"Ah, are you talking about Shinichi-nii?" Conan looked at Yuzuru Hanyu in front of him, deliberately revealing a hint of joy in his eyes. "Shinichi-nii and I are related! I've always admired Shinichi-nii! But, I heard from Professor Agasa that Shinichi-nii seems to be dealing with an important case."

As Conan spoke, he took a few steps back.

Upon hearing Conan's answer, Yuzuru's face showed a surprised expression: "Really? So you two are relatives! No wonder you look so alike." As he spoke, he stood up and approached Conan step by step, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Conan's panicked expression, Yuzuru suddenly reached out and roughly ruffled Conan's hair. He'd wanted to do that to Conan's head while watching the anime.

Seeing this, Professor Agasa, who was following behind, hurriedly stepped forward and took over the conversation from Hanyu Nan, trying to help Conan out of the predicament: "Haha, that's right, Conan is indeed related to Shinichi. He's been staying at my house temporarily recently, and when he saw me rushing over, he came along too."

"Yes, yes..." Conan finally managed to break free from Yuzuru's clutches, secretly relieved, and gave Professor Agasa a grateful look.

Ran also noticed that the child in front of her looked very similar to Shinichi when he was young, but after listening to what Professor Agasa said, she didn't think about it any further.

"Doctor, if you receive another call from Shinichi, please remind him to send me a message," Ran gently instructed the doctor.

Hearing Ran's concern for him, Conan hurriedly tugged at Professor Agasa's sleeve and then asked in a cute, childlike voice, "Big sister is so pretty! Can I live with you, big sister?"

Although Professor Agasa wasn't aware of Conan's intentions, he still chimed in, "Yeah, Ran, you know I'm usually so careless I can barely take care of myself, let alone another child. So, could you please...?"

Seeing that Conan was considering living with Ran, Yuzuru spoke up to stop him.

After all, the purpose of coming along this time was not only to make a good impression on Ran, but also to prevent this lecherous brat from successfully moving into the Mori family's house.

Before Professor Agasa could finish speaking, Yuzuru Hanyu interrupted him in time:

"Ran is just a high school student. Asking her to take care of a child is too much to ask. Why don't we trouble you, Professor Agasa?"

After saying that, Yuzuru lowered his head, looked at Conan, and said in a slightly teasing tone, "Little friend, you must never stay at a stranger's house, you might be a bad guy who sells you out!"

Faced with Yuzuru's strange expression, Conan felt inexplicably flustered and could only manage a few dry laughs.

According to the original plot, Ran was actually not very willing to take care of Conan, but due to Professor Agasa's persistent pleas and Ran's kind personality, she found it difficult to refuse and had no choice but to agree to the request.

However, with Yuzuru's intervention this time, the situation changed. Ran seized the opportunity to echo his words:

"I'm so sorry, Professor. As you know, I not only have to take care of my father, but I also have to attend classes. I really don't have the extra energy to take care of Conan."

After being rejected by Ran, Professor Agasa was speechless, unsure of what to say next. He silently lowered his head, meeting Conan's gaze, creating an awkward moment.

Just as Conan was about to say something more, he heard Yuusuke say, "It's already so late. Now that we've confirmed that Kudo-kun is alright and just busy with a case, Ran, let's go home early."

After saying that, he glanced at his watch, indicating that it was indeed getting late.

"Oh well."

Ran nodded somewhat dejectedly, then turned to Professor Agasa and said, "Dad's probably nagging again, Professor Agasa. We'll be going now. If Shinichi calls, please make sure he sends me a message."

Then, she waved goodbye to Professor Agasa and left with Nanami Hanyu.

Watching Ran and Nanami walk further and further away, Professor Agasa and Conan looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

After they had walked away, Conan reached out and tidied his hair, which had been ruffled by Yuzuru. His gaze remained fixed on the two figures in front of him, but his heart was churning with turmoil.

"Doctor, do you really think that with this guy's intelligence, he wouldn't recognize me?" Conan asked thoughtfully, frowning.

"Huh? No way... I only managed to guess that you were Shinichi because you gave me so many hints!" Professor Agasa's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Is that so?" Conan muttered to himself, seemingly not entirely convinced by the professor's words.

...

Having successfully teased Conan and satisfied his wicked sense of humor, Yuzuru Hanyu expressed his approval.

After leaving the Kudo family home, he walked side by side with Ran, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

"Thank you so much, Nan-kun. Now that I know Shinichi is alright, I'll head back now."

Xiaolan said softly, while bowing slightly to Yuzuru to express her gratitude.

Yu Shengnan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the girl in front of him, whose graceful figure and elegant bow made her appear even more poised and graceful.

He thought to himself: Hmm, this bow is so beautiful and fair... oh no, this posture is so perfect!

Yu Shengnan quickly shook his head, silently repeating "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" a few times, trying to banish these distracting thoughts from his mind. Then he swiftly reached out to help Xiaolan up, smiling as he said, "Don't mention it, it's no trouble at all. What's the trouble between friends!"

Xiaolan smiled slightly upon hearing this, straightened her posture, and nodded gently in agreement. "That's right, we're friends."

Yu Sheng Nan checked the time and realized it was already quite late. "It's so dark, I'll take you home. It's not safe for you to walk alone at night."

Xiao Lan was a little surprised and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Ah, no need, my home is very close to here, no need to trouble Nan."

Yuzuru Nan insisted on his opinion, his attitude very sincere: "It's okay, how can we let such a lovely girl walk alone at night? Don't worry, I will definitely escort you home safely." As he spoke, he had already taken a step forward, gesturing for Xiaolan to follow.

Noticing that Xiaolan had unconsciously started addressing him more intimately, Yuzuru said he would intensify his efforts.

Seeing that Yuzuru insisted on taking her back, Xiaolan could only nod gently in agreement.

Silently following behind Yuzuru, but another thing kept coming to mind.

Shinichi Kudo, that self-important idiot, actually made her go to see him alone so late at night, and he still hasn't called her back! Thinking of this, Ran felt a little gloomy and sad.
