Conan’s Toast Does Not Eat Fine Wine

Chapter 172 She Is Still a Child, How Could You...

Xinfan carried Haiyuan Ai all the way back home.

Haihara Ai could resist looking around at first, but when she heard the sound of the door coming in, she finally raised her head from Xinfan's arms.

The entrance is through a huge floor-to-ceiling window that occupies an entire wall of this large flat-floor apartment. The bustling city of Tokyo outside the window looks eccentric under the neon lights. It makes people feel a little stunned for a moment, as if they have transcended beyond this city, as if they cannot integrate into society and cannot be recognized by the world.

It was just the warmth behind her that told Haihara Ai that there was someone just like her.

"It's so cold." Hui Yuarai murmured in a low voice.

Nobuhiro immediately put her on the sofa: "Is it cold? I think today's forecast is quite warm. Then I'll get you a coat."

However, when Hui Yuan Ai heard this, he just shook his head slightly and repeated what he just said: "It's so cold."

During this period, her eyes never left the glass wall.

Xinfan followed her line of sight and, for some reason, suddenly understood what Haiyuan Ai said.

What she meant was that it was very cold to live in such a high room and watch the bustling city of Tokyo with cold eyes.

Nobushige couldn't help but laugh.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at him silently.

The strange man who had just met today and became his elder brother was smiling with crooked eyebrows, and his pupils seemed to be reflecting the light of stars. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Asano Nobushige is more real at this moment than the person he was when they first met. His smile is also less fake and less creepy.

"Why are you laughing?" Hui Yuarai asked softly.

Xinfan stretched out his hand and rubbed Haiyuan Ai's head. Haiyuan Ai subconsciously wanted to hide, but he still held back when he thought of the other person's identity.

This time Xinfan's smile deepened a little: "If you are young and mature, Xiao Ai must be very lonely, right? That feeling of being out of tune with the people around you."

Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment, then bit her lips and stopped talking.

"Then do you want a drink?" Nobuhiro smiled and said to her, "We have orange juice and yogurt at home. Of course, if you want to drink some strong liquor, it's not impossible."

"Children can't drink." Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but emphasize.

"Who said that?" Nobuhiro opened the wine cabinet naturally, "I have basically all the common wines here. Which one do you want to drink?"

A strange emotion called helplessness arose in Haihara Ai's mind. Why would this man teach a child to drink? And the most important thing is that she still has a little heartbeat.

"Is there any sherry?" Haihara Ai tentatively said the words that suddenly appeared in his mind.

As for why she thought of sherry, she couldn't remember. Her memory was very confusing, with fragments always emerging intermittently. In that blurry and sleepy world like a revolving lantern, there were some people in white coats with dull expressions on their faces.

The uncles and aunts at the police station had asked many questions in order to find her parents. At that time, Haibara Ai even doubted whether her parents were researchers at some institution. Unfortunately, the police investigation yielded no results.

Nobushige uncorked the bottle with a screwdriver, picked a small tulip glass, and poured a third of a glass of sherry.

It's strange to say that Nobuhiro didn't like to drink. But since joining the organization and getting a code name, he has inexplicably fallen in love with the charming smoky flavor of Scotch whiskey. Later he became a mezcal, and he went from being uncomfortable with it at the beginning to slowly accepting and even liking the unique taste of mezcal.

Haihara Ai should be the same way. He has obviously lost his memory, but subconsciously he still wants to choose sherry. Maybe it's because the name gives her a sense of familiarity and puts her at ease a little, or maybe she just really likes it.

"Try it." Nobushige handed the wine glass to Haihara Ai, "It's only fifteen degrees, so you won't get drunk."

"Only" fifteen degrees? Did this guy realize that she was still a child?

Haihara Ai hesitated for a long time before taking the wine glass.

She didn't dare to finish the glass, but only took a tentative sip. The sweet aroma of sherry immediately invaded her entire mouth.

"It tastes good." Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but praise, and then took another sip, "But this wine is really sweet, like juice."

Nobushige poured himself a glass of whiskey, sat next to her and said, "Because I like to sit in front of a warm fireplace and drink sweet wine in winter, so I only prepare sweet sherry at home. If you like it, I'll give it a try next time Bring back semi-sweet or dry.”

"Well, okay..." Haiyuan Ai suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words, "Children can't drink!"

Nobuhiro smiled at her gently: "Well, children can't drink." But adults can drink.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Why does she always feel that Asano Nobushige's words are not sincere at all?

However, Nobushige then thought about it. Japan stipulates that people under the age of twenty are not allowed to drink, but Miyano Shiho is not over twenty either...

He does seem to be suspected of inciting minors to drink.

Xinfan changed the subject guiltily: "It's not good to drink on an empty stomach. I'm going to prepare dinner. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine." Haiyuan Ai replied softly.

Nobuhiro thought about the ingredients in the refrigerator and found that he didn't seem to have anything particularly complicated to cook: "Then let's make Mexican TACO today."

Although TACO is a Mexican dish, because there are so many Mexicans in California, it has almost become a specialty dish in California.

Nobushige stir-fried diced chicken with onions as a side dish, fried three tortillas, and paired it with guacamole to make a good dinner.

While he was busy in the kitchen, Hui Yuan Ai stood at the door wearing slippers that were too big for her, staring at Nobu Fan intently.

It wasn't until he came out with the dinner plate that Haihara Ai followed him to the restaurant step by step.

Nobufan turned back to look at her: "Sit down and eat quickly."

"...Hmm." Hui Yuarai responded in a low voice and climbed onto the seat.

Haibara Ai originally thought that a Japanese like herself would not be used to Mexican food, but the moment the crispy tortilla rolled with diced chicken entered her mouth, she suddenly felt a wonderful taste.

Hmm...it's actually quite delicious.

"How's it going?" Nobushige poured a glass of water for Haihara Ai, "Save the sweet wine until after the meal, it will be as suitable as dessert. It is better to drink water during dinner."

"Yeah." Hui Yuan Ai finally felt hungry. She ignored the fear or other emotions in her heart and ate the entire burrito in one bite.

Finally, he drank the sweet wine in one gulp without wanting to finish it.

Suddenly, her cheeks turned crimson like the sunset.

It's not an update, I just found that I made a mistake in dividing the volume, so I sent it again. PS: Do you think this is a love line? ?
