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

"It's okay, it's just the first time I taste it, it's a little strange."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ai gave an objective evaluation. From just now, Brother Shanmu has been trying to "feed" her.

At first it was just some French fries dipped in ketchup, but then Brother Shanmu completely let himself go.

French fries dipped in coffee, meat slices in burgers, and now fries dipped in ice cream.

It can only be said that Brother Shanmu seems to enjoy this "feeding" game...

Regarding this, Xiao Ai was a little speechless and even wanted to give Brother Shanmu a look.

But it’s not that annoying, and it’s what Brother Shanmu fed to her!

Thinking of this and taking another bite of French fries, Xiao Ai began to feel that these French fries seemed quite delicious.

(PS: French fries dipped in ice cream, especially chocolate-flavored ice cream, taste really good)

With a light snort, Xiao Ai, who was in a happy mood, ate the "feeding" from Brother Shanmu and glanced at the well-fed kitten in her arms. At this moment, she felt that she should be the happiest person. Bar?

In this regard, Shanmu said:

I am actually the happiest when I can see you so happy.

Considering that there might be some mud on his hands, he did not refuse to "feed" Xiao Ai, and the two of them quickly wiped out all the food on the table.

Looking at the sleeping kitten in front of her, Xiao Ai began to feel confused again.

But because of the brief separation just now, she only struggled for a moment this time, and she mustered up the courage in her heart.

"Brother Shanmu!"

"Ok?"

Shan Mu, who was putting the garbage on the table into the dinner plate, already knew what the girl was going to say after hearing Xiao Wail calling him.

Sure enough, Xiao Ai, who had already made up her mind, was bravely looking into his eyes and said:

"Brother Shanmu, I think... I want to take in this kitten..."

"Brother Shanmu, don't worry, I won't let the kitten cause you any trouble!"

"I will take it to the pet hospital for a check-up later, give it vaccinations, and buy cat food, all of which I can deduct from my pocket money!"

"It's really pitiful, wandering alone on the street. I really don't want to see her repeat that kind of life again..."

"I promise you, Brother Shanmu, I will definitely take good care of this child and won't let it bring parasites or anything like that to the bar. I..."

Seeing that Shanmu had not responded, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but since she had decided to speak, no matter what the cost, she should at least do her best.

However, as she said everything she could guarantee, Xiao Ai's heart inevitably became heavier and heavier.

I was staying in Brother Shanmu's bar, and I had promised Brother Shanmu to do some housework within my ability.

But until now, all I can do is help sweep the floor or prepare some meals...

Now that Bai Bai has to add another burden, I guess it’s normal for Brother Shanmu to refuse...

Her voice became lower and lower, and by the end of the story, Xiao Ai actually wanted to give up.

If it didn't work, she had already made a decision to place the kitten on the street outside the bar. She would save some pocket money every month to buy food for it. If she was rich, she would take the kitten there. Do a checkup.

This is the limit of what she can do...

However, at this moment, a gentle hand gently tapped her forehead.

This caught Xiao Ai off guard and she quickly looked up.

I saw that Shan Mu had taken off his mask at some point and was now squatting on the ground, looking directly at Xiao Ai.

"Fool, would I still refuse you for such a thing? This family is half mine and half yours. If you have such thoughts in the future, you can make your own decision."

"Because this is our home."

There was a "thump", as if something was broken. Xiao Ai's eyes began to blur, and Brother Shanmu's beautiful face was also a little unclear.

After hurriedly wiping it on his face a few times, Xiao Ai lowered his head, said softly "Hmm", and then threw himself into Shan Mu's arms, remaining silent.

Chapter 75 Welcome

After a long time, Xiao Ai sheepishly emerged from Shan Mu's arms, and Xiao Ai picked up the kitten with some embarrassment.

Really, why was I so embarrassed just now!

Brother Shanmu

"Actually, Brother Shanmu, what you said is wrong!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

After getting in the car, Xiao Ai seemed to want to save some face for herself. After placing the kitten on her lap, Xiao Ai raised her head and snorted slightly proudly:

"You are going to find a girlfriend in the future. By then, the bar can't be said to be half of us. You can't just not find a girlfriend, right?"

Chinese fir:"……"

Well, from an unexpected angle, he really didn't know how to answer...

It would seem strange to say that he is not looking for a girlfriend.

If you are looking for it...

You can’t say that the girlfriend you want is you, right?

Hiss, Xiao Ai is still a primary school student now and cannot make mistakes!At least he has to wait until Xiao Ai transforms back into Miyano Shiho before he considers these things!

However, at least my goal should be achieved today, right?

Nodding silently in his heart, Shanmu ruffled Xiao Ai's hair in retaliation, then started the car and drove to the pet hospital.

Now that he decided to adopt this kitten, he had to do what he had to do.

The relevant adoption procedures, examinations at the pet hospital, and subsequent purchases of cat food and cat litter cannot really be allowed to be deducted from Xiao Ai's pocket money, right?

If Xiao Ai is really allowed to deal with it alone, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get through this...

But speaking of it, today's plan went quite smoothly. Xiao Ai should be a little better now than before, right?

At least I am joking with myself like I am today. If I put it in the past, it would never be possible.

Glancing at Xiao Ai who was teasing the kitten in the passenger seat, Shan Mu couldn't help but smile.

The appearance of the kitten was indeed an accident at first, and he did not expect that Xiao Ai would have some resonance with the kitten, but for Shanmu, this should be the best situation at the moment.

As for the preparations he made later, it was more after leaving the pet shop.

First, he took Xiao Ai for a walk around the convenience store while she was in a low mood. At the same time, he slowed down and opened the car window.

Judging from the way the kitten looked, it was very likely that after noticing their tracks, it would follow their car to the fast food restaurant.

Yes, Shanmu was betting that the kitten would have a very keen sense of smell and would have a deep obsession with Xiao Ai.

However, he made the right bet.

As expected, the kitten followed their footsteps and came to the door of the fast food restaurant, and this was the incredible reunion.

The rest is just trivial matters.

For example, after Xiao Ai leaves, he secretly gives some tips to the waiters so that they can turn a blind eye to the kittens.

These are just icing on the cake at best.

But speaking of it, Shan Mu would never fail in this bet no matter what. This was the biggest factor that prompted him to give it a try.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy like now, and the distance between him and Xiao Ai will be one step closer.

If it fails, the worst possible thing is to drive back to the convenience store and take Xiao Ai to find the kitten.

Cats appear in front of convenience stores. Most likely because there are edible lunch boxes in the convenience stores. A considerable number of these lunch boxes are the type that can be eaten by opening the lid.

Japan is a fast-paced society, and most young people actually have very short meal times. Based on this situation, instant lunch boxes have naturally become a common pursuit among young people.

After paying the bill at the convenience store, you can start eating as soon as you walk out of the convenience store. If you don't finish the food, you can throw it in a nearby trash can.

This kind of environment is also the favorite of stray cats and dogs.

Therefore, he only needed to ask around the convenience store, and it wouldn't be too difficult to find the kitten.

Of course, no matter what the situation is, it is enough as long as Xiao Ai can truly be freed from the shackles in her heart. This is the most important thing.

……

When we returned to the bar, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

After a series of examinations were done on the kitten, Shanmu took the kitten to the hospital again the next day. The next thing to do will have to wait until next week.

According to the pet doctor, the kitten is quite healthy, but due to not eating well during this period and being frightened, the kitten is a little weak.

However, if you take good care of yourself for a period of time, you can quickly regain your vitality.

After learning about the kitten's condition, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, although she didn't show anything on the surface, Shanmu knew that she was actually very worried about the kitten's physical condition in her heart.

Now that it was temporarily confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the kitten, Xiao Ai was really happy for a long time.

Even when they returned to the bar to prepare dinner, they saw Shan Mu secretly pouring a glass of wine. Xiao Ai pretended not to see it this time.

Well, I have to say that Xiao Ai was indeed tolerant of him today.

However, drinking secretly is only exciting if there is a possibility of being discovered!

Now that he could drink openly, Shan Mu suddenly felt that the Sugden in front of him didn't smell good.

Finally, the dull Shanmu rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with Xiao Ai.

Although Xiao Ai emphasized many times that she should do more housework and take on her own share of responsibilities, Shan Mu was still able to help her do more.

Sometimes there is a difference between what you say and what you do.

Besides, there will be many opportunities to do it in the future, right?

A simple meal, they made it feel like a candlelight dinner.

Sitting around the table, Xiao Ai realized that Brother Shanmu had poured her a glass of juice at some point.

Under the dim light, this glass of juice looks very similar to red wine.

"Celebrate that we have welcomed our third family member today, cheers." After sitting down, Shan Shu took the lead in raising his glass.
