Chapter Index

    From now on, I will only be Hui Yuan Ai in this world.

    The mist in the spring morning slowly dissipated, and the sunlight passed through the cherry trees in the courtyard of Dr. Ali’s home, casting mottled light and shadow on the stone road.The breeze passed by, and the pink and white petals fell, like a soft layer of velvet snow.

    Haihara Ai had already gotten up early, wearing a clean light blue school uniform and a small backpack on her back, standing in front of the entrance mirror and gently arranging her hair.The movements were calm and natural, without the tension and vigilance of the past, nor the slightest hint of panic of being ready to escape at any time.

    The girl in the mirror has clear eyebrows and a soft smile. She is just an elementary school student who is growing up normally – Haibara Ai.

    “Xiao Ai, breakfast is ready!”

    The doctor walked out of the kitchen carrying golden toast and warm milk, with a satisfied smile on his face. “Today the toast has honey and the milk is warm. Aren’t you going to the botanical garden to sketch today? The doctor has prepared a small drawing board for you, it will be fun.”

    “Thank you Doctor.”

    Hui Yuan Ai took a bite of toast, the sweetness melted on the tip of her tongue, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.There is no tissue shadow, no drug pressure, no need to toss and turn late at night, no need to pretend to be calm, such a simple meal is actually more stable and sweet than anything else.

    Thinking back on those days of depression, tension, and frightening every step of the way in the organization, it seems like a lifetime ago.

    When Shuichi Akai and Takeru Sato arrived, they happened to encounter this peaceful daily scene.

    Takeru Sato looked at her eating quietly with a relaxed expression, and a trace of softness flashed across his dark green eyes.

    Once upon a time, he was the notorious Gin, and she was the Shirley who was firmly controlled by the organization; the two were in opposition and feared each other, and meeting each other meant danger and confrontation.

    Now that the darkness has dissipated and the organization has been destroyed, they have all emerged from those years of darkness and are living the most ordinary life under the same sunshine.

    “Have you really decided to continue to be Hui Yuan Ai?”

    Akai Shuichi sat down opposite her, his tone was gentle, just confirming without any persuasion.

    Transforming back into Miyano Shiho, with a mature body and a top-notch mind, was a dream choice for many people, but she chose the path that required the most patience – growing up again.

    Hui Yuan Ai put down the tableware and raised his eyes to look at the two of them, his eyes clear and firm, without any hesitation:

    “Yes. Miyano Shiho’s life has ended with the organization. Her life only contained experiments, escapes, hatred and involuntary control. That is not what I want. From today on, I am just Haibara Ai, an ordinary girl who can grow up without any worries.”

    She gently rubbed the cartoon pendant on her schoolbag with her fingertips, and said in a light but serious tone:

    “I want to go to school with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, share snacks together, worry about exams together, and be happy about small things; I want to slowly finish elementary school, middle school, and then take college entrance exams. I want to study biology or chemistry, not to become someone, just out of love. I want to watch cherry blossoms, watch fireworks, and go to amusement parks like ordinary girls, without having to hide or be afraid.”

    These trivial and ordinary wishes were everyday things that she had never even dared to hope for.

    Takeru Sato looked at her, his dark green eyes no longer filled with any murderous intent, only a hint of recognition.

    He had been filled with orders and killings all his life. He never thought that one day he would be able to stand in the sun, watch others feel safe, and feel warmth himself.He was silent for a moment and only whispered:

    “That’s good.”

    Hui Yuarai was startled for a moment, then smiled softly.

    It was a smile that completely took off guard, no alienation, no pretense, clean and gentle.

    “I know that not many people choose this way, but I want to live again. Not for revenge, not to inherit anyone’s will, not to complete any mission, just to be myself.”

    Suddenly, the clear laughter of boys and girls came from outside the door. It was the young detective team.

    “Xiao Ai! Let’s go sketching together!”

    Haiyuan Ai immediately picked up her schoolbag, turned around and waved to the two of them with a bright smile:

    “Mr. Shuichi, Mr. Sato, goodbye.”

    She jumped up and ran towards her partner, her figure melting into the morning light, without any trace of darkness.

    Akai Shuichi looked at her back, his eyes full of relief.

    This child, who had been shrouded in haze for too long, finally had her own childhood.

    Sato Kenyi nodded gently, looking at the lively and lively fireworks, he understood clearly for the first time in his heart:

    The so-called stability is never earth-shattering victory, but these small, warm, and tangible everyday things.

    From now on, there will be no more Shirley or Miyano Shiho in this world.

    Only Hui Yuan Ai grew up slowly under the sun.
