Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

"Come and see."

Mitsuhiko shouted excitedly, his voice full of surprise and joy.

His shout instantly attracted the attention of Ayumi and Genta.

The two of them had curious expressions on their faces and then hurriedly ran towards Mitsuhiko.

Conan, who was picking up branches not far away, also walked quietly to Mitsuhiko's side, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

What appeared before their eyes was a mysterious and spectacular stalactite cave.

The entrance of the cave is crescent-shaped, with a winding slope extending slowly downwards. It is bottomless and pitch black.

This cave is like a huge monster with its bloody mouth wide open, as if it is going to devour all creatures that dare to approach.

However, these little ghosts did not show any fear at all. On the contrary, their faces were filled with irrepressible excitement.

Perhaps it was because the deep desire for adventure was completely aroused.

Children? They are always very curious.

Especially when Mitsuhiko pointed to a stone tablet next to the cave entrance.

"Go forward towards the path of the auspicious dragon, and the heavens will surely bless you with glory."

"What this sentence means is that God will bestow many blessings." Mitsuhiko explained seriously.

After hearing this, Genta and Ayumi looked at each other and nodded in understanding, as if they both thought there was a huge treasure hidden here.

See their innocent look.

Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes and thought, how could it be so easy to find the treasure location?

Moreover, even if there really is a treasure, doesn't the "Danger! No Entry" sign next to it mean that someone has explored it?

But Conan did not attack them. After all, he was somewhat interested in this stone tablet.

Among these densely packed words, there is a particularly eye-catching character “と”.

The Bai Gei trio racked their brains to guess what deep meaning this word contained.

At this moment, Conan suddenly jokingly gave his answer: "Maybe this is the location of Tokugawa Ieyasu's treasure."

As soon as he said this, he felt that the idea was too absurd and ridiculous.

After all, it is a bit far-fetched to easily identify it as Tokugawa Ieyasu's treasure.

But what was unexpected was that while Conan was still immersed in self-doubt, the Baige trio turned on the watch-shaped flashlights without hesitation and stepped into the depths of the cave.

Looking at the three figures walking away, Conan was speechless and could only sigh helplessly.

Then he took his own steps and followed closely behind.

Meanwhile, the campground.

Shiina Yuichi suddenly felt a chill on his face.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I happened to meet Haibara Ai's eyes.

And her little hands were touching her face.

The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Haibara Ai put her hands back into her arms as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes avoided, not daring to look at Shiina Yuichi again.

And Shiina Yuichi sat up straight.

"Shiho." Shiina Yuichi suddenly spoke softly.

"what happened?"

Haibara Ai turned her head away, her face a little red, but she still pretended to be nonchalant.

Shiina Yuichi slowly moved his face closer to Haibara Ai.

This action caused the blush on Haibara Ai's face to change drastically.

What is he trying to do?

Haibara Ai felt a little flustered and glanced at Dr. Agasa who was still busy.

Forget it, we’ve already kissed each other, what are you afraid of?

Huibara Ai closed her eyes as if she was dying heroically.

The next second, she felt a broad hand touching her forehead.

"Your hands are so cold, are you okay?"

Shiina Yuichi's words penetrated into Haibara Ai's ears.

Haibara Ai opened her eyes and looked at Shiina Yuichi, whose face was full of concern for her. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed that she had actually misunderstood.

However, who would have cold hands and feet when they have a cold in the middle of summer, Shiina Yuichi, this straight man?

She has a special physique.

"It's okay." Haibara Ai slapped Shiina Yuichi's claws away, and the heat on her face faded away.

"I'm glad you're okay." Shiina Yuichi nodded with a smile and continued, "How's the medicine?"

"There has been a big breakthrough, but clinical trials have not yet been conducted because the sample size of the experimental subjects is too small."

When talking about APTX4869, Haibara Ai's expression changed, becoming serious and solemn.

Although Yuichi Shiina brought the finished drug, she and Conan were the only people known to have shrunk after taking APTX4869.

If you want to conduct human experiments, you must start with one of them.

However, the safety of the antidote cannot be guaranteed at present, so she also studied the ingredients in the bottle of Lao Baigan that she drank at Beihu Restaurant.

Use this as a reference.

So far, she has successfully produced a batch of antidotes.

However, there has been no chance to use it yet.

"Is that so?" Shiina Yuichi showed a little disappointment on his face, but he quickly recovered and continued: "Then next time when your body gets bigger, can you kiss here?"

At first, Haibara Ai didn't notice anything unusual.

However, when she reacted and turned her head sharply, her eyes happened to meet Shiina Yuichi's gesture of pointing at her lips.

In an instant, a suffocating sense of shyness surged into her heart, as if it was going to drown her entire body.

At this moment, Haibara Ai once again transformed into the steam girl version of Ai, her face flushed and full of shyness.

He he he he he!!

Could it be that... he is teasing me on purpose?

What shocked Huibara Ai even more was that he actually remembered what happened in the Haido Hotel.

There is no doubt that Yuichi Shiina still remembers the scene vividly.

After all, that was a kiss offered by his beloved.

It was a pity that the situation was urgent at the time and he didn't have much time to savor the sweetness.

"That... was just an accident."

Haibara Ai's cheeks were as red as ripe apples. As she explained in a low voice, she nervously kneaded the corner of her clothes, as if trying to ease her inner unrest in this way.

Faced with such a cute reaction from Haibara Ai, Shiina Yuichi smiled, but then a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes and he spoke in a sad tone.

"So it was an accident?"

"I thought you liked me too?"

“So sad…”

and also?

Haibara Ai keenly captured the key information in Shiina Yuichi's words, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

Her face flushed slightly, and her eyes revealed a bit of panic and nervousness.

"It...actually, it can't be completely said to be an accident..." Haibara Ai stuttered and tried to explain, but her voice sounded a little weak.

However, before she could finish her words, Shiina Yuichi reached out without hesitation and gently grasped her little hand.

Huihara Ai raised her head suddenly, and her eyes met with Shiina Yuichi's. At that moment, she seemed to see herself reflected in the depths of the other's eyes.

Clear, pure, without any impurities.

These eyes are like deep lake water, which makes people indulge in them involuntarily.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, everything around them became blurry, only the gaze between the two of them was clearly visible.

Haibara Ai felt the warmth coming from Shiina Yuichi's palm, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Finally, Shiina Yuichi broke the silence and said in a low but firm voice, "Shiho, I like you."

These four simple words, like the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, illuminate the softest corner of Haibara Ai's heart.
