Shiho Miyano turned her face away and focused on brushing her teeth.

The toothbrush occasionally lifted her cheeks slightly, making them look a little rough.

Just as Chen Nuo was about to grab his toothbrush, Shiho Miyano suddenly widened her eyes and asked incredulously, "W-what are you doing?"

"What are you talking about? It's all so abrupt." Chen Nuo looked puzzled, then followed her gaze and looked down. "Oh, you mean this... You're also studying medicine, so you must be perfectly normal in the morning, right?"

"Stay away from me."

Shiho Miyano dodged to the side, as if afraid of being stabbed.

"Honestly, you said you really liked it before," Chen Nuo teased her on purpose.

"Damn it, when did I ever say such a thing?" Shiho Miyano raised her foot to kick Chen Nuo, but then thought that if they fought in this small space, she would be the one who would suffer in the end, so she gave up.

Chen Nuo also took out his dental kit and stood next to Shiho Miyano to brush his teeth.

As if in retaliation, Shiho Miyano deliberately swung her arms wildly while brushing her teeth, her elbows repeatedly "accidentally" hitting Chen Nuo.

Little did she know that this form of revenge would cause the toothbrush to lift her cheeks even more, making her look even more flushed.

However, Chen Nuo was not to be outdone; he deliberately splattered toothpaste foam everywhere.

Toothpaste splattered on the mirror, the pajamas, and even on Shiho Miyano's unmade-up face...

The irregular white embellishments, combined with the protrusions on Shirley's cheeks, give the impression that the two are filming an indecent movie.

Shiho Miyano quickly realized that something was wrong.

She glared at Chen Nuo, then ran out with a flushed face.

Chen Nuo gave her a peace sign as she watched her flustered retreating figure.

The first battle to end their romantic relationship was a complete victory.

.

After washing up, the two left the dojo.

The specific travel route is to first take a car to the port, and then take the 8:30 passenger ship to Mermaid Island.

To Chen Nuo's surprise, Shiho Miyano was wearing a sky-blue dress and delicate light makeup, which made her originally aloof temperament lean a little more towards that of a girl next door.

Chen Nuo and she sat side by side in the back seat of the taxi.

Shiho Miyano kept her gaze fixed on the window, sunlight streaming through the car window and falling on her delicate, upturned nose, making the area near the tip of her nose appear translucent.

It's like a fascinating piece of amber.

But she got into the car with a cold expression and didn't say a word.

Chen Nuo tried to ease the tension: "I thought you would go out wearing a white coat."

"I only dress like that normally because it's too much trouble. Wearing that kind of clothing on a trip would only draw more attention to me," Shiho Miyano explained calmly, her eyes fixed on the window.

The car radio played soothing music, and they weren't worried about their conversation being overheard by the driver.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Then why choose those patterned underwear? Surely no one will be able to see them, right?"

Shiho Miyano turned around, her icy blue pupils filled with intense killing intent, and her small fists trembled slightly.

Chen Nuo then realized that he had accidentally blurted out his true feelings: "Uh... I just said it casually."

"You came into my room in the middle of the night?" Shiho Miyano asked in an unfriendly tone.

"How could that be? I was here this morning... Hey, wait a minute!"

Shiho Miyano has launched an attack on Chen Nuo, who is struggling to defend himself and occasionally retaliates.

The two then began to wrestle in the back seat of the taxi.

The taxi driver watched the playful couple with a smile, and thought of his own daughter.

So he deliberately drove very slowly, letting Chen Nuo and the others make a fuss for a while longer.

As a result, Chen Nuo's arms were covered in bruises when he got out of the car.

Without looking back, Shiho Miyano boarded the passenger ship with her suitcase.

Because it happened to be a holiday, there were many tourists visiting Mermaid Island, and the boat was very lively.

It is said that the Dugong Festival was also held during these days, attracting many curious visitors.

Breakfast is provided for passengers on this morning ferry.

Although it was just simple seafood porridge and pickled vegetables, it tasted pretty good.

As soon as Chen Nuo boarded the ship, he left Shiho Miyano aside and plunged into the restaurant to feast.

But he had only taken a few bites when he received a text message from Shiho Miyano: "[Come over here, I've run into some trouble.]"

Chen Nuo frowned, put down his chopsticks, and walked towards the deck.

He had just stepped out of the ship's restaurant when someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind: "Hey handsome, wanna buy a Dugong Arrow?"

Chen Nuo turned around and saw a middle-aged man with short hair holding a box full of arrows.

However, the arrows in the box were all small, making them seem more like collectibles.

"Aren't there only three Dugong Arrows per year?" Chen Nuo asked, puzzled.

Kadowaki Benzo waved his hand and laughed, "Of course this isn't a real dugong arrow, but it was once enshrined in a shrine and has special effects."

Chen Nuo shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested."

Kadowaki Benzo stopped him: "I'll let you in on a secret. There are two really hot beauties on this ship right now."

Chen Nuo looked at him without saying a word.

When Kadowaki Benzo saw that Chen Nuo didn't follow up with his question, he smiled awkwardly.

Then he pulled two arrows out of the box: "These two are dugong arrows blessed with love. Using them to strike up a conversation will increase your success rate several times over. I think we're destined for each other, so I'll give you 5000 yuan for the two arrows."

Chen Nuo thought to himself, "Isn't the Dugong Arrow supposed to grant immortality?"

When did they start managing marriage as well?

But by then he probably understood what Shiho Miyano meant by sending him a text message.

Chen Nuo pushed aside Benzo's shoulder and walked towards the deck.

Sure enough, two circles of people surrounded the deck at the bow of the ship.

Shiho Miyano leaned on the railing, gazing at the distant island.

Her face was cold, and the wind blew her blue skirt, revealing glimpses of her snow-white thighs.

On the other side of the bow stood a girl dressed in casual sportswear and hot pants, her fair legs equally captivating, and a cute little horn sticking out from her long black hair, blowing crookedly in the wind.

Both of them were surrounded by people trying to strike up a conversation.

Some lingered and wouldn't leave, while others gave up after a few words, but new people quickly filled in.

Chen Nuo also noticed that a few guys were actually holding those miniature dugong arrows. But in conclusion, the effect wasn't as good as the salesman had claimed.

Chen Nuo parted the crowd and walked towards Shiho Miyano.

"Hey kid, don't you know what first come, first served?" one of the people whose seat had been taken by Chen Nuo shouted angrily.

“I’m a much older man than you. At your age, you’re still out picking up girls. Aren’t you afraid your son will see you?” Chen Nuo made the other woman look ashamed, then grabbed Miyano Shiho’s hand and pulled her out of the crowd.

Shiho Miyano glanced at his hand, frowned, but still didn't struggle.

The men who tried to pick them up were immediately dumbfounded.

However, seeing Chen Nuo's imposing manner, after hesitating for a moment, no one dared to say anything.

Kadowaki Benzo, who had followed Chen Nuo all the way, was also stunned: "So she's his girlfriend. No wonder. I should have tricked him into buying the Dugong Arrow that can make him rich."

Kadowaki Benzo scratched his head, somewhat annoyed.

Just then, another unicorn girl ran up to Chen Nuo.

"Chen Nuo, I didn't expect you to be planning to go to Mermaid Island too." Xiao Lan glanced at Shiho Miyano, maintaining a friendly distance from Chen Nuo.

She had already apologized to Shiho Miyano over the phone, but it was still a bit awkward to meet again.

After all, that night was in the Hatamoto family's luxury cruise ship room...

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Yes, I heard the seafood there is delicious and cheap."

Chen Nuo glanced around and saw Conan looking at him with resentment, but he didn't see Kogoro Mouri.

Xiaolan explained, "Dad went to chat up pretty women again."

Chen Nuo smiled but didn't say anything.

Shiho Miyano stared at Conan with the same look she gave a lab rat, making Conan feel uneasy, yet he couldn't remember why.

Chen Nuo asked and learned that Hattori Heiji had received a commission and had also invited Mouri Kogoro to come and investigate.

However, Chen Nuo felt that Hattori Heiji might have noticed something was wrong with Conan that day, and probably already suspected that Conan was Shinichi Kudo, so he wanted to use this method to test him out.

The group then stood at the bow of the boat and chatted casually.

Kadowaki Benzo was surprised that Chen Nuo knew both of the girls, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

He complained as he switched the arrows in his hand to those for seeking wealth—there was no other way; the only two pretty women on the boat were both surrounding the young man, and it would be ineffective to try and sell him the Dugong Arrows that brought him love blessings.

Just then, a fat man wearing glasses walked towards him, holding a newly bought dugong arrow in his hand.

"Boss, what style did he buy? Why did it attract two people?" the bespectacled fat man complained. "I want his style too, how much is it?"

Kadowaki Benzo thought to himself, "If I had it, I would have used it myself. Why would it be your turn?"

However, a mysterious smile appeared on his face as he pulled the other person along, saying, "Come this way, let's talk over here..."

.

Around noon, the passenger ship arrived at Mermaid Island.

After disembarking, Chen Nuo parted ways with Xiao Lan and the others.

Heiji Hattori helped Ran and the others book a hotel, saying he would wait for them there.

I watched Xiaolan and the others leave.

Chen Nuo turned to Shiho Miyano and asked, "Where is the hotel we booked? You kept me up so late last night, I want to go get some sleep first."
