Closing her eyes, she fell into a slumber.
Darkness... cold... like falling into an ice cave.
Just as Shiho Miyano was about to give up resisting and sink into eternal sleep,
A gentle force lifted her up gently, refreshing and invigorating, as if bathing in the sunlight.
The comfort made Shiho Miyano couldn't help but moan.
When her body was no longer cold, when the darkness gradually faded, when she emerged from the ice cave,
She woke up.
She saw a handsome face.
This made Shiho Miyano couldn't help but think of the story of Sleeping Beauty, where the sleeping princess was kissed by a handsome prince and the sleeping curse was lifted.
Just when she thought she was this Sleeping Beauty, she found that things weren't as simple as she had imagined.
This guy's hands were a little too restless, actually doing such a thing!
Just as she was about to get angry, the other party spoke up—
"You're awake."
The other party smiled and continued to wipe her body: "Wait a little longer, just rinse your body with hot water."
He was still nonchalantly helping her wipe her body?
Shiho Miyano frowned, the anger in her heart began to rise gradually. She really couldn't imagine that there would be such a shameless bastard in this world, taking advantage of her unconsciousness to take advantage of her!
"Okay, little girl! I'll put you down, you have to stand still."
She saw the man put her down and then use the shower to wash off the foam on her body.
The other party's address reminded Shiho Miyano of one thing—she had shrunk after taking APTX4869!
"Okay, all rinsed off! Come on, let's soak for a while."
Before Shiho Miyano could react, she was picked up again by the other party and put into the bathtub.
"Is the temperature okay?" the man asked.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Shiho Miyano remained silent for the time being, just nodding.
"If it's too hot, you have to tell me Take the initiative..."
The man ruffled her hair, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Shiho Miyano felt that it was necessary to figure out her current situation. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the man start to take off his clothes.
Shiho Miyano quickly covered her eyes and turned away, she hurriedly comforted her thumping little heart.
What is that bastard doing? Taking off his clothes in front of me, so shameless... That's right, I'm a child now.
It was because she was a child that the other party would help her bathe and then strip naked in front of her.
Thinking of this, Shiho Miyano felt a headache.
She knew that she didn't even have a reason to be angry, because the other party was completely unaware.
Wait... after he finishes bathing, the next step should be to come in and bathe with me, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Shiho Miyano realized that something was wrong. She turned around to escape, but the other party just happened to swagger over.
"..."
Shiho Miyano wanted to gouge out her eyes, or just eat APTX4869 again.
The man came into the bathtub, Shiho Miyano quickly hid in the corner and looked up at the misty ceiling.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Yi... I'm eighteen years old this year."
Lin Yi directly lied about his age: "Let me state in advance, I'm not a pervert... When I came back, I found you collapsed at my door, so I brought you in. Seeing that your body was soaked by the rain, I helped you take a bath."
Regarding this, Shiho Miyano had already guessed... If the other party really had ulterior motives towards her, she would definitely let the other party taste what regret is.
"What about you... little girl, what's your name?"
Lin Yi pretended not to know anything.
"My... my name..."
Shiho Miyano hesitated for a moment. For some reason, a name instantly popped into her mind—Ai Haibara.
She always felt that this name was very suitable for her.
"Haihara Ai…"
"Oh… So, Ai, why did you collapse in front of my house?" Lin Yi asked.
"…"
Miyano… Ai didn't quite understand why her sister would leave her this guy's address. Did she think this young man could take care of her?
Precisely because she didn't understand her sister's intentions, Ai didn't know how to answer appropriately.
"Hmm? Why aren't you talking?" Lin Yi deliberately said, "If you don't answer my question properly, I'll have to hand you over to the police."
Ai slowly lowered her head, adjusting her field of vision to focus on the area above his neck, then fixed her gaze to avoid seeing anything she shouldn't.
Before understanding her sister's intentions, Ai felt it necessary to disguise herself.
It was fortunate that she had also turned into a child.
Since he had taken off her clothes, he had most likely seen the photo in her pocket.
Thinking of this, Ai knew how she should answer.
"I… my sister told me to come here to find you." Ai put on a frightened look and said softly, "She said… if she didn't come back in four days, I should come here, and someone would take care of me."
"Sister…" Lin Yi frowned and said, "What's your sister's name?"
"Sister… is just sister…" Ai directly started acting spoiled, deliberately not revealing Akemi's name.
"Are you talking about… Akemi?" Lin Yi deliberately fell for the trap.
"I don't know… I have her photo. It's in my pocket." Ai insisted that she didn't know Akemi's name.
"So it is…" Lin Yi rubbed his temples in a "headache," though he asked with some doubt, "So you're Akemi's younger sister… How come you don't seem alike? Akemi has long black hair, a typical Asian. You, on the other hand, are obviously mixed, right?"
"I don't know… Since I can remember, my sister has been taking care of me."
Ai consciously began to weave her backstory.
"I see…" Lin Yi nodded, not asking anything more.
However, it could be seen from his face that he was preoccupied. Clearly, her sudden appearance had disrupted his life.
Ai thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Lin… Brother…"
Saying the name, Ai inexplicably felt a sense of shame. She had never called anyone 'brother' before.
"What's wrong? Ai." Lin Yi snapped back to reality, suppressing a smile and pretending to be calm as he replied.
"Sister… where did she go?" Ai said with a worried expression, "Why hasn't she come back after so many days?"
"This…" Lin Yi "silenced" for a moment, then said with a smile, "Akemi ran into some trouble and can't show her face for the time being. When the time comes, she will come out to meet you."
