"I'm such an idiot!"
"Shinichi clearly doesn't care about this relationship!"
"It's just me, willingly falling into this situation!"
"… … … …"
Ran stormed out of the amusement park entrance, constantly berating herself!
It turned out that from beginning to end, she was the only one foolishly immersed in the drama, even feeling sad about it, while Shinichi completely disregarded it, casually dismissing her. What's even more outrageous is that he told her to go back by herself?!?!!
Hearing that last sentence, Ran almost exploded with anger.
She felt like a fool. For so many years, she had been worrying herself sick over such a scumbag!
There probably isn't anyone in this world more foolish than her!
Thinking about how she cried last night because of this, Ran became even angrier.
The more she cried last night, the angrier she is now.
She now wishes she could go back to the amusement park, catch him, and beat him up, using all the karate she has learned over the years on him!
Not far from Tropical Land, Lin Yi was waiting in position.
From the vision relayed by the crystal pendant, Xiaolan should be almost at the entrance.
Lin Yi quickly shifted his attention back to reality. He carefully searched for Xiaolan at the exit and soon found her.
"The person is out… the plan can begin."
Lin Yi took a deep breath and then drove the delivery scooter towards Xiaolan.
He approached Xiaolan while calculating the distance between them.
Huh?
Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed something was wrong.
Why did Xiaolan's expression look angry instead of sad?
This made Lin Yi frown. If her emotions were off, he might not be able to push her, and he would have to max out her favorability.
There's no other way, he'll just have to play it by ear.
"Xiaolan?"
When the distance between the two people closed, Lin Yi called out in surprise.
"Hmm?"
Hearing someone call her name, Xiaolan subconsciously turned her head and saw a man on a delivery scooter slowly stopping in front of her. The other person was wearing a hat and a mask, and Xiaolan couldn't recognize him, but she had a feeling of familiarity.
"It's me…"
Lin Yi took off his mask, revealing his handsome face.
"Ah… Lin Yi."
Xiaolan looked at the other person in surprise. She didn't expect to meet him here, it was really unexpected.
"Just happened to be passing by… Why are you out here alone?"
Lin Yi asked knowingly, "And… you seem quite angry."
"It's all Shinichi…"
Xiaolan pouted and said unhappily, "Forget it… I don't want to mention him, I get angry when I do!"
"I see…" Lin Yi suggested, "Then… how about we find a place to have a good chat?"
Xiaolan really wanted to find someone to talk to and vent all her grievances.
However, she noticed that Lin Yi was wearing a delivery uniform and driving a delivery scooter, and couldn't help but say, "But aren't you at work right now?"
"Ah… it's okay. I just finished the last delivery and can rest for a while."
Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled, indicating that it was no problem: "Get on the scooter."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Xiaolan didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the scooter with a ladylike posture.
Lin Yi drove the scooter, carrying Xiaolan to the nearest coffee shop.

"Shinichi just left me alone and went to investigate!"
Xiaolan told Lin Yi everything that had just happened, and she felt very angry: "In his heart, investigating murder cases is always the top priority!"
Lin Yi immediately entered the 'nice guy' state, saying good things for Shinichi: "Maybe… Kudo-kun just thinks that if he solves the case sooner, then he can continue to play with you sooner."
"That's not it!"
Xiaolan's emotions gradually fell, and she began to change: "It would be great if it were like you said… After the murder case ended, I told Shinichi not to ask me out to play in the future. It's better for everyone to just be friends forever… and then… then…"
As Xiaolan spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, her eyes were slightly red, and tears were swirling in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately took some tissues and handed them to Xiaolan, asking curiously, "And then?"
Xiaolan took the tissue and thanked him, wiped away her tears, and after calming down, she continued, "Then Shinichi just lightly said 'Oh, I see'… and then told me to go back by myself."
After saying that, Xiaolan sobbed uncontrollably.
Lin Yi was petrified on the spot.
No way? Shinichi Kudo would actually react like that? That shouldn't be.
Lin Yi's brain froze for a moment, and then he connected it to the second half of his sentence, telling Xiaolan to go back first.
His IQ back online, Lin Yi recalled it, and he understood why Shinichi said that.
Most likely his attention was drawn away by Vodka at that time, and he didn't hear what Xiaolan was saying, so he perfunctorily replied and hurriedly chased after him.
Tsk tsk tsk, Kudo, Kudo, even the heavens can't stand it anymore, you can't blame me for this.
After understanding the whole story, Lin Yi's thoughts immediately stirred.
Just then, Lin Yi's phone screen lit up again.
Lin Yi continued to ignore it, but Xiaolan couldn't ignore it.
She sobbed and said, "Lin Yi… your phone has been ringing several times, you should answer it… I'm okay."
"Then… well… okay."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone and putting it to his ear.
However, Lin Yi "accidentally" pressed the speakerphone button.
Only to hear a rough voice from the phone: "Lin Yi!!! Where the hell did you go! Why didn't you answer your phone for so long? I just asked you to deliver a meal, how did you disappear while delivering it!!"
Lin Yi "was startled" and quickly switched the phone to earpiece mode. He covered the phone with his hand, leaned to the side, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Manager… I just had a car accident, and there were some disagreements when negotiating with the car owner… I didn't pay attention to the phone just now, sorry."
