Chapter 447 The Lost Miss Yuanzi
There is something else that Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko want to discuss in secret.
But Mao Lilan and Belmode had already come out of the fitting room and came to them side by side.
"Yuanzi, I leave it to you."
Silently, Mouri Kogoro gave Suzuki Sonoko an encouraging look.
"Yes." Miss Suzuki nodded firmly.
She is determined to test the relationship between Xiaolan and Chris.
Although the scenes I experienced at the school festival were convincing and impactful enough.
But just because the impact of this experience was so strong and so bizarre that Suzuki Sonoko really couldn't believe that Xiaolan would do something like that with a girl in the dressing room.
"That's probably just my imagination, well, hallucination."
Suzuki Sonoko kept hypnotizing herself in her mind, and secretly made up her mind:
"We must carefully test the relationship between Xiaolan and Chris before drawing any conclusions."
She was thinking this, and then...
"Garden!"
Mao Lilan trotted over happily.
She wore her new dress and spun around beautifully in front of her best friends:
"Do you think I look good in this dress?"
After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko looked up:
"Forehead"
It looks good, of course it looks good.
When someone looks like Xiaolan, she will look good even if she wears curtains.
But the problem is
"Why are you and Miss Chris wearing the same clothes?"
Mao Lilan and Belmode were wearing two dresses of the same style.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is "sister outfit".
In Lin Xin's first glance, this is a "parent-child outfit."
But now, in the eyes of Miss Suzuki,
"Is this a couple costume? Right?!"
She roared with shock in her heart.
Miss Maori didn't notice this at all, she just held Belmode's arm affectionately beside her, as if they were two girls standing side by side, showing off their beauty:
"Because this skirt is very beautiful. So Miss Chris specially picked one for me."
"She is an expert in dressing."
This is not wrong.
Belmod's aesthetics and taste in fashion and clothing are not comparable to these two little girls.
The clothes she picked for herself and Xiaolan were indeed suitable for them both.
but
"It still looks like a couple's costume."
"Is Miss Chris's attitude towards Xiaolan too intimate?"
Suzuki Sonoko's feeling is not wrong.
Belmod's affection for Mao Lilan was far more than just a simple friend.
And the relationship between them has also heated up rapidly in these days of getting along, so good that even her best friend is envious.
You can understand this by looking at the eye-catching "couple outfits" that Miss Maori and Belmod are wearing now, and the two arms that are naturally linked together.
"Well" Suzuki Sonoko hesitated several times, wanting to test but unable to speak.
He just stood there, hesitant to speak, looking very strange.
She didn't even notice it herself.
But Mao Lilan, who was delicate and thoughtful, vaguely noticed something.
She let go of Belmod's arm, bit Belmod's ear, and said softly:
"Miss Chris, Yuanzi seems a little unhappy."
"Is it because the two of us are too close, making her feel 'left out'?"
"It's possible." Belmode nodded:
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't hide her thoughts at all, and one look at her face told her that something was wrong.
"Do you feel lost because your 'best friend' was taken away?"
"Young girls are so sensitive."
Belmod shook his head in amusement.
Then she winked at Mao Lilan considerately, and then deliberately raised her voice and said:
"Xiaolan, let me go to the counter next to you first and pick out some suitable clothes for you."
With that said, she took the initiative to leave the place and gave her alone space to these two best friends.
Suzuki Sonoko was still confused and dazed.
Mao Lilan came forward with an apologetic look and gently held her hand:
"Sorry, Sonoko."
"Do you think I have gotten too close to Miss Chris recently?"
"Huh?" Miss Suzuki trembled suddenly:
Xiaolan asked suddenly. Could it be that she had noticed that she was aware of her relationship with Miss Chris?
Suzuki Sonoko felt nervous.
However, I saw Xiaolan taking the initiative to talk to me about these "sensitive contents".
Suzuki Sonoko, who was eager to test the other party's attitude but was unable to speak, soon realized that this was a good opportunity to speak openly and honestly for both parties.
"Yeah, that's right."
Suzuki Sonoko first made some insinuations:
"Xiaolan, you and Sister Chris are indeed too close."
"You obviously haven't known each other for long, but your relationship is better than the two of us."
"Especially the way Sister Chris looks at you, there is always a feeling of love and affection like a family member!"
"Isn't this too strange?"
Mao Lilan: "."
Yuanzi is indeed jealous!
It seemed that I had indeed neglected this good best friend unintentionally.
She was blaming herself in her heart, but she heard Suzuki Sonoko muster up the courage to ask further meaningfully:
"Xiaolan, between you and Miss Chris."
"Is there any secret you are hiding from me?"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan's pupils shrank:
secret? Of course there is.
The fact that Miss Chris is actually a cadre of a criminal organization and has become her "real mother" for some reason is of course a shocking secret.
Since it's a big secret, naturally you can't talk about it everywhere.
Mao Lilan also didn't want Yuanzi to be involved in this dispute.
As a result, she hesitated and hesitated for a while, and actually became visibly nervous.
"Hiss" Seeing her best friend's reaction, Suzuki Sonoko's heart couldn't help but sink:
Xiaolan felt guilty!
There really is some hidden secret between her and Chris!
So, will the reality be what she thinks?
Suzuki Sonoko swallowed nervously.
She was preparing for a showdown with Xiaolan and hit the point:
"Xiaolan, before the school festival performance started a few days ago."
"I went back when you and Sister Chris were 'reviewing the script' in the dressing room."
"W-what?!"
Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned pale.
At that time, Conan was taking drugs and getting bigger in the dressing room, which indeed caused quite a stir.
And Conan's true identity is also one of the secrets she tries hard to hide.
"Yuanzi. You."
Mao Lilan's voice trembled slightly in nervousness:
"What did you see?"
"I did not see anything."
"I was just outside the door and heard some strange noises."
"It's like" Suzuki Sonoko's voice paused and her cheeks turned slightly red: "It's like someone is 'screaming'."
She was really too embarrassed to use a more explicit description.
But at this moment, when she looked at her best friend Xiaolan, her eyes were full of straightforward questions:
What on earth were you and Chris doing in the dressing room?
"I happened to fall in the room at that time."
Mao Lilan didn't dare to tell the truth.
She just avoided the sight of her best friend with evasive eyes, and replied with a guilty conscience:
"The sound you heard could be my scream."
"Yeah."
Suzuki Sonoko's tone was full of disbelief.
And seeing Xiaolan so guilty and flustered, as if she didn't bring it upon herself, her heart sank to the bottom:
"Xiaolan, you are lying."
"Yes, I'm sorry." Mao Lilan was forced into a corner.
Her clumsy lies couldn't hide anything, and the truth seemed to be coming out.
But she has one last trick:
"Garden."
Mao Lilan opened her big watery eyes.
She held Sonoko's hand to her chest, raised her head and looked over pitifully:
"Sorry, there are some things I really can't tell you for the time being."
"I hope you can stop asking any more questions, okay?"
"This" Suzuki Sonoko was slightly startled.
The flash of Xiaolan's big watery eyes made her heart soften immediately:
Yes, this is Japan in the 1990s. The current public opinion atmosphere in society still tends to be conservative and traditional.
Xiaolan probably doesn't have the courage to admit the truth.
As a close friend and best friend, I should stand by her side when she is discriminated against and oppressed by the entire society!
How could we use discrimination and prejudice like this to force her to admit things she didn't want to admit?
"sorry."
Suzuki Sonoko repented.
She also held Xiaolan's hand tightly and said extremely seriously:
"I won't say any more."
"Xiaolan, since this is your secret, then you should keep it well."
"When you are willing to tell me, it will be too late to tell me."
"Um!"
Mao Lilan nodded heavily.
In a warm and moving atmosphere, the two best friends looked at each other affectionately.
For a moment, they reached a certain consensus tacitly.
And just then.
Miss Mori opened her arms affectionately again and embraced Suzuki Sonoko intimately:
"Thank you, Sonoko."
"Please forgive me for my 'snubbing' towards you before, but..."
She paused slightly and her tone became firm:
"My feelings for you have never changed."
Suzuki Sonoko: "???"
"No matter how close I am to Miss Chris, my best friend will always be you."
"Friends."
Miss Sonoko subconsciously added quotation marks around the word "friend":
"You mean the same 'friend' as Miss Chris?"
"Of course it's the same!"
"No" Mao Lilan thought seriously:
"In my heart, you are more important than Miss Chrissy."
Suzuki Sonoko: "."
Goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body.
First I felt uncomfortable, and then I felt a strange and unspeakable feeling:
At this moment, the heat coming from Xiaolan's body, the soft touch of her limbs when they were close together, and the faint body fragrance seemed to have become deadly poison.
It was obviously something very familiar, but now it seemed so exciting.
Miss Suzuki almost fainted from the stimulation:
What, what do you mean?
Is Xiaolan confessing to me?
I had clearly revealed her secret, and Xiaolan must have known that I knew her secret, but she tacitly did not pierce the last layer of window paper.
But Xiaolan clearly knows that, and she still says so now
Is this really a confession? !
“No, no”
Suzuki Sonoko's cheeks became hot and red:
"Xiaolan, I. I don't like girls."
"What?" Mao Lilan didn't hear Yuanzi's voice, which was as small as a mosquito.
She just opened her big innocent eyes, flickering at her best friend at this close distance.
"Well" Suzuki Sonoko was speechless.
Looking at Xiaolan's angelic and pure face, her heart was beating so fast that her outlook was quietly distorted.
Finally, after a long silence
"well"
Suzuki Sonoko shook her head sadly.
She broke away from Xiaolan's warm embrace and took several steps back:
"Xiaolan, I wish you had told me earlier."
"????"
A string of big question marks appeared on Mao Lilan's head.
But Suzuki Sonoko just sighed deeply in disappointment, turned around and left Xiaolan's side.
She thought of the men she had admired:
Kidd, Lin Shinichi, Kyogoku Makoto, and so many scumbags that I can’t even remember their names.
Oh, Xiaolan, if you had told me this earlier.
What else is going on with them? !
After all, it was missed.
The second is later
