Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui: "It seems like you already guessed it?"

“Of course, although Ms. Akiko didn’t say it, I could tell from her attitude.” Ran’s face showed the expression of a detective making a deduction. “It must be because you were too nervous when you brought me here that people misunderstood you.”

No, actually I just told you directly that you are my girlfriend.

Wen Shui thought to herself, but said aloud, "Wow, amazing. She can actually guess the truth of the matter just by looking at the other person's reaction. No wonder she is the daughter of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

"You're exaggerating too much. It's like you're playing with a child." Xiaolan raised her long, beautiful leg and gave Wenshui a coquettish side kick.

The warm water easily passed over her and caught her slender ankle.

Because her condition wasn't serious, and Xiaolan was in a drowsy state, she didn't change into a hospital gown, but she did wear the disposable slippers provided by the hospital.

The oversized slippers that didn't fit were thrown out by inertia.

The girl's soft, bare feet were exposed to the air, her neatly trimmed toenails resembling exquisite seashells, shimmering with a captivating glow.

Wen Shui smiled: "I'm relieved to see you so energetic."

Xiaolan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she struggled a little: "How can you test me like this? Besides, I already said I'm fine, so let go of me now."

Wen Shui loosened her ankle, then picked up the slippers from the floor and handed them to her, before sitting down on Xiao Lan's hospital bed.

"Oh, right, don't completely ignore what Akiko said either," Ran suddenly said.

"Huh? Do you mean I have to be your boyfriend?" Wen Shui was surprised.

Xiaolan sat on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, gently swinging her two fair legs, and said with a smile, "No, that's not it. I just think you can totally consider the suggestion of being nicer to me, Wen Shui Jun."

Wen Shui couldn't help but rub her forehead: "How can you be like this? Okay, now it's my turn to ask, right?"

"Okay, go ahead and ask." Xiaolan sat up straight, her expression serious.

Wen Shui: "You didn't seem surprised at all when Ms. Akiko said that Aunt Yukiko is my mother."

"What's so surprising?" Ran shrugged. "It must be Aunt Yukiko playing a prank. It's not the first time she's done something like this."

Wen Shui never expected that Kudo Yukiko's unreliable personality would indirectly help him out of a predicament.

At least I won't get into trouble for calling a classmate's mom.

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. I thought I'd have to go through a lot of trouble to explain it to you."

"By the way, why hasn't Aunt Yukiko come back yet?" Ran glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table in the hospital room.

Wen Shui: "I wonder, could we have encountered a paranormal event?"

"Huh?!" Xiaolan froze instantly, her face pale as she grabbed Wenshui's sleeve. "Don't say such scary things, Wenshui-kun."

Wen Shui slapped her forehead, only then remembering that Xiao Lan was afraid of supernatural events: "I was just kidding, there are no monsters here at all."

Ran reluctantly agreed, "That's right, this is Kanagawa Prefecture. I'm from Beika Town, so even if there are monsters, they can't do anything to me."

Huh? So that's how you convince yourself you're not afraid of monsters?

The angle looks really tricky.

Wen Shui noticed that Xiao Lan was still a little uneasy, so she advised, "Why don't you go lie down on the bed? You won't have to worry if you cover yourself with the blanket."

Perhaps there's a saying in this world that monsters can't get in if you hide under the covers, so Xiaolan immediately kicked off her shoes, crawled under the covers, and wrapped herself up tightly.

Wen Shui sat on the stool by the bed, looking at the half of her face that was exposed, and sighed:

"At least take your nose out; the air inside the blanket is unhealthy."

"Oh right." Xiaolan showed her chin, then suddenly realized, "I don't have any strange smell on me, you can smell me if you don't believe me."

Warm Water: "I didn't say that... huh?"

Wen Shui noticed that Xiao Lan had lifted the corner of the blanket and clothes beside her, revealing a dark and mysterious space inside.

"That won't be necessary," Wen Shui shook her head.

Xiaolan looked surprised: "Huh, you actually refused? I was prepared to make a small sacrifice."

“That kind of preparation was completely unnecessary,” Wen Shui said with a wry smile. “Besides, I know what you smell like.”

"W-What does it taste like?" Xiaolan suddenly lowered her voice, her delicate eyelashes trembling slightly.

Warm water: "It has a pleasant fragrance that makes you feel at ease."

Xiaolan's face was now mostly hidden under the blanket, with only her eyes showing.

Seeing this, Wen Shui changed the subject: "By the way, what did you see in the restaurant just now? Why did you suddenly faint?"

call out

Xiaolan tucked her head directly under the covers, only revealing her cute little horns: "Nothing, I'm just a little sleepy."

Wen Shui grabbed Xiao Lan by the corner and pulled her out of the blanket: "You just said that lying will lower your image score, you know."

Ran sighed: "Well, actually it's the rainy weather today, and seeing Aunt Yukiko and her friends just now, that reminded me of the time I went to America with Shinichi."

I vaguely remember seeing someone in the rain, but I can't quite recall who it is.

Wen Shui nodded.

It seems the plot is still similar to the original work, and the man Ran vaguely refers to should be Shuichi Akai.

At the time, Shuichi Akai was hunting down the injured Vermouth abroad, but he failed to catch her. Instead, Ran and Shinichi Kudo encountered Vermouth.

Then, when Vermouth fell off the railing, Ran saved Vermouth, who was disguised as a thug.

This incident also had a huge impact on the storyline of Detective Conan.

However, Wen Shui couldn't say these things to Xiao Lan.

He could only pretend to suddenly realize something: "No wonder Ms. Yukiko's friend looked at you strangely at the hotel just now. It turns out you two had met before."

Xiaolan nodded gently: "I only met her once. She was also disguised as a local police officer to help us out of a predicament. Shinichi's mother was speeding when she was driving, which scared me to death."

Wen Shui: "Indeed, she scared me half to death on the way here."

Wen Shui was referring to the incident where he grabbed Kudo Yukiko by the hair, and she almost crashed into an oncoming truck while struggling.

However, they all mean roughly the same thing.

"Why do you seem so indifferent?" Xiaolan sat up, hugging her knees with a strange expression.

Wen Shui asked in confusion, "What are you concerned about?"

Xiaolan said with a resentful look, "Generally speaking, wouldn't you be curious if you heard that the girl you've been interested in recently went on a trip with someone else?"

Wen Shui: "Am I that stingy? Besides, we used to travel a lot, didn't we?"

"That's true, but this reaction is a bit disappointing." Xiaolan hugged her knees with a displeased expression, looking at Wen Shui with an expectant look.

Wen Shui sighed, "Okay, I care about it now."

"I didn't notice at all." Xiaolan mercilessly exposed his lie.

Wen Shui thought for a long time, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "I know, it's like when I sometimes can't get fried noodles or bread at noon, and I watch you guys eat it, right?"

Xiaolan: "So, I'm just a fried noodle bread?"

Wen Shui thought for a moment, then this time she took direct action, pinning Xiao Lan against the hospital bed: "You're my fried noodles bread, you can't be thinking about anyone else. Is that okay?"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes: "Don't say such weird things, and besides, your hand is on me."

"Feel sorry."

"I can't press down there with my hands..." Xiaolan used fighting techniques, but the bed was too narrow, and she was still at a disadvantage.

The two of them struggled on the hospital bed.

Finally, it was Mei-chan's groan that made Wen Shui realize that things were spiraling out of control, and he quickly snapped back to his senses.

Seeing that Xiaolan's eyes were glazed over, it was clear that she had little resistance left.

Wen Shui was a little scared, but thankfully she reacted in time. If Uncle Mori and Eri Kisaki had seen this, she would probably have been seriously injured, if not killed.

Wen Shui looked at Mei Jiang gratefully, gently patted its pink cheeks, and then released Xiao Lan.

Suddenly freed from her restraints, Xiaolan quickly came to her senses and noticed the unusual sensation in her chest. She quickly pretended to rub her shoulder to cover up her embarrassment: "You jerk, you hurt my shoulder."

Wen Shui: "Excuse me, would you like me to give you a massage?"

"Another massage?" Xiaolan remembered what had happened before and took a step back.

"Don't worry, it won't be that intense this time," Wen Shui said.

Xiaolan: "But I'm a little sleepy."

"It's okay, go to sleep then," Wen Shui said softly. "You won't stop me from massaging you even if you fall asleep."

Xiaolan had a speechless expression on her face.

How could she possibly fall asleep while someone was massaging her body? Besides, she was really worried that she would wake up in the middle of the night and find that she had become Xiao Wenshui's mother, which would be a real problem.

Just then, approaching footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Wen Shui quickly got out of bed and straightened her disheveled clothes.

Xiaolan quickly tidied up the messy wrinkles on the bed, then wrapped herself in the blanket and pretended to be sick, even though she was actually almost fully recovered.

dong dong.

With a crisp knock on the door, the female doctor with long curly hair walked in carrying a folder of medical records.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?" The female doctor walked to the bedside to observe Xiaolan's expression. "Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiaolan: "No, no, it's just a little hot."

The female doctor looked puzzled: "It's hot, why are you covering yourself with a blanket?"

Xiao Lan was flustered and stammering, so Wen Shui quickly helped explain: "Uh, it's like this, I was afraid she would catch a cold, so I made her cover herself with a blanket."

"Being too hot isn't good for your health either," the female doctor said reproachfully to Wen Shui, then looked at Xiao Lan, "By the way, have any of your family members come? We need a family member to sign something."

Xiao Lan looked at the warm water.

Wen Shui shook her head: "I've already notified them, but it'll probably be a while before they arrive."

The female doctor frowned slightly and said to Wen Shui, "I see. But I have other things to do later. Then come with me to sign some papers."

Wen Shui: "Me? Can I say that we're not related by blood?"

"It's nothing," the female doctor smiled. "It wasn't a serious illness to begin with. The patient is already cured; it's just a formality."
