After a while, Kōyū heard Ai's voice.
"Um..."
A few seconds later, Ai's eyelashes trembled slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
When Ai woke up, the first thing she saw was Kyou looking down at her.
She used to feel shy and blush because of this, and she would pretend to be asleep because of her shyness.
Although she is still a little embarrassed, she can now face it calmly.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice soft and slightly languid, and greeted Guangyou.
"Good morning, Guangyou."
"Good morning, Miss!" Guangyou greeted her with a smile.
Feeling that their hands were still clasped, Ai felt pretty good.
She joked:
"Young Miss?"
"Is this how you take care of the young lady?"
As she spoke, she raised their clasped hands and waved them in front of Guangyou.
“Yes, it’s about taking care of her personally!” After saying that, Kōyū hugged Ai tightly with a little more force.
"You're really something." Ai rolled her eyes at Kousuke.
"Hehehe..." Guangyou laughed to brush it off.
Ai didn't seem to care about that; she asked Kousuke:
"What time is it now?"
Because Guangyou was holding me, I could only turn to the side to look at the clock on the opposite wall to check the time.
Adding to her personal considerations, she asked Guangyou to check the time for her.
"It's still early." Guangyou checked the time and then said, "Lie down a little longer."
"You want to hug me a little longer, right?" Ai once again exposed Kousuke's lie.
Guangyou, shameless as ever, agreed.
He nodded, admitting it:
"yes."
"Tsk." Ai curled her lip, seemingly disdainful.
"Um..." Kōyū suddenly spoke up for Ai Haibara, remembering last night, "Ai, don't you feel like something's missing?"
"What?" Ai asked, then realized what Kousuke was talking about.
"Why do you think about these things all day long?" Ai looked at Kousuke with disdain.
"Isn't it normal for me to have these kinds of thoughts about my girlfriend?" Guangyou replied matter-of-factly.
He also said:
"After all, my girlfriend is not only cute, but also understanding, well-educated, knowledgeable, a great cook, and even capable of developing medicine..."
"I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to meet my girlfriend in this one."
“...”
Everyone loves to hear praise.
The reason I don't like to hear this is simply because there are some things I can't compromise on just because someone praises me.
Or perhaps the praise wasn't quite right, or it wasn't appropriate.
Or perhaps it's simply because the person is wrong.
It's important who praises you.
Just like Ai, she doesn't feel anything when others say that to her, and even feels it's hypocritical, but when Kōyū praises her like that, she can't help but feel happy inside.
On the surface, nothing seemed amiss; everything appeared calm.
But my heart was already filled with sweetness.
Her eyes held a hint of helplessness towards Guangyou, while a smile played on her lips.
...
At this moment, Shiyou was still praising Ai:
"Having such a great girlfriend, it's perfectly normal and reasonable to have these thoughts... um..."
The next second, he saw Ai lean in, and then his lips were covered by something warm and soft.
With every breath he took, he could smell the fragrance emanating from Ai.
Unlike last night's fleeting "goodnight kiss" from Guangyou, this morning's "good morning kiss" lasted a bit longer.
The two continued for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Ai, like a frightened little animal, took a step back.
"It seems there's still a long way to go!" Guangyou said with some regret.
Just now, he "tested" Ai again.
But the moment I touched it, and felt that soft warmth directly, it turned into what it is now.
"Kuangyou, what you just did..." Ai suppressed her embarrassment and deliberately spoke with a cold face.
This is not the first time Guangyou has "tested the waters".
He forgot what he had said last time.
Anyway, this time he gave a very honest explanation:
"I was just wondering if we could take things a step further."
It's normal to have such thoughts, and Ai understands, so she didn't pursue the matter of Kousuke "testing" her.
"I'm not ready yet." Ai pursed her lips and said, "Give me a little more time."
Upon hearing this, Guangyou was taken aback.
He then said to Ai with a heavy heart:
"This time it was my fault, don't take it to heart."
"If you can't accept it, then you can't accept it. I didn't like you because of these things."
It's normal to have these thoughts about your girlfriend, but it's based on her consent; he won't force her to accept it.
He likes Ai Haibara.
He likes both her appearance, which is obvious at a glance, and her inner self, which requires careful understanding.
And things like hugging and kissing...
If we were to describe it in terms of cuisine, these would merely be seasonings for preparing the dish of "couples' life," which requires a long time to cook.
Even without these condiments, Kōyū would still feel happy when he's with Ai.
Originally, Kōyū said these things to tell Ai not to take them too seriously.
These things wouldn't affect his feelings for her.
But to Kōyū's surprise, Ai immediately said something after he finished speaking:
"You said it yourself."
