"Lan, don't be afraid." Feeling her friend's timid grip on her hand, Sonoko leaned close to her friend's ear and whispered, "Jingguang-nii isn't scary at all. He just has that expression, but he's very gentle, and very patient."

"Really?"

"Really, Lan, you believe me."

"Well, Sonoko, I believe you, so I'm not afraid anymore."

"Hehe, you can call me Jingguang brother~"

The two girls finished their whispers, and then Xiao Yuanzi took her friend's hand and introduced her to the passers-by: "This is Miss Yuanzi's best friend, Mao Lilan."

"Hello, Maori boy."

Jingguang squatted down. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, the hands that were caressing Xiaolan were very warm.

"Well, hello, Brother Jingguang."

Because Sonoko did not introduce Jingguang's last name, Xiaolan had to follow Sonoko and call him by that name.

"By the way, Ran, do you want to come to my house and play with me? Dad, Mom, and sister are not here, and Jingguang brother will play with us~"

"But, but..."

"Don't worry, let's go play together~ Okay, Lan?"

Faced with her friend's request, Mao Lilan softened her heart. She looked in the direction of her mother and said, "Well, then I'll ask my mother."

"Well, I'll go with you."

Jingguang stood there and watched the two little girls go back hand in hand to the lady with glasses and ponytail, and said something. Then the two children ran over cheering happily, and he knew the result.

Over there,

"Mom, can I go to Sonoko's house to play today?"

Xiao Yuanzi also added: "Aunt Yingli's parents are not here today, I'm alone and want to play with Xiaolan..."

The little girl is very shrewd and is very good at playing the victim.

Mao Liying was also relieved that Xiaolan and Yuanzi would play together, so she nodded and agreed, but she still reminded her: "Xiaolan, remember not to come back too late. If you need your parents to pick you up, you must call mom, okay?"

"good."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely take care of sending Xiaolan back on time!"

Miss Sonoko patted her chest and assured.

"Thank you, Sonoko."

"Hehe~"

"Is that guy going too?"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the side.

Um?

Sonoko and Xiaolan turned around in surprise and found that it was the new kid today, Kudo Shinichi.

"Yes, Brother Jingguang is here to pick me up, so of course he will go back with me!"

Sonoko said with her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction. She was a little unhappy with the strange tone of disgust that the boy used when he mentioned his beloved brother Jingguang.

"Then I want to go too!"

The young boy blushed and spoke eagerly.

Suzuki Sonoko: “???”

Mao Lilan: "Shinichi-kun?"

Yukiko Kudo: "Shin-chan? What are you talking about? Didn't we make an appointment with dad to have a nice meal tonight?"

"You go with daddy. You two are always so affectionate and forget about me. I don't want to go! I want to go to her house."

The young boy quickly retorted, secretly glancing at Xiaolan, then glancing at Jingguang with inexplicable hostility.

???

The young man Jingguang was at a loss, I seemed to be stared at?

He also said that I was thinking too much. I guess I was thinking too much. The child was so young and I didn’t even know him, so why was he glaring at me?

Yukiko Kudo pulled the brat's cheek and stared at him warningly.

"I don't care. I'm going to go."

The little boy was unusually determined and stubborn.

"No! You can't cause trouble for girls. They're having fun, and it would ruin the mood if you go there, Shinichi."

No one knows a child better than his mother. Kudo Yukiko could imagine the scene and quickly threatened in a low voice: "Shinichi, if you don't listen, I will tell Dad. I will also confiscate all your detective novels."
