Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Wen Shui felt somewhat guilty, so she accepted the punishment.

He looked down at the teeth marks on his hand; the small marks resembled petal-shaped imprints and faintly emitted a pleasant fragrance.

"How are you feeling?" Ai Haibara sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, her toes twirling slippers, her slender, white ankles looking particularly alluring under the light.

Warm Water: "It's alright. I didn't expect there to actually be a drug that can regenerate human tissue."

"How does she compare to Ran?" Ai Haibara asked.

Wen Shui subconsciously replied, "Uh... yours is cuter."

Ai Haibara took off one of her slippers, held it in her hand, and stood in front of the warm water with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Because after her body shrank, she was about the same height as Ayumi.

So Wen Shui, sitting on the ground, had his gaze fall directly on her calm and composed sternum.

Wen Shui quickly stood up from the ground and said jokingly, "Do you think it would be very profitable to extract the ingredients of this medicine and open a dental clinic? It's much more effective than dentures."

Ai Haibara: "I don't know, but I think we can give it a try."

"Really?"

"Hmm, I'll use you as the experimenter." Ai Haibara smiled, her eyes narrowing, as the sole of the slipper in her hand gradually enlarged in front of Wen Shui's eyes.

Chapter 120: Xiaolan's Call for Help Leads to a Chaotic Scene

Seeing Ai Haibara lunging at him with gritted teeth, Wen Shui deftly dodged to the side, then grabbed the back of her neck, her fate sealed.

Immediately afterwards, he lifted Ai Haibara into the air like he was carrying a kitten.

Ai Haibara's short legs kept attacking the warm water, but unfortunately, she couldn't cause any damage because her strength was too weak, so she stopped hitting the warm water.

She turned and stared intently at Wen Shui with her big, icy blue eyes, her puffed-up expression really giving her a childlike air.

Wen Shui sighed, "Why did you suddenly hit me? You were the one who asked me to help check your teeth."

"I didn't! I just wanted you to see who let you put your hand in there!" Ai Haibara glared angrily. And besides, did I hit you simply because you put your paw in my mouth? She added mentally.

Warm Water: "But you just used your tongue..."

He suddenly realized that Ai Haibara was about to go berserk again, so he stopped the conversation and didn't bring up the details of when Ai Haibara bit him earlier.

"Alright, let's get down to business first," Wen Shui said seriously, then gently placed Ai Haibara on the bedside table.

Ai Haibara's expression softened slightly, and she walked to the desk, picked up the kettle and glass from the tea tray, and poured herself a glass of water.

But after she drank the water, she didn't swallow it directly.

Instead, it gurgled around in its mouth for a while, like brushing its teeth, and then spat it into another glass.

Wen Shui said with a resentful look, "Is it really that bad? This is very hurtful."

Ai Haibara said with a stern face, "You didn't wash your hands after eating."

"Alright, get me a glass of water too. I'm thirsty after talking for so long." Wen Shui didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer; he was getting sleepy.

Ai Haibara didn't refuse, and obediently took the water glass and walked to the warm water: "Here you go."

Warm Water: "Isn't this the cup you just spat out? There are still bubbles on it."

"Huh? I thought you'd pretend you didn't see it, secretly drink it, and then be so happy you couldn't sleep all night." Ai Haibara looked at him in surprise.

Warm Water: "Please don't have that strange misunderstanding about me."

"No, I just took the wrong one." Ai Haibara immediately started to deny it.

Wen Shui couldn't help but add, "By the way, that 'this guy didn't drink it, so he's not a pervert' look on your face is actually a bit hurtful."

Ai Haibara pursed her lips, seemingly trying to suppress a laugh.

Then she ran back to her desk with her short legs and this time dutifully poured a glass of warm water and brought it over.

Nukumizu then recounted to Ai Haibara what he had encountered after the fire at Tsukishima Biotech Company that day, including his interactions with the Black Organization, primarily his cooperation with Vermouth, and the fact that Akemi Miyano had been rescued by Vermouth and was now hiding in a place where no one could find her.

Ai Haibara frowned: "Vermouth is a very cunning woman, but for now she seems trustworthy, because even she can't afford the price of betraying the organization."

Wen Shui: "Yes, that's why I dared to agree to her conditions."

“But she probably won’t easily reveal your sister’s whereabouts to you.” Sitting on the edge of the bed, Haibara’s face was full of sorrow, her two fair legs swinging back and forth in the air, her slender ankles appearing and disappearing.

Wen Shui placed her hand on her small shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, cooperating with Vermouth is just a temporary measure. I will find a way to rescue your sister."

"Yes, thank you."

This time, Ai Haibara did not resist. Instead, she leaned her head slightly towards Wen Shui. It seemed that after listening to Wen Shui's account of his experiences during this period, she fully understood that Wen Shui had put himself in a dangerous situation with no way out in order to save her sister.

From the day she was born until now, only her older sister, Akemi Miyano, has ever done this much for her.

Therefore, Ai Haibara instinctively felt somewhat indebted to Wen Shui.

If Wen Shui offered to check her teeth at this moment, Ai Haibara would probably put on a disgusted expression and then reluctantly agree to his request.

But Wen Shui had long since lost that thought.

As Wen Shui felt the girl's soft, delicate hair and the milky scent emanating from her, he found his heart instantly calmed down.

Wen Shui: "By the way, take a look at the gift I bought for you. I bet you'll really like it."

"okay."

Ai Haibara lay on the bed, picked up the gift box that was on the bed, and carefully untied the ribbon that was tied to the box.

When she carefully opened the box, she found a pair of very beautiful black strappy high heels inside.

These are a pair of stiletto heels with a cool and aloof feel. The upper is made of several extremely thin black patent leather straps that intertwine and are secured at the ankle.

Its delicate and compact size makes it look more like a shoe made for Barbie dolls.

Ai Haibara looked at Wen Shui with an incredulous expression: "This is the gift you were talking about?"

"Yes."

"But... what's the use of this?" Ai Haibara tilted her head.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "They look great, don't they? And if you feel anxious about your body shrinking, you can wear these shoes to distract yourself from that anxiety."

"I thought the gift you mentioned was something that could fight against the Black Organization." Ai Haibara carefully picked up a high heel and examined it closely.

Although the gift was completely different from what she expected, it's still hard for a girl to be happy to receive a gift. Not to mention, these shoes were actually a bit too good for her; it turns out Wen Shui actually has some taste.

Wen Shui: "Leave that to me. You just need to focus on researching the antidote for aptx-4869."

Wen Shui's somewhat domineering and chauvinistic remarks would have definitely earned him a roll of the eyes from Ai Haibara in the past, but now she only felt a warm feeling filling her heart.

It feels so good to be protected.

However, Ai Haibara suddenly thought of a question: "How do you know my shoe size after my body shrinks?"

Before today, after her body shrank, she had only met Wen Shui once, which was a brief encounter of less than 5 minutes at the scene of the fire.

Wen Shui shrugged: "Last time at the fire scene, you weren't wearing your shoes because they didn't fit, right? I noticed that at the time."

"You remembered it after just one look?" Ai Haibara looked surprised.

Wen Shui thought it was because I had the [Contour Recognition] skill, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he tried to brush it off: "I have a good memory, and besides, your body suddenly shrank back then, which had a huge impact on my worldview."

Ai Haibara narrowed her eyes: "Do you remember Ran and the others' shoe sizes?"

"Xiao Lan? I don't know her, I've never seen her, I don't know."

This time, Wen Shui learned her lesson and directly denied it three times in a row.

Although Ai Haibara didn't believe Wen Shui's explanation, her expression improved noticeably: "In such a dangerous situation, you actually had the mind to look at my feet. I don't know whether to praise you for having a big heart or for being thick-skinned."

Wen Shui smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to suddenly shrink like that? The cold and aloof witch Princess Sherry suddenly turned into a cute little girl. Anyone would be curious, right?"

Ai Haibara gave Wen Shui a deep look and snorted coldly: "Pervert, help me put my shoes on."

"Huh?" Wen Shui was stunned.

He watched as Ai Haibara solemnly handed him the black strappy high heels, wondering what was wrong with this woman. Was she so happy to hear that Akemi Miyano was alright that she wanted to reward him?

Through the gaps in Ai Haibara's wisps of hair, one could vaguely see that her small ears had turned an alluring light pink, and Ai Haibara's somewhat evasive gaze betrayed her inner thoughts.

But, could we reward you in a different way?

"I'd be happy if you cooked me a few more delicious Chinese meals," Wen Shui couldn't help but complain in her mind.

"What are you standing there for?" Ai Haibara bit her lip and glared at him shyly. "I just wanted to test whether what you just said was true."

Wen Shui was speechless for a moment.

I wondered if anyone would use this to test someone.

However, he still took the shoes from Ai Haibara's hand, and Ai Haibara cooperated by sitting on the edge of the bed and kicking off her large slippers.

A pair of bare feet, as soft and delicate as white jade, appeared before the warm water.

Through the fair and delicate skin on the instep, one can vaguely see the fine blood vessels flowing beneath, and the neatly trimmed nails gleam with a captivating luster under the light.

Wen Shui took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Then he gently grasped Ai Haibara's slender ankle and found that her skin was really soft, as delicate as freshly made tofu.

As those delicate, bare feet drew closer, a scent mixed with the fragrance of a young girl entered Wen Shui's nostrils.

"Would you like to try some?" Ai Haibara suddenly tempted.

Wen Shui looked at Ai Haibara speechlessly: "Don't treat me like a pervert, you bastard."

"You actually hesitated for 0.3 seconds before refusing, so you were indeed tempted after all," Ai Haibara sneered.

"I didn't, how did you know I..." Wen Shui was about to retort to how Haibara Ai could tell, when she suddenly noticed that she was holding a stopwatch in her hand, with 0.35 seconds displayed on the screen.

Wen Shui was immediately left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Just as the two were arguing, Wen Shui's phone rang.

He had to put down Ai Haibara's small feet first, then took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was Ran calling.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

"Wen Shui, something happened to my dad!" Xiao Lan's voice was urgent, and she seemed a little nervous.

Wen Shui: "What's wrong? Tell me slowly, don't rush me."
