Chapter 849: Chi is Always Like This
Arriving at the grill, Genta peered at the meat just placed on the grill rack, his eyes lighting up, "It's all expensive meat!"
Shirafuji Yasumi followed and explained to Iiai Takuto, who looked over in confusion, "This is Sister Qinghua's classmate from Elementary School and Middle School, Chi Feichei. He's camping with these Children and that old man. Unexpectedly, they ran into Sister Qinghua, what a coincidence! So I asked them if they wanted to join us, since we prepared a lot of meat anyway!"
Tiantang Qinghua smiled and nodded.
Hissashi didn't react.
Shirafuji Yasumi was a year older than Tiantang Qinghua, yet she called her 'Sister' so readily. This Woman was something else.
Compared to the lively three real Children, Conan remained silent, a hint of doubt in his eyes as he lowered his head in thought.
Strange, he always felt the atmosphere between Hissashi and this Miss Tiantang was stiff. He couldn't see anything from Hissashi's side, but this Miss Tiantang seemed very nervous. Apart from the initial blank stare, she repeatedly avoided Hissashi's Line of Sight afterwards, looking to the other side...
Uh, could it be another Girl who's been deceived by Black-Hearted Hissashi's appearance?
Haibara Ai also pondered in silence.
It didn't feel like the ambiguousness of romance or unrequited love. Tiantang Qinghua gave her a feeling more like unease... Is her Brother Chi that scary?
Looking up at Hissashi's indifferent face, Haibara Ai felt even less inclined to speak.
Every Miss who can take the initiative to express her feelings to Hissashi is a very courageous and praiseworthy Girl!
"But..." Iiai Takuto hesitated to remind, "That extra meat was prepared for dinner..."
"Don't be so stingy!" Shirafuji Yasumi interrupted, "If there's not enough for dinner, we can borrow money from Sister Qinghua and go down the Mountain to buy more, right, Sister Qinghua?"
"Yes," Tiantang Qinghua bent down and smiled at Genta and the other Children, "You don't have to be polite, eat together."
Doctor Agasa scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "We also prepared some Food Ingredients in the Car. If there's not enough food for dinner, we can use ours."
"You're too kind!" Shirafuji Yasumi said with a smile.
Although this Open Ground was a Rocky Beach, the Stone Blocks were rounded, and beside it was a Stream of clear Stream Water flowing slowly.
It was evident that this Stream was originally larger in scale, perhaps a Large River, or a Pond. The water flow had rounded the Rocks, and then the water volume slowly decreased, leaving behind this Stone Beach.
The grill rack and stove were set up on the Stone Beach, not far away were the Road and a row of Forest sheltering from the wind, and a large Grassland where tents could be set up.
This was a nice Campsite.
A Group of People sat on the ground around the grill rack. When Shirafuji Yasumi proposed camping together at night, Doctor Agasa also agreed as a representative.
Doctor Agasa was also helpless. The three Children were eating heartily, Hissashi sat aside eating silently with his head down, even Shinichi and Ai were like they had been infected with autism, not saying a word. Apart from him, no one cared where to set up the tent at night.
Bringing Children is really not easy.
Tiantang Qinghua and the other three chatted, also handling the noisy questions from Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.
Doctor Agasa sighed, "So you are Companions from the University Outdoor Life Club!"
"Yes," Fukuura Reiji nodded, "When we have time, we climb mountains and go out to the Sea together."
Iiai Takuto chimed in, "We even went Overseas to Hawaii together!"
Hissashi raised his Eyes and Looked at Iiai Takuto.
Iiai Takuto: "..."
Did he, did he Say something wrong? Why was he Staring at him coldly?
Hissashi quickly withdrew his Line of Sight and continued eating barbecue.
It was nothing, he was just wondering if These People had learned any Skills in Hawaii.
Shirafuji Yasumi didn't notice that her Little Friend was a bit Stunned by Hissashi's Glance. She smiled and turned to flatter Tiantang Qinghua, "This is all thanks to Sister Qinghua's sponsorship!"
"It's not like that," Tiantang Qinghua felt like Thorns were pricking her all over, but she still maintained her composure, "Yasumi is good at Cuisine, Reiji can drive, Iiai is good at picking wild vegetables and Wilderness fishing. Compared to them, I don't have any special Skills, so I have to support everyone with Money."
"'I'm a Rich Family Young Lady who can't do anything, all I can do is support everyone with Money.' If I had the Opportunity, I'd like to Say that once too," Shirafuji Yasumi finished with a Sigh, clasping her hands together, then pointed at Fukuura Reiji with her Chopsticks, and teased, "You're really suffering being with this Fellow Reiji."
Fukuura Reiji used the Can of Beer in his hand to block Shirafuji Yasumi's Chopsticks, his Face a little uncomfortable, "Can you stop being so long-winded?"
Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight and lowered her head to eat.
So she already has a Boyfriend...
"Older Sister is also a Young Lady from a Rich Family?" Genta Looked at Tiantang Qinghua, and the image of Suzuki Sonoko popped into his mind.
"It's not surprising," Mitsuhiko said seriously like a little adult, "Sister Tiantang and Brother Chi are in the same School. I heard my Mother mention Yingming Academy, it's a Private School with very high Tuition Fee."
Conan gave a Half-Moon Eyes look. When it came to 'Friends of Rich Family Young Lady', he thought of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, but was there really no Problem with the Relationship between These People?
Hissashi continued to eat silently. That School was not 'Yingming' at all.
Tiantang Qinghua saw that Hissashi didn't seem interested in exposing her, and breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart. She smiled weakly at Mitsuhiko and Genta.
Haibara Ai had eaten almost enough, opened a Herbal Tea, and turned to Ask Conan beside her, "What's Wrong with you? You haven't spoken since just now, and you haven't eaten much."
"It's nothing, I'm always like this..." Conan picked up a piece of barbecue, his Face was written all over with the four Characters 'Miserable and Unhappy'.
"Huh?" Haibara Ai Stared at Conan in Doubt.
Something was very Wrong.
Hissashi had eaten almost enough, also opened a Herbal Tea, and Looked at Conan.
Has the Famous Detective learned to be Tsundere?
Conan was made helpless by the two's Gaze. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Hissashi. He Got Up and sat down between Haibara Ai and Hissashi, and said in a low voice, "I remembered something. Ran Older Sister used to refuse Sonoko Older Sister's Proposal to go skiing. I Asked her, and she Said she didn't have any Pocket Money. I Said that Sonoko Older Sister could pay for it, but she seriously told me that it was absolutely not okay, she and Sonoko are Best Friends for a Lifetime."
Saying that, Conan raised his Eyes and Looked at Hissashi, "So, These People only use polite Appellation for the Young Lady from a Rich Family, and shamelessly exploit her Money. This is not Friendship at all, Brother Ike, shouldn't you remind your former Classmate?"
Hissashi didn't Look at Conan again, and lowered his head to drink Herbal Tea.
Conan: "..."
Isn't he going to give him an answer?
Haibara Ai felt a Headache and Asked Hissashi, "Then Hissashi Brother, what about you? What's going on between you and Miss Tiantang?"
"There's nothing between me and her."
Hissashi took another sip of Herbal Tea.
There was nothing between him and Tiantang Qinghua, but they both had a past they didn't want to mention.
He didn't want Others to know, Because he didn't need Other's Sympathy or Pity. For him, that was Shame, very Lose Face.
Conan and Haibara Ai Looked at Hissashi in Doubt, waiting for the Following Text.
"I probably... Know what she's thinking." Hissashi finished speaking softly, put the half-finished Can of Beverage beside his Hand, Got Up and Said to Others, "I'm going over there to smoke."
Tiantang Qinghua had been Isolated and bullied Because of her poor Family Condition. She probably felt that as long as she was regarded as a Rich Person, she could make Friends smoothly.
This Woman actually still had that traditional Ideology of 'must integrate into the circle, otherwise it's failure', stupid.
What kind of Friends are these? If it were him, he would rather be alone until death than be Friends with that kind of Person.
"Hey?" Iiai Takuto was a little surprised to see Hissashi leave directly.
Fukuura Reiji was also Stunned for a moment, "Does he dislike us?"
"Ah, no..." Doctor Agasa wanted to explain for Hissashi.
"Chi Classmate is always like this," Tiantang Qinghua Looked at Hissashi's Figure as he left, "I heard that his Parents went Overseas very early, I think it's probably Because of this that he didn't like to talk much in Middle School..."
"You're paying too much attention to Others, I'll be Jealousy!" Fukuura Reiji joked.
"No, I just..." Tiantang Qinghua didn't know how to explain.
There were Classmates in the Class who had a crush on Hissashi, but she had never thought about it.
They were originally People from two different Worlds. At that time, she just wanted to find a Friend who was more ordinary and could accept her.
"Okay, okay, I'm just joking with you," Fukuura Reiji said indifferently, "You are Old Schoolmates who haven't seen each other for a long time, it's normal to pay attention!"
Shirafuji Yasumi smiled and flattered, "Haha, it seems that our Young Miss Qinghua's Personality is Better."
"Actually, Brother Chi is a very good Person!" Mitsuhiko couldn't help but speak up for Hissashi.
"Yes, yes~" Shirafuji Yasumi responded with a smile, not wanting to argue with a Child.
She didn't know if these Children were used to it, or didn't notice Hissashi's cold Gaze when he Looked at Fukuura Reiji before. She didn't think Hissashi was an easy Person to get along with.
She didn't try to build a Relationship with Hissashi, this suspected Rich Family Child, also Because she could tell at a Glance that Hissashi's Personality was very difficult to 'conquer'.
"By the Way, Sister Qinghua, can you tell us about Brother Chi when he was in School?" Ayumi Looked at Tiantang Qinghua with Expectation, "I'm very Curious, but I'm too embarrassed to Ask Brother Chi, and he hasn't taken the initiative to Say it."
"Ah, this... We weren't in the same Class, we didn't have much Intersection," Tiantang Qinghua told the truth, this she didn't need to Lie, "So I just heard about him, I don't Know much about him. I didn't expect him to recognize me."
"Then in the School Rumor, what kind of Person was Brother Chi?" Mitsuhiko was also very Interested in Hissashi's past.
Conan Looked at Tiantang Qinghua. Thinking carefully, since knowing him for so long, Hissashi had never taken the initiative to Say anything about himself. Even 'Yingming Academy' where he used to go to School was only heard today.
Tiantang Qinghua didn't Know how to describe it, and said hesitantly, "It's probably like Present..."
With Hissashi as the Topic, the two Groups of People chatted back and forth.
Chatting with the Children, Tiantang Qinghua gradually relaxed her Mental State. Hearing Ayumi Say that Hissashi graduated from Todai University's Department of Veterinary Medicine, she was a little Sigh, "Early Graduation? His Score in Middle School was very good, Early Graduation is not surprising, but I didn't expect him to become a Veterinarian, I thought he didn't like Small Animals..."
"Doesn't like Small Animals?" Haibara Ai joined the Gossip army.
"Yes," Tiantang Qinghua recalled, "I remember that in Elementary School, each of our Classes raised Small Animals. In Middle School, it became three Classes raising Animals together, but every time it was Chi Classmate's turn to be on duty, he wouldn't go. When the Teacher organized three Classes to clean the Rabbit Hutch or Hamster House together, he was always absent too."
"How could that be..." Ayumi felt Unexpectedly, "I always Think Brother Chi likes Small Animals very much."
Haibara Ai Turn Head and Looked at Hissashi standing in front of the Forest smoking, "Perhaps Brother Hissashi doesn't like Rabbits and Hamsters."
Conan laughed dryly, that Fellow wasn't very friendly to Rabbits either, like Spicy Rabbit Head or something.
"It seems Brother Chi likes Hassashi more!"
"Because Hassashi is very cute!"
"And Hassashi is very good at Game, I also like Hassashi!"
"Hassashi?"
