When Kōyū confessed his feelings to her earlier, he said he wasn't anything special, but Ai didn't think so.
Perhaps, in other people's eyes, Guangyou is nothing special.
But in her heart, Guangyou holds an irreplaceable place.
Hearing Ai say that, Kōyū was somewhat moved.
He held Ai in his arms and said softly:
"Ai, thank you for being there."
"You stole my lines again." Ai said helplessly, with a satisfied smile.
“That means we think alike, we’re a perfect match,” Guangyou said with a smile.
After pulling Ai to sit on the edge of the bed, Kōyū held her hand, and their eyes were drawn to the diamond ring on Ai's left ring finger.
After the initial excitement subsided, Ai gradually regained her composure.
That's just her personality, but this matter was so big that she couldn't calm down at all.
Looking at the diamond ring on her hand, which reflected a dazzling luster, Ai suddenly remembered something very important.
She tilted her head and asked Guangyou:
What will we do with this ring in the future?
The diamond ring on her hand was the perfect size; it fit snugly without being too tight or too loose.
If it happened to someone else, it would be a good thing.
But for Ai, it's not like that.
If she were to revert to being Shiho Miyano now, she wouldn't be able to wear this ring.
She didn't want this diamond ring, which was expensive both in terms of economic value and the additional value bestowed upon it by Guangyou, to become just an ornament in the future.
“I had already considered this issue,” Guangyou replied.
He had considered this issue long ago and made preparations accordingly.
This diamond ring was specially made by someone he asked Kaito Kuroba to help him find.
Customized products not only offer unique appearances but also fulfill the reasonable requirements put forward by the customer.
For example, an adjustable ring.
The mechanism for adjusting the size is hidden by utilizing the design of the diamond ring itself.
When needed, adjustments can be made within a certain range through this institution.
If it exceeds this range, you can also find a professional to modify the ring.
After telling Ai, Kousuke prepared to introduce the ring to her as well:
"The theme of this ring is 'time'."
"This 'time' has many layers of meaning. The first is that I met you at the right time."
"Secondly, it was through your transformation into Ai Haibara that I came to know you."
"I won't talk about the third one yet. Ai, take off your ring and take a look inside."
Upon hearing this, Ai reached out and took the diamond ring off her ring finger, raised her hand, and examined the inside of the ring under the light.
She discovered a clock pattern on the inside of the ring.
"clock?"
The theme of clocks and time also fits well.
But Ai doesn't know the third meaning behind the clock pattern.
After nodding in affirmation, Kōyū didn't keep Ai in suspense and continued to explain:
"If you look closely, you'll find that the hour and minute hands are shaped like people, and you might even find the initials of your and my names on them."
"One looks like a woman, and the other looks like a man."
Actually, at this point, Ai already understood part of the meaning of the pattern.
She listened attentively as Guangyou explained in a gentle voice:
"The minute hand represents me, and the hour hand represents you."
"The meaning of this clock pattern is that I will be by your side, holding your hand, and spending every minute and every second of the future with you."
"That sounds pretty good," Ai replied softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"That's not all," Kōyū said mysteriously to Ai. "Actually, there are two more small details in this pattern."
"What?" Ai asked, somewhat curious.
"I won't talk about these two," Guangyou said, keeping everyone in suspense. "I'll leave them to you. You can observe them yourself later and see if you can find them."
He leaned in and kissed Ai's cheek, then said:
Consider this a small task I'm giving you.
"The questions aren't difficult. One detail is easy to spot, but the other might require you to use some knowledge you've learned before."
"It has nothing to do with biochemistry; it's something else, something related to me."
"There's no time limit, as long as you can find it."
These words made Ai's eyes look more puzzled and curious.
Her gaze swept across the clock face, but she found nothing.
"Is this related to you?" Ai looked up at Kousuke, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Um."
After nodding in confirmation, Kōyū stood up, picked up the box from the ground, and said to Ai:
"You don't need to rush the search, take your time."
"This ring is now yours, and you can look at it whenever you want."
Thinking she would watch it again before going to bed that night, Ai nodded and hummed in response.
After handing the box to Ai, Kousuke thought for a moment and decided to return to the agency.
Before he could even move, Ai asked him a question:
"By the way, I was just about to ask, what does 'M&H' mean on this box?"
"Didn't you figure it out?" Guangyou smiled, and this time he didn't keep him in suspense, revealing the answer directly.
"That's your name!"
“'M' represents Miyano, and 'H' represents Haibara.”
“You should know the '&' symbol. It comes from the Latin word 'et', which is 'and' in English.”
"This is a logical language, which logically indicates that both are indispensable."
“'Shiho Miyano' and 'Ai Haibara' are both you, just different identities. To me, neither of them can be missing.”
