Ai took it, sipped it, and said, "No!"
Clearly, this "no" is a response to Guangyou's "Then I'd better not tease you anymore, lest you pinch me."
Realizing this, Guangyou stopped feeling pain and felt quite happy, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
He was wondering just now how Ai could take it so easily.
So Ai Haibara had this trick up her sleeve.
However, it still feels pretty good.
Actually, Ai didn't use much force; it just came too suddenly. He was enjoying a gentle massage when he was suddenly pinched.
Ai rubbed my forehead for about ten seconds, and for about three of those seconds I was genuinely frowning, but the rest of the time it was just Kousuke doing it on purpose.
However, he also found a balance.
Given enough time, Ai will notice.
After all, Ai knew how much force she used.
He took a bite of the one in his hand, feeling the sweetness spread in his mouth and heart, but he sighed on the surface.
"I get pinched whether I tease you or not, it's so hard..."
Knowing that this was all an act by Kousuke, Ai felt no guilt whatsoever. She pursed her lips, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Heh~"
She simply chuckled softly, offering no direct response.
Seeing the smile on Ai's face and noticing that her steps had become lighter, Kōyū didn't care whether he would be pinched or not, and instead laughed sincerely.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.
The group walked under the shade of the trees, with Xiao Lan and He Ye at the front slowing down from time to time to look at the flowers planted along the roadside.
Flowers of all colors are emitting fragrance.
Another gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers swept by, and Xiaolan and Heye couldn't help but exclaim, "These flowers smell so good!"
Only Heiji Hattori and Conan didn't notice the fragrance of the flowers.
Meanwhile, Kōyū and Ai would turn their attention to the flowers by the roadside.
The two followed Xiaolan and the others for a while longer.
"I'm done eating." Ai said to Kōyū while holding a skewer in her hand, glancing around but not finding a trash can.
Actually, Ai was eating relatively slowly; Ran and Kazuha had already finished eating long ago, and they had disposed of the skewers on the way.
However, there is someone slower than Ai, namely Kousuke.
It's not greasy at all; the flavor is quite mild, not overly sweet. He was just looking at Ai and forgot to eat.
He still had more than half left in his hand.
Kōyū actually prefers watching Ai eat to eating himself.
After thinking for a moment, Kōyū handed the food to Ai and asked, "Ai, I feel like I can't eat anymore."
"I just can't do anything with you..." Ai said with a hint of disdain for Kōyū, as she took the item and then smiled and sipped her lips.
After taking a bite, she reached out and handed the skewer to Guangyou.
"We'll throw them all away later."
"Um."
Taking the skewer, Kōyū glanced at the road ahead, then turned to look at Ai munching on food, and smiled silently.
This feels so good.
The two walked a little further, and the thing in Ai's hand got smaller.
"Ai, how about we make a deal? Next time I tease you, you won't pinch me."
In fact, Kōyū didn't mind Ai pinching him; in fact, he quite liked it when Ai gently rubbed the pinched area afterward.
But I still have to say it.
"Just for the sake of this one."
Ai took a sip, glanced at Kousuke, then shook her head slightly and said, "No."
She said this with a slight smile on her lips, though it was faint, it did not escape Guangyou's eyes. She clearly wanted to see his reaction after hearing her words.
"Then be gentler?" Guangyou asked with a smile, not caring about such things.
"This is fine." Ai hadn't used much force when she twisted it, so Kouyu's words were pointless.
"Besides me, has anyone else ever twisted your tongue?" Ai took a sip and suddenly turned to ask Kōyū.
"No." Kōyū vaguely guessed what Ai was about to say and inwardly marveled at Ai's territorial instincts.
He didn't reveal a thing on the surface and spoke the truth directly.
"Besides you, there's no one else, and only you dare to pinch me like this."
"I thought so too." Ai had already known that Kousuke would answer like that, but now that she heard the answer she wanted to hear, the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.
However, she quickly suppressed that smile.
"That spot is the same size as your shoulder." Ai didn't explain it very clearly, which was also due to her personality.
Ai will say many things in a way that makes Kousuke understand what she means, but she won't say them very directly.
The same applies to this statement.
Upon hearing this, Guangyou understood what she meant; she simply wanted to say, "Only I can twist it."
As for "like your shoulder," it refers to what Kwang-woo said to her that time: "My shoulder is your private territory."
"I won't use force," Ai added.
"You wouldn't bear to part with it either," Kōyū teased Ai with a smile.
"Hmm..." Ai responded in a very low voice, and then stopped talking, sipping her drink as before.
After hearing Ai's response, Kousuke smiled and didn't say anything more. He took Ai's hand and followed behind Ran.
"We'll be there in a few more minutes," Xiaolan said to the others after stopping, looking at the map, and comparing it with their current location.
After greeting everyone, Ran and Kazuha continued to lead the way, while Heiji Hattori and Conan followed behind.
At the very back of the line are always Kyou and Ai.
This makes it easier for the two of them to talk.
Even the biggest things eventually run out of food, let alone Ai Haibara, who only had half left.
After sipping for several minutes, Ai had almost finished eating.
"The last bite." Ai glanced at the food she was almost finished with, but instead of eating it herself, she put it in front of Kōyū's mouth.
Knowing what Ai meant by doing this, Kousuke wouldn't say something like, "You can have the last bite."
Just open your mouth and put it in.
In the blink of an eye, it had melted, and the sweet taste filled the mouth. Guangyou suddenly clicked his tongue in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Ai asked after hearing this.
"I feel like this is sweeter than the previous ones." Kōyū stopped his deliberately posing and smiled at Ai.
Not knowing how to respond, Ai didn't reply at all, but she felt good after hearing those words.
So Ai hooked her little finger and gently tickled Kouyu's palm.
She not only scratched Guangyou's palm, but also his heart.
