Chapter 152 He Is Still Not Honest Enough (Important Chapter)
But after Koji Shimizu's words fell, the atmosphere became cold almost quickly, as if it had suddenly arrived in the middle of winter with falling snow.
The last words of Shimizu Koji, to today's Haibara Ai, who had even thought about it seriously just now, seemed to be the sentence that revealed the purpose of everything Shimizu Koji had done before.
She is very funny.?
In fact, even Shimizu Koji's words before that, "Be a girlfriend or something", actually did not cause any special reaction in Haibara Ai's heart.
After a minute of silence, Hui Yuarai lowered her head, her bangs and sideburns blocking her and all eyes directed towards her.
She sat on Koji Shimizu's lap, put her hands on her legs, and held the hem of her skirt with a little force.
"I misjudged you, Shimizu Koji."
"You're not just self-righteous, you're arrogant, extremely arrogant! What I said and done is just because I don't want that guy Conan to notice my sister's existence in the future, because I trust you."
"Don't think about it any more. I know better than anyone else. APTX4869, it's impossible for me to make the antidote by myself. I'm destined to be like this."
"So, it's impossible for me to fall in love with you!"
"As for those previous words, if you really take them seriously, then I will indeed be very disappointed. Because like Edogawa, you are just an ordinary high school student full of childish love and extra hentai thoughts."
"You always think that you can easily see through dangers and other people's secrets, and you can always easily solve those threats, but you always impose your own ideas on others."
"Just like before, if I hadn't noticed about my sister, would you have been hiding it from me on your own until now?
Just like just now, in your heart, do you really regard me as an adult who needs respect? "
Haibara Ai's temperament was very cold at this time. The ambiguous atmosphere between the two had completely disappeared, and Shimizu Koji also fell silent.
He looked at Hui Yuan Ai steadily, unable to see her expression. He reached out to straighten her face, but as soon as he reached her chin, Hui Yuan Ai raised his little hand and opened it mercilessly.
"I'm sorry, what I just said may not be appropriate. I just want to say that you are very cute." Koji Shimizu stopped insisting that she look up and look at him.
He was indeed wrong and said the wrong thing.
For the sensitive Haihara Ai, as the only person she has trusted in her heart for so long, he really did not respect her by saying this, at least, he did not treat her as an adult with independent personality and dignity.
This will indeed make the girl lose her sense of security, or she may feel that she has mistrusted her.
"You go."
"You go back."
Haibara Ai did not accept the apology, but made some slight adjustments to her words, but this did not seem to have any special meaning.
She still lowered her head so that no one could see her face clearly.
But she was sitting on Shimizu Koji's lap. Regardless of whether Shimizu Koji could leave, he could clearly see that her white and tender hands seemed a little pale due to the exertion.
She tried to get off Koji Qingmizu's lap, but was immediately stopped by Koji Qingmizu.
And Qingmizu Koji hugged her again, knowing the problem very well in his heart.
He did hurt her, albeit unintentionally.
He was already used to Hui Yuan Ai's hard mouth and soft heart, her cold face and kind heart, her little temper, and the lovely contrast between them.
In other words, he just took care of himself and played with the cat.
And he subconsciously expressed his inner thoughts.
He was too 'honest'.
Koji Shimizu, who has always been honest with himself and questioned others honestly, finally felt the edge of the sharp knife called truth this time.
He looked directly at Haiyuan Ai, who was lifted up and held in front of him again but still bowed his head. His eyes could not pass through her short brown hair with bangs that fell naturally.
"sorry."
"Put me down without you——"
"But I still have to say, before you turn back to Miyano Shiho, I will still treat you as a sister who needs to be cared for. Of course, this is sincere."
As Shimizu Koji said this, he put his right hand on her shoulder, making Haibara's delicate body tremble. At the same time, he gently lifted up the short hair that was scattered beside her face due to gravity.
Hui Yuan Ai's cheeks were very white, delicate and pink, as fat as snow. It was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble. No, it would be better to say that it made people feel uncontrollably affectionate.
Just like before when she threw herself into Qingmizu Koji's arms and cried bitterly, she was so open and unreserved. Now, her inner emotions are still completely unreserved and unconcealed towards Qingmizu Koji.
And she was always alone, whether it was Miyano Shiho more than a month ago, or the Miyano Shiho who was still being 'bullied' in her dream last night.
She has always had nothing to rely on, so he is definitely the first person she trusts besides Miyano Akemi.
Different from Koji Shimizu's trust in her relatively mature and stable character, that kind of trust was unreserved and believed.
Qingshui Koji's eyes moved slightly. He had always felt that he was very sharp, but now facing Haibara Ai, he felt that he was still very slow.
The feeling of being completely trusted and relied upon by a person, a girl, a mature girl.
This seems to be more than just love
He couldn't express it in words, he just felt that his mood was unusually complicated and chaotic.
Huiyuan Ai was forced to raise her face and look at him, although her ice-blue pupils were subconsciously trembling and dodging.
And just because of this, Shimizu Koji hugged her tighter, looking at her white and pale cheeks that were bloodless, Shimizu Koji gently kissed her.
Huiyuan Ai's eyes were cute, and she hadn't reacted yet. She only felt a burst of warmth accompanied by a soft and clear touch in an instant, flashing on her cheek.
Time seemed to stop for a second, and Shimizu Koji's face gradually became clear as the distance was far away.
And a second later, Huiyuan Ai's pupils suddenly contracted, and her snow-white skin was instantly stained with a touch of attractive red and pink.
From the invisible place under the collar, it spread to the neck, cheeks, and even the forehead. The blushing little face was as gorgeous and delicious as a cooked prawn.
And it seemed as if steam came out of her head, and her rationality and those low emotions that had mostly disappeared after two consecutive apologies flew away in an instant.
But she couldn't say anything, and couldn't even raise her head.
Facing Shimizu Koji, who played his cards without any order, Haibara Ai's brain was immediately messed up.
Or in other words, everyone is equal in front of feelings.
Rationality can be easily thrown away.
And Shimizu Koji put Haibara Ai aside, the warmth on his palms had not yet dissipated, and the tip of his nose seemed to still have the softness of that moment.
He gradually came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
Especially when his eyes took Haibara Ai back to his eyes again, and the wonderful illusion just now disappeared, the weird and uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger.
What Shimizu Koji said before was true. After all, in this kind of thing, even if there was a factor of deliberately teasing Haibara Ai, he would not be dishonest to his heart.
He could admit frankly that he liked Haibara Ai now, not because of Miyano Akemi, but he definitely just liked cute children, just like he liked Ayumi.
And if Haibara Ai was now Miyano Shiho, Shimizu Koji would indeed consider it seriously.
But now Haibara Ai is not, then he just...
Shaking his head, Shimizu Koji felt that he should just want to comfort Haibara Ai and resolve a misunderstanding that has not yet deepened.
As for Miyano Shiho, it should be just a temporary illusion.
He should still think of Haibara Ai as a little sister in his heart.
But maybe, he really should find a girlfriend.
Shimizu Koji moved his eyes away, thinking secretly, while silently standing up from the sofa.
From many recent things, it is not difficult for him to feel that although he is rational enough, his body often does not listen to him.
But he is not a loli control. He felt a little embarrassed.
Although he does not care about those secular moral values and rules, he is not hentai.
Absolutely not.
——
Left in a tacit silence.
After returning home, after taking off his coat and hanging it on the hanger at the door, Koji Shimizu felt a little cooler as the cold air in the spacious room invaded his collar, even though the weather was not very hot today.
Walking into the living room, Koji Shimizu boiled water and made himself a pot of tea, then sat on the sofa and enjoyed the leisure of the day.
He had begun to slowly enjoy such a daily life, or rather, got used to it.
Habits are terrible things, and they will not change because of anyone's strength and state of mind.
Because behind habits is the accumulation of time, if a murderer who has done all kinds of evil is thrown into a Zen temple to knock on the wooden fish for several years or more, even if he raises the butcher knife again, he will subconsciously feel that the wooden mallet is more convenient.
And when he was quiet, Koji Shimizu subconsciously couldn't help but recall the situation just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little complicated while drinking warm tea in small sips.
But soon, feeling the coolness coming from behind him, looking around, and looking at the empty room, his mood gradually calmed down and shifted.
He shook his head and reached out to pick up the newspaper on the table.
"Soul——"
Kouji Shimizu opened the newspaper, rubbing his brows with one hand, and muttered in a low voice.
If he remembered correctly, there were many urban legends and supernatural events reported in Japan every day. Although most of them were definitely false, there was no smoke without fire. It was possible that there would be a situation similar to that of Hosaka Hideaki and those evil spirits.
However, after flipping through it casually, there was no similar news in the past two days, so Koji Shimizu put the newspaper down again.
It's better to take your time with this kind of thing, there's nothing to rush.
And it's better to be cautious when it comes to souls.
It's a rare day with nothing happening, so I'll take a good rest for the afternoon.
