But now he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say in his heart, "I'm watching it too."

But at this moment, Mao Lilan's tone suddenly became sad.

"Conan..."

"Um?"

"Do you think I should give up karate just like that?"

Mao Lilan's sudden words made Conan a little confused.

When he realized what Mao Lilan was saying, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly turned his head to look, and saw something sparkling in the eyes of his beloved girl, which looked particularly bright under the sunset.

However, no matter how bright the appearance is, it cannot change its sad nature.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"Karate is a hobby you have always insisted on. How can you give up so easily?"

Conan quickly tried to persuade him, his expression serious and anxious.

Maori Ran's love for karate was not spontaneous at first, but she was sent to learn by Kogoro Maori on the grounds that "girls need to learn self-defense skills".

However, as she continued to learn, Mao Lilan's talent and interest in this area gradually emerged, and she was out of control from then on.

Coupled with Mao Lilan's serious and dedicated character, she has devoted herself to karate for so many years, and it has long gone beyond being just an after-school hobby.

Although she may not necessarily expect to make a living from karate in the future, such a hasty ending must be full of regrets.

"Conan, I know what you mean..."

Mao Lilan turned to look at Conan, with a sad smile on her lips, "But think about it, I'm not as powerful as Mr. Kyogoku Makoto. I can become a professional martial artist in the future..."

"Maybe it's better to be more realistic in life."

In the past two days, Mao Lilan thought a lot in private.

After all, a hobby is a hobby and cannot be used as a career in the future.

Just like Hattori Heiji's mother, she was once a member of the high school kendo club, but now she lives a housewife life that has nothing to do with kendo.

"Although Hattori Heiji is also very good at kendo, he won't be able to pursue kendo as his ambition in the future, right?"

"You will eventually have to return to your daily routine in the future. If you practice karate regularly, you will inevitably injure your body..."

There is another sentence that Mao Lilan hides in her heart but does not say out.

That means it may also hurt your loved ones.

Conan stared at Mao Lilan's transformation and knew that the Stonehenge incident had affected Mao Lilan.

He believed that Mao Lilan did not say such words just to show off his quick words.

After all, Mao Lilan also thought carefully about his future plans.

This made Conan speechless for a while, and he didn't know where to start.

If this is what Mao Lilan really thinks, he will respect and support it no matter what.

But before that, he had something to say in his heart.

"Sister Xiaolan..."

"I don't know what happened between you and Brother Shinichi in England..."

"But when it comes to sister Xiaolan's karate, you must have protected me more often."

"I think Brother Shinichi thinks so too..."

As soon as these words came out, they were like the sound of an empty valley, touching the depths of Mao Lilan's heart.

She turned her head and looked at Conan next to her, who was also looking at her with his cute big eyes.

The two people's eyes met each other. It was not just a mere intersection of eyes, but their souls seemed to be communicating with each other.

Against the backdrop of the beautiful sunset, Mao Lilan raised the corners of her mouth and raised her hands to gently smooth her silky hair blown by the sea breeze.

"Yeah?"

"Shinichi thinks so too?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded vigorously.

Mao Lilan was silent for a few seconds, then picked up Conan and held him in her arms like a large doll.

"Sister Xiaolan?"

"You can see better from above~"

"Um."

Conan nodded. Although the posture of being held like a doll was a bit awkward, I have to say that it was quite comfortable.

But not two seconds after he felt comfortable, Yuanzi came back with the three little ones who had gone out for a run.

"Conan, we all saw it!"

"You are acting coquettishly with Sister Xiaolan again!"

The three little ones immediately ran over and teased Conan.

Conan, who was ridiculed, felt a little embarrassed for a moment. How could he lead the three little ones like this in the future?

So he quickly defended himself.

"Fool, I don't have one..."

"Conan, are you blushing?" Ayumi took the initiative.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's because of the sunset~"

Mitsuhiko and Genta didn't give in, "It's an excuse~ It's obviously just a blush!"

Conan: "I don't have any!"

Mao Lilan, who was standing aside, looked stunned when she heard Conan's introduction.

She recalled in her mind that when Shinichi was embarrassed when she was a child, she used the setting sun to cover up her blush.

This kid...

He really looks like Shinichi when he was a kid.

At this time, a mature voice sounded next to him.

"Conan's face turned red because he was so energetic..."

Everyone turned and looked over, and it turned out that Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi had also wandered back.

Seeing Qin Zhibo coming, Conan seemed to have seen the savior, his eyes radiating hope.

But the next second, Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head affectionately and smiled.

"Because I can hang out with my favorite sister Xiaolan, of course I feel refreshed!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, the three little ones immediately burst into laughter.

"Isn't this the same!"

"Such a childish reason, Conan is indeed a child!"

Conan drooped his eyelids and gave Qin Zhibo a half-moon eye.

Boss, please don't play with me, okay?

"By the way." Qin Zhibo turned around and looked around and asked: "Dr. A Li and Mr. Mao Li, why aren't Haiyuan Ai here?"

Mao Lilan explained: "Dad is taking a shower in the room. He said he wanted to dress up in the evening..."

"Dr. A Li was a little dizzy, so Xiao Ai stayed in the room to take care of him."

When Chengshi heard this, he quickly said: "If you feel dizzy, I have some seasickness medicine here. Can I send it over now?"

Mao Lilan shook his head, "No need, Xiao Ai also brought medicine before boarding the ship, and Dr. A Li has already taken it."

"Eh? Ms. Narumi's watch is so beautiful!"

Mao Lilan had better eyesight and saw the women's watch exposed on Chengshi's wrist at a glance.

"Yeah?"

Chengshi caressed the watch lovingly, "This is a gift from Mr. Qin..."

"That's it!"

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up and she said casually: "I saw a watch like this at Heathrow Airport in London before. The price is very expensive!"

"Mr. Qin is so kind to you!"
