Chapter 104: It’s so cold at night when I’m alone
As for why Conan wasn't brought into the car, the main reason was that Conan was too perceptive. If he were to get in the car, it was certain that he would cause trouble for him.
Zero Hour: Smart people never cause trouble for themselves.
And bringing Conan along, the term "murderous intent" will definitely leave a mark in his heart, and who knows, one day he might reveal his true identity.
We can still fool people by saying that Keigo Atobe has strong dynamic observation ability, but Conan knows too much, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not make the connection.
Fortunately, the restaurant that Mr. Atobe found really matched his aesthetic taste, and the dishes tasted very good, which perfectly distracted everyone, including Conan.
It's a pity that the portion is a little insufficient. Lingshi directly asked to order a few more for himself. Although it somewhat ruined the old man's aesthetic taste, one should eat to the fullest.
Keigo Atobe: No problem. If he doesn’t eat enough after I treat you to a meal, it means you are looking down on him.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was taught a lot of etiquette since childhood, said:
Wow, luckily Atobe-kun is not a rigid person. If it were me and my mother, I would have been slapped on the hand.
Lingshi didn't care about this. If he couldn't eat enough, it wouldn't count as dinner.
If Huang Quan didn't eat enough, it would be his inaction. He didn't even notice that his partner was not full. Lingshi thought it was a lover's dereliction of duty.
As the chef, Lingshi naturally knew the appetite of the three people in his group, so he asked for the extra amount to be just right, neither too much nor too little.
Conan: He actually remembered my appetite so completely. This guy Zero Time is more attentive than he appears. I have to be more careful in the future so that he won't discover my identity.
Having said that, it seemed that Conan himself was the first one to rush to the crime scene, but he finally calmed down after the zero-hour education.
Seeing this, Suzuki Sonoko asked for some more food for herself and Xiaolan. The two girls relaxed a lot and felt like they were at home after the meal.
Atobe Keigo: Ah, you are truly worthy of being me.
When they returned, it was Keigo Atobe who sent Reitoki and the other three home, while Ran Mouri was sent home by Sonoko Suzuki.
As soon as Conan got in the car, he couldn't stop talking. He curiously asked Reiji and Atobe Keigo if their meeting today was a coincidence.
The three adults in the car had already communicated with each other, and at this time, Zero Hour was simple and rough for Conan.
"This is adult matters, children shouldn't be too curious."
Conan: That's not what you said at the beginning. You didn't treat me as a child when you asked me to help Officer Ida!
Conan was sulking all the way, and finally Huang Quan couldn't stand it anymore and told him the whole story briefly.
Conan: "That's quite a coincidence, so that art museum will remain, right?"
Huang Quan: "Yes, Conan, do you want to go next time?"
Conan: "Well, I'll ask my friends to go with me when I have time."
Conan is very good at pretending to be young. If Lingshi didn't know, he would have been fooled by him like Huang Quan and Tetsuya.
Midnight: Will you tell Yomi Conan’s secret later? It seems like he likes Conan quite a bit.
Ling Shi couldn't say that he fully understood what Huang Quan was thinking. They had discussed the issue of not having children before, but it didn't matter to them.
But Huang Quan seemed to really like Conan. As Huang Quan and Conan gradually became familiar with each other, Ling Shi wanted to keep Conan.
Midnight: Such a smart elementary school student is hard to come by, and the Kudo couple are still young. Can you give this one to me?
System: ...What nonsense are you talking about.
Lingshi: But Quanquan likes it very much...
When they got home and got off the car, Huang Quan had just had a good chat with Conan, so after saying goodbye to Atobe Keigo, the two of them just walked away hand in hand.
Zero Hour: Hey, hey, hey, don’t forget me.
Lingshi's resentful look was too obvious. Huang Quan looked back, then smiled at him and turned back to talk to Conan.
Midnight: I can’t have my own wife, so I can only spoil her myself.
Lingshi took big steps and walked to the other side of Conan, then took his other hand.
Conan, who was having a great chat:?
Although he has become smaller, he is not really a child. He is held hands by two adults and they get along like a family.
Conan: How embarrassing! I haven't held hands with my parents like this since kindergarten!
Conan froze for a moment, then came to his senses and continued the previous topic, pretending that he didn't care.
Lingshi watched them chatting with a smile, but he was actually laughing in his heart.
Midnight: System, did you see how he looked just now? Hahahahahahaha, Kudo Shinichi must be thinking of a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in his mind right now!
System: Host, you are so bad. He was petrified just now. Hahaha, how can you be so mean.
Although Huang Quan also noticed Conan's changes, he just thought that the child was embarrassed. Conan is so smart, it's a pity that he belongs to someone else's family.
Huang Quan: How can it be foster care? Why isn’t he adopted by our family?
At first he thought it was midnight and he had picked up the child again. Thinking back to their first meeting, he felt really nostalgic.
Huang Quan was sighing, Lingshi was laughing, and Conan was finding joy in suffering.
Conan: I feel like I've become part of their play, but I don't dare to say it.
Conan was helplessly led by two people, and the three of them walked in parallel. Fortunately, they did not meet other neighbors when going upstairs and did not block others' way.
After returning home, Huang Quan suddenly said:
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, Conan, I'll take you to school."
Conan: "Uncle Huang Quan, do you have a car? Why can't I see it?"
Huang Quan: "No, someone will come to pick me up. You can take a ride, so you don't have to get up so early."
Huang Quan bent down and rubbed Conan's head.
"Okay, go take a shower and play for a while. You don't have to go to bed so early tonight."
"it is good--"
Upon hearing this, Conan ran back to his room excitedly. He had been coveting the mystery novels that Ling Shi bought for him for a long time, but he just didn't have time to read them all at once.
Zero Hour: "Don't play on the computer for too long, and don't read too close to it."
Conan: "I know!"
In a flash, the person went back to the room, leaving Lingshi and Huangquan staring at each other. Lingshi went over and hugged the person again.
Zero Hour: "Be nice to Conan—"
Huang Quan: "You said it as if it was bad for you. What's wrong with me liking the child you brought back?"
"And Conan is very clever. He just tried to get my job out of me by using subtle tricks."
As an excellent intelligence officer, how could Huang Quan not see through Conan's little tricks and realize that he was just fooling himself by saying he was a programmer who wrote code.
Ling Shi: "You like it very much? Then we will keep it."
Huang Quan: "Didn't you say that someone else fostered him?
Ling Shi: "What's the matter? If you like him, just adopt him as your godson. This kid's parents are just letting him go anyway."
The Kudo couple, who were far away in Los Angeles, sneezed, and Conan, who was taking out a novel in the room, almost fell down because of the sneeze.
Huang Quan laughed. That was true. There was nothing they could do about not having children. Being able to raise Conan would make up for the regret.
Then the topic changed back to Huang Quan's departure tomorrow morning, Ling Shiyou complained:
"I'm so pitiful! I won't have my wife to hold me to sleep tomorrow night. Will I freeze to death?"
Then he was hit on the head by Huang Quan and given a yellow card warning.
"Just a warning, don't play tricks, I'll be back soon."
