Watanabe Toru snorted, "At this point, are you still going to hide it from me?"

Vermouth pursed her lips, her smile fading from her eyes. "A year ago, when I was on a mission in Country M, he saved me once."

"He saved you?"

“Yes,” Vermouth recalled, “I was seriously injured during that 767 mission. If he hadn’t saved me, I’m afraid I would have died…”

Watanabe Toru looked into her deep and bright eyes and sighed in his heart.

After all, he still hid Xiaolan's affairs. Was he afraid of me? Even though they were already in a frank relationship.

After a brief silence, Watanabe Toru spoke: "So you want to protect that detective boy?"

"Yes." Vermouth did not hide it.

Watanabe Toru sneered: "I'm afraid your kindness won't be appreciated, or even rejected."

Vermouth said indifferently: "I don't care what he thinks, I just do what I want to do."

"Oh, whatever you want."

Since Vermouth had her own ideas, Watanabe Toru would not stop her. He said calmly, "It's getting late. Please send me back."

"Go back?" Vermouth suddenly leaned close to Watanabe Toru's face, her small hand slid down, and her breath was as sweet as orchid: "It's time to hand in the grain."

……

hotel room.

Watanabe Toru breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time he and Vermouth come to a place like this (bhcj), he has to exchange an aptx-4869 antidote to do this. If one day he doesn't have enough points, the system will deprive him of this power. Just thinking about it makes him feel stressed.

Vermouth leaned lazily in his arms, and suddenly, she uttered a soft "Strange, it's been over an hour, why hasn't your body changed?"

Watanabe Toru lazily explained: "This is an improved antidote. It can last for an extra hour."

"Tsk, Shirley is quite good." Vermouth chuckled and said, "In this way, the development of a permanent antidote is just around the corner."

While talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Vermouth looked towards the door.

"Hello, your dinner is here..."

"But we didn't order dinner."

"It's this kind of guest. Our hotel is having an event today. All guests staying here will receive a free dinner."

Vermouth frowned imperceptibly and refused, "No thanks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

A cold voice came from outside: "No? Do you need to be so distant with me?"

Seeing the person coming, Vermouth's expression suddenly froze.

"It's you?"

"I didn't expect that."

The visitor was tall and dressed in formal attire, with the hem of her shirt tucked into her trousers. She had big silver wavy hair, and the most eye-catching thing was her rare pair of heterochromatic eyes.

Curacao sneered and glanced at the two people on the bed. After seeing Watanabe Toru, his face suddenly changed. A dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed at Vermouth.

Vermouth grabbed the thin blanket and wrapped herself in it. She rolled out of bed and dodged Curacao's attack. A look of amazement flashed across her pretty face. "I underestimated you, Curacao. I didn't expect you to find this place."

Curacao snorted coldly: "Shameless."

"Shameless?" Vermouth laughed instead of getting angry: "Love between a man and a woman, it's a matter of mutual consent. Ask Macallan if I forced him to do it."

Watanabe Tetsumu was like a fool. What was going on? Caught in bed with an adulterer? No, I was still single. This word didn't suit me.

Seeing Curacao looking towards him, Watanabe Toru pretended to be calm and said in a steady tone: "Curaçao, why are you here?"

Curacao bit his lip, his bright eyes filled with resentment and sadness. "McCallum, why didn't you contact me?"

"I..." Toru Watanabe glanced at Vermouth, who was standing aside with her arms folded, watching coldly.

Watanabe Toru sighed: "It's not that I don't contact you, it's that I can't."

"No?" Curacao stared and pointed at Vermouth: "Then why did you contact her?"

Watanabe Toru touched his nose and explained, "I didn't find her, she found me."

Seeing Curacao's face full of disbelief, Watanabe Toru felt a little overwhelmed.

He was unsure of Curacao's feelings for him, and wondered if he could trust her as much as he trusted Vermouth. Just as he was struggling with what to do, Vermouth said calmly, "He's right. I was the one who found him."

Curacao sneered.

Vermouth shrugged. "If you don't believe me, just wait here for half an hour. Seeing is believing, and you'll understand everything. Macallan's current situation is not as peaceful as you see it now."

Watanabe Toru coughed lightly.

Vermouth saw Watanabe Toru's concerns and snorted softly, "Although I hate this woman, a woman who is willing to sacrifice her life for you, I don't think she will harm you."

Give your life for me?

Toru Watanabe was shocked. Did Curacao have such deep feelings for him?

He looked at Curacao, whose delicate, fair face was as indifferent as when he first came in.

He asked curiously, "Curaçao, how did you find this place?"

Curacao glanced at Vermouth calmly: "I placed a tracker on her car."

Vermouth raised her eyebrows, snorted, and said sarcastically, "It's really hard for you."

No wonder I didn't feel like I was being followed. They had already installed a tracker, so there was no risk of being discovered.

204. Xiao Ai: Are you exposed?

Half an hour later, to Curacao's stunned gaze, Watanabe Toru returned to his childish appearance.

"What...what's going on?"

This scene was so shocking that Curacao opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

Watanabe Toru put on his clothes and pants and said calmly, "This is my current situation. Although I managed to escape from the organization, my body has turned into what it was like when I was seven or eight years old. Even if I can temporarily recover after taking the antidote, it will only last for two hours."

"When I first met Macallan, he was just a child," Vermouth continued. "But because I was suspicious, I secretly compared his fingerprints with Macallan's in the organization's database. After confirming that they were the same person, I revealed his identity."

Curacao took a deep breath. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that an adult could turn into a child. No wonder Vermouth didn't explain anything and just let her witness it herself.

Seeing Curacao's expression gradually soften, Watanabe Toru struck while the iron was hot: "Now I am a traitor to the organization. You will have no benefit if you stay with me. If Gin or other members of the organization find out, your fate will be the same as mine. Vermouth, I can't do anything, but at least I can guarantee your safety, Curacao. This is why I haven't contacted you."

Curacao pursed his lips, and after hearing Watanabe Toru's explanation, the resentment and anger in his heart disappeared.

Glancing at Vermouth, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Then why did you go to bed?"

"Well..." Watanabe Toru looked embarrassed.

Vermouth smiled and said, "Why not for those who have feelings for each other? If you were me, I don't believe you would let go of such an opportunity."

Curacao was speechless.

Watanabe Toru didn't want to dwell on this issue any further and took the initiative to change the subject: "Although the current situation is not what I want, since it is a fait accompli, Vermouth, Curacao, please remember not to arouse the organization's suspicion because of me and do not make me feel guilty, okay?"

Curacao nodded: "I understand."

After a pause, he added, "By the way, McAllen, I want your current contact information."

"it is good."

Toru Watanabe gave Curacao the contact information.

Vermouth on the side curled her lips. Although she was a little reluctant, she seemed to have no reason to stop it.

……

The next day.

Didan Primary School.

During the lunch break, Haibara asked Watanabe Toru to meet her at the back of the teaching building and stared at him with a serious and solemn expression.

"Don't you need an explanation?" she asked.

Watanabe Toru said: "Are you talking about my aunt?"

"You don't have an aunt at all."

"That's right, I don't have an aunt." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Then who is she? Why is she pretending to be your aunt?"

Watanabe Toru looked at Huibara's stern face with a half-smile: "She is Vermouth."

Belmode?

As if hearing something horrifying, Huiyuan's face turned pale in an instant, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his voice trembling: "You...you're exposed?"

Watanabe Toru shrugged: "In fact, Vermouth knew my identity before you escaped from the organization."

Huiyuan was stunned: "She didn't report you to the organization?"

Watanabe Toru raised the corner of his mouth: "There are many women in the organization who have a crush on me, isn't that what you said?"

Huiyuan was silent.

How could she have imagined that the famous Thousand-Faced Witch in the organization actually had a crush on McAllen.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked hesitantly, "That..."

Watanabe Toru knew what she wanted to ask and said, "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about you, and Vermouth didn't know you turned into a child."

Only then did Huiyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Watanabe Toru didn't know if Vermouth had discovered anything. If she could guess that Kudo Shinichi had shrunk, then Shirley could do the same. Perhaps yesterday's encounter had already made her suspicious of Haibara, but she didn't say anything, so Watanabe Toru pretended not to know.

Seeing Huiyuan's uneasy look, Watanabe Toru sighed in his heart and comforted her: "Even if your identity is exposed, I will protect you."

Huiyuan raised her pretty little face, looked at Watanabe Toru for a few seconds, then turned away and muttered softly, "Who needs your protection?"

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

……

The two returned to the classroom one after the other.

As soon as Watanabe Toru sat down, Ayumi came over and said to Watanabe Toru, "Tetsu, do you want to come to my house tonight?"

Watanabe Toru exclaimed, and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly invite me to your home?"

"Mom told her," Ayumi said in a sweet voice, "I told her that you got first place again in the monthly test. Mom is very happy too. She asked when you can come home and she will make you something delicious."

"That's it."

Watanabe Toru suddenly realized that he had been planning to announce the good news that he had won the prize to Mrs. Yoshida. Since she had taken the initiative to invite him, Watanabe Toru agreed. "Okay, let's do it tonight."

.... ... ....

"That's great." Ayumi said happily, "Then Xiao Che will stay at home tonight."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded.

……

After school, Toru Watanabe explained the situation to Xiaolan and followed Ayumi directly to her house.

Mrs. Yoshida had not returned yet, so Toru Watanabe and Ayumi were watching TV in the living room.

Six o'clock in the evening.

When Mrs. Yoshida arrived home, Toru Watanabe stood up and greeted her, "Auntie."

"Here comes Toru." Seeing Watanabe Toru, a smile appeared on Mrs. Yoshida's delicate face. "I heard from Ayumi that you won first place again in this monthly test. Congratulations."

Watanabe Toru scratched his head and said modestly: "It's just good luck."

Mrs. Yoshida smiled and said, "It might be luck once, but it's definitely not luck twice or three times. Ayumi, you should learn from Xiao Tetsu too."

"Yes~" Ayumi replied sweetly.

"Then you guys continue watching TV. I'll go cook first."
