I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Seeing that Vermouth misunderstood him, Chu Ming directly called Vermouth and started crying as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Sister, what do you think of me? I'm just happy that you have a new little fan, so I'm sharing the happiness with you."

"..." Belmode was choked by Chu Ming. What kind of person did she think he was? What kind of person could she think of Granburch? Wasn't it that Granburch wanted to kill this or that at the beginning, and didn't he have some strange good person filter for her?

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me straight. Did you figure out something?" Vermouth rubbed her forehead with a headache. She suspected that Chu Ming already knew that she had a special feeling for Xiaolan, so he had been mentioning Xiaolan in front of her intentionally or unintentionally recently, trying to find her flaws.

Hearing Vermouth's tone, Chu Ming knew that she had misunderstood, but he didn't want to clarify. Instead, he took the opportunity to bring up the matter.

"I heard from Xiaolan that she and Kudo Shinichi saved the Highwayman who was about to fall from an unfinished building in the United States. Sister, I remember hearing from Vodka that you disguised yourself as the Highwayman as bait to ambush and capture Akai Shuichi? So the person they saved was you? And it was because of this life-saving grace that you have been protecting Xiaolan intentionally or unintentionally, right?"

Vermouth didn't say anything, so Chu Ming continued, "But I don't quite understand. If you say you're defending Xiaolan, I can understand that, but I feel like you seem to like the child next to her... Why?"

Vermouth's hand unconsciously twisted the cigarette on the table: "What do you want to say? Just say it."

Chu Ming's voice suddenly became serious: "So, sister actually likes children? Is it because you are too lonely? Then do you want me to find a child for you to raise? How old does sister want? Is a first grader okay?"

Vermouth was shocked by Chu Ming's train of thought, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do I need a child?"

"So - Sister doesn't actually like children, but simply likes Conan? Why? It was Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi who saved you, could it be -"

Vermouth's heart skipped a beat. Was Granburch trying to trick her?

She quickly interrupted Chu Ming's words: "Sweetheart, that girl saved my life. Without harming the interests of the organization, can you help me protect her a little? How about considering it as my sister owes you a favor?"

Chu Ming laughed softly on the other end of the phone: "Since sister said so, of course it's okay. But sister, you have to tell me honestly, why do you look at that boy differently?"

Vermouth pondered for a long while, and finally said with a smile: "Sweetheart, sister invites you to have a midnight snack, I wonder if you are willing to do me the honor?"

Chu Ming readily agreed. As it was getting late, he did not disguise himself and drove directly to the cafe that Vermouth mentioned.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Vermouth sitting inside, who seemed to have been waiting for him. Vermouth leaned against the table and waved at him in a charming manner.

"Sister, you come out like this without putting on makeup or disguising yourself. What if the paparazzi catch the famous movie star Chris Wynyard having a late-night meeting with a young hunk? It doesn't seem very appropriate." Chu Ming walked up to her and teased her.

Vermouth rested her chin on the table, smiling as always, and winked at Chu Ming: "Why, sweetheart, don't you want to be in the newspaper with me?"

"I'd rather hear gossip than be in the newspaper. Besides, I haven't found a girlfriend yet. What if my future girlfriend misunderstands me?" Chu Ming was unmoved.

"Really? Sweetheart has become less cute because of that cold-hearted Gin." Vermouth sighed softly, pretending to be sad.

Chu Ming gently took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter, pondered for a moment, and asked a soul-searching question: "Sister, are you resentful that Gin killed your savior?"

Vermouth was stunned for a moment, then smiled charmingly: "Sweetheart, you think too much, I——"

Chu Ming lowered his head and stroked the wall of the cup. In fact, he was quietly brewing for a while. His whole temperament suddenly became dark and gloomy. He interrupted her directly: "Sister, if you betray the organization, I will kill you with my own hands."

The voice was very light, but it hit Vermouth's heart hard. She curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, sweetheart. I have been in the organization for decades longer than you, so I don't need you to remind me. I'm not afraid of you knowing that I do have some special feelings for Xiaolan, and she is a simple girl and can't hinder the organization. If sweetheart is willing to help me protect Xiaolan, then on your birthday in a few days, I will give you an unforgettable gift, how about that?"

"A gift of equal value to what I spent?" Chu Ming raised his eyebrows. "Then Sister will probably have to bleed a lot of money. I am very worthwhile. But let me be frank. Normally, there is no problem with protecting her. Anyway, I have to maintain my positive image in front of detectives and police officers. But if she hinders the organization, no matter who she is, I will not give her face."

Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could say anything, Chu Ming continued to ask, "Now, sister, can you tell me what's so special about that boy?"

Vermouth's mind raced. In fact, she hadn't thought of an excuse yet. She had asked Chu Ming to come out in order to disrupt his thoughts and stop him from thinking about this. However, Chu Ming still couldn't forget about it.

"Actually... this is what happened. Kudo Shinichi saved me back then, and when I returned this time I wanted to repay him, but I didn't expect that he had been killed by Gin, so I can only repay Xiaolan alone. And Conan, you also think he looks a lot like Kudo Shinichi, right? I think so too, so since Kudo Shinichi is dead, it's okay for me to transfer my feelings to him."

? ? ? ? ?

Chu Ming listened to the excuse that Vermouth made up in a hurry. He felt like swearing was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say it. He always felt that Vermouth was treating him like a fool.

"You find it unbelievable, right? You think I'm lying to you, but the truth is this. If I really want to lie to you, wouldn't I come up with a more suitable reason to coax you? Even if the truth is outrageous, I don't want to lie to you." Vermouth's delicate and charming eyebrows drooped slightly, and thousands of worries gathered in her brows.

“…” But you are just lying to me!!! Do you think I read my script in vain?

Chu Ming shouted in his heart, but his face showed no sign of it.

Damn it, this is too much, they actually made up such a weird excuse to brush him off!!
