Chapter 540 Rainy Day
The next day, early morning.

When Yuantai and others met Zeyu on the road, they found that he was wearing a cosmos on his chest.

"Xiaoyu, why are you wearing a corsage?" Mitsuhiko asked curiously, "Are you wearing it to commemorate Uncle Koda and his sister?"

"Maybe?" Ze Yu smiled and did not comment.

As for the real reason, only he and Haibara Ai knew it.

"By the way, Ai." Ze Yu turned his head and looked curiously at Huiyuan Ai who was walking beside him, and asked: "Why aren't you wearing the ring I gave you?"

"I treasure it." A hint of helplessness was revealed in Huiyuan Ai's icy blue eyes: "Besides, who wears a ring as an elementary school student?"

Does this sound like a word?

"Who said there isn't? Look at Yuantai." Zeyu pointed at Yuantai with a look of disapproval.

Yuan Tai raised his hand with a smile on his face. On his hand, there was a silver metal ring.

It was the gift that Ze Yu had given him before, the 'electromagnetic fingers' that could manipulate metal.

Ever since Ze Yu gave Yuan Tai this gift, he has been wearing it without taking it off.

"…This is different." Haibara Ai was silent for a while and said speechlessly.

Yuan Tai asked in confusion: "They are all rings, what's the difference?"

Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but Ze Yu smiled sweetly.

Their meaning is self-evident.

Conan, who was walking nearby, rolled his eyes helplessly. He probably knew what riddle these two people were asking.

Speaking of the ring, Conan had thought about it before. After he took the antidote and recovered, he would give Xiaolan the best ring in the world.

However, it seems that there is still a long way to go to accomplish this task.

Not to mention how long Conan has to wait before he can turn back into an adult, just the fact that he wants to find the best ring in the world is almost impossible.

At least, in the current Conan world, there is no ring that can be compared with the "Starlight Ring".

Even the finest ring on Earth is not worthy of comparison with a starlight ring that contains an entire galaxy.

Therefore, Conan has no idea how precious the ring that Sawaha gave to Haibara Ai is. When he wants to give a ring to Xiaolan in the future, he can only settle for the next best thing.

.........

In the evening, school is over.

Wow…

Heavy rain poured down, accompanied by constant thunder, and the whole of Tokyo was soaked.

At the school gate, Yuan Tai looked at the heavy rain outside and had a headache on his face: "It's raining so hard, how are we going to get back?"

"There's no other choice but to run back." Mitsuhiko touched his chin, feeling a little helpless.

"As long as we run fast enough, the raindrops can't catch up with us." Hiroki said with a smile.

After spending so much time with everyone, Hiroki's personality became more cheerful, and he gradually became like a normal child and learned to make jokes.

With his previous personality, it would have been impossible for him to do this, because he had no friends with whom he could joke before, but he did now.

Huibara looked at the heavy rain outside and subconsciously moved closer to Ze Yu, as if she had found a supporter.

On such a cold rainy day, only by standing next to Xiaoyu could Haibara Ai feel a little warmth.

Ze Yu smiled, took out an umbrella from his pocket, opened it, and covered himself and Haibara Ai beside him.

"Xiao Yu, you have an umbrella!" Ayumi looked over in surprise, blinking her big eyes, and asked expectantly, "Are there any more? We want umbrellas too!"

Upon hearing this, the other people also looked over, all looking expectant.

"Sorry." Ze Yu tilted his head and gave a wicked smile: "I only have an umbrella in my hand."

"Hey... why is this happening?" Ayumi looked frustrated and a little disappointed. Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but just moved her feet a little and got closer to Ze Yu.

Haibara Ai is not a selfish person, but at least at this time, let her be a little selfish.

If it were normal times, if Haibara Ai had an umbrella in her hand, she wouldn't mind giving it to Ayumi and then going back in the rain herself.

It was just getting caught in the rain, she didn't care. After all, she and Xiaoyu met in the rain the night before.

But now, the umbrella is not in Haibara Ai's hand, but in Sawaha's hand.

The umbrella was not hers, so she had no right to ask Xiaoyu to give the umbrella to someone else and then let Xiaoyu go back in the rain alone.

Haibara Ai can't do that.

Even if there was a high possibility that Xiaoyu would listen to her, she didn't want to do it.

Let Xiaoyu go home in the heavy rain?

Haibara Ai is not so cruel. If she were to go home in the rain alone, she wouldn't care, but she would never allow Xiaoyu to do the same.

She felt heartbroken just thinking about that kind of scene.

Therefore, Haibara Ai does not want Xiaoyu to give the umbrella to other people.

She wanted the umbrella to always cover her and Xiaoyu's heads, separating them from the outside world, as if by doing so, the two of them would always be together.

The heavy rain was reflected in Haibara Ai's ice-blue pupils, and she remembered the night when she met Xiaoyu.

I miss it a little.

Huihara Ai blinked.

Conan, who was standing aside, sighed and said helplessly: "Since Xiaoyu doesn't have an umbrella, let's just rush out."

"This is the only way we can do it now." Mitsuhiko smiled bitterly.

.........

ten minutes later……

"heavy rain!"

"Run!"

"Will I catch a cold?"

The young detective team, who had just finished school, were running in the street in a panic, talking to each other as they ran.

Their faces were filled with tension and they covered their heads with their hands, trying to block the falling rain.

However, there are only five people who do this, and they are Genta, Conan and others.

As for Ze Yu, he walked at the end slowly, holding an umbrella in his hand, covering himself and Haibara Ai beside him.

Looking at the friends running in a hurry in front of her, Huibara Ai felt a little sympathy for them, and at the same time felt that she was very lucky.

After all, among the entire Junior Detective League, Xiaoyu is the most partial to Haibara Ai, and others are not so lucky.

Of course Haibara Ai knew how lucky she was, so the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Speaking of which, it is really romantic to just walk quietly in the rain with Xiaoyu.

Huihara Ai thought so.

Then, the two of them quickened their pace and caught up with the friends running in front.

Among the seven members of the Junior Detective Team, the one closest to Teitan Elementary School is the Mouri Detective Agency.

The homes of the other friends are far from the school, so in order to take shelter from the rain early, everyone is heading towards the Maori Detective Agency.
