This wasn't Guangyou's first time visiting Mingmei Apartments.
He seemed very relaxed, as if he were at home.
Upon entering the room, Kōyū, carrying the bouquet of daisies, sat down on the sofa with Ai.
The apartment hadn't changed much since his last visit.
The only obvious thing is that Akemi has put away all the Girls' Day dolls.
Now that Girls' Day has passed for a while, it's normal for it to be put away.
It will be displayed again before the eve of next year's Girls' Day.
When Kōyū turned to look at Ai, he noticed that she was also looking at the spot where the dolls had been placed.
Seemingly recalling that scene, Ai sat on the sofa, gazing absently at the corner where Girls' Day dolls used to be displayed.
For both men and women, the first time is always the most memorable:
First time getting a perfect score, first time skipping class to go to an internet cafe, first time getting into a fight...
First love, first time holding hands, first hug, first kiss, first time...
The following content is not suitable for children.
However, that is indeed the case.
The first time I skipped class to go to an internet cafe, I felt a sense of sneakiness, fear of being discovered by the teacher, and it was very exciting.
But if you skip too many classes, that feeling fades away.
The same applies to Ai Haibara.
This was the first time someone had celebrated Daughter's Day with her, and it was also the first time she had ever celebrated Daughter's Day.
The scene was still vivid in her mind; it was as if those images would appear before her eyes if she closed them:
The boy who searched all over Tokyo’s cherry blossom groves for the Girls’ Day doll left by her parents, getting himself covered in mud and barely getting any rest all night.
That holiday meal that day.
And, the photos the three of them took back then.
Just then, Ai noticed a photograph appear in front of her.
This is the photo of the three of them taken in front of the Girls' Day dolls.
"Look at the photo. The plush toys have all been put away." Kōyū sat down on the sofa and handed the group photo to Ai.
He noticed Ai looking in that direction, so he went to Akemi and asked her for this photo.
Without asking how Kōyū knew she was thinking about that, Ai took the photo and recalled the scene through it.
Perhaps recalling the emotions she felt at that time, the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
She was looking at the photos, but Kwang-woo was looking at her.
He didn't do those things to move Ai Haibara.
My original intention was simply to give Ai a Girls' Day celebration.
Searching all the cherry blossom groves in Tokyo seems silly.
But actually...
That's really silly.
There are at least dozens of cherry blossom groves in Tokyo, with tens of thousands of cherry trees.
The difficulty is self-evident.
However, he still did it without hesitation.
He's pretty stupid.
However, everyone will be foolish enough to do something foolish once or twice in their life because of someone or something.
Even if this kind of foolishness will ultimately lead to nothing.
In retrospect, he was lucky.
Not only did he find the Girls' Day dolls that had been buried in the soil for many years, but he also gained one of the most precious treasures of his life.
His gaze lingered on the curve of Ai's lips, and he thought:
"It was worth it."
That's what he's thinking right now.
At this moment, Mingmei carried a tray to the sofa, placed the milk tea on the tray in front of the two of them, and then sat down herself.
Her gaze swept between the two of them, and she said with a smile:
"You two should drink your milk tea while it's hot."
Only after hearing Akemi's voice did Kōyū turn his gaze away.
There wasn't a trace of embarrassment on his face that he had been discovered.
Akemi already knew about his relationship with Ai, but she just watched, so she didn't feel embarrassed or awkward.
With a natural expression, Guangyou picked up the still steaming milk tea from the table, blew on it to cool it down a little, and then took a small sip.
He was immediately somewhat surprised:
"Mingmei, this milk tea is so delicious! It's the best milk tea I've ever had."
This statement is not an exaggeration at all.
Perhaps it's because he doesn't drink much milk tea, but this cup of milk tea is definitely the best he's ever had.
There is no other.
It has a rich milky aroma and a mellow tea flavor.
"As long as it tastes good." Mingmei also took a small sip of milk tea and said with some pride, "This is my exclusive recipe, you can't get it anywhere else."
"Mmm, it's delicious," Guangyou said after taking another sip.
Hearing the praise, Akemi's bright eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaned back on the soft sofa, saying contentedly:
"When I have nothing to do at home, I think about these things."
"I'll make you some snacks this afternoon."
"Then I'll wait for Akemi's dessert."
After saying something with a smile, Guangyou's gaze fell on the bunch of daisies on the table, and he realized that he hadn't given the flowers away yet.
He picked up the bunch of daisies from the table, presented them to Akemi, and said:
"Here, Mingmei, these flowers are for you."
Even though she had seen the bunch of daisies long ago, Akemi was still pleasantly surprised when she heard Guangyou's words.
She took the flowers and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Guangyou."
Then, Kōyū said to Akemi:
"The flower language of daisies is 'innocence, peace, hope, and pure beauty'."
"I hope that you, Mingmei, can not be affected by external things, retain a bit of innocence in your personality, and have hope for the future."
"Keep your pure beauty."
Born into darkness, yet yearning for light in their hearts.
I have no sentimental thoughts; I just want to protect the people I love.
