Conan watched Jia Chen's departing figure, his eyes flickering.
When did Haibara become like this?
Although she looks like a little girl now, she's still an 18-year-old girl at heart.
Just letting someone hold you like that, without any resistance or sarcastic remarks?
Could it be that... Jia Chen already knows Haibara's identity, and then the two of them got together and kept it a secret from me?
The idea was immediately rejected by Conan.
How could that be? After all, Haibara is his staunch ally.
Moreover, Jia Chen seems to hate evil as much as he wants. If he really knows, he will definitely tell me and then we'll team up to attack the winery.
There is only one possible outcome: Ai Haibara's older sister has passed away, and the sudden appearance of Gatsuki has taken her sister's place in her heart, thus creating a dependency.
"I can actually walk by myself..." Ai Haibara struggled slightly for a moment, then clung to Gatsu's neck like a koala.
"Hmm, your legs should be fine." After saying that, Jia Chen hesitated for a moment, stopped, and stared at Ai Haibara's smooth and delicate legs.
"Gachen... what are you looking at..." Ai Haibara felt a little uncomfortable under Gachen's gaze.
The key point is that Jia Chen was also eyeing his own thigh...
"It's nothing, I'm just checking you out, just in case there's a problem." Jia Chen reached out and touched Ai Haibara's thigh, pinching it. It was smooth and soft to the touch. Then he moved to her knee, calf, and ankle.
"Hmm~" Ai Haibara's previously calm and aloof expression instantly crumbled, her face turning slightly red. She could clearly feel a large, hot hand caressing her leg.
She turned to look at Jia Chen's serious expression and suddenly felt a little shy and embarrassed.
"Smooth and delicate, feels great." Jia Chen withdrew his hand and said truthfully, "Everything else is fine, but your legs are very weak. Did you think of something scary?"
Haibara Ai was extremely embarrassed by Gatatsu's words, her cheeks turning as red as apples. Without thinking, she opened her small mouth and bit Gatatsu's neck.
Jia Chen: "...
Feeling the slightly damp and a little painful sensation on his neck, he... kind of liked it?
"By the way, after we get back to Tokyo, move in with me on floor 2.7." Jia Chen looked down at the tea-haired loli who was nestled against his shoulder.
The current storyline has completely deviated, and my strength has also increased significantly...
Basically, I'm not afraid of any sudden accidents.
"Oh..." Ai Haibara responded blankly, her face slightly flushed.
Her little head was already filled with thoughts of living with Jia Chen... Should she sleep hugging Jia Chen? Or curl up in Jia Chen's arms? Or wrap her arms around Jia Chen's neck?
I can watch movies in Jia Chen's arms, and I can cook for Jia Chen every day...
With such excitement and shyness, we arrived at the Wawu Hotel before we knew it.
After entering the room.
Jia Chen wanted to take down a cute keychain, but then she discovered...
Ai Haibara was still tightly hugging her own neck, her delicate face flushed, lost in thought...

Chapter 104 If the World Doesn't Like You
"What are you thinking about, Ai?" Jia Chen asked.
After realizing what was happening, Ai Haibara looked down at the ground. "N-nothing... By the way, you need to buy me some equipment for the lab. I still want to grow bigger."
“Okay.” Jia Chen nodded. “If the antidote for aptx4869 is successfully developed, we’ll have Conan test it first. Don’t take it yourself; wait until it’s safe before taking it.”
After hearing this, Ai Haibara blinked. "I didn't expect you to be so indifferent to the safety of others, yet you call yourself a good person."
"I'm selfish," Jia Chen said expressionlessly, "I only care about you..."
Ai Haibara was stunned. Jia Chen's words struck her heart like a giant hammer, a hammer called happiness.
However... Ai Haibara was only thinking about being happy, with her emotions taking precedence, but her ideals, which were at a disadvantage, still reminded her... that the Black Organization still existed in this world.
Having grown up within the organization, she deeply understands how terrifying it can be.
That darkness that shrouds the world, the insane idea of turning back time.
Moreover, the high-ranking officials of various countries allow and support the organization's existence.
This makes the organization even more impenetrable.
As Ai Haibara looked at Gatsuki's profile, a warm feeling welled up inside her.
Although the time she spent with Jia Chen was short, it was enough for her to see the world.
The birds flying in the sky, the clouds floating in the air—things she used to find utterly boring—now, surprisingly, felt beautiful...
"The world is so gentle," Ai Haibara whispered, hugging Gatsuki.
Jia Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ai Haibara to say that.
Knowing the original plot, it would be perfectly natural for anyone else, whether it was Ran Mouri, Sonoko, or someone else, to say that line.
But Ai Haibara and Shiho Miyano are different. Her parents died when she was very young, she had almost no childhood, and she was monitored by the Black Organization and forced to study all the time.
Despite her cold exterior, she possesses a hidden kindness. She dislikes the environment of the Black Organization and thus seeks to escape.
Of course... many people from the previous life didn't understand why someone with a high salary, high returns, and safety would want to run away.
What do the lives and deaths of other people have to do with Shirley?
But it is precisely because of this that she possesses a unique and outstanding charm...
In his own view, the world is actually quite cruel.
This was an inevitable outcome.
“But…” Ai Haibara looked up at the horizon, her expression unusually calm, “the world seems to dislike me.”
As if a punch even heavier than Makoto Kyogoku's had struck his heart, Jia Chen was stunned by Ai Haibara's words.
Only at this moment did he truly understand Ai Haibara.
In his view, this tea-haired girl, despite having a doctorate and unparalleled talent, was naively foolish.
Just as shown in the previous plot, she attributed the ability of aptx4869 to cause invisible killings to herself, and believed that all the mistakes were hers.
I am the murderer...
This hazy innocence made Jia Chen feel a little sorry for her.
She never thinks "it's not me who's wrong, it's the world." In her mind, she always seems to think that it's not the world that's wrong, but herself.
But... silly girl, what did you do wrong? 3
Jia Chen's pale red gaze lost its calmness, replaced by tenderness. He pressed his cheek against Ai Haibara's cheek, feeling the girl's warmth... even though her face was currently dirty.
Sunlight streamed through the window, filling the room and seemingly silently conveying a burning passion...
"If the world doesn't like you, then the world is my enemy."
Jia Chen spoke in a calm tone, repeating words spoken by a protagonist from a novel from his past life. There was no gritted teeth or overt seriousness; it was as if he were recounting a trivial matter.
There were no chilling, mocking laughs from the devil around him... because he was serious.
He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could defy the entire world, but even a massive tide as vast as the world itself would have to pause before passing his cold, unyielding reef, wouldn't it?
Ai Haibara stood frozen in place, wanting to say something, but the intense emotions she felt made her too happy to speak. 6
"Gachen... I'm having trouble breathing," Ai Haibara whispered.
Jia Chen paused for a moment, then lowered his hand, and the two separated.
"Actually, I've caused you trouble..." Ai Haibara pursed her rosy lips.
Because of her own actions, Jia Chen didn't escape; instead, she joined the Black Organization.
Because she herself risked her life to inquire about her sister's whereabouts.
"I don't care." Jia Chen's originally cold temperament softened and became warm. He reached out and gently stroked Ai Haibara's brown hair with a warm smile. "Besides, there's no trouble at all."
"And, Ai, you know what?" Jia Chen's tall frame blocked the scorching sunlight; even the harshest rays seemed unable to penetrate his body. "When I was little, I often caused trouble for others because I wasn't good at talking, which always left a bad impression. Others always..."
"It means you don't like me."
“I’m lonely, but then I thought, so what does it matter?” Jia Chen continued, as a hot wind blew against the window. “In their eyes, they don’t care about these things. If I cared, I would become depressed.”
“I used to think the world was noisy, and all that suited me was endless coldness and bullets.” Jia Chen recalled his past life experiences, “I couldn’t see a warm tomorrow at all.”
"Then 503 is here..." Ai Haibara nestled in Gatatsu's arms, feeling the warmth of his chest, a warmth that seemed to melt away the ice and warm her heart.
"Later..." Jia Chen lowered his eyes and smiled. Later, he actually died and then traveled through time. "I experienced the raging waves of the sea, the towering mountains, and the vastness of the starry sky. I felt... the world is beautiful."
"These things possess unparalleled charm. To me, the world is like a magnificent and colorful painting, so incredibly rich and vibrant. It's laughable that I hadn't realized it before." Jia Chen continued, pausing as she fixed her gaze on a certain tea-haired girl, "...until I met you..."
Ai Haibara, nestled in Jia Chen's arms, brightened her eyes, as if reflecting the vastness and infinity of the sea and the starry sky. Her glass-like eyes grew brighter and brighter.
After a long while, the two separated, and Ai Haibara stood up, twirling her brown hair with her fingers.
"Do you want to take a shower?" Jia Chen asked.
"Hmm..." Ai Haibara blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips, and said, "Want to take a bath together?"
“Okay, this actually saves time.” Jia Chen answered the question seriously.
