"You were even more precocious than you and Shinichi were when you were kids. I remember you always following behind Shinichi back then."
"Garden!" Xiaolan said, blushing.
Sonoko laughed when she saw this. She loved seeing Ran being teased and unable to fight back.
"And you're talking about me? Where's your Ah Zhen?"
To Sonoko's surprise, Ran actually dared to resist this time, but she could only stammer and couldn't answer the question.
Ran successfully counterattacked, reducing Sonoko's HP by ten.
"The vase from last time, no, that water glass, didn't work either."
Ran initiated the attack, reducing Sonoko's health by twenty.
"You didn't even give Guangyou the sweater he gave you, wasting so much of Guangyou's time."
Ran pressed her advantage, landing a critical hit that reduced Sonoko's health by fifty.
Sonoko quickly waved her hand, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't say anymore."
Seeing Sonoko surrender, Ran covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Ai tugged at Kousuke and said, "Kousuke, I'm going to go ashore and rest for a while."
"I'm going to rest for a while too."
Kōyū and Ai lay side by side on the beach chairs.
Sunshine on the beach is always a favorite, and Guangyou just wanted to get some sun to improve his health.
But I don't want this hard-earned pretty boy to become a second Heiji.
After applying sunscreen, Kōyū turned to Ai and asked, "Ai, do you want me to help you apply sunscreen?"
"Get out!"
Ai snatched the sunscreen and started applying it herself.
Guangyou swore to God that he was pure, but for some reason, his pure white was tinged with the color of the beach.
With the warm sunshine and gentle sea breeze, Guangyou, lying on the beach chair, fell asleep without anyone noticing.
Guangyou slept straight through until the sun was almost setting in the afternoon.
The sunlight was no longer so glaring, but Guangyou still needed a little time to adjust before fully opening his eyes.
"You're awake."
Kōyū turned his head and saw Ai wearing a jacket, leaning against a beach chair and reading a magazine.
"What about them?"
Ai closed the magazine: "They went back to rest first. We'll be eating soon, let's go back together."
After nodding, Kōyū stood up, stretched comfortably, wiped his slightly moist eyes, and said to Ai, "Let's go."
Because of the time, there were far fewer people on the beach, but there were still some couples sitting on the sand watching the sunset.
There were too many people during the day, so the young couple didn't have much space to be affectionate. Now that they had the time and the scenery was perfect, they naturally wouldn't pass up such an opportunity.
However, as time went by and night fell, these couples would never set foot on the beach again.
As for why?
They still have some games to play to strengthen their bond.
For example, Ludo?
After resting in my room for a while, I prepared to eat.
"Ai, time to eat!" Kōyū knocked on the door and said to Ai, who was sitting opposite him.
"Shh! Ai seems to be a little tired from playing this afternoon and has fallen asleep."
Ayumi pushed open the door and gestured for Kousuke to be quiet.
After nodding, Kōyū and Ayumi carefully pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
There were no special events today, so the group simply had dinner at Dongfenglou Restaurant.
I had just sat down to order when I ran into Xiaolan and Yuanzi.
Xiaolan and Yuanzi also booked this restaurant.
Since we've run into each other, it'll be more lively eating together.
"Where's Ai?" Ran asked after looking around.
Kōyū looked up and said, "Ai seems to be a little tired from playing this afternoon and has fallen asleep. I'll take some back with me later."
Sonoko nudged Ran: "You seem to care a lot about that little girl. Is it because she's going to be your brother's wife?"
Xiaolan nodded and then shook her head: "Maybe, we'll have to see how things go in the future. It's hard to say now. I care about her because I feel like she has a lot on her mind. She's not as lively as a child, and she doesn't talk much usually."
"Sonoko, is it possible that my concern for her will backfire and make her dislike me?"
Xiaolan frowned and asked Sonoko beside her.
Sonoko shook her head: "Probably not, that child seems very sensible."
"No way! Ai told Conan before that Ran is the type of person who gives birth naturally, and that she's very likable."
Ayumi had no idea what she had said.
These words made Conan and Ran blush deeply.
"Conan! What exactly were you two talking about?"
Ran blushed and slammed her hands on the table, shouting at Conan.
"What are you thinking? Ai just meant that Ran does things in a planned way and very smoothly."
Guangyou knew what it meant, but he pretended not to understand and explained it.
Ayumi's shoulders relaxed immediately: "So it didn't mean big butt after all."
Sonoko suddenly pointed to herself and asked expectantly, "What does that girl usually think of me?"
Just as Ayumi was about to speak, Mitsuyu stopped her and turned to Sonoko, saying, "Sonoko-neechan, do you really want to know?"
"Go ahead and say it, I'm ready."
"She said you seem frivolous and occasionally a bit gossipy and eccentric."
Sonoko's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Is that so? Well, thank you very much then."
"Aren't these the two young ladies and a few kids from earlier in the day? May I ask what time it is?"
