He frowned and said in a low voice:
"If what I took really is the antidote, then I hope it's just a headache."
“I said it’s not certain.” Ai gave Kouyu a meaningful look. “It includes, but is not limited to, headaches, fainting, and abnormal heart rate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kōyū looked at Ai, and Ai looked at him back.
He still didn't believe it; he had never believed it in the first place.
Both of them knew this, so Ai didn't continue. She said to Kousuke:
"What I just gave you was just a regular vitamin capsule."
"You're really something, girl." Guangyou smiled helplessly.
"What's wrong with me?" Ai seemed a little dissatisfied.
"It's nothing," Guangyou shook his head in denial.
"That's a really familiar nickname." Ai pursed her lips, remembering what Kousuke had said earlier.
She hadn't heard Guangyou call her that nickname in a while.
The last time I called her that was when I attended a preview screening of the Kamen Rider movie at the cinema.
"If you want me to call you that, just say so." Kōyū saw through Ai's thoughts.
Ai, being the proud and aloof old lady, naturally pursed her lips and denied this claim:
"Who wants to hear you shout like that?"
Meanwhile, Kōyū, holding Ai, whispered:
"Of course, it's the person I'm holding who wants to hear this."
"Tch." Ai just pursed her lips, neither refuting nor being arrogant anymore.
Releasing his embrace, and pulling Ai to sit on the edge of the bed, Kōyū also sighed a few times:
"It's been a while since we've sat like this quietly."
"It'll be fine after this is over." Ai Haibara was very optimistic.
This idea allowed her to calm down and think seriously whenever her research hit a bottleneck and made no progress.
Although the two of them have spent less time together and interacted less frequently during this period due to various reasons.
However, the relationship was not affected.
Both of them are working hard to get along more easily in the future.
She needs to develop an antidote, and Guangyou also needs to strengthen his training to ensure he doesn't falter at crucial moments.
Even if there's less interaction, it's normal for feelings to grow stronger if they still care about each other.
and...
Let's talk about some things when the time comes.
It had been a while since they'd done this, but the two still hadn't been chatting much.
After exchanging a few casual words, Kōyū casually pulled Ai into his arms.
Ai also pressed her face against Kousuke's chest.
She closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Guangyou thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
After enjoying a moment of peace, Ai got up from Kousuke's arms and prepared to wash up.
After she left the room, Guangyou took out his phone again and sent a text message to the person who had called earlier to confirm the call once more.
Only after receiving a positive reply and seeing the photo that came with the text message did Guangyou feel relieved.
After washing up and returning to her room, Ai saw Kōyū sitting in her bed with a laptop in front of him.
Ai, now dressed in her pajamas, walked over to Kōyū's side, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked:
"See a movie?"
"Um."
Seeing Ai return to the room, Kōyū moved a little further inside to make room for her.
Then he asked:
"Is there a movie you'd like to watch?"
"Let me see." Ai casually lifted a corner of the blanket and sat down in bed. "Sit a little further in."
"Oh." Guangyou moved a little further inside.
"Alright." Ai also moved a little further inside.
Subsequently, she took on the role of director Guangyou in the film industry.
...
After watching the movie, it's about time to rest.
As soon as the movie ended, Guangyou wanted to go back to his bed.
But then he suddenly realized that he was sitting on the inside, against the wall.
If he wants to get down, he has to let Ai get up first and make room for her before he can go down.
Or you could lift the blanket and go around it.
But to be honest, given the current situation, how could Guangyou possibly choose between these two options?
He chose the third option—to stay here and not get up!
After closing her laptop and placing it aside, Ai lay down, seemingly oblivious to Kouyu beside her.
Seeing Ai's reaction, Kōyū was unsure of what she was thinking.
Opening her eyes, which she had just closed, and patting the empty seat beside her, Ai asked:
"What are you doing?"
Aren't you going to sleep?
"No." Guangyou was too embarrassed to explain.
Seeing Guangyou's hesitant manner, Ai Haibara spoke frankly:
"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
"What? You had ideas, and I gave you a chance, but now you're scared?"
"How could that be!" Upon hearing this, Guangyou immediately lay down. "I was just considering your feelings!"
"Hehe~" Ai laughed twice without any emotion.
"Ahem." Guangyou coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness.
The lights in the room had been turned off before the movie started.
The room was completely dark at that moment.
Suddenly, Kōyū called out to Ai:
"Ai..."
"What's wrong?" Ai turned to look at Kousuke and asked, "Can't you sleep? Do you want me to tell you a story?"
"I don't want to hear a story!" Guangyou bit his lip, looking somewhat conflicted.
In the end, he still said it:
