But Ai is different from these girls.

She skipped the previous steps and went straight into the process.

It's missing the two parts: holding hands and humming.

Seeing Ai slow down her pace, Kōyū closed the door and quickly followed after her.

I bought you a dress today.

At this point, Guangyou decided not to hide anymore.

After telling Ai, he took the gift bag that he had hidden behind his back and brought it to the front, gesturing to Ai.

"But I've already bought a few items today."

As she spoke, Ai raised her chin slightly, gesturing to the pile of shopping bags on the sofa.

She wasn't refusing; she just wanted to say that Guangyou didn't need to spend that money.

Guangyou didn't care.

He said to Ai:

"A girl can never have too many clothes."

"The more you buy, the more choices you have."

Besides these unexpected events, he had another reason:

"When I saw this dress this afternoon, I wondered how it would look on my daughter."

So I bought it.

"Just pretend you're wearing it for me."

Upon hearing Kousuke's words, Ai stopped talking.

The corners of her lips turned up, and you could tell from her voice that she was in a good mood.

"I also bought you one or two items, you can try them on later."

"Okay," Guangyou readily agreed.

He also said:

"Actually, it's okay not to try. I trust my Ai's judgment."

Ai Haibara seemed to appreciate those words.

Of course, it depends on who says it.

But she still said:

"Let's give it a try. If there are any problems, we can exchange it."

"I'll try it out in a bit," Guangyou said with a smile.

The two sat down on the sofa side by side, and Mingmei watched them with a relieved smile on her face.

She glanced at the gift bag in Guangyou's hand and asked:

"Kuangyou, what kind of clothes did you buy for Shiho?"

It's common for boyfriends and girlfriends to give each other clothes, and Akemi, unaware of Kōyū's feelings, asked him directly.

To this, Guangyou smiled slightly, keeping everyone in suspense:

"You'll find out once you open it."

"So mysterious." Ai glanced at Kousuke and then held out her hand to him.

Her meaning was quite clear, so Kōyū handed the gift bag to Ai.

At the same time, he said something mysteriously to Ai:

"I hope you like the gift we agreed on yesterday."
