Chapter 768 I Accept Your Apology
Liu Qingyao revealed her crescent-shaped eyes, reached out and took the black cat from his hands, patted its head and looked up at Behefinger, "There are freshly made red bean mochi in the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Behringer's eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped up and happily skipped to the kitchen.
"Be careful, or I won't be responsible if you fall," Liu Qingyao said, sounding slightly exasperated.
Okay~
After petting the black cat, Liu Qingyao finally got up to help.
He held a mug of mochi in one hand and supported Behringer with the other, saying reproachfully, "That's why you're always getting hurt; you're such a hassle."
Behrfinger glanced at him, put one hand on his hip, and retorted defiantly, "In that case, you should have just gone and helped me get it from the beginning!"
"Tui! You were the one who jumped up the moment you heard that! Don't you even consider your own situation!"
The two glared at each other and started arguing.
Ai Haibara looked at them speechlessly.
They look like two little kids, probably not even ten years old combined.
Qianzhu calmly sipped her tea, then smiled and said gently in a soft voice, "If you keep making noise, I'll kick you all out."
The argument stopped abruptly.
"Ah, alright, alright, come and eat some mochi." Liu Qingyao smiled brightly, released Behefinger without hesitation, placed a large portion of mochi on the table, and then sat down on the sofa.
Bechfenger: (_)
The atmosphere was... quite harmonious.
If we ignore Liu Qingyao and Behefinger, who have been secretly opposing us all along.
"I'm completely satisfied." Behringer slumped in a corner of the sofa, even snatching a cushion from Liu Qingyao to make himself more comfortable.
Seeing the two glaring at each other, Chizuru exchanged a helpless glance with Ai Haibara, sighed softly, and said with a touch of emotion, "Perhaps things are going to get lively these days."
"Eh, it certainly looks like it," Ai Haibara responded, a faint smile curving her lips.
This kind of leisurely yet lively daily life is really easy to make people feel happy.
While lying comfortably, Behringer suddenly felt something in the crevice of the sofa, and he immediately sat up and rummaged through it.
Then, from the crevice, they pulled out a small black plush bear doll that looked a bit flattened...
Behrfinger: "..."
After a resounding silence, he suddenly let out a loud bang.
"Aaaaaah!! My—little—bear—!"
The three men's eyes immediately fell on him, and they saw his teary-eyed, tear-streaked, sobbing expression.
Bei: Hey, you don't need so many adjectives, do you?
Qianzhu's gaze fell on the teddy bear in his hand, and she tilted her head in confusion. "Eh?"
Ai Haibara also looked at the little bear and blinked.
Speaking of which, when I first met Behringer, he cried for a little while because the little bear was missing.
"He's become flat, sob sob..."
Behrfinger was utterly devastated.
He rolled his eyes, slumped back onto the sofa, held the teddy bear in his hands and rested it on his stomach, muttering, "I'm so heartbroken."
"......"
Liu Qing gave a half-moon glare and retorted, "If this thing is so important to you, why did you forget it here?"
“It disappeared some time ago, it’s not that I forgot, oh.” Behefinger lay peacefully, not even opening his eyes, and answered with a soft sob.
"Huh? But didn't you put a locator in the teddy bear?" Ai Haibara put down her teacup and asked in confusion.
"That's right, but when I found it was missing, I tried to find it using the locator, but the locator suddenly stopped working. And then I was so busy that I forgot it was lost."
After speaking, Behffiner was quiet for a while, then turned around and buried her face in the cushion, and began to sob.
“But…” Qianzhu recalled slightly, “I remember that this plush bear was brought by Bai… by Kurosawa. He was holding it in his hand at the time, and I didn’t see it again. I thought he put the bear in his bag.”
"What!?" Behefinger immediately sat up straight, staring at Qianzhu with red-rimmed eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Qianzhu glanced at him, took a tissue and wiped away the tears on his face. "I remember it this way, that's right."
Behfinger blinked, and another tear slid down her cheek, which Qianzhu wiped away.
Liu Qingyao stared at the little bear and slowly frowned. "That little bear seems a bit strange. Its body is flat, that's true, but its head is still round."
Behringer paused in his hand holding the teddy bear, looked down at the bear in his hand, and then slowly unzipped it.
Under the watchful eyes of the other three, he pulled a... fluffy ball out of the bear's head?
Ai Haibara's heart, which had been pounding with tension, finally relaxed: "..."
It was terrifying! I thought there were cameras or something inside.
Behrfinger stared at the fluffy ball for a moment, then squeezed it.
"This is a material that doesn't deform easily, and there's nothing inside." Behringer breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the plush ball back into the bear's head, and then looked at Liu Qingyao with her crescent-shaped eyes, "You can scare someone to death, okay?"
Liu Qingyao shrugged. "This is just a reasonable suspicion, and it's very likely that this thing was deliberately left behind by that silver-haired little boy. It's always good to be cautious, isn't it?"
Bechfenger paused, then had to admit he was right, "That's true..."
He pursed his lips, then bent down and restored the teddy bear's flattened body to its original shape.
"But seeing how much you cherish it, this teddy bear must have been a gift from someone else, right?" Liu Qingyao asked casually, crossing her legs.
Behringer paused abruptly, then continued arranging the cotton, responding with a muffled "Mm."
"...They gave this to me together, but..."
His voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
Liu Qingyao immediately sat up straight. "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad."
"Oh, then I'll accept your apology."
Behringer pulled the zipper back up, shook the teddy bear which had returned to its round and plump state, put it into the cloak, and then responded with his hands on his hips and a haughty expression.
Liu Qingyao: "......"
He looked at Behringer speechlessly, while the other man returned a harmless smile.
