Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 318 Deception
"Good evening, Aunt Fushae, is there anything I can help with?" After walking into the kitchen, Xiaolan greeted Fushae politely.

Since the other party moved into Dr. A Li's house, Xiao Lan often came with Conan, letting him study the new inventions with Dr. A Li, while she chatted with Fu Sae, so the relationship between the two became relatively familiar. .

Previously, Xiaolan thought about returning the umbrella that Fushae lent her ten years ago, but the other party politely refused with a smile and said that Xiaolan would treasure the umbrella as a souvenir of their first meeting.

At this moment, when Fushae saw Xiaolan coming in, she was not polite to her. She pointed to the freshly prepared fruit platter beside her with a smile and said, "You're here, Xiaolan. Just in time. Help me deliver this plate of fruit to the doctor." Let them, there will be another plate for you and Conan later."

"Thank you, auntie, I'll take it first." Xiaolan nodded with a smile, picked up the fruit plate, left the kitchen, and went down the stairs to the underground laboratory.

Seeing that the old man and the young man, who looked like a grandfather and grandson, were pointing and talking at a familiar-looking umbrella on the workbench, Xiaolan did not interrupt the discussion between the two, but put the fruit on the table. He went to the table nearby and moved closer out of curiosity.

After a while, she realized that the two were discussing about modifying the umbrella, and this umbrella was the one that Ishino had to break last week, but it has been repaired with the joint efforts of the family, but Naia still wanted to Please ask Dr. A Li to help make some functional modifications.

"Doctor, the ribs of this umbrella are not very strong. Dad accidentally broke them when he applied too much force before. Can you strengthen them?"

"This umbrella is also easy to break, so it's best to replace it with a thin and strong material."

"It would be great if it could be transformed into an automatic umbrella that can be opened and closed with a switch, so that I won't be unable to open the umbrella because my hands are not long enough."

"By the way, it's best to add a positioning function to it, so that even if it is accidentally lost, it can be easily found!"

"And..."

Faced with Naia who listed a lot of requirements in one breath, Dr. Ali not only did not find it troublesome, but instead recorded these ideas and explained to him with a smile which of these ideas were feasible, which were difficult to achieve, and which were impossible. Can be optimized and adjusted.

As for Naia, who is far smarter than his peers, Dr. Ali felt that this little boy was extremely talented and a creative talent from the first moment he saw him, so he could be said to be extremely fond of him.

And Naia also admires Dr. Ali very much, a talented scientist with outstanding achievements in many fields such as physics, chemistry, machinery, bionics, and computers, so she goes to Dr. Ali's house every now and then to watch him do various things. Weird science experiments.

Because Naia showed great interest and talent in scientific knowledge, Dr. Ali became more and more satisfied with it, and gradually developed the idea of ​​​​nurturing Naia as his successor, so the exchanges between the two became more and more frequent. , the relationship is as good as that of biological grandfather and grandson.

On the other hand, Fu Sae also likes this smart, cute and polite child. In addition, she knows that even if she officially marries Dr. Agasa soon, it is unlikely that she will have a child at their age. Naturally, they followed each other and treated Na Adam as his grandson.

It just so happened that the kindergarten where Naia was located was near Dr. Agasa's house, and the daily school dismissal time was earlier than that of Tedan Elementary School. Therefore, after the two families made a plan, they made an appointment for Fu Sae to go to the kindergarten to pick up Naia every afternoon. Take him to Dr. Agasa's house and wait for Xiao Ai and Xiaosaki to come over and pick him up after school.

The two continued to discuss like this for 5 minutes before finally stopping. At this time, Xiaolan picked up the fruit plate and walked to the experimental table and said with a smile: "Dr. Ali, Naiya, you should take a break after discussing for so long. Order some fruit.”

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan." Naia thanked her with a smile, then took a piece of honeydew melon from the fruit plate and put it into her mouth happily.Dr. Ali on the side saw it was Xiaolan and took the fruit plate with a smile and said: "Oh, it's Xiaolan. Thank you for bringing the fruit to us. Have you finished using the bathroom?"

"Not yet. Conan is going to wash first. I'll wait for him to finish washing before washing." Xiaolan replied with a smile, then glanced at the time on the watch and said: "I think he should have finished washing soon, then I will I won’t bother you anymore.”

After bidding farewell to the two people in the laboratory, Xiaolan returned to the living room. Seeing that Conan had put on clean clothes and was sitting on the sofa, watching TV and discussing weekend camping with Xiaoai, she said hello to the two of them. Bathroom for showering.

Seeing Xiaolan walk into the bathroom and lock the door, Conan approached Xiaoai and whispered, "Hey, Huiyuan, did Xiaolan do anything strange when I went to take a shower just now?"

"Strange behavior? What exactly are you referring to, suspicious." Xiao Ai deliberately pretended not to understand and teased, "Could it be that you two had a quarrel?"

"No, I just think there's something wrong with Xiaolan these days." Conan couldn't help but roll up his half-moon eyes and explained, "Recently, I often feel that Xiaolan's eyes and attitude when she looks at me don't seem to be there at all. Look at a primary school student and always ask me some weird questions."

"Do you think so... Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking it. After all, it's hard to understand girls' thoughts." At this point, Conan laughed and laughed at himself.

"It's useless to deceive yourself. I think Xiaolan must have doubts about your identity." Xiao Ai glared at the other party angrily and said, "She also asked me if I thought you were there just now when you were away. What’s so strange?”

"Wha, what?!" Conan immediately lost his composure upon hearing this and asked nervously, "Then how did you answer?"

"Don't worry, I just used myself as an example to say that you are just a bratty boy who likes to show off his reasoning ability in front of his friends." Seeing the other party's appearance, Xiao Ai replied with a bad smile, "After all, in my opinion Come on, you stupid goose is not as smart as our little Naiya, so such a comment is already very flattering to you."

"Thank you so much!" Faced with Xiao Ai's comment, Conan couldn't help but roll up his eyes and express his gratitude with a smile. Then he said with some doubts, "But why didn't Xiao Lan come and ask me directly? , given her character, she shouldn’t keep this kind of problem in her heart, right?”

"Humph, you guys are really stubborn." Hearing Conan's question, Xiao Ai waved her hands wordlessly and said, "Do you think Xiaolan today is still the same person who lived under your protection before? A little girl?”

"Even if she really notices something, or even confirms your identity, she will still consider that you may have something unspeakable to hide from her. For this reason, she is even willing to wait until you can confess to her. There’s no telling the day when everything will happen.”

"No, it can't be. Could it be that Xiaolan has really guessed it?" Conan confirmed again in disbelief.

"Don't underestimate a woman's intuition." Xiao Ai looked at Conan's confused eyes and said seriously, "It's almost time for you to make a decision. You can't keep her waiting, right?"

Having said this, Xiao Ai turned to the direction of the TV and sighed: "Hey... a good girl like Xiao Lan would actually like you, an idiot like you. It's like a flower stuck in cow dung." , What a pity, what a pity..."
