This kind of attitude that always keeps people in suspense and pretends to be mysterious is really infuriating and annoying! Thinking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help but pout and complain secretly in her heart.

"Hurry up and tell me! I haven't even told Dad and Sonoko yet, Shinichi, how did you know I was going to meet Mom tonight?"

Xiaolan clenched her fists tightly, as if she would punch Shinichi without hesitation if he couldn't explain it clearly or if his answer didn't satisfy her.

"Ah! Could it be that... you peeked at my phone without my consent?" Xiaolan said angrily with her eyes wide open.

Shinichi sighed helplessly, then slowly began to explain, "You, after reading the text message Sonoko sent you, you subconsciously moved the screen upwards."

"Are you checking the previous text message? I was thinking you must have other plans later. If that's the case, then it's only natural that you'd check the text message to confirm the time."

Hearing this, Xiaolan showed a trace of doubt on her face: "But, Shinichi, you obviously couldn't see my phone screen at that time, right?"

Shinichi's lips curled up slightly, and he responded with a bit of pride and confidence, "Even if I can't see the picture, I can guess roughly from the movement of your fingers. Besides, from what I know about you, who else but your mother could make you pay so much attention to time and go out of your way to check it?"

"Wait a minute!" Xiaolan hurriedly called out to Shinichi, frowning slightly and said, "You didn't even give me a clear answer!" She put her hands on her hips and looked at Shinichi with dissatisfaction.

Shinichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and responded slowly: "Inside that cute little backpack of yours, there's a fashion magazine that you, Xiaolan, would never buy normally. Am I right?"

Hearing Shinichi say this, Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her bag with some guilt.

As Shinichi had said, the magazine was lying there quietly. She couldn't help but be secretly surprised, wondering how this guy could know so much.

"Uh..." Xiaolan didn't know how to refute for a moment, and could only respond hesitantly.

At this time, Shinichi continued his analysis confidently: "There's also a business card tucked into the middle of this magazine. And looking at your outfit today, it's obvious that it was carefully chosen, and you seem particularly confident in your outfit."

"Then the answer is obvious - you must have been spotted by a scout and chosen as a model on your way here, and you took a beautiful street photo of yourself, which is why you bought the magazine so proudly. Isn't that obvious?" Shinichi raised his eyebrows at Xiaolan as he spoke.

Xiaolan's face flushed instantly. She lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes with her fingers unconsciously, and muttered softly.

"You can show off a little to your friends and family by saying, 'Maybe you'll see my photo in this column next time,'"

Listening to Shinichi's words, Xiaolan's face gradually turned red.

"Haha, but you should be happy. If you just take a picture casually to make up the crowd, they generally won't give you their business card. So judging by the current situation, the chances of your photo being published in the magazine are still quite high!"

"The problem is that usually, the magazine photographers in this area are limited to the main street in Sanchome."

"And it's indeed quite a detour from that location to the aquarium we're in now." Xin said, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then why did Xiaolan choose to take this road to come here? I guess she had other plans in mind before coming here, and wanted to go somewhere else first."

"As for what the answer to this mystery is, just take a look at your lips and everything will become clear!" Shinichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Hearing this, Xiaolan's cheeks flushed instantly. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her lips and asked shyly: "What's wrong with my lips?"

"Haha, don't be nervous, Xiaolan. Look, your lips look a little brighter than usual. For a girl like you who almost never wears lipstick on weekdays."

"If this happens, it's most likely because you just consumed food containing oil. Also, I remember that there are quite a few fast food restaurants near that main road." Shinichi explained slowly.

"So, it's possible that he didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning and bought a burger on the roadside to fill his stomach while he was in a hurry."

"But judging from the strong interest you just showed in the food in this aquarium cafe, it doesn't seem like you can satisfy your hunger with just a burger." Shinichi continued to analyze.

"In this case, the most likely answer is to be able to eat only a small amount of food - samples from the supermarket. After all, the supermarket on that street sells a lot of prepared side dishes, and today happens to be a special sale day."

"I guess you were tempted by the side dishes that started to go on sale near dusk, so, Xiaolan, you went there specifically to take a look?" Shinichi speculated with a smile.

Hearing Shinichi's words, Xiaolan couldn't help feeling a little helpless. She wiped her lips gently.

"In this case, it is very likely that Xiaolan will just use the ready-made side dishes to prepare dinner for her father tonight. However, why would Xiaolan, who has always been frugal and has excellent cooking skills, do such a thing?" Shinichi continued to analyze.

"That's because you don't have enough time to cook. The reason is that you have a dinner appointment with someone tonight, right?"

"Of course, you even planned to show off in this outfit that would attract the attention of magazine photographers!" Shinichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

"Besides, the person we're going to dinner with tonight definitely won't be Sonoko, who's already down with a cold. If that's the case."

"Just from the subtle expression on your face when I saw you confirming the text message again, it's easy to conclude that the only possible person who would have dinner with you tonight is your mother, right?" Shin said while looking at Xiaolan with a confident smile.
