Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Santa Maria Sanatorium, inside the restaurant of the central building.

Yuichi Shiina, Weining and Marina sat at the dining table to eat.

Looking at the dishes on the table, there are not only Western meals, but also ancient Chinese delicacies.

"Hmm, such a familiar taste." Marina took a bite of the chopped pepper fish head in front of her, her eyes shining.

"As long as you think it tastes good." Shiina Yuichi said with a smile.

However, he noticed that Marina actually knew how to use chopsticks. Not only that, he also saw that Weining was very skilled in picking up food.

This made Shiina Yuichi a little curious.

After all, chopsticks, as a eating tool, are used in most Asian countries besides China, such as South Korea, Thailand, Laos, etc.

Although most of Russia is in Asia, the vast majority of people follow European dining habits.

Knives and forks are used.

"Well, it's delicious. My mother used to cook dishes like this for me. They are delicacies from her hometown." Marina explained.

Ok?

Shiina Yuu was stunned for a moment.

Marina's mother, isn't that his grandmother?

Is there Hunan cuisine in my grandma’s hometown?

Could it be...she is Chinese?

Shiina Yuichi still had this doubt in his mind and asked Marina a question.

"Yes, my mother is from China." Marina smiled.

Well, it’s confirmed now that Shiina Yuichi is here.

What country are you from in this world?

He is a Chinese-Russian mixed-race, but his Chinese blood is a little thin.

It's no wonder, I have Asian features and Marina also has them on her face.

"Could it be that Yuichi is also from China?" Marina asked curiously.

Shiina Yuichi thought for a while, then replied, "Theoretically, it should be considered."

"Is that so? No wonder you were able to make such memorable food. Thank you so much." Marina seemed to be in a good mood.

Weining, who was sitting at the other end, did not participate in the conversation between the two people. He just ate the meal made by Shiina Yuichi himself while watching the two of them quietly.

His eyes were filled with relief.

If that incident hadn't happened back then, perhaps their family would be in such a harmonious situation now.

"Yuichi, can you make other dishes tomorrow?" Marina's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Of course no problem." Shiina Yuichi nodded with a smile.

"That's great~" Marina saw that Shiina Yuichi agreed and began to concentrate on the food in front of her.

Shiina Yuichi and Weining looked at each other, and then started eating.

After dinner, the sky had already darkened, and Shiina Yuichi sent Marina back to the room.

Marina sat on the edge of the bed, her expression becoming somewhat serious.

"What's wrong?" Shiina Yuichi couldn't help but ask when he saw Marina's serious expression.

Marina also looked at Shiina Yuichi and suddenly said, "Thank you very much today, Yuichi."

"You are different from the caregivers who looked after me. Every time they looked at me, they were filled with sympathy and awe."

"And you, I can see the concern in your eyes."

"He also took me for a long walk."

"I know there's something wrong with my brain, sometimes I'm confused and sometimes I'm clear, but I don't blame them."

"They are doing this for my own good, but... I still want to go out for a walk."

“So, I really thank you.”

Marina thanked Shiina Yuichi sincerely.

This made Yuichi Shiina feel depressed, and he was a little hesitant about whether to tell Marina his true identity.

Although he was still struggling in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face.

After hesitating for a while.

"...You're welcome. I can still take you out for a walk tomorrow." said Shiina Yuichi.

"Thank you then." Marina smiled as bright as the moon, her tone full of gratitude.

"You're welcome. See you tomorrow, Mrs. Anatole." After saying this with a smile, Shiina Yuichi turned and left the room, closing the door.

Looking at the closing door, Marina was deeply moved. What a kind and gentle child.

If my Daniel were still around, he would probably be this big by now.

Daniel, are you okay?

Marina looked at a photo on the bedside table, which was a photo of her and her two children.

Daniel, pictured above, is a baby in swaddling clothes.

Marina's eyes revealed sadness.

"Daniel, Mikhail, Artyom, I miss you so much."

A faint sigh echoed in the room.

At this time, Yuichi Shiina had already left the house and found someone.

Weining.

Looking at Weining in the study, he was wearing reading glasses and processing documents under the desk lamp.

Shiina Yuichi stopped at the door of the study.

"Is there anything wrong?" Wei Ning didn't even raise his head, but it was as if he had a pair of eyes on his head and predicted the appearance of Shiina Yuichi.

Shiina Yuichi hesitated for a while, but still walked in and sat down on a stool next to the desk.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'm not in a hurry." Shiina Yuichi's expression revealed a hint of politeness.

If Conan and the others saw this, they would probably be able to stuff a light bulb into their mouths.

Is this person Yuichi Shiina?

This is what Shiina Yuichi looks like?

Wei Ning did not reject Shiina Yuichi's suggestion, and then said, "There is tea in the cabinet. If you are thirsty, you can make a cup for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Yuichi didn't waste any words and stood up and walked to the cabinet.

After opening the cabinet, there were several bags of valuable tea inside.

However, Yuichi Shiina also saw coffee beans.

He looked back at Weining.

Judging from the thick documents on the table, it will probably take some time.

He hasn't had coffee in a long time.

Then he went out with the coffee beans and tea bags.

After all, there were no ready-made water-boiling tools in the study.

In the corridor outside the study, Yuichi Shiina asked someone if there was a place to make tea, and finally followed the other party's instructions to a small kitchen.

Then he started to tinker with tea leaves and coffee beans.

After more than half an hour, Shiina Yuichi returned to the study with two cups of steaming drinks.

As he expected, Weining was still processing documents, and Shiina Yui placed a package of tea on the desk.

I sat aside with my coffee.

Neither of them spoke. After about ten minutes, Shiina Yuichi finished the coffee in his hand.

Weining finally let out a sigh, took off his reading glasses, rubbed his nose, and looked a little tired.

Then he noticed the tea that Shiina Yuichi made for him, and couldn't help but look at Shiina Yuichi again.

This boy is quite careful.

"What do you want from me?" Wei Ning picked up the still warm tea, took a sip and said.

Shiina Yuichi looked at Weining and said seriously.

"I didn't tell her my true identity, but... I don't know if this is right."

Weining looked at his little grandson, and his eyes gradually softened, no longer as sharp as when they first met.

"I guess you have some concerns that prevent you from telling Marina the truth, right?" Weining asked.

Shiina Yuu nodded, and then he said, "I won't stay here for long. I will probably leave the day after tomorrow because I still have some things to deal with."

"Besides...it's dangerous. I don't want to implicate you."

Facing Weining, he chose to tell the truth.

Having faced the World Snake Organization many times, Yuichi Shiina is well aware of the strength and influence of this organization.

If you are not careful, something bad may happen.

Not to mention, if something really happened to him, someone might trace him back to the Heraff Group.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but most of the time he had no choice.

Especially people like them who live in the dark zone.

"What you said should be related to Mikhail's child."

The people of Weining are experienced and shrewd. They learned from Mikhail's occasional replies and thought that Shiina Yuichi was able to find this place.

I had already guessed that these two people should have had contact.

He was also very moved that Mikhail actually fulfilled his promise and found his brother.

"Yes." Shiina Yuichi admitted.

"Then there's no need to worry. You and that kid are both children of the Vyazemsky family. Protecting you is what we adults should do."

"No matter how troublesome your affairs are, can they still lead to World War III?"

"If anyone dares to attack you, it will be a provocation to Graf."

"Child, you have to know that our family has not survived to this day by doing charity."

Wei Ning's words were very domineering, and his every move revealed a murderous aura.

The aura of being in a superior position for a long time was suddenly released.

Shiina Yuichi was not affected at all.

Vyazemsky's children?

Is this what it feels like to be protected?

"I understand, Mr. Weining, but I still want to think about it carefully." Shiina Yuichi raised his head and looked at Weining with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"It's a small matter. If you still have any problems, you can discuss it with me." Wei Ning smiled kindly.

Shiina Yuichi's heart moved slightly, then he stood up and left, at the last second before leaving the study.

A light voice fell into Weining's ears.

"Good night, old man."

Hearing this, Wei Ning looked at the door where Shiina Yuichi was no longer there, with a smile on his face, and two lines of tears flowed down the wrinkles of his old face.
