Chapitre 56: Chapter 56
Before entering the office on the second floor, Ran carefully fixed her clothes and calmed her expression, ensuring that her father, Kogoro Mouri, wouldn't discover her. Then she opened the door and stepped inside.
"Dad, I'm back!"
"Oh… you're back."
Kogoro Mouri, drunk, was holding a can of beer. After taking a sip, he continued watching television: "How was your date today?"
"Well, it was fine… Dad, put your feet up."
As she spoke, Ran began to tidy up Kogoro Mouri's messy desk, as usual.
"Fine?"
Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran and said, "I'd say you seem very happy today… something good must have happened, right?"
Ran hesitated for a moment, unable to hide her inner joy, and asked, "How do you know?"
Kogoro, taking several swigs, exclaimed, "If you weren't happy… after drinking so much and with the desk so messy, you'd definitely be angry."
Ran smiled broadly: "That's true."
After cleaning up the desk, she said, "I'm going to take a shower… rest early, okay?"
"Uh-huh," he replied disinterestedly. After watching Ran walk away, he touched his chin and murmured: "This girl isn't very happy today… she didn't even advise me to drink less."
Then, he looked at the clock and murmured, "She came back almost at eleven… at this hour… eh, could it be that boy was doing something with Ran, right?"
Thinking this, Kogoro let out a burp.
"Well… forget it, let it be, the young people's matters are their own."
Kogoro had no intention of getting involved in Ran's romance. Although he didn't like Shinichi Kudo, he had no objections as long as he treated her well; he had no requirements for anything more.
The next day, noon at school.
After finishing the morning classes, Lin Yi closed his textbook. With his eyes closed, he could clearly remember the content of the book he had reviewed half an hour earlier, as if the images were etched in his mind.
"Like photos embedded deep in his memory."
"The effect of absolute memory really isn't a myth…"
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel excited. He had eaten three slices of memory bread and entered thirty minutes of absolute memory. He could remember anything just by thinking about it.
He had acquired the memory bread a while ago but hadn't used it because he was organizing all the related English books.
After organizing the English information well, one should eat memory bread to input all the important information into his head at once. This really improves efficiency.
However, what is remembered is still just a memory; in the case of languages, it is necessary to study them frequently.
While Lin Yi was organizing all the information in English in his mind, Ran and Sonoko naturally sat in front of him and beside him.
"Here you go, a bento I prepared for you."
"Here you go, don't say later that it tastes bad. Okay?"
The two simultaneously pulled out a bento and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
Their movements were very clear, as if they had rehearsed. This made both of them pause for a moment and glance at each other unconsciously.
Then, they both began to laugh nervously.
"Ah… Ran, did you also prepare a bento for Lin Yi?"
"Yes… I didn't expect you, Sonoko, to do it too."
"Right? We really have a mutual understanding."
"Yes."
"Yeah."
"...."
Lin Yi looked at both of them and silently accepted the bentos without saying a word.
What mutual understanding? Weren't you the ones who proposed to make me lovingly prepared lunches?
The night before, after returning home, Lin Yi had started exchanging text messages and flirting. While chatting, Ran, to showcase her skills as a girlfriend, suggested preparing a bento with love for Lin Yi.
Sonoko, who hadn't seen Lin Yi all day on Sunday, naturally missed him a lot. Unable to see him, she could only express her feelings of longing through text messages.
So, she also proposed bringing a bento to Lin Yi the next day.
Lin Yi, of course, was not going to reject them.
He understood perfectly that one could not hide the fact that he was dating two beautiful girls at the same time, especially if they were best friends like them.
If you try to manage it by hiding the truth, secretly keeping it from both while dating them, sooner or later, it will cause problems.
Hiding only temporarily solves problems, and it doesn't serve for long-term development.
Therefore, one must learn to handle the situation with a strategy of gradual openness.
Of course, openness doesn't mean revealing everything at once… that would just cause everything to collapse.
It must be done little by little.
They must gradually realize that something is wrong.
"After all, I'm just starting!"
Before starting, he talked to the food to be ready to be eaten.
Lin Yi opened both bentos and began to eat them happily.
Ran's bento followed a normal homemade style, while Sonoko's was luxurious.
When the two were combined, it resulted in a meal that mixed the ordinary with a touch of luxury, and the luxury with a touch of affection.
Moreover, with the success of having conquered both, it made the taste of the bentos incredibly delicious.
Seeing how happy Lin Yi was while eating, Ran and Sonoko showed satisfied smiles.
