Conan: The Heart Thief

The boy and girl were very close to each other, their eyes full of affection, and they kissed each other passionately.

Lin Xiao could clearly feel the softness and sweetness of the girl's body, and Xiaolan could also clearly feel the strength and heat of the boy's body.

The deep kiss that broke through the distance limit made both of them feel happy. They had kissed before, but it was just for acting. Now it was an expression of emotion, which was completely different. Dopamine was secreted and a feeling of pleasure arose naturally.

"Wait a minute...Lin Jun, I can't...stay in your room for too long."

Just as Lin Xiao was about to push Xiaolan down, Xiaolan suddenly said this.

"..."

Lin Xiao let Xiaolan go. It was not like he had never hugged a woman before, so he would naturally not go against her wishes.

"I'm staying with my mom tonight. If I leave for too long, she'll notice."

In fact, Xiaolan wanted to stay in Lin Xiao's room overnight, but because she was worried about being discovered by her mother, she had to go back obediently and could not stay overnight.

"Oh... In that case, you should go back quickly."

Lin Xiao didn't want to be disliked by Hibari, so he let Xiaolan go back... If it was another mother-in-law, he wouldn't think too much about it, but Hibari was different. He had to make Hibari like him, not just recognize him.

……

After the trip to Izu, Lin Xiao returned to Tokyo in a good mood.

Not only did he gain a lovely disciple, but he also got the recognition of Xiaolan's mother and successfully dated Xiaolan.

In this way, Lin Xiao successfully gained the recognition of Kisaki Eri and Suzuki Tomoko. He could boldly play two games at the same time, dating Sonoko and Xiaolan, and live a daily love life that everyone envied.

Back to school routine.

During lunch break, Xiaolan had unabashedly shown her affection for Lin Xiao and threw herself into his arms.

When Yuanzi saw this, how could she not understand what was going on? She subconsciously said, "I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."

"No, you came at the right time." Lin Xiao extended his hand to Yuanzi.

Seeing this, Yuanzi happily threw herself into Lin Xiao's arms. Lin Xiao openly hugged her left and right in front of her classmates in the class.

Masumi Sera thought that Xiaolan and Sonoko were going to perform a classic show of idiocy, but was slapped in the face by a "bang".

"Master, you are serious!"

“It’s not obvious.”

Lin Xiao behaved very naturally, as if it was natural to have two relationships at the same time. Bai Xue was the abnormal one, he could have the best of both worlds, so why not?

Of course, for Lin Xiao, this is not the end, but just the beginning...

……

Soon, it was the weekend, and a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped downstairs of Lin Xiao's apartment. This was naturally the car that Sonoko and her mother Suzuki Tomoko drove, and it was also equipped with a professional driver.

Suzuki Tomoko waved to Lin Xiao who was waiting downstairs: "Xiao Xiao, get in the car quickly."

Lin Xiao said "Oh" and got in the car.

The inside of the car was like a small business office. In addition to Suzuki Tomoko, Sonoko, Ran, and Masumi were all there.

"Every time I ride in such a luxurious car, I have different feelings and experiences." Lin Xiao used to think that luxury cars were nothing special, but now he realizes that luxury cars are amazing. They are more comfortable than ordinary cars, and in more ways than one. Poverty limits imagination.

"Everyone's here! Where are we going?"

Lin Xiao felt that he had an indissoluble bond with three pairs of mothers and daughters.

The five people in the car started chatting at once. It turned out that Sonoko's mother took everyone to the home of a Japanese tea ceremony master to taste tea, increase their knowledge of tea art, and improve their palace fighting skills.

……

Aoming Mountain. This is a well-known mountain in Japan, mainly because it is rich in tea forests. After Suzuki Tomoko's introduction, everyone learned that this entire tea mountain was the property of Aonoki Ryozo, and it was passed down from generation to generation by the tea master.

According to the rules, even if he is the son of a tea master, as long as he is not a tea master himself, he is not qualified to inherit the mountain. Conversely, only the next generation of tea master himself can inherit, even if this person has no blood relationship with the previous generation of tea master, is qualified to inherit the mountain.

"The tea party will be held in this mountain?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Yes, is there any problem?" Suzuki Tomoko was puzzled.

"No, nothing." Lin Xiao answered like this. But he was quite puzzled in his heart, because it was consistent with his memory.

When we reached a certain section of mountain road, the car was forced to stop as it was impassable and we had to walk.

Therefore, everyone got off the bus and walked. The driver drove back and would come back to pick everyone up at the agreed time.

It was not the first time for Suzuki and her daughter to come here. They walked in front to lead the way. Everyone walked on the gravel path and entered the mountain.

There is a small village hidden in the mountains. Looking around the small village, there are tea trees everywhere. The blue sky and white clouds, the environment is beautiful, and it is much more comfortable here than the steel forest where I usually live.

Entering the main building of the villa, someone was waiting inside.

"Teacher." Suzuki Tomoko called out.

"Hey? Mrs. Suzuki, you're here!" The old man was kneeling in front of a low table chatting with a man and a woman. Hearing the voice, he stood up in surprise and greeted them warmly. This person was the tea ceremony master Aonoki Ryozo. When he saw everyone, he asked, "Mrs. Suzuki, you brought so many children here today? Come on, please take a seat."

"Yes. I brought them here specially to learn about tea art and broaden their horizons."

"Hahahaha... no problem..."

Then, Tomoko Suzuki introduced the identities of the people present to the four children.

“Let me introduce you, this is my teacher, Aonoki Ryozo, the famous tea ceremony master.

This is the teacher's eldest disciple, Yagura Morio, an antique dealer.

This is the teacher's second apprentice, Yukari Mimura, the boss of a large company."

Ryozo Aonoki, a white-haired old man, has a rather immortal air.

Yagura Morio is a fat, bald man.

Yukari Mimura is a beautiful woman who is about the same age as Tomoko Suzuki.

Then, Suzuki Tomoko introduced the nanny who was pouring tea.

"This is the nanny Hanasaki Yoshiko who takes care of the teacher. She has been with the teacher for a few years and has some insights into the tea ceremony."

The nanny said modestly, "Mrs. Suzuki, you are too kind. I just have a simple understanding of it."

Aonoki Ryozo did indeed stare at Lin Xiao: "This kid looks familiar."

Lin Xiao touched the back of his head and said, "Teacher, this should be the first time we meet."

Sonoko said with a smile, "The teacher must have seen you in the media! You know, Lin-kun, you are now a popular high school detective."

As soon as Sonoko mentioned the high school detective, Aonoki Ryozo suddenly understood.

"Oh, yeah. So you're a famous high school detective. No wonder you look familiar."

Xiaolan praised: "Lin-kun is now more famous than Shinichi was back then!"

Masumi was also proud: "Master is amazing! Even the tea ceremony master recognized me!"

The difference is that the master's two disciples and the nanny all changed their expressions, as if they were afraid of Lin Xiao's title of high school student detective.

Chapter 176: Tasting Tea is worse than Tasting Foot

Masumi Sera picked up the tea that the nanny poured for her and took a sip. Suddenly, her expression became strange: "Huh? Why is it just plain boiled water?" There was no taste in the tea, and upon closer inspection, even the color was clear.

Where's the tea party we were supposed to have? Without any tea leaves, it's just a water party, right?

Nanny Hanasaki Yoshiko smiled and said, "Little girl, you don't know that in order to not affect the sense of smell and taste, we should try not to drink other teas before the tea party begins. It is best to drink boiled water."

"I see..." Sera Masumi blinked. She knew nothing about the art of tea.

The four children were talking to themselves, while the others gathered around the table to discuss the Grandmaster's retirement and the issue of succession. This was what everyone was most concerned about, as it related to the right to inherit the tea mountain.

"Teacher, have you decided on the candidate to inherit the position of tea ceremony master?" Suzuki Tomoko asked.

"In my heart, I was planning to pass the position of Grandmaster to Ryoichi." Ryozo sighed softly, "Unfortunately, he has never been interested in the tea ceremony."

Yuanzi approached Lin Xiao's ear at the right time and whispered, "Ryoichi is the master's son and has no interest in the tea ceremony."

Xiaolan asked strangely, "How can someone who has no interest in the tea ceremony inherit the position of the tea ceremony master?" Of course, Xiaolan spoke very softly. The person on the other side could not hear it.

"What if Ryoichi isn't interested?" asked Yagura Morio.

"It's not up to him. If I want him to inherit, then he must inherit!" Liang Zang said without question.

Lin Xiao and Zhen Chun's mouths twitched at the same time. How can this thing be forced on others if they don't want to be one?

"By the way, why can't I see Ryoichi?" Yukari Mimura asked curiously, looking around.

Liang Zang replied: "Ryoichi has a girlfriend and agreed to bring her over today for me to see. He just went out to pick her up and she should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman appeared at the door.

"Dad, I'm back." The man at the door said to Aonoki Ryozo.

This man is Ryoichi, the son of Grandmaster Ryozo, and the young woman next to him is his girlfriend.

The young woman had long hair and was quite pretty.

When Grandmaster Liang Zang saw the woman, his expression changed slightly. His eldest disciple Yagura Morio said with a smile: "Liang Yi. When did you find a girlfriend? There was no news at all!"

"That's right, even my sister was kept in the dark by you." Female disciple Yukari Mimura also joked.

The two apprentices seemed to be very familiar with their teacher's son. Liang Yi was a little embarrassed and laughed while scratching his head: "You didn't ask?"

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head with a shy look on her face.

Only Grandmaster Liang Zang had a very serious expression: "Liang Yi, is she really your girlfriend?"

"Of course, how could this be false? Dad, her name is Ha Ryeo Hye, she's a kindergarten teacher, and we've been dating for half a year.

Dad, didn't you always say that I should get married too?

I brought her here today. I hope you will agree to our marriage."

Everyone thought that Liang Zang would happily agree. After all, Liang Yi's girlfriend was quite pretty.

however……

Liang Zang shouted without question: "No! I don't agree to this marriage!"

The man and woman were both trembling. They didn't expect Liang Zang to disagree and be firm in his attitude.

"Dad, why? Rie and I are truly in love!"
