After seeing off Ayako, who had expressed her feelings, Yuzuru walked towards the hospital with a slightly cheerful expression.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ai, who had already gone in, standing quietly behind the glass door. When she saw him come in, she wrinkled her nose and gave a cold snort.
Seeing Ai's reaction, Yuzuru couldn't help but find it amusing and teased, "What's wrong? Who upset our Ai-sama again?"
Ai turned her head away, puffing out her cheeks, and said angrily, "Hmph, you know the truth in your heart!"
"I really don't know. Could you give me a hint?" Yu Shengnan looked innocent, his eyes wide open, trying to show his confusion.
Ai glared at him and said, "You were outside with Sonoko for so long just now, don't think I don't know anything."
"If I said we were talking about something, would you believe me, Ai?" Yuzuru Nan felt unsure of himself when he said this, and his voice grew softer and softer.
Ai couldn't believe it and raised her voice, saying, "Talking about things? Do you stick your tongue out when you talk about things in your family?"
"Cough cough cough!" Yuzuru choked and quickly asked, "Really? How did you see that from so far away?"
"Hmph~" Ai smiled smugly, took her hand out from behind her back, and held a pair of binoculars in it, with a multi-purpose capsule hanging next to it.
"This works?"
Yuzuru never expected that his own prop would backfire so badly.
What kind of random stuff are these multi-purpose capsules filled with?!
Is this how it's used?
Seeing Hanyu Nan's troubled expression, Ai stopped smiling smugly and turned to walk towards the elevator.
Her petite figure appeared somewhat frail under the light.
She wasn't angry with Yu Shengnan; after all, she was used to this kind of thing.
However, this time the target was Sonoko's older sister, and Ai inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
Older sister and younger sister...
(Isn't having me and my sister enough?) Ai thought to herself as she walked, pouting.
Hanyu Nan, who was following behind, did not expect Ai to have this idea.
Otherwise, I would definitely say that they are not sisters!
That buff is 10% more than yours!
...
When the two arrived at the ward by elevator, there were no longer only Ran and Ayumi in the room.
Ayumi's mother, Mrs. Yoshida, had also arrived by this time.
Upon seeing Yuzuru Hanyu enter, he immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude for the excellent medical care his daughter had received.
"Haha, Ayumi and my sister Ai are good friends, Mrs. Yoshida, you don't need to be so polite."
While exchanging pleasantries with each other, Yuzuru Hanyu wore a gentle smile, and then glanced at Mrs. Yoshida.
He had always been very curious about Ayumi's mysterious mother in his previous life.
She only appeared a few times, and each time it was only her body that was shown in the shot; her true face was never revealed.
Just like Tom's owner in Tom and Jerry, she never shows her face.
Seeing it this time satisfied my curiosity.
Mrs. Yoshida was dressed simply and appropriately, and her appearance was like a larger version of Ayumi, with clear resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes.
She looked a little tired, perhaps from worrying and running around about her daughter, but her dignified and virtuous demeanor was still evident.
In subsequent conversations, it was also evident that she spoke in a very refined manner.
Every word was perfectly chosen, expressing gratitude without sacrificing politeness and humility.
I just don't know why my daughter has such a lively and active personality.
Ayumi probably inherited it from her father!
"Brother Yuzuru, Sister Ran, and Ai, remember to come to my house to play~" Ayumi leaned on Mrs. Yoshida's shoulder, waving her little hand to say goodbye, her eyes full of anticipation and reluctance.
"Okay, I'll bring Ai to visit you then." Yuzuru replied cooperatively, putting Ayumi at ease.
After seeing the mother and daughter off, night had completely fallen.
The dark blue night sky is dotted with countless stars, like dazzling gems set on the vast celestial canvas.
Under the starlight and in the evening breeze, the three of them chose to walk home instead of taking a car.
The evening breeze ruffled their hair, bringing a touch of coolness.
Ran tilted her head slightly, gazing at the beautiful starry sky, a faint smile playing on her lips. Ai followed quietly beside her, occasionally kicking a small pebble from the roadside.
Yuzuru walked in the middle, sharing with Ran what had happened that afternoon.
He described it vividly, and Xiaolan listened with great interest, occasionally exclaiming in amazement, feeling it was such a pity to miss such a wonderful experience.
"Ah~ I should have gone with you guys." Xiaolan looked regretful.
But she couldn't let go of Ayumi, who was injured at the time.
Yuzuru smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, there will be another chance next time."
They walked and chatted for a while, then Xiaolan stopped at an intersection. "Nan, Ai, see you tomorrow!"
Today is Saturday, a day that belongs to Akemi alone.
She had to go back home to feed her hungry dad and Conan, otherwise they would start eating instant noodles like when she wasn't there.
Those guys can't take care of themselves at all when they're not home.
"See you tomorrow!" Yuzuru gently tapped Ran's cheek, his gesture tender and full of love, and then he and Ai watched her walk away with light steps.
"Alright, we should head back now."
Yuzuru glanced at the time; it was already very late. He had originally planned to go find Yukiko to settle his debt, but now he could only wait until tomorrow.
He took Ai's hand, and the two walked together toward the villa.
...
Nighttime, at the Kudo residence.
This time, Conan, contrary to his usual behavior, did not stay at the Mouri Detective Agency, but instead headed home with a heavy heart.
The thing people fear most is owing money to others.
Before the debts were paid off, I really couldn't eat or sleep well.
It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my heart, making it hard to breathe.
When Conan arrived home, panting, and went inside...
He saw his mother, Yukiko, sitting on the living room sofa, her face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, and she looked like she was about to interrogate him.
"Hehehe...Mom, what's wrong? Who upset you?" Conan chuckled dryly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Yukiko remained silent, only staring at him with cold eyes, making the whole atmosphere extremely oppressive.
In the end, it was Conan who couldn't hold on any longer.
"Um... Mom, there's something I want to tell you..." Conan's voice trailed off, his confidence clearly waning.
"Are you trying to say that you owe a huge sum of money in compensation?!" Yukiko blurted out before anyone else could finish the sentence, her face dark.
Conan's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was terribly wrong. He stammered, "Mom, I... I can argue, no, I can explain."
