...That incident half a year ago?
As that keyword flashed through their minds, both of them felt their hearts skip a beat. Vermouth adjusted her glasses and secretly glanced at Jiang Xia. "..." She knew this outing wouldn't be simple.
At the same time, someone else had apparently sensed the key point in the darkness.
Conan curiously looked up and spoke in an innocent elementary school student's voice. "That incident half a year ago? Did something bad happen back then?"
"That's right." The stylish woman looked at this budding handsome boy and happily teased him. "Want to know, little handsome? It's a ve—ry scary story!"
Conan: "..."
Though he was annoyed at being treated like a child, he nodded honestly.
The stylish woman was just about to begin when a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her. "Shut up."
Jiang Xia looked over and saw a dark-skinned, rugged man with stubble. The man glared at the stylish woman in displeasure. "Can you just tell children about that sort of thing? And I already said—if anyone brought up that guy at this gathering, I'd turn around and go home immediately."
With that, he turned and left.
Steel Man froze. "You're really leaving? Didn't you just say we'd go drinking together after skating?"
"Who said I was going home?" The dark-skinned tough guy snorted. "I'm going to smoke nearby. Thanks to that airheaded lady, I remembered that disgusting incident again."
Only after he had gone far away did the stylish woman come back to her senses. She angrily snapped at her companion, "What do you mean, I'm airheaded? He's obviously the one in the wrong! I only accidentally let it slip, and I didn't even actually tell that little brat."
Conan, who was being pointed at: "..."
