Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan

After Hua Lantian confirmed the evening menu with Ayako, he jumped up quickly. He asked Ayako to lie down for a while and he quickly cleaned up and went to make breakfast. He would call her after he finished breakfast.

Breakfast was a simple meal of tomato and egg noodles. After finishing their meal happily, the two of them cleared the dishes and went out. They planned to take a walk and go shopping today. Although they could call someone to have the best quality food delivered to their door, the couple occasionally really enjoyed this rare time of shopping, buying groceries and cooking together.

After walking for a while to digest their breakfast, the couple just arrived at the bus stop. Their destination for shopping today was Mihua Department Store.

"We've arrived at the Rice Flower Department Store! We've arrived at the Rice Flower Department Store! Passengers who wish to get off, please exit through the rear door...!"

The Chinese house, located in one of the golden streets of Beika-cho, was naturally not far from Beika Department Store, and they arrived there in a short while.

As soon as they got off the car, they saw a very familiar person, that was Xiaolan, who had a very recognizable unicorn hairstyle walking in the crowd.

When Hua Lantian saw this, he was shocked. How did he meet Xiaolan here? There was originally a gathering that night for a group of people who knew or half knew the truth, so he did not invite Xiaolan because he was afraid that the truth would be exposed or someone would speak too quickly.

But unexpectedly, Ayako became interested. She immediately waved her hand and asked happily but with a hint of doubt, "Xiaolan, why are you here...?"

"Ah, it's Sister Ayako and Brother Lantian. What a coincidence! Are you here to buy something too? I'm here to buy some things. Conan said he's staying overnight at Professor Agasa's house today, so he won't be back for dinner. And my dad just sent me the commission, so we were planning to have a big dinner for the three of us..."

Xiaolan heard a familiar voice calling her, and when she turned around, she saw Ayako and Hua Lantian. She was so surprised that she told them everything.

Hearing this, Ayako glanced at Hua Lantian inconspicuously, thinking that you don’t even know that the culprit who disturbed the dinner of a family of three is standing in front of you.

However, Hua Lantian had just greeted Xiaolan and was trying to divert his attention in a slightly awkward manner, trying not to think about anything. However, if Hua Lantian knew what Ayako was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice. He had never intended to agree to it in the first place, and it wasn't her. Of course, he definitely didn't dare to say it, and it was time to tell Ayako some things.

Ayako and her sister's best friend, Xiaolan, who is now also her good sister, started chatting as they walked.

Hua Lantian is responsible for checking the ingredients and supplies that need to be purchased at Mihua Department Store today. As for some of the more high-end ingredients or those that are rarely seen in Neon, Hua Lantian basically has them in stock, or has already asked someone to deliver them to the door.

Not long after, Hua Lantian and Ayako said goodbye to Xiaolan, who had returned with a lot of things. They forced a lot of food on top of what Xiaolan had already bought, saying that they had eaten all of these things and highly recommended them, and asked her to give them to Uncle Maori to try, to thank him for his care all the time.

At this point, Xiaolan felt embarrassed to refuse, so she told them that she would invite them to dinner after Conan came home from Professor Agasa. Hua Lantian and Ayako agreed happily.

After returning home, Hua Lantian started preparing the ingredients, while Ayako set up the dining area. Of course, she was busy for a short time before the first guest arrived, that was Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi came and helped clean up. Maybe it was because of the sisterly bond, but Haibara Ai left Professor Agasa, who had already started chatting with Conan, Kuroba Kaito, and Terai Huang Zhisuke, and came over to help. Of course, her main purpose was to see her sister...
