"Miss Winnett, you are really embarrassed to be entrusted to take care of such a troublesome child? By the way, why does she live in that doctor's house? What's the matter with her parents?"

Winnet replied hesitantly: "Actually, her parents have passed away, and they happen to be related to Dr. Ali and are very good friends..."

"So this is ah……"

After hearing the reason, Sonoko showed a sorry expression.Winette felt that Sonoko seemed to attribute Xiao Ai's "weird temperament" to this reason, and looked at her back with a somewhat pitiful expression. If Xiao Ai found out about this situation, he would probably question her in turn. What did you say to that girl?"

She and Sonoko no longer stopped on the stairs, turned around the thick wooden handrail at the top, and came to the corridor.

There are dozens of scattered rooms on both sides of the corridor. Xiao Ai has already walked to the middle of the corridor and opened one of the doors.

"Ah, I'm sorry." The moment Xiao Ai opened it, she closed the door immediately, then looked at Winnet next to the stairs, and explained, "I thought no one would choose the room on the dark side..."

Winnet understood what Xiao Ai meant. They came from the sunny side, and the other half of the room faced the shady side of the mountain—full of vegetation—it was difficult to penetrate sunlight during the day. To be honest, she did not approve of such a choice , as Xiao Ai's lover, even if she carries the prefix "nagging" on her back, she has to be warned - too little sun exposure will lead to a lack of calcium in the body, and the humidity will be heavier.

Sonoko didn't pay attention to Xiao Ai's actions. She told Winnett, follow her, and led them to a room on the sunny side. The moment she opened the door, Sonoko turned back and gave him a questioning look.

"Miss Winnet, does she share a room with you? To be honest, the room on the second floor is a bit tight." Sonoko explained.

Although there are vacant rooms on the first floor, the furnishings and layout inside are not for living, and there is also a lack of cleaning. The second floor has bathrooms and other rooms that take up space, so there are not many vacant guest rooms.

"It's true that the other half won't get the sun, so I think it's better to leave it alone," Yuanzi showed an apologetic expression, "Xiao Lan will come over later, I have to reserve a room for her." Then, she seemed Thinking of a joke, he said, "I guess, the kid with the eyes will follow, so I'll let Xiaolan share a room with him—regular configuration!"

"It's a reasonable arrangement for the child to be looked after," Winnet smiled, responding to Yuanzi's statement, "It's okay, I originally planned to live in a room with Xiao Ai, and it's great to be able to live in a room facing the sun. gone."

Yuanzi also happily told Xiao Ai that she wanted to listen to Winnett, and then went downstairs to wait for Xiao Lan who had not yet arrived.

Winnet pressed the handle of the silver cylinder, smiled and looked at Xiao Ai who muttered "bad taste", and waited for Xiao Ai to enter the room first.The room was very tidy and empty, without any unnecessary decorations. Near the floor-to-ceiling windows were two double beds covered with brand new dark green mattresses.Winnie opened the drawer of the bedside table, the inside of the small chandelier, the bottom of the bed, and finally opened the French window.

"No matter how hard you look for it, there is no possibility that there will be a bug, or a big living person hiding in it," Xiao Ai stared at Winnet and said, "Is this considered an occupational disease?"

Winnet stood by the window, her hair was blown by the wind, she turned her head: "Just look casually, staying alert is also the secret of long life, and the other is-never take risks."

Xiao Ai didn't take it seriously, closed her eyes and meditated and said, "Never take any risks? I think you are a knife head licking blood, and you were just a crazy girl before."

Winnet shrugged, she knew that she was not as good as Xiao Ai in speaking, and being called this by Xiao Ai's current appearance made her feel very weird, even though she was better than Xiao Ai now and before. Get older.

Winnet packed her luggage for a while. They didn't bring much: one or two changes of clothes, toiletries, and some regular medicines.In Xiao Ai's luggage, she also found bottled skin care products.After placing these things neatly on the cabinet opposite the bed, Winnet went to the window sill again. Standing in front of the window sill, she could see the suspension bridge they passed by when they came.

"Eh?"

Xiao Ai heard Winnet's voice, looked sideways, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Winnet looked at the late afternoon sun from the window and couldn't see very clearly.She saw two figures, one large and one small, appearing at the head of the bridge—mostly Xiaolan and Conan, but on the other side of the bridge, there was a strange person.That person was wearing a black robe in the sun, and his face seemed to be covered by something, with a sneaky look. Winnet looked at the map when he came, and it was at least two miles away from the inhabited place nearby.

Was he also at the party?People brought in by other Film Studies Society members?

Winnet was thoughtful, and replied: "I saw a strange figure around the villa. It didn't look like someone who attended this party."

"Could it be a nearby resident?"

"I don't think it should be. The nearest residence is more than an hour's walk, and his attire is very strange."

"You can still see the attire clearly? Could it be that you saw a few blurred patches of color and regarded the other party as a potential criminal with suspicious appearance?" Xiao Ai walked to Winnet's side and looked at it from the window. When she arrived at Xiaolan who was crossing the bridge, she pressed one hand on the glass surface, showed Winnett a "don't worry" expression, and said, "This kind of barren mountains and wild mountains, even the power of the organization can't spread, if you compare If I'm still worried, I don't mind sleeping with one more person next to me."

drop!

Miss Winnet was alarmed.

Sharing the same bed with Xiao Ai...

No, it's just about sharing the same bed.

Winnet couldn't help thinking wildly for a moment.Seeing Winnet's shyness, Xiao Ai smiled, she closed half of the curtains, and pulled Winnet's sleeves.

"Since we have packed our things and the girl is here, it's about time to go downstairs." Xiao Ai went to the door, opened the door and said, "Although I think it's impossible, since the disaster star Kudo Shinichi is also Followed here, maybe what you saw was a suspicious potential criminal... This is really a miscalculation, obviously it is a hard-won vacation."

"Ah..." Winnet scratched her cheeks with her fingers. She didn't expect Xiaolan and Conan to appear, which was too coincidental. Thinking that Sonoko will also come, I even invited Xiaolan... It is not good to be superstitious about witchcraft, we can treat Conan as air and enjoy this trip to the villa."

"hope so."

Xiao Ai walked out the door with a "no hope" expression on her face.

Winnet has some doubts about this. Could it be that Kudo Shinichi really has a calamity physique? After all, there are more than one "superstitious things" in this world.

She caught up with Xiao Ai and came down the paper boat-shaped stairs, just in time to see Yuanzi answering the door.

I have been waiting for Xiaolan's garden, and watched from the window for a long time. When she boiled hot water, she returned to the window on the first floor and saw Xiaolan and Conan crossing the bridge.

This really made her wait!

Yuanzi opened the door with a little displeasure, and replied with a slightly reproachful look, "Why are you so slow, where have you been?"

Xiaolan, who was carrying Conan, smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sonoko."

"It's hard for me to welcome you to our villa, but you're still late, really!" Sonoko complained, looking down at Conan who was wearing a little red riding hood, and said in a tone of "I hate iron but not steel" , "You really brought him here."

Sonoko put his hands behind his back, bowed his waist, and said to Conan, "Conan, why don't you feel embarrassed?"

Conan laughed, he didn't want to come either, but his uncle happened to be busy, and he was also worried that Xiaolan would be alone, so he hecked twice in his heart, and it was never Yuanzi's turn to teach him a lesson.

Sonoko put her hips on her hips and said annoyedly, "With this brat, you won't be able to fall in love at all!"

"fall in love?"

"That's right, we came here today just to meet nice boys!" Yuanzi's left hand overwhelmed his right hand, and his fingers interlaced, showing a love face looking forward to a beautiful encounter, "We are here, and we can be with them in nature." Let's talk about a romantic love affair!" After saying that, Yuanzi immediately thought of something, and added: "Besides, we already have a strong enemy, if we don't take the initiative, I'm afraid it will be completely reduced to a foil!"

Conan, who was watching, complained in his heart about Sonoko's attention, and felt strange when he heard the second half. At this time, Winnet appeared behind Sonoko.

Winnet naturally heard Yuanzi's words. While Yuanzi described it, she also felt Xiao Ai's gaze, then slowly raised her finger, pointed to herself and asked, "Could it be that the strong enemy refers to me?" ?"

……

ps: Thank you readers for reminding me of the bug, it has been fixed, the author is too careless.

"So you have self-awareness?"

"Uh……"

Winnet choked on Xiao Ai's evaluation.

"Someone is fair and beautiful, at the right age to marry, not only has a lot of wealth but also has a good reputation...at least on the surface, doesn't it?"

Winnet rarely felt strong embarrassment, and shrank her neck.There were two other girls in front of her, and she always felt that this kind of topic was not appropriate, but Xiao Ai didn't seem to have such scruples, and no one felt suspicious of her words.

In fact, the three of them gradually got used to Xiao Ai's "maturity", or that was the first impression.

Conan looked at Haibara with dead eyes, even with someone he liked, his mouth was as merciless as ever!

Winnet pursed her lips and said, "I don't have that kind of thought, please don't worry about me..."

Xiao Ai thought to herself, Winnet still has no idea.She has a strong influence just by being there: making people around her less interested in other girls.However, Xiao Ai didn't feel worried. Those who came to the party today met on the ship to Japan five years ago. will get married.Moreover, judging from Winnet's sensitive performance at the time, she was quite a woman with her own opinions-this may not please Japanese men, anyway, even if she liked it, it would be useless, and she would not let go of a finger.

"I already said that, Xiaolan, you have to work hard!"

"Why do I have to work hard!"

Xiaolan scoffed.

However, Yuanzi was in high spirits, and Xiaolan was also infected, so she didn't have much resistance.She cooperated with Sonoko and walked towards the stairs.Seeing that everyone has arrived, Sonoko said that he was going to help Ayako prepare afternoon tea in the kitchen. Winnett heard that and expressed her intention to help along with her, but Sonoko said "You are guests".Therefore, Winnet and Xiao Ai took on another task—to guide Xiaolan to find the last empty room. As soon as they caught up with Xiaolan, they saw her blushing from someone's room Back out, in a hurry.

"I know the location of the empty room, come with us." Xiao Ai saw Xiaolan's reckless encounter at a glance. She had done the same thing before. Although the reason was based on some common sense, the result was the same. "It's the third-to-last room on the left, don't forget it wrong."

After all, Xiao Ai sent Winnet down to help with some work of arranging the dishes, as if she was a reliable organizer.Winnett is happy to see this, which means that Xiao Ai is well integrated into this trip.She went downstairs, followed the source of the sound to find the kitchen, knocked lightly on the door frame, and made a sound.Ayako, who was wearing thick baking gloves, smiled surprised when she saw Winnet.

"Ah, didn't I tell Miss Winette that you don't need to help me, I want to surprise my sister!"

Yuanzi, who was carrying a teapot, complained.

"I'm sorry, Yuanzi. It's enough to lead Xiaolan and the others to the room, and Xiao Ai is enough. I thought I'd better come to help prepare. As soon as I smell the fragrance, I know there will be a delicious afternoon tea."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say," Ayako took out the baked biscuits, "When we study cooking together, you are the 'top student'."

Winnet smiled irrefutably, and helped Sonoko place the tea sets on the tray.In the five years since Xiao Ai returned to China, she also worked hard to maintain the current character design. She went to the cooking class at the invitation of Ayako, thinking of hiding her hand from Xiao Ai, but she never had the opportunity to cook for her herself.Although the contact with Ayako has decreased recently, the main reason is the same as Sonoko has been proclaiming all day long-the old lady is looking for marriage partners.

"By the way, where's the girl with you, Winnett?" Ayako suddenly asked, "I haven't seen you together since we met on the ship... I remember you said that she wanted to Did you go to university in Japan?"

"Yeah, but she is very busy, maybe she hasn't contacted me for a long time, you should also know that she has to face problems such as topics and tutors in her studies. She also chose a short-term training plan, and the school year was reduced by nearly half , probably busy with papers all the time—well, let’s talk about today’s matter.” Winnet didn’t plan to continue talking about Xiao Ai, she was already here at the moment, and as The time for "Shirley" is over, Winnet changed the subject, "Could it be that Ayako is interested in any of them?"

Ayako denied it categorically. She looked at the smiling Sonoko with a helpless expression. It was obvious who spread the rumor that "is looking for a marriage partner". Sonoko has a lively personality and is also very interested in the topic of love. Like this This time, it was Sonoko who wanted to get to know them and see if there were any good candidates for love among them, but Ayako didn't think it would be successful—Sonoko was a pretty girl.

After taking out the biscuits from the oven and cooling them slightly, Winnet and Yuanzi arranged them on a plate, covered them with a white cloth to prevent the loss of heat, and then prepared tea for the number of people, and placed them in the dining room with the prepared refreshments— —Like a long table where aristocratic families dine.At this time, they sent Yuanzi to call the people upstairs in the room, and not long after, everyone gathered on the long table, blowing the hot air from the black tea.

"Oh, long time no see our protagonist!"

As soon as Kakutani Hiroki appeared on the stage, he brought a handheld camera and aimed at Winnet who had just sat down.Hearing what he said, Sonoko had an expression of smelling gossip, Xiaolan and Conan also became interested.

Haibara, who was sitting next to Winnet, said coldly: "With her as the main character—it's almost like this. I once shot a semi-finished short film."

"Hey!" Conan was very surprised, "Why are you so clear?"

Seeing that she had slipped her mouth, Xiao Ai pretended to be indifferent, and replied unceremoniously: "Of course she told me, the reason why she attended this party was because of this accidental encounter, as an opportunity to be invited by her." People, I have no reason not to know, right?"

Conan choked for a moment and stopped talking.

"I only heard that you guys met on a boat, but I've never heard of making a movie," Sonoko asked in great surprise, "What's going on?"

Kakutani Hiroki saw Sonoko's curious look, put down the camera in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "For this party, I made a special arrangement! But, that girl and that foreign gentleman didn't come. ?”

If it wasn't for inviting Xiao Ai, Winnett felt that she would bring her along. However, a holiday with no business arrangements is also a relaxing time for Clyde. She mentioned this, but he made it clear Expressed no interest in the party—Winette saw that he had changed a new tie, maybe he was going on a date on the weekend.

Speaking of which, if she and Xiao Ai came together, it could be considered a date.

"They're all busy... Clyde had a date on the weekend and turned it down."

"Dating!"

Sonoko is very sensitive to this word, and she also knows Clyde, who often appears as Winnet's driver, "It's a pity that they can come together! However, it's also very nice to be able to see the movies starring Miss Winnett." Exciting!"

Ayako looked at Sonoko and said, "Then let's watch it together at night."

Winnet gave Ayako a grateful look. She was not a "star mentality". If this topic continued, she might feel like dying—this was far more distressing to her than being exposed to the enemy's range.

"Then let's talk about your affairs in the club, old lady."

Sonoko also sensed Winnet's embarrassment, and followed Ayako's words to change the subject.

"It turns out that you all belong to the same society!"

Xiaolan was surprised. She hadn't heard about this when she accepted Yuanzi's invitation.

"That's right! They are all members of the Film Research Club of my older sister's university." Sonoko stood up from her seat and said, "The five of them have a very good relationship, so they will meet once every two years."

"Starting next to Ran, it's Ota-san who is in charge of the main show."

The beautiful-looking Ota Katsuki wears a green hat on his forehead.

"Next to him is Brother Kakutani who is in charge of photography."

Hiroki Kakutani, with a split head, raised the camera again, looked in Lan's direction and said hello.

"Next, brother Takahashi who is in charge of the big props."

"Hello."

Takahashi Ryoichi, who has a wide heart and a fat body, smiled honestly.

"Sorry, I was rude just now..."

Xiao Lan apologized to the three of them. Before Xiao Ai caught up with her, she rashly opened their room and put the knock on the door behind Wang Zai's mind. Faced with this embarrassing situation, she turned her palms outward. Place it on your chest and shake it gently.

"It's nothing!"

The three said in unison.

"Well, what's going on?"

Yuanzi looked confused, so he asked Xiaolan.

"Nothing! Nothing!"

Xiaolan felt that Yuanzi would hear about this matter, and what kind of words might be fermented, so she hurriedly continued the action just now, and confused the topic.

Although Yuanzi felt that there was a problem, she was still in the process of introducing, so she continued to introduce.

When it was Ayako's turn, Sonoko smiled and said, "The next step is my elder sister, who is in charge of makeup and costumes for actors, and is currently looking for someone to marry!"

"Ah really……"

Ayako blushed slightly and touched her cheek lightly.

"The last one is Chikako Ikeda, the director, script, and president of the Film Research Institute."
