Conan: The Heart Thief

Lin Xiao answered casually.

"I'm not talking about these. I want to ask you why you are so familiar with Kudo Shinichi's mother. She even claimed to be your girlfriend and specially invited you to her home. It's so weird."

"It's nothing. Kudo Shinichi's mother was just joking with me."

"wrong."

Apparently, the female high school detective is not so easy to fool.

"Kudo Shinichi is missing. You know about this, right?"

"OK."

"Kudo Shinichi's parents returned to Tokyo because of this matter. His father was busy with this matter, and I took over the care of his mother who had no one to take care of her."

"So... Kudo Shinichi has entrusted his mother to you."

"Well... to be precise, it's the Kudo father and son."

"The Kudo father and son trust you so much, you are really loyal enough."

"Yes. Kudo Shinichi is my good brother, this is what I should do."

"oh oh."

Masumi Sera suddenly realized, and her evaluation of her respected master improved further.

……

On the beach in the afternoon sun, Masumi Sera, who had just swam in the sea, took off her swimming goggles for snorkeling and returned to the beach under the umbrella.

Lin Xiao and Mao Lilan, holding hands, also emerged from the sea.

"I'm so happy. I'm so lucky to have Lin Jun."

Mao Lilan's face was full of smiles. Although she failed to bring her parents back together, she was really happy to meet Lin Xiao and Sera Masumi by chance and to be able to play with her classmates.

"I am also very happy!"

Lin Xiao gently stroked Mao Lilan's face. This angelic girl must be taken as his principal wife.

Kisaki Eri, who was lying under a beach umbrella, saw her daughter and her classmates returning to the beach from the sea, so she stood up, raised her hand and called them over.

"You must be tired. I bought some watermelon, come and eat it."

"Watermelon!" Mao Lilan took Lin Xiao's hand and ran to her mother.

"Lin Jun, do you want to play the watermelon game?"

"I won't play the watermelon game anymore. Watermelons in Japan are so expensive. It's such a waste."

"Ok."

Four people sat in a row under the parasol, happily eating watermelon. It was really refreshing to eat watermelon on a hot day.

As for the duo of Kogoro Mouri and Conan, the former went to chat up young girls, while the latter didn't dare to be alone with Eri Kisaki and no one knew where he went.

After eating the watermelon, Zhenchun and Lin Xiao continued to go snorkeling, but Xiaolan did not follow them, but stayed to talk to her mother.

At this moment, Xiaolan carefully asked Fei Yingli: "Mom, if Lin Jun and I are together, would you object?"

"No." Hibiki Eri replied simply.

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned by Kisaki Eri's answer. She was against it before, so why did she become open-minded now?

"Yukiko has been asking me to help bring you and Shinichi together, but Shinichi has been missing for so long, and there's no news at all. How can I trust a man like him? Even if Yukiko asks me to, I don't intend to accept it..."

"I told you long ago. Shinichi and I are just childhood sweethearts. Aunt Yukiko is overthinking it." Xiaolan laughed happily. It would be better for a young man who was dealing with Sherlock Holmes and incidents all day long to spend his whole life with cases instead of harming little girls.

However, Kisaki Eri immediately poured cold water on Xiaolan.

"Since Xiaolan has someone she likes, I should officially divorce your father."

"what!"

"Because your father and I haven't officially divorced yet, I can't start a new relationship. Xiaolan already has someone she likes, and I should pursue my own happiness."

"Mom, can we not get a divorce?"

Xiaolan's obsession made it impossible for her to accept her parents' divorce.

……

In the sea, Lin Xiao and Sera Masumi were diving and playing.

Sera Masamune floated on the sea and asked Lin Xiao beside him.

"Master, why didn't you bring Xiaolan with you?"

"You really can't read the air. Xiaolan obviously has something to say to her mother."

"Oops. I was careless."

Shira Masumi felt inferior to Lin Xiao and felt that he still had a lot to learn from him.

"Master...who will be my master's wife, Xiaolan or Sonoko? Master, have you thought it through?"

"Think it through."

"Who?"

"Of course it's both."

"Scumbag!" Sera Masumi retorted without a second thought, "Master, no girl will like you with this attitude!"

"I'm not a scumbag, I'm philanthropist."

"Heh... No wonder the master has been single all this time. He is just greedy and has nothing left."

"Disciple, if you don't understand, don't make random assumptions..."

"Isn't what I said the truth? Who in modern Japan is willing to accept the person they like having two relationships at the same time?"

"Okay. I admit that what you said makes sense. As my disciple, shouldn't you try to help me?"

"You want me to help you, Xiaolan and Sonoko get together? How can I allow such a thing?"

"Not only Sonoko and Xiaolan, you, the disciple, must help the master to build a harem. In return, the master will teach you all the knowledge of reasoning."

"Go to hell. Master, you are such an idiot."

Shiliang Zhenchun was really surprised. She didn't expect Lin Xiao to be such a person. She was so angry that she pushed Lin Xiao into the sea and asked him to reflect on the dirty garbage in his head.

……

At night, in the quiet corridor of the hotel's accommodation floor, Xiaolan, wearing pajamas, knocked on Lin Xiao's door.

At this moment, Lin Xiao had already fallen asleep and was wondering who it was.

When I opened the door, I saw the angel-like beautiful Xiaolan, and I was immediately overjoyed.

"Xiaolan, why did you come to see me?"

"Lin Jun, I can't sleep, I want to talk to you..."

"come on in."

The two sat on the bed and talked intimately.

Xiaolan told Lin Xiao that her mother was planning to formally divorce her father. She felt sad and threw Xiao Zhenzhu back.

Lin Xiao didn't know how to comfort Xiaolan. After all, it was someone else's family, and it would not be a good idea to persuade them to reconcile or break up.

"Xiao Lan, I think that in matters of the heart, apart from the parties involved, everyone else is an outsider, so it's better not to interfere."

"But...Isn't it all in vain that I've been working so hard to bring my parents together?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the story of supporting each other."

"what is that?"

"That is to say... the spring dried up, and the two fish were stranded on land together. The two fish exhaled and spit at each other to moisten each other."

"The behavior of these two fish is really touching."

"Although these two fish appear to be kind and loyal by sharing weal and woe, it would be better if, when the lake is full, they each swam back to their own rivers, lakes, or seas and forgot about each other from then on, which would be more leisurely and free."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xiaolan realized that her thoughts were too narrow. Her parents were just torturing each other by staying together reluctantly. It would be better for them to let go and return to the vast sky.

Chapter 175 Xiaolan, I like you!

Under the warm light in the hotel room, a man and a woman knelt on the bed, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin... After I figured it out, I feel much better." Xiaolan looked shy.

"Xiaolan, I'm glad you've figured it out." Lin Xiao looked at the cute Xiaolan and felt dry mouth.

"Um... Mr. Lin, I have something else I want to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"My mother recognizes you."

"Eh?"

"Before, my mother was very opposed to me being with you, but now, she doesn't object anymore."

"So..." Lin Xiao's heart moved, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Well... I don't know what Mr. Lin thinks of me." Seeing this, Xiaolan became even more shy, her little face became rosy and white.

When asked this question, Lin Xiao blurted out without thinking: "Xiao Lan, I like you!" Now is not the time to be reserved. He must take advantage of the right atmosphere and do it in one go.

"Ah?!" The sudden confession scared Xiaolan and she was at a loss for a moment.

"What's wrong? Xiaolan, didn't you ask me?"

"...I...didn't expect..." Xiaolan didn't expect that when she asked tentatively, Lin Xiao would confess to her directly. She was too happy to react. If she had asked this question to Kudo Shinichi, he would definitely have ridiculed her. Fortunately, she no longer cared about Kudo Shinichi.

"Um...Xiaolan, what do you think?"

"Yes. Lin Jun, I like you too!"

Xiaolan has liked Lin Xiao for a long time, otherwise, she would not have let Lin Xiao kiss her and touch her breasts before.

When Lin Xiao heard Xiaolan's answer, he couldn't help but hug Xiaolan.
