Conan sat up from the covers and straightened up to scrutinize Kōyū.
After confirming it repeatedly, he believed Guangyou.
Conan, unaware of the meaning, didn't think much of it and simply sent Ran a message: "I will, XXX".
------
In another room, Xiaolan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Thinking back on her bold actions during the day, she could still feel her face burning.
In the dark room, the phone screen lit up by the message was quite conspicuous.
Xiaolan seemed to have a vague idea of who sent her the message.
With a mix of anticipation and shyness, Xiaolan reached out and held the phone in front of her.
"Phew, is it Shinichi's?"
A girl's shyness is universal; this feeling can occur in any young girl in her prime.
Especially when sending a message to a loved one and waiting for a reply.
That feeling was truly agonizing.
Conversely, the boy's reaction might not be shyness, but rather disappointment or despair, because his beloved might say, "You're a good person."
Xiaolan hesitated for a long time, her finger hovering in the air, not daring to press down.
Xiaolan closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and pressed her finger down.
She slowly opened her eyes, looked at the text message on the screen, and felt both disappointed and relieved.
It was from the phone company; they sent her a text message saying she didn't have enough balance.
"well..."
Xiaolan had just sighed when a new text message appeared on her phone.
"Is it the phone company again? The payment is due tomorrow, why are they pressing me so hard... Shinichi?"
Upon seeing the sender of the text message, Xiaolan's breathing became somewhat rapid.
The text message was very short, just one line, which Xiaolan scanned at a glance.
After reading the text message, she gritted her teeth, her entire face turning bright red.
"Shinichi still understands what X means, otherwise why would he send me this? Seriously!"
A girlish shyness appeared on Ran's face. She had never imagined that someone else had asked Shinichi to send her this message, and Shinichi had no idea what X meant.
Conan was also confused; he didn't know if he had shrunk and fallen behind the times.
Do you have to say "no, no" several times at the end when texting a girl these days?
He didn't understand, but Guangyou did.
Anyway, this matter greatly helps Shinichi and Ran's relationship. Even if Conan finds out, he will at most blush and hit Kouyu a few times with his fists, which are like embroidered fists to him, without feeling any pain or itch, and he won't mind.
Under the same roof, in different rooms, a man and a woman, lost in their own thoughts, find it hard to fall asleep.
Ran was shy, and Conan was slightly confused. They had different feelings, but their ultimate goal was the same.
The night is both long and short.
Early in the morning, Xiaolan, who was preparing breakfast, still had a sweet and rosy glow on her face.
Xiao Lan hummed a song as she ate simple toast with a fried egg, but she was in a great mood.
Even Conan was a little confused.
"What's wrong with Xiaolan?"
Conan stared blankly at everything before him, then turned his head and asked, "That text message? It's that useful?"
Conan, who was shocked, seemed to have learned something from Mitsuyu.
As Kōyū ate his breakfast, he glanced at Conan before turning back to continue enjoying his meal.
Time flies, and soon it's time to get out of school. After today, it'll be a rest day again.
This period of time reminded Guangyou of his carefree school days.
That period was quite short, only a few years, and it didn't continue in the end due to some unforeseen circumstances.
After school, Ayumi skipped and hopped into a park, humming a tune, unusually not walking with Genta and the others.
In the past two days, Genta and Mitsuhiko have found out that Ayumi has been going to this park every day.
“According to Ayumi, she comes to this park every day to see a guy named Bruce or Jack.”
Mitsuhiko's tone was very serious. He frowned and said, "I suspect that Ayumi may have a foreign boyfriend."
"Kids these days," Ai shook her head and sighed. "So, you two are jealous because of this? Do you want to go talk to Bruce or Jack about it?"
Mitsuhiko blushed and protested, "No, I just wanted to see if that man was good enough for Ayumi!"
"Conan, Mitsuyu, you two should be coming with us, right?"
Genta looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with hope.
"I'm not going."
"I don't want to go either."
The two gave surprisingly similar answers.
"You two absolutely have to go! This is a major event in Ayumi's life!"
Yuan Tai looked excited.
"Actually, he's just jealous."
Ai Haibara chimed in, adding insult to injury.
Both of them blushed and asked in unison, "So you're going?"
"Alright, I'll go then."
Judging from the way those two looked, Guangyou figured if they didn't go, they'd probably be nagging for ages.
"Ai, what about you?"
Guangyou turned his head and asked.
Ai shrugged and took a few steps toward Kōyū: "Let's go."
Genta and Mitsuhiko were very eager and pulled Conan to hide next to a statue in the park.
Kōyū and Ai lagged behind them by a distance, walking slowly at the back.
The boyfriend they were talking about didn't exist; all that could be seen was an old woman sitting next to Ayumi.
Ayumi and the old woman were chatting happily, both with smiles on their faces.
After chatting for a while, they put their hands to their mouths and called out something loudly.
