Otherwise, how could a young man in his twenties possibly treat a seventeen-year-old high school student as a junior?
Poor Conan.
He didn't know that Xia Ye treated him as a junior not based on age, but directly on seniority. After all, as her mother Yukiko's husband, she was naturally a generation above him!
Conan "figured it all out".
His attitude towards Xia Ye (Wang Qianhao) has also improved a lot:
"Then I'll leave it to Brother Xia Ye!"
"Easy to say!"
Xia Ye smiled faintly.
Thanks to Yukiko.
He finally understood what it was like to raise a son.
This feels pretty good!
As for Eri's daughter, Ran—
Cough!
Girls and boys are different!
"Hey!"
As Xia Ye was chatting happily with Conan, Nachi Shingo, still wearing his blood-stained clothes, walked over, looking displeased at the matchstick that Conan had just played with, and complained:
"Don't touch other people's things without permission!"
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Before Xia Ye and Conan could speak, Xiao Ran, who had been watching them closely, quickly ran over, her pretty face showing apology.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Nachi. It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on Conan. I'm so sorry!"
"Yoho~"
Looking at Ran's adorable face, Nachi Shingo's expression instantly changed. He lightly tossed his hair and said narcissistically:
"You're so cute, I can't bear to scold you, haha!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Nachi..."
Xiao Lan tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a forced smile. She felt that this guy was incredibly greasy in both his actions and tone, a far cry from when he was saying sweet nothings to Xia Ye!
Again.
Xiaolan is just a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
Xia Ye isn't very skilled at romance, and her ability to say sweet nothings is also average.
That's why Xiaolan likes him; she's overjoyed to hear his sweet words. If it were a girl who wasn't interested in Xia Ye, she'd probably think his love talk was corny!
Chapter 204 Xiaolan: Let's just confront Mom!
Xiao Lan dismissed Zhi Zhenwu with a few perfunctory words and left.
Then he came to Xia Ye's side.
Conan, too lazy to watch his crush flirting and cuddling with Natsume, said he was going to find Uncle Mori and ran off to the filming location.
Xia Ye watched his retreating figure and chuckled softly:
"This kid has adapted to his new role now and is having a great time being a child!"
"Humph~"
Xiao Lan softly hummed in response:
"You still have the nerve to say that? Shinichi was poisoned by your organization and turned into this. What can he do if he can't adapt?"
"This has nothing to do with me. I tried to stop him that day, but he still went and provoked Gin. With that kind of personality, even if nothing had happened that day, he would have gotten into trouble sooner or later!"
Xia Ye did indeed want to change the plot, and even deliberately clashed with Gin and Vodka to make them leave the roller coaster early.
However, who could have imagined that even so, Shinichi Kudo would still set his sights on Gin and Vodka, and suffer a fatal blow from fate, ultimately being forced to drink poison.
"Of course I know!"
Xiao Lan blinked to indicate that she didn't blame Xia Ye.
She recalled what happened at Dorobiga Park that day, when Shinichi sneaked away under the pretense of buying a drink while she wasn't looking.
Xia Ye had already driven away those two terrifying men in black. It was Shinichi's own fault, so how could he blame Xia Ye?
"correct!"
What were you talking about with Conan just now?
They seem to be having a great time chatting~
Ran was very curious. Just now, Xia Ye was bending over and whispering to Conan, as if they had said a lot of things and seemed to be very close. If you think about it carefully, these two guys could be considered rivals in love. Why are they so harmonious today?
"I told him that he could come to me if he needed anything in the future, and that I would protect him. Also, if he happened to be at the scene of a case I was handling, he could stay and offer suggestions."
Xia Ye told him the truth.
There's no need to hide these things from Xiaolan.
Why are you suddenly being so nice to Conan?
Xiao Lan looked at him suspiciously and asked with some curiosity.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I stole someone's girlfriend, and I inevitably feel a little guilty. This is just a small compensation for him!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly.
He spoke in a way that was half true and half false, which served to explain his motives.
"Hate!"
Xiao Lan lightly punched Xia Ye.
Her pale blue eyes were full of reproach:
"I'm not Shinichi's girlfriend, so there's no question of stealing me. Besides, even if it's compensation, it's not just because of me, is it? What does Yukiko-neechan say?"
Xiaolan just recalled the events of that day at Dorobiga Park and remembered many details.
That day, Yukiko and Natsume followed me and Shinichi in disguise.
Yukiko wore a narrow strapless crop top and low-waisted patchwork hot pants. Her makeup was still quite heavy and had a seductive style. She looked even hotter and more alluring than the Tokyo Gyaru (a popular Japanese girl), and was incredibly sexy.
Dressed like that with Xia Ye.
Nobody would believe they're just ordinary friends!
They must have been having an affair back then!
Push it forward again.
They started dating after he won the karate championship.
At the celebration party, Yukiko got very drunk, and Natsume took her home. That's when the incident must have happened (acac).
Drunken promiscuity is a perfectly reasonable development.
Based on Yukiko's situation, it must have been an accident back then, but now, hmph, she's even moved into Natsume's house, she must have gotten hooked, hmph, isn't she afraid of being discovered by Shinichi!
"Cough-cough-"
Xia Ye looked at Xiao Lan's charmingly feigned anger and coughed lightly, saying:
"Of course, Yukiko also told me to take care of Shinichi, since his current situation is quite dangerous~"
"I knew it!"
Xiao Lan pouted.
This scoundrel claims he stole Shinichi's girlfriend and needs to compensate him, but it's really not his fault. He probably stole Shinichi's mother, which is why he was asked to take care of Shinichi!
It's like he suddenly wanted to please his father.
It doesn't really concern me much.
This scoundrel must have done a lot of bad things in Izu, and now he wants to make it up to Dad!
snort!
This womanizer who's always flirting with everyone!
Under Xiao Lan's intense gaze, Xia Ye felt a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, it wouldn't be too much for Xiao Lan to give him a few karate punches for his close relationships with many girls. Right now, she was just being coquettish and gentle, which was already quite mild!
only--
If she finds out about Eri Kisaki.
I wonder if she can still be gentle.
Anyway, Xia Ye was prepared to be beaten up by Ran, who had transformed into a Super Saiyan. After all, Eri's actions violated ethics and morality, and it would be impossible to get Ran to accept it without losing half her life!
Xiao Lan looked at Xia Ye's embarrassed expression.
He felt a secret satisfaction, but then muttered to himself:
Now you're feeling embarrassed, you rascal! When you were having your fun, why didn't you think about my feelings? Yukiko-neechan was already embarrassing enough, how could I possibly accept your Eri-neechan, such a strange existence, so easily!
Even with the influence of that lousy diary, these things aren't so easy to understand!
Xiaolan was actually quite troubled.
When she got home last night, she felt a little awkward being alone with her mother. It seemed like a complicated relationship had inexplicably arisen on top of their otherwise simple mother-daughter bond, leaving her unsure how to handle it.
after all--
Who knows how far those two people have gone?
What if they progress even faster than I do?
That's what you call embarrassing!
Fortunately, her frequent interactions with Yukiko and Vermouth had paid off, and Ran felt her acting skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Although she was conflicted inside, she remained outwardly the same as before and did not reveal any flaws.
only--
Xiaolan bit her lip.
Sometimes I think it would be better to just be upfront with my mom and let her experience how I feel. It's so unfair that I'm always making myself worry and get caught up in this dilemma!
Ahhhhh!
So annoying!
Xiaolan scratched her head in distress, snapping out of her thoughts.
She was originally going to pinch Xia Ye to vent her anger, but she found that the bad guy had run away very quickly. While she was thinking, he had already run to her father's side and was saying something. His obsequious manner made him seem extremely unprincipled!
hateful!
Xiao Lan pouted.
Just how many bad things has this scoundrel done in Izu?
Look at him like this.
It feels like I've done everything I was supposed to do.
Composing herself, Xiaolan regained her composure and approached Xia Ye.
The filming continues.
Soon it was evening.
The director announced that the afternoon's work was over.
The group began tidying up the filming location.
Xia Ye was chatting with Xiao Lan.
Then the director announced some good news with a smile:
original.
