Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

Haibara Ai, who was originally planning to turn around and leave after opening the door, couldn't help but stopped after seeing clearly Koji Shimizu at the door.

"What are you—?"

"new Year's gift."

? ?

Haiyuan Ai was a little confused, but looking at Qingshui Koji's calm and undistracted eyes, she hesitated and reached out to catch it.

Although it was a beautiful opaque handbag, Haihara Ai just took a look inside and already roughly knew what the gift was.

She is currently preparing to buy a newly launched Prada bag, and she seems to have two pieces of clothing.

When he turned around, Shimizu Koji had already walked in and was chatting with Dr. Agasa. He looked at the handbag in his hand and then at Shimizu Koji. Haibara Ai's ice-blue pupils were slightly condensed, quite puzzled.

She carried the bag, closed the door, and walked towards Shimizu Koji.

"Haoer, did you buy a New Year's gift for Xiao Ai?"

Dr. A Li's surprised tone was filled with relief.

Although Qingmizu Koji has always behaved well, he is actually quite worried that Qingmizu Koji is just hiding his inner thoughts. In fact, just like Conan, he has no intention of accepting Xiao Ai's existence.

"Yes. Tomorrow is the New Year. What Xiao Ai said last time reminded me of some past events. She should actually feel quite insecure here."

"She may still have not gotten over the shadow of losing her sister. I can probably understand some of her feelings, and I am sorry for some things."

The second sentence was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to be heard by Hui Yuan Ai, who was approaching them.

Sure enough, the clatter of footsteps paused for a moment, then he turned around and walked towards the sofa with his handbag in hand.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to coldly ask Shimizu Koji why later.

Dr. Ali thought for a while after hearing this. Although he didn't quite understand what Koji Shimizu said, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "Koji, I didn't expect you."

Koji Shimizu chuckled and shook his head. He knew that in the doctor's eyes he might have suddenly risen to a higher level.

But if Haibara Ai wasn't Akemi's sister, he wouldn't bother to care. At least, he wouldn't be willing to spend so much money.

Just like in love, it is difficult for a living person to defeat a dead person. Most of the time, feelings are the same.

As Mingmei's sleep grows longer, her image in Koji Shimizu's heart naturally continues to rise as her memory deepens.

Last time at Professor Hirota's house, when he last saw the flash of tears on Haibara Ai's face, Shimizu Koji thought for a long time whether to tell her about her sister.

But when I think about what might happen after talking about it - a cold little loli collapses and throws herself on the hospital bed crying and fussing, or she visits her every day without saying a word, there is a risk of exposure.

If she even watched her sister turn into a vegetative state, she might lose her last hope of living well.

Although Koji Qingmizu understood that these were all excuses, he was not qualified to decide whether Haibara Ai should meet her sister or not.

But he thought from Mingmei's perspective. As a sister, he must hope that her sister can live well in this world even without her.

"Thank you."

When Hui Yuan Ai walked into the kitchen bar again, she said a subtle thank you.

"Ok?"

Koji Shimizu, who was chatting with Dr. Ali, naturally didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Haibara Ai in confusion.

"Thank you."

This time, Huihara Ai did not act like she was rejecting others thousands of miles away like before, but instead repeated it clearly.

It's just that she still didn't look at Shimizu Koji, because just now Shimizu Koji said something verbose about apologizing. Although he might have wanted her to accept the gift with more peace of mind, she was afraid that she couldn't help it.

But Qingmizu Koji didn't know what Haihara Ai was thinking at this time, and the apology he said was actually referring to Mingmei's matter.

Therefore, at this time, he only felt that even Haihara Ai's bad and cold character would undergo some changes because of the gift.

Plan - pass?

Shimizu Koji nodded in agreement.

The rice is ready very quickly. It is a rare curry rice. You know, making curry at home is quite time-consuming and laborious.

Dr. A Li has never done this before. Even if he did, he would probably just buy curry ingredients from outside, and the difference would be huge.

Apart from anything else, the arrival of Xiao Ai made the two of them, a lonely old man and a single young man, have a qualitative leap in their dietary standards.

"Haha, Haoji, come and try it. This is my fried pork chop. It's a rare delicacy when paired with curry."

On the table, Dr. Agasa cut half of the large pork chop on the table and put it on Koji Shimizu's plate with a smile.

Shimizu Koji did not refuse, nodded and prepared to taste it.

But what neither of them noticed was that Haibara Ai, who was sitting next to Dr. Ali, had her eyes fixed on the pork chop.

"Kala——"

There was a crisp sound like the collision of chopsticks and ironware. Hearing the sound, Shimizu Koji looked up and saw the other half of the golden pork chop flying slowly towards his plate.

"Dr. Ali, starting from today, I think you need to pay attention to your dietary structure."

Xiao Ai's actions and her emotionless voice stunned both people at the table.

Dr. A Li opened his mouth. He was completely confused. He seemed to understand a little bit. But as soon as he understood a little, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He didn't want to be a starving man who understood.

"If your obesity continues, it will kill half of your life at any time. As a scientist, don't you understand?"

Haibara Ai's tone was still cold, but unexpectedly, she was indeed concerned about Dr. A Li's health.

But at first glance, it sounds like a feeling of coldness on the outside and heat on the inside, and a harsh feeling of caring about others for the first time.

"Ah, I, but, but."

Dr. Ren Ali's extremely clever mind would never have imagined that such a thing would happen.

His old eyes were watery, and he hesitated to speak. He looked pitifully at the golden pork chop on Koji Shimizu's plate.

But in order to prevent Xiao Ai's attempt to actively integrate with them from failing this time, Dr. A Li swallowed his saliva and finally did not persist.

However, he obviously subconsciously ignored a question, or in other words, a sentence

starting today.

Chapter 60 New Year’s red envelope with multiple meanings

Early the next morning, Shimizu Koji was woken up by the doorbell downstairs.

He went to bed very late last night. After all, it was a sudden New Year's Eve. After dinner at Dr. A Li's house, he helped to clean the house in a hurry.

Then, after cleaning Dr. A Li's house, Dr. A Li and Xiao Ai came over to help him clean the house. After that, I returned to Dr. A Li’s house and spent the whole night with the old man watching the Red and White Song Concert, Japan’s New Year’s Eve party.

Oh, speaking of which, the Japanese New Year actually refers to January 1st every year, which is very different from Shimizu Koji’s habit.

But as the Romans do, he takes these festivals very lightly. As long as they have a holiday, it is a good holiday. He has no worries and doesn't care about it for a long time.

"Haha~~, it's so early."

Listening to the doorbell ringing outside the window, Shimizu Koji yawned, got up, changed clothes, and washed briefly. It only took about three or four minutes before he went downstairs and opened the door to greet a group of people who came early in the morning. brat.

"Brother Hao Er, Happy New Year!"

One, two, three, four, five, five. Qingshui Koji dug into his pocket and took out five red envelopes.

Mitsuhiko, Yuan Taiyumi, and the other three were originally happy, but they were suddenly startled. Conan, who was following at the end, and Haibara Ai were also a little surprised.

"Eh? Brother Hao Er."

"Take it, am I not considered your senior?"

The three primary school students were still a little hesitant. After all, although they were not very smart now, they could still distinguish between seniors and elders. Before they came, they did not expect that Koji Shimizu would prepare red envelopes for them.

They simply came to pay New Year greetings.

However, Conan soon stepped forward and took the red envelope with a smile, "Arigado~!"

Shimizu Koji smiled slightly, touched his head lovingly, and patted him twice.

The red envelope is just for this guy who loves to pretend to be a brat. Conan is so smart, it's not in vain that he put in some effort.

Seeing that Conan stepped forward to accept it, the three little ones originally thought it was inappropriate, but now, who can resist the temptation of the big red envelope?

They all came forward and said "Arigado" to each one.

Finally, Huihara Ai was left.

"I don't need it."

"Besides, we have already lost a lot of time. If we don't leave again, we may not be able to make it in time."

The second sentence was to remind Conan and the young detective team.

"Ah, that's right!"

"It's already eight-thirty, we have to get there quickly!"

"Brother Shimizu, doctor, please take us to watch the Emperor's Cup final!"

Conan took out a ticket and handed it to Shimizu Koji.

Qingmizu Koji had known about this for a long time, so he naturally accepted it.

He was indeed interested, so he agreed to the doctor's request, because even though he had no feelings for football, in a few days, the Kanto Tournament of Kendo Competition would also be held at the National Arena in Shinjuku.

When the three children saw Koji Shimizu accept the tickets, they happily walked in front. Koji Qingmizu, Conan and Haibara Ai followed behind them.

Although it was only eight o'clock on the New Year's Eve street, it was already very lively.

The weather is cold, but many men, women and children are also wearing colorful kimonos to go out on the streets.

Walking onto a different street than before, there were many red decorations with different styles, but it did make Shimizu Koji feel some familiar festive atmosphere.

As Conan walked, he took out two red envelopes directly from his pocket, which were just given to him by Dr. Agasa and Koji Shimizu.

He didn't feel awkward at all. This was probably the only reality he was happy to accept after becoming a child.

"Let me take a look~~ It belongs to the doctor, oh ho ho ho! Twenty thousand yen!"

Conan grinned widely, and his unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of Koji Qingmizu and Ai Haihara.

Then, in the slightly smiling eyes of Koji Shimizu, Conan couldn't wait to open his red envelope.

After the red envelope was opened, Conan was stunned for a moment, fumbled, and took out another red envelope from the red envelope.

"Eh? This"

"I have carefully prepared a surprise, so be patient."

Qingshui Koji added with a smile. Haihara Ai glanced at him and then turned to look at Conan.

But Conan's enthusiasm suddenly dropped by half, and he said why Shimizu Koji's red envelope was so thick.

He thought this guy had taken the money he asked his father to buy gold coins from last time, so he kindly wrapped a big one for him.

Now it seems that it is indeed a big one.

Although he felt that Koji Shimizu might be playing tricks on him, his demeanor and tone did not seem to be fake, so Conan patiently continued to dismantle him.

One, another, and another, and soon, the red envelope that was originally as big as Conan's two hands turned into a red envelope that was only the size of three fingers.

Hui Yuan Ai watched silently, and no one noticed that there was a faint smile in her eyes.

Seeing Conan still opening the red envelope even though he was very discouraged, she thought for a moment and stretched out her hand to tug at the hem of Koji Shimizu's clothes.

Qingshui Koji lowered his head as if he was aware of it, and looked at the small white hand that Haiyuan Ai stretched out, and was stunned.

Although I was very surprised, I still understood what she meant.

Reach out and hold.

?

Hui Yuan Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, and for a moment, a faint blush caused by embarrassment bloomed on her fair cheeks like a thin plum blossom. It was very light, but very touching.

In less than three seconds, Shimizu Koji's hand was thrown away.

It was as if the little relationship that had been brought closer through gifts last night was gone at this moment.

The faint blush on Haiyuan Ai's face seemed to be caused by the cold weather, and her eyes were even colder, so cold that Koji Qingmizu couldn't even look directly at her.

She stopped playing riddles with Shimizu Koji, and directly reached out and took out the red envelope from Shimizu Koji's pocket.
