Chapter 252 You are the beauty in this world, always shine
Ten years later.
I slept for a long time.
Hui Yuan Ai opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in confusion for a while before she woke up.
She turned over and looked to the side.
The guy who talked about taking care of me when he had a cold last night is not here now.
However, this was something she had known for a long time. After all, she woke up when the guy got up, and then went back to sleep.
She just wanted to take a look.
"satyr…"
After muttering softly, Hui Yuan Ai covered his mouth and yawned.
Then she reached out from the quilt and picked up the mobile phone beside the bed.
There is also an old-looking shark charm hanging on the phone. Although she has had many mobile phone charms over the years, she still has a soft spot for the first one in her life.
Turning on the phone screen and looking at the time, Haihara Ai was a little surprised to find that it was almost ten o'clock.
I actually slept for so long...
Neither Kudo nor the doctor called me, was it because they thought I had a cold and wanted me to take a good rest?
Really, I’ve already told him that it’s almost done, and I still have class today…
Haihara Ai stood up while thinking about it, then stretched comfortably and stretched his well-developed body. The youthfulness of a high school girl is clearly revealed in her body.
Yes, she has grown up.
The organization had been destroyed ten years ago, and their original identities were only known to a handful of trusted people and had not been leaked.
At the same time, she also successfully developed an antidote that can permanently restore the body and an antidote that allows them to grow normally when they look like elementary school students.
Edogawa Conan chose the former for Maori Ran, and she chose the latter with Maplehara. So she and Maplehara grew from elementary school students to high school students smoothly.
During this period, Maplehara also gained a new identity and became the child secretly born to Kudo Yusaku and his wife when they were in the United States.
Although some things didn't make sense, Yukiko Kudo was enthusiastic and persistent about it, and Yusaku Kudo also agreed deeply, so after spending some effort, they successfully completed the matter.
After that, because Kudo Yusaku and his wife still liked to travel around the world, and the doctor was reluctant to let them leave, Maplehara continued to live in the doctor's house.
The same goes for Haihara Ai.
She pressed her face gently, and couldn't help but think of Fengyuan's mischief last night, and felt her face feeling a little hot. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief, then put on the high school uniform lying beside the bed, opened the curtains, walked out of the bright room, and prepared to wash up.
What was reflected in the bathroom mirror was a girl as gorgeous as a flying flower, with a beautiful figure. Speaking of which, she is almost the same as Shiho Miyano before she became a child...
"Oh, who is this girl in the mirror? She's so cute~" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, "Sister, I can't bear it anymore..."
"You are also in the mirror. Are you praising yourself?"
Huihara Ai did not look back, but spoke directly to the person who appeared in the mirror. The other person has long black hair, and his bright eyes are full of gentle smiles.
"Yes, who am I talking about..." The man pointed his finger at his chin, smiling, "Ah, I remember, it's -"
She paused.
"——Shiho-chan!"
Miyano Akemi stood on tiptoe, tilted her body slightly and rushed towards Haibara Ai, hugged her, and rubbed her face with her head.
This offensive was too fierce, and Hui Yuan Ai couldn't bear it, so he tilted his head and moved away, but did not refuse the hug.
"Sister," Haiyuan Ai asked, "Why are you here?"
Today was a working day, she was going to school, and her sister also had to work, so she asked.
"Of course I came to see Shiho! Really, I've been waiting here alone for a long time..."
"Alone? Where's the Doctor?"
"He hurried out not long after I arrived. He must have gone on a date with Aunt Fusae, right?" Miyano Akemi took Haihara Ai's arm and pulled her out of the bathroom together, "Your Kudo was a doctor before He went out and the refrigerator was empty. He went to buy some things and came back..."
It turns out that Kudo didn’t go to school either…
"What about you, sister? Aren't you going on a date?"
"I thought you didn't like the Maharaja..."
Daijun refers to Morohoshi Dai, which is the pseudonym Akai Shuichi used when he was undercover in the organization. Because she was used to being called this way, Miyano Akemi herself didn't want to change it, so this title has continued to this day.
"I don't like him," Haiyuan Ai replied, "I wasn't happy ten years ago. Sister, you still wanted to be with him..."
After Miyano Akemi regained her identity, Akai Shuichi also deliberately changed his Japanese nationality. After all, he and Miyano Akemi were actually cousins.
Despite this, Haibara Ai still had a negative opinion of Akai Shuichi because of his use of his sister's undercover organization and Judy's affairs, but in the end she chose the same attitude as Maplehara -
Respect sister Mingmei’s own choice.
In other words, forget it.
Sister, just be happy.
"My Majesty, there is nothing he can do..."
"I've heard this many times. Forget it, sister, who made you so stupid? Then what? Are you going to get into trouble again?"
"Damn it, you actually called your sister stupid..." Miyano Akemi tried to squeeze Haihara Ai's ridiculously delicate face.
"Are you really at odds?" Hui Yuan Ai struggled and asked.
My sister avoided talking about the following words, which shows that she was right about the matter. But this is not the first time, so Hui Yuan Ai is not very worried.
"No." Miyano Akemi quickly denied, "Don't talk about me, there is still some egg porridge in the kitchen, why don't you eat some first?"
She quickly pushed Haiyuan Ai onto the stool, and Haiyuan Ai had no choice but to sit quietly and watch Miyano Akemi run away to serve herself porridge.
The porridge was still warm and had been placed in a heat-insulating vessel.
"Xiao Kong's craftsmanship is really good." Miyano Akemi praised her sister as she picked up the spoon and started eating. She had already eaten.
"He has been studying for a long time..."
Hui Yuan Ai started eating in small bites. The familiar taste filled her lips and teeth, making her feel better.
Fengyuan also learned to cook in the past ten years. Although his skill can only be said to be average, he is quite good at some of her favorite dishes.
Miyano Akemi also sat down, sitting opposite Haibara Ai with her chin propped up, looking at her quietly and tenderly.
"It's great," Miyano Akemi said after Haihara Ai had almost finished eating, "You two have been inseparable for so many years, and your relationship is still so good..."
"Sometimes we quarrel," Haiyuan Ai put down the spoon, "So, sister, you are still having trouble, right?"
"No!"
"Then why did you say that..."
"No, it means no! My relationship with the Great Lord is so good!"
"Then when are you going to get married?"
Penetrate armor.
Miyano Akemi showed a melancholy expression.
"I don't know how long it will take for him to propose marriage. Really, if Dr. A Li hadn't been here, I would have thought he was the most outrageous man in the world..."
"I get angry when I talk about doctors." Haiyuan Ai agreed deeply.
"By the way," Miyano Akemi suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, it's really too much. You didn't even tell me such an important thing..."
"what?"
"It's about you and Xiao Kong."
"What's the matter between me and him?" Hui Yuan Ai was a little confused.
Are you saying that you are dating him?
But she and Kudo have been dating since the first grade of elementary school, and her sister has known about it for a long time, so this is definitely not what they are talking about.
What are the other things?
"Of course..." Miyano Akemi smiled evilly.
Haiyuan Ai had a bad premonition in her heart.
Thinking of something, she turned towards the door and noticed several unpacked express boxes on the cabinet next to her.
Hui Yuan Ai's expression changed instantly.
"Sister! How can you open someone else's express delivery!"
"Sorry, sorry," Miyano Akemi apologized with her hands clasped together, but her eyes were full of smiles, "The doctor asked me to help open his express delivery before he left, but I opened it all without looking carefully..."
"elder sister!"
"So when did you do that?"
"W-what that and this..."
"I still want to hide it from my sister!" Miyano Akemi stood up and leaned forward with her hands on her hips to look at Haibara Ai. Her mind was full of gossip, "But you two have such a good relationship and live together, so this is normal..."
Hui Yuan Ai didn't reply, and quickly stood up and ran towards the door. She hurriedly closed one of the express boxes, then hugged the box and ran back to her room.
It’s all Kudo’s fault. He insists on buying things online even though he can easily buy them in convenience stores or supermarkets...
After pressing her cheeks and waiting for the temperature on her face to drop a little, Haibara Ai walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
Miyano Akemi stood nearby, looking like an interrogator.
"It seems you are not going to tell the truth?"
"...What are you talking about, sister?" Haiyuan Ai showed an innocent expression.
Pfft.
Miyano Akemi couldn't help laughing.
Shiho's acting skills are really getting better and better.
Miyano Akemi also knew that her sister was actually very thin-skinned, so she didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. After all, she had gained quite a lot today.
She thoughtfully changed the subject.
"Forget it, it's not too early," she looked at the time, "Xiao Kong will be back soon, let's go prepare the ingredients first?"
Now that they are here, she plans to cook lunch with them, which is why Fengyuan goes out to do shopping.
"Is it okay?" Hui Yuarai breathed a sigh of relief, "If you don't go back at noon..."
"It's okay, he has something to do today and will eat lunch outside," Miyano Akemi replied, "Don't worry about him..."
Because of his previous identity, it was difficult for Akai Shuichi to join the Japanese police, and he had no interest in being an ordinary policeman.
However, after joining the Kudo Detective Agency, he cooperated with Japanese police officer Rei Furitani, so he had a lot of things to deal with.
"What about Shiliang?" Haiyuan Ai then asked.
"She and her aunt went to Kyoto to investigate the case. Anyway, it's just the three of us at noon today. Do you want it to be more lively, Shiho?"
"No, I just saw you going shopping with great fanfare..."
Just as she was talking, she heard the door opening.
"I'm back."
Fengyuan opened the door and walked in, carrying many bags in his hands.
He heard the sound in the living room before entering the door, so after entering, he looked directly at where Haiyuan Ai was.
After all, he hadn't seen her for a while.
But Hui Yuan Ai just snorted and turned her head to avoid his sight, looking a little emotional.
However, Fengyuan, who already knew Haiyuan Ai very well from the inside out, also knew very well that she was not really angry.
Of course, you still need to coax.
"Welcome back!" Miyano Akemi glanced at her sister slightly, then turned her head and responded, and then laughed again.
She quickly ran over to help take the bag from Fengyuan's hand.
"What's wrong with Haiyuan?" Fengyuan asked in a low voice while taking advantage of the handover.
"How do I know about your affairs..." Miyano Akemi's eyes were still full of smiles, "You must have made her angry anyway..."
Feng Yuan blinked, glanced at the cabinet next to him from the corner of his eye, and immediately understood the reason. Several express packages on the cabinet were all opened, except for the one he bought...
Coupled with what Sister Mingmei said just now...
It turned out to be shy.
So cute…
Feng Yuan changed his shoes and then walked directly to Hai Yuan Ai.
"Haiyuan?"
"What's wrong?" It wasn't enough to ignore him, so Haibara Ai still turned to look at him, and then prepared to criticize him for online shopping.
But then she was attacked.
The touch on her lips made her pupils dilate for a moment, and then returned to normal.
After all, she was used to it.
Then she reached out and hugged Fengyuan and responded.
After a long time, the lips parted.
Only then did Hui Yuan Ai come back to her senses and looked around in a panic, with a blush still on her face, "Sister, sister is still here..."
"No way..." Fengyuan said, "Sister Mingmei has already gone to the kitchen..."
Although he realized that Sister Mingmei was actually peeping there.
However, his Huiyuan is really easy to coax...
And although her sister must have seen the scene just now, as the saying goes, she did not see her sister now, so Haihara Ai was still a little relieved.
Still holding Feng Yuan and looking at him with eyes that couldn't be moved, she asked, "You didn't go to school either?"
"Don't worry about you being at home alone. I had already asked for leave before Sister Mingmei came, so I won't go."
"I'm not a child..."
"Okay," Miyano Akemi's voice came from the kitchen, "Now that you're tired of it, why don't you come and help your poor sister?"
Miyano Akemi couldn't stand it anymore.
These two are obviously inseparable every day, but they are still so annoying, and they do it in front of him. It's really too much!
She decided to raise her profile.
Next, the three of them made lunch together.
Although his own cooking skills were not worth mentioning in front of these two people, Feng Yuan's knife skills were unique, so he also played his role.
Not long after they started eating, Miyano Akemi received a phone call.
However, Miyano Akemi neither answered nor hung up directly. Instead, she turned off the sound and put the phone where she could see it.
"..."
"Okay, then-"
"You'd better answer it quickly," Haiyuan Ai said helplessly, "If you wait a little longer, even if the other party doesn't hang up, the call will be over..."
"Y-really?"
"Yes." Feng Yuan agreed.
Miyano Akemi answered the phone with some embarrassment. As Maplehara and Haibara Ai thought, it was Shuichi Akai calling on the other end of the phone.
He made a reservation at a restaurant, but he forgot about it because he was busy with work. Only then did he remember it, and he called Miyano Akemi anxiously.
The price is that he coaxed her for a long time.
Of course, Miyano Akemi was not really angry, so after hanging up the phone, she hesitated.
"Go quickly," Hui Yuan Ai simply stood up and urged her troubled sister, "I don't want you to complain in the future that I delayed you..."
"Really, Shiho, do you think your sister is this kind of person?" Miyano Akemi was a little dissatisfied and glanced at the food on the table, "Besides, I haven't eaten much of the food I worked so hard to cook... "
"Here," Fengyuan said, "we can help with food."
"That's right!"
"..."
It would be a few minutes before Akai Shuichi came to pick her up, so Miyano Akemi stubbornly ate some first.
And because Akai Shuichi had already booked a hotel and it was difficult to disturb their time, Maplehara and Haibara Ai did not keep him to dine here, but sent Miyano Akemi and Akai Shuichi away.
"Really," Haiyuan Ai closed the door and couldn't help complaining to Feng Yuan, "Why are there such careless guys around us?"
So familiar...
"Yeah, especially the Doctor."
Feng Yuan nodded seriously in agreement.
The two of them ate for a while afterwards, because they had just drank egg porridge not long ago, and Hui Yuan Ai felt full quickly. Then they cleared the table and tableware together, and the two of them, who had nothing to do, decided to go to the school to have a look.
It's still time for club activities.
The midday sun was a little dazzling, and Haihara Ai couldn't help but squint his eyes.
In the past ten years, many changes have taken place in the neighborhood. For example, the trees nearby have grown much taller, and many new buildings have appeared around it.
They have witnessed these changes together.
On the way, they also passed a shopping mall. On the big screen outside the shopping mall, a TV station was interviewing the famous detective Hattori Heiji and his wife and assistant Hattori Kazuha.
Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai stopped here and looked at it for a while.
"There has been a lot of discussion on fertility issues on the Internet recently. Detective Hattori, what do you think?" the reporter on the screen asked.
"I told you, I'm a detective, not a critic!" Hattori Heiji, in a shiny black suit and leather boots, was a little impatient.
"Then do you have any plans to have children?" The reporter turned to look at Hattori and Ye, who were wearing professional attire.
"Eh? Who, who would want to have a child with a guy like this!"
"Idiot! Don't answer questions casually!"
The two people on the screen started to argue. The reporter on the side did not stop them, but looked like they had everything under control. The ratings skyrocketed.
"They are still the same..." Huihara Ai commented.
That said, in fact, they and Hattori Heiji hadn't seen each other for only a few weeks. It is worth mentioning that Hattori and Kazuha got married four years ago, and the wedding was on the same day as Kudo Shinichi and Xiaoran's wedding.
To be precise, they were held together.
In fact, Hattori Heiji originally wanted to wait for Maplehara's wedding, but because the wait took too long, he reluctantly gave up the idea after Maplehara helped persuade him.
Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai also attended the wedding together.
They have kept in touch over the years, and they have experienced the bickering between Hattori and Kazuha many times, so after watching for a while, Maplehara and Haibara Ai left here.
Arriving at Didan High School and entering through the familiar gate, there were also people on the road who were familiar with them. As the core members of the famous juvenile detective team, they are very famous in the school.
Many people greeted them on the road, and they responded one by one, and then came to the club building together.
Soon they came to the classroom used for club activities. There was a small, delicate metal sign on the door of the classroom, which read "Detective Department" in gold letters.
Feng Yuan opened the door, and Hai Yuan Ai let go of his hand, then tilted her head and touched his head lightly before walking in.
One of the curtains in the classroom was open, and the sunlight coming in was a bit dazzling, making Haihara Ai couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Xiao Ai! Feng Yuan!"
A familiar voice came.
Yoshida Ayumi rushed towards Haibara Ai with a happy face, took her arm and pulled her towards the table.
Kaedehara didn't take it seriously that Haibara Ai received a much warmer welcome than he did. Instead, he sat in his seat after saying hello to Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta.
"Xiao Ai, have you recovered from your cold?" Ayumi turned slightly to look at Haihara Ai's face, trying to judge her physical condition through her complexion.
"Well, it's ready."
"Great!" Ayumi said happily, "We are really worried! We were just discussing going to the doctor's house to see you..."
"Yes," Mitsuhiko agreed, "but you have to have a good rest! Don't be brave!
"By the way, Haiyuan——"
"I've already had lunch. I have a good meal every day. And I'm not interested in eel rice."
"Huh?" Genta was stunned for a moment, and touched his head in confusion, "How did you know that I wanted to treat you to eel rice?"
"Genta, all you can think about is eel rice!" Mitsuhiko said.
"Yeah yeah…"
"I said, you should also pay a little attention to me." Fengyuan emphasized his presence.
"Ah, that's right! The report on that case has already come out!" Ayumi remembered something, picked up the newspaper in front of Mitsuhiko and put it between Haibara Ai and Fengyuan.
On the front page was a photo of their teenage detective team.
"The Young Detective Team wins!"
"Thanks to Maplehara, I immediately thought that the prisoner might be a taxi driver!"
"Because the murderer is completely imitating the plot of the Sherlock Holmes story." Maplehara said modestly.
A few days ago, several strange dead people appeared in the Rice Flower Market. The dead people seemed to have committed suicide by taking medicine, and they were not related in any way.
There were some familiar plots, and there were no traces of being tied up on the deceased. In addition, it was difficult to send the alive victim to a completely unrelated remote place without attracting attention. Maplehara guessed that the murderer might be A taxi driver.
After retrieving information from the taxi company and some road cameras, the Takagi Police Department quickly locked onto the prisoner.
They had no new cases today and soon started chatting.
"Where are you going after graduation?"
"Yes, you and Haibara were not here this morning. Teacher Wakasa asked us to think about this issue carefully!"
"In my case," Maplehara replied, "of course I will go to college, and then go to Kudo Detective Agency..."
The Kudo Detective Agency was naturally opened by Kudo Shinichi.
It has multiple detective partners in the form of a law firm, including Akai Shuichi, Sera Masumi, and Akai Mari, who just graduated from college.
Kaedehara Sora, or Kudo Sora is also one of them.
Maplehara has no intention of starting a new business. He is not short of money.
Of course, Haibara Ai is also planning to go to college with Maplehara, and the main thing is to experience a normal life.
"Ayumi also wants to go to Kudo Detective Agency in the future!"
After Genta and Mitsuhiko expressed their thoughts, Ayumi also expressed her thoughts.
Haihara Ai looked at Ayumi with some worry.
"It's okay," Ayumi understood what Haihara Ai was worried about. They had talked about this before, "I didn't want to go find Conan..."
Edogawa Conan apparently followed the Edogawa couple to settle in the United States. He also said that Conan and Maplehara were not really twins, but just relatives who happened to be very similar. But the keen Ayumi still vaguely guessed that Conan is actually the current Kudo Shinichi.
However, once some people miss it, they will never have the opportunity again, even if they can meet again.
Ayumi then explained in a low voice, "I just think it would be fun to work with good friends! Xiao Ai, you will go too, right?"
"Yes." Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
She actually plans to continue being a scientist. But now times have changed, and she can conduct scientific research and command a team even at home, so she doesn't really have any ideas about her career.
Time continues to flow.
They agreed to eat eel rice another day. After school, they dispersed and went back to their homes. Haibara Ai was dragged by Maplehara to eat in a restaurant outside.
The weather also changed at any time, and soon there was thunder.
Thunder pierced the sky.
However, they still rushed to the reserved restaurant before the heavy rain fell——
"Lookout restaurant?"
Haihara Ai looked at the environment of the restaurant with some curiosity.
Although that dream happened ten years ago, when she was there now, she vaguely felt that the decoration here looked almost exactly the same as in that dream.
In fact, what happened today also gave her a vague sense of déjà vu. However, the direction of things was completely different, so she was not too worried. Instead, her heart beat faster because she guessed something.
"Whose credit card did you bring this time?" Sitting on a familiar seat, Haibara Ai looked at Maplehara who was studying the menu.
"Mom's. She also called to help reserve the seat."
Hui Yuan Ai glanced around subconsciously.
"Don't worry, she's not here," Fengyuan said. "If nothing else, she should be waiting for us at the doctor's house now..."
Kudo Yusaku should be the same.
Haibara Ai was not the only one who guessed what would happen next.
Haiyuan Ai just looked at Fengyuan deeply.
After eating a few dishes, she felt a little full, and then she quietly looked at Fengyuan's face reflected on the glass, slightly lost in thought.
"Want to hear a story?" Fengyuan asked.
Hui Yuan Ai turned around, supporting her chin with one hand and looking at Feng Yuan.
She looked into his eyes carefully and saw a sly smile on the girl in those eyes: "I don't want to."
She couldn't wait any longer.
"It's just right," Fengyuan couldn't help but laugh softly, "Actually, I don't have a story to tell, I just asked casually..."
He stood up.
Hui Yuan Ai leaned slightly.
He held a delicate small box in his hand.
The lid of the box was open and contained a ring.
Haiyuan Ai just glanced at the ring and stopped looking at it. Instead, she stared at Fengyuan closely.
In her sight, just like in the story, he walked to his female companion, knelt down on one knee, and said to her seriously——
"ich liebe dich."
Hui Yuan Ai spoke softly with him.
Feng Yuan's eyes were shining. He quietly looked at the miraculously cute girl in front of him, and after a long while he said:
"Let's get married, Haiyuan."
Hui Yuarai tilted her head slightly and looked into his eyes, not hiding the joy in her eyes at all.
"OK."
She held out her hand.
He held her hand, carefully helped her put the ring on, and then took out another ring to put on his hand.
However, Haihara Ai immediately took the ring and took care of it.
"However," Haiyuan Ai touched the ring on her hand, looked at Feng Yuan and said softly, "we haven't reached the age of marriage yet."
The marriage age for Japanese men and women has been adjusted to eighteen.
In order to enroll in school, her apparent age was reduced by one year, so she was just as young as Feng Yuan.
"We will be old enough by the time we graduate," Fengyuan blinked. "We will also need time to prepare for the wedding."
"Ah, Mr. Detective is so thoughtful..."
"Because I'm always thinking about it when I'm dreaming..."
The proposal went as smoothly as expected. Fengyuan sat back in his seat with peace of mind, holding his head and looking at Haibara Ai across from him.
I feel like I can’t get enough.
Huihara Ai also looked at him like this, feeling his familiar and gentle gaze.
The current scene and the thunder outside made her feel like she was back in a dream.
Time seems to go back ten years ago.
"Kudo..." Haihara Ai shouted softly, so quietly that only she could hear it.
"I am here."
