The warm, soft sensation lingered on my cheek for only a moment.
When Kwang-woo finally came to his senses, only a trace of moisture remained on his cheeks, proving the reality of what had just happened.
After a moment of stunned silence, Kōyū looked at Ai standing in front of him and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Why did you launch a sneak attack, you little brat?"
"Do I need to ask you for permission beforehand?" Ai looked at Kōyū calmly, her tone indifferent.
But Kudo could clearly see that Ai's gaze would always drift to the sides, but it would soon return to him.
"No need." Guangyou smiled, then quickly wiped the smile off his face and said seriously, "Please increase the intensity!"
"Dream on." Ai rolled her eyes at Kōyū with a smile, her cool voice carrying a hint of arrogance.
"I'm just giving you a small reward because you've been behaving well these past two days."
Upon hearing this, Kōyū smiled at Ai again and tentatively asked a question.
"If I perform well in the future, can you increase the effort?"
"It depends on my mood." Ai neither refused nor agreed, glanced at the smiling Kousuke, and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I'm going to read a novel now."
After leaving those words, Ai turned and walked out of the kitchen.
Before she could take more than a few steps, Ai felt her hand being grabbed by Kousuke.
She turned around and asked Kwang-woo, who was holding her hand.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to..."
The moment she turned around, she felt a chill on her left cheek.
The same scene just happened again.
The difference is that the object has changed; it used to be Kousuke, but now it's Ai.
The positions have changed; Kousuke's cheek is on his right cheek, and Ai's cheek is on her left cheek.
The next second, Ai came to her senses and felt her cheeks getting slightly hot, but she tried her best to control her expression and prevent the corners of her mouth from turning up involuntarily.
Looking at Kōyū standing in front of her with a smile on his face, Ai recalled the scene from earlier and asked.
"Didn't you also launch a sneak attack?"
Kōyū originally wanted to say something else, but he suddenly remembered what had just happened, so he smiled and responded to Ai with the words Ai had said earlier.
"Do I need to ask you for permission beforehand?"
“Of course.” Ai’s response was completely different from Kou’s. After calming down a bit, she said seriously.
"I can choose not to apply, but you must apply."
"Is that so?" Kōyū met Ai's icy blue eyes, his smile vanished, and he made his application in a serious tone.
"Well... Ai, I'll apply now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ai interrupted him.
"Application rejected."
The moment she finished speaking, Ai's lips suddenly curled into a smile. Although it was subtle, Mitsuhiro saw it clearly.
"What a pity..."
That's what he said, but at this moment, Guangyou had a big smile on his face.
"Alright, go read your novel." Guangyou figured the ingredients in the pot were almost cooked, so he stopped cuddling with Ai.
"I'll call you when I'm done."
As he said this, Kōyū had a doting smile on his face and reached out to gently ruffle Ai's hair.
"good."
"Um."
After receiving Ai's response, Kousuke ruffled her hair again, then turned and walked to the stove to continue cooking udon noodles.
Ai didn't stay in the kitchen for long either. After glancing at Kouyu's busy figure, she smiled slightly.
He then turned and left the kitchen.
Shortly after Ai left, Kousuke heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Then, Kazuha and Ran's voices rang out from outside the kitchen.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"It should be Kwang-yu in the kitchen."
Another set of footsteps sounded.
After the footsteps stopped, Guangyou, preoccupied with the udon noodles in the pot, said something to Xiaolan and Kazuha who were standing at the door without turning his head.
"Sister Xiaolan, Sister Heye, you two go wash up, we'll be eating soon."
I chatted with Ai for a while. Some of the vegetables that cook easily were a little overcooked, but they were actually fine.
It has a unique flavor.
After spending a few days together, Kazuha roughly figured out Kōyū's temperament and didn't say anything like "We'll help you."
Instead, he thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Guangyou, these past few days."
"It's nothing." Guangyou didn't care about such a small matter. He waved his hand behind him and urged again, "I'm almost done here. You guys go and wash up quickly."
"Also, let Conan, Heiji, and Uncle go and wash up."
"Okay." Xiaolan replied and then left the kitchen doorway with He Ye, preparing to inform the other three.
After the two left, Guangyou started humming a tune again, and perhaps because of what had just happened, the tune was much more cheerful.
...
Soon, Guangyou served the udon noodles on the table.
"Eat it while it's hot," Guangyou said to the others, pinching his ear to relieve the burning sensation on his fingers.
"I'll go call Ai over here."
After Kōsuke said "Eat it while it's hot," Heiji Hattori said to Conan, "I'm going to start eating."
He picked up a mouthful of udon noodles, blew on it a couple of times, and then put it directly into his mouth.
They only ate breakfast and a bento box yesterday, and they're starving now.
I was thinking of just grabbing some instant noodles, but I was surprised to find that they also had udon noodles available.
