Model worker and his little darling

After finishing her work, Pingqing looked at Gin expectantly and asked, "When are you coming to Japan, sister?"

"I don't know, you should ask her yourself."

Although he had just seen her in the US not long ago, he still missed his older sister very much, since he spent the most time with Vermouth. He even called her "Mom" when they were little... So, does that mean he and Conan are brothers?

Thinking of this, Pingqing immediately shook his head, banishing the terrible idea.

Seeing that Gin looked tired with his eyes closed, Hirai went over and noticed that Gin had dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he hadn't been sleeping well lately.

"Koto-chan~, what brings you here today?"

Although he hasn't returned to base for the past few months, focusing instead on Uncle's side, he still managed to complete two or three missions. He even provided technical support for Gin's mission last month; they shouldn't be here to settle scores.

Gin opened his eyes, glanced at Hirakiyo, and then closed them again.

Seeing the bloodshot eyes in Gin, Taira was shocked. "Have you not slept for days? Your eyes are so red. I think you're not far from sudden death. If this continues, you'll die young."

Upon hearing Pingqing's words, Gin was so angry that he started emitting cold air. He pulled Pingqing into his arms and slapped him hard on the back.

Regardless of what Gin was doing there, Taira no Kiyoshi tugged at Gin's arm.

"doing what?"

Pingqing rolled her eyes. "I'll take you to sleep. Do you really want to die suddenly?"

After pulling Gin into the room, Taira gave him a push, "Go to sleep quickly. If you suddenly die in my house, I won't be able to explain myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Gin gritted his teeth. Why was this kid being so infuriating today?

Seeing Pingqing turn to leave, Gin grabbed him and said fiercely, "Is this how you always curse me behind my back?"

Pingqing blinked innocently, "I didn't. Okay, okay, be good, go to sleep now, or you won't grow tall."

Gin was taken aback. What was this "coaxing a child" feeling all about?

While Gin was distracted, Pingqing knocked Gin unconscious with a single blow. After shoving him into the blanket, Pingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had the system's support, otherwise he would have been bleeding profusely on the spot.

Honestly, even when you're this tired, you don't know how to get a good night's sleep. Do you think you're Superman?

Back in the living room, Pingqing picked up his computer; he still had things to do.

He was busy until after 3 a.m., and when he glanced at Gin, he found that he was still asleep.

He yawned and went to sleep next door.

The next morning, Gin opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place. He immediately sat up and only relaxed when he realized he was in Hirai's room.

Pushing open the door, he found Aunt Keiko preparing breakfast. Gin glanced at her; he had only appeared before her because Pingqing had assured him that she was absolutely reliable.

It was thanks to Aunt Keiko and Chikako's appearance that Heikichi became more like an ordinary person.

Entering the next room, Gin found Heisei sprawled out asleep. His lips twitched, and he sat on the edge of the bed, pinching Heisei's nose.

Feeling like she couldn't breathe, Pingqing reached out and pushed the hand off her nose, then hugged the blanket and rolled to the side.

Seeing that Hirai was about to roll onto the ground, Gin quickly pulled him back.

After being disturbed by Gin, Hirai struggled to open his heavy eyelids, glanced at Gin, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Little did he know that Gin was watching him intently, and even with his calm mind, he couldn't sleep.

Rubbing his eyes, Pingqing pointed outside and said, "What are you doing so early? Disturbing people's sleep will get you struck by lightning."

"Heh~, you ambushed me last night?"

"I was doing this for your own good. Look, after a good night's sleep, your dark circles are gone."

Gin didn't say anything, but just looked at Hirakiyo's collarbone, the place where he had bitten him before, but now there was no trace left. Gin reached out and touched it, and um, it felt nice.

Pingqing grabbed Gin's hand and glared at him, asking what he was doing touching her so early in the morning.

Seeing this, Gin smiled and pinched Hirai's cheek.

Pingqing sighed helplessly and sat up; he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep. He then reached out and pinched Gin's cheek hard. He had already given up his bed, and this guy was still disturbing his sleep.

Seeing that Gin's face had turned red, Hirakiyo felt that the anger in his heart had finally subsided.

Gin didn't react much, he just stared at Hirakiyo's neck.

Ping Qing's lips twitched. What's wrong with this guy? "What? Do you want to take another bite?"

"Ah."

Then Hirai fell into Gin's arms.

Then Gin bit down on Hirai's collarbone, but ultimately didn't bite down, only leaving a kiss on the collarbone.

Ping Qing stared blankly with wide, bewildered eyes, then pinched his thigh hard. He must have stayed up too late last night and was hallucinating. He was definitely dreaming; he'd be fine once he woke up. He closed his eyes and flopped onto the bed.

Seeing Pingqing's little gesture, Gin immediately put his arm around him.

Ouch, that hurts! When I opened my eyes, all I saw was Gin's handsome face.

Yes! This really isn't a dream!

Heiji stared blankly at Gin, his mind flashing back to the times he had spent with Gin over the years.

Gin saved him, taught him fighting and firearms, and cleaned up the mess he made with Margot. Gin stayed by his side while he regained his memory...

Seeing Hirai staring at him in a daze, Gin reached out and covered Hirai's eyes. "What are you thinking about?"

"Miss you."

As I removed Gin's hand, I saw the slight upturn of his lips, indicating that he was in a good mood.

He watched as Gin licked his lips, then leaned in and kissed his collarbone.

Noticing Hirai's response, Gin tightened his grip, pulling Hirai into a tight embrace.

Neither of them spoke; they simply felt each other's heartbeats in silence.

Gin's smile deepened as he saw Heisei leaning obediently on his shoulder, recalling Heisei's appearance from childhood to adulthood.

He used to be mischievous, cry and fuss, be lazy, and get hurt, but now he's grown up enough to save him...

His child has finally grown up.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already become special people in each other's hearts.

After a long while, Gin patted Hirai's head and said, "Go have breakfast."

"it is good."

After the two finished their breakfast quietly, Pingqing sat on the sofa, looking at the warm sun. Even the weather was nice.

Seeing that Gin had also sat down, Heikiri asked curiously, "Aren't there any missions today?"

"Rest today."

Hmm? Even model workers need to rest?

Even though he was supposed to be resting, Gin was still staring at his phone with a frown, clearly busy with something.

Pingqing sat quietly to one side, secretly braiding Gin's hair. He hadn't done it for many years, and his skills had become rusty.

The sun was shining warmly, and before long, drowsiness crept over Pingqing.

After a long while, Gin put down his phone, looked at his hair, and sighed helplessly.

However, what he didn't understand was why Pingqing liked to sleep so much. Once, Pingqing slept for a full twenty hours at the base, making him think there was something wrong with his health, but it turned out he was just sleeping.

As the sun grew higher, Pingqing woke up.

I glanced at the time; it was almost noon. I remembered that the uncle had told me yesterday that he wanted to eat some dishes from a certain restaurant and asked me to have them delivered today.

He glanced at Gin; he didn't want to go out.

"Koto-chan~, I have to go to the hospital. Tell Aunt Keiko what you want to eat."

After saying that, Pingqing changed his clothes and went out, since he had promised the uncle beforehand.
