Chapter 139: It's hard to coax her
After the game, Mouri Ran was silent on the way back. Edogawa Conan noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he followed her obediently and glanced at her from time to time.
After noticing his little action, Mao Lilan asked impatiently: "What are you doing?"
Edogawa Conan observed her expression and asked cautiously: "Sister Xiaolan, why are you suddenly unhappy? Is the game not fun?"
Mao Lilan was silent for a moment, then said, "The game is fun." She turned her head away, avoiding Edogawa Conan's gaze, "I was just influenced by the plot."
Hearing her say this, Edogawa Conan felt relieved. He advised: "This is just a script, don't take it too seriously."
"Um."
Although she responded, she was still very depressed. Edogawa Conan expressed his understanding, saying that she was very empathetic and sometimes she would be affected by the plot when watching TV dramas. He said that she would just need a few days to digest it.
I don't know how long it will take Mao Lilan to digest her emotions this time, but it's obviously not today. When she was going upstairs, she suddenly said: "Conan, you should stay at Dr. Agasa's house for the next few days. I don't want to cook anymore."
"Huh?" Edogawa Conan looked confused.
Maori Kogoro, who opened the door to welcome his daughter, was also stunned. He pointed at himself and asked, "What about me?"
"Dad, you are an adult already. Do you still need your underage daughter to chase you and feed you?" Mao Lilan walked past her father and went straight back to her room. She slammed the door, leaving the two men looking at each other in bewilderment.
Maori Kogoro immediately grabbed Conan's collar and whispered in his ear, "Kid, did you make Xiaolan angry?"
Edogawa Conan lifted his legs off the ground and said innocently, "It has nothing to do with me..." After saying this, he suddenly felt a little guilty. He vaguely felt that Xiaolan's mood swings might really be because of him.
The head chef was on strike, so they had to figure out how to prepare dinner themselves.
Conan Edogawa didn't listen to Ran Maoli's advice and went to Dr. Agasa's house. His intuition told him that if he left tonight, it would be difficult for him to stay back in the future. His sixth sense was sometimes quite strong.
Maori Kogoro wanted to go downstairs to buy dinner, but Edogawa Conan suggested to cook it himself. "Sister Xiaolan is in a bad mood, so let us cook dinner and let her feel our care!"
Maori Kogoro rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, feeling that this proposal was a bit far-fetched. He asked, "Are you sure what we make is edible?"
Conan Edogawa said confidently: "Apart from anything else, the sandwich is no problem. I often watch Mr. Amuro make it, and I have learned it a long time ago! You should show your fatherly love occasionally!"
Maori Kogoro was convinced. Who can't make something as simple as a sandwich?
So, the two kitchen novices started working in the kitchen.
After returning to the room, Mao Lilan threw herself onto the bed and buried her face in the pillow.
Today's script-killing game made her notice things that she had deliberately ignored in the past.
In the past, if Edogawa Conan showed his overly clever side in front of Ran Mouri, he'd quickly make excuses, saying he learned it from Kudo Shinichi. But this time, the game lasted a long time, and the immersive experience made him overly excited, even relying on the script to exaggerate his performance. He thought he was acting well, but Ran Mouri noticed something was wrong immediately.
What kind of elementary school student would use that kind of eyes and tone to talk to his sister?! Even if he was an award-winning actor, he couldn't have such acting skills at such a young age, right?
If that were all, Mao Lilan would only suspect that Conan had fallen in love with her. However, when reasoning, Conan's proud, relaxed posture and methodical way of speaking were not similar to Kudo Shinichi's reasoning habits, but could only be said to be exactly the same.
If Mao Lilan still can't confirm his identity, then she has liked him for so many years in vain.
Conan is Shinichi.
This is the result that Mao Lilan came up with after thinking about it all the way.
After realizing this, she felt a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The person he loved didn't suddenly disappear, but stayed by his side the whole time. But he kept deceiving himself. However, he inexplicably turned into a child and deliberately concealed his identity. He must have encountered something very dangerous...
Mao Lilan felt that there were two villains in her heart pulling at each other. One said that he was a liar, his crime was heinous and unforgivable; the other said that he had no choice and his circumstances were excusable.
The two villains staged a debate, and in the end, he understood that he had the upper hand.
When you like someone, you will take the initiative to find excuses for his or her various behaviors, as if this can prove that the feelings between you are still there.
Mao Lilan is a little disgusted with herself. She has resentment towards Shinichi, but she can't help but want to forgive him.
Sigh... it's so tiring to like someone...
Just when she was feeling a bit down, she suddenly heard a tinkling sound coming from outside.
"Hmm?" Mao Lilan raised her head from the pillow. Her nose was slightly red, and tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She looked at the door in confusion. The noise outside the door continued, and she had to get up and go out to check.
Mao Lilan opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?" She sniffed and her voice was still tearful.
"No, it's okay..." Maori Kogoro blocked the kitchen door with a guilty conscience. But when he turned around and saw his daughter's red eyes, obviously she had been crying, his face immediately changed drastically and he rushed out, asking, "Xiaolan, why are you crying? Who made you feel bad?!"
Conan Edogawa also ran out of the kitchen after hearing the noise and asked anxiously, "Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?" He was panicking. No way, could a script have such a big influence?
Mao Lilan did not answer them. Seeing Conan running out of the kitchen, her intuition told her that something bad had happened. She walked to the kitchen door silently. The counter and the floor were all wet. There was a pile of vegetable corpses scattered on the cutting board. The toaster emitted black smoke. There was a black object on the pan. The kitchen was a mess.
At this moment, Mao Lilan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and broke down crying.
“Wooo ...
Kogoro Mori & Conan Edogawa: !!!
"Ran! Ran...don't cry, don't cry, it's all Daddy's fault!" Maori Kogoro immediately scratched his head and apologized, "It's Daddy's fault for making a mess in the kitchen. I'll clean it up right away!"
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan." Edogawa Conan immediately admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault. I suggested that uncle cook dinner for you, but it ended up being a mess... I'm sorry..." He lowered his head, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Hearing his apology, Mao Lilan cried even harder, hiccuping and saying, "Wuwu... No... Wuwu..."
No apologies allowed!
I don't want an apology!
Maori Kogoro didn't understand what she meant, and asked cautiously, "No what? Are you saying I can't go into the kitchen?" He immediately patted his chest and said, "Dad promises you that I will never go into the kitchen again!"
Conan Edogawa also raised his hand and said, "I, I won't go into the kitchen before I take home economics class!" As he said that, he kindly handed her a tissue to wipe her face.
Mao Lilan pressed the tissue to her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Clean up the kitchen."
"Okay!" The two men nodded immediately.
"Go now!" Mao Lilan said coldly.
"yes!"
Her state reminded them of Hibiki Eri, and without delay, they immediately began to work. Occasionally, they turned back and saw her standing at the door with a serious expression, which made them feel even more nervous.
This is so similar!
It only took ten minutes to make a mess in the kitchen, but it took nearly an hour to clean it up.
By the time they had restored the kitchen to its original state, the table was already set with dinner bought from Poirot Cafe.
Mao Lilan sat at the dining table and said indifferently, "Come and eat. People should know themselves and not act rashly."
Maori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan held their rice bowls and nodded repeatedly. The whole process of eating was as well-behaved as two quails.
After eating, Mao Lilan said, "You guys wash the dishes," and then went to take a shower and go to bed.
Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa, one lowered his head, the other raised his head, and they looked at each other in silence.
Maori Kogoro squatted down and asked in a low voice: "What happened to Xiaolan? Tell me everything that happened today."
Then they moved to the kitchen and washed dishes while listening to Conan recall the entire process of today's game.
"It sounds like she's been influenced by the characters in the script." Maori Kogoro sighed, "When Xiaolan watched a TV series before, if there was a touching plot, she wouldn't want to cook the next day. I wonder how long this will last this time."
While Edogawa Conan was speaking, he was also reviewing the situation. Thinking back on his performance today, he had a bad suspicion in his mind. Could it be that Xiaolan had discovered his identity?!
Conan Edogawa was terrified and wanted to explain to Ran, but he didn't know where to start. What if she didn't guess his identity? Wouldn't he be exposed if he went there?
At this moment, a message suddenly came to his phone. After clicking it, his brows furrowed tightly.
When Kogoro Mouri started snoring loudly, Conan Edogawa secretly crawled out of the bed and tiptoed out.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he left, another door opened.
\\
After the game ended, Dong Yexi did not reveal that he was the organizer and went back with the other players.
He didn't invite anyone and was waiting for them to take the initiative.
He originally thought he would have to wait a few more days, but unexpectedly he received a message from Subaru Okiya asking for a meeting tonight.
When Yuichi Hatori saw him looking at his phone, he thought his family was urging him to go back, so he helped him pack his bag and handed it to him.
Dong Yexi took the backpack and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said thoughtfully: "Why don't you come with me?"
"Ah? Okay." Hatori Yui didn't know where he was going to take him, but he knew that the senior would not harm him.
However, when he saw Subaru Okiya's face, his expression changed.
When there were many people playing games during the day, he could pretend to ignore Subaru Okiya, but in this situation, it was obvious that they wanted to have a detailed discussion, and he definitely couldn't hide.
Subaru Okiya prepared some snacks for them and said, "You won't be able to sleep if you drink tea at night, so I prepared some milk."
"You're so thoughtful." Higashino Xi drank generously, and before Okiya Subaru wanted to start a conversation, he said, "Don't you have to wait for others? I don't want to repeat the same sentence several times."
Okiya Subaru was silent for a while, and finally took out his cell phone.
When Edogawa Conan ran to his house, he saw a table of people sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
"Elementary school students are so pitiful~" Dong Yexi teased, "Even if you go out in the middle of the night, you have to wait until the adults are asleep before you can sneak out. I think you should go back to sleep, or you might not grow taller."
