Chapter 239

Does this guy not know my real identity? No, he clearly called me Sherry before, so he should know his code name. How come he doesn't know my identity now? Is he deliberately toying with me?

Miyano Shiho thought of some disgusting guys who liked to deliberately tease others for their amusement. They would pretend to give you hope, and just when you were about to receive that hope, they would give you despair, and then enjoy the look of despair on your face. That was the deepest despair, because when a person sees hope, but then that hope is extinguished, that is the most despairing feeling.

Therefore, Miyano Shiho felt that the man in front of her was probably thinking the same thing; he wanted to see her in despair, so he pretended not to know her.

"You don't need to put on airs in front of me."

Having understood the man's thoughts, Miyano Shiho spoke coldly.

"Hiss—are all kids these days so harsh?"

Li Yue gasped, shocked by Miyano Shiho's actions. This girl must have imagined something to do that.

"Kid, did your fever damage your brain?"

"Heh, you're going to keep acting, aren't you? I don't know how bad your sense of humor is, but unfortunately, you completely exposed yourself the moment you called out 'Sherry'."

Miyano Shiho her arms over her chest. Although it was a normal gesture, Li Yue found it amusing that she made such a gesture with her petite frame.

"Sherry? Do you have a problem with Sherry?"

"Are you still going to pretend? Once you called out my code name, there was no way to keep up the act anymore."

"Your code name?"

Li Yue raised an eyebrow.

"So your name is Sherry? And you call your name a code name?"

"Keep going, let's see how long you can keep playing dumb."

Shiho Miyano looked at Li Yue with a cold smile.

Kara—

The door to the ward opened, and a nurse walked in, holding a leash with a Shiba Inu tied to the leash.

"Mr. Li Yue, I need to remind you that this is a hospital, not a pet hospital. Your dog is not allowed in the hospital."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry that I didn't pay attention to it. Could you please take a look for me and tell me where I should store it? Could you please help me with that?"

Li Yue pointed to Miyano Shiho sitting on the bed.

"Look at this situation."

"Okay, Mr. Li Yue, I'll take it to the security office. Please pick it up there later."

The nurse nodded helplessly, then tried to pull the Shiba Inu away, but the Shiba Inu held on tightly to the rope and refused to leave. Helpless, the nurse looked at Li Yue again.

"Mr. Li Yue, this..."

Li Yue looked at the Shiba Inu.

"Okay, Sherry, cooperate with me. You go with this lady to the security room first, I'll come find you soon."

Upon hearing Li Yue's words, the Shiba Inu immediately gave up struggling and even left the ward on its own initiative. The nurse also left with the Shiba Inu.

Kara—

The ward door closed again, and Li Yue turned to look at Miyano Shiho, but Miyano Shiho was now dumbfounded. She stared wide-eyed at the direction of the ward door.

What did you just call that dog?

"Sherry."

"You call her Sherry?"

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, it's my dog, named Sherry. I took her out today, but she ran off on her own. I've been looking for her for ages, but I couldn't find her. Then I saw you standing on the road in the rain, and when I got closer, I realized that she was following you. I was so happy."

Li Yue explained with a happy expression.

Miyano Shiho's expression was somewhat stiff.

"So, when you said you found Sherry, you meant you found her?"

"That's right, what else did you think it was? But I didn't expect you to be named Sherry too, the same name as my dog, pfft—"

Li Yue looked like she was trying not to laugh, but then immediately put on a serious face.

"I'm sorry, little friend, I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just that the name is such a coincidence."

Seeing Li Yue trying to suppress her laughter, Miyano Shiho's forehead creased with a #.

"It's clearly a Shiba Inu! Why is it named Sherry?"

"Well, it's a bit special. I've loved drinking since I was little, especially Sherry wine, so I named it Sherry."

God knows what, this dog has been drinking Sherry wine since it was a puppy, is it that awesome?

"Alright, little Sherry, although I don't know why you're acting like a little adult, now you should tell me your home phone number. You were running around outside in the rain and even had a fever. Luckily you ran into me, otherwise who knows what would have happened to you."

As Li Yue spoke, she pulled out a smartphone far ahead of its time.

"Tell me your dad's phone number."

Miyano Shiho looked at Li Yue in silence for a while before Yuyuko speaking.

"I don't have a father."

435. Ai, this is my friend Gin.

"You don't have a father?"

"Um."

"And what about your mother?"

"I don't have a mother either."

"Where did you come from, Celestial Dragon Lord?"

Li Yue pretended to complain while putting away his phone, but inside he was trying so hard to suppress his laughter. He found it really funny to see Miyano Shiho trying to hide her identity.

"Do you remember where you live?"

"I don't remember either."

Miyano Shiho shook her head, looking as if she knew nothing.

"Oh, I understand."

Li Yue suddenly realized, while Miyano Shiho asked in confusion, "What do you understand?"

"You're an orphan, aren't you!"

God the hell I'm an orphan, I have an older sister...

Halfway through her internal monologue, Miyano Shiho suddenly realized, "That's right, my sister has also been killed by Gin. Now I have no family left. I am indeed an orphan."

Miyano Shiho suddenly became withdrawn, curled up on the bed with her knees drawn up, and lowered her head, no longer speaking.

Sigh...

Li Yue looked regretful and reached out to pat Miyano Shiho's big head.

"It's nothing, they're just orphans. I've seen them before, I even adopted one."

What kind of bizarre way of comforting someone is this?

Miyano Shiho was grieving, was stunned. She turned to look at Li Yue, wanting to see if this guy was a normal person.

"Don't you believe me? I really did adopt an orphan! Do you want me to call her over so you can see her?"

Li Yue gestured with her hands as she spoke.

"No."

Miyano Shiho shook her head; she wouldn't let this person bring his adopted daughter over to show her.

However, after a brief conversation, she realized that she had misunderstood this person. This person had no idea that her code name was Sherry, and it seemed that she was not a member of the Black Organization at all. Everything before must have been her imagination, because from Li Yue, Miyano Shiho did not feel the coldness of the Black Organization. Instead, she felt that the other party might not be very smart.

Why are you dressed all in black?

"Oh? You're asking that? Of course, it's because it looks cool!"

Li Yue's answer confirmed to Miyano Shiho that this person was indeed not very bright.

"Oh, and don't talk about me, little Sherry."

"Ai, Haibara Ai."

Miyano Shiho emphasized that

"Sherry is not my name. My name is Haibara Ai."

This was a name she came up with on the spur of the moment after realizing she had become an orphan.

"What about Sherry?"

"That's fake, it's just a code name my friend gave me."

"I see. So your real name is Haibara Ai. I understand now."

Li Yue nodded, quite satisfied with the name Miyano Shiho, or rather, the current Haibara Ai.

Although she wasn't taken back by Professor Agasa, she still calls herself Haibara Ai. Everything is on the original track, which is good.

"So, Ai, why did you run out into the street when it was raining?"

Ai?

Haibara Ai looked at Li Yue, somewhat speechless.

"Aren't you being a little too familiar?"

In Japan, only close friends call each other by their first names. Strangers or ordinary friends usually call each other by their surnames. Therefore, Li Yue's behavior of calling Ai Haibara by her first name was a bit too intimate for Haibara Ai, who is Japanese.

"Really? I was just calling you by your name. Aren't you called Haibara Ai? According to Japanese custom, your surname should be Ai, right? So let's just call you Ai."

Li Yue, on the other hand, didn't care at all.

"Aren't you Japanese?"

"Yes, I'm not."

"Ah, this..."

Haibara Ai was stunned. After a moment's thought, she remembered that when the nurse opened the door earlier, she called out Li Yue's name. This guy's name was Li Yue, and he was from that side.

"Alright, Ai, stop worrying about how to address me. I'm not Japanese, so I won't follow your Japanese customs. Tell me, why are you out on the street in the rain? Did you run away from the orphanage because you didn't want to stay there anymore?"

You're really going to write a story for me based on the premise of an orphan?!

Haibara Ai rolled her eyes at Li Yue.

"I didn't run away from the orphanage, I'm here to find my relatives."

"Hmm? Looking for relatives?"

"That's right, I was just at my relative's door when I fainted because I was too tired, had a fever, and was frightened by you."

Haibara Ai knew Professor Agasa's identity and that he knew Kudo Shinichi, so she wanted to use Professor Agasa as a cover.

"Doesn't that mean I did something good but ended up doing something wrong?"

Li Yue looked shocked.

"That's right, you meant well but did something wrong. You took me away from my relatives' house, which made it impossible for them to find me. They're probably extremely worried now."

"Tsk, I really did do something wrong this time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Li Yue quickly waved her hand, then paused, stunned.

"Wait a minute, aren't you an orphan? How come you have relatives?"

"What does it matter to me that I have relatives or that I'm an orphan?"

"That makes sense. You may not have parents, but that doesn't mean you don't have other relatives."

Can we please stop talking about orphans?

"Anyway, it's my fault. I took you away. I'll take you back now."

"Can!"
