Chapter 467 [Extra] Valentine’s Day (5)
Mouri Kogoro looked at his wife with worry.
His attitude has gradually become clear.
Now I'm just waiting for Fei Yingli's opinion.
As long as she, the mother, also votes for it, Mao Lilan can wear a blue and white stripe tomorrow.
"No"
Fei Yingli was still reluctant to make this decision:
"Do I have to be sent to the hospital?"
A mental hospital is not a nice place.
It's easy to get in, but hard to get out.
"This" Mouri Kogoro looked at the "chocolate from the underworld" in the refrigerator with a solemn expression:
This is "new one" and "sorrow" again
And Xiaolan now thinks of Conan as Shinichi.
If she is not sent to treatment, she will continue to live with the "Xinyi" in her imagination.
Mouri Kogoro was really worried that he would come home from an outing one day and see the headless body of Conan who had died tragically with a hatchet.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but trembled violently:
"Yingli, we can't hide our illnesses and avoid medical treatment!"
"."
"Let's keep an eye on it."
Fei Yingli is not as shrewd and capable in court at all.
She hesitated, struggled, and even began to deceive herself:
"Xiaolan may have done such a strange thing today because she was stimulated by Valentine's Day."
"Maybe. Maybe it's not as serious as we thought."
"All right."
Mouri Kogoro sighed deeply:
"Then let's keep an eye on it."
"Okay." Fei Yingli hurriedly steamed the rice with a heavy heart.
Then, the two of them looked at each other, tried their best to smile, pushed the door open and walked out of the kitchen.
"Dad, Mom!"
Mao Lilan's smile greeted her.
In just a few moments, she had already helped clear the dining table at home, spread a white tablecloth on the table, and placed red wine, candles and goblets in a Valentine's Day atmosphere.
"How do you think I'm preparing?"
Miss Maori acted coquettishly to her parents as if she was asking for credit.
"Ah, very good."
A forced laugh.
Looking at such a filial, sensible, and lovely daughter, Fei Yingli almost lost her temper again.
She couldn't hide the worry in her heart, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaolan, how have you been recently?"
"How are you doing?"
"I am fine!"
Mao Lilan tilted his head and showed a cheerful smile.
Anyone who sees this sunny smile will never believe that this angelic girl has psychological problems.
"Mom will be relieved that you are doing well."
Fei Yingli breathed a sigh of relief and turned to her husband with a suggestive look:
My daughter is generally quite normal.
It shouldn't be necessary to send him to the hospital for treatment.
"Don't take it lightly just because she's normal now."
"It could be 'intermittent mental disorder'."
Mouri Kogoro leaned into his wife's ear and said in a solemn tone that he had secretly crammed "Forensic Psychiatry" for a day and had a half-baked knowledge of professional terms.
"Yes." A trace of sadness flashed in Fei Yingli's eyes.
And the subtle change in her expression was caught by the sensitive Miss Maori.
"mom"
Mao Lilan soon realized something.
This requires no subtle observation.
Because she has been worried about this since she discovered that her father was secretly watching "Forensic Psychiatry" yesterday:
"Mom, my dad didn't say anything to you, did he?"
"Well" Concubine Yingli was at a loss for words for a moment, which was like asking for nothing.
"Really, did you say that?!"
Mao Lilan stood frozen on the spot:
It's over. Now her mother also knows the dirty information about her "crazy" kidnapping of elementary school students.
The shame of social death comes to mind:
"Mom, don't listen to my dad's nonsense."
"There's nothing wrong with my mind!"
"."
Fei Yingli's heart moved.
She turned to look at Kogoro:
My daughter looks really normal.
She can realize that she is being treated as crazy, but she also knows that she is not crazy!
"Don't be careless, Yingli."
Mouri Kogoro whispered in his ear:
“Crazy people don’t think they are crazy. This is called ‘lack of self-awareness’.”
"Dad——" Mao Lilan noticed her father's little movements:
"What on earth did you tell mom?!"
The veins on her forehead popped out, and her pink fists clenched loudly.
Mouri Kogoro was even more worried:
"'Manic episode', violent tendencies."
"."
Mao Lilan knew that he might not be able to explain it clearly in his lifetime.
And it’s even worse when explained clearly:
If she is not crazy, how can she explain the matter between her and Conan?
Just be a madman
It's better to be a lunatic than a pervert.
At least you won't be held criminally liable.
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan couldn't help but loosen her fist weakly, let go of her strength, and withered like a balloon with a hole in it.
"This" Mouri Kogoro's heart sank again.
He is now like a blind doctor searching for diseases on the Internet. No matter what he searches for, he can find a terminal illness:
"Emotional ups and downs, alternating between depression and mania."
"It's 'bipolar disorder.'"
“That’s what’s called ‘manic-depressive disorder’!”
"." Mao Lilan completely gave up resistance.
She stood there in despair, and simply said nothing.
"Total inhibition of movement and speech, often remaining motionless in fixed postures."
"Hiss" Mouri Kogoro took another breath: "This is serious 'psychomotor inhibition'!"
There was a deathly silence, and then...
"dad--"
"What, what's wrong?"
"Since standing still means you are sick."
"Then I'll have a 'manic attack'!"
"Eri."
"What do you think?"
After an intimate exchange of affection between father and daughter, Mouri Kogoro started discussing with his wife again with a serious expression:
"Does Xiaolan need to go to the hospital for treatment?"
"This." Fei Yingli looked at her husband's slightly swollen cheek.
Somehow, this made her feel a lot better:
"I think Xiaolan is still quite energetic now."
"The situation shouldn't be that serious yet, right?"
"but."
Fei Yingli suppressed the slightly raised corners of her mouth:
"Even if the problem is not serious, it is still a problem, and leaving it alone is not the answer."
"Kogoro, is there no other way to cure Xiaolan other than sending her to the hospital for treatment?"
Mouri Kogoro did not give a direct answer.
He hesitated for a while, and then tentatively said:
"Heart disease needs heart medicine."
"I think, since Xiaolan became like this because of emotional problems, then..."
"Do you want that boy from the Kudo family to come back to help?" Fei Yingli raised her eyebrows and asked eagerly.
But Mouri Kogoro spat bitterly:
"Bah! How can we count on him?"
"That brat disappeared for so long, and there's not even a word from him until now."
"I even called his parents, but they didn't even know where their son was!"
"not to mention"
The old father gritted his teeth and said:
"What's more, that bastard bullied our daughter into this!"
"That is, he has disappeared now."
“If you let me know where Kudo Shinichi is now, I’ll kill him if I don’t!!”
He cursed viciously.
The Conan kid passing by was so frightened that he trembled suddenly.
And Mouri Kogoro lowered his voice, avoiding everyone present, and leaned into his wife's ear and said:
"You can't count on that brat."
"I mean"
"Can you think of a way to introduce some boys to Xiaolan so that she can get to know more 'friends'?"
"In this way, she might be able to forget about that bastard and get out of her current psychological shadow."
"Well" Fei Yingli frowned slightly.
She knew what her husband meant:
As long as Xiaolan has a new love who can bring her happiness, she will definitely not indulge in the old love that hurt her deeply.
But the problem is
"Xiaolan is so sad for that boy. This feeling is not so easy to shake."
"And among the boys she knows."
"Can someone replace that Kudo Shinichi?"
Mao Lilan is very popular and knows many boys in school.
But those ordinary high school boys who are not qualified to be cast members in campus romance dramas, and can only become protagonists in alien dramas by being hit and killed by a dump truck.
In terms of appearance, personality, talent, talent, personal charm, and even family background, he is far from Kudo Shinichi.
Expect them to replace Kudo Shinichi's position in Xiaolan's heart?
Do they have this ability?
Fei Yingli knew that her daughter was not so easy to change her mind.
It's not enough to simply be better than Kudo Shinichi in all aspects of ability.
You also have to be patient, sincere, and know how to take care of Xiaolan at all times, so that you can increase Xiaolan's favorability to the fullest without even realizing it.
Only in this way can there be a little bit of hope.
But is there such a man in Xiaolan's social circle?
"have."
Mouri Kogoro nodded strangely.
"You" Fei Yingli immediately understood: "You mean Lin Xinyi?"
"Isn't this possible?"
In fact, Fei Yingli also doubted Lin Xinyi's thoughts at first about her daughter.
Because he called her aunt as soon as they met.
Even a three-year-old child who knows nothing about the world will obediently call her sister when he sees her appearance.
But Lin Xinyi called her aunt.
Fei Yingli really couldn't think of any reasonable explanation other than "because she wanted to pursue her daughter, so she deliberately distanced herself from her 'future mother-in-law'."
But she gradually discovered it later.
Lin Xinyi actually didn't think that much.
He just felt from the bottom of his heart that she was older.
Later, Lin Xinyi got a girlfriend who was more beautiful than Xiaolan out of thin air and ended up being single inexplicably.
Fei Yingli also completely gave up the idea of mother-in-law looking at "son-in-law candidates".
"No, it's impossible for him to be with Xiaolan."
"That guy already has a girlfriend."
Fei Yingli shook her head decisively.
“There’s actually something to be said for this.”
"I should have told you before, that boy clings to our daughter every day, and seems to still have some thoughts about Xiaolan."
"That's even worse!"
Fei Yingli found it difficult to accept:
"How can a man like this, who wants to be in two boats, be reliable?"
"It's not as serious as having two boats."
"That guy Lin Xinyi has been having relationship problems with Miss Chrissy recently. Maybe they've been breaking up secretly for a long time - that's why he fell in love with Xiaolan."
"the most important is"
Mouri Kogoro has been speaking for the candidate Lin Xinyi, and he even seems to have received Lin Xinyi's black money and is preparing to sell his daughter at a discount.
The reason is also very simple:
Now besides Lin Xinyi, he had no choice at all.
This is the only man who has hope of saving Xiaolan from suffering and making her forget Kudou Shinichi completely.
"And no matter how unreliable that guy is, he is still a living adult!"
"It's better than a fantasy elementary school student 'Kudo Shinichi', right?"
"Well" Fei Yingli couldn't help but quietly fell into deep thought.
"Lin Xinyi him."
"Is he really going to break up with his girlfriend?"
Unknowingly, the old mother's tone also quietly relaxed.
But Fei Yingli still maintained due vigilance:
"Kogoro, isn't this just your own conjecture?"
"That Miss Chris is no worse than our daughter."
"Today is Valentine's Day. If Lin Xinyi is really determined to break up with his girlfriend and pursue Xiaolan wholeheartedly."
"Then shouldn't he be here now?"
The words just fell
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang."
"Is anyone here?"
Lin Xinyi's voice sounded outside the door.
Fei Yingli, Mouri Kogoro: "."
They looked at each other.
The next second, before Haihara Ai could put down the fashion magazine in her hand, she jumped off the sofa and opened the door for her boyfriend who came to pick her up.
Uncle Maoli greeted him enthusiastically:
"oops!"
"Lin Sang, no, Shinichi, what are you doing?"
He opened the door and took a look around. After discovering that Lin Xinyi came to visit alone, his expression became even more joyful:
"Why are you here alone?"
"Uh?" Lin Xinyi at the door was slightly startled: "Mr. Maoli, are you at home too?"
"Hey, what's your name, Mr. Mori?"
Mouri Kogoro enthusiastically took Lin Shinichi's arm:
"They're all one family."
"Just call me uncle from now on!"
It’s still the first update. Every update I’ve written lately has been very confusing. I’m really afraid that I’ll accidentally get embarrassed again.
