Crap, Sonoko saw it... …Could she have figured something out?
Ran's heart pounded, and she hurriedly covered it up, saying, "Shinichi didn't call me to tell me what's going on... …I'll go to his place after school to check on him... …Sonoko, do you want to go with me?"
Sonoko didn't really want to go. She wanted to perform a love sonata at Lin Yi's house.
But she definitely couldn't say that directly, it would be shameless ~ ~ ~
So, Sonoko had to refuse in a roundabout way.
She asked, "What time are you planning to go?"
"Um... …School ends at three thirty, and I also have club activities... …Probably around five thirty."
Ran thought about her schedule and gave an answer.
"Five thirty... …I don't have club activities this afternoon."
Sonoko said helplessly, "The time doesn't match... I won't go."
"Okay okay."
Ran nodded. She also knew that asking Sonoko to wait for her for two hours was too much, so naturally she wouldn't force her.
The strange atmosphere was broken by Lin Yi's topic, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
Sonoko couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Ran. What did that idiot Shinichi run off to do again?"
Ran put the matter of making a public announcement aside and began to enter the mode of complaining about Shinichi.
"It's a long story... …"
Next, Ran told Sonoko in detail what happened to her at the roller coaster.
After listening, Sonoko slammed the table angrily, and criticized Shinichi unhappily for being a fool.
"He doesn't even have a head, only his thick nerves wouldn't be afraid! Instead of comforting you, he's thinking about solving the case! What is he thinking? !"
"You shouldn't pay attention to this kind of idiot in the future, Ran. He's always thinking about Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes. Is Sherlock Holmes better looking than you?"
"I'm telling you, Ran, don't even go see him this afternoon. This kind of person isn't worth your concern!"
Ran persuaded and coaxed her, and finally calmed Sonoko's anger.
Then Ran secretly glanced at Lin Yi to see what his reaction was to her going to Shinichi's house to visit Shinichi.
Lin Yi didn't give any reaction, just silently ate his meal.
In Ran's opinion, this was a reaction—Lin Yi was very unhappy.
That's right, if it were Lin Yi going to a girl's house to visit her, she wouldn't stop him, but she would definitely be unhappy.
After putting herself in Sonoko's shoes, Ran followed up on Sonoko's words and said, "Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go... I'll send him a text to ask, is that okay?"
Sonoko nodded in satisfaction, then said, "But speaking of which... I didn't expect Miss Hitomi to look so delicate, yet she would do such a terrifying thing, actually thinking of using such a method to cut off someone's head... It's scary just thinking about it."
"Yeah... But Mr. Kishida was also at fault. If he could have a good talk with Miss Hitomi, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened," Ran habitually thought about the problem from a positive perspective.
"That's right, Miss Hitomi must love Mr. Kishida very deeply, otherwise she wouldn't have done this... If my boyfriend suddenly dumps me in the future, I might do this kind of thing out of sadness."
Saying this, Sonoko glanced meaningfully at Lin Yi, who was eating.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lin Yi quickly grabbed some water and took a sip. He forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I ate too fast."
Ran continued Sonoko's words, saying, "Sonoko... you probably wouldn't do such a terrifying thing, right?"
"Although I wouldn't do such a terrifying thing... I definitely wouldn't let him off easy," Sonoko snorted and said, "I hate men who play with my feelings the most!"
After a pause, Sonoko asked, "What about you, Ran? If your boyfriend suddenly dumps you... what would you do?"
"This... I haven't thought about it," Ran shook her head.
"I've already thought it out for you... If anyone dares to dump you, you use your karate to break both of his legs!" Sonoko gestured fiercely in the air.
"..."
"And then give him a kick in the crotch! Let him know the consequences of abandoning you!"
Sonoko said ferociously, "As for medical expenses and compensation fees, Ran, you don't have to worry about them! I'll pay for you! I won't let anyone who makes Ran sad and cry off so easily!"
Lin Yi stopped eating. He was thinking that his previous plan was a bit too lax, and the time he had left didn't seem to be as much as he had imagined.
"D-don't... don't, right?" Ran was also frightened by Sonoko's cruel idea: "I... I can't do that kind of thing."
"It's okay!"
Sonoko put her arm around Ran's shoulder and smiled: "If you can't do it, I can!!"
As expected... I don't have much time left!
From today onwards, I'll start disciplining them properly!
