Chapter 64 She was crying and fussing back then
After opening the room at the front desk, Koji Shimizu and Ai Haihara walked into the elevator one after another.
The decoration of the hotel is very luxurious, the elevator space is large, the floor is covered with red velvet carpet, and there is a light and pleasant scent of freshener in the air.
Koji Shimizu was much more relaxed at this moment, or in other words, he was no longer nervous since just now.
Although this group of stalkers came for him, they didn't seem to directly want to kill him.
This point, whether it is the actions of the other party or the fact that no weapons were found after he knocked down the three people and searched them, are some things that can be confirmed.
And now, his only remaining worry is that Hui Yuan Ai will soon be temporarily protected by him in a room.
Thinking of this, Qingshui Koji turned back and glanced at Haibara Ai who had been silent behind him.
What surprised him was that when he turned around, Hui Yuan Ai was staring directly at him. When he turned his head, he didn't avert his gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
Taking the room card, the two of them found the room and opened the door. The luxurious decoration in the room was indeed beautiful, but no one paid attention to it.
After Hui Yuan Ai walked into the room, she sat beside the bed. She lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was brewing and waiting for something.
Shimizu Koji glanced around the room, then opened the door and went out to look at the location of the corridor in relation to the room.
After making sure there was nothing wrong, he turned around, closed the door, and walked into the room again.
"What's wrong with you? It's been a little weird since just now."
As soon as he turned around, he opened his mouth and asked the doubts he had just now.
He is not slow, especially Hui Yuan Ai's performance is very obvious.
And sure enough, after Qing Shuihao finished speaking, Haiyuan Ai, who had his head slightly lowered, immediately raised his face.
Desolate and clear, yet certain.
"You know that, right?"
"Actually, you know Miyano Akemi, or Hirota Masami, she is my sister, and I am her sister."
Qingshui Koji was silent, and Haihara Ai had no intention of stopping, and continued to speak softly:
"I can feel that even though you are not from the organization, you have the same smell as them."
"That - cold contempt for life."
"A person like you would never show such concern for me for no reason, or even subconsciously want to protect me."
"I believe, just like you said, if it weren't for me, those men in black without guns and weapons would not be your opponents at all, and you wouldn't have to run away in such a panic with me."
"Be careful with your words. It's not about running away, it's just about avoiding the edge temporarily."
Qingshui Haoji didn't change his expression, spoke softly, pulled up a chair and sat across from her.
Hui Yuan Ai paused for a moment, and then his eyes became even lower.
"So, you want to repay my sister's care for you, right?"
"If you say yes, then yes." Qingshui Koji followed her.
He wanted to see what Haiyuan Ai wanted to say to him when he suddenly revealed this layer of secrets that was not a secret.
Koji Shimizu was actually not too surprised that Haibara Ai deduced this matter. He would be surprised if the so-called genius female scientist in Mingmei's mouth couldn't deduct it.
He couldn't pretend. Just like Haihara Ai said, he did have that kind of thought.
To this end, he has done some unnecessary things besides protecting.
In addition to the doctor, Conan did not specifically warn him, it would only be a matter of time before he was discovered.
But unexpectedly, what he said while stroking the cat's fur did not seem to have the expected effect. Huihara Ai opposite him lowered his head again, his expression becoming gloomy and uncertain.
Her short brown hair blocked her eyes, and also blocked Koji Shimizu's view of her emotions.
Hui Yuan Ai tightly grasped the hem of the windbreaker with both hands. Her white and delicate little hands looked very strong at the moment.
Shimizu Koji suddenly had an ominous premonition, which came from not long ago.
"Why. Why didn't you save your sister even though you were so strong?"
Two lines of crystal tears slid down Hui Yuan Ai's cheeks, one drop at a time, falling on the chest and hem of her windbreaker.
Her voice was trembling, and she was choked with uncontrollable crying, but she still tried her best to endure it.
"Did you not notice even the slightest sign in that half-year period when you were so strong and alert?"
"Why! Why on earth!? I don't need such care from you! Save my sister—!"
Qingshui Koji's clothes were grabbed by Haihara Ai, or in other words, Haihara Ai threw himself on Qingshui Koji's chest.
Her grief was like a flood that broke a dam and was out of control. Her two small hands tightly grasped the skirt of Shimizu Koji's clothes and refused to let go.
"Stop it."
But Qingshui Koji didn't pay attention to his clothes that were soaked with tears and even messed up. He spoke softly and at the same time reached out and stroked the hair on the back of Haihara Ai's head.
A feeling of guilt suddenly arose in his heart. He had not felt this kind of emotion for a long time.
He had only ever thought about it from Mingmei's perspective, but not from this poor girl's perspective.
Although, this has an inseparable relationship with his character, because in the eyes of Koji Shimizu, Akemi is like the sister next door who kindly took care of him, while Haibara Ai is just Akemi's sister. Nothing more.
But now, the fact before him is that his previous choice was undoubtedly a mistake.
Shimizu Koji was not very good at dealing with emotional matters. He felt that he was protecting and taking care of her.
But now it seems that he is still too cold, at least, to this girl who is crying in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept this from you."
"Your sister is still alive, I told you. But, I will tell you the rest when I come back."
Qingmizu Koji patted Haibara Ai on the back. His tone was very calm, with a touch of tenderness that he himself could not detect.
This may have a lot to do with the bonus point of a little girl's body shape. Many times, Koji Shimizu is actually not able to treat Haibara Ai as an adult, especially now.
After hearing his words, Hui Yuan Ai's delicate body was suddenly shaken.
She raised her little face that was already crying in disbelief. Even though the tears were still spilling out, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe them away, and then looked at Shimizu Koji.
Sadness, confusion, ignorance, shock, hope, enthusiasm.
Her ice-blue eyes were trembling at the moment, and the water was crystal clear, which was particularly touching. Koji Shimizu never thought that she would really look like such a pitiful little girl.
Naked heart, no reservations.
"Really, really?"
"It's a long story, but I'm not going to lie to you."
Qingshui Koji smiled slightly and reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes.
Huihara Ai finally came back to her senses and relaxed a little bit with her small hand that was tightly grasping the lapel of Qingshui Koji's clothes.
"I have to deal with those who are following you first. You'd better call the doctor and ask him to take you back."
Shimizu Koji stood up and quickly regained his composure.
Although Haiyuan Ai was still a little dazed at this time, there was already a lot of brilliance in his eyes that he had never seen before.
She wiped her tears and cried uncontrollably for the first time since she became a child. Suddenly, it ended with a sweet dream that Koji Shimizu had woven for her.
"Well, I, I understand."
"You, you really"
"Really, when you turn around, I will take you to see your sister."
Qingmizu Koji nodded. He didn't want to tell all about Mingmei's situation at this time.
But it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
He was a little scared. If Hui Yuan Ai cried again, he would not be able to leave this room to solve the troubles that might come to his door at any time.
He had never found himself so soft-hearted before. Perhaps it was not only because of guilt, but also not just because of Haibara Ai's identity.
Haibara Ai herself seems cute enough, just like Ayumi.
Although Koji Shimizu is a bit cold-blooded, he is not too sentimental. He is also a normal young man who can certainly appreciate cute and beautiful things.
"You, be careful."
"Um."
