[The previous chapter 420 was pinged; it will be released in a couple of days.]
Guangyou turned around and saw that the person who came was Xiaolan.
When Xiaolan saw Guangyou on the rooftop, she was slightly surprised for a second before regaining her composure. She sat on another beach chair on the rooftop, also looking up at the sky, without saying a word.
Guangyou turned his head to look. Xiaolan's long, black hair was draped down, with a strand of bangs neatly lying on her forehead. Her eyes reflected the starry sky and shimmered with an unusually beautiful light.
"Sister Xiaolan, are you in a bad mood?"
Guangyou could tell from Xiaolan's appearance that something was wrong, even though Xiaolan was trying her best to hide the fact that she was in a bad mood.
"No."
She forced a smile, looked at Guangyou, and asked, "Guangyou, what are you doing here so late instead of going to sleep?"
With his hands behind his head, Guangyou turned around and looked at the night sky, which didn't have many stars, and said, "Count the stars."
Then, he turned to look at Xiaolan and smiled, "Sister Xiaolan, you really don't lie."
Ran looked at Guangyou in confusion and asked, "What?"
"You're just in a bad mood, but you're pretending to be in a good mood."
Guangyou shook his head, looking rather helpless. "Did you not do well on the exam?"
"I think the exam went okay; I don't think it went badly."
Xiaolan hesitated for a moment when she saw Guangyou, but still said, "It's just that you kids wouldn't understand what I'm thinking."
Kōyū, still turned to the side, chuckled and asked, "You mean Shinichi-nii?"
Ran looked at Guangyou in surprise: "How did you know?"
Guangyou curled his lip. Do I need to know?
This is obvious, even someone with their feet could figure it out.
"Why didn't Shinichi even say hello when he came back?"
Xiaolan hugged her legs, resting her head gently on her knees. Her long hair swayed gently in the night breeze, and her eyes sparkled with the lights of the distant city.
At this point, Kōyū understood that Ran's current state was related to the excuse Conan had used before.
At the time, Conan was probably in a hurry and didn't think too much, so he directly used Shinichi's identity as a scapegoat, and didn't take any other actions afterward.
"Perhaps he's busy right now."
While comforting Conan, Kōyū took out his phone and sent him a message.
Conan is really something. He can come up with reasons, but he doesn't even know how to handle after-sales service. That's incredibly unprofessional.
He didn't hide the text messages from Xiaolan; he didn't think Xiaolan would know who he was texting.
Sure enough, seeing that Kōyū seemed to be texting, Rin suddenly smiled and asked, "Kōyū, are you texting Ai-chan?"
Guangyou was taken aback at first, then nodded.
"I'm so envious."
Ran crossed her arms, looked up into the distance, and said, "I remember when I was little, Shinichi and I were just like you guys, we often played together."
"Although he sometimes seems to dislike me, he always tries to cheer me up whenever I'm sad."
Thinking of these things, Xiaolan's smile brightened considerably. "I miss it so much."
After sending the text message, he turned on the record button on his phone, then turned around and asked seriously, "Sister Xiaolan, what would you do if Shinichi didn't come back for ten years?"
Xiaolan didn't think for long before her answer was decisive: "Then wait twenty years."
Kōyū raised an eyebrow and ended the recording. These things would be very meaningful later on. If all else fails, he could give them to Conan and extort some money from him.
"Ring ring ring"
A cell phone ring broke the silence between the two. Mitsuyu guessed that Conan had seen the text message and was hiding in some corner making a call to Ran.
Guangyou quietly got up and left the rooftop. The night was perfect, a good time to sleep.
...
The following day at noon, Kouyu and Conan left the agency with Ran watching them go. Yesterday, Conan used a voice changer to call Ran, and of course, they had a very pleasant conversation.
Yesterday's events still need to be resolved; Conan still needs to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement today.
Kōyū was bored, so he went with him, but before going there, he had to go to Professor Agasa's house first.
...
"Go to the Metropolitan Police Department?" Ai glanced at Conan and retorted, "What would I do at the Metropolitan Police Department? Turn myself in?"
Conan looked at Kōyū, who had just come out of the restroom, and gave him a look that said, "You handle this."
Kōyū wiped his still-damp hands on his clothes, walked up to Ai, and said, "Come with me. We can grab a bite to eat or catch a movie while we're at it."
"Okay, let me change my clothes."
When Ai heard that there were other activities planned for the afternoon, she finally nodded in agreement.
After Ai left, Kouyu nudged Conan with his elbow and raised an eyebrow: "Speaking of which, what did you and Ran talk about yesterday? You came downstairs with your face all red."
Last night, Guangyou was lying in bed getting ready to sleep when he saw Conan push open the door and walk in with a curious look on his face. The reason was that Conan's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.
"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, Xiaolan has already calmed down."
Thinking of yesterday, Conan's face suddenly flushed again.
Seeing this, Kōyū knew he wouldn't get any interesting information out of her, so he gave up on asking and instead sat quietly on the sofa waiting for Ai to change her clothes.
Not long after, Ai, having changed her clothes, pushed open the door and came out.
A white long-sleeved T-shirt paired with denim overalls is a simple yet stylish look.
Combined with Ai's unique hair color, she looks both pure and energetic.
