Model worker and his little darling

Seeing Pingqing's defensive posture, Conan was speechless. "Pingqing-nii, what should I do?"

"I've said everything I need to say. What you do is up to you."

Haibara looked at Hirai, who shook his head. He wouldn't try to persuade Conan. Whatever Conan did was none of his business; he just wanted to watch the show.

Haibara frowned when she saw that Hirai refused.

Seeing the tension in their eyes, Conan felt abandoned. Weren't they on the same side? Didn't Haibara just confess to Hirai? How could they have secrets between them so quickly?

For a moment, the ward fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Pingqing stood up. "Alright, think it over yourself. We're leaving now."

After leaving the hospital, Haibara looked at Hirai and asked, "Why didn't you try to persuade him?"

“This matter is too important to him, let him think about it first, there’s no rush.”

With everyone's careful care, Conan's injuries recovered very well.

"His major organs were not damaged, and his recovery after the surgery is going well. If there are no complications, he can be discharged in another two or three days."

"However, his resistance will be weaker after the surgery, which may lead to an upper respiratory tract infection, which is actually just a common cold. You don't need to worry too much, just be careful."

Upon hearing this, Ping Qing's eyes flashed. "Do you have a cold?"

Then he looked at Conan, who was playing games in a wheelchair, with three little ones chattering away beside him.

Hearing that Conan was alright, Sonoko went straight over and snatched the game console from Conan's hand. "Alright, that's enough for today. We need to take the patient back to his ward."

After saying goodbye to the detective team that came to visit, the group returned to their hospital room together.

On the way, Sonoko and Ran talked about the garden party in three days.

"By the way, Ran, did you tell Shinichi? If he knows you're going to play the female lead, he'll definitely drop everything and rush back."

Ran looked at Conan gently, "No, I don't care. As long as Conan gets better and comes to see my performance, that's enough. You'll come, right, Conan?"

Conan looked at Ran and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the two of them, Sonoko's face twitched. "Oh my, why are you two looking at each other so affectionately? Ran, you haven't fallen for this brat, have you?"

"Sonoko, don't talk nonsense."

Hirakiyo suppressed a laugh; Sonoko was truly the queen of mystery.

Seeing the bandage wrapped around Sonoko's wrist, Conan asked curiously, "Sonoko-neechan, what happened to your hand?"

"I sprained my ankle while performing in a play, which means I can't play the knight anymore. But Shinichi-sensei will be performing in my place, so you all have to come and see Ran and him fall in love!"

The thought of Araide Tomoaki and Ran playing a princess and knight, and having a kissing scene, made Conan feel terrible.

As we walked noisily to the ward door, we heard arguing coming from inside.

"What are you thinking? Why did you buy lilies here? Their flower language is beheading, which is a very bad omen. Who buys lilies when visiting someone in the hospital?"

"Why didn't you just say so from the beginning, you idiot?"

Heiji pushed open the door and saw Hattori and Kazuha face to face, their foreheads almost touching.

"Excuse me, have we disturbed you two?"

Hattori pushed Kazuha aside, walked up to Conan, and stuffed the flowers into Conan's arms. "I heard that this kid was seriously injured, so I took a plane here after school to visit him."

Conan, looking speechless, held a large bouquet of white flowers. Taira no Kiyoshi patted Hattori on the shoulder, "Well done."

Dressed in black with white flowers, he's truly Conan's good friend. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there for a funeral.

After a brief chat, Hattori asked Ran to take Kazuha to buy a nicer bouquet of flowers.

After sending the three girls away, Hattori approached Conan, grinning and showing his bright white teeth. "Kudo, I heard that Ran is about to discover your true identity, isn't that right?"

Conan gave a haughty snort, "It's not that she's about to figure it out, it's that she already has. There are many past situations that prove she already knows, she just hasn't asked me yet."

"She's waiting, she's waiting for you to tell her the whole story in person. Since that's the case, you might as well tell her everything, that organization, and the drug that shrunk your body."

Taira looked at Hattori curiously. Was he being selectively emotionally intelligent? Why didn't he think about his relationship with Kazuha properly?

Conan lay in bed, and Ran was waiting for her to say those words. Heiji had also said them.

"Hattori, if it were you, what do you think would be the right thing to do?"

Hattori didn't say anything, he just stared blankly at Conan on the hospital bed.

Hearing this, Taira no Kiyoshi's lips twitched. Hattori couldn't even sort out his own feelings. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Taira no Kiyoshi had no choice but to break the deadlock.

"Why don't you talk about something else to change the mood?"

Hattori immediately moved closer to Taira, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Taira-nii, you have a girlfriend, so you must know a lot about relationships. Why don't you give Kudo some advice?"

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Why did he have to say anything? Wouldn't it be better for him to just watch the show and let those two have their own headaches?

"People are different, and my experience is not suitable for Conan."

"Hey, Pingqing, don't be shy. Tell us how you pursued your girlfriend and how you confessed your feelings."

Hattori's words piqued Conan's interest as well. Hirai looked at Hattori and asked, "What? Want to learn from me how to confess to Kazuha?"

Hattori jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Heiji, don't talk nonsense. Who confessed to that woman? I have nothing to do with that woman."

"Oh my, I only mentioned He Ye once, why are you so excited? It's not that I can't teach you, but pay the tuition first, and I guarantee you'll get what you want."

"tuition fee?"

Hattori's eyes widened. Heiji must be obsessed with money.

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. "My exclusive experience is very valuable. For our sake, not 998, not 98, just... I guarantee you'll succeed in your confession. How about that? That's a very reasonable price!"

Actually, he didn't know much. The most intense time was during his ambiguous relationship with Gin. After that, it was pretty much the same as before, except for more kissing, hugging, and sex.

Well, it's been more than ten days since he last saw Gin.

The old man handed the base over to him because he wanted to see how he would do it, and he wasn't afraid that the base would be ruined by him.

Hattori's entire face twitched uncontrollably; Taira no Kiyoshi was indeed ill.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Hattori, if Kazuha gets snatched away by someone else, you'll be crying then."

What Taira no Kiyoshi said to Hattori reminded Conan of himself; Ran had a new Tomoaki by her side, and Conan's sense of crisis instantly increased.
