Conan: Gin, do you want to learn crime from me?

The dark night will eventually pass, and the darkness before dawn will slowly dissipate.

Early the next morning, Shan Mu came back to life from his bed full of blood after a good sleep. The fatigue from yesterday was completely eliminated by him.

Although I have woken up now, it is not too much to stay in bed for a while.

There are still some things that he needs to think about yesterday.

Of course, what Shanmu was thinking about was not about Conan. Although Conan's boy suspected him, it was not important to Shanmu.

The main thing is that Conan can't find key evidence from him. If there is no evidence, everything can only remain a conjecture.

What he was worried about was Xiao Ai's matter.

From the worried look on Xiao Ai's face after she came back last night, it is easy to tell that there is definitely something on her mind.

At this point in time, what Xiao Ai can worry about is either being found by the organization, having her identity exposed, or not knowing how to get along with other people?

I feel that the third possibility is unrealistic. Xiao Ai's character has been led astray by him a lot now, and she is no longer the awkward girl.

The first one is neither right nor wrong. Since Gin came to the bar for the second time, their communication has been basically through text messages on their mobile phones and they have never met in person.

So this possibility should not exist.

Is that an identity issue?

Something doesn't feel right?

After thinking for a while, Shanmu, who was still confused, finally walked out of the room.

Sometimes random thoughts can't answer everything, so he is going to ask in person.

There is nothing more effective than being honest with each other. If anything, it would be more honest!

Speaking of which, Shanmu really hasn't deceived Xiao Ai until now, he just told half of the matter.

After all, he is really just a bar owner, and criminal planner is just a side job...

At this time, the sleepy Xiao Ai was about to open the door to wash up.

Last night, for some reason, she had a very strange dream.

What does this dream say?

Basically, she realized all the things she thought about before going to bed yesterday, especially a certain part that left her speechless.

Thanks to this dream, Xiao Ai felt her heart speed up as soon as she opened the door and saw Brother Shanmu.

This is a very embarrassing feeling, which inevitably makes Xiao Ai feel a little guilty.

But fortunately, Brother Shanmu didn't pay attention. He just asked her if she was used to living here during this period and if she had encountered any trouble.

These problems are quite familiar to Xiao Ai. She has lived with Brother Shanmu for a while. Brother Shanmu usually takes good care of her, so naturally there is no trouble or danger.

If I had to say it, what she was most worried about now was the contact between Brother Shanmu and Gin.

After all, Gin is not a kind person, and Xiao Ai will not simply think that it is just a business dealing with drinks with Brother Shanmu.

I'm afraid what Brother Shanmu is doing now should also be related to Gin.

There were several times when Xiao Ai really wanted to have a good discussion with Brother Shanmu, but every time Brother Shanmu had a reassuring expression on her face, leaving her confused as to what to say.

Gradually, she didn't care so much. At worst, when she and Brother Shanmu confessed their identities in the future, she would persuade him to put aside the relationship with Gin as soon as possible.

Anyway, she has been coming to the bar for so long, and Ginjiu hasn't come to her door yet, which means that Ginjiu has not found any trace of her.

"What's wrong, Brother Shanmu? You suddenly asked me this..."

A little embarrassed, she still didn't dare to look directly into Brother Shanmu's eyes, what should she do...

As soon as she saw Brother Shanmu's unmasked face, she couldn't help but think of the strange dream last night...

No, it's all Conan's fault. If it weren't for him, how could I not dare to look at Brother Shanmu!

(??へ???╬)

Of course, being angry with Conan is one thing, but now he is smiling and pretending that nothing has happened to him, which is another thing.

However, how could the smile she faked hide itself from Shan Mu's eyes?

After waiting for a while, there was no response from Shan Mu. Just when Xiao Ai could not help but look up, suddenly, she heard Shan Mu say to her:

"Please clean up later. Let's go to the pet store to buy a pet you like. Don't you like small animals very much?"

The unreasonable words made Xiao Ai paralyzed on the spot.

She took a step back in surprise, and her eyes met Shan Mu's gaze unconsciously.

Originally, according to her thoughts, she would definitely refuse at this time.

After all, she lives in Brother Shanmu's house and usually doesn't help much. How can she cause trouble to Brother Shanmu by adopting pets because of her problems?

But as soon as they made eye contact, she prepared the line of rejection thousands of times in her heart, but she swallowed it silently without knowing why.

Finally, he almost choked out a "hmm" with a nasal voice that was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito.

As if she was running away, she slipped past Shan Mu and ran to the bathroom, where she finally recovered.

Standing against the door, Xiao Ai patted her somewhat hot cheek, and realized at this moment that she seemed to have agreed to Brother Shanmu to choose a pet together.

Damn it, how could I do this?

I usually cause trouble to Brother Shanmu, so why didn’t I say no just now?

How will this make Brother Shanmu see himself?

Do you think you are a person who has no sense of proportion and likes to push your limits?

But... the look in Brother Shanmu's eyes just now, she really didn't know how to say no...

What should I do...

After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door opened again, and Xiao Ai, who had finished washing, walked out of the bathroom quietly.

"Brother Shanmu, do you really want to buy a pet? If there is no one to take care of it, wouldn't it be good? Otherwise..."

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about this. Although I bought you a pet, I can actually take care of it. And I actually like small animals."

Shanmu smiled. He had already seen through Xiao Ai's heart and did not give the girl much chance to refuse.

Sometimes, shifting your focus from anxiety to other things is the best way to relieve your mood.

What's more, considering it from his point of view, he actually hopes that Xiao Ai can let go of all her wariness. The current state is not enough for him.

Chapter 72 Convenience Store

Soon, the two of them picked out their own clothes and got into the Porsche car.

In fact, when Xiao Ai was riding in the Shanmu car at first, she would always subconsciously walk into the back seat of the car. After all, it was normal for a "child" like her to sit in the back seat.

But for some reason, from the first time she got into Shanmu's car, her brother Shanmu had been leading her to the passenger seat.

After going back and forth, Xiao Ai, who didn't know what it meant, got used to sitting in the passenger seat.

Perhaps this is because Brother Shanmu is usually too lonely. He hopes that there will be someone who can chat with him while he is driving.

Regarding this explanation, Xiao Ai felt that she must have guessed correctly.

She always felt that like Brother Shanmu, she was the kind of person who was very lonely at heart.

If this idea were known to Shanmu, even Shanmu would feel very embarrassed.

This strange concept that I don’t know where it originated has not yet spread to the world of Ke Xue. Only Shan Mu knows about it.

The car drove slowly on the road of Mihua Town. The busy streets were slightly crowded, but the two of them were not in a hurry and enjoyed this rare noisy atmosphere.

In the passenger seat, Xiao Ai was secretly looking at Shan Mu.

Although the influence of the strange dream has almost disappeared now, she still can't blatantly look directly at the fir tree. Now it's not bad to take a sneak peek.

"Xiao Ai."

"what?"

"Are you hungry now? Should we go get some breakfast first?"

"No need, Brother Shanmu..."

Startled, Xiao Ai almost thought that she had been caught peeking at Brother Shanmu, but when Brother Shanmu mentioned it just now, she seemed to be a little hungry.

They were a little anxious when they came out of the bar just now, and since they got up a little late today, they hadn't eaten anything yet, so they originally planned to go straight to lunch later.

But for things like hunger, the more you think about it, the more it will show itself.

Xiao Ai is like this now. It was nothing at first, but after being touched by Shan Mu, her stomach felt more and more hungry...

But the words had already been spoken by her, and it would feel a bit inappropriate to change them at this time.

Therefore, Xiao Ai decided to endure it for a while. It was almost ten o'clock anyway. If he persisted for a while, he could have lunch later.

Having made up her mind, Xiao Ai smiled at Shanmu again and expressed that she was fine. Then she turned and looked outside the car, preparing to use the street view outside the window to distract herself.

At least she didn't have to think about the fact that she was still hungry.

Seeing her like this, Shanmu didn't say anything to persuade her, but secretly laughed at this duplicitous little girl.

After a while, after turning an intersection, Shanmu suddenly drove to a stop in front of a convenience store. Then he turned around and got out of the car, leaving Xiao Ai alone in the car.

When he came back, he had two more bagged blueberry sandwiches in his hand.

"Well, I don't know when we can have lunch later. Xiao Ai, please eat something to fill your stomach first. If you don't eat all the time, it will be bad for your health."

With a slightly embarrassed voice, Shanmu opened the passenger door and handed over both sandwiches.

The coquettish look caught Xiao Ai's eyes, causing Xiao Ai to burst into laughter.

"Thank you, Brother Shanmu, but why are you acting like this, as if I am a bad person?"

While smiling, Xiao Ai opened both bags of sandwiches and handed one of them into Shan Mu's hand.

"I can't eat so much by myself. Brother Shanmu, shall we eat together? (#^.^#)"

"it is good."

In this way, the two people sat in the car and began to slowly enjoy the sandwiches. Just like their trip today, the two of them deliberately enjoyed the slow pace, and even the frequency of eating seemed very slow.

When they were halfway through eating, Shanmu suddenly slapped his forehead and turned around to get out of the car, bringing back two bottles of milk.
