Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Ai Haibara gave the order.

A golden retriever that was squatting next to a mobile phone booth not far away looked over at the sound.

It seems that the command "sniff" is a universal language in the pet world.

Moreover, the warm water seemed to read the envy and expectation in the golden retriever's eyes, indicating that its owner didn't usually like to play with it.

However, Wen Shui still grabbed Ai Haibara's wrist and said in a low voice, "Put your shoes on quickly, otherwise people will mistake us for perverts."

"Us? That word sounds so unfamiliar..." Ai Haibara tilted her head, looking completely bewildered.

She was clearly mocking Wen Shui and Vermouth's "spending the night together".

I don't know why Ai Haibara is so angry this time, that she would do something in a public place that would attract the attention of passersby.

It seems that Ai Haibara was clearly blinded by anger this time, and she was even willing to risk everything.

Although I don't quite understand it, I do know a little bit about the principle of not trying to reason with an angry woman.

In such situations, you either have to temporarily give in to her or directly and forcefully break her expectations.

Because Wen Shui has always been seen as a tough guy, he chose the latter.

Wen Shui stretched out his strong, powerful hand, grabbed Ai Haibara's ankle, and helped her put her high heels back on.

Ai Haibara's ankles were surprisingly slender and soft to the touch... (500 words omitted here)

When Wen Shui squatted down in front of Haibara Ai to help her put on her shoes, she did not do anything impolite such as "pressing her foot on his face" or "pressing down on the back of his head".

On the contrary, they were very cooperative.

Perhaps she was intimidated by his tough-guy aura? Wen Shui thought to herself.

However, while he was putting on the other shoe, the orange cat had just finished eating the biscuits on the ground. Seeing Wen Shui's actions, it suddenly pounced on him and tried to take over the right to use Ai Haibara's shoes.

Warm water: "Sizzle!"

The orange cat was intimidated by the warmth of the water and took a small step back.

When Wen Shui turned around again, he found Ai Haibara staring at him in shock: "You...you're actually possessive of your food?"

"I told you not to make jokes like that anymore," Wen Shui said, looking helpless. "Besides, didn't I say I would explain that matter clearly?"

Ai Haibara adopted an expression of an ice queen, crossing her arms: "Your past record makes it hard for me to believe what you're saying."

Wen Shui felt that she had been deeply misunderstood.

He decided to take advantage of Ai Haibara's shock later to prove his sexual orientation. Although the beautiful girl's legs were attractive, he liked the more beautiful parts.

At that moment, a group of girls wearing school uniforms from a nearby school passed by on the street where they were.

One of the girls saw Wen Shui squatting in front of Ai Haibara and covered her mouth in surprise, exclaiming, "Wow, is that man going to propose?"

Another girl said, "No, he was helping that older sister put on her shoes."

"Oh, I see." The girl looked regretful. "But they really have a good relationship. They actually showed their affection in front of so many people."

"You can also ask Cheng-jun to help you put it on."

"Ugh, I don't want Cheng-kun..."

The girls, radiating youthful energy, walked away laughing and joking.

Wen Shui sat down next to Ai Haibara again: "Look, everyone is praising our good relationship."

"If we were on good terms, I should have received your call first this morning," Ai Haibara said with a straight face.

Wen Shui: "That's because I wanted to tell you something important in person."

Wen Shui's serious attitude made Ai Haibara hesitate: "So what important thing did you talk about on the phone?"

Wen Shui glanced around out of the corner of her eye and noticed that many people had noticed the strange couple. It was clearly not a good time to talk about Vermouth.

But if we don't do something, the atmosphere will feel a bit strange after all this build-up.

So he picked up a cookie that had fallen onto the hem of Ai Haibara's skirt and said with a very serious expression:

"Ai, please marry..."

"Shut up!" Ai Haibara stood up in a panic and covered his mouth.

"I haven't finished yet. I meant please marry me, and we'll be lifelong partners..." Wen Shui said, her words muffled as her mouth was covered.

"Damn it, looks like I have to teach you a lesson." Ai Haibara said viciously as she took off her shoes.

.

An ordinary encounter almost escalated into a violent conflict.

Even the nearby patrol officers were attracted. Fortunately, one of the officers had worked on a case with Wen Shui before, and he cleared up the misunderstanding with a few simple explanations.

Twenty minutes later, Wenshui and Ai Haibara appeared at the entrance of a convenience store a few blocks away from the scene of the incident.

A person was holding a bear-shaped ice cream and taking small bites while standing by the roadside.

Wen Shui couldn't help but complain, "You're so impulsive! Didn't you say you shouldn't let too many people notice your identity? You actually tried to shove your shoe into my mouth in front of so many people."

"Who told you to say such things?" Ai Haibara glared at him. "Don't you know how much girls care about marriage proposals?"

Wen Shui: "But that wasn't a marriage proposal. I just wanted to be your best friend for life."

"This childish attitude is even more infuriating." Ai Haibara bit off the head of the bear-shaped ice cream cone.

Wen Shui couldn't help but shiver.

However, to his surprise, Ai Haibara would care about such things to this extent. Nuku had always thought that only someone like Sonoko, who was full of romantic fantasies, would act this way.

Could this be a hidden gene in girls with short brown hair?

Ai Haibara had been suppressed because of her living environment, and it was only today that he brought it out.

Thinking of this possibility, Wen Shui apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you took this so seriously."

Ai Haibara's expression softened.

Wen Shui continued, "Next time I'll try to find a more romantic place. What do you think of a Ferris wheel? Or a beach in the summer... Hey, why are you hitting me again?"

Ai Haibara gritted her teeth: "Didn't I tell you not to joke about things like this?"

"I'm not joking, I really want to be best friends with Haibara for life," Wen Shui said seriously, her voice involuntarily rising.

The convenience store cashier and the middle-aged man buying cigarettes peered at them curiously through the glass door.

However, Ai Haibara let go of his clothes, probably because she didn't want to cause another commotion.

"Oh no, I've become the center of attention again without even realizing it." Wen Shui scratched his head and smiled wryly.

Ai Haibara remained silent.

Wen Shui asked again, "What do we do now? Should we find another place to talk?"

Ai Haibara spoke in a soft, kitten-like voice, constantly fiddling with the bow decoration on her skirt: "Let's go home. It's not convenient to talk outside."

"it is good."

Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't even used his trump card yet, and judging from Ai Haibara's expression, her anger had almost subsided.

Do I really have the talent to become a master of romance?

But then again, being with her is really tiring, it feels like riding a roller coaster, kind of exciting.

.

Ai Haibara remained quiet throughout the journey, and even offered to go to the supermarket to buy some meat to cook dinner for Onami.

It seems she's really not angry anymore.

Although Ai Haibara is usually quite quiet, that quietness comes from seeing through too much of the filth in the world and having a psychological age far beyond that of her peers, which makes her aloof and refuse to communicate.

Today, Ai Haibara appears quieter and more docile.

Wen Shui suddenly realized that if Ai Haibara's personality could be locked in this state, her popularity at school would definitely increase more than double.

Of course, the price is the loss of support from some men who want to be trampled under her feet.

However, the idea of ​​warm water only lasted until the time I was checking out at the supermarket.

Ai Haibara and Nuku were arguing over who would pay the bill when something accidentally fell out of the woman's bag: a suspicious pill that looked like aptx-4869, a sharp knife, and a lipstick with an injection needle hidden inside when the cap was unscrewed... and other items.

Wen Shui felt a sudden tightness in her chest, a strange sense of dread washing over her.

"Don't worry, I've decided to have a proper talk with you," Ai Haibara comforted her in a gentle, motherly tone.

The lukewarm water was startled.

So you weren't planning on having a proper talk with me before?

Then, after Ai Haibara finished paying the bill, he took the shopping bag from her hand.

Ai Haibara held the bill in her hands and muttered to herself, "The beef here is cheap and the quality is pretty good. I'll buy from this store next time."

"So I actually got a second chance, huh? That's quite something." Wen Shui couldn't help but tease. "By the way, isn't it a problem for you to carry that kind of medicine with you? What if you lose it and someone finds it?"

Ai Haibara shook her head: "I don't usually bring these out, but I took them out of the lab specifically because I needed them today."

Wen Shui raised an eyebrow: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that Xiao Lan invited me to play tennis tonight. I'll try your cooking next time."

With that, he walked towards the supermarket entrance without looking back.

Ai Haibara lifted her long skirt and ran a few steps, grabbing Wen Shui's arm and threatening, "After saying such outrageous things, it's too late to run away now. You must eat one today to guarantee your loyalty to me."

.

After returning home, Ai Haibara first put the beef into a pot to stew, and then chopped the vegetables that would be used later.

After completing the preparations.

Ai Haibara took off her apron and hung it beside her, then looked at Nukumi, who had been supervising her the whole time: "Alright, can you say what you have to say now?"

Wen Shui nodded: "Actually, my meeting with Vermouth yesterday was due to an accident."

Ai Haibara shook her head: "That terrible woman is very good at creating these kinds of accidents. You might have been fooled by her."

“No, I’m certain this was an accident,” Wen Shui said firmly, “because…”

Afterwards, Wen Shui recounted the entire story of what happened last night to Ai Haibara, especially after he showed her the photo of Vermouth being pushed into the bathtub.

Ai Haibara was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
