Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Time goes back to the present. Looking at the smiling Xiaolan in front of him, Conan was silent for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Remember, you didn't hear anything today, okay?

Shinichi had to work really hard to make his dad forget what he said! So, this is just a little secret between us~"

"it is good!"

Of course, Conan would not refuse this. As Kudo Shinichi, how could he possibly do such a thing as reminding his father-in-law of the bad things he had said about him?

However, at this moment, a few small voices came from the stairs beside:

"It turns out that Shinichi-nii is such a gentle person!"

"Of course! He even treated us to a roller coaster ride!"

"That's right, Shinichi-nii is a really good guy! Although we didn't get to ride the roller coaster in the end..."

"Who is where?"

After hearing the sound, Xiaolan frowned and looked towards the stairs vigilantly. She still remembered what she and the others were doing today! Therefore, when she heard the sound, she subconsciously became alert.

But soon, Xiaolan realized that what she just heard seemed to be the voices of several children. Although children could play pranks, things like taking photos, threatening, and making silent calls should have nothing to do with them!

The most important thing is that she seemed to have heard the voices of these children somewhere before!

Sure enough, following her question, the stairs fell silent for a moment, and then the voices of several children could be heard:

"What should we do? It seems like we've been discovered by Sister Xiaolan! Will she tell my mom? I don't want to get beaten!"

"Yuanta! You're being too loud! They'll hear you!"

"It's not like I meant to be so loud. Besides, Mitsuhiko, your voice is also very loud..."

Hearing this, Xiaolan looked helplessly at the empty staircase:

"Okay, you guys are Conan's friends, right? Stop hiding and come out!"

"What should we do? Sister Xiaolan asked us to go out! Should we go out?"

"No! If Mom knew I followed you in the trunk of someone's car, she would spank me!"

"Well, as long as we don't tell anyone, Sister Xiaolan shouldn't know how we got here!"

"Yes, as long as we all say we are here to play, Sister Xiaolan won't know!"

Listening to the three little ones' loud conspiracies, Conan glanced at the stairs with pity. You said, you guys are plotting, but the voices are so loud, how could Xiaolan not hear it! But fortunately, these little guys didn't give themselves away...

Just as Conan was thinking this, Mitsuhiko's voice rang out again at the stairs:

"But if we don't tell anyone, will Conan tell anyone? He knows where we are hiding!"

"Conan-kun isn't the type to tell tales! He won't tell anyone if we ask him!"

"That's right! Ayumi is right! If he dares to tell on us, then, then we won't do his homework with him."

Conan's expression froze as he listened to the three little ones' words. He mechanically raised his head and looked at Xiaolan beside him. Xiaolan was also smiling at him. However, he could feel a biting chill in Xiaolan's smile.

"Xiao-Sister Xiaolan..."

Conan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and looked at Xiaolan beside him. Xiaolan also looked at him with a smile:

"Conan is such a good boy! He even knows how to keep his classmates' secrets!"

Seeing this, Conan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and finally, he lowered his head honestly:

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, I was wrong!"

Xiaolan touched Conan's head:

"It's a good thing to help your classmates, but don't shield them in such a bad place, it will only lead to bad things!"

Conan nodded, and when he was about to say something, the three little ones came out from the stairs:

"Hello, Sister Xiaolan!"

"Sister Xiaolan, we weren't hiding in the trunk! We were just playing nearby and suddenly saw Conan, so we secretly followed him!"

"Are you here because of Miss Okino Yoko? Does she live here too?"

Seeing the three little ones reveal everything they had done in just a few words, Conan covered his forehead in despair.

Looking at the three innocent little ones, Xiaolan sighed helplessly:

"Okay, I know you guys followed me here secretly, hiding in the trunk of the car! I won't tell your parents this time, but don't let it happen again, okay? Don't put yourself in danger like this, okay?"

"Okay!" x3.

Seeing the three little ones being so well-behaved, Xiaolan nodded:

"Okay, now that we're here, let's go together! But don't run around!"

Just after Xiaolan turned around, the three little ones began to plot loudly again:

"Tell me, how did Sister Xiaolan know we were hiding in the trunk?"

"Conan must have been the one who snitched! Conan is so disloyal!"

"You guys think, could it be because of Conan-kun?"

"Ayumi, you are so kind! Apart from Conan, who else knows how we got here?"

"That's right! Our acting is so good, it's definitely not because of us!"

"But, I just feel that Conan didn't do that kind of thing..."

Conan felt a vein bulge on his forehead as he listened to the little ones' conversation. Ultimately, though, he sighed and said nothing more. He'd lose anyway, even if he won, by arguing with these elementary school kids. So, he decided it was best to ignore them.

However, although he did not defend himself, Xiaolan looked at him gently:

"Don't shirk responsibility so easily! What you did was wrong after all! Even if Conan informed me, that would be reasonable. Besides, Conan didn't tell me! You exposed it yourselves!"

"Ah! How could this happen! I thought I acted well! Sister Xiaolan, are you really not covering up for Conan?"

"Stupid Yuantai, how could Sister Xiaolan lie to us! She said we were the ones who exposed ourselves, so it must be our fault!"

"Yeah, yeah, I told you Conan-kun wouldn't betray us~"

"Oh, I'm not saying that Xiaolan-sister lied to us. I was just wondering if Conan didn't tell us the same story, so we were exposed!"

While the little ones were arguing, Conan looked at Xiaolan with some confusion. He didn't care about this kind of thing, so why did Xiaolan speak up for him?

Looking at Conan's puzzled expression, Xiaolan smiled:

"Since it's not your fault, it's better to explain it to your friends! It's really hard to be misunderstood by your classmates!"

Looking at Xiaolan's gentle smile, Conan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded:

"Ok!"
