Chapter 297

Pulling on the sleeve of Hoshino Mu's arm that is holding the cup.

Hoshino Mu's pitch-black pupils shrink slightly.

Haibara Ai's words are like a spell that makes time stop.

The movement in his hand stops completely.

As if only the two of them exist in this world.

In this quiet space without a single sound.

He faintly hears Haibara Ai's heartbeat.

"I don't hate you!"

He finally answers her.

"Thank you!"

Haibara Ai suddenly leans her head on Hoshino Mu's arm.

A little bit splashes out of the cup due to the external collision.

The stain instantly soaks the clothes on Hoshino Mu's chest.

Haibara Ai breathes in the cool scent on Hoshino Mu's body and closes her eyes.

She looks exhausted.

The dark circles under her eyes twitch slightly with her breathing.

"......"

Hoshino Mu stands on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Maintaining this posture now, neither of them can rest properly.

So Hoshino Mu makes a rather bold decision.

"Pardon me!"

"What? Ah!"

You see Hoshino Mu pick up Haibara Ai and hold her in his arms.

Haibara Ai's small body curls up in Hoshino Mu's arms like a soft doll.

He puts the cup in his hand on the kitchen table.

Then he carries her toward his room.

"!!!"

Haibara Ai's small hands grab the clothes on Hoshino Mu's chest tightly.

Her hands have already begun to exude a large amount of sweat.

That sweat all sticks to Hoshino Mu's clothes.

If Haibara Ai were to let go of her little claws at this moment.

She would see that the white pajamas, which were originally clean and tidy, have become wet and wrinkled.

Hoshino Mu doesn't care.

He just keeps walking while holding the little princess in his arms.

He arrives in his room.

He places Haibara Ai on his bed.

"You..."

As soon as Haibara Ai's little butt touches the bed, she nervously moves to the innermost side.

Until 14 she has nowhere left to hide.

And she even pulls up the quilt on his bed to cover her small body.

"...."

Hoshino Mu looks faintly at Haibara Ai's flat little chest.

That gaze carries a hint of disdain.

"You idiot!"

Haibara Ai obviously understands what he means.

Instantly, she loses her defensive posture.

She pulls back the quilt and lies down inside.

"Good night!"

While lying down.

Haibara Ai still says good night to Hoshino Mu.

"Yeah! Good night!"

Hoshino Mu lies down beside her.

Before long, the sound of even breathing comes.

He is really exhausted.

Just as Hoshino Mu closes his eyes.

Haibara Ai opens her eyes.

She turns over and lies on her side, facing Hoshino Mu.

Looking at Hoshino Mu's knife-cut-like side profile.

The scene in the dream was so real and clear.

In the dream.

Hoshino Mu got married.

He married a strange woman.

Although the Hoshino Mu in reality also has a cold and indifferent demeanor.

But he is not as strange and cold-blooded as in the dream.

Fortunately, it was just a dream!

Haibara Ai gradually closes her eyes.

Both of them have fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time.

Outside the door of Hoshino Mu's room.

Miyano Akemi's lonely figure appears.

She lowers her head and leans against the wall.

She was also awakened by a nightmare.

Dawn breaks.

Hoshino Mu opens his eyes.

Haibara Ai, who was beside him, is already nowhere to be seen.

Is a child's biological clock so punctual?

It seems one cannot help but admit they are getting old.

Hoshino Mu tidies up and walks downstairs.

"Zhao Si-kun, you're up so early!"

Miyano Akemi greets him as usual.

The three of them have been living together for a while now.

Hoshino Mu has become accustomed to the days of the two of them being present.

Every day when he wakes up and opens his eyes, the first thing he sees is the Miyano sisters.

The life of the three of them has truly become that of a family.

They have become inseparable existences.

Just like a toothbrush can only truly fulfill its meaning when it has toothpaste.

"Yeah!"
