Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 700 I’m back

[Morning Report: It's reported that around 7:50 PM last night, a wealthy citizen broke into their home and robbed them. Fortunately, the thief had a clear target and did not harm the citizen. He did, however, steal antiques and artworks worth hundreds of millions of yuan, as well as some of their savings.]

[Warning to all compatriots, please pay attention...]

I watched the news on TV and then looked at the room where several strange-shaped decorations had inexplicably appeared.

Kiana fell into deep thought. After a long while, she asked, "Are you crazy because of poverty?"

Gart, who was holding a vase and couldn't let it go, turned around and chuckled, "We're just going to get our money back."

Kianna: ...Okay, I know who that unlucky guy is.

"Where's Yuichi? I didn't see him so early in the morning." Kiana asked again.

"It seems like I'm going home." Gat scratched his head and didn't elaborate.

Come back home?

Kiana teased, then didn't ask any more questions.

Sophia and Yinhui continued to follow Waksha and provide real-time intelligence.

As for Yuichi Shiina, he was now sitting in a car driving on a winding mountain road.

The person in the co-pilot seat was still Lark. After arriving in Vyazemsky yesterday, he reported to Shiina Yuichi's recent situation to the bird.

Today is the day when their family reunites.

Shiina Yuuyi raised his arms and looked out the window. He saw a dense green shadow. As he set foot on this road again, his mood had changed a lot.

"Lake...how is your mother doing lately?" asked Shiina Yuichi.

"The lady is very happy lately. The new girl visits her every day." Lark replied.

Is that the new girl?

The corners of Shiina Yuichi's mouth unconsciously curled up, and the image of Haibara Ai appeared in his mind.

Shiho, thank you.

Along the way, Shiina Yuichi found that the security arrangements were much stricter than last time.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't care too much. At most, he could ask the 鸩鸟.

When the car drove into the Santa Maria Sanatorium, Shiina Yuichi saw the 鸩鸟 as soon as he got out of the car. It seemed that it had been waiting here for a long time.

Compared to when he was in Japan, the current temperament of the 鸩鸟 is very much like that of an aristocratic gentleman in upper society.

No wonder, wealth nourishes people.

Without any worries, Zhiniao devoted himself to his career and even gained a lot of weight on his face.

Well... Willow Warbler's complexion is also very rosy.

Shiina Yuichi's teasing gaze fell on the two of them, which made them feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem, did you have a smooth journey?" The bird was making small talk.

Shiina Yuichi rolled his eyes. If things weren't going well, why would he be here?

"It went pretty smoothly..." Shiina Yuichi took over the conversation, "Where's Grandpa?"

"He's taking a lunch break." The bird paused, then continued walking forward. "He's old, and his energy can't keep up..."

It seemed normal, but the bird felt more guilty in its heart. It was really unfilial to leave such a big family business to Weining, who was already in his seventies, to worry about.

Shiina Yuichi knew what the 鸩鸟 was thinking without having to guess.

But who can blame it?

His disappearance, the stubbornness of the bird, Marina's sadness, the old man's persistence...

It all started out as an accident.

Seeing this, Shiina Yuichi took two steps at a time and came to the side of the bird, put his arm around his neck, and said with a smile, "Then you have to make money well, my expenses are very high."

Shiina Yuichi's behavior was not rejected by Shiina Yuichi, but instead felt warm in his heart.

He has always been very happy to recognize Shiina Yuichi.

But considering what the two have experienced over the years, it is too difficult to trust someone completely.

Especially Shiina Yuichi, who has seen too much betrayal, and even the closest people may have the intention of stealing money and killing him.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Shiina Yuichi did not force Shiina Yuichi to recognize them.

Just through a little bit of contact, we deepen our understanding of each other.

Judging from the results, this was undoubtedly a wise decision.

Otherwise, Shiina Yuichi would not have come here so calmly.

"Hraf isn't so poor he can't afford to support you." Heniao shrugged, his expression relaxed, then turned to teasing, "That little girl has been spending a lot of time either at her mother's or in the lab lately. We haven't been able to persuade her, so I wonder if your boyfriend can help."

Laboratory?

Shiina Yuichi's breathing stopped. His original intention was just to let Haibara Ai come here to take shelter and relax a little.

I didn't expect that even here, he is still devoted to research.

Shiina Yuichi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Where is she?" Shiina Yuichi spoke a little dryly, his expression a little tense.

The bird looked at its watch. "She should be in the nursing ward. When my mother takes a nap, she'll take a short nap too... By the way, my mother likes her very much."

Hearing this, Shiina Yuichi smiled happily, then patted Shionori's shoulder and turned to walk towards the sanatorium building.

In response, the bird did not stop it. Without saying a word, the willow warbler wrapped her arms around the bird's waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you think Shiho's potion will be effective?"

"It's hard to say." The bird shook its head, its expression softening. "But her theory does coincide with the ideas of many medical doctors, and it's more likely to be realized."

There was anticipation in the two's eyes as they looked towards the sanatorium.

After a while, Shiina Yuichi followed the route of memory and soon walked to the door of Marina's room.

The moment his hand touched the door handle, Shiina Yuichi was afraid to take the next step.

After hesitating for a long time, Shiina Yuichi finally pushed open the door.

As soon as you enter the door, a breeze blows on your face, bringing a hint of coolness.

Shiina Yuichi looked up and found that the window was not closed.

When he turned his head again, his brows suddenly softened, and two figures, one big and one small, were reflected at the bottom of his eyes.

Marina lay in bed, breathing evenly and looking very comfortable.

Ai Haibara, who had not been seen for a few days, was lying on the edge of the bed. Judging from her furrowed brows, it seemed that she had had a not-so-nice dream.

Shiina Yuichi quietly closed the door again, then walked lightly to Haibara Ai's side and squatted down, reaching out to gently stroke her eyebrows, humming a soft lullaby.

After a while, the impatience between Haibara Ai's brows gradually faded away.

Shiina Yuichi curled his lips unconsciously, leaned close to Huibara Ai's ear, and whispered, "Sorry, I'm late."

Just as he finished speaking, a female voice suddenly came from above his head.

"So gentle." Marina opened her eyes at some point and looked at Shiina Yuichi with a smile, "Long time no see, Yuichi."

Shiina Yuichi was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected this situation. Then he turned back to look at Marina and said in the same gentle tone, "I'm back, Marina... No, mother."

Yes, I'm back.
