It wasn't Ai who accompanied him to buy groceries.
Therefore, Guangyou and Judy mostly discussed what to eat for lunch.
Once we've agreed on the plan, we put the ingredients in the shopping basket.
This grocery shopping trip only took about ten minutes.
If it were Ai Haibara, this time would have to be doubled.
When he and Xiao Ai usually go grocery shopping, he holds her hand and they stroll leisurely through the supermarket, chatting as they shop.
Unless there's a shortage of time, it's always like this.
But this time, Judy accompanied him to the grocery store.
So this time Guangyou was much faster.
...
For some reason, Guangyou felt that there was something strange about that sentence.
They did not dwell on this issue.
After selecting the ingredients, Judy went to pay the bill and left the supermarket with Guangyou.
When he and Judy returned to the apartment with the groceries they had bought, it was almost dinnertime.
Before eating, the two had already discussed and agreed on the division of labor.
The head chef is Kōyū, and Judy does small tasks on the side, such as washing vegetables.
Perhaps because he was thinking about Ai, Kōyū forgot he was in Jodie's apartment while cooking.
He was busy with what he was doing, and subconsciously called out Ai's name:
"Ai, could you bring me the scissors from over there on the table?"
A hand handed the scissors to Guangyou.
After taking the scissors, Guangyou continued processing the ingredients in his hands.
There's no need for him and Ai to be so polite.
So, mistaking Jodie for Ai, he habitually didn't say thank you.
He didn't realize what was happening until after he had made two cuts.
His hands stopped abruptly, and turning to look at Judy beside him with a smile, Kōyū said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Ms. Judy, I'm so sorry."
"I'm used to calling it that."
Judy waved her hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned.
"fine."
"You can continue with your work."
"good."
Seeing that Judy didn't seem to care, Kōyū turned back and continued processing the ingredients.
From an angle that Guangyou couldn't see, Judy's eyes still revealed a hint of sadness.
It wasn't because Guangyou mistook her for someone else.
I'm just a little envious of Ai.
If only the person she likes could be like that.
However, that's impossible now.
She has decided to give up on this relationship that is destined to have no future.
Watching Kōyū's busy figure, Jodie suddenly thought of Akai Shuichi.
There was no melodramatic plot twist where Kousuke replaced Shuichi Akai and became Jodie's new romantic interest.
However, the image of Shuichi Akai in her mind gradually began to fade.
It's slow, but it's a good omen.
I'm not afraid of slow speed, I'm afraid of it not fading, or even becoming more profound.
The fact that this figure has completely disappeared does not mean that she has forgotten Shuichi Akai, nor does it mean that she has forgotten the time they spent together.
This signifies that she has completely let go of this relationship.
As for Kōyū, Judy was simply grateful.
At most, he'll just be a younger brother.
...
During lunch, Guangyou and Judy chatted about everyday things.
For example, there are some differences between the United States and China, such as customs and lifestyles.
We also talked about career-related matters.
Judy did most of the talking, while Kōyū could only chime in from the sidelines.
Because his previous profession made him unsuitable for this topic.
Think about it.
He discussed with Judy, an FBI agent, the incident where he accidentally caused an FBI agent to fall into a permanent sleep...
Or we could discuss details of his past missions, such as what kind of guns he used...
Oh, Jehovah, Jade Emperor, isn't this just walking into a trap?
If he actually reveals all this, he won't be arrested, but his plan to work together will probably fall through.
He had revealed his true identity to Judy.
But it has definitely been artistically processed.
He was certain that the FBI would not be able to find out about his past experiences or the missions he had taken on.
All we can find is that he was once a member of an orphanage and had suffered brain damage. Later, he stayed with the Mori family and attended Teitan Elementary School.
Therefore, he boldly hid some things.
Even professional lie detectors can't detect him.
Therefore, Judy did most of the talking about their careers, and he just chimed in.
She mentioned a few missions that didn't need to be kept secret and had relatively exciting plots, so Guangyou just listened to them like they were stories on a midday TV channel.
Not long after lunch, the topic changed instantly.
After stacking the empty bowls and plates on the table, Kōyū looked up and said to Judy, who had intended to help:
"Ms. Jodie, could you please contact Shuichi Akai for me now?"
"As for joining forces, let's not talk about it for now."
"You can talk to me after I've met Shuichi Akai."
There's no rush to join forces.
Just like he said before, once Shuichi Akai finds out that Akemi was saved by him and is not dead, his attitude will definitely change.
That would increase the likelihood of getting the FBI to agree to cooperate.
Although Mitsuyu didn't know why the FBI refused to cooperate.
In his view, joining forces is a win-win situation.
Even if there are downsides, they won't be too difficult to handle.
He should be able to handle it.
Or perhaps the FBI has its own dignity and doesn't want to join forces with other organizations.
Anyway, there are all sorts of bizarre reasons, and he couldn't guess them.
To increase the chances of success, it is essential to have him meet with Shuichi Akai first.
Seeing Kōyū urging her on, Jodie became curious about why Kōyū wanted to find Akai Shuichi.
