Detective Conan: Is Miss Haibara planning to assault a police officer again today?

at some point.

She suddenly let down her guard, and her whole body completely relaxed.

"Nice to meet you, but I've liked you for a long time too."

Higashino Ning rested his chin on Miyano Shiho's head. "Speaking of which... the electricity you save tonight probably won't be enough for you to buy this set of pajamas, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano pinched his waist hard. "How many more nights of electricity bill do you want to save?"

"At least a month."

"Don't even think about it!"

"One week."

"I won't even consider it."

"Three days should be fine, right?"

"Just one night, that's all, time to sleep!"

Shiho Miyano took the initiative to find her place on the bed and even pulled over one of the pillows that Ning Higashino had stacked up not long ago.

That night.

The distinction between the two regions is clear, and not a single detail has been violated.

Chapter 188 The Feeling of Wanting to Get Closer to You

The next morning.

When Higashino Ning woke up, he was very moved and didn't dare to move.

The even and soft breathing around him made him unconsciously become cautious.

Before sleep, they are completely separate; upon waking, they are inseparable.

He was probably mistaken for Miss Panda by Shiho Miyano.

Being held and slept by a plus-size woman for the first time did not bring Higashino Ning much satisfaction, nor did it evoke any romantic thoughts or fantasies.

He feels mostly heartache now.

The psychological essence of clinging tightly to something while sleeping is a lack of security.

While the current version of Shiho Miyano appears strong and brave, her inner self...

"Sooner or later, I will make the driving force behind this embrace love instead of fear."

Higashino Ning whispered something and chose to sleep a little longer.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a series of soft "mmm" sounds pulled him back from the brink of falling asleep.

Get up, get up! Are you trying to strangle me?

Higashino Ning felt Miyano Shiho's forceful, venting stretch as he yawned, and his consciousness returned to full alertness.

In the next half second, Shiho Miyano realized that she wasn't holding Miss Panda.

The situation suddenly became a little awkward.

The two of them also chose not to move.

After a few breaths.

Higashino Ning took the initiative to speak, "Is it possible that I have to go to work later?"

"Is it possible that you're actually late?" Shiho Miyano's flushed face nestled in Ning Higashino's arm. "If I don't get up early, I usually don't wake up until after nine o'clock..."

what? !

Dongye Ning couldn't lie still any longer and hurriedly got up. "Being late will result in a deduction in performance bonus; a month's perfect attendance record is gone!"

"I need to get to the Metropolitan Police Department to report right away."

Shiho Miyano was also extremely nervous, "What?! My perfect attendance record for a month is gone?!"

How many nights of electricity would it take to make up for that!

She quickly grabbed her phone and checked the time.

"It's already 9:30..."

Upon hearing this, Higashino Ning, who was planning to get dressed at lightning speed, instantly lost her motivation.

What's the point of rushing?

Open up!

"Seriously, not a single person called to ask if I had died at home?"

Higashino Ningya grabbed his phone from under his pillow. There were no missed calls, not even from Takagi Wataru. It was ridiculous.

Oh...that makes sense.

Takagi Wataru should have already gone with Chiba Kazunobu to provide close protection for Mouri Ran today, so there's no need for him to go to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Higashino Ning looked at Miyano Shiho, who also looked at him with a look full of apology.

He sighed and smiled, "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Since no one called me, it means the Metropolitan Police Department has accepted that I'll be on field duty today, and they won't deduct my pay."

"Really?" Shiho Miyano was a little skeptical.

Higashino Ning nodded vigorously, "Really, and even if something goes wrong, I can just talk to my colleagues and say some nice things to them and it will all be over."

"I do have some connections, don't worry."

Shiho Miyano finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good... otherwise we would have lost a lot of money."

Even in her relaxed state, she remained beautiful, possessing a unique charm.

Maybe all beautiful women smell nice.

Once he returned to calm, Higashino Ning felt that there was a unique fragrance on Miyano Shiho that was drawing him closer.

"This feeling wasn't very obvious when I first woke up..." Higashino Ning muttered to herself.

However, because the distance was so close, Shiho Miyano heard it perfectly.

She looked somewhat confused. "What does it feel like?"

Dongye Ning unconsciously turned his face away and coughed twice. "It's nothing. You can sleep a little longer. I'll go prepare breakfast."

As he spoke, he got up to leave the bed.

But Shiho Miyano suddenly grabbed his wrist, her eyes looking quite determined, and said, "Tell me."

Ugh......

Higashino Ning grasped Miyano Shiho's wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"What does it feel like?"

"The feeling of wanting to be close to you."

"Incredibly intense."

"Miss, how do you plan to deal with this?"

Shiho Miyano looked up at the face so close to hers, and suddenly had an impulse to whisper something to herself.

"The antidote should be losing its effectiveness soon; theoretically, there are less than two hours left."

Higashino Ning's heart tightened. "Won't the process of turning back into a child be very painful? Does the antidote you made have any precautions to avoid that problem?"

Idiot...who wants to talk to you about this?

Shiho Miyano felt a warmth in her heart, and she increasingly felt that her impulse was not only well-founded but also perfectly justified.

She used her waist and hips to bring her eyes to the same level as Dongye Ning, and gently wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It hurts so much to become a child, and it hurts just as much to become Shiho Miyano."

"But... because of you, I don't seem so scared or worried anymore."

"I came to see you with anticipation and joy."

"Although I lack the courage to spend the night together, but..."

As she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes.

The wind outside the window suddenly picked up and pushed her forward two or three centimeters.

Lips and teeth touch and separate.

Higashino Ning instinctively supported Miyano Shiho's back.

A budding kiss may lack technique, but it carries far more emotion and excitement than a skilled kiss.

Nowadays.

The sun is still shining.

...

A few minutes later.

Shiho Miyano got out of bed with a flushed face and instructed, "You should go straight to work. There's no food left for breakfast at home. I'll go to the professor's place after I finish eating."

"Then in the afternoon I went to the detective agency with those kids. They said they wanted to protect Xiaolan, and I couldn't be absent."

Higashino Ning felt that Miyano Shiho probably didn't want him to see or hear about the process of shrinking.

He wasn't sure if his insistence on staying would make Shiho Miyano feel touched, embarrassed, or something else entirely.

Don't guess about things you don't understand; just explain them clearly.

Higashino Ning asked directly, "Are you sure you don't need me to stay by your side?"

Shiho Miyano sighed and smiled, "Really, there's no need. There's no danger here. I really don't want you to see my vulnerable and disheveled side right now."

"I've received enough love and care already, and I don't want to become a delicate flower in your heart that needs to be cherished wholeheartedly."

She paused, then looked deeply at Dongye Ning, "I'm also afraid that I'll slowly become a fool who only depends on you."
