However, since her parents died when she was young, and the two sisters were under the strict control of the organization, such happy family events were naturally not for Ai Haibara.

At that time, Ai Haibara had not yet demonstrated the ability to be valued by the organization, and Akemi Miyano could not make up for her sister's shortcomings in this regard.

So Ai Haibara was somewhat curious and wanted to see what these Girls' Day dolls were.

Hearing Ai Haibara's righteous words, Conan and the others lost their will to resist. However, Ayumi looked at Wen Shui with expectant eyes: "Brother Wen Shui, is the case urgent? If it's not that urgent, come with us to see the Girls' Day dolls."

Ai Haibara was about to speak up to help Nuwa decline.

Wen Shui smiled and nodded, "Okay, I actually miss it a little too."

Haibara Ai: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Ayumi jumped up excitedly: "Great! Let's replenish our water and get right to training!"

Ai Haibara grabbed Wen Shui's arm and pulled him away, looking wary: "You don't actually have feelings for Ayumi, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Wen Shui said with displeasure, reaching out to ruffle Ai Haibara's hair.

"Stop messing around, your hair is all messed up."

Ai Haibara had been eating a mango-flavored ice cream since earlier, so she held the half-eaten ice cream in place with her mouth and then used her hands to tidy her hair, which had been messed up by the warm water.

It was midday at the end of summer, and the weather was still very hot; you'd start sweating after just a little exercise in the sun.

Ai Haibara's small, cute lips were quickly smudged after touching the creamy ice cream.

The girl's delicate and charming lips, and the sports vest that clung tightly to her sternum due to sweat, made one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Warm water: (°°〃)

Ai Haibara quickly sensed something was wrong. She took the ice cream in her hand, then stuck out her small, cute tongue to eat the cream from the corner of her mouth, and said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say you were going back to write a script later?"

"That's just an excuse to avoid being a serving player," Wen Shui said, shrugging.

Ai Haibara snorted coldly: "Hmph, you're really honest, aren't you? So why the change of heart now?"

"Of course it's because I want to be with Ai more~" Wen Shui took Haibara Ai's small hand. "By the way, I haven't tried this flavor of ice cream before, let me try it."

"There's more in the bag! Don't eat mine!" Ai Haibara struggled violently. "And even if you say that, I won't wear that tennis skirt you bought me!!"

Wen Shui: "Don't say that. Although the size is a bit small, I think it will look great on you. Just don't wear it out."

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and looked at Wen Shui with the eyes of someone looking at trash: "Listen to what you're saying! Who gives someone the reason that they absolutely can't wear their clothes out?! That kind of reason?"

"Yes, there is." Wen Shui shrugged. "Isn't that normal between lovers?"

Ai Haibara's face flushed bright red: "Who, who are you... who are you?!"

If Genta and the others nearby had overheard their conversation, they would have been utterly astonished, so much so that they wouldn't have even noticed their ice cream falling to the ground.

But Ai Haibara and Nukumizu have already mastered the unique skill of chatting behind the backs of these kids.

So I'm not worried about being overheard.

After exchanging a few words with Ai Haibara, the two returned to the main group to discuss the afternoon's training plan and activities.

Conan also ate an ice cream and intended to push the cart around the court to collect the remaining balls.

Wen Shui stopped him and tossed him a bottle of iced cola: "Drink some water and rest. It's too hot, don't get heatstroke. I'll help you retrieve the ball later."

Conan glanced at Wen Shui with a complicated expression and whispered, "Thank you."

Then he sat on the floor of the terrace tennis court and sipped his Coke.

Wen Shui sat in the shade, a few meters away from the kids.

Ai Haibara followed, holding a towel on the ground, and pouted, asking, "Hey, you wouldn't be doing this because you feel guilty about wanting to steal Ran away, so you're deliberately trying to get on good terms with Conan, the kid who's so close to Shinichi Kudo, would you?"

Wen Shui took a sip of cola and gave a slightly shy smile.

No, things are more serious than you think.

Actually, all the credit should go to Mrs. Kudo!

Chapter 240 Ai's cotton sock offensive, then caught cheating by Ran.

Faced with Ai Haibara's suspicions, Nuku tried to cover them up.

After all, given his relationship with Mrs. Kudo, he couldn't confront Ai Haibara about it yet, even though Wen Shui was now fairly certain that Ai Haibara wouldn't turn against him; at most, she would just give him the cold shoulder for a while.

During their recent interactions, Wen Shui had a vague feeling that Ai Haibara knew that his relationship with Ran and Miwako Sato was unusual.

But Ai Haibara didn't distance herself from him. She still appeared by his side like a housekeeper, occasionally giving him a little teasing, but the resentment in her eyes was definitely more than before.

Wen Shui felt a little guilty, but he quickly decided to turn that guilt into motivation to protect and love Xiao Ai properly.

This must be what Ai Haibara longs for deep down, right?

If Ai were to confront Yukiko Kudo about her situation, her emotions would definitely be affected to some extent. Coupled with the threat from the Black Organization, she would surely feel abandoned.

This is similar to how the first child feels in a typical family after having a second child.

So Wen Shui's plan is to first wrap Ai Haibara in love, making her feel a sense of security she has never felt before.

He wanted Ai to know clearly that in his heart, she was the most special and irreplaceable person.

Then wait for a suitable opportunity, preferably after the Black Organization issue is completely resolved, to confront them and then move into that castle with a beautiful view together.

"What kind of look is that?" Ai Haibara, sitting next to the warm water, narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but move to the side.

Wen Shui smiled: "I feel like you're cutest when you're jealous."

"Who, who's jealous?" Ai Haibara's cheeks flushed slightly, and she snorted coldly, "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just worried that you've been blinded by beauty and forgotten about the Black Organization's crisis."

Wen Shui said seriously, "Of course I won't forget. Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it. You and Sister Mingmei will soon be able to walk openly on the street without worrying about the coercion of the Black Organization."

Ai Haibara felt a warmth in her heart, and her gaze softened unconsciously.

"You don't need to rush, safety comes first." After the initial joy, Ai Haibara began to worry about Nuwa's safety. "I think things are fine as they are now."

Wen Shui sat down next to Ai Haibara and put his arm around her slender shoulders, which were damp with sweat.

Ai Haibara shuddered and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Genta and the others. Seeing that they were still discussing the plot of Kamen Rider intensely, she didn't push Wen Shui's hand away.

Wen Shui teased, "That won't do. My youth is also limited. If you can't recover your body and break free from the Black Organization, wouldn't my youth be wasted?"

Ai Haibara raised the tip of her nose, looked at the mischievous smile on Wen Shui's face, and instantly understood what this guy was talking about—something that had been wasted.

"Hmph, your head is full of dirty thoughts."

Ai Haibara muttered something under her breath, her baby-pink cheeks looking even redder than before, but she didn't swat away the hand that was draped in warm water on her shoulder.

Because she knew very well that if her body didn't recover to Sherry's state, she wouldn't be able to fall in love with Wen Shui.

Boys at this age are generally influenced by hormone secretion and are easily attracted to that kind of thing.

During her time as a transfer student at Teitan High School, Ai Haibara learned about the openness of young men and women these days. A great detective like Nuku, who is often interviewed by reporters and is so handsome, would probably have girls at Teitan lining up to send him love letters if he wanted one.

However, Wen Shui only touched her slightly and occasionally exchanged glances with the women in Xiao Lan Yuanzi's garden.

He was still quite restrained in responding to other women's advances.

So deep down, Ai actually feels a little guilty towards Wen Shui.

So during this time, Ai Haibara has been trying her best to convince herself and find ways to provide some emotional support to Warm Water while her body has shrunk.

However, her current body has its limits, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't compare to Xiaolan and the others.

Feeling the warmth of the large, warm hands draped over her shoulders, Ai Haibara's heart raced, and she couldn't help but imagine several daring plans.

Do we really have to do that?

Ai Haibara looked at the tennis court bathed in the midday sun, her expression slightly bewildered.

.

Of course, Wen Shui had no idea what Ai Haibara was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have given her a push from behind to make her plan a reality.

Wen Shui thought that Ai Haibara's confused expression was because she was thinking about how terrifying the Black Organization was.

So he smiled and changed the subject, pointing to Conan chatting with the Junior Detective League and drinking: "Besides, I think that although Conan is a bit naughty and arrogant, he's not a bad person at heart. It's never good to bully children."

"Hmph, I'd be a fool to believe you."

Ai Haibara, with a cold expression, brushed a stray hair behind her ear.

Sweat mixed with the gentle scent of antiperspirant entered the warm water nasal cavity.

It has to be said that after her body shrank, Ai Haibara's body scent changed a lot, from a cool perfume scent to a light milky scent unique to girls her age.

It makes people feel an irresistible urge to protect it.

After taking a few sips of warm water, he felt unsatisfied, so he simply pressed his face against Ai Haibara's soft, fluffy brown short hair, thoroughly satisfying his protective instincts.

"Ugh, it's dirty there from sweat," Ai Haibara said shyly, patting Wen Shui's arm.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "No, I think it smells great. What shampoo do you use?"

“Didn’t you use it last time? The black bottle in Professor Agasa’s bathroom,” Ai Haibara said.

Wen Shui frowned slightly: "Huh, I used it when Conan and I took a bath last time, and I didn't think it smelled this good then. Could the problem be with you?"

Wen Shui said that he wanted to continue to explore the truth of the matter.

Ai Haibara reached out her small hand to stop him from continuing his nonsense, and said sternly, "Stop fooling around. If Ayumi and the others see this, they'll laugh at me again and say that I'm being affectionate with you."

"Is not it?"

"Hmph, it's clearly you who's being affectionate with me." Ai Haibara couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Although she looked helpless, Ai actually enjoyed this kind of interaction, because it made her temporarily forget the threat of the Black Organization.

Originally, everyone had only planned to take a 5-minute break, but those kids had a habit of taking a nap together when they were at Teitan.

After finishing the ice cream and drinks I bought, I felt a wave of sleepiness wash over me.

After discussing it, everyone decided to take a half-hour nap to recover their energy before starting tennis training.

To Wen Shui's surprise, Ai Haibara also caught the yawning and looked rather cute with her sleepy eyes.

"You seem to be fitting in quite well. People who don't know the truth would never guess your real identity," Wen Shui said.

Ai Haibara: "There's no other way. Why don't you take a break too, or would you like to keep watch for us?"

“No one usually comes to this venue.” Wen Shui looked around and checked again. “Of course I’m going to take a nap. I have a feeling that something might happen later that will prevent me from having dinner on time.”
