Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Chapter 357 Unless I can’t help it

"Uncle, we haven't had dinner yet. Didn't we just get in your car to go eat? Do you think we've been drunk and stupid?"

Xiaolan explained speechlessly.

"Oh, sorry, it's just my job! After all, there are at least a hundred people who ask me if I believe in love in the back seat of my car, if not a thousand.

So this is a conditioned reflex for me. The key words "believe in love" are triggered, and I subconsciously say "I vomited 20,000 yen on the car. I'm really sorry!"

The driver said embarrassedly that it was indeed a conditioned reflex. After that, he realized that he was wrong. The couple looked very sober and there was no smell of alcohol. They did not look like drunkards.

"It's okay. We just met some kids who started talking about love. So I was wondering if this world is abnormal, or if we are abnormal?"

Xiaolan explained again why she asked such a question.

"What you're saying is completely normal. Elementary school students these days are incredibly precocious. I've driven quite a few elementary school couples. Kids these days are incredibly forward-thinking, unlike our generation."

The driver was also sighing. He had seen all kinds of people all day long, and he was no longer surprised.

"Okay, is that so..." After hearing the driver's answer, Xiaolan realized that the pace of the times is indeed changing, and perhaps she has not adapted yet.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and complained to Kudo Shinichi.

"Shinichi, you actually made fun of me just now. That's too abominable and unforgivable!"

"I'm sorry, I just thought of something happy." When Kudo Shinichi saw that the criticism was turned towards him, he quickly defended himself.

"What makes you so happy?" Xiaolan asked relentlessly.

"My girlfriend and I kissed today. Is that a happy thing? I was specially trained in Hawaii. No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh..."

Kudo Shinichi paused for a moment, and since he didn't seem to be talking nonsense, he continued after 5 seconds.

"Unless you can't help it!"

"Puchi!!" This time it was the driver in the front row who laughed out loud.

"Shinichi, what are you talking about?" Kudo Shinichi's words not only made the driver laugh, but also made Xiaolan laugh. Originally, it was because Kudo Shinichi embarrassed her that she deliberately made things difficult for Kudo Shinichi.

As a result, Kudo Shinichi's words "Unless I can't help it" made everyone else in the car laugh.

"Hahaha... It's okay, this is normal. You see, I'm professionally trained too, so I can't help myself, right?"

The driver's additional explanation immediately raised the joy level to the maximum.

Next, with Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan and the driver chatting casually, they soon arrived at the door of the Beido Hotel.

"It was a pleasure chatting with you two along the way. See you next time if we have the chance! I hope you two have fun tonight!" The driver did not forget to make a joke before leaving.

This made Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan blush. After all, they were still shy. Fortunately, there was no one else around, and the driver was very tactful. After saying this, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs!" After a while of cool breeze, the temperature on Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan's faces finally dropped, and then he said to Xiaolan.

"Well... okay!" Xiaolan was already a little nervous because it was her first dinner date with Kudo Shinichi after they started dating, and she became even more nervous when the driver reminded her of this before leaving.

It was Christmas at the Beido Hotel, the peak dating season for couples, and also dinner time. The conditions at Kudo Shinichi's house were pretty good, but with that alone, he couldn't make a reservation at the most popular revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Beido Hotel.

This was also thanks to the help of Fujiwara Hiroshi's financial ability, but Kudo Shinichi himself was completely unaware of all this.

I thought I was extremely lucky that I could book such a good restaurant as the venue for my first date with Xiaolan on such a special day.

Since it is the top-floor restaurant and the iconic restaurant of Beihu Hotel, there is a special elevator that leads directly to the top-floor restaurant.

The display and style were at their peak. There were only Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan in the elevator. Since it went directly to the top floor, even without stopping in between, it still took quite a while to get there.

The two of them stood very close to each other in the elevator. In this confined and narrow space, Kudo Shinichi could even hear Xiaolan's beating heartbeat.

At this time, Kudo Shinichi took Xiaolan's hand and signaled her to relax and not be too nervous, as he was with her.

Feeling the warmth from the palm, Xiaolan slowly relaxed. She thought to herself it was funny because she had always wanted to establish a relationship with Kudo Shinichi.

As a result, now that we have established a relationship and started a formal relationship, when we go out on a date, my heart starts beating faster and I become too nervous.

This may be because I am too worried and anxious. I always feel that my relationship with Kudo Shinichi is like a dream, so my heart beats so fast.

However, the warmth transmitted through Kudo Shinichi's palm made her feel powerful. It was really Shinichi, and the real touch gave her great encouragement.

Kudo Shinichi is quite well-off, and he brought her to such a high-end restaurant. She was also afraid that she didn't know some etiquette and would make a fool of herself and embarrass Kudo Shinichi.

This is also another reason why Xiaolan is uneasy at the moment. Encouraged by Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan decides to express her concerns.

"Shinichi, I've never been to such a high-end restaurant before. I'm afraid I might be too rude and embarrass you."

"Silly girl, why are you worried? I'll take care of everything!" Kudo Shinichi pulled Xiaolan over to face him, with one hand still holding Xiaolan's other hand.

Then he scratched Xiaolan's nose with his other hand and comforted her softly.

"By bringing you to a restaurant like this for dinner, I wanted to show you how much I value you and our first official date.

Relax and do your normal thing. I want you to have good memories instead of letting this restaurant become a burden to you.

If it becomes a burden, wouldn't it be worse than just eating at an ordinary restaurant? Just relax, enjoy your dinner, and leave the rest to me."

"Shinichi..."

Xiaolan called out Kudo Shinichi's name softly, and was stunned. She didn't expect to see such a gentle and considerate Kudo Shinichi. You know, Kudo Shinichi's emotional intelligence was extremely low before, otherwise it would be impossible for their relationship to remain as childhood sweethearts for so long.
