"Something else? What else could there be? Are you expecting half a pound of poison in the chocolate, or a 'buy one get one free' coupon?" Mu Tianyuan saw Sonoko's gossipy expression, but he still couldn't understand why the question of whether there was anything else about the chocolate was so worthy of Sonoko's gossip.
So he immediately rolled his eyes at Sonoko and replied. Then, without waiting for Sonoko to say anything, Mu Tianyuan said, "Alright, Sonoko, just say whatever it is. As long as you say it directly, I'll consider being your brother-in-law!"
Mu Tianyuan felt there must be something wrong here, otherwise, Sonoko wouldn't be so gossipy!
"Do you know?" Sonoko didn't pay attention to Mu Tianyuan's consideration of being her brother-in-law. Instead, she coughed twice and looked at Mu Tianyuan mysteriously, saying, "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, the most important festival of the year. Girls will give chocolate to boys they like on Valentine's Day! It's obvious that the chocolate you received is… hehehe…"
"Oh, so I got confessed to, huh? But isn't Valentine's Day tomorrow? Can you send Valentine's Day chocolate early?" Mu Tianyuan asked, still eating chocolate, somewhat confused after figuring out what was going on. Then, the next second, the usually calm Mu Tianyuan suddenly spewed out his chocolate, staring at Sonoko and shouting, "Wait! What did you just say?!"
"Didn't you understand? A girl is confessing to you!" Originally, Sonoko thought Mu Tianyuan's calm expression was boring, but seeing Mu Tianyuan's surprised face, Sonoko immediately cheered up. That's right, that's right, this is the correct reaction!
Then Sonoko added, "As for why it's sent early, don't forget that Valentine's Day is on a weekend, and we don't have classes, so of course, it has to be sent early!"
"No! I mean, you just told me tomorrow is Valentine's Day?!" Mu Tianyuan was no longer interested in being confessed to or why he received chocolate early! He was excited because it was freaking Valentine's Day! It was clearly just a period when summer was gradually turning into autumn not long ago! How the heck did it become Valentine's Day in the blink of an eye?! How did this year even pass?! Did he sleep for several months, or is Valentine's Day not on February 14th in Japan?!
"That's right!" Sonoko nodded vigorously, then looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "You didn't even pay attention to the date, did you?"
"Hehe, yeah, I didn't pay attention at all. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have even realized it now…" Mu Tianyuan replied, his mouth twitching. He really hadn't paid attention. He clearly saw the date on the TV news as late October not long ago. If Sonoko hadn't said tomorrow was Valentine's Day, how would he have known anything?!
Then Mu Tianyuan used the private line to ask the little fox, who was so startled by Sonoko's words that she dropped her chocolate: "Do you think this passage of time is normal…?"
"Obviously, if this counts as normal, I'll eat the calendar!" The little fox was no less shocked than Li Junyang. She was also shocked at how the days passed so quickly!
At this moment, Mu Tianyuan looked at Sonoko and Ran, whose expressions were odd, and asked, "Well, let me ask you two, do you think this date is correct?"
"What's wrong with it?" Sonoko and Ran looked at Mu Tianyuan with puzzlement after hearing his question. Seeing their expressions, Mu Tianyuan immediately twitched his mouth, then waved his hand and said, "No, nothing…"
Damn it, these are two stupid NPCs! Or rather, everyone except me and the little fox are a bunch of stupid NPCs!
Sonoko and Ran saw that Mu Tianyuan's expression was a bit off and immediately looked at him with concern. Then Ran asked, "Xiao Mu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm just lamenting how quickly time flies and how fleeting years are…" What else could Mu Tianyuan say? Looking at Ran and Sonoko's expressions, what could he say? Should he tell them the date was wrong? Just based on their accustomed expressions, Mu Tianyuan felt that if he said it, they would probably treat him like a lunatic and take care of him!
However, after struggling for a few seconds, Mu Tianyuan suddenly had a realization. Damn it, the timeline of this Conan world isn't a traditional linear one to begin with. Leaving aside other things, just think about the Conan I watched before.
It's been twenty years, and many people have watched it since childhood, and now they're even watching it with their kids. If it followed a normal timeline, Ran would probably be a mother by now, but she's still in her second year of high school, and Conan has been an elementary school student for twenty years, known as the 'eternal elementary school student'! Given all this, what's wrong with a chaotic timeline?!
Hmm, it's not that there's no problem. At the very least, Mu Tianyuan doesn't know how to judge dates anymore...
Thinking of this, Mu Tianyuan silently used his private line to tell the little fox: "I've decided, after I go home, I'm throwing away our broken calendar!"
The little fox nodded vigorously: "Agreed! That useless thing is pointless to keep!"
Just as Mu Tianyuan and the little fox unanimously decided to never use a calendar again, Sonoko looked at Mu Tianyuan with a gossipy expression and asked, "Xiao Mu, do you know who sent you that chocolate?"
"How would I know?" Mu Tianyuan replied, rolling his eyes. Then Mu Tianyuan looked at Sonoko and said, "Hey, Sonoko, that chocolate wasn't sent by you, was it? If so, I'll give it back to you right now. As for the part I ate, I'll spit it out for you now! If I really can't spit it out, wait a day and I'll return it to you."
"Bastard! What do you mean?!" Although Sonoko had no desire for anything more than friendship with Mu Tianyuan, she bristled upon hearing his words…
Ran, pulling Sonoko who wanted to take Mu Tianyuan down with her, looked at Mu Tianyuan with a helpless smile: "Xiao Mu, you really are…"
This guy's words were truly too harsh. He deserved to be single!
"Alright, alright, just kidding, don't take it seriously, Roundy." Mu Tianyuan smiled as he patted Sonoko's shoulder, then looked at her curiously, "Sonoko, do you know who sent it to me?"
"I don't know." Sonoko pouted, glaring at Mu Tianyuan. But the next second, her inner gossip triumphed over her anger. Sonoko said, somewhat annoyed, "Honestly, even if that person couldn't deliver the chocolate in person, she should at least leave a name, right? Otherwise, how is Xiao Mu supposed to reply to her?"
"That's what I was thinking! I was planning to send her a hotel room card as a return gift on Valentine's Day," Mu Tianyuan shrugged, eating his chocolate.
Sonoko, Ran: "…" Your return gift is so unique! Do you think the girl who sent you chocolate would rush over and snatch back the chocolate and spit on your face if she heard about your unique return gift plan?
After an exasperated glance at Li Junyang, Ran said with a wry smile, "Xiao Mu, can you not make such jokes? If others heard it, they'd misunderstand you for being a hooligan."
Ran knew that Mu Tianyuan was just a loose cannon, but outsiders didn't know that. It was fortunate that there was no one else around, otherwise, Mu Tianyuan would definitely be misunderstood again.
"Misunderstand then, I don't care if they live or die." Mu Tianyuan shook his head indifferently and replied. He didn't care what others thought. He lived his own life, what else could he expect from them?
And after a long silence, Sonoko then put on a disdainful expression and looked at Mu Tianyuan, saying, "What misunderstanding? Someone who can come up with such a disgusting return gift is naturally a hooligan!"
Then Sonoko exaggeratedly performed: "Oh my god, how can I have such a vulgar friend? No, I must stay away from you! Lest I learn bad things from you!"
"Tch, you need me to teach you how to be bad? Besides, I'm just being responsible with my feelings, alright? Only dating without wanting to sleep together is truly being a hooligan!" Mu Tianyuan replied, rolling his eyes as he ate the chocolate from the anonymous sender who didn't leave a name. Sonoko immediately became even more disdainful upon hearing this: "You're polluting beautiful love!"
"I don't even know what love is, and I'm already polluting it?" Mu Tianyuan stated that he wouldn't admit to this. He clearly hadn't done anything, alright! Sonoko was definitely slandering him here!
Then Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes again: "Besides, don't normal people date with the intention of sleeping together?"
"Who said that? I won't!" Sonoko strongly disagreed with Mu Tianyuan's twisted logic. Even though she liked handsome guys, what she longed for was romantic love, alright? Who was like this guy, utterly shameless!
"So you're not normal. You're a hooligan." Mu Tianyuan replied righteously. Then, without waiting for Sonoko to say anything, Mu Tianyuan said very seriously, "What do you think is the purpose of a man and a woman dating? Isn't it to have that other half? And don't you have to get married after finding the right person? And don't you have to sleep together after getting married? If you don't sleep together, how will you procreate? So, dating without wanting to sleep together is being a hooligan!"
"Uh…" Ran and Sonoko were a bit dazed to hear Mu Tianyuan's words. They blinked their eyes and pondered for a while. Then Sonoko looked at Ran, bewildered, and said, "He seems to make sense…"
"Yeah, but why do I feel like something's wrong?" Ran also looked at Sonoko with a puzzled expression at this moment. According to Mu Tianyuan's words, logically, there didn't seem to be any problem, but why did she always feel like something was off?!
After pondering for a while, Ran and Sonoko finally reacted. So, the two of them simultaneously glared at Mu Tianyuan and said, "Twisted logic!"
