Early the next morning, Xiaolan arrived at Okino Shi's residence and rushed to a nearby cafe without stopping.

half an hour later

"Okino-san, this is it."

Looking in the direction of Xiaolan's finger, it was just an ordinary coffee shop.

"Okay, let's go in."

Jingle bell bell~

"welcome!"

Walking into the coffee shop, Xiaolan randomly found a seat by the window and sat down. It happened to be a four-seater, and the two of them sat face to face.

"Xiaolan, what time did you and your mother agree on?"

"Ten o'clock, half an hour left."

"In this case, let's have something to drink first to pass the time, waiter."

"Yes, hello sir."

"Two cups of coffee first, just the mocha."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

"Okino?"

Okino waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just two cups of coffee, I can still afford it."

Having said that, Okino is still a little bit sad. Two cups of coffee cost only a few hundred dollars. It would be fake not to feel distressed. But on the other hand, it is better to let a girl treat a guest than a high school sophomore.

He couldn't treat Xiaolan to a treat.

"Thank you." Xiaolan knew about Okino's income, but he seemed determined to invite him, so she had no choice but to accept his offer.

"By the way, Xiaolan, what are you going to do next? It's impossible to make dumplings without letting them know." Taking advantage of this free time, Okino Shiya randomly found a topic to chat about, so that he didn't let them know.

The atmosphere is so awkward.

"It doesn't matter. Just kick dad out when the time comes, and let him come back tonight."

"Uh..." For Xiaolan to say such words so easily and without hesitation, Okino felt really sad for Mouri Kogoro. In this family, Moori Kogoro had the least status. Okino was very disappointed.

Say something...

Well, well done.

"Ahem, since you said so, I don't have any problem."

"Great, this battle will definitely be successful." Xiaolan was very happy. She had high expectations for this love battle between her parents, and the smile on her face had not stopped since the morning.

"By the way, what kind of person is Xiaolan's mother?" In order to find a topic, Okino asked knowingly.

"Hmm... this, he should be a very gentle person." Xiaolan tapped her lips with her index finger, thought for a while and then said.

"Gentle...?" Okino suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, but in his mind, he could not help but imagine Fei Yingli's condescending queen appearance, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

When did the queen-like concubine Yingli become gentle? She has always been the royal sister or the queen.

The two of them chatted happily, and Ouchi Ye lost that there was never a shortage of topics to talk about. He digressed here and there, making Xiaolan giggle, but in the end the topic unconsciously returned to dumplings.

"Well, I just thought about it. Just eating dumplings always feels like something is missing. I'm making some Chinese dishes. Eating dumplings always feels weird."

"Hey, is it true?" Xiaolan clasped her hands together and said with a surprised expression, "The Chinese food made by Okino-san is really delicious. I tried to make it myself after eating it last time. I don't know why.

The taste is always a bit off.”

"It's okay. It's normal that you're not used to it. Most Chinese dishes are hot dishes. You'll get used to it after cooking it a few times."

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

To be honest, he prefers Chinese cuisine to Japanese food. Many Japanese dishes are cold dishes, which he is not used to eating. Therefore, Okino Shi does not know anything about Japanese food, so he buys the food and cooks it himself.

, although it is not at the level of a chef, it is still edible.

"Xiaolan, you should know about the Chinese New Year."

"You know, I remember eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year."

"Yes." Chong Ye nodded and continued.

"Eating dumplings is a Chinese tradition, and the Chinese New Year is not just about eating dumplings, there are also many dishes as accompaniments, so as to have a New Year atmosphere, such as Coke chicken wings, Sixi meatballs, fish and so on."

"Eh, eh, is it true!" Xiaolan's eyes lit up. Although she had eaten breakfast, she still felt hungry in her stomach.

"Of course, since you have invited your mother over, you can also try my cooking. Maybe your mother will reconcile with your uncle after eating the food I made."

"That's really a blessing from you, Okino-san."

"It's okay, it's easy."

To be honest, I don’t have any hope for this operation. Throughout more than 900 episodes of Conan, the two of them were still separated until the end. If they reconciled after a meal, they would have met a ghost.

Woolen cloth.

Maybe the two of them separated at that time because they couldn't stand Fei Yingli's dark cooking.

"Well, in this case, it will take more time. As for the ingredients, you need to buy them a few hours in advance."

"Yeah, let me help too."

"Of course, I remember that Conan was pretty good at making dumplings last time. Let's ask him to come over and help. Of course, this matter must be kept secret from the uncle. It's best to drive him away when he returns later. Don't let him come back before dinner.

.”

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"Huh? Isn't that Conan? Why is he here?" Okino Shi was about to say something, but he inadvertently found a child standing quietly at the door.

"Conan?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look, and happened to meet the shocked Conan's eyes.

Well, that's the right person.

'Ah! Oops, we've been discovered!' Conan panicked and thought to himself, 'Mom sells batches, I hid them so well, and yet they were discovered, it's definitely not my problem!'

Another very important point is that Xiaolan said before going out that she wanted to go on a date with someone, and this... this, this, this... turned out to be this bastard Okino Shi.

Ahhh! I can't stand it anymore. This bastard actually stole my girlfriend!

Someone at my job was cuckolded one day!

They say that if you want to live a good life, you must have a little green on your head. At first he didn't believe it, but now he had to believe it.

Finally, as a last resort, Conan had no choice but to walk towards the two of them with a dark face and heavy steps.

"Conan, why are you here?"

"Xiao! Lan! Sister! Sister! Didn't you say that you want to date someone? Is it Chong! Ye! Brother! Brother!" Conan gritted his teeth and said every word.

"A date?" Okino was stunned for a moment, and coupled with Conan's tone and eyes that wanted to eat him, he suddenly understood.

"No, Conan, it's not what you imagined." Xiaolan explained in a panic.

"What is that!" Conan's eyes never left Okino, staring at him unblinkingly, as if he was afraid that he would run away in the blink of an eye.

"Actually... I have to wait for someone else." Xiaolan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"Meow meow meow?" Conan was confused all of a sudden. Is there someone else? Didn't he get cheated?

Taking the opportunity to pull Conan next to him, Okinosuke took the opportunity to knock him and said jokingly.

"You are really capable of causing trouble. Why are you afraid that I will snatch your little girlfriend away?"

Whoosh!

Before Conan could say anything, Xiaolan glared at Okino and said angrily.

"Okino, what are you talking about? Besides, Conan is just a child, so don't lead him astray."

"Of course I know he is a child, but haven't you noticed that this kid is usually quite mature? It's okay to like girls, right?" Okino looked unconcerned, not caring about Conan's growing popularity.

Face.

"What is it, Okino, this joke is not funny at all, he is just a child now." Xiaolan just smiled awkwardly and did not take it seriously, but Conan was hesitant and unable to speak.

But her little face was already red.

Okino didn't take it seriously, instead he hummed twice, glanced at the boy pretending not to be kind, and then turned to look at Xiaolan to continue the inducement.

"Xiaolan, don't underestimate this kid. Don't you think he knows a lot? He doesn't look like a kid of this age at all."

"Hey, listening to what you said...it seems true, but it's just that Conan is smarter, right?" Xiaolan thought about it and nodded subconsciously.

"You are wrong about this, Xiaolan. Let me tell you, children these days are very precocious. Even though he is only seven years old now, he might know everything he should know and shouldn't know.

." As he talked, Okino Shi couldn't stop the car and kept talking.

Even when Conan wanted to say something, Okino glared back.

"In my opinion, there is a girl in their young detective team who is quite cute. According to my observation, that girl seems to like Conan quite a lot. The way she looks at him is different, but Conan doesn't like him at all.

, maybe..." Okino paused for a moment, looking like Xiaolan.

"Maybe the person he likes is you, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan immediately turned into beanie eyes.

Conan was also ashamed and embarrassed. He kept tugging on Okino's clothes to prevent him from continuing to speak. He didn't know what strange things he would say if he continued.

"Okino, are you overthinking it? Conan is...still a child now." Xiaolan looked at Conan subconsciously, but couldn't help but recall everything that had happened before. In addition to what Okino had just said,

In just one sentence, I made a decision silently in my heart.

'Well, don't call Conan when you take a shower next time, otherwise it will be bad if you spoil the children.'

If Conan knew that he couldn't take a bath with Xiaolan in the future, he would probably beat Okino to death.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's tell him what happened just now. We still need his help tonight."
