"Huh? Really? Conan actually did something so dangerous."
"Before, I thought he was just playing pretend Detective... I didn't expect him to be serious!"
"Yukiko Aunt, don't worry! I'll definitely keep an eye on him from now on!!"
"..."
Ran was extremely surprised after learning that Conan had done such a dangerous thing!
She didn't expect him to be so mischievous.
She immediately patted her chest and declared that she would look after him in the future!
This made Yukiko let out a long sigh of relief and say, "That's great... With your help looking after him, I'm relieved."
After seeing their conversation end, Baishi Hui then signaled the two of them to come over and said, "Come over and take a look, these are the emergency canned goods left on the ship."
"My plan is to eat twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This way, we can last for four to five days."
"As for fresh water, there's no need to worry. There are two cases of mineral water here, which is enough for us."
This suggestion received unanimous approval from both Ran and Yukiko. They were also very clear that food was scarce now and they had to eat sparingly.
Seeing that the two had no objections, Baishi Hui continued, "In order not to miss any passing ships, we have to take turns staying up there to observe."
"Considering that you two can't stay up all night, you'll be in charge during the day... I'll be in charge the entire night, how about that?"
This suggestion was reasonable, and Ran and Yukiko nodded in agreement.
"Since you're awake... then please take a look around now. I'm a bit tired and will go back to sleep for a bit." Baishi Hui felt tired, as he hadn't slept since getting on the boat.
Even someone like him, who is a cheat-like player, couldn't quite handle this intensity.
"Okay, okay, Hui, you go back and rest first. Just leave this place to me and Yukiko Aunt!" Ran knew best how long Baishi Hui had been up, so she naturally expressed concern.
"If we encounter any trouble, we'll call you. Sleep peacefully." Yukiko also said that the two of them would be fine.
"Alright, then I'll leave this place to you." After saying goodbye, Baishi Hui went inside the cabin to rest.
Only Ran and Yukiko were left on the yacht.
The situation was a bit awkward.
Especially for Ran, she used to regard Yukiko as her future mother-in-law, but now...
"Um... Yukiko Aunt, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?" She quickly found a topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I told you to call me Akemi~~~~ Let's eat the morning portion first." Yukiko said with a light laugh.
Actually, she was also a bit awkward. In a sense, she had wronged Ran.
However, she was an actress and was very good at controlling her emotions.
While eating the simple canned food, Yukiko asked, "Ran, can you tell me a little about Shirashi-kun?"
She wanted to know what kind of person he was in Ran's eyes.
"No problem, Yukiko Au— Mmm... Akemi." Ran still wanted to call her Aunt, but Yukiko covered her mouth with her hand, so she had to change her words.
Only then did Yukiko nod in satisfaction and say with anticipation, "Tell me in more detail!!"
Ran thought for a moment and then slowly began to speak.
...
Night fell.
After Baishi Hui had rested enough, he came out of the cabin and ate dinner with them.
"Mmm... I'm tired, I'll go back to rest first, good night." Yukiko's stamina wasn't as good as Ran's. After observing for a whole day, she was quite mentally exhausted.
She said goodbye to the two of them and went back inside the cabin to rest, yawning.
As soon as Yukiko, the third wheel, left, Baishi Hui pulled Ran into his arms and said self-righteously, "You're so cold, I'll warm you up."
This made Ran's face turn red, and she said in a low voice, "Hui... if... if Yukiko Aunt finds out, then... then it won't be good."
"She's already inside the cabin, how could she hear?" Baishi Hui righteously put his hand inside Ran's blanket and asked, "How was your morning?"
"It... it was okay. We just talked about some things from the past." Ran's voice became increasingly soft, and her breathing also became heavier. She said, "Miss Yukiko asked me a lot about your past."
As she spoke, she bit her lip to keep herself from making strange sounds.
"Then you should also tell me about things from your past. I also want to... get to know you deeply." Baishi Hui said, his hands becoming restless.
Under the interference, Ran spoke intermittently, her sentences disjointed, and she even repeated the same thing two or three times.
In the first half of the night, the sea breeze was strong. Amidst the howling wind, there were some soft moans.
The ocean waves rolled one after another, rising and falling, causing the yacht to rock quite violently!
It took Ran several hours to finish talking about her life from age 1 to 4.
Baishi Hui wiped away the glistening sweat beads on Ran's forehead and said, "Tell me about your life after age 4 tomorrow night."
Ran was blushing and very shy, but she still gently nodded her head.
For a girl her age, it was hard to refuse this kind of physical instinctual liking.
What's more, they were doing these things under the starry sky.
Just thinking about it felt very romantic!!
Actually, Ran wished from the bottom of her heart that Yukiko wasn't on this yacht.
They could have their world on the boat and do whatever they wanted!
Without having to be sneaky.
Just as Ran was lost in thought, a rumbling sound pulled her back to reality.
"Are you hungry?" Baishi Hui heard it clearly; it was the sound coming from Ran's stomach.
"Not... not too hungry." Ran said somewhat awkwardly, "Drinking some water will be fine."
"Wait a moment." Baishi Hui chuckled lightly, left Ran's side, and went towards the front of the yacht.
When he came back, he had some extra things in his hands.
It was too dark, and Ran couldn't see clearly for a moment. After getting closer, she was surprised to find that Baishi Hui was holding several rice balls in his hand!
"Here, eat! I secretly hid them." Baishi Hui put the rice balls into Ran's hands.
"This... this..." Ran took the rice balls, feeling both surprised and a little hesitant.
She was surprised by Baishi Hui's favoritism towards her, that he would even secretly hide things for her.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't happy!
This made her unable to blame him.
Who doesn't like being favored?
Ran was no exception.
But hiding food to eat it alone was something she couldn't justify in her heart.
Baishi Hui saw her hesitant expression, knew what Ran was thinking, and said, "If there were conditions, of course, I would also want Miss Yukiko to eat well, but now supplies are insufficient, so I can only make her suffer a bit... Besides, we haven't starved her."
After being reassured like this, Ran felt much better. She mumbled, "Then I'll give my share of the rations to Yukiko Aunt tomorrow!"
"Okay, okay." Baishi Hui nodded, knowing that only this way could Ran eat the rice balls with a clear conscience!
