Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

"I..." Ai Haibara's heart pounded, realizing she had lost her composure in front of Gatatsu. She suppressed her excitement. "I actually like him too..."

"Do you like pears?" Jia Chen said calmly, "But you can't eat pears now, you have to pay the bill first."

Ai Haibara: "......"

I think I misunderstood Jia Chen's meaning...

So shy...

Forced to calm down, I turned around and walked towards the other food sections...

To avoid Jia Chen realizing that something was wrong with her condition.

Jia Chen silently pushed the shopping cart behind Ai Haibara...

小哀 找熟⑻6@0>7+叁8^0]4<5> ....不对，是变小后的雪莉，又变色了。

ten minutes later...

The shopping cart was filled with beef, eggs, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Jia Chen pushed the shopping cart behind, while Miss Haibara picked out items from the list and placed them one by one into the shopping cart.

However, some shelves were too short for Haibara, so Kashin helped her carry them...

Ai Haibara was quite upset about this for a while...

However, these feelings vanished instantly upon seeing the dessert section.

Ai Haibara bought a lot of desserts...

Jia Chen wasn't particularly interested in desserts, but after glancing at the names of the desserts, her mood instantly changed.

Hokkaido Lover's Chocolate, Love Pudding, Lover's Heart Donuts...

“These are all for two people.” Jia Chen looked down at the items and suddenly blurted out, “Aren’t you eating alone?”

He's in a really bad mood right now!

Ai Haibara turned to look at Gatsuki, their ice-blue and pale red eyes meeting... then she pointed her index finger at Gatsuki.

Jia Chen looked behind him and saw that Ai Haibara was pointing at him.

“Actually…” Jia Chen paused for a moment, “I still really like sweets.”

Ai Haibara stared at Jia Chen with her bright eyes for a while, then looked at the desserts in the shopping cart... A playful smile appeared on her delicate face.

Jia Chen: "......."

What on earth is Ai Haibara imagining?!

After selecting the remaining items, Jia Chen and Ai Haibara lined up to pay...

"Checkout!" At that moment, a man dressed in a black jacket, completely bundled up, cut in line and went to the very front...

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I didn't know this was Beika Town!"

"Are you tired of living?!"

The guests behind shouted...

The man in black didn't speak, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his mask... as he reached into his pocket...

His eyes held a mocking glint as he looked at the guests behind him...

Even knowing this is Beika Town, you still dare to complain about me cutting in line...

Get ready to be robbed!

Everyone's pupils contracted when they saw what the man pulled out of his pocket...

Jia Chen silently watched the man in front of her, took the thermos from the man beside her, and weighed it in her hand...

Just as Jia Chen was weighing his options, he shouted loudly to the man in black beside him, "That's how Beika Town is, everyone..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a thermos flask flew at lightning speed and smashed into his face...

The immense force deformed the thermos, and the man in black fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground...

guest:"???"

Cashier: ???

what happened?

After realizing what was happening, everyone turned to look at the righteous young man...

Pale red eyes, a large black trench coat, and a sharp, icy profile... all combined with the fact that he had just dealt with the thug in an instant.

He looks like a man straight out of a comic book...

Many girls secretly harbored feelings of love for Jia Chen and wanted to drown him in their slightly salty and moist stream on the spot.

Only Ai Haibara stood calmly beside Gatsuki, seemingly used to this kind of thing...

Jia Chen had no idea what these people were thinking... He walked over to the cashier and paid...

He thought he needed to quickly find Koizumi Akako and ask her for the protection of the monsters for Ai Haibara.

There's a reason why the people of Gotham were called Millet Flower in their past lives.

.......

Jia Chen carried two large bags, while Ai Haibara carried two small bags as they returned to Professor Agasa's house...

"Gachi, thank you so much." Professor Agasa looked at the two large bags of things and scratched his head. "How much did it cost for all this stuff? I'll give it to you."

"No need." Jia Chen put the bag on the table and took off his coat. "Consider it a meal for the children."

"Thank you, Brother Jiachen!" the Junior Detectives said in unison.

Professor Agasa looked at the calm Kachin, touched his nose, and smiled...

Sure enough, despite her cold exterior, she's actually a kind person at heart.

"Still..." Kojima Genta ran over, just about to open the bag to see if there was anything delicious inside, but after seeing Jia Chen's indifferent gaze, he scratched his head and obediently said, "I haven't eaten Jia Chen's cooking yet, it must be delicious."

"We'll be able to eat it soon," Jia Chen replied, carrying the ingredients to the kitchen and pausing at the kitchen doorway.

At this point, Ai Haibara had already sorted the ingredients.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" Jia Chen walked to Ai Haibara's side and picked up the ingredients...

"No, this is a good opportunity to see how well you're learning." Ai Haibara washed the food. "I was just worried that your cooking would be unpalatable."

Jia Chen calmly looked at Ai Haibara...

Ai Haibara's face flushed slightly under his gaze...

"Is there something on my face?" Ai Haibara asked.

“Actually, you can just say it directly…” Jia Chen said, enunciating each word as if teaching a child, “I want to help.”

Ai Haibara's composed expression instantly crumbled...

She already felt she had lost her composure while she was at the supermarket.

She was thinking of maintaining a cool and aloof persona in front of Jia Chen.

As it turned out, Jia Chen directly exposed it...

That wretched Gachen!!!

"You...you're so long-winded." Ai Haibara haughtily snorted, "I'm not helping you anymore."

Jia Chen took out her phone and took a picture...

"What are you doing?" Ai Haibara was stunned.

"I'll use it as a screensaver," Jia Chen said honestly, adding, "It's very cute."

Ai Haibara: "......."

Chapter Fifty-Three: A Feast

"You..." Ai Haibara was about to ask Jia Chen to delete the picture, but after hesitating for a moment, she said coldly, "You really are a lolicon."

Then she ignored him... Jia Chen is not "cute" at all!

Taking photos of her is one thing, but to openly set them as your screensaver is another. What else is this but a lolicon?

However... Ai Haibara still stood aside to help.

She mainly wanted to see how Jia Chen cooked, and also to prevent him from cutting his finger... After all, Jia Chen was quite childish, and she was afraid he would cut his finger.

Yeah...that's it.

Ai, who was self-hypnotizing herself, stood on a small stool and helped hand out ingredients.

One hour later

Jia Chen, wearing a black apron, prepared to bring the food to the table...

As soon as I came out, I saw a group of people sitting around a table, quietly waiting with their cutlery in hand.
