Lin Fan: “It's Ms. Ran.”
Lin Fan, carrying shopping bags, smiled and responded to Mouri Ran.
His tone was full of gentleness.
“Did Mr. Lin just get off work?” Mouri Ran walked to Lin Fan's side and asked with a smile.
“Ah.”
Lin Fan lifted the shopping bag in his hand and said to Mouri Ran: “I worked overtime at the hospital today and got back quite late. I just bought some things and planned to have a simple meal with my sister.”
“That must be tiring.” Mouri Ran said to Lin Fan: “Mr. Lin, if you work overtime and come back late in the future, you can come to our house. I usually come back around this time too, and I can make more meals for you and your sister.”
Recently, she had to attend tutoring classes and participate in the karate club.
So Mouri Ran had been coming back relatively late.
“That would be too much trouble.”
Lin Fan said to Mouri Ran: “Ms. Ran, you're already tired after coming back.”
Mouri Ran: “It’s fine, it's just making a couple extra portions. Besides, Mr. Lin has moved here for a while now, and we haven't properly gotten together yet.”
Speaking of which,
Mouri Ran clapped her hands and smiled at Lin Fan: “As you say in your country, Lin, don't put it off. How about today?”
“I just bought a lot of ingredients for home recently. Let's make Oden together today.”
Hearing Mouri Ran's words, Lin Fan was about to refuse.
But he saw Mouri Ran already running away, turning around and waving at Lin Fan while running: “That's settled then, I'll go back and prepare the ingredients now. Mr. Lin, you go back and bring your sister over, okay?”
In the dark alley, Mouri Ran's figure gradually disappeared.
But Lin Fan, through his Color Wheel Eye's observation, saw a touch of spring through the blowing breeze.
“White.”
Lin Fan smiled and turned towards his home.
...........................
Mouri Detective Agency.
In the living room of the Mouri home.
A large pot of steaming food was cooking, it looked very much like hotpot.
Mouri Kogoro sat in the main seat and said to Mouri Ran: “Why invite two strangers to dinner at home?”
“What are you talking about, Dad? Mr. Lin and his sister are neighbors who have been here for a long time, and when Dad helped investigate the person last time, Mr. Lin helped you too, didn't he?”
Placing the prepared tableware on the table, Mouri Ran then stood up, hands on her hips, and said to Mouri Kogoro: “Mr. Lin and his sister will be here soon, Dad, be nice to them.”
“Okay, okay, I got it.” Mouri Kogoro replied casually.
Just as these words fell, the doorbell rang.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
“Ah, Mr. Lin and his sister are here!”
Hearing the doorbell, Mouri Ran didn't bother arguing with Mouri Kogoro anymore, and ran directly towards the front door.
Click!
Upon opening the door, Mouri Ran saw Lin Fan and Kasugano Kyoko standing in front of her.
“Welcome, welcome.”
Seeing Lin Fan and Kasugano Kyoko, Mouri Ran welcomed them with a smile.
“Sorry we're late, I bought these on the way.” Lin Fan took the gift and smiled at Mouri Ran.
He had bought it with Kasugano Kyoko at the convenience store on his way here.
Mouri Ran: “Mr. Lin, you're too polite.”
Taking the gift from Lin Fan, Mouri Ran said helplessly.
Lin Fan: “It's only right. It's my first time visiting your home, even though Ms. Ran invited us, I still need to prepare a gift. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.”
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Mouri Ran stepped aside to invite them in.
Then she closed the door.
................................
“Dad, Mr. Lin and his sister are here.”
Coming into the living room, Mouri Ran said to Mouri Kogoro, who was reading the newspaper.
Mouri Kogoro: “Ah, welcome, welcome. You're too polite, young man. Just come in, you don't have to bring anything.”
Seeing Lin Fan and Kasugano Kyoko arrive, Mouri Kogoro also stood up politely and greeted Lin Fan and Kasugano Kyoko.
“It's only right, after all, it's my first visit.”
Lin Fan smiled: “Uncle Mouri, I'll need your help in the future.”
“There, there. I'll need your help too.”
After a round of pleasantries, everyone sat down and started eating.
It has to be said, Mouri Ran's cooking was really delicious, she was more talented than her mother.
“Little brother Lin, I heard you work in a hospital?”
After dinner, Mouri Ran cleaned up, and everyone gathered around the sofa to chat.
Lin Fan: “Yes, I work at St. Julian's Hospital, I'm currently an intern doctor.”
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Mouri Kogoro nodded slightly but didn't respond.
But Mouri Ran directly asked: “So what department are you in, Mr. Lin?”
“Obstetrics and Gynecology.”
“............”
In an instant, both Mouri Ran and Kasugano Kyoko's faces turned slightly red.
Obstetrics and gynecology doctors, wouldn't that mean they're around...
“Hey, what are you embarrassed about?”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Mouri Kogoro broke the ice: “In the eyes of doctors, you are just patients, there is no distinction between male and female. Whether it is Lin Fan, or other doctors, they won't have any strange thoughts when they are working.”
Mouri Kogoro's words made sense, but they didn't alleviate the awkwardness.
Mouri Ran looked at Lin Fan with a red face.
She didn't understand why such a gentle Lin Fan would choose this profession.
He could have chosen other medical specialties.
“Uncle Mouri is right, in our eyes as doctors, there is actually no difference in gender.”
Lin Fan looked at everyone and finished his sentence.
Then, the light screen of the Color Wheel Eye suddenly appeared in front of him.
【Release mission: Increase Mouri Ran's excitement level within five minutes, you can gain Devil Points!】
Increase Mouri Ran's excitement level?
Looking at the mission.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said to Kasugano Kyoko: “It's getting late, Kyoko, we should go back.”
“Mr. Lin, are you leaving?”
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Mouri Ran said: “It's still early, we can chat for a while.”
Mouri Kogoro: “Right, it's still early. Little brother Lin, let's chat for a while. My beer should be cold by now, we can have a drink.”
“No.”
“I have to go to work tomorrow morning. You two have your own things to do tomorrow, so I won't bother you anymore.”
Lin Fan smiled and declined, then got up and was about to leave with Kasugano Kyoko.
But just as Lin Fan was about to leave.
Lin Fan suddenly asked Kasugano Kyoko: “Kyoko, did you bring your keys?”
The question came out of nowhere, Kasugano Kyoko was stunned and then replied: “Didn't brother bring the keys? Kyoko doesn't have the habit of carrying keys.”
“Um.....”
Hearing Kasugano Kyoko's words, Lin Fan scratched his head: “I must have left them at home. It's so late, there probably won't be any locksmiths available. We might have to stay at a hotel tonight.”
“That......”
“Mr. Lin, you can stay here for the night. There is a spare room, Kyoko can sleep with me.”
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Mouri Ran stepped forward and said.
