Chapter 457

The next second,

Haibara Ai rushed directly toward him.

Hoshino Ki hurriedly caught her:

"Be careful."

"You're finally back!"

Haibara Ai hugged Hoshino Ki's waist.

When she spoke, there was a crying tone in her voice.

Haibara Ai had a pair of beautiful icy-blue eyes.

They contained two pools of tears, just like clear, transparent gems.

"Are you going to abandon me?"

Hoshino Ki sighed:

"No!"

Haibara Ai's small body always made one's desire to protect her rise infinitely.

The way she huddled in Hoshino Ki's arms looked especially pitiful.

Very endearing!

Hoshino Ki didn't say anything more, just patted her back to comfort her.

"Ai, let go of me."

Haibara Ai grabbed Hoshino Ki's clothes tightly.

She hugged Hoshino Ki's waist tightly, her tone full of dependence:

"Ki! I missed you so much."

Haibara Ai was very uneasy, extremely uneasy.

Since waking up yesterday, she had found that she was the only one left in the room.

The spot beside her had long since gone cold.

The emptiness of the body is never as fierce as the emptiness of the soul.

She knew Hoshino Ki was very busy.

Going to school, making money, dealing with the Black Organization, and catching murderers.

If too much time passed, she would let her imagination run wild.

Especially since Hoshino Ki hadn't returned all night yesterday.

And she learned from the news that he had gone to catch a murderer.

The danger involved could be imagined.

She was afraid that if he went, he wouldn't come back.

Haibara Ai reluctantly let go.

She knew Hoshino Ki's personality clearly.

He was a lolicon!

Some touches had to be stopped in moderation so as not to cause his annoyance.

Acting spoiled appropriately could make Hoshino Ki cherish her more.

Just like the night before last...

"Where's Akemi?"

Hoshino Ki looked around the living room but didn't see Miyano Akemi's shadow.

"Sister went to buy groceries; she said she wanted to cook a big meal for you."

"You must be very happy, right?"

Haibara Ai's resentful gaze was instantly cast toward Hoshino Ki.

Hoshino Ki paused slightly.

He hugged Haibara Ai's body and then placed her in his arms.

Hoshino Ki's breathing was very close.

So close that she could feel the warmth coming from her own back.

Haibara Ai heard the sound of her own heart beating violently.

Like thunder in summer, deafening.
