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

Conan's vision was blurred by tears. He felt as if his heart was being torn apart by pain. Hearing the loud explosion in his ears, he could not stop and fell heavily to the ground.

“Lan——! Lan——!”

His voice was hoarse, like the cry of a cuckoo, and each roar was filled with suppressed pain and despair, as if it came from the depths of his soul.

Several children also burst into tears, and Yuanzi even sat down on the ground, sobbing.

Vermouth's face changed, her eyes widened, and her hands trembled slightly.

What's going on? Granburch clearly promised her...

how so!

Conan clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, feeling that he was suppressed and couldn't breathe. He stared blankly at the explosion over there, and the light in his eyes slowly disappeared: "Xiaolan... huh?"

Just as everyone on the field was filled with grief, a brilliant red light flew towards the dark sky and exploded in the air, forming a red English word.

The light faded, and Xiaolan fell onto the rescue cushion unharmed, her face also filled with confusion.

Conan was the first to react. He quickly got up from the ground and rushed to Xiaolan. He reached out his hand tremblingly and gently touched Xiaolan's hand. Only when he touched the entity did he let go of his tense heart: "That's great, that's great, Xiaolan, I'm so glad that you're okay!!"

Xiaolan gently wiped away Conan's tears: "Why are you crying like this? And, you have to call me sister Xiaolan~ Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Wow, Xiaolan, I'm so glad you're okay, wow, wow..." Sonoko rushed forward, pulled Conan out of Xiaolan's arms, hugged Xiaolan tightly, and cried loudly, "Do you know how scared and worried I am, wow, wow..."

Conan looked speechlessly at Yuanzi who was pulling him apart, and sat down on the air cushion next to him.

As much as he hated Granburch, he was now as confused as ever.

What on earth is Granburch trying to do by making such a big move?

Blowing up a building and tricking him into a loop, was it just for his own bad taste?

What kind of person is he?

Conan looked at Xiaolan who was surrounded by people, and did not move closer. He scanned the field, found the position of Vermouth, and slowly walked over.

Vermouth leaned against the wall exhausted, looking at the flickering flames in the sky and let out a long sigh. Granburch, that bastard, is he deliberately messing with people's mentality?

If she had a heart disease, she would have been seriously injured by him.

"Belmod."

Hearing Conan calling her, Vermouth moved her head and gave him an unpleasant look: "What?"

She gets angry when she sees Conan now. She made a deal with Granburch in advance. What if she is not there?

Conan said he had a way, but what was the result?

His idea was to let two people hang in the air like salted fish and then be blown to death?

This family will fall apart without her!

Conan clearly saw the hint of accusation and dissatisfaction in Vermouth's eyes. He scratched his head and felt a lingering fear himself.

"Do you know why Granburch made such a big fuss, but in the end it was just a firework?" Conan also imitated her and leaned against the wall, "Or did he have a backup plan?"

Vermouth rolled her eyes. "What back-up plan? I made a deal with him. But it's also possible that he didn't intend to kill Xiaolan from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have put only one firework in her bracelet - hiss, then isn't he trying to trick me? If I had known he didn't intend to kill me, I wouldn't have come to him so eagerly..."

Conan pondered Vermouth's words carefully. Although her tone was dissatisfied, it revealed a different kind of intimacy, as if the relationship between them was not as simple as that of a superior and a subordinate as they had shown before.

"Don't overthink it." Vermouth frowned as she looked at Conan. "Since I was the one who saved Xiaolan, you'd better not say anything when the police interrogate you later. If you investigate it yourself, I can still cover it for you. But it will be different if the police are involved. Granburr and Gin should have the same attitude towards the police. Once they know that you leaked the news, what happened today will most likely become a fact."

Conan clenched his hands. He was too passive now. He had no information at all and was exposed to the eyes of the organization members...

He now understands what Huiyuan Ai said before. He originally thought she was exaggerating, but this incident made him feel in advance what kind of things will happen to the people around him once his identity is exposed...

"I see..." He looked up at Vermouth, "Thank you."

Vermouth knew why Conan thanked her, it was nothing more than thanking her for saving Xiaolan. She leaned against the wall with a serious face: "Although I don't have much contact with him, if Maori Kogoro was here today, he would definitely give priority to saving his daughter. Can you say that he is not just because of this? Love and justice are not in conflict. Sometimes I hope you can be a little selfish. Because you were involved in the organization's affairs, you hid your identity from her and didn't let her know. I have no right to comment on this. But if she knew what you did today, she would definitely be very sad."

"But just now Kidd said that Xiaolan made this choice herself. I--" Conan said hesitantly, "I love her more than I love myself, but--"

“That’s different.” Vermouth sighed softly, looking at this godson who seemed to have half come to his senses, and gave him some special treatment, “Xiao Lan is willing to sacrifice herself to save others, that’s because she’s kind, but this cannot be said by you as her boyfriend. What do you regard her as, your own property? You let her live and die? You are worthy of everyone except her!!”

Seeing Conan staring at her in a daze, Vermouth's heart softened. She knew that Conan loved Xiaolan very much, and she also knew that if Conan was asked to choose between himself and Xiaolan, he would only choose his own death. But at the same time, Conan's sense of justice was too strong, so strong that sometimes he would unconsciously hurt the people closest to him.

"Do you know that if Xiaolan knew that Kudo Shinichi gave up himself to save others, she would not show anything on her face, but she would cry somewhere in secret... You are also her support..."

Her little girl is always as kind as an angel and doesn't want to cause trouble to others.

Vermouth stood up, turned around and waved at Conan: "I'm leaving first. Go give Xiaolan a call. Such a big thing happened. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she should really hope that you can care about it, right? Xiaolan didn't know about it this time, and I won't say much. If you put Xiaolan behind others next time, then I will consider whether to introduce Xiaolan to some high-quality resources."

Vermouth moved through the crowd and quickly squeezed out. She felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she just put it out of her mind. After all, it was not an important thing.

Conan looked at Vermouth who waved and left, and stood there for a long time without moving.

He was indeed wrong this time. He was too arrogant and thought he could find a way to settle everything. However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face and also woke him up.

He couldn't bear the pain of losing Xiaolan. At the moment the bomb exploded, his body felt as if it was torn apart. He couldn't imagine what life would be like after losing Xiaolan.

He placed his hand on his chest, feeling the slight vibration coming from his heart, and secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would definitely put Xiaolan's safety first...

After figuring it out, he quietly hid in the bathroom and took advantage of the chaos to call Xiaolan.

Xiaolan had just had her abrasions treated by the doctor and was sitting in the infirmary in the park. The moment she saw the phone, she could no longer hold back.

As soon as the call was connected, Conan heard Xiaolan's low sobbing from the other end: "Shinichi, do you know what I just went through... Why are you not here every time at this time? I'm so scared. You are obviously in Yokohama. It's such a big thing, why don't you come to find me... Are you still busy with the case, can you come to see me... I've been waiting for you to come, do you know..."

When it came to the last sentence, Xiaolan almost cried out. The grievances that she had been holding on to until now completely broke down in front of her lover.

Conan felt his heart break when he heard Xiaolan crying. He wished he could appear in front of Xiaolan immediately, hug her in his arms and comfort her not to cry.

But, he couldn't do it... He could only comfort Xiaolan through the phone, in this pale way...

It’s all that damn Granburch’s fault. If he hadn’t pretended to be me…!

Alas, Vermouth left too early. I should have let her pretend to be me to comfort Xiaolan. Although Kidd is here, he is a man after all, and this bastard has a criminal record. Finding him is like inviting a wolf into the house...

Hiss - I don't know if Huiyuan Ai has the antidote with her. She usually won't give it to her. If it doesn't work, he can just steal one...
