Ke Ai: Growing up with Xiao Ai

I understood that my fingers were shaking uncontrollably, not because of the cold, but because of the shock of other emotions. However, it is difficult to be frank about satisfying this need due to a certain self-esteem.

The snow that slides down the mountain is soft and not enough for the body to sink into it. When Mourning spotted Conan, she heard cheers, but stopped. She observes Conan from a distance, who is being dug up and embraced. His face, which has lost its color, conveys the coldness without touching it. As Lan hugged Conan firmly, Wailing's lips moved slightly, as if in response.

"He's alive. Sadly, these short 15 minutes must have been unique. She tried to hide the tremor of her fingers, and then exclaimed, "This strong guy. "

Luckily, Conan wasn't injured, just had a slight hypothermia. He was soon treated, so by the evening he was well enough to eat. Despite Lan's constant worries, Conan's attitude is like "business as usual". Conan's physical recovery ability is truly remarkable, perhaps because of the child's dexterity, or because he was originally "Shinichi Kudo". Mourning also believed that Conan was fine.

Mourning silently observed Conan from a distance, and he noticed Mourning's gaze and let out a sigh. Maybe he thought to himself, "I'm done." Wailing guessed, then smiled contemptuously. But at the same time, she feels some guilt for Mimi, a girl who tries to follow Conan despite being a young girl. Mourning has a completely different feeling for "her", which does not make her feel comfortable, but she can't completely ignore it, so she can only hide this feeling deeply.

"Hey," Lan wiped the food from Wai's face, but Wai felt a little shy, blushing completely different from a few hours ago.

"Well, if you recover, that's fine. Wai stopped eating early and left the dining room as she rubbed her already cold hands.

Dreaming of unpleasant things is not uncommon in itself. Deep consciousness may lead to dreams, or it can cause discomfort when you wake up when you are not in a good physical state. But the appearance of the dream made her sweat to this extent, and it felt that the dream was so physically draining, something that had not happened in a long time.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a fright, realizing that her heart was beating fast. Her sweat quickly cooled and robbed her body of heat, so she put on the woolen sweater she had on the bed. She felt warm enough in the air-conditioned room. Then, instead of trying to fall asleep again, she decided to go for a walk indoors to change her mood and replenish the lost water.

It's late at night, there's no one in the lobby, and there's only a service bell at the front desk. She didn't want to see anyone, so she didn't hesitate to sit down in the hall to rest. During the day, it was busy, but now it was quiet, and she sat on the sofa with the bottle of tea she bought on the road in her mouth. She felt a little dry in her throat, far more eager than she realized. At the same time, she remembered what she had just seen. Pure white, like a dream. She searched for a long time, but couldn't find it, the bell rang for 15 minutes, and then all the people around her who had existed disappeared. All that was left was the sound of her own heartbeat, and it was a dream.

She laughed at herself and wondered why she was so simple. However, the dream made her feel uneasy, especially in that situation, and it was strange not to worry. She gripped the water bottle in her hand again.

"You seem to be a worried person. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the wall, and then heard something like this. Not a child's voice, but a familiar one. She looked up at the source of the voice, only to see Conan coming over.

"Did I wake you up, though I tried to come out quietly. "

"...... Are you going to go out when you wake up?"

I'm sleeping until you don't have nightmares. With

that, Conan approached her again and sat down next to her.

The answer was surprisingly direct, and she didn't know how to respond. It's impractical to explain emotional instability, but it's also hard to deceive the great detective. She hesitated, not knowing how to answer. Eventually, she uttered a rambling sentence.

"It's just a nightmare. "

"...... But you called my name?"

She was taken aback and couldn't help but cover her mouth. Why are unconscious words and actions always so defenseless?, she was embarrassed and confused, and was about to make up an explanation when Conan smiled slightly.

"You're lying to me, aren't

you?" "Isn't this just to make you tell you what you mean by

doing?" "It's not detective reasoning, it's the experience and feelings we've accumulated in the time we've been together, isn't it?" She couldn't deny it. She sighed, then agreed. The scene in the dream mixed with the reality just now, and the water bottle she clenched gradually warmed up.

"In that case, it's strange not to worry.

"yes. I'm not that cold either. "

I know. Moreover, you, like Mimi, are always so enthusiastic and always care about others.

Conan let go of her hand and wrapped it around hers. With one hand in the palm of your hand and the other on the back of your hand, you gently patted it a few times.

"Worried, scared, huh?"

Wai felt the heat pass through her skin, but not because of Conan's high temperature, but because her hands were too cold. She thought her fingers were shaking because of the cold, but it wasn't. She thought that if her tears had flowed more easily, she might have cried by now. Or like "her", crying and hugging Conan tightly. But that wasn't her task, Conan already had a priority, and on the other hand, she couldn't express her emotions as innocently as Mimi. With no exit, her emotions float there, nowhere to put them.

"You kid, you're so arrogant.

"What do you say?

Conan responded with an obnoxious smile, but his hand didn't leave.

Normally, she would say such sarcasm with contempt, but now it's hard. She just wanted to enjoy the warmth, even if it felt strange to her.

Her cold fingers began to warm up. It's good that he's still alive.
