I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

Chapter 126 Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan's ultimate move was tricked out.

Xiao Lan slowly woke up.

Her eyelids felt heavy, as if they were glued shut, and it took a lot of effort to open them.

The vision gradually became clearer from blurry.

The first thing that catches the eye is a flickering fire, casting a warm yellow light on the cave walls.

Then she felt the temperature, not the heat of the fire, but the temperature of the body she was pressed against.

She looked down and realized she was nestled in Lin Shen's arms!

Completely naked!

In an instant, Xiaolan felt as if her brain had been paused, and it took several seconds for it to start working again.

Then she suddenly realized that Lin Shen was also completely naked!

The two of them were pressed skin to skin, and she was held in his arms like a curled-up little animal. His arms were around her back, and the warmth of his palms seeped through her skin, so clearly that she was at a loss!

"Ah—!" Xiaolan's face turned bright red in an instant, burning from her neck all the way to her ears. She instinctively wanted to jump up and break free from this position that made her feel extremely ashamed.

But as soon as she moved her body and before she could even prop herself up, Lin Shen tightened his arms slightly and pressed her down.

Lin Shen's voice came from above her head, with a hoarseness like someone who had just woken up and a reassuring calmness: "Xiao Lan, you're awake? Don't move around too much."

Xiaolan froze, her face flushed crimson: "Club...club president...wh...what's going on?"

"You're very cold right now and need to keep warm." Lin Shen's tone was calm, as if stating a completely unambiguous fact: "You fell off the waterfall, you're soaking wet, your clothes are all wet."

"Hypothermia in the wild is no joke. Once the body temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius, a person will start to lose consciousness; if it drops a few more degrees, the heart may stop beating."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Although this isn't ideal, this isn't the time to worry about such things; saving our lives is the priority!"

These words startled Xiaolan.

Her mind gradually calmed down from the initial panic, and her memories began to flow back little by little.

Black bear, suspension bridge, plunge into the river, waterfall... icy water rushed in from all directions, and then she lost consciousness.

In that situation, if Lin Shen hadn't taken off her soaked clothes and used his own body heat to keep her warm, she might have actually died of hypothermia in this desolate wilderness.

Ran had learned basic first aid, and Shinichi had often mentioned it to her, so she knew how serious the consequences of hypothermia could be.

That's not just a matter of "getting a little cold," or even a matter of catching a cold; it can actually kill someone!

Understanding this, she stopped moving and understood why Lin Shen had done what he did!

If we don't do it this way, people could really die!

Despite her understanding, Xiaolan's blush didn't fade; in fact, it seemed to intensify.

She had never had this level of contact with any man in her entire life.

Let alone hugging like this, she rarely even holds hands...

Xiao Lan could clearly feel Lin Shen's breathing rhythm, the rise and fall of his chest, and the contours of every muscle in his arms.

She felt her heart beating so fast it was completely out of control!

Hmm? Ayako-neechan...

Ran realized something, and she raised her head slightly, seeing Ayako Suzuki.

Ayako lay on the other side of Lin Shen, receiving the same treatment as him.

Her breathing was steady, and she was clearly still asleep, but her complexion had returned to its normal rosy hue, and her lips were no longer pale.

The moment Xiaolan saw Ayako, the overwhelming sense of shame in her heart eased slightly.

At least she wasn't the only one naked; everyone was naked!

This reduced her sense of shame a little.

Xiaolan turned her head and glanced in the direction of the cave entrance.

The fire was burning brightly, its orange flames licking the dry branches and crackling.

Her, Aya's, and Lin Shen's clothes were neatly spread out on several branches near the fire, slowly being baked by the heat. Wisps of white steam rose from the damp clothes, slowly dissipating in the firelight.

Seeing that her clothes were indeed drying, her last bit of doubt disappeared.

Xiaolan lay down again, her body still very tense.

After a moment of silence, she finally mustered her courage and said in a very soft voice, "Um... President... could you... loosen your grip a little?"

Her voice grew softer and softer until the last few words were almost inaudible.

Lin Shen paused for a moment, glanced down at his arm wrapped around her back, and then realized what he had done. He quickly loosened his grip, his tone tinged with a rare embarrassment: "Oh, sorry—it's a habit, I always need to grab onto something to fall asleep."

Xiaolan's face flushed again, but she still softly said, "N-nothing..."

She was silent for a few seconds, then her voice rang out again, this time a little more steadily: "Um... thank you."

"If it weren't for you, Ayako-neechan and I... would probably be dead by now." Her tone was very serious, so serious that she even temporarily suppressed her blush.

Lin Shen turned his head to look at her, the firelight reflecting on his face. His expression held a hint of a half-smile, and his tone carried a touch of teasing: "Just saying thank you? I don't think that's very sincere."

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met Lin Shen's gaze.

Eyes facing each other.

The firelight flickered between the two men, casting swaying shadows on the wall.

Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat.

She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Then... how can I show enough sincerity?"

Looking at her shy yet earnest expression, Lin Shen found it quite amusing to tease her.

He deliberately dragged out his words: "Well... guess? You should be able to guess it easily."

Xiaolan's face was so red that even she thought it was exaggerated.

A fierce internal struggle was raging within her—shyness, nervousness, gratitude, and a vague, inexplicable impulse were all mixed together, making her brain work noticeably slower!

She felt she should do something to repay this life-saving kindness!

Finally, Xiaolan bit her lip, then took a deep breath, as if she had made a very important decision.

She reached out, dipped her hand down, and grasped the future in her grasp!

Her voice was so soft it was like whispering in a mosquito's ear, carrying an unexpected boldness and shyness: "...Like this?"

The smile on Lin Shen's face froze completely in that instant.

He only wanted to tease her a little, maybe get a kiss or something.

But he never expected that this would trick Xiaolan into using her ultimate move!

Xiaolan's sincerity was truly astounding!

His expression shifted several times in the firelight.

Finally, Lin Shen opened his mouth, then closed it again, then opened it again, and finally said in a very subtle voice, "...You...guessed right!"
