Conan's villains

Time flies, and good times are fleeting. In the blink of an eye, a week of leisurely time has slipped away like sand in one's hand.

Thinking of the last Chinese class of the week, Yuanzi repeatedly reminded him not to forget how he looked when he went to the appointment, Lu Ming smiled in his heart. Yuanzi had a good impression of him, and he saw it, which made him feel honored. It is the pride of every teacher that a teacher can be loved by his students.

As for whether this good impression will evolve into other feelings, Lu Ming did not think much about it, or rather, his current environment made him not in the mood to think about these.

Passing through a large area of lush forest, Lu Ming found the location of the party villa with reference to the address Yuanzi gave him.

This is a villa built deep in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, like a natural green barrier. In front is the forest that Lu Ming passed through. The villa and the forest are connected by a simple cable bridge. Under the cable bridge, the valley is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen, and the sound of the stream can be faintly heard from below.

As the owner of the villa, Yuanzi stood in front of the villa and wandered back and forth, standing on tiptoe from time to time to look into the distance, like a wife waiting for her husband to return.

When Lu Ming finally appeared in front of her, Yuanzi's eyes lit up, and her body was like a husky that had broken free from its reins, taking two steps at a time and running towards Lu Ming quickly.

Lu Ming was walking on the cable bridge, and when he saw Yuanzi running towards him, he stopped and was about to say hello to her, but Yuanzi ran into his arms, put her arms around his neck, and said with a grin,"Teacher Lu Ming, welcome to the party."

The cable bridge swayed slightly because of Yuanzi's collision, making a"jijijiji" sound. Lu Ming broke out in a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. This cable bridge was not very strong. If something unexpected happened and his life was lost here, he would really have nowhere to appeal.

Gently patting Yuanzi on the back, Lu Ming said,"Suzuki classmate, let's go over and talk first."

Yuanzi then let go of Lu Ming, took Lu Ming's arm affectionately, and walked towards the villa.

Perhaps because it had been uninhabited for a long time, the interior of the villa was not luxurious, and could even be described as simple.

In the living room of the villa, a group of men and women sat together, chatting and laughing. Seeing Yuanzi coming in with a man, the leading woman stood up from her seat and said to Yuanzi,"Yuanzi, is this the one you were talking about?"

"Yes, sister." Yuanzi pointed at Lu Ming with a smile:"This is the teacher I often mentioned to you, the one I admire the most, Mr. Lu Ming, Mr. Lu Ming, this is my sister, Suzuki Ayako."

Suzuki Ayako narrowed her eyes, with a gentle and virtuous look. Unlike Yuanzi, Suzuki Ayako had the demeanor of a daughter of a famous family. In terms of temperament, she was much more mature than Yuanzi.

Lu Ming looked at Suzuki Ayako with a smile and said,"Hello, Miss Suzuki, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"Teacher Lu Ming, please don't say that." Suzuki Ayako smiled and said,"It is an honor for Ayako that the teacher can come to the party. Also, Yuanzi must have been bothering the teacher constantly at school. Today, I have this opportunity to thank Teacher Lu Ming."

"Sister." Yuanzi pouted in dissatisfaction:"How can I bother the teacher in school? I am the representative of the Chinese class and the assistant of Mr. Lu Ming."

"Yes, she is an assistant who loves to cause trouble."Ayako ruffled her sister's hair.

The little fight between the sisters made everyone laugh knowingly.

With Ayako's introduction, Lu Ming got to know several of Ayako's classmates one by one.

They were all members of the film club during college. The main person in charge was the long-haired, introverted Ota Masaru, who was responsible for photography, Hiroki Kakutani, who was responsible for props, the fat Takahashi Ryoichi, who was in charge of props, and Chikako Ikeda, who was the director and scriptwriter and the club president at the time.

They talked about various interesting things in the club during college, all of which were nostalgic.

The sky gradually darkened, and before they knew it, several hours had passed quietly.

"It's getting late, I'll go prepare dinner for everyone." Suzuki Ayako stood up from her seat and said to everyone

"Then, Mr. Lu Ming, I will take you to your room. I have already prepared it for you."Yuanzi looked at Lu Ming with a hint of pride in her smile.

Lu Ming nodded and said hello. Under everyone's warm gaze, he followed Yuanzi to the second floor.

The rooms on the second floor were arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Yuanzi led Lu Ming to the innermost room.

After opening the door and entering, the room was very tidy, and there was even a faint fragrance in the air. It was obvious that Yuanzi had prepared it carefully.

"How is it, Teacher Lu Ming, are you satisfied?"

Yuanzi turned to Lu Ming, full of expectation, like a child who had done a good deed and was waiting to be praised.

Lu Ming smiled and nodded:"I am very satisfied, thank you Yuanzi."

Yuanzi laughed and said:"As long as the teacher is satisfied, by the way, my room is right across from the teacher, you can always come to me if you have any questions."

"OK, I understand"

"Then I won't disturb the teacher's rest. Xiaolan should be here soon. I'll go downstairs and wait for her."

After Yuanzi left, Lu Ming simply looked at the layout of the room. He opened the curtains and found that it had been drizzling outside.

The sky was getting darker. Except for the light from the villa, there was no bright light outside.

""Ah! Sorry, sorry."

A familiar exclamation reached Lu Ming's ears from the corridor outside. It was Xiaolan's voice.

Lu Ming opened the door and went out. He saw Xiaolan hurriedly closing the door and apologizing repeatedly. It seemed that she had walked into the wrong room.

"Mao Li classmate."Lu Ming shouted at her:"Your room is here"

"Teacher Lu Ming."Lu Ming's appearance made Xiaolan's eyes light up, as if she had found her backbone. She walked up to him and said awkwardly,"Yuanzi didn't tell me where my room is, so I……"
