The next day.
Although Ye Gengyi didn't know how many winters this was in Ke Xue's world, there was no doubt that it was really snowing outside.
So cold...
With such emotion, he took out his winter down jacket.
The living room was empty, and Dr. Ali and Haibara Ai seemed to be still sleeping.
Xue Li was awake, currently lying in front of the food bowl and trying hard to cook.
Ye Gengyi felt that "meals taste the best after exercise," so when passing by, he picked up this four-cornered creature on the cat climbing frame.
Xueli still has a good personality...I just stopped eating it.
"Tsk tsk, have you started to enjoy this life of worry-free food and clothing? Maybe it's time to put you back into society and have a good experience."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps behind him. Ye Geng turned around and found Xiao Ai looking at him with a pair of half-moon eyes.
"Morning." Ye Gengyi greeted, his eyes falling in the direction she came from.
In the basement...I just don't know if I'm studying the ampoule I left yesterday or the antidote for APTX-4869.
"Morning." Hui Yuan Ai yawned, looking like he was seriously sleep deprived.
The ampoule contains glucose, which does not matter whether it is taken orally or injected.
Therefore, the scene last night can only be regarded as 'I saw it wrong'.
But...did I really see it wrong?
Haiyuan thought sadly as he watched someone walk into the kitchen.
Perhaps due to the sudden drop in temperature, Dr. A Li was sealed in bed and did not get up to have breakfast.
Ye Gengyi also doesn't like snow very much... To be precise, he doesn't like winter, because the cold outside means that the room must be warm, and an environment that is too warm will not only affect the progress of certain research , and it will also create a kind of inertia in people.
...
"You want to make your own chocolate?"
The two of them were walking on the way to the shopping street.
Apparently, a certain loli misinterpreted 'buy cocoa powder' as 'make your own chocolate'.
"Buy and drink."
As soon as Ye Geng finished speaking, seeing that Hui Yuan Ai still looked unbelieving, he stopped explaining.
The gloomy sky and the increasingly heavy snow did not dampen the girls' shopping enthusiasm at all.
9am.
It was obviously the time when the shop had just opened for business, but the chocolate shop, which was not a prosperous place in the past, was now crowded with people.
Diamonds last forever; a man can only customize one in his lifetime... For some reason, these two sentences flashed through Ye Gengyi's mind subconsciously.
"Eh? Brother Gengyi!"
At this time, several familiar figures walked towards me.
Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, the trio of young detectives, and...Conan...
(눈_눈)...Can you wait until you finish buying the cocoa powder before showing up...
His eyes scanned both sides of the street and the crowds in the glass showcases, wondering which lucky person would receive the invitation from the God of Death today.
"Brother Gengyi, Xiao Ai!"
Three children gathered around chattering.
Finished greeting each other.
As expected, Suzuki Sonoko came closer with a gossipy expression and said:
"Hey, brother Gengyi, White Day is a day when girls give chocolates to boys. Are you waiting for someone when you go out at this time?"
"Waiting for you..." Ye Gengyi said.
ah? !
Everyone was shocked.
Suzuki Sonoko was also a little flustered.
"Aren't you here to buy cocoa powder?" Haiyuan Ai raised his head and exposed him mercilessly.
"Well, yes." Ye Gengyi said.
Hey hey! To admit it so simply... Several people felt as if there were ten thousand holes stuck in their hearts, and they wanted to vomit but couldn't.
There was silence for a moment.
Suzuki Sonoko said helplessly: "Brother Genichi, you win."
She admitted that her skills were not enough, and even made fun of someone of Fudoha Saraichi's level.
Mao Lilan said that she had learned new knowledge. For example, next time Sonoko makes fun of herself, she will use Kyogoku Shin to fight back against her!
Ye Geng nodded and asked, "Are you all here to buy chocolate?"
"No! Xiaolan and I plan to buy the raw materials and make them ourselves!" Suzuki Sonoko vowed: "After all, only in this way will the recipients of the chocolates feel full of sincerity!"
"oh."
Ye Geng nodded and watched the two girls run to the bookstore to replenish their knowledge.
I continued to queue up, preparing to buy 'insincere cocoa powder'... After all, it is too troublesome to grow directly from cocoa trees.
"Oh, what about Valentine's Day? It's so boring."
Conan, who rarely changed out of his blue suit, rested his big head on his arm and told the truth: "I think everyone has been brainwashed by the chocolate buyers..."
"But the person who receives the gift will be very happy~" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya objected.
"Yes, yes, chocolate is delicious!" Yuantai on the side also wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
It's so delicious, Xiaolan clearly said she would try to make it at noon, but you guys found it in the morning... Conan silently complained.
"Conan," the two noticed his expression and asked suspiciously, "could it be that no one gave you a gift, so you feel dissatisfied?"
"Haha..." A certain detective continued to laugh dryly... Even if there is, it's just an ordinary Giri chocolate, so there's nothing to be happy about.
"Edogawa is right, the love game of giving chocolates to the one you love every time on such days is probably only popular here," Haibara Ai said nonchalantly: "In fact, the origin of Valentine's Day, It has something to do with a priest who was tortured and eventually executed..."
"The Roman Empire declined due to the corruption of the ruling class. In order to maintain its rule, the aristocracy at that time arrested the rebellious people and Christians."
Ye Gengyi added:
"Valentin is the name of the priest. It is said that he fell in love with the warden's daughter after he was imprisoned. Before his execution, he left a suicide note, which expressed his magnanimity and deep love for the warden's daughter. After love was sentenced to death, in order to commemorate this love, Christians designated that day... which should be February 14, 269 AD, as Valentine's Day."
He paused, looked at the children who were dumbfounded, and continued: "It's true that it's Bloody Valentine's Day."
The joyful atmosphere disappeared, as if it fit the snowy scene, and several people only felt a little cold.
Hey, hey, you two are here to cause trouble... Conan squinted at them.
"This...this..."
At this time, Yoshida Ayumi was the little girl whose fairy tale dream was shattered. She said with a slight cry:
"My mother told me that on Valentine's Day, girls can use chocolate to enhance their courage and leave beautiful memories, so chocolate tastes both bitter and sweet..."
"Oh, then you are most likely being cheated..."
"Ahem!"
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly raised his foot and stepped down hard. Although he failed to hit the target, he still stopped someone from continuing to destroy the little girl's innocence.
"Forget it, go back." Ye Gengyi said.
Eh?
Everyone was startled.
Just when Haiyuan Ai wondered if the story had affected this guy's appetite, he saw Ye Gengyi pointing at the 'Sold Out' sign and said, "Cocoa powder, sold out."
