matters of men and women!
At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko had arrived at the entrance of the concert hall.

There was no one there, and it was quite quiet. Everyone else was gathered over there on the other side of the stage, so far away that they couldn't hear anything unless someone deliberately came over to eavesdrop.

"What exactly is it?" Akiko Yonehara asked in surprise. "You can't tell me from so far away."

"Could it be that one of them is pregnant?"

Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

If possible, she also wants to have children, after all, she is not young anymore and it is time to get married and have children.

However, judging from Kitahara Natsuhiro's current state, he has no plans to get married.

Since she's not getting married, having a child is fine too; she doesn't care about marriage certificates or weddings anyway.

Because she knew very well that Kitahara Natsuhiro had always loved her deeply and was willing to give everything for her.

After all, even as a concubine, Edogawa Fumiyo was able to obtain a billion yen in start-up capital. If she wanted the stars in the sky, Kitahara Natsuhiro could probably get them for her.

Of course, she wouldn't make such an excessive and unreasonable request.

“No.” Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head: “None of you, including you and other women, are pregnant.”

"Sigh," Akiko Yonehara said, feeling both happy and disappointed.

So if no one is pregnant, is it because you're incapable or because we're incapable?

But as things stand, it's you who's not up to the task!

"..." Kitahara Natsuyu saw into Yonehara Akiko's mind and said irritably, "It's not that I'm incapable, nor that you are incapable, it's just because of some special reasons."

"But that's not the time to talk about that. Let's talk about Conan!"

"Conan? What happened to Conan?"
