Kazuha Toyama's words seemed to have guessed Heiji Hattori's true intentions, causing Heiji to bristle and shout, "Are you kidding me? Me, jealous of him?"
"So what if he's better looking than me and gets better grades? What's so great about that? Let him compete with me in deduction, skiing, or kendo!"
Heiji Hattori's excited reaction drew the attention of his classmates.
One of the boys, who usually got along well with Hattori Heiji, walked over to him after hearing what he said.
The boy reached out and gently patted Hattori Heiji's shoulder, saying with an air of knowing what was going on, "Heiji, you don't know yet, but there's a saying that's been circulating widely among the students lately."
Hattori Heiji was taken aback by what he said, and asked with some confusion, "What did you say?"
The boy didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Looks are everything; everything else has to take a backseat to them."
Upon hearing this, the other classmates nearby also began to reconcile.
“Heiji, it’s not wrong for you to be jealous of him. Chen Anxia is indeed worthy of jealousy. I remember when I first saw him, I thought he was some kind of celebrity.”
"Me too. I have to say that Chen Anxia has a perfect grasp of both looks and temperament."
"To be honest, Chen Anxia's looks and temperament are simply those of a born star. I bet he will definitely debut as a star in the future!"
"I have a feeling that Chen Anxia will become a big star in the future. What do you guys think? Should we go and get on his good side now, and maybe get his autograph?"
......
When Hattori Heiji heard what his classmate said, his already dark face turned even darker.
What annoyed Hattori Heiji even more was that a group of girls around Toyama Kazuha also started discussing Chen Anxia.
"Chen Anxia is so handsome, and I feel that his temperament is even better than that of celebrities!"
"Heye, you know so much about Chen Anxia, have you been secretly keeping an eye on him all along?"
"Huh!? I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Um, no, no, we understand, hehe..."
"Oh, I'm not talking to you guys anymore."
"But then again, only a beauty like He Ye in our class is a good match for Chen Anxia."
"That's right, that's right. He Ye and An Xia together are simply a perfect couple."
......
Although he didn't want to admit it, looking at Kazuha Toyama's blushing and shy appearance, Heiji Hattori felt a sense of crisis.
At the same time, Hattori Heiji also felt jealousy and displeasure towards Chen Anxia for the first time.
Despite his seemingly oblivious nature when it comes to romance, Hattori Heiji has long believed that Toyama Kazuha is the one he wants to spend his life with.
Seeing Kazuha Toyama act this way because of another boy, it's no wonder Heiji Hattori is extremely jealous.
Heiji Hattori was unaware that the group of girls were clearly watching his jealous and possessed behavior.
Immediately, they couldn't help but chuckle and whisper among themselves.
"See? See? I told you he cared a lot about Kazuha."
"Hehe, it's about time we gave him a nudge. He clearly likes Kazuha, but he pretends not to care."
"I wonder if this emotional idiot will confess to Kazuha after this ordeal. I'm really looking forward to it."
"I think so, because Chen Anxia is such a huge threat."
"Yes, yes, Chen Anxia is really too charming. I receive love letters almost every day now."
"Heye, I meant what I just said. You and Chen Anxia are a perfect match, like a golden couple. If that blockhead doesn't get it soon, you might want to consider him?"
......
Chen Anxia was naturally unaware that she had once again become the focus of attention.
Just as Chen Anxia entered the room, before he could even take in the surroundings, he heard a sweet, clear female voice suddenly shout, "Shinichi, hurry up, it's our Teitan Junior High School's turn to eat!"
"Ugh, this is so troublesome. They even have to restrict meal times. I wish I hadn't come."
"There's nothing we can do about it. There are too many schools coming to the ski resort this time, so we've chosen to have meals at different times to avoid overcrowding."
"And I don't know who got so excited about that case from four years ago..."
Listening to the conversation around her, Chen Anxia saw a man and a woman walk past her side by side.
Chen Anxia really didn't expect to run into them here, to meet...Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri!

Chapter 359 The Beginning of the Detective's Journey: Sonoko Suzuki's Flirting (Please Subscribe!)
Just like Heiji Hattori, Chen Anxia did not take the initiative to befriend Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.
Heiji Hattori was at least a classmate, so even though Chen Anxia's initiative to befriend him seemed a bit abrupt, it was still understandable.
Chen Anxia has absolutely no connection with the current Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.
If it were after the original plot had begun, Chen Anxia could have pretended to be a fan and approached him with the excuse, "Oh, you're the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo?"
However, judging from the conversation between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, Shinichi Kudo is currently only a junior high school student.
Although Shinichi Kudo has embarked on the path of a detective, he is still just a little-known detective, or rather, someone with no fame at all.
At the same time, Chen Anxia also learned the general timeline.
The timeline of "Detective Conan" is extremely chaotic, and the plot is incredibly complex.
Chen Anxia now only remembers the main characters in "Detective Conan" and some of the classic plot points.
Therefore, Chen Anxia did not intend to actually figure out the timeline of "Detective Conan", but only wanted to know what period it was in.
Now, Chen Anxia has the answer.
In Chen Anxia's limited memory, the time when Shinichi Kudo was given APTX4869 by Gin and turned into Conan Edogawa was when Shinichi Kudo was a sophomore in high school.
This means that there are still at least two years before the story begins.
Although Chen Anxia didn't really want to have anything to do with Shinichi Kudo.
But a very real problem is facing Chen Anxia: how should Chen Anxia embark on the path of detective work?
It's important to know that Chen Anxia's current identity is quite special; she is an exchange student from the Chinese nation.
Given this identity, how will Chen Anxia handle various cases? And how will she gain the approval of the island nation's government?
Even if Chen Anxia returns to China, he is still only a junior high school student. Without the support of official connections, the police will not allow him to be involved in the case.
As for becoming a police officer, although Chen Anxia is capable of it, he will not take that path.
The mission clearly states that Chen Anxia must earn the title of the top detective, not the top police officer.
In this situation, if Chen Anxia could memorize the plot of "Detective Conan", he might be able to proactively intervene in some cases through planning.
However, Chen Anxia had forgotten most of the plot, and coupled with the chaotic timeline of "Detective Conan", Chen Anxia was unable to exploit any loopholes in the plot.
So, how can Chen Anxia successfully embark on his detective career? How can he effectively handle cases, especially major ones?
The answer lies in Shinichi Kudo.
Given Shinichi Kudo's unique physique, as long as Chen Anxia stays by Conan's side after Shinichi Kudo becomes Conan Edogawa, he will be able to get firsthand information about cases before the police do.
Therefore, the importance of Shinichi Kudo to Chen Anxia is self-evident.
However, this also means that Chen Anxia is very likely to encounter the Black Organization in the future.
Of course, Chen Anxia's encounter with the Black Organization was destined to be anything but pleasant.
Chen Anxia was well aware of this, so he had to make preparations as much as possible over the next two years.
After clarifying her thoughts, Chen Anxia felt a little relieved.
It was only then that Chen Anxia remembered another piece of information from the conversation between Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.
Chen Anxia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured, "A case from four years ago..."
"Given Shinichi Kudo's unique personality, there is a high possibility that a case will occur at this ski resort."
"Could this case be related to the case from four years ago?"
"It seems necessary to find out what exactly happened four years ago..."
"This case might be the beginning of my journey as a detective..."
Muttering to herself, Chen Anxia seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, exuding a confident and unique charm.
Chen Anxia's posture attracted a lot of attention from those around her, including many young girls who were already interested in her and were eager to ask for her contact information.
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Chen Anxia's eyes shone brightly as he continued to mutter, "If it could start with defeating Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori, that would be perfect..."
Just as Chen Anxia finished speaking, a hesitant and shy voice came from beside her ear, saying, "You... hello."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia turned to look, and was momentarily stunned when she saw the shy-looking girl in front of her.
The girl's appearance somewhat overlapped with a character in Chen Anxia's memory, but because there are differences between the two-dimensional world and reality, Chen Anxia couldn't be sure and could only ask curiously, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the girl panicked and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is Suzuki Sonoko."
Upon hearing Sonoko Suzuki's self-introduction, Chen Anxia's face revealed a look of understanding, and he thought to himself, 'It really is her.'
At the same time, based on Chen Anxia's understanding of Suzuki Sonoko, he could roughly guess the purpose of Suzuki Sonoko's visit to him.
'Perhaps, Sonoko Suzuki could be the point of intersection between me and Shinichi Kudo...'
Thinking this, Chen Anxia smiled gently and asked, "I wonder what brings Miss Suzuki to see me?"
Sonoko Suzuki never expected that Chen Anxia, who seemed aloof, would have such a gentle side. She felt her heart beating faster, her face turning increasingly flushed, and her mind going completely blank.
In this state, Sonoko Suzuki forgot all the prepared words she had prepared and stammered, "Ah, um, I want..."
"No, it's not that I want it, it's...it's that my good friend Ran Mouri wants your contact information..."
At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki probably didn't know what she was saying, let alone that she would use Ran Mouri as an excuse. She just felt her mind going completely blank.
Chen Anxia was also taken aback when he realized that Suzuki Sonoko would actually "sell" Mouri Ran like that.
But Chen Anxia quickly realized what was going on and secretly cheered for Suzuki Sonoko.
Although Sonoko Suzuki did not intend to 'sell' Ran Mouri, it was exactly what Chen Anxia wanted.
