Chapter 454 Your circle is so chaotic

Previously, Ai Haibara thought that Tooru Amuro was just a pitiful person who stood on the opposite side of Qi Ming.

Now she doesn't feel sorry for the other person at all.

However, a moment later, Ai Haibara seemed to remember something and asked Qi Ming with a strange expression.

"Wait a minute, if that's the case, since Amuro Tooru also knows my sister and knows the surname Miyano, doesn't that mean he knew our identities when he was in the organization?"

Qi Ming nodded and shrugged helplessly.

"Yes, he knows you are the daughters of his first love."

Hearing the way Qi Ming addressed her, Ai Haibara shuddered and got goosebumps all over her body.

"...Please stop using the word 'first love,' it makes me feel nauseous."

"Hold on a thread."

Whether it was because of this gossip topic or not, Qi Ming became interested again and spoke to Ai Haibara.

"Let me tell you some more gossip: Shuichi Akai's mother, Mary Akai, is actually your mother's sister."

"what?"

Ai Haibara is gradually losing her ability to think.

Your circle is really chaotic.

No, it seems like it's still my own circle that's in chaos.

"That's right, so your sister is actually Shuichi Akai's cousin, and then..."

"Stop! Stop talking!"

Ai Haibara refused to listen to anything anymore and immediately covered Qi Ming's mouth with her hand.

Seeing Qi Ming nod, Ai Haibara finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She understood what Qi Ming meant by "circle"—it seemed like everyone was connected to someone else in the circle.

...And she felt that Shuichi Akai was even more of a beast.

After hearing Qi Ming reveal so much inside information, Ai Haibara fell silent and stopped talking, her mind suddenly feeling a bit chaotic.

I always feel like my life has been quite unfortunate.

Perhaps it should be said that the Miyano family has had a rather difficult life.

Both my sister and I almost had our lives ruined by some awful people.

And those scoundrels seem to be all partners of justice, and even have some connection with each other.

Shuichi Akai, the FBI agent who revealed his identity and indirectly forced the two sisters to their deaths.

The person who had contact with the older sister and mother was Amuro Tooru, a public security officer.

What was he thinking when he noticed that an old acquaintance and the daughter who had taken care of his mother when he was a child were also in the organization?

What a rotten life.

"..."

Seeing that Ai Haibara's mood suddenly became somewhat depressed and sad, Qi Ming pondered for a moment, then reached out and embraced her.

"Eh?"

Ai Haibara felt her body suddenly lighten, and she experienced a slight sense of weightlessness.

Immediately afterwards, a warm feeling enveloped her.

The warmth seemed to disrupt the flow of my thoughts, and my previously chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.

When she came to her senses and realized that she was being held tightly in Qi Ming's arms, she said to Qi Ming with a hint of reproach.

"You always do this, can't you give me a heads-up?"

Ignoring Ai Haibara's dissatisfaction, Qi Ming chuckled.

"Who told you to suddenly become so eager for a hug?"

"What do you mean by 'needing a hug'?!"

Feeling the softness in his arms, Qi Ming sighed softly and said with emotion, "Speaking of which, I'm quite envious of you."

Ai Haibara's expression turned somewhat strange as she looked up in confusion.

"Envy me?"

You envy my miserable life, are you alright?

Qi Ming chuckled.

"Because you were able to meet such a benefactor as me."

Ai Haibara stared blankly at Qi Ming, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

A blush gradually spread across her face, and after a while, she gently lowered her head.

"……shameless."

The sadness that had just welled up in my heart vanished like smoke, as if blown away by a gentle breeze.

Although the journey was not smooth, she encountered many bad people who tried to trip her up.

Fortunately, just as she was about to fall, he appeared in time, caught her, and took her arm.

Ai Haibara slowly raised her head, a faint blush still lingering on her cheeks.

With a slight upturn of her lips, she gave Qi Ming a faint smile, raised her small hand, and waved gently at him.

"What?"

"Put your ears closer."

"...Are you going to spit in my ear?"

"Hmph, I'm going to spit in your mouth."

Ai Haibara said irritably, but she also felt a little embarrassed about what she had just said.

Nevertheless, the smile on her lips did not fade away at all.

"Disgusting."

Qi Ming gave Ai Haibara a disdainful look, but he still slowly lowered his head and brought his ear close to hers.

"..."

Ai Haibara closed her eyes tightly, leaned forward slightly, and her lips were almost touching Qi Ming's ear.

"Thank you,"

"You appeared in my life during the darkest period of my life."

"..."

Hearing Ai Haibara's whisper and feeling the soft warmth on his ear, Qi Ming felt a jolt of electricity run through his body.

It felt like electric clippers brushing against my ear.

No, that's a bit too cliché.

The feeling at this moment should be more like a beautiful woman's slender fingers teasingly brushing against the ear.

"...Ahem, you're welcome."

Qi Ming awkwardly raised his head, and Ai Haibara, who saw Qi Ming's action, was slightly stunned for a moment, but then a playful smile appeared on her face.

She noticed the slightly flushed tips of Qi Ming's ears beneath his tousled hair.

"Are you... shy?"

"What's there to be shy about? Me, shy?"

"That's just shyness."

"I said I didn't, so don't slander me!"

"hehe."

The man's slightly embarrassed voice and the girl's silvery, joyful laughter echoed in the lounge.
