Chi Feichi sat behind the table, reached out to pick up the hot water bottle, and poured warm water into an empty cup on the table.
Conan lowered his head and stared at Chi Feichi's hand pouring water, his expression still ugly.
Is it because the embroidery on the clothes is too delicate, the hand-dyed layering is too strong, and you tell others that ‘this dress looks expensive, and the price is also expensive’, which invisibly increases the sense of distance?
Or is it snowing outside and too cold, making him feel that too much white in his clothes looks cold?
Or maybe Chi Feichi's exposed skin was too pale against the sky, he was sitting too straight, his expression was too cold, his temperament was too calm, and his eyes were still as calm as deep springs, all of which gave people a feeling of 'indifference'
, enhanced by clothes again?
Fei Chi poked his head out of Chi Fei Chi's sleeve, put his head into the tea cup and drank some water.
Conan stared at Chi Feichi's right hand: "..."
I feel like my friend is even less human.
Chi Fei saw Conan staring at his hand without saying a word. After observing it, he found that the detective's face was frighteningly pale and ugly, and his pupils were dilated, as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Conan slowed down and wanted to look up at Chi Feichi, but found that he was resisting in his heart and said speechlessly, "I said... you should wear black from now on."
Although Chi Feichi wears black, which occasionally gives him the illusion of "I'm here to cause trouble," he still looks like a human being.
And Chi Feichi was wearing white. Every time he saw Chi Feichi, he felt that Chi Feichi didn't look like a human being. He either looked like a ghost or was like this. He wasn't sure whether the feeling was that of a 'god'. After all, he had never seen a god before, so he couldn't tell the difference.
He came out, but it was not normal, making him feel 'horrible' for no reason.
Chi Feichi looked back and said, "Crazy."
Conan: "..."
he……
Forget it, at least the aura that frightened him was no longer so strong.
"Wow!"
The room door was opened.
"Brother Fei Chi, Conan..." Mao Lilan smiled and pulled Haiyuan Ai out. She looked up and saw Chi Fei Chi sitting at the table with his back to the window. The smile on his face froze with his whole body, "I, we
…”
Hui Yuan Ai also froze on the spot, her face was stiff, her pupils were constricted, and she couldn't explain why she felt depressed.
Chi Feichi turned around and looked over. Haiyuan Ai was mostly dressed in blue. The water patterns and white crane dyeing and embroidery work were exquisite and luxurious. The color of the child's belt was brighter, making his little sister look slightly different.
The calm doll can be given full marks.
But what's with this expression? Is he that scary?
(all)
Instant indifference.
In the silence, Fei Chi drank enough water and looked up, "Master, the body temperature of the three of them is so low. Only the heart is orange, and the color of the head is half black."
Chi Feichi didn't know whether the heads of these three people were black or not, but his face was about to turn black. "What's wrong with you two?"
"Ah?" Mao Lilan lowered his head, his mind still a little blank, and subconsciously responded, "No, it's nothing..."
Just as Conan was about to get up to ease the atmosphere, Mouri Kogoro's voice came from outside the door.
"I said, are you okay? Really... After leaving our luggage for so long, Miss Eri said she could accompany us for a walk..."
Conan: "..."
That's it, another one.
"Wow..."
The door to the corridor outside opened, and Mouri Kogoro entered. He saw Chi Feichi sitting behind the table, his right hand resting on the teacup on the table, looking up at him with an indifferent expression, and the white hem of the feather fabric spread on the floor.
Open, the black and gray snake head has just retracted into the white sleeves...
A little bit...
No, I should say...
Conan stood up and wanted to reach out and pull down Chi Feichi's sleeves to act cute and ease the mood of others, but he found that he couldn't reach out. When he thought of pulling down Chi Feichi's sleeves, there seemed to be an invisible consciousness resisting in his heart.
Chi Feichi looked away, stood up, and walked back to the room.
Mouri Kogoro watched the door of the room close, then looked at the other three people, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
In the room, Feichi wrapped his body around Chi Feichi's neck and sighed inwardly.
Alas, the master needs to change clothes again, it's so cold outside.
Chi Feichi took off his kimono and put on the one he was wearing. He pulled Feichi out from under his clothes and took it out.
"Ouch!" Feichi quickly wrapped it around Chi Feichi's arm, trying to move it into his sleeve, "Master, cold, cold, cold..."
Chi Feichi looked at Fei Chi, making sure that Fei Chi's eyes were indeed a little opaque, and reminded him in a low voice, "You are about to shed your skin."
"Ah?" Feichi still tried hard to get into Chi Feichi's sleeve, "But snakes don't shed their skin in winter, right?"
Chi Feichi let go and let Feichi crawl into his sleeve, "Snakes hibernate in winter, don't you hibernate too?"
Feichi got under his clothes and breathed a warm sigh, "Huh... I don't want to hibernate. It would be great to come out and play. I can also go to the hot springs later!"
"Either it's because you haven't hibernated for too long, or it's my problem. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me in time and I will take you back."
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he opened the door and said calmly to the four people who were staying silent outside, "Sorry, I'm a little sleepy, so I won't go out with you."
The other people's reactions just now were wrong. It's possible that Sanwu Golden Finger is planning to cause trouble again.
The chance is 50/50, but it's better for him to avoid other people and stay alone to avoid having a 'monster transformation show' in front of others...
Before the four people outside could speak, the door was closed again by Chi Feichi.
Mao Lilan and Hui Yuan Ai looked at each other, a little worried.
Was it because their reaction just now was too strange, making Brother Fei Chi feel that he was collectively ostracized by everyone?
But there was nothing they could do. They really felt that they shouldn't approach Chi Feichi just now, and they felt the same now. They wanted to go up and knock on the door but couldn't move.
Mouri Kogoro took a deep breath and walked forward quickly. He was about to ask Chi Feichi to come with him in a more relaxed tone, but before he opened his mouth, the door opened again with a 'clatter'.
Chi Feichi looked at Mouri Kogoro who was blocking his door, and explained, "I'm going to take a bath first."
"Ah," Mouri Kogoro said with bewildered eyes, sideways to get out of the way, "Okay..."
Mao Lilan, Conan and Haihara Ai: "..."
This is a teacher who cannot control his disciples at all.
…
Chi Fei went to the indoor hot spring late and found that it was full of people. He asked at the front desk and found out that the open-air hot spring on the cliff behind was currently unoccupied and could be reserved. So he simply booked a reservation for an hour and took Fei Chi to soak in the hot spring.
If conditions permit, he doesn't want to get into bed wearing the clothes he wore when running around outside, but since he has to change clothes to sleep anyway, he might as well take a bath on the way.
Feichi was lying in the gap between the stones beside the hot spring pool, with his tail and most of his body hanging on the water. He patted the water every now and then, with a sad tone, "Master, do you think I'm sick?"
"It may also be that you haven't hibernated for a long time, and your body has been metabolizing and growing, and you need to shed your skin at a certain time. Even in winter, because your daily living environment is warm, there is no need to hibernate, so molting no longer follows the seasonal rules," Chi
Fei Chi leaned on a stone nearby and looked at the misty water in front of him, "Many snakes shed their skin in spring, which means they enter hibernation when it's time to shed their skin. During hibernation, they don't eat or drink to reduce their metabolism, so they can wait for hibernation."
You will shed your skin in the spring after that. Therefore, if you shed your skin now, it does not mean that there is something wrong with your body. Moreover, you can hibernate first, so that you can wait for the weather to get hot before you shed your skin. But I want to confirm, have you felt tight all over your body recently?
Are you uncomfortable?"
"Hmm..." Feichi thought for a while, "It's been a long time. It's been tight for more than a month. I'm used to it. It will be like this after a while anyway. Is this the feeling of being about to shed your skin?"
Chi Feichi: "...Yes."
I don’t know how Fei Chi is still alive today.
This is not the first time. Last time Fei Chi was about to shed his skin, he was still careless and had no idea that he was about to shed his skin. He had to remind him to realize it.
After taking a bath, Chi Fei Chi put on his bathrobe and asked the hotel owner for a plastic box and wet towel while carrying Fei Chi.
When they were brought to the room, the other four people had already gone out. Chi Fei entered the bedroom late and prepared a simple 'lounge' for Fei Chi with boxes and wet towels.
There is heating in the room, so Fei Chi will not get cold if he stays inside, and it can also keep the environment moist, which will help shed his skin in a few days.
Fei Chi lay in the box for a while, watching Chi Fei Chi get into bed to sleep. After waiting for a while, he opened the lid and jumped into the bed with a swish. He quietly climbed up to Chi Fei Chi's chest and stuck his head out of the bed.
Chi Feichi opened his eyes and stared.
"Ahem, Master," Fei Chi said with a guilty conscience, "You haven't slept yet. I don't want to live in the box by myself. It's a bit cold."
Chi Feichi said "hmm" and closed his eyes.
Whoever wants to shed his skin is the biggest, his own snake is spoiled by his own family.
…
On the path outside the hotel, snow was shoveled to both sides of the road.
Mouri Kogoro and Conan walked silently, and Maori Lan held hands with Haibara Ai and walked quietly behind.
"What's wrong?" Akechi Eri asked with concern, "No one seems to be in a very high mood."
Mao Lilan sighed and forced a smile, "It's okay. I'm sorry, Teacher Huili, for ruining your mood of watching the scenery."
"It doesn't matter, I often write at the Kotoya Hotel. I have seen the scenery here before," Akechi Eri said with a smile, "I'm just worried about you. Mr. Chi is not with you, and my little sister is dressed so beautifully but she looks worried.
The way he looks, could it be that Mr. Chi is ill?"
"No." Mao Lilan quickly denied.
"So... was it a quarrel?" Akechi Eri guessed.
"No..." Mao Lilan hesitated and looked at the statue enshrined on the roadside in front, "Teacher Huili, it's not that we want to hide it from you, but we really don't know what to say. Brother Fei Chi said he was a little sleepy and wanted to rest.
, didn’t come with us anymore, we didn’t quarrel before, it was just..."
"It's just that the boy changed into a white and blue kimono, and something seemed a little wrong." Mouri Kogoro glanced at the statue on the roadside with his half-moon eyes, "It looked like a statue of a god. It was strange. We were frightened for a moment.
."
"Ah?" Akechi Eri looked at the statue in confusion.
The statues here are all kimono sleeve gods, and they look like women wearing gorgeous kimonos.
She thought about Chi Feichi's handsome face and slender figure, and she could never imagine that any kimono could make such a person 'scary'.
"It's not that it looks scary," Mao Lilan looked at the statue and recalled the feeling at that time, "it's a very strange feeling, just like facing the statue of a god. It feels very strange and requires us to be in awe. That feeling is very...
It was uncomfortable, as if he was separated from everyone by something invisible, so we couldn't speak at all at that time, and we didn't want to get close to him. We were obviously worried that he was overthinking it, when he said he wouldn't come.
, there is no way to persuade him to come together..."
