Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 135: Further Intensification of Relationship with Xiaolan

Thank you to Mi Fengjie from Tongtian Tower, Hu Laosan who likes Zibao, and /Zhuiguang/ for their love and dedication. Thank you for the flowers sent by "Does It Only You Don't Update". Thank you, boss.

Seeing her emotional expression, Su Xingbai was about to lose control again, but for the sake of his health, he suppressed his desires.

He released her mischievous hand, pulled her into his arms, and said gently.

"You are my woman. Even if I have more women in the future, you will always have a place in my heart, and that will never change."

He has always treated everyone equally and would never do anything like being fickle or abandoning someone for something new.

He treated every woman with genuine sincerity; he simply wanted to provide each of them with a strong and reliable safe haven.

Since it's a safe haven, it's definitely more than just a girlfriend, is there a problem?

Is there something wrong?

Hearing Su Xingbo's promise, Pu Siqinglan chose to believe him. After all, if Su Xingbo hadn't saved her, she would be in prison now.

And he didn't mind that she was a murderer, which was really touching!

Something seems off!

Su Xingbo took the last room on the second floor, a room with a great view, and let Pu Siqinglan stay there.

She chose it herself; the master bedroom is on the third floor, a space the size of two or three rooms. As for what it's used for...

Hey.

You can tell by looking at the size of the bed.

In the following days, Su Xingbo would often appear around Xiaolan intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes bringing her flowers, and sometimes inviting her to watch a movie.

Of course, they all used their own faces.

You have to use your own face when you're on a date, so what's the point of letting Ran see Shinichi Kudo's face all the time?

Ran hesitated for a moment, but always accepted. Conan watched with growing anxiety, and finally decided to secretly investigate what was going on.

My relationship with Xiaolan was developing rapidly every day, from watching movies and taking walks at first, to holding hands and strolling around the streets together affectionately.

If it weren't for Xiaolan's period these past few days, he felt he could have already plucked this flower he had been longing for.

Moreover, Xiaolan might not necessarily refuse; of course, these are all Su Xingbo's own thoughts.

However, when he makes physical contact with Xiaolan, she neither rejects nor refuses; she only makes coquettish sounds.

This shows that Xiaolan also has feelings for him.

Little did he know that he had already fallen into one of the three great misconceptions of men!

this day.

Su Xingbai successfully arranged to meet Xiaolan again.

What are we going to do today?

Su Xingbo hadn't thought of anything either, so he asked her again, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiaolan looked up and said, "How about we go to the aquarium? I haven't been there in ages."

“Okay,” Su Xingbai readily agreed.

"Thank you!"

The two arrived at the aquarium, and Xiao Lan looked at the various fish with childlike excitement. Su Xingbo followed her affectionately, occasionally telling a joke that made Xiao Lan cover her mouth and laugh.

"Do you know what Li Bai did there?"

"A poet? Hehe, that's no problem for me. I've studied a little bit of their culture too," Xiaolan chuckled confidently. (Please understand that we can't directly say "we".)

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

Xiao Lan questioned, "How could that be? Li Bai is a very famous poet. How could he be wrong, so wrong?"

"You don't understand, do you? Li Bai is a week, and a week is a Li Bai."

"Oh, so it's a pun!" Xiaolan said dejectedly.

Su Xingbai thought of another question, cleared his throat, and asked, "Do you know the idiom 'unanimously'?"

"Knowing means that even without prior agreement, everyone's opinions or actions are completely in agreement, right?" Xiaolan replied.

This time she was confident and waiting for Su Xingbo to praise her.

Unexpectedly, Su Xingbo still didn't praise her this time, but shook his head and laughed, "You're wrong."

"Huh?! What do you mean by going then?"

"It means exactly what it says. 'Without prior agreement' means without children."

"Well, you actually have such filthy thoughts? Humph, take this!" With that, Xiaolan raised her fist and charged towards him menacingly.

Su Xingbo nimbly dodged Xiaolan's punches, running and shouting, "Xiaolan, spare me! I won't ask little kids out anymore, I'll only ask you out from now on, okay?" Xiaolan was both amused and exasperated by his antics, and stopped chasing him after a while.

At this moment, Conan, who was secretly observing, clenched his fists, and tears of pain welled up in his eyes.

Conan followed the two of them the whole time, and the longer he followed, the more he felt something was off.

How did the two of them end up holding hands? He comforted himself by saying that Xiaolan's hands were cold and she just asked Su Xingbo to warm them up. See, she let go of his hand right away.

Wait, where is that hand going?! Why is it moving higher and higher?!

How did it suddenly turn into him putting his arm around Xiaolan's shoulder? There must be something dirty on Xiaolan's shoulder, and Su Xingbo was just helping Xiaolan get rid of it.

A minute has passed...

"It's alright, it's alright. It's just fighting something dirty, it'll take some time, that's normal," Conan reassured himself.

Five minutes have passed...

Damn it, why is that hand still on Xiaolan's shoulder? Damn it, it must be because Xiaolan's clothes are too dirty, so Su Xingbo is still hitting something dirty.

however.

Ten minutes passed...

Conan stared, his teeth clenched, at Su Xingbai's hand on Xiaolan's shoulder. Even if he was stupid, confused, or trying to convince himself, he knew what was going on.

but!

but!

Su Xingbo has a girlfriend, who is also the boyfriend of Xiaolan's good friend Yuanzi. Did he break up with Yuanzi and then start pursuing Xiaolan?

How abominable!

Conan wiped away his tears. He knew he had to take some necessary action; his heart simply couldn't take watching the two of them so intimately!

Just then, an alarm suddenly went off in the aquarium; it turned out that one of the fish species on display had gone missing.

The staff searched around and finally turned their attention to the tourists present, suspecting that the tourists were the ones who did it.

To make it easier for tourists to view the exhibits, the previous layout was changed, and now a series of water tanks are used for close-up viewing.

This has given some people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Su Xingbo didn't want to get involved in this unnecessary trouble and waste their date time, so he decided to pull Xiaolan away.

But Conan secretly sabotaged things by finding the staff and implying that they were highly suspicious.

And so, at the exit.

The staff stopped them.

Xiao Lan was a little scared, but Su Xingbo comforted her and said he was willing to cooperate with the search.

Neither of them had much on them. Xiaolan didn't even bring a bag with her when she went out; she only had her phone and some loose change with her.

Su Xingbai's situation was even simpler; everything was in the system space, and he had nothing on his person.

Both of them were wearing summer clothes, cool and breezy, so it was easy to tell that they hadn't hidden anything by turning their pockets inside out.

Seeing that the tickets weren't on the two of them, the staff member quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "Smith Marseille, it was my mistake. I've disturbed your enjoyment. Here are ten tickets for the aquarium. You can fill in any date you want to come. I'm so sorry."

Xiaolan is a very kind person. She pushed the tickets back and said with a smile, "No need, it's what you should do. But remember to check before asking next time."

"Thank you so much!" The staff member bowed again in gratitude, this time bending over more than 90 degrees, which was quite exaggerated.

Seeing that his attitude was alright, Su Xingbai didn't bother to argue. Besides, Xiaolan was there too, otherwise he would have already lost his temper.

The missing fish was eventually found on another tourist.

After Su Xingbo left the aquarium with Xiao Lan, he sensed that someone was targeting him and vaguely guessed that someone might be up to no good.

He felt a chill run down his spine. He looked back but didn't see anyone, but he knew something was wrong.

But he couldn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to send Xiaolan back and see if anyone was still watching him.

As Conan watched their departing figures, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in silent resentment!

I took Xiaolan out for a meal, and then dropped her off at her apartment building.

Xiaolan waved and smiled, "I had a lot of fun today, thank you for the invitation."

"Aren't you going to invite me up for a bit?"

"Um, okay, let's get on then." Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, Su Xingbo quickly moved closer to her and gently breathed into her ear: "Xiao Lan really is gentle."

"No way!" Xiaolan's face turned bright red from the breath.

The two walked upstairs hand in hand, opened the door, and went inside.

They found the room empty; neither Kogoro Mouri nor Conan were home.

Su Xingbo asked curiously, "Did Uncle Mori and Conan go to create a case?"

Ran didn't understand what "artificially caused a case" meant, and just nodded to herself, replying, "Dad went to deal with a divorce with Conan yesterday, and he didn't come back all night. He probably drank too much last night and hasn't woken up yet."

At this moment, inside a tavern in Gunma Prefecture.

Kogoro Mouri and Misao Yamamura had already sobered up and were now drinking their second round of alcohol.

Xiaolan brought him a glass of water from the kitchen.

"We don't have your favorite sherry at home, only some beer, and we're out of soft drinks, so we can only offer you plain water."

Su Xingbo took a sip indifferently. "Ah, plain water tastes pretty good too. It mainly depends on who pours it for me. If Uncle Maoli poured it, it definitely wouldn't taste good."

"Why?" Xiaolan asked curiously, sitting cross-legged next to him.

"Because I don't like him. I'm male, and I like women. I only like the water you poured, Xiaolan." Su Xingbo looked at him with a mischievous smile.

Xiao Lan's face visibly flushed again, making her look incredibly cute. Su Xingbo couldn't resist pinching her rosy cheeks.

Soft.

Q bomb.

No matter how much he pinched her, Xiaolan couldn't get enough of it, but she didn't get angry or slap his hand away.

She looked at him with a pitiful and wronged expression, which almost melted Su Xingbai's heart. He quickly let go of her and hugged her in his arms.

"Sorry, I hurt you."

Xiaolan gently shook her head, revealing a faint smile.

Seeing this, Su Xingbai could no longer suppress his impulse. He flipped over and pinned her behind him, then slowly lowered his head to kiss Xiaolan's lips.

Even if you run a red light today, remember that today is still a red-light day.

Then we need to take further action!

Xiaolan's eyes widened, momentarily at a loss, before she realized what was happening. She simply closed her eyes silently, slightly raised her chin, and pouted her lips slightly.

Just as I was about to touch it, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Xingbo frowned, looking displeased. Who was this idiot who dared to ruin his plans?

Never mind, let's kiss first.

"Xiaolan, are you home?"

The sound made Su Xingbai stop what he was doing, and he quickly got up and pulled her up as well.

Xiao Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to open the door.

Standing at the door was Yuanzi. She saw Xiaolan's rosy face, then looked at Su Xingbai inside the house, her eyes filled with doubt.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking so long to open the door? And Xingbai, what brings you here to see Xiaolan alone today?" Sonoko asked.

Xiao Lan stammered and couldn't explain clearly, but Su Xingbo calmly stepped forward.

"I came here to ask Uncle Mori for help, but he was busy, so I just stayed here for a while. If you don't believe me, touch my and Xiaolan's water cups, they're still warm. I didn't open the door right away because we were talking about something interesting, and Xiaolan and I were laughing so hard that I didn't hear you for a moment."

Sonoko was skeptical, but didn't think much of it.

After all, one was her good friend, and the other was her boyfriend with her sister; it was probably just a coincidence.

Conan quietly followed Sonoko into the house. He watched Su Xingbai and Ran's interaction with jealousy in his eyes.

Furthermore, Conan discovered that Su Xingbo hadn't broken up with Sonoko yet!!!

Su Xingbai is actually two-timing! It's amazing that Shinichi Kudo can tolerate this, but Conan Edogawa would never allow it.

If you break up with Sonoko and pursue Ran, he can only silently wish Ran happiness.

But if you do that, he absolutely won't accept it. However, if you say it directly, he's afraid Xiaolan will break down.

Xiao Lan must not know that Su Xingbo is still dating Yuanzi. Su Xingbo must have misled Xiao Lan into thinking that he had already broken up with her.

Otherwise, Xiaolan wouldn't have agreed to it!

That's right, that's exactly it! Unfortunately, it's all just his wishful thinking.

Just then, Conan pretended to fall accidentally and bumped into Su Xingbo. Although Su Xingbo was caught off guard, he was not someone Conan could knock down. He only took a small step back.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, big brother Kudo. I lost my balance and bumped into you." Conan stood up, dusted himself off, and apologized insincerely.

Ran quickly helped Conan up and asked him with concern if he was injured.
