Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Did I use too much force just now, and did Ai Haibara break down a bit?

This is all disjointed. But... this condition is probably heatstroke.

"Brother Jiachen, what's wrong with Ai?" Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, who had just finished swimming, asked when they saw this.

“She has heatstroke, I’ll take her to a hotel to cool her down,” Jia Chen said.

"Shall we go together?" Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki asked with some concern.

"No need for that, it's just a simple case of heatstroke." Jia Chen shook his head, reached out, picked up Princess Haibara Ai, and walked towards the inn.

Looking at Kazutsugu's retreating figure, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but sigh, "Kazutsu-nii is really gentle, especially towards Ai."

Ran Mouri nodded... her eyes seemed to reveal her worry for Ai.

"How about it, Ran? Brother Jiachen may seem cold, but he's actually very caring and gentle. Isn't that great?" Sonoko Suzuki whispered in Ran Mouri's ear.

Ran Mouri nodded subconsciously, then, realizing what she meant, looked at Sonoko Suzuki with a flushed face and asked, "Sonoko, what are you talking about?"

"Yeah, Sonoko-neechan." Conan's sense of crisis surged, and he immediately said sarcastically, "No way, no way, knowing that Ran-chan already has Shinichi-kun, she still did this, it really makes her seem like a homewrecker."

"What do you know, you brat!" Sonoko Suzuki reached out and smacked Conan on the head. "I've heard everything, didn't Shinichi Kudo cheat on his wife?"

"No way!!!" Conan shouted.

"Shut up, brat!" Sonoko Suzuki reached out and punched Conan again.

Conan was on the verge of tears... He had now identified Kid as the prime suspect in his role as himself.

Next time I see Kaito Kid, I have to ask him about it.

If it really is him...

Conan's lenses emitted irregular reflections of white light.

"No..." Ran Mouri shook her head. "When I called Shinichi last time, he said he was still abroad. I guess someone was impersonating him, since Shinichi is quite famous."

"Hmph, Ran, let me tell you, Shinichi's behavior is clearly that of a scumbag," Sonoko Suzuki said with a look of disgust. "I guess I misjudged him!"

Conan: "..."

Shinichi Kudo's reputation has been damaged, and he is now considering whether to grow into his adult form or pursue Ran Mouri as Conan.

····Requesting flowers·····

"I still believe in Shinichi," Ran Mouri said with a smile.

After hearing Ran Mouri's words, Conan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly...

Inside the hotel, Jia Chen carried Ai Haibara to the bed.

Go to the washroom, wet a towel, wring it out, and place it on Ai Haibara's forehead.

"I...I'm fine," Ai Haibara said weakly.

Jia Chen stared at Ai Haibara...

He seemed to have never seen such a delicate little Shirley before.

"No, something's wrong." Jia Chen took a glass of warm water from the side and handed it to Ai Haibara, as if afraid that she was dizzy and scared. He said, "Drink this warm water and you'll feel better after a nap. There's no need to be afraid. I'll stay with you."

I'll always be with you... I'll always be with you... I'll always be with you.

Ai Haibara stared blankly at Gatsuki with her icy blue eyes, those words echoing in her mind.

My slightly dizzy mind suddenly recalled what Jia Chen had said about the person he liked...

Putting it all together, it's her, yes, it must be her.

I met Jia Chen in the lab... solely because of my own good deed.

After he shrunk, even though he knew the organization was extremely terrifying, Jia Chen, who had barely escaped, still saved him without hesitation.

When she was sad and heartbroken, it was like a ray of sunshine shining into her heart.

He joined the organization for his own purposes and risked danger to gather information about his sister.

She was very important to him.

In addition, given Jia Chen's personality, she's not good at expressing her feelings, resorting to such an ambiguous method...

But she saw through it...

Ai Haibara's heart raced a little as she looked up at Gatsuki.

Jia Chen: "...

He remained silent as he watched Ai Haibara staring at him with gentle eyes.

You'd better give me some feedback, or I'll take action...

I'm going to feed you water!

"Um... um..." Ai Haibara said incoherently, her face flushed, "I promise you, I promise you."

Her previously cute and innocent face suddenly turned incredibly shy.

P.S.: Please vote for me, dear reader...

Chapter Ninety-Three: He Has a Girlfriend, That's Too Much!

Seeing Ai Haibara's already slightly flushed face become even more shy...

Jia Chen remained silent for a while.

Is it really necessary to get so worked up over just drinking water?

"I just... wanted you to drink some water." Jia Chen looked at Ai Haibara and placed the water glass in front of her.

Drinking water...and...sleeping...sleeping with me?

Already confused, Ai Haibara misunderstood Gatsumi's meaning once again.

"Gachen...no way." The usually icy Ai Haibara blushed like a marshmallow, her heart pounding. "I'm still young...you really are a lolicon."

Jia Chen: "...

Seeing the hint of pink deep within Ai Haibara's icy blue eyes, Gachen already knew...

There's now a thick wall separating him and Ai Haibara.

The name of that wall is, 'I don't listen to what you say, I only listen to what I think.'

However, no matter how low Jia Chen's emotional intelligence is, he still understood what Haibara Ai meant.

"493" and judging from my own conversation just now...

Ai Haibara has mistaken her own words for a confession.

Too..

Jia Chen glanced at Ai Haibara, who was staring at him with somewhat dazed eyes.

Now... anything she says will probably be misunderstood.

"This..." Jia Chen's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment, even though he had clearly not done anything.

So you have a girlfriend just like that?

And... she's a girlfriend who's "shrunk".

Jia Chen sat silently in the chair, lost in thought... his gaze still somewhat cold.

Do you really like her?

When it comes to relationships...

He has always been very far away from me.

In my past life... my primary goal was always to survive.

Warmth can be intoxicating, coldness can sober you up, and complacency can prevent you from moving forward.

That's exactly what he did, and that's why he survived...

But now.

"Jiachen... I'm a little sleepy." After finishing her water, Ai Haibara lay on the bed, clutching her flushed cheeks to the blanket covering her face, her bright eyes fixed intently on Jiachen. "You can't leave me..."

"Okay." The coldness in Jia Chen's gaze was instantly pierced by Haibara Ai's gaze, turning into scattered fragments...

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara obediently lay down on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

Two hours later, Ai Haibara woke up and saw Gatsu sitting by the bedside, a happy smile on her delicate face.

"Are you feeling better..." Jia Chen reached out and took off the towel, touching Ai Haibara's delicate forehead, which was still a little hot.

"Hmm... I feel much better." Ai Haibara looked at Gatsuki with slightly unfocused eyes.

Feeling Ai's gaze, Jia Chen could only internally complain...

No... it's not completely healed yet.

"Then go change your clothes." Jia Chen glanced down at the time. "It's time for dinner now."

"Mmm..." Ai Haibara nodded obediently and said to Jia Chen in a soft, sweet voice, "Then turn around and don't peek, okay?"

"I understand..." Jia Chen turned around, looking indifferently at the mirror beside him.
