Chapter 48 Conan's Familiarity
Yuanzi's thoughts drifted back to noon that day like a dandelion dancing in the wind.

Many pink peach blossoms seemed to emerge in her eyes, and she looked intoxicated.

"They are both medical students at Beika University, especially Mr. Minagawa, he is so great..."

"Oh, there's also a guy called Wakamatsu. He's so strong, he's a good match for you. And he seems to be interested in you, isn't he?"

Seeing that Sonoko had once again become a fangirl out of habit, Xiaolan was speechless and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Squeak…

Just then, the sound of brakes was heard and a yellow car stopped next to Xiaolan and Sonoko.

The car door opened, and a tall, strong man in a red vest walked out and greeted Xiaolan enthusiastically: "Xiaolan, you are here, I have been looking for you just now."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Xiaolan raised her eyebrows. Although her emotions could not be seen from her expression, she seemed a little unhappy.

"Just in time!"

The passionate Yuanzi did not notice Xiaolan's abnormality and said in surprise.

The sturdy man grinned, then bowed to Xiaolan, who was much shorter than him, and said, "Xiaolan, there is one thing I must tell you today no matter what!"

In a corner near the street, a sneaky little figure was hiding in the darkness, quietly observing everything.

Who else could this guy be besides Conan?

Seeing the sturdy man's actions, his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

"This guy, could it be that he wants to..."

Conan's whisper became a little cold, and a creepy white light reflected on his lenses.

Seeing this strong man smiling so brightly on the street, Xiaolan was subconsciously stunned, feeling that something seemed to be wrong: "...Ah?"

The sturdy man leaned forward and said loudly: "Xiao Lan, I came here to invite you today, please go on a date with me!"

"........."

Xiaolan and Conan's bodies froze at the same time.

"I wonder if you could come with me to the Valentine's Day party tomorrow?" The sturdy man's face turned serious.

"Valentine's Day party?"

Before Xiaolan could respond, Sonoko asked, "Will Mr. Minagawa go too?"

"Of course." The sturdy man said as a matter of course: "After all, this party is held at his house."

"In that case, I'm going too!"

Yuanzi became excited.

She would not easily let go of the boy she had finally taken a fancy to.

Xiaolan was about to speak and wanted to reject the invitation of the strong man, but Yuanzi said quickly: "Xiaolan and I will go together!"

"Garden!"

Xiaolan glared at her best friend angrily.

Conan, who was far away, saw this and gnashed his teeth in anger, whispering, "Zonoko, this damn gossip!"

The sturdy man seemed not to hear the dissatisfaction in Xiaolan's tone, and his face was full of joy: "Is that so? That's great!"

"Thank you so much!"

After saying that, the strong man bowed again.

Seeing that the other party had gone to this extent, Xiaolan found it difficult to refuse and fell into silence for a short time.

"It's settled. I'll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon. Don't be late!" As soon as he finished speaking, the sturdy man opened the car door with joy and drove away.

After the burly man who was in the way left, Xiaolan exploded instantly.

"Sonoko! How can you just make a decision for me so casually?"

"Eh?" Sonoko suddenly laughed, took a step forward, and approached Xiaolan: "Looking at your reaction, I'm right. You like Shinichi, right?"

"It's because of Shinichi that you want to reject the invitations of other boys, right?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan's face suddenly turned red, and it seemed that steam was coming out of her head. She said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Who would like that kind of boring reasoning expert?"

Conan, who was hiding in the corner, heard this and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Sonoko, this nosy gossip..."

Of course he couldn't blame his girlfriend, so he had to let Sonoko take the blame.

Suddenly, a small hand rested on his shoulder, and a familiar voice came: "Conan, what are you doing hiding here?"

Conan was startled, turned around, and looked at the blond boy beside him in surprise: "Xiao Yu? When did you come here?"

"I came here earlier than you, but you just didn't notice me."

Ze Yu's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Sister Xiaolan was invited by someone else?"

"………Um."

Although Conan was speechless and didn't want to admit it, he finally nodded.

"It's okay, it's a small problem." Ze Yu patted his chest confidently: "Leave this matter to me!"

After saying that, with a bang, his body swelled up to that of a 20-year-old, and the casual clothes he wore changed from children's style to adult style.

Conan raised his head and looked at Ze Yu.

Ever since Conan became a child not long ago, he always needs to look up at others in order to see their faces clearly.

Switching to the 20-year-old form, Ze Yu's moderately long golden hair fluttered in the wind, his neutral and soft face was as white as frost, his skin was flawless, and his amber pupils were flickering with a faint light, as if containing a starry sky.

He looks like the most perfect work of art in the world. From a human aesthetic perspective, no flaws can be found at all.

It's popular with both men and women.

"Well………"

After Conan saw Ze Yu's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment and stood in the wind in a dishevel.

Conan’s first reaction was - shock, Xiaoyu is even more handsome than me!
No, she's prettier than me... Wait, something seems wrong? But it doesn't matter.

Conan's second reaction was - Hmm? Why does Xiaoyu look a little familiar?
Have I seen him before?

Conan is truly a straight man. It only took him three seconds to break free from Ze Yu's peerless beauty, and he even had time to think about other things.

He always felt that he should have met Ze Yu's adult appearance somewhere in the past, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed as if this had never happened.

However, when Conan thought about it more carefully, some vague impressions emerged in his mind.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

He must have really met Ze Yu who looked like an adult before, but Ze Yu at that time was not dressed like he is now.

Thinking of this, Conan remembered another thing.

He remembered that Ze Yu once said that he was more than six hundred years old.

If that’s the case, then even if Conan happened to meet the former Sawawa, that would be normal, right?
