Guangyou had no way of knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that she didn't look away, he indulged in a moment of narcissism:
"So you're infatuated with my face?"
"Otherwise, why would they keep staring at me?"
If the roles of the two are switched.
It was Ai who asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Then Guangyou would definitely answer:
"Because you're good-looking."
"I can't get enough of it."
But it was Ai who answered at this moment.
Upon hearing this, she looked away and denied it.
"no."
Guangyou had known about her proud and arrogant personality for a long time.
These words should be heard from the opposite perspective.
"No" means "yes".
It's not as exaggerated as "obsessed" with it.
But I definitely like it.
The era of arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers is long gone.
In a free-choice relationship, the other person's appearance must conform to one's aesthetic standards.
Leaving aside special factors such as monetary power.
People generally don't develop feelings for those who don't fit their aesthetic preferences.
It is said that inner beauty is the most important.
That's true.
But the reality is that if someone's appearance doesn't match one's aesthetic standards, one probably wouldn't even want to get to know them.
Not to mention inner beauty.
Before it was even discovered, it was immediately rejected.
Being friends might be okay, but when it comes to dating, most people will choose someone who suits their tastes in every way.
The other person's appearance is one aspect of it.
In other words, Ai definitely likes his appearance.
Speaking of which, Kōyū vaguely remembers that Ai once praised him for being handsome.
After regaining his senses, Kwangyu simply smiled and said:
If you say no, then it's no.
“That’s not true to begin with,” Ai emphasized.
"Okay, okay, no."
After saying that, Guangyou continued to eat the egg porridge in his bowl.
After that, he would steal glances at Ai from time to time.
You can always find Ai staring at him.
After noticing him peeking, Ai would always immediately lower her head and shift her gaze back to the book.
...
Early that morning.
Following the plan made during the day, Guangyou arrived at the living room.
He first exchanged a glance with Conan, who was already waiting in the living room.
Then, in a sleepy, not fully awake tone, he asked:
"Conan, why aren't you asleep so late?"
"I have to go to school tomorrow."
After saying that, Guangyou deliberately yawned.
And Conan, following the pre-arranged script, continued speaking:
"I just suddenly had a premonition that I didn't want to."
"So I just came to take a look."
"However, I think I'm just worrying unnecessarily."
"You should go to sleep early, I should go to sleep too."
"Oh, goodnight."
After responding, Guangyou went to the bathroom.
...
At this very moment, in a room in the newly opened hospital, the lights were off, with only a few glimmers of silvery moonlight.
A woman poured herself a drink while counting in English:
"Seven..."
"Eight..."
"Nine..."
"Ten..."
When she counted to ten, she paused.
Only after setting down the wine bottle did her languid voice echo in the room again:
"Ready or not..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman stood up from her chair, holding her wine glass.
She took a sip of her drink, walked to a wall nearby, and muttered something to herself:
Are you ready?
There is a target on the wall.
A dart pins a photograph to the bullseye.
If Guangyou were here, he would recognize him at a glance.
The photo pinned to the center of the bullseye is none other than Ai Haibara, wearing a white lab coat...
No, it would be more appropriate to say that Shiho Miyano would be wearing a white lab coat.
There is a cross drawn with a black marker at the top of this photo.
She took the darts and the photo down together and said softly:
“Here le”.
"I'm coming to find you."
Holding the photo of her pinned down by a dart, she sat back down in her chair.
Then, she picked up a lighter and pointed it at a corner of the photo.
With a crisp "snap," the photo began to burn.
She propped her face up with one hand, gripped the end of a dart in the other, and stared coldly at the burning photograph, saying:
I see you.
"finally..."
"I've found you."
The flames illuminated the woman's cheeks.
Who else could this woman be but Vermouth?
After saying these words, Vermouth curled her lips into a cold laugh.
...
The next morning, Kōyū got up early to prepare breakfast for Ai.
Her condition has improved, but she has not fully recovered.
So, Guangyou still planned to cook some porridge for her.
But this time it won't be egg porridge; we'll have to try something different.
After leaving half for Professor Agasa and Conan, Kousuke took the other half to the basement.
Ai was already awake when he got up.
When Guangyou came in, she put the book aside.
During the meal, Guangyou suddenly remembered something he hadn't done yet.
He had to go to Sohei Izumi's office to retrieve those cassette tapes.
This was something I had promised Elena Miyano in my dream before, and later I also promised Akemi.
That time, because I had agreed with Ai to go back early, I didn't do anything.
Consider it as scouting beforehand.
So he said to Ai:
