In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

"And don't associate underwear with sex!"

"Underwear is a tool to showcase the beauty of a woman's physique, and we should focus our attention on its shaping and slimming functions."

"As for the rest, those are private matters, we'll discuss them in private!"

"You really know how to argue!"

Shiho was speechless at his impassioned speech, as he could spout a bunch of grand principles even while shopping at an underwear store.

"How is this considered sophistry? Just tell me, what I said makes sense."

Xia Ye chuckled and retorted.

"Actually, this gentleman is right!"

The sales clerk, who noticed the good-looking couple as soon as they entered the store, approached Shiho with a smile and said:

"Many male customers who come to the store with their girlfriends or wives are too embarrassed to come in. Actually, if they were as relaxed as your boyfriend, our female customers would be even happier..."

"You have a point!"

Shiho's attempt to tease Natsume failed, but her mood improved considerably.

For now, I'll stop dwelling on Vermouth's opposition.

........

Shiho chose the clothes and went inside to try them on.

Xia Ye didn't seem to have any intention of spying on them.

If he were at home, he would definitely have some thoughts, because that's what Qingqu (a Chinese idiom for amusement) would be about.

Forget about doing it in public; that's a crime!

but--

[Shiho went inside to change clothes, and she still hasn't told me what she chose!]

Actually, I lied just now. How could I not have all sorts of wild thoughts when I'm in a store like this? After all, thoughts are much harder to control than actions!

Ha ha!

Shiho, who was changing her clothes, pouted.

I knew you weren't some kind of innocent person.

You still say you won't think about eroticism?

You should apologize to the shop assistant who trusted you so much, you jerk!

I wonder if Shiho will wear it for me?

will not!

Absolutely not!

Shiho looked at the very special outfit she had secretly chosen and her face instantly turned red.

Xia Ye saw this thing.

She didn't even dare to imagine what might happen!

By the way, the movie is about to start.

[Shiho actually chose a horror movie, what a unique girl!]

hum!

You're smart enough not to say I'm weird.

Shiho actually wanted to watch a sweet romance movie with Natsume, as the atmosphere would be great and it would be perfect for nurturing their relationship.

but--

Horror movies can also build relationships!

That depends on what the girl does!

Vermouth, just you wait, I'm going to win today!

........

The sixth floor of Mihua Department Store.

Because we rode in Sonoko's luxury car.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi arrived earlier.

The two wandered around the sixth floor and bought some simple clothes and small accessories.

Unlike the seventh floor, which specializes in well-known brands.

The sixth floor is almost entirely comprised of affordable shops.

It is especially suitable for students and white-collar workers with low income.

Of course, gardens are not included in this category.

If she wanted, her family could buy up all the parent companies of those luxury brands on the seventh floor.

"Wow, Shiho Miyano is already way ahead!"

As Sonoko walked along the road, she kept flipping through her logbook, constantly observing the battle situation.

"Has Vermouth given up after such a long silence?"

"Sonoko, be careful!"

Sonoko, engrossed in reading her log, nearly bumped into someone, but Ran quickly pulled her back.

"Oh, sorry~"

Sonoko closed her journal and suddenly asked curiously:

"Ran, what kind of girl is Shiho Miyano? She actually chose the horror movie!"

"I don't know!" Xiaolan shook her head. "But she must be very strong."

"Before Xia Ye transmigrated, she lived in such a terrible organization for more than ten years."

"I couldn't do it, so I really admire her!"

"What's wrong?" Sonoko teased with a smile.

"You, the leading lady, and she, the half-lead lady, have developed a mutual appreciation?"

"Sleep my ass!"

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at her, annoyed, and ignored her.

"It's almost time, we should go to the movie theater!"

"Okay!" Sonoko walked towards the center of the mall.

"If we take the escalator down, we might run into the two of them again!"

"You wouldn't recognize me even if we met—" Xiaolan pouted. "Don't forget, we don't even know what they look like!"

"Ran, do you believe me? I can recognize them at a glance!" Sonoko said confidently. "Want to make a bet?"

"No gambling!"

Ran refused outright, giving Sonoko no chance whatsoever.

The two went down one floor and arrived at the fifth floor, which is the floor where top-quality jewelry is sold.

The downward escalator is on the other side.

Just as the two were about to go around, Sonoko suddenly beamed with joy and pointed to the fourth floor, exclaiming:

"Xiao Lan, look over there!"

Xiao Lan looked in the direction she pointed.

There was a man and a woman standing there.

The man is handsome and sunny, and the woman is youthful and beautiful.

Moreover, these two people gave me a sense of déjà vu.

Ran now believed Sonoko's words; she really could recognize her at a glance. It turned out that this feeling was so unique!

"Let's get down here quickly!"

Sonoko grabbed Ran's hand and ran across the street.

"Wow, he really is a handsome guy!"

"Xiaolan, I'm announcing that I'm in love!"

"Okay, okay, okay~"

"as long as you are happy!"

Xiaolan shook her head helplessly.

This girl has been in dozens of relationships a year, but she's never been serious about anything. This time—

Is she really going to do this?

Chapter Sixteen: The Meeting of the Logholders

Next to the ticket machine at the movie theater.

Xia Ye looked up at the fifth floor.

Shiho followed his gaze but found nothing.

"what happened?"

"Someone was watching us just now!"

"Is it an enemy?"

Shiho was a little nervous.

However, the thought of Xia Ye being by her side immediately dispelled her tension.

"No, they didn't mean any harm."

Xia Ye frowned slightly. Although there was no malice, she felt as if the other party was about to devour her.

"I guess she just glanced at you a couple more times because you're handsome~"

Shiho looked Natsume up and down.

This face is truly irresistible to girls.

Moreover, it was his disguised appearance.

He was even more handsome than this when he wasn't disguised.

Shiho was actually a little troubled, wondering why he was so handsome.

I'm not picky about looks, so it's better if the person I like is more ordinary-looking, and I'll attract fewer suitors!

"Maybe he's looking at you?"

Natsume looked at Shiho and teased her:

"My Shiho is so beautiful."

"Those men can't resist your charm!"

"Heh, who cares!"

Shiho's pretty face seemed disdainful, but she was secretly delighted.

If I remember correctly, this is the first time Xia Ye has ever complimented me on my looks, so it's a very memorable moment!

And he even said he was Shiho from his family, hehehe.

If she weren't usually so aloof, Shiho felt she might have burst out laughing like an idiot...

"It's getting late, let's go in—"
