Chapter 431 Lemon Pie

Senior Mami, who was standing behind Xiaolan, encouraged her with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaolan, it's just a little burnt. I don't think anyone will mind."

Xiaolan smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

"Really..." Uncle Maori, who was already a little drunk, couldn't help but say, "How can I make food that I'm not good at making delicious?"

It seems that Uncle Maori is blaming Xiaolan, but in fact, he is speaking for Xiaolan.

Uncle Maori's underlying meaning is...

If this lemon pie is indeed not delicious, don't blame Xiaolan. After all, Xiaolan is not very good at making lemon pie.

Uncle Maori's behavior is typical of protecting his daughter.

"But..." Xiaolan didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning in her father's words. When she heard her father say that, she suddenly felt unconvinced and wanted to refute.

Senior Mami interrupted her and said, "Okay, everyone try it first. If you are really not satisfied, we can talk about it later."

"Eat quickly."

After hearing what Senior Mami said, even though everyone felt a little embarrassed and reluctant, they ultimately did not refuse.

Face still needs to be given.

Everyone in the reasoning research group nodded reluctantly, and each picked up a piece of lemon pie and started eating.

Ze Yu is not as pretentious as others. Even though this plate of lemon pie is a little burnt, like a dark dish, there has never been any difficulty on Ze Yu's face from beginning to end.

Some are just a faint smile.

He picked up a piece of lemon pie and ate it happily. Seeing this, Huihara Ai picked up a piece of lemon pie without any hesitation and took a bite.

Although this lemon pie doesn’t look very good, it probably won’t taste very good, and may even be very unpalatable.

But for Xiaoyu's sake, Huihara Ai decided that no matter how bad the lemon pie was, she would insist on finishing the piece of lemon pie in her hand.

Haibara Ai opened her mouth with determination.

However, when she took a bite of the lemon pie, her eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s actually... quite delicious?

I can’t believe that such an ugly lemon pie actually tastes good.

Just when this thought came to Haibara Ai's mind, the others also started speaking.

After taking a bite of the lemon pie, they were all a little surprised and expressed their opinions.

“This pie…”

“Although it doesn’t look very good, it’s still delicious!”

"This taste is totally inconsistent with the image on the surface!"

As a die-hard supporter of Xiaolan, Conan showed a childlike smile and exaggeratedly shouted: "It's delicious!"

President Sawai sighed, "Even if compared to the lemon pie made by Mami, it's not much worse!"

From what he said, the lemon pie made by senior Mami tastes better than the one made by Xiaolan.

Ze Yu shifted his gaze from Xiaolan to senior schoolmate Mami.

To some extent, Senior Mami is a sourpuss. No wonder her classmates say that the lemon pie made by Senior Mami is delicious.

How can lemon pie made with lemon essence not be delicious?

Come to think of it, the reason why senior Mami is so good at making lemon pie was originally because of Shinichi.

Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she heard everyone's praise.

"Xiaolan." Senior Mami patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You see, the most important thing in cooking is the taste. The appearance is not important. If you don't try it, you won't know what the food tastes like." Seeing the smile on Senior Mami's face, Xiaolan suddenly blushed for some reason.

I have to say that Sister Mami has done a good job on her appearance and there is nothing wrong with her.

If we don't talk about her nature...

Ze Yu really couldn't give any compliments to this senior who started spreading rumors and causing trouble behind her back because her confession failed.

.........

After eating the lemon pie, everyone continued to party, but senior Mami seemed a little tired.

When everyone picked up the cake and lit the candles, they discovered that Senior Mami had fallen asleep on the sofa.

In response, everyone decided to save the cake until tomorrow morning and eat it after Senior Mami wakes up.

Everyone was getting ready to go to the karaoke bar, and even though senior Mami, the star of the party, had fallen asleep, it didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

Everyone left senior Mami on the sofa and headed towards the karaoke bar.

By the way... according to the rules of Conan's world, if you are alone, you will die, and even if you don't die, you will suffer.

But Ze Yu, who was familiar with this rule, had no intention of interfering. He left senior Mami and ran to the karaoke bar with everyone.

As for senior sister Mami, let her stay in the villa alone.

Although Ze Yu knew that something would happen to Senior Mami, he was still going out to play, and it seemed that he didn't care about the safety of Senior Mami at all...

But in fact, Ze Yu still cares about the safety of senior Mami.

Although this senior student has a bad personality, her crime is not punishable by death, and Ze Yu will not watch her get into trouble.

Ze Yu had already left a backup plan in the villa, so even if the senior sister encountered an accident, she would be fine.

Of course, in Ze Yu's opinion, there was no need to use this backup plan, because Ze Yu was confident that he could rescue Senior Mami before anything happened.

He kept a backup plan just in case. Ze Yu was a cautious person.

……I guess so?

.........

In karaoke.

Sawaha and Haibara Ai sat quietly on the sofa, watching the adults sing.

Vice President Tomoko, who didn't know how terrible Conan's singing voice was, boldly invited Conan: "Little boy, would you like to sing with me?"

"I can't sing..." Conan quickly refused.

On the other side, Xiaolan's face looked a little depressed. She glanced at Conan secretly, then looked away and continued in silence.

Like a heavy stone, silent and full of loneliness.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaolan?" As a good friend, Sonoko asked worriedly, "You look a little unhappy?"

"No way." Xiaolan came out of her silence and forced a smile.

Ze Yu walked over, looked up at Xiaolan, and suddenly asked: "Sister Xiaolan, are you thinking about Brother Shinichi?"

"Eh..." Xiaolan blinked her eyes helplessly after her thoughts were revealed.

"Xiao Yu, that's not right." Sonoko smiled and said, "In my opinion, Xiao Lan is not only thinking about Shinichi, but also about Senior Mami."

"After all, Senior Mami said before that she was Shinichi's first love."

"You know, Senior Sister is a very outstanding girl. Not only is she talented and beautiful, but she is also good at both literature and martial arts..."
