For a moment, the air was unbearably awkward.
Ran lowered her head in silence, her face red, while Fang Zheng had no idea what to say either.
What was he supposed to say at a time like this?
Your first kiss wasn't with Kudo Shinichi, it was with me, Fang Zheng!!
That didn't seem quite right... Hm? Wait? First kiss?
At that thought, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Sorry, Ran, I'm really sorry. Um... I mixed you up with Mira. But it's fine, your first kiss had already gone to Kudo Shinichi..."
"Eh?!"
Hearing that, Ran was so shocked that she temporarily forgot about being forcibly kissed. She looked up at Fang Zheng in surprise.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, I-I've never... kissed Shinichi like that?"
"Eh? You haven't? I remember in that Fourteenth Target..."
"???"
Oh, right. That was the name of a movie.
Fang Zheng waved his hand and thought back.
"I remember you and Conan went to an underwater restaurant before, then there was an explosion. Conan's little stubby legs got pinned by a car, and you gave him mouth-to-mouth oxygen, didn't you?"
That was right. It was one of the scenes Fang Zheng remembered most clearly from the earlier movies. Though he hadn't experienced it with them in this world, he remembered correctly that it had happened.
"I was only worried about Conan at the time..."
As she said that, Ran suddenly froze. She had probably only just realized that "Conan = Shinichi," and therefore, "kissing Conan = kissing Shinichi = giving Shinichi her first kiss."
Ran's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.
"I-I didn't know Conan was Shinichi at the time. I was only trying to save someone..."
"But objectively speaking, you did kiss Kudo Shinichi."
Fang Zheng quietly passed the blame
