Zongman: Starting as a Prop Master

His tense nerves relaxed, and Nohara Hiroshi suddenly smelled the rich fragrance that filled the room.

The refreshing fragrance made him close his eyes involuntarily and take a deep breath with his nose tilted upward.

"Sniff, it smells so good, Misae, did you make anything delicious today?"

Hearing this, Nohara Misae puffed out her chest with pride and said with a smile:

"To reward Xiaoyi today, Xiaoai and I prepared his favorite hot pot. Xiaoyi also bought a lot of high-end ingredients. Honey, you have a good meal tonight."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Hiroshi immediately became interested, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to go to the kitchen.

"Really? If that's the case, I'm going to have a nice drink tonight."

Chapter 38: Huihara Ai's Confession

"Dad, let me tell you, today I..."

Shin-chan, held in Nohara Hiroshi's arms, shared today's interesting events with him while dancing with joy.

On the side, Nohara Misae was accompanying the father and son lovingly, with a happy smile on her face that never stopped.

Haibara Ai looked at the warm backs of the family of three, and her steps stopped for some reason.

Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling of loneliness surged in my heart.

At this moment, Nohara Meiya, who noticed that she had not caught up, suddenly stopped and stretched out her hand to her with a smile.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong? Hurry up and catch up!"

Nohara Hiroshi also let go of Shin-chan,

"That's right, Ai-chan, now you're the only one missing."

Xiaoxin, who was being led by Nohara Hiroshi, shook his head and said:

"Yes, yes, you are too rude, Ai."

"Pfft!"

With a smile, Huiyuan Ai preached to Xiaoxin: "Xiaoxin, what you want to say is that you are too polite."

Xiao Xin turned around embarrassedly, touching his head shyly and said:

“Hey, there is also such a saying.”

“There is no such saying.”

After being interrupted by Shin-chan, the feeling of loneliness that had just surged up in Haibara Ai's heart completely dissipated.

"coming!"

After responding, Haibara Ai took two quick steps with a light step and shook the big hand that Nohara Misae extended to her.

In this way, Nohara Hiroshi held Shin-chan's hand, and Nohara Misae held Huihara Ai's hand.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the house together.

At the dinner table, when Nohara Hiroshi saw the dazzling array of ingredients, his eyes widened.

"This is premium wagyu beef, this is sirloin lamb, this is puffer fish, this is oron, my god, you guys are exaggerating."

"Sniff! Sniff!"

The moment he saw the broth, he finally found the source of the rich fragrance in the air.

“This is Matsutake.”

Seeing the mushroom slices floating in the soup, Nohara Hiroshi suddenly shouted exaggeratedly.

"Misae, you guys are so extravagant, using matsutake mushrooms to make soup."

"Shouldn't matsutake be roasted and eaten with soy sauce, or made into matsutake rice? You are really wasting it."

Nohara Hiroshi yelled in frustration.

After glaring at Nohara Hiroshi, Nohara Misae said to Huihara Ai: "Xiao Ai, please help me wake up Xiaoyi. It's time for dinner."

As soon as Ichinosuke, who was half asleep, arrived at the dining room, he immediately smiled the same smile as Nohara Hiroshi and swallowed his saliva desperately.

"I'm starting!" X4

"I'm full!" X1

In the lively atmosphere, Xiaoxin's painting style is always so novel.

The plump Wagyu beef is dipped in the rich shank bone soup for fifteen seconds and then coated with a layer of sterile egg liquid. The tender and smooth beef and the thick and sticky egg liquid burst together in your mouth.

The wonderful taste makes people eat a big bowl of rice in one breath.

The puffer fish slices, as thin as a cicada's wing, can be cooked in just ten seconds when placed in boiling soup.

Just add a little bit of grapefruit vinegar, the delicious taste will spread in your mouth immediately, making you unable to put your chopsticks down.

Tender lamb, plump crab legs, chewy squid legs, thick abalone meat...

Refreshing chrysanthemum, stimulating mint, spicy and stimulating, with a little sweetness from the green pepper...

It was an extremely luxurious dinner, and the four members of the Nohara family had bloated stomachs and sat slumped in their chairs in a completely ungraceful manner.

Even Haibara Ai, the always calm and composed little girl, ate a lot. Now she was leaning against the back of a chair with difficulty, unable to get up.

After resting for half an hour after the meal, Nohara Misae, who was barely able to get up, began to clean up the leftovers with Haibara Ai (she felt embarrassed to watch Haibara Ai do it alone).

Everything was cleaned up and another half an hour had passed.

Nohara Misae and Haihara Ai each brought a cup of hot tea to Nohara Hiroshi and Ichinosuke respectively.

After the two of them sat down, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became heavy.

Take a look around,

With a bite of her teeth and a determined heart, Huiyuan Ai suddenly spoke:

"Uncle, aunt, and Xiaoyi, I have something I want to tell you."

After thinking for a while, Huiyuan Ai suddenly lowered her head and said to Xiaoxin who came over curiously:

"Xiao Xin, Xiao Yi and I bought you some bear biscuits. They are in the living room. Go eat them. The Superman TV show is about to start."

As soon as he heard about Bear Biscuits and Ultraman, Shin-chan suddenly lost all interest in paying attention to adults' affairs.

"Oh, Ai, you have such a big thigh."

Instead of getting angry like Nohara Misae, Haibara Ai patiently pointed out the problems in Shin-chan's words.

"Xiao Xin, what you want to say is that you are very generous, right?"

“That’s what I meant.”

After a quick response, Xiao Xin ran happily to the living room.

A moment later, the living room was filled with the devilish laughter of Shin-chan and Ultraman.

After sending Xiaoxin away,

In the restaurant, only the Nohara couple, Ichinosuke, and Haibara Ai were left.

I keenly noticed something.

Nohara Hiroshi's expression became solemn. "Xiao Ai, it's okay. If there is anything, just tell us. If we can help, our family will do our best to help you."

Even though they had been together for less than three days, he had already fallen in love with this sensible, obedient and well-behaved girl.

"Isn't that right, Misae, Xiaoyi."

While speaking, Nohara Hiroshi winked at the two of them frantically.

His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head, as if he was afraid that the mother and son would suddenly lose their minds and say something bad.

Nodding calmly, Nohara Misae also agreed and said,

"Yes, Ai, it's okay. Just speak up if you have anything to say."

After getting the approval of the two, Haibara Ai glanced at Ichinosuke calmly and saw that he also nodded.

Suddenly, her inner tension and anxiety dissipated a little.

After organizing her words, Haibara Ai began to tell her experience starting from her original name.

From the death of his parents to being accepted into the organization and then sent to study in the United States.

After returning from studying abroad, she was forced by the organization to take over her parents' research work.

Then it goes on to say that her sister Miyano Akemi was brutally killed by the organization in order to free her from the organization's control.

Then it goes on to say that she took poison in desperation, her body shrank and she escaped. She had nowhere to go, so she was wandering the streets and was picked up by Ichinosuke.

After explaining her origins, Haibara Ai silently sat back in her chair.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of the three people.

The petite figure looks increasingly frail.

Curled up into a small ball, he looked like a prisoner in the dock, awaiting sentencing.

For a long time,

In the silent living room, Huibara Ai lowered her head and smiled miserably.

The blue eyes dimmed.

Raising her head with difficulty, Huiyuan Ai forced a smile.

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry about it, I actually have a friend's house to go to."

Chapter 39 Official Move-in

Seeing Huibara Ai with a pale face and staggering.

Ichinosuke shook his head, guessing that she was overthinking.

At this moment, Haibara Ai is no longer the member of the young suicidal group who met Professor Agasa, the Three Idiots of Teitan, and experienced various major events.

In the original work, even after experiencing so much, her heart was still very lonely and fragile. Even when the organization just showed up, she immediately developed a twisted mentality that if she died, she would be free and no longer have to be afraid.
