Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 116 So...

It's raining.

Qingming hasn't come back yet, and he didn't even call home to say anything. He didn't know where he went or what he was doing.

Akane could only wait.

Sitting in the hall, watching the steaming hot meals gradually cool down, feeling the passage of time bit by bit.

"Perhaps this is not the owner's home."

The idea came to her suddenly.

If you regard this place as a family, if you regard the two sisters as a family, you should call and talk about this situation.

But it didn't.

That's why she felt that Qingming didn't regard them as family members at all.

only……

Are Qingming and their sisters really family members?
No.

Akane is very clear about this.

It's not that you live under the same roof, it's not that you treat each other as family, the other is your family.

Not so easy.

Moreover, do she and her younger sister really regard Qingming as their own, and do they really regard Qingming as their family?

Probably not.

The reason why they stayed was because Qingming was able to protect them and protect them well from the organization's pursuit. This was the most direct and essential reason.

As for Hui Yuanai, she stayed only because her sister chose to stay, otherwise she would have left long ago.

Qingming doesn't even like to see Hui Yuanai very much, and Hui Yuanai doesn't get close to him.

"Perhaps for the owner, this place is similar to a hotel or a hotel."

Eat here, live here.

But that's all, no one will regard the hotel as their own home, and the hotel cannot become a real home.

"Ugh……"

Sigh.

The meals on the table seemed to have cooled down completely, and there was no heat rising at all.

Maybe Qingming doesn't need her cooking tonight.

Shaking his head helplessly.

Standing up, I was about to clear the table and heat up the food.

But the door opened.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he left and walked towards the door, and soon saw Qingming changing shoes at the entrance.

A bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Shopkeeper, you are back."

seems quite happy.

But after finishing speaking, he froze again.

If the "shopkeeper" is replaced with "husband" or something, does it look like a wife who is a housewife greets her husband when he comes home from get off work?
It is indeed a bit like it.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is a little more strange feeling in my heart.

"Ah."

Qingming responded.

Not enthusiastic at all, and a little cold.

But this is normal.

Qian has long been used to Qingming's attitude towards her, neither too close nor too distant, generally speaking, it's a bit like being limited to strangers who know their names.

They don't know much about each other, and it's not wrong to say that they are strangers.

Go over to help Qingming put away the changed shoes.

Ask again.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have dinner?"

"Um……"

Qingming seems to be thinking about it.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth to say a word.

"I want to eat noodles."

"noodle?"

Akane was a little puzzled.

It's just that Qingming didn't say anything more, just walked towards the hall.

Obviously walking back in the rain, her hair and clothes were not wet at all, and it could even be said that they were not wet by a drop of water.

What an amazing person.

Without thinking too much, I just responded.

"Hi, please wait a moment, I'll give you something to eat next."

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen again. The food in the hall does not need to be cleaned up for the time being, maybe he will want to eat again after Qingming.

Of course, if that's the case, you have to take it to warm it up.

Three meals a day, Qingming only eats breakfast and dinner at the manor, so try to make Qingming eat something good.

However, two of the three meals are eaten at home, how little is it?
Not many.

But she didn't seem to realize that her thinking was wrong, she was just busy.

But when it comes to noodles, she suddenly remembered.

"At that time, the child really belonged to the shopkeeper."

Seems like a long time ago.

At that time, I was still working in the bank, and when I came home from work at night, I found a little boy downstairs in the apartment.

A little boy named Qingming.

Thinking about it now, since Qingming was able to shrink her body, he could naturally shrink his own body, adding his name and appearance. It was obvious that the little boy at that time was Qingming.

At that time, she also cooked noodles for Qingming.

And also wanted to help him take a bath, although it didn't work in the end.

She just slept with him.

Thinking of it this way, I couldn't help but blush.

At that time, he was just a child, so he didn't have any precautions, but now that he knew that Qingming was a teenager, he wanted to hug him and sleep all night.

Although there was not actually a night, Qingming seemed to leave in the middle of the night.

But such things still make her a little shy.

only……

"Ugh……"

Sigh lightly.

Shaking his head, he didn't continue to think about these things.

Continue to cook the noodles.

for a long time.

Carrying the cooked noodles, he walked into the hall.

As soon as he entered, he found Qingming sitting at the dining table, staring at the food on the table, looking thoughtful.

"The owner."

Walking to Qingming's side, he put the steaming, fragrant noodles in front of him.

He didn't speak either, just took the tray and stood aside.

Maybe she can also be a qualified maid. Even now, she is still wearing a maid outfit. From the time she was in the coffee shop to now, she hasn't changed into other clothes.

It's just that Qingming seems to like Enomoto Azusa more than her.

Qingming did not say this.

Look at the steaming noodles, and look at the cold food.

Then look at Akane.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I already……"

"lie."

Before she could finish speaking, Qingming interrupted her.

Saying that Hui Yuan Ai has already eaten, this Qingming believes that no matter what, this sister Qian will take care of her sister, although because of what happened yesterday, Hui Yuan Ai may not have much appetite today.

Not to mention that.

Qian has always waited for Qingming to come back before eating, and it is impossible to eat first.

So if you want to say that you have eaten it, you are lying.

Why lie?

Qingming didn't ask.

Don't even bother to ask.

He just stood up impatiently.

"I don't eat it, you eat it."

After leaving a word, he left the hall and walked upstairs.

Sissy opened her mouth.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just sighed.

……

It's still raining.

This kind of rainy night always makes people feel more peaceful.

Also cooler.

Walking upstairs, I wanted to go back to my room.

But standing at the stairs and thinking about it, he walked directly towards Hui Yuanai's room.

It's easy to open the door and go in.

Haibara Ai is not as strong as she appears on the surface, but is actually a more sensitive and fragile person, and has not been able to muster up the courage to face many things.

For example, being hunted down by an organization.

If there is no Qingming, maybe she will be like the one in Qingming's memory, always afraid and always running away.

Then, Ayumi will tell her: You can't escape, if you always run away, you won't win.

Xiaolan will also help her.

Although Xiaolan was also very scared, and even fainted in the end, she still pressed her under her body without hesitation, blocking the bullet from Belmode.

Although Belmode will not really hit Xiaolan.

But it is estimated that from this time on, Haibara Ai can really muster up the courage to face various things.

Or maybe not yet?

Qingming doesn't know.

This is already a segment that Qingming remembers clearly, more, Qingming can't remember, and now I don't want to recall those things.

That doesn't make much sense.

The current Qingming may have succeeded in making her afraid.

Even more afraid of Qingming than people who are afraid of organizations.

Because the members of the organization would kill her directly, or take her back, threaten her with her life, and let her continue to do research for them.

Qingming is different.

After all, Qingming is a Taoist priest, and she doesn't know what kind of methods a Taoist priest can use.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

So she was even more afraid of Qingming.

After all, apart from her, my sister is still here too.

"It seems that you have figured it out. As expected, you are a smart girl."

Qingming sat down beside the bed.

She looked at Hui Yuanai who was sitting on the bed with a smile all over her face.

Then he leaned in front of her and looked at her.

"So, don't do things that make me unhappy, or you will have serious consequences for you. On the contrary, you can do things that make me happy, although you may not be happy if I am happy."
