Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

But he said, "No, but it tastes good, you should try it."

"Forget it, I already felt bad enough for eating so many of your fried shrimp last time." Ai Haibara shook her head.

I didn't see any embarrassment on your face at all, and judging from the way you put your hands on your stomach, you're more worried about gaining weight, right?

Wen Shui suddenly longed to see her standing on the scale, with a look of despair on her face.

So he took the initiative to stand up and bring the bento box to Ai Haibara: "Try it, don't be shy."

However, due to muscle growth in his arms, his control over strength became somewhat off, and he accidentally used too much force.

I tossed the fried shrimp out of the bento box.

The fried shrimp, glistening with golden batter under the sunlight, drew a graceful parabola in the air before falling precisely into the alluring depths of Ai Haibara's mind.

This astonishing accident left both Nuwa and Ai Haibara stunned.

Both of them stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape in an "O" shape.

Ai Haibara's mouth opened even wider, seemingly big enough to fit a larger fried shrimp.

The music classroom fell silent instantly, while the sounds of chasing and playing came from the playground outside the window.

"Are you...you're crazy?" Ai Haibara's face showed a hint of panic. Through the gaps in the wisps of hair around her ears, you could see that her small, delicate earlobes had turned light pink.

This is the second time that Ai Haibara has shown the reactions typical of a teenage girl in front of warm water.

But she was, after all, a member of the Black Organization, and quickly regained her composure, reaching into her collar to pull out the fried shrimp and throwing it into the warm water.

It's thanks to her small and delicate hands that it wasn't so easy to get it out.

Wen Shui instinctively used the lunchbox in her hand to block the hot water, but the fried shrimp landed precisely on the half-eaten rice.

Wen Shui quickly put the lunchbox in her hand aside, took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Sorry, I've been exercising lately, and my hands are a little unresponsive."

Ai Haibara's expression was as cold as ice, and she crumpled the tissue into a ball, her aura sending chills down one's spine.

But if you move your gaze down slightly, you can see the delicate skin exposed at the neckline, glistening with a very alluring sheen.

Moreover, along with her angry breathing, one could vaguely see a bit of the snow-white northern hemisphere.

It makes you want to reach out and test how smooth it is.

Just then, the door to the music classroom was opened.

Ran and Sonoko Suzuki appeared at the doorway, looking at the man and woman bathed in sunlight by the window.

Reddened cheeks, crumpled paper, and glistening debris on fair skin.

"What are you doing?!" Xiaolan's eyes widened, and her voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire floor.

Chapter 15 Something even more terrifying than an indirect kiss happened.

Wen Shui never expected Xiao Lan to follow him here.

Although Ran kept turning her head to stare at Ai Haibara, the thief, in the classroom, she didn't choose to confront her during the break.

Perhaps she was afraid of getting an answer like, "Yes, I am Shinichi Kudo's girlfriend."

Through these days of interaction, Wen Shui has also gained a general understanding of Ran Mouri, in addition to her gentleness, kindness, superhuman strength, and wifely qualities.

Deep down, she lacks a sense of security and is always reluctant to make changes.

Just like the idea of ​​becoming a detective, Ran was very excited at first, but when Wenshui suggested investigating the Slit-Mouthed Woman, she started to back down.

If it weren't for Wen Shui's encouragement, even the museum's investigation would probably have been delayed until after the incident.

Perhaps that night at Dorobiga Amusement Park, even if he hadn't accidentally wandered into the bushes, Ran probably wouldn't have chased after him to confront Shinichi Kudo.

Instead, she would hide behind bushes, constantly reminiscing about her childhood sweetheart, to convince and comfort herself that it was okay.

Perhaps in her view, not asking clearly would allow her to maintain the original relationship, but asking revealed an answer she didn't want.

Then there's absolutely no room for maneuver.

Children like Xiaolan, who experienced their parents separating at a young age, are actually very afraid of things that change the existing order, which can be considered a manifestation of low self-esteem.

Wen Shui glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, the "number one ShinRan leader" standing behind Ran, and thought that it was probably Sonoko who encouraged Ran to come over.

He should have left after finishing his business; he was careless.

However, he and Ai Haibara really didn't do anything, which should be easy to explain.

"You've misunderstood, Ran. It's not what you think. We were just having lunch." Wen Shui said, then looked at Ai Haibara, as if to say something.

Ai Haibara calmly wiped the oil stains off her body with a tissue, deliberately letting Ran see clearly, and said indifferently:

"That's right, Wen Shui-jun and I are just ordinary friends. A few years ago, during a skiing trip, a few of us got stuck on the mountain..."

With Ai Haibara's explanation, Ran and Sonoko's expressions softened slightly.

Of course, the oil stains from the fried shrimp on the paper ball also provide good evidence.

Just as Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to escape the ensuing chaotic situation by saying, "I'm planning to go check out the clubs, you guys can chat slowly,"

Ai Haibara added at the end, "When I was trapped, I had a hallucination and mistook tree branches for fried shrimp. I didn't expect that Mr. Nuwa would still remember this and specially buy me a fried shrimp bento."

Ai Haibara may have wanted to increase the realism of the story.

This only drew a furious glare from Xiaolan at Wen Shui.

Xiaolan's face revealed a terrifying expression that seemed to say, "You actually used the lovingly made bento box I prepared to please another woman?"

Then she switched to an expression that said to Ai Haibara, "Are you really going to take everything away from me, not even Wen Shui-kun?"

Wen Shui suddenly realized that Xiao Lan had a real talent for acting. She could glean so much information just from her expressions; perhaps she could try pursuing a career in acting.

With tears in her eyes, Xiaolan walked to the lunchbox on the stool, picked it up, and walked out.

Wen Shui felt that if she were to take it away like that, the friendship they had just built might be damaged, and besides, it was indeed his fault.

So he grabbed Xiaolan's hand and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished eating yet."

Xiaolan's eyes were red: "If you don't like it, that's fine. There's no need to force yourself."

"It's because it's so delicious that I wanted Haibara to try it. You could never get enough of this kind of cooking!" Wen Shui suddenly said in a loud voice, then grabbed a fried shrimp from the bento box and ate it.

Ran and Sonoko Suzuki, who was holding up a stool behind her, were both stunned by the aura he exuded.

Things seem to be moving in a positive direction.

Next, we just need to explain what happened...

"You ate that fried shrimp?" Ai Haibara suddenly interjected.

Wen Shui looked at Haibara Ai with a strange expression with a puzzled look, and then he suddenly realized that the crispy fried shrimp in his mouth seemed to have a slightly sweeter milky taste than before.

His eyes widened, and he instinctively tried to spit out the shrimp in his mouth.

But then he suddenly realized that Xiaolan was right next to him. Xiaolan had no idea about the fried shrimp coated in milk, so he stopped what he was doing.

Ai Haibara rushed over, slapping his back in embarrassment and anger: "Pervert, spit it out right now!"

Warm water's gaze was forced to gradually move down from Ai Haibara's rosy cheeks, past her plaid skirt, and finally settle on her slightly flesh-colored black stockings and her pair of brown-black leather shoes.

If it were someone with special talents, they might find Ai Haibara's "command" to have an irresistible magic.

But all Wen Shui wanted to do now was throw this wicked woman out the window.

Fortunately, Ran quickly helped him up and glared at Ai Haibara, saying, "What are you doing? Don't bully Wen Shui-kun!"

However, during this back and forth, the warm water was choked by the food in his mouth, and he coughed violently.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara immediately turned around to get him water, but Sonoko Suzuki was faster and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you."

Wen Shui said in a hoarse voice, then unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, took a few sips, and slowly swallowed the food that had choked her.

The water, with its subtle peach scent, flows down the throat, bringing a cool and refreshing sensation.

Wait a minute, isn't this mineral water? Why does it taste like peach?

Wen Shui, holding the bottle, looked curiously at Suzuki Sonoko.

"Yuan, Yuanzi, why did you give my water to Wen Shui Jun?" Xiao Lan, her face flushed, snatched the mineral water bottle from his hand, only to find it had already been drunk dry.

Sonoko Suzuki: "Eh? Is that so? Sorry, I took the wrong one."

Xiaolan glared at Yuanzi with shame and anger, then lowered her head, not daring to meet Wenshui's gaze.

Wen Shui noticed that her slender shoulders were trembling slightly, and the blush on her cheeks did not fade with time, but instead spread to her fair little hands that were holding the mineral water bottle.

Could she have been dyed pink from head to toe?

Wen Shui pictured Xiao Lan wrapped in tempura batter, rolling around in her bento box.

This unexpected little incident made the atmosphere in the music room increasingly strange.

This left Wen Shui speechless. Shouldn't this have been a chaotic scene revolving around Shinichi Kudo? How did I get dragged into it and forced to drink Ran's saliva and Ai Haibara's creamy fried shrimp?

In this timeline, neither Shiho Miyano nor Ran had any real interaction with Shinichi Kudo; it seems they probably didn't even hold hands.

But he watched Detective Conan in his past life, so he subconsciously connects the two of them with Shinichi Kudo.

Wen Shui felt like he had become a "blonde-haired PE student whose face was obscured".

He looked at Suzuki Sonoko, the one who started all this, and then discovered that she had taken off her socks and was holding them in her palm in a ball.

This abrupt behavior caught Xiaolan's attention: "What's wrong, Sonoko?"

“I saw that Wen Shui-kun was in a lot of discomfort, so I wanted to help him vomit,” Sonoko Suzuki said seriously. “I learned this vomiting therapy from TV.”

"You must be kidding me. How could there be such a method? Besides, I'm already better." Wen Shui retreated to the window and questioned in a slightly hoarse voice.

And why do you all want me to throw up so badly? He complained inwardly.

Ran also said in a reproachful tone, "Sonoko, how can you save someone like that? Even Wen Shui-kun couldn't accept this kind of treatment in front of so many people."

Something about this statement seems off.

Then Wen Shui saw Ai Haibara suddenly take a small step back. She seemed to be on guard against something and pulled down the hem of her pleated skirt a little.

Wen Shui felt deeply insulted. He turned around, stepped onto the windowsill, and pretended to jump out.

Xiao Lan was shocked and hugged Wen Shui from behind: "No, Wen Shui-jun, that was just an accident, it didn't count as a real indirect kiss, you don't need to worry about it!"
