Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 59 The first psychological game

When Koji Shimizu returned home, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I put down my schoolbag and went back to my room to change into regular clothes, the phone rang.

The caller number was Dr. A Li’s home phone.

——"Come and eat."

Four cold words, not even willing to add any modal particles or honorifics.

Not willing to wait for Koji Shimizu's response, he hung up the phone directly.

"Xiao Ai, have you called Hao Er?"

While Dr. A Li was busy in the kitchen bar, he turned back to Haihara Ai in the hall and asked.

"After the fight, he said he would come back later."

"Oh, that's good, haha, please."

"No trouble."

Hui Yuarai shook his head, put down the phone, and walked toward the kitchen in his slippers.

In fact, if it weren't for her height, she would be the chef.

This was not the first time she called Shimizu Koji over for dinner, so she didn't say much, just a routine announcement.

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang, and Dr. A Li was a little surprised, "Haoji came so quickly today? Haha, it seems you have to call him, Xiao Ai."

Dr. A Li smiled and glanced at Haibara Ai who had just walked to the door of the kitchen bar.

"When dealing with a guy with his personality, all you need to do is inform him."

Haihara Ai said casually, seeming to have figured out Qingshui Koji's character through his words, and turned around and walked towards the door.

"Haha, what is Koji's character? It's true. Xiao Ai, you saw it accurately. Shinichi and I misunderstood that he had some psychological problems at first. Hahaha."

"So all it takes is a notification."

Haiyuan Ai's tone was calm. As he spoke, he twisted the door handle and opened the door.

Haibara Ai, who was originally planning to turn around and leave after opening the door, couldn't help but stopped after seeing clearly Koji Shimizu at the door.

"What are you—?"

"new Year's gift."

? ?
  Haiyuan Ai was a little confused, but looking at Qingshui Koji's calm and undistracted eyes, she hesitated and reached out to catch it.

Although it was a beautiful opaque handbag, Haihara Ai just took a look inside and already roughly knew what the gift was.

She is currently preparing to buy a newly launched Prada bag, and she seems to have two pieces of clothing.
  When he turned around, Shimizu Koji had already walked in and was chatting with Dr. Agasa. He looked at the handbag in his hand and then at Shimizu Koji. Haibara Ai's ice-blue pupils were slightly condensed, quite puzzled.

She carried the bag, closed the door, and walked towards Shimizu Koji.

"Haoer, did you buy a New Year's gift for Xiao Ai?"

Dr. A Li's surprised tone was filled with relief.

Although Qingmizu Koji has always behaved well, he is actually quite worried that Qingmizu Koji is just hiding his inner thoughts. In fact, just like Conan, he has no intention of accepting Xiao Ai's existence.

"Yes. Tomorrow is the New Year. What Xiao Ai said last time reminded me of some past events. She should actually feel quite insecure here."

"She may still have not gotten over the shadow of losing her sister. I can probably understand some of her feelings, and I am sorry for some things."

The second sentence was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to be heard by Hui Yuan Ai, who was approaching them.

Sure enough, the clatter of footsteps paused for a moment, then he turned around and walked towards the sofa with his handbag in hand.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to coldly ask Shimizu Koji why later.

Dr. Ali thought for a while after hearing this. Although he didn't quite understand what Koji Shimizu said, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "Koji, I didn't expect you."

Shimizu Koji chuckled and shook his head. He knew that he might have suddenly been promoted to a higher level in the eyes of the doctor. But if Haibara Ai wasn't Sister Mingmei's sister, he wouldn't bother to care about it. At least, he shouldn't be willing to part with so much money.
  Just like in love, it is difficult for a living person to defeat a dead person. Most of the time, feelings are the same.

As Mingmei's sleep grows longer, her image in Koji Shimizu's heart naturally continues to rise as her memory deepens.

Last time at Professor Hirota's house, when he last saw the flash of tears on Haibara Ai's face, Shimizu Koji thought for a long time whether to tell her about her sister.

But when I think about what might happen after talking about it - a cold little loli collapses and throws herself on the hospital bed crying and fussing, or she visits her every day without saying a word, there is a risk of exposure.

If she even watched her sister turn into a vegetative state, she might lose her last hope of living well.

Although Koji Qingmizu understood that these were all excuses, he was not qualified to decide whether Haibara Ai should meet her sister or not.

But he thought from Mingmei's perspective. As a sister, he must hope that her sister can live well in this world even without her.

"Thank you."

When Hui Yuan Ai walked into the kitchen bar again, she said a subtle thank you.

"Ok?"

Koji Shimizu, who was chatting with Dr. Ali, naturally didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Haibara Ai in confusion.

"Thank you."

This time, Huihara Ai did not act like she was rejecting others thousands of miles away like before, but instead repeated it clearly.

It's just that she still didn't look at Shimizu Koji, because just now Shimizu Koji said something verbose about apologizing. Although he might have wanted her to accept the gift with more peace of mind, she was afraid that she couldn't help it.

But Qingmizu Koji didn't know what Haihara Ai was thinking at this time, and the apology he said was actually referring to Mingmei's matter.

Therefore, at this time, he only felt that even Haihara Ai's bad and cold character would undergo some changes because of the gift.

Plan - pass?
  Shimizu Koji nodded in agreement.

The rice is ready very quickly. It is a rare curry rice. You know, making curry at home is quite time-consuming and laborious.

Dr. A Li has never done this before. Even if he did, he would probably just buy curry ingredients from outside, and the difference would be huge.

Apart from anything else, the arrival of Xiao Ai made the two of them, a lonely old man and a single young man, have a qualitative leap in their dietary standards.

"Haha, Haoji, come and try it. This is my fried pork chop. It's a rare delicacy when paired with curry."

On the table, Dr. Agasa cut half of the large pork chop on the table and put it on Koji Shimizu's plate with a smile.

Shimizu Koji did not refuse, nodded and prepared to taste it.

But what neither of them noticed was that Haibara Ai, who was sitting next to Dr. Ali, had her eyes fixed on the pork chop.

"Kala——"

There was a crisp sound like the collision of chopsticks and ironware. Hearing the sound, Shimizu Koji looked up and saw the other half of the golden pork chop flying slowly towards his plate.

"Dr. Ali, starting from today, I think you need to pay attention to your dietary structure."

Xiao Ai's actions and her emotionless voice stunned both people at the table.

Dr. A Li opened his mouth. He was completely confused. He seemed to understand a little bit. But as soon as he understood a little, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He didn't want to be a starving man who understood.

"If your obesity continues, it will kill half of your life at any time. As a scientist, don't you understand?"

Haibara Ai's tone was still cold, but unexpectedly, she was indeed concerned about Dr. A Li's health.

But at first glance, it sounds like a feeling of coldness on the outside and heat on the inside, and a harsh feeling of caring about others for the first time.

"Ah, I, but, but."

Dr. Ren Ali's extremely clever mind would never have imagined that such a thing would happen.

His old eyes were watery, and he hesitated to speak. He looked pitifully at the golden pork chop on Koji Shimizu's plate.

But in order to prevent Xiao Ai's attempt to actively integrate with them from failing this time, Dr. A Li swallowed his saliva and finally did not persist.

However, he obviously subconsciously ignored a question, or in other words, a sentence
  starting today.
