What's it like to have a girlfriend who saves money for her boyfriend?
Cool.
It felt great.
So awesome!
I said it three times to emphasize it.
"This girl..."
He didn't tell her that he just wanted to talk to her about bags and didn't actually intend to buy any.
Instead, he followed her lead and continued:
"Um."
"But let me know if you see one you like."
“Although our family can’t compare to the Suzuki Group, we can definitely afford to buy you a bag, so don’t skimp on it.”
"Money is meant to be spent, not earned."
"I'm willing to spend money on you."
He just did it casually; it wasn't intentional.
It's like walking along a lake and accidentally kicking a pebble into it, creating ripples.
...
Ai, who loves bags, didn't pay attention to the sentence, "Tell me which one you like."
She noticed a detail that was more important to her than the designer handbag:
"Our family..."
This isn't the first time Guangyou has said something like this.
However, Ai is always moved whenever she sees these words.
Her proud and arrogant personality was on full display once again.
She smiled slightly, and there was a hint of laughter in her eyes.
But she pouted and muttered to herself in a dissatisfied tone:
"There are still several steps missing."
She said she was unwilling, but her face showed she was willing.
She wasn't one of those girls in love who would writhe in bed like some creature in its infancy because of a text message like that.
She glanced at the words "our family..." a few more times before replying to Guangyou.
Instead of bringing up the matter directly, Ai changed the subject and started chatting with Kousuke.
Throughout the conversation, a faint smile remained on her lips.
...
In the past few days, Conan has thought of many ways to confess his feelings.
But Guangyou thought they weren't very good.
He still felt that going out to dinner was more suitable for Conan.
really.
Those things that are too romantic, Conan might not be able to handle.
Actually, Conan...Shinichi is quite handsome, and Ran is also very handsome.
If Shinichi were to actually use those methods to confess his feelings, it would really feel like an idol drama.
But Conan is the kind of person who dares to think about things but doesn't dare to do them.
He was bored these past few days, so he chatted with Conan a bit.
According to Conan:
On the day he was drugged, he and Xiaolan went on a roller coaster.
Seeing a couple kissing in public, he immediately imagined a scene of confessing his love:
He was wearing a white suit, while Xiaolan was wearing a white dress.
He confessed his feelings, and she blushed slightly as she responded that she felt the same way.
Driven by the atmosphere, the two grew closer and closer.
(The following content is omitted for brevity...)
...
The imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
He's just a weirdo with a vivid imagination, nothing more.
In his imagination, he could say to Xiaolan calmly, without hesitation, and with deep affection:
"Xiao Lan, I've liked you for a long time."
But in real life...
Even during rehearsals, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Hesitant and awkward.
The "Shinichi" he imagined was practically the same person as him, sharing the same name and appearance.
For example, at this moment, at Conan's request, Kousuke is using Ran's voice to speak to Conan, who has his back to him:
"Shinichi, what do you want from me?"
The expectation in his words was perfectly conveyed through tone of voice and subtle details.
Even though he knew it was Mitsuyu talking, Conan still had the illusion that Ran was right behind him.
He stared straight ahead, his face slightly flushed, his lips moving several times, but he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Right there, it was making "lan...lan...lan" sounds.
Guangyou was utterly helpless upon hearing this.
But what about the second half of the sentence?
She couldn't even say anything to this imposter, yet she wanted to confess to the real Xiaolan?
Is this a joke?
Putting everything else aside, how did Conan come up with such a terrible idea as having him impersonate Ran?
After confirming that Fusa was still single, he returned to his usual life.
After school, he would either go out to play with Ai or take her home directly before returning to the agency.
He had only been back for a short time when Conan pulled him into the room, looking rather awkward.
If he didn't know that Conan was heterosexual and had someone he liked, he would have punched him.
Then, Conan asked him to use Ran's voice to do a scenario simulation.
His expression at that moment could be vividly described using emoticons:
His expression when he first heard this was like this:
(°Д°)
Then this happened:
(-ι_-)
Anyone with basic emotional intelligence wouldn't come up with such a terrible idea.
If Ai hadn't said she wanted to do research, and he really had nothing else to do, he would never have agreed.
He could never say it was because Conan promised to treat him to dinner later.
...
Eating and such are not important to him; his main goal is to help others.
Since he had agreed, he would naturally play the role of "Ran Mouri" very professionally.
Given his current situation, he can only disguise himself as a young Xiaolan.
However, he was too lazy to put on makeup.
He had Conan turn his back to him and asked in Ran's voice.
And then this happened.
Looking at Conan, who hadn't uttered a word for a long time, Kousuke offered a rather sincere suggestion in his own voice:
"I think we should forget about it."
"Stop with the rehearsals."
