The phrase "You don't miss your sister either..." would probably be very effective when used on Shirley.

Who knows, Shiho Miyano might become the one kneeling on the floor, struggling with the agonizing choice of whether to eat or not.

But the look Gin gave him just now made Chen Nuo a little uneasy.

He had a feeling that the "experiment progress" that Gin asked about was very likely related to him.

Therefore, Chen Nuo was unsure whether Shiho Miyano's sudden decision to pull him into the bedroom to play this strange game was a test of him.

If Sherry in this timeline is a completely evil woman, then he'll be in trouble.

Considering the strange medicine in the refrigerator and the diary left by the original owner, this possibility is quite high.

However, these are all his own conjectures, and it will take time to verify them.

The only thing Chen Nuo can do now is to focus on the test in front of him and not make any different reactions or choices than the original owner.

Don't let her see through your disguise.

When people are highly focused, they enter a state similar to "flow," which greatly enhances their observational abilities.

In a state of flow, Chen Nuo noticed a detail in addition to observing that Shiho Miyano's feet were very beautiful.

That was her hand supporting her on the edge of the bed, crumpling the sheet into a ball.

Was she nervous too?

In other words, they probably hadn't had this level of contact before?

After considering this possibility, Chen Nuo immediately put it into the test.

Chen Nuo gently supported her feet.

Her soft, smooth little feet trembled slightly like a frightened animal, her delicate toes instinctively curling up and scratching lightly against his palm.

The correct option immediately appeared before Chen Nuo's eyes.

"Stop fooling around, there's a limit to jokes." Chen Nuo slapped her little foot away and looked at her unhappily.

Shiho Miyano: "But I can't prescribe medication if I don't understand your physical condition."

That's great! I wouldn't eat something that looks dangerous, Chen Nuo thought.

"There's no need to try at all. I feel nothing for that kind of thing," Chen Nuoyi said righteously.

"Then why are you staring at my feet?"

"It's just your imagination."

"really?"

“Of course.” Chen Nuo stood up from the ground. “Alright, stop fooling around. I’m hungry. Go cook some food.”

Shiho Miyano seemed a little suspicious, but didn't say anything. Chen Nuo had a feeling that she also seemed relieved.

The two arrived at the living room one after the other.

"Did you feel a strong sense of satisfaction just now?" Shiho Miyano asked seriously as she tied her apron.

"How could that be?!" Chen Nuo stared at her speechlessly.

"Really?" Shiho Miyano tilted her head like a primary school student. "But from a biological point of view, the expression on your face just now seemed quite pleasant, somewhat like a male lion that has found a suitable breeding partner."

"Because I find every part of you attractive," Chen Nuo said.

Did you learn biology from vodka? You wretched woman! Chen Nuo thought to himself.

However, this sentence seemed to have a good effect. After hearing it, Shiho Miyano's cheeks flushed slightly, and she went to the stove to continue frying fish.

The aroma of food soon filled the quiet dojo.

Chen Nuo sat on the sofa watching TV, enjoying the treatment of the head of the household—if it weren't for the medicine in the refrigerator.

The television was broadcasting a news report about the art museum murder case, with Inspector Megure solemnly recounting the details of the case to the camera.

"Of course, the fact that we were able to solve this case so quickly is thanks to the help of a kind-hearted citizen," Inspector Megure said.

The reporter asked, "Is it Mr. Kogoro Mouri again?"

"Uh, this..."

The camera then cuts to Kogoro Mouri, who is chatting up a pretty lady at the entrance of the art museum.

Inspector Megure: "Mr. Mori also provided us with a lot of help this time, but the case was solved by another old... another kind citizen."

Is he your friend?

Inspector Megure patted his chest: "That's right, we've been working together for a long time."

Chen Nuo clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Inspector Megure, with your personality, why haven't you been promoted yet?"

After the news coverage of the art museum ended, the television began broadcasting entertainment news.

[The Greatest Night Festival in the World is coming soon! You'll see the words "Number One Under Heaven" burning on the mountain, and besides that...]

The female host, in a sweet broadcasting voice, narrated about the world's greatest night festival.

Chen Nuo immediately thought of a case related to this festival.

"It seems to be a festival where fires are lit on a mountain to form characters, praying for a good harvest, right?" Shiho Miyano said while stirring the ingredients in the pot.

"Yes, it should be."

"I really want to go see it," she said, looking at him like an ordinary girl yearning for romance.

"If you have time, you can come with me," Chen Nuo said, but in his heart he was thinking, "Please, please don't agree, please don't agree."

Just as Shiho Miyano was about to say something, her phone, which was placed next to her white coat, rang. It was a text message.

She wiped her hands on her apron, walked over, and picked up her phone.

Upon seeing the text message, Shiho Miyano immediately broke into a sweet smile.

"Another batch of materials arrived at the lab that needs processing. I promised to go on a date with you this weekend, but it might have to wait until next time," she said regretfully after hanging up her phone.

Suppressing his inner elation, Chen Nuo comforted him, "It's alright."

Shiho Miyano gave a "You're so kind" look, then tapped her slender fingers on the phone's keypad.

【Let's go check out the World's Greatest Night Festival this time.】—She replied to her sister, Akemi Miyano, with a text message.

Chen Nuo, of course, didn't see the text message. He was focused on studying the festival and wondering if he could go and join in the fun, and maybe even capture another soul to mine for him at the mine.

dong dong——

There was a knock at the door.

Shiho Miyano, holding a soup spoon, turned back and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Chen Nuo got up and walked to the entrance hall, where he found traces of spilled milk on the floor near the door. He guessed that Shiho Miyano hadn't noticed this spot when she was cleaning.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a gust of wind rushed in.

A strand of soft, jet-black hair was swept by the wind and brushed past his lips, the faint scent of shampoo wafting into his nostrils.

After the wind stopped.

That soft strand of hair gently fell back onto the girl's full chest.

Chen Nuo then got a clear look at the person in front of him—a familiar sweatshirt, familiar long white legs, and unfamiliar sneakers and white socks.

The soft horns on its head swayed back and forth in the wind.

"You... how did you find me here?"

Ran Mouri sneered, "Of course I'm here to get my shoes back, and to teach a lesson to that untrustworthy guy while I'm at it."

"Um...actually..." Chen Nuo was thinking about how to fool her away.

"Darling, who's here?" Shiho Miyano's cool voice came from the kitchen.

Chapter 5: My Girlfriend's Tragic Love Triangle with Someone Else's Childhood Sweetheart

As soon as Chen Nuo heard Shiho Miyano's voice, he knew things were going to get bad.

Sure enough, Ran Mouri's expression was much colder than before, and her little hands were clenched into fists.

"Who is it?" she asked calmly.

Chen Nuo felt that if he told Xiao Lan the truth directly, she wouldn't believe him, and he also felt bad about dragging her into the vortex of the Black Organization.

So Chen Nuo decided to fool her away first, and then figure out a way to explain things clearly.

Chen Nuo lowered his voice and said, "She is the subject of my investigation. I haven't been able to find any evidence of her crime, so I just happened to call her here today to talk about some things."

"Is she a woman?" Xiaolan frowned. "And why did she call you darling?"

"She called him Daimon-kun, you misheard," Chen Nuo said without batting an eye. "Besides, the other person is a very ugly and wicked woman."

Xiao Lan nodded, seemingly relaxing her guard.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo continued to persuade him, "Leave here first, and I'll contact you after I've finished dealing with things here."

He didn't think too much at the time; he just wanted to get rid of Ran Mouri first and deal with the rest later.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan was very stubborn in this regard, and no matter how Chen Nuo tried to persuade her, she refused to leave.

"You've lied to me so many times already, I won't let you get away this time." Ran Mouri said, as if she were an abandoned puppy that had finally found its owner.

Having no other choice, Chen Nuo had to compromise, saying, "Then I'll go and calm her down first. You stay here and don't move."

Ran Mouri nodded obediently.

Chen Nuo returned to the living room and saw Shiho Miyano still cooking at the stove. There was curry soup simmering in the pot, and she was stirring it constantly with the ladle in her hand.

"Who is it?" she asked.

Chen Nuo: "A reporter from the TV station wants to interview me about the murder that happened at the art museum this afternoon."

Chen Nuo had just briefly told her about her experience at the art museum.

Shiho Miyano: "Reject them. It's best if the organization's members don't appear on television too often."

"I think I'd better go, lest she keep bothering me and accidentally notice who we are, which would be troublesome," Chen Nuo said.

Shiho Miyano thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then be careful."
