Chapter 399

So weak that even getting angry is so cute~ Right, Conan?

Chapter 399 So weak that even getting angry is so cute~ Right, Conan?

"Snapped!"

Chikako Ikeda, with her short hair, suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock and anger as she glared at the people opposite her.

She seemed very angry, but it was more like she was embarrassed and furious that some secret of hers had been exposed.

"Can you please stop bringing up Atsuko! It's all in the past, why do you keep bringing her up!"

Sonoko's older sister was sitting next to the short-haired girl. Seeing her sudden outburst, Ayako Suzuki was also startled. Hearing what she said, she was even more stunned: "Chikako—"

Ayako Suzuki seemed not to understand why Chikako Ikeda was so sensitive, but Wang Changsheng noticed something.

Although the older sister in this garden isn't as pretty as the people on Sakura's side, she comes from a prominent family and is the eldest daughter, so her overall demeanor is undeniably elegant.

What Wang Changsheng noticed was that although Suzuki Ayako's appearance wasn't exceptionally beautiful, it was still quite good.

But for some reason, the other person always squinted.

Just now, she was startled by Chikako Ikeda, and her eyes widened slightly.

But now he's squinting again.

"I've never seen a simple-minded person with squinty eyes. Even that conman Yamazaki is incredibly clever." Wang Changsheng pursed his lips, sat quietly in his seat, listened to the lively conversation, and casually invited Tomoyo to eat.

Conan was impressed to see that he could still eat in such a tense situation.

Can't you see they're about to start arguing?

He pursed his lips and refocused his attention on the group of people.

Conan always felt that there was some deeper secret brewing behind what these people were saying.

After Chikako Ikeda unleashed her fury, the other members of the film club looked at her, and their expressions weren't good either.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Chikako Ikeda finally seemed to realize what was happening. She forcibly suppressed her emotions, exhaled a heavy breath, and then slowly sat down in her seat.

"I'm sorry, I got a little emotional, but I turned down a lot of things to come here to meet with you all and relax, not to listen to you talk about someone who passed away two years ago."

Chikako Ikeda had by then calmed down.

In fact, ever since that incident, she has been deliberately avoiding recalling the past and has done a lot of things to temper her mind.

But now, hearing my old friends bring it up again, I suddenly can't control myself.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I won't mention her again." Ayako Suzuki also parted her lips slightly and apologized softly to Chikako Ikeda.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the long-haired man sitting opposite Ikeda chuckled.

"What do you have to apologize for?" The long-haired man glanced at Chikako Ikeda indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of mockery. "It's true that people become different when they become famous; even their tone of voice changes."

"What did you say!" Chikako Ikeda suddenly raised her head, her eyes devoid of any gentleness, and coldly stared at the long-haired man.

The long-haired man seemed completely oblivious to her gaze, still nonchalantly resting his chin on his hand with a faint smile on his lips.

His attitude made Chikako Ikeda's expression even colder.

Seeing the atmosphere freeze again, Ayako Suzuki quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over for the two of them: "Oh, you two, stop talking and eat something. Is this enough? Why don't you eat first, or rest for a bit, and I'll make something else."

"How can I possibly eat?" Chikako Ikeda snorted and leaned back in her chair.

"Since we have a few more friends here, Ayako, why don't you go and make some more food?" Little Fatty suddenly said.

Ayako Suzuki glanced at the six dishes on the table, blinked, and then nodded gently. "Then—then I'll make some more."

"Thank you for your help." The chubby boy smiled憨厚ly and then said, "Isn't the roof outside broken? I'll go and fix it while I'm at it. It's not good to leave it unattended. What if it rains?"

He turned to look out the window.

The once clear sky now seemed gloomy.

"Huh? You're going to fix it, Takahashi? Smith, these things are things I should have found someone to do." Ayako Suzuki paused in her steps toward the kitchen, turned back to look at the chubby boy, and smiled apologetically with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, it's just fixing something, it's no big deal." The chubby boy waved his hand and stood up cheerfully.

"Then please be very careful and pay attention to safety," Ayako Suzuki said.

"Yes, I will. Don't you know my skill level? Just relax." Little Fatty turned and left the table.

"Tsk tsk~ Only Takahashi could do repair work so well, since he's in charge of props."

The man with the square face put the oversized camera he was holding back on the table and looked at everyone with a grin: "Since they're still busy, shall we grab something to eat first, or play some cards?"

"I agree to play cards!" Sonoko was the first to jump in. "My sister cooks very quickly, so why don't we wait until everyone's here before we start eating? Otherwise, it would be too impolite, don't you think, Ran?"

"Uh, I mean, it's all fine, it depends on what everyone says." Xiaolan blinked blankly.

"I'll go find where the playing cards are." The square-faced man was about to get up, but the short-haired girl stood up before him and turned to walk towards the door.

"Let's go for a walk." Chikako Ikeda crossed her arms, her tone slightly displeased.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you too." Seeing the short-haired girl about to leave, the square-faced man quickly followed her.

For a moment, only the long-haired man and Wang Changsheng and a few others remained at the dining table.

"Conan dares to run around alone here, sigh~ Does he even know the true meaning of 'If you go alone, you'll surely be found dead'?" Wang Changsheng sighed inwardly.

"Tomoyo, are you hungry?" He turned his head and asked Tomoyo, who was sitting next to him.

"I'm not too hungry." Tomoyo shook her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Wang Changsheng. "Are you hungry, Changsheng?"

"How about we go for a walk and then come back?"

Wang Changsheng understood the meaning conveyed in her dark purple eyes.

Zhi Shi was suggesting that if Wang Changsheng got hungry, they should go for a walk and find a secluded place, since there was nothing to eat in Wang Changsheng's space.

You can eat something to fill your stomach before coming back.

However, Wang Changsheng's lips twitched slightly, and then he slowly shook his head: "I'm not hungry. If I were hungry, it wouldn't be a problem to eat a little bit of the food on the table."

He meant that they were just kids, and it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't wait for everyone to be there before starting to eat.

Ran was sitting at the table, intending to talk to Sonoko, but her attention was entirely focused on the long-haired man.

Now that everyone was gone, the long-haired man stood up and walked towards the living room.

Sonoko quickly tugged at Ran's hand: "We haven't started eating yet, let's get up and move around a bit, it's not good to just sit there all the time."

Xiaolan: "Uh—"

She felt the strong force coming from her wrist, and her eyelids twitched.

"Um, Sonoko, we've only been sitting here for a short while, haven't we?"

Hearing her best friend say this, Sonoko glared at Ran with a look of disappointment. She realized that she couldn't budge Ran no matter how hard she tried, so she could only stomp her feet helplessly and lower her voice.

"Hey! Xiaolan~ Didn't you see the handsome guy has already gone to the living room? We need to hurry and catch up!"

"————" Xiaolan looked helpless. "Why should I follow you?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we should chat with the handsome guy more! Didn't you see they seemed to have a fight just now? The handsome guy must be feeling really down right now. Shouldn't we take advantage of this and say some nice things to him? Maybe that'll work! Xiaolan, you're so silly!"

Sonoko's expression carried a hint of disdain, as if to say, "Are you really my best friend? Don't ever say I know you when we go out again."

Conan, standing next to Ran, was so angry that he almost ground his back teeth to powder when he saw this crazy woman trying to drag his girlfriend away to find a handsome guy.

"Pfft~"

Wang Changsheng, sitting next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Conan was just wondering who to talk to when Wang Changsheng suddenly smiled, which immediately drew his attention.

"What are you laughing at?" Conan glanced up and glared at Wang Changsheng with dead fish eyes.

Seeing the guy's fierce and menacing appearance, which was made extremely comical by his petite figure, Wang Changsheng laughed even harder.

He teased with a laugh, "Little Conan, do you know something? When you're weak enough, even your anger seems cute to others~"

"(σ·a·)σ Nani?!" Conan thought Wang Changsheng was going to say something, but instead he just blurted out this nonsense.

My teeth itched even more from anger.

"As expected, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth."

[Message]: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +10000

Seeing yet another negative points earned, Wang Changsheng couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Conan.

He waved his hand, signaling the guy to go to the side, and then turned his gaze to Sonoko, who was struggling with Ran.

"Um, Sonoko-neechan, have you been feeling unwell lately? Have you been experiencing night sweats?"

"Huh?"

When Yuanzi, who was trying to pull Xiaolan away to see the handsome guy, heard Wang Changsheng's words, she froze on the spot.

It was precisely because of her sudden daze that Xiaolan, without noticing, pulled her back.

While Sonoko was in a daze, she didn't exert any force. Although Ran didn't use her full strength, she was a Taekwondo practitioner and was quite strong. She pulled Sonoko so hard that she almost fell over.

Fortunately, Ran reacted quickly, adjusted her posture, and pulled Sonoko into her arms.

However, she didn't care about any of that. She simply scrambled to her feet and looked at Wang Changsheng: "Little boy, how did you know that?"

"I can tell." Wang Changsheng immediately understood when he saw her reaction.

"You can tell that?" Sonoko was very surprised and didn't quite believe what Wang Changsheng said.

"Of course." However, Wang Changsheng looked certain and confident. "As the saying goes, 'observation, listening, questioning, and palpation,' it's perfectly normal for me to be able to tell that you haven't been feeling well lately."

"You're quite impressive, kid!" Sonoko exclaimed, intrigued.

She stopped dragging Xiaolan to chase after the handsome guy and sat back down in her seat, intending to listen to what Wang Changsheng had to say.

Even Tomoyo, Conan, and Ran were extremely curious about Wang Changsheng's statement.

"Since you can perform the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, can you tell me what's wrong with me?" Sonoko opened her clear, innocent eyes and looked at Wang Changsheng, waiting for him to diagnose her.

She hasn't been feeling well these past few days; her hands and feet are a bit cold, and she sometimes sweats a lot when she sleeps at night.

She was already preparing to see a doctor.

However, I never expected to hear such an unusual thing from a primary school student.

"Chang Sheng, do you know traditional Chinese medicine?" Zhi Shi, who was standing next to Wang Chang Sheng, looked at him with curiosity.

"I know a little bit." Wang Changsheng smiled slightly.

He looked at Sonoko and then said, "As the saying goes, a weak body is prone to romantic relationships. Sonoko-neechan, I see that you seem to be very interested in things like dating. But you should know that being too engrossed in love can lead to kidney deficiency."

Sonoko: "(((o(*°°*)o)?"

She blinked, somewhat disbelieving what Wang Changsheng was saying.

"You're saying I have kidney deficiency? Or is it because I'm too eager to be in a relationship? Little brother, do you have some other meaning behind this?"

""

Wang Changsheng nodded, then shook his head: "No, that's exactly what I meant."

Sonoko: "————"

She took a deep breath and was about to speak when Wang Changsheng interrupted her.

"Excessive self-sacrifice and a love of self-pity are mutually detrimental."

"Those who are prone to daydreaming and feel that all the mistakes are their own are easily restless and suffer from deficiency of qi and blood."

"If you know that the other person has hurt you, but you still can't get over it, it means that your liver is not functioning properly."

In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys govern willpower, the liver governs the soul, and the lungs govern the vital essence.

"If you are often absent-minded and easily lose yourself, you shouldn't be too eager to find love, but rather focus on maintaining your health."

"As the saying goes, the essence of health preservation is investing in yourself. Only by taking good care of yourself and your body can you naturally attract more people to like you."

"This proves that in relationships, only those who love themselves can be saved."

Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Sister Yuanzi, do you understand now?"
