Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

"Didn't I tell you?" Jia Chen's pale red eyes held a hint of a smile.

"A little girl from an anime?" Ai Haibara was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"Hmm." Jia Chen's voice was calm. "She's a bit sharp-tongued at times, but a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside ice queen."

"Hmph." Ai Haibara tilted her delicate, snow-white neck back and said with her eyes closed, "You actually like lolis, you really are a pervert."

Jia Chen: "......"

The tsundere loli Ai...

Chapter Fifteen: Quite Cute (Seeking flowers and monthly tickets.)

Jia Chen looked at her quietly.

Her face was as white as jade, her small earlobes were slightly red, and there was a faint dark circle under her eyes, which was particularly noticeable.

He reached out and pinched Ai Haibara's cheek; it was smooth, delicate, and soft.

"What... are you doing?" Ai Haibara blushed instantly after feeling Gatsu's hand.

Feeling the close proximity and that sense of security...

She quickly moved Jia Chen's hand away.

Aside from her own sister, she had never had such close contact with anyone else...

"I'll pinch your cheek," Jia Chen said.

Ai Haibara: "......"

Their icy blue and pale red eyes met for a moment...

quiet...

"I...I feel much better now." Ai Haibara suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, broke the silence, and said in a slightly cold tone.

"Hmph..." Jia Chen found it somewhat amusing to look at Ai Haibara's shy appearance.

You laughed?

Ai Haibara stared wide-eyed at the smile on Gatsu's face, utterly disbelieving...

From the moment she met Jia Chen, Ai Haibara noticed something.

Jia Chen rarely smiles... except when the two first met.

She even believed that the medication affected his mood during their other interactions.

But now he's smiling again...

"What are you laughing at?" Ai Haibara asked coldly, realizing what was happening.

Looking at Ai Haibara, whose face was flushed and who had a cold expression, Jia Chen thought, "She's just too cute."

"It's nothing." Jia Chen rubbed his cheeks. "Are you still hungry? Come to my house and I'll cook you something delicious."

Ai Haibara: "......"

It gives off a vibe of a villain kidnapping a little girl.

“No need, I’m going back,” Ai Haibara said, her icy blue eyes fixed on the scene for a moment. “I feel much better now.”

She was indeed in a much better mood, and a little deer was fluttering in her heart.

“Yes, we can heat up the pumpkin porridge when we get back. We don’t need the sandwich; we can eat it directly.” Jia Chen stood up and looked down at Ai Haibara.

She added, "Go to bed early, you have dark circles under your eyes, you look like a panda."

“That’s a really unique description,” Ai Haibara replied.

She felt a warm glow inside; she really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.

However... Jia Chen's concern gave her a strange feeling.

She couldn't explain exactly what was wrong.

"Oh, by the way," Ai Haibara looked up and said softly, "you...be careful lately."

It could be organizational negligence, or perhaps they simply didn't pay attention to a particular escaped experimental subject...

"Okay." Jia Chen nodded. "But I'm still very strong."

It seems Ai has also realized that Beika Town has never been peaceful.

After hearing what Jia Chen said, Ai Haibara rolled her eyes slightly.

If she were Sherry now... she'd probably say, 'Indeed... the strong ones all became researchers for the organization.'

Researchers = Researched = Experimental Subjects

However, perhaps she wouldn't say such a thing to Jia Chen...

Humph...

I never expected him to have such a childish side, and yet he's so strong—

A hint of a smile appeared in Ai Haibara's icy blue eyes, before quickly returning to her cool demeanor.

......

The next day...

Six o'clock in the morning...

Jia Chen's punctual biological clock woke him up from his bed...

His Observation Haki allowed him to hear Kaito Kuroba's soft snoring next door, though it was much quieter than the groans coming from the other neighbor.

"They're pretty good at having fun," Jia Chen remarked.

After getting up and washing up, I added weights and started my warm-up training.

"What are you going to do now?" Kaito Kuroba asked sleepily, leaning against the door and looking at Gatsuki. "Do you want to learn the art of disguise?"

He was still asleep, but the loud sounds of flesh colliding next door woke him up.

"We'll learn the art of disguise tonight." Jia Chen grabbed his collar, took off his shirt, revealing muscles like those of an ancient Greek sculpture. "Now we'll train."

“Oh…” Kaito Kuroba nodded, then complained, “Your apartment building is really weird, there are people fighting next door so early in the morning.”

Jia Chen: "......"

He did not reply to this question.

"Do you have a training plan?" Kaito Kuroba's eyes lit up as he looked at Gatsu's almost perfect streamlined body. "How do you train? Can you take me along?"

"One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, a ten-kilometer run, and one hundred squats every day," Jia Chen said after sizing up Kuroba Kaito.

"That simple?" Kaito Kuroba said with little interest. "You train like this every day?"

Such a training volume is nothing special for someone like him who studies science.

He can finish it in one go, and he runs ten kilometers every day...

When he was the Phantom Thief Kid, he ran more than ten kilometers every day.

“No.” Jia Chen put on the weights. “However, after training like this, you will become a superman once you reach a certain limit.”

Kaito Kuroba: "..."

That's probably just for kids...

This guy is starting to talk nonsense again. How could anyone become a superhuman just by doing this kind of training?

"But your training room is really peculiar." Kaito Kuroba looked around the training room.

In front of them was a row of movable machines, similar to ping-pong ball-serving machines, except they had launch tubes similar to Gatling guns.

"Yes, this is how they train to dodge bullets," Jia Chen explained.

"Dodge bullets?" Kaito Kuroba looked at Gatsuki with disbelief. "How can a person dodge bullets?"

He then added, "Try me out too."

"It will hurt a lot," Jia Chen warned.

These machines are high-rate-of-fire machines that he bought from a website a few days ago; their top speed can reach the speed of a bullet.

"How much pain could it possibly cause?" Kaito Kuroba gestured for Gatsu to turn on the machine. "After all, my sensitivity is quite high."

As a phantom thief, he would have been caught long ago if he weren't very perceptive.

Jia Chen nodded and turned on the machine...

As Kaito Kuroba screamed, the machine began launching spheres at an extremely high speed.

"what!!!"

"No, stop right now."

"It hurts so much!"
