Chapter 158: The Chocolate Question

"I don't look quite fat?"

Kogoro Mao Li looked at his somewhat impatient daughter with a strange expression.

"At most you're just well-developed; how could that be called fat?"

His own daughter's situation was hardly close to being fat.

Two growth spurts had at most made his daughter reach the appearance of a grown woman earlier.

"I remember Eri was much like you back then; her body started its second growth in her third year of high school."

"Back then, it really made those idiots around us envious to death."

Before graduating high school, he and Eri had gotten together, and right after graduation, they went straight to meet the parents.

Thinking back now, Kogoro Mao Li felt extremely pleased just recalling the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of those sons.

"Click!"

"Ahaha~ So Dad has moments of pride because of Mom."

Hearing the sound, he froze for a moment.

Then he saw his daughter pointing her phone's camera at him.

"Dad, if you don't want me to show these words and this photo to Mom, make sure to prepare a gift for her on Valentine's Day."

Mao Li Lan gave her father a final ultimatum with a wicked smile.

"You..."

Seeing his daughter's triumphant look, Kogoro Mao Li felt as though he was watching a little devil dancing proudly right in front of him.

This is done; now I'm going to bleed a lot.

Before, he hadn't felt his little cotton jacket was letting the wind in.

But now, just two days after moving out, he felt this little cotton jacket was already full of holes.

However, considering there are many flies eyeing Eri lately, Kogoro Mao Li thought he needed to be careful, so he wouldn't actually be proven right by Xiao Lan.

If those flies around really pried away his corner, he would absolutely go crazy.

"Click!"

Just as Mao Li Lan was feeling triumphant, the sound of a door opening behind her made her instinctively turn around.

A little boy carrying a schoolbag, wearing a red bow tie and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, stood there.

This made the smile on Mao Li Lan's face vanish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dad, I'm going to the kitchen~~."

After Mao Li Lan left, Kogoro Mao Li looked helplessly at the stunned little brat at the doorway.

"Brat, this isn't your problem."

"It's your brother's problem."

He knew this little brat was truly unlucky; who else but him would look so much like his brother when they were young?

"It's only been a few days; Xiao Lan shouldn't be able to accept it easily."

"... I know, Uncle."

Chuankenan naturally knew Xiao Lan couldn't accept it all at once; otherwise, she wouldn't have moved out to live separately.

If he were truly just Chuankenan, he would feel very aggrieved.

But the problem is, he is also the hidden identity of Kudo Shinichi.

So, even if he is being targeted, it is not without reason at all.

In fact, the biggest reason Xiao Lan dislikes him is that he looks too much like his younger self.

After all, they are the same person's plaything; unless one undergoes plastic surgery, can the same person have a different face?

Facing this situation, Chuankenan could only hope Xiao Lan would soon walk out of that state.

"How is school life adapting?"

"It's still a bit unfamiliar."

Bringing his attention back.

Chuankenan was naturally not unfamiliar with elementary school life, but wanting him, a Gao Zhongsheng, to adapt to elementary school life was too difficult.

Especially among a bunch of childish elementary students, it really made him feel like he couldn't stay there.

"It's fine, it's fine."

"You just returned from abroad; of course you can't adapt."

"And your dad also said you experienced many things since childhood, saying you are much more mature than ordinary children."

Kogoro Mao Li did not really treat this little brat as a child.

This little brat was obviously much more mature.

Except for actively rushing forward when encountering certain matters, there were basically no major flaws.

The only flaw was exactly the same as that Kudo brat.

It cannot be denied that this little brat's eyes and mind are quite good.

Thanks to this little brat's help, he had also solved some cases these past few days.

However, Kogoro Mao Li also understood why Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko had left this child with him.

Just based on this little brat's state of rushing forward whenever something happens, he is simply the second Kudo brat.

This little brat needs to be properly trained; at least, don't let this little brat rush forward whenever something happens.

"Although I don't want to mention it in front of you deliberately, you kid need to pay attention."

"Your parents left you in my care; I don't hope for the same result as that Kudo kid."

"Understood?"

"I know, Uncle."

Edogawa Conan nodded slightly.

Needless to say, he hadn't listened.

Kogoro Mao Li didn't mind either; after all, a child's change cannot be accomplished in a short while.

In the future, I will take this child on more missions so that this brat understands that being a detective is a very dangerous job.

When facing danger, do not think about rushing forward immediately.

Life is only lived once.

"By the way, Uncle."

"Sister Ran, why did you come back today?"

With some curiosity, Edogawa Conan actually wanted to know quite a bit about things related to Ran.

"What else could I come for? To come back and give life advice."

So it was because Uncle came back.

Recalling Uncle's living state at home, Edogawa Conan could roughly understand why Ran had to come back.

Given Uncle's living state, if Ran didn't come back to check often, who knows if the house would have turned into a garbage nest.

"And also about Valentine's Day."

"It seems preparations are being made to give chocolates to someone."

(Li Hao's) Edogawa Conan instantly froze.
