"What on earth is going on with these people?" He looked at Lin Xiao who was drinking tea on the sofa, and the girls next to him who didn't take Black Organization seriously at all.
Shiho Miyano's extremely smart scientific brain fell into complete chaos.
"Okay, now that I have decided to stay, the first question is - where will this homeless little girl live tonight?" Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and pragmatically brought the topic back to reality.
As soon as these words came out, the three girls looked at each other.
"I... my family is very strict." Eriri scratched his ponytails in embarrassment, "If you suddenly bring a seven-year-old girl back, my mother will definitely get to the bottom of it! Things will only get bigger and bigger by then."
"I currently live alone." Yukino frowned slightly and analyzed in a calm tone. "But my sister occasionally comes to make surprise inspections. If she discovers that I am hiding a child of unknown origin, with her character, Chiba Prefecture may set off a storm of public opinion to find her parents tomorrow morning."
Miko raised his hand weakly on the side. "My family... suddenly brought a girl back, and I can't seem to explain clearly."
Seeing the expressions of embarrassment on the faces of the three girls, Lin Xiao spread his hands helplessly. "Well, it seems that I am the safest place. Anyway, the apartment I live in is very spacious, so having more little girls in it is not a problem at all."
In fact, Lin Xiao is right. He lives in a vacant high-end apartment under the name of Yukino. Normally, no one would bother him except for a few of their members. It is definitely the best refuge for hiding "wanted criminals".
However, as soon as Lin Xiao made this suggestion, the air in the activity room suddenly changed.
"Classmate Lin Xiao" Yukino's voice carried a flavor that she couldn't quite explain, "Although I know that you have power beyond common sense. But as the landlord who provides the apartment, and the student of Sobu High School..."
"I seriously hope that you will not commit some criminal behavior that violates the bottom line of human morality in that house."
"That's right!"
Eriri also reacted instantly, and immediately guarded Shiho Miyano behind him with great vigilance, staring at Lin Xiao like a thief. "You guy! You actually offered to live with a seven-year-old lolita?! You are not usually interested in beautiful girls like us. Is it because you are actually a hopeless lolita pervert!!!"
"Hey hey hey! What are you thinking about!!" "I am Light Giant! I am the embodiment of justice, okay! Besides..."
Lin Xiao pointed in disgust at Shiho Miyano, who was hiding behind Eriri. Although his face was exquisite, his figure was completely small, and he spat out a critical attack without mercy:
"It's just a dry little bean sprout. It doesn't matter what she wants. What crime can I commit against her?!"
As soon as these words came out, Shiho Miyano, who was still feeling a little nervous and embarrassed because of the word "cohabitation", the expression on his face instantly stiffened.
Little bean sprouts?! Who do you call little bean sprouts?!
"You..." Shiho Miyano was so angry that he almost blurted out, "I'm better developed than you high school students."
"Okay, okay, now that we have decided, let's arrange it like this first." Lin Xiao looked at the angry little girl and didn't take it to heart at all.
He stood up and asked casually while packing his schoolbag, "By the way, since you said that many people are looking for you, your previous name must not be used."
"In order to prevent your identity from being exposed outside, I have to give you a false name first. Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing this question, Shiho Miyano finally calmed down and fell into deep thought.
Indeed, she can no longer use "Shiho Miyano" or the code name "Sherry" in the organization. In this strange Chiba Prefecture, she must have a brand new identity in order to completely cut off the darkness of the past.
"I haven't thought about it yet..." Shiho shook his head, with a hint of adult loneliness appearing on his little face.
"Since you haven't thought about it, let me give you a suggestion."
Lin Xiao turned his head naturally and looked at the little girl with short brown hair in front of him.
As a time traveler, he smiled in a very evil way in his heart, and then without hesitation, directly revealed the name that had left a mark in the history of the second dimension:
"Call "Ai Haibara"."
"How's it going?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows confidently, "Don't you think this name matches your temperament perfectly?"
"Haiyuan... sorrow?"
Shiho was stunned for a moment, chewing these two words over and over in his mouth.
In the Japanese context, "grey" represents a dim, opaque color, just like her past that was full of betrayal and haze; and the word "sorrow" conveys an inescapable sense of sadness and fate.
But in this sadness, there seems to be a kind of power to survive in desperate situations.
The strange thing is that the moment she heard the name, a strong resonance suddenly arose in Shiho's heart! It was as if the name should have belonged to her and was a certain code engraved on the stone of destiny!
"...Ai Haibara." Shiho slowly raised her head, a complex recognition flashed through her originally wary eyes. She took a deep look at Lin Xiao and nodded seriously:
"Indeed... I have a feeling. This name suits me very well now." "From today on, my name will be Ai Haibara."
Watching Ai Haibara successfully accept this classic setting. Yukino and Eriri next to them looked at each other. Although they felt that the word "sorrow" was a bit too heavy for a little girl, they didn't say much.
"OK, that's it! Welcome to join our daily life, Ai." Lin Xiao picked up his schoolbag with satisfaction:
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
Chiba Prefecture, high-end apartment.
The restaurant is filled with the rich aroma of food.
Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and an extremely authentic tomato scrambled egg. For Ai Haibara, who is accustomed to Japanese cold lunch boxes and sandwiches, this steaming "Zhonghua Family Cuisine" is simply a dimension-reducing blow to the taste buds.
She was sitting on a high chair, her short legs dangling in the air, and while she was stuttering very gracefully, she secretly looked at Lin Xiao who was sitting opposite and cooking rice. "This guy is so good at cooking..."
