Chapter 279 I am your overlord
"I was just practicing Neon language with Mr. Jiang. We were just chatting casually." Kurosaki Saki warmly entertained the few people. When she saw the silver-haired Okiya Subaru, she also warmly entertained them. "Mr. Okiya, are you feeling better? I heard from Miss Xiaolan that you were seriously injured. I'm very worried."
"Ah, they are just minor injuries. I was too careless and fell down when I was changing the light bulb."
As Akai Shuichi was speaking, he was also secretly observing Jiang Xiaobai's reaction. Then he saw the ignorant young man with his eyes rolled up and his face frozen, as if he didn't understand at all.
"Uh? Do you have any questions, Mr. Jiang?"
"No, no, my Neon English is not very good." Jiang Xiaobai immediately shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Okiya, if you speak too fast, Mr. Jiang will need some time to react. After all, it's not his native language, so please bear with me." Kurosaki Saki smoothed things over in time and explained this series of actions to prevent complaints.
"Is that so? Well, I heard that Mr. Jiang is studying for a master's degree. I wonder which school he is in. I am also a graduate student!" Akai Shuichi felt that they were of similar age and were both graduate students, so perhaps they could find common ground.
The truth is that it sounds good, but the problem is that the other party doesn't understand what he is saying at all.
"Yes, I'm a graduate student. Do you need any help? We have a lot of new products in our store today." Jiang Xiaobai asked very seriously and sincerely.
Akai Shuichi smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I am a graduate student of engineering at Toudou University. Where is Mr. Jiang?"
"Would you like to buy some to eat at school? Do you think this is okay? I brought it to my classmates at the University of Tokyo and they all liked it very much." Jiang Xiaobai recommended very seriously.
When Shuichi Akai heard this answer, his head was buzzing. There was no way to communicate, but it seemed like they could communicate. This was very complicated!
But I got some information. He is a student at Jingdong University. Conan said he is majoring in pharmacy. But... can he really get in with such poor Neon skills?
"Well, when does Mr. Jiang usually have classes? We are both graduate students, so we should have a lot to communicate about." Akai Shuichi did not give up. He felt that he could still communicate, but he just hadn't found the trick.
"Yeah, classes are annoying. Since you also like to eat, I think we should have something in common." Jiang Xiaobai answered almost every sentence, but none of them hit the point.
Then she muttered in her native language: "Buying a dessert is such a hassle. He looks manly, but why is he acting like a sissy? Is he trying to disguise his true nature?! Forget it, just think he's in menopause."
The main point is that I understood it, but not quite understood it. But I am very serious and please bear with me. I am not good at Japanese, but I still whispered softly, thinking that others couldn't understand me.
However, Shuichi Akai and Conan could still understand some of it.
This makes them uncomfortable.
I want to refute, but I can't find a reason.
Haibara Ai stared at the two of them with dead eyes. During this irrelevant conversation, she actually discovered that these two people... were a little sick in their brains.
"Hey, Edogawa, are you sure... did he really develop that kind of medicine?"
Haibara Ai really couldn't believe that this person's personality was enough to research that kind of medicine. It was really... similar to those trainee assistants in the organization.
Naive and stupid.
Huihara Ai's mind was wandering, and her eyes were always on Jiang Xiaobai. Watching him chatting irrelevantly, she couldn't help but sigh.
“Is this the person who grew up in the sun?”
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Conan had been listening to Akai Shuichi and Jiang Xiaobai chatting. He only heard what Haibara Ai said and didn't pay attention to what she said.
"Nothing, pick some desserts?"
Haibara Ai was in a much better mood when she saw Jiang Xiaobai. Although this guy was a little dull, he was still very enthusiastic and kept helping to choose the most cost-effective desserts.
For those expensive products, they were only allowed to try them, but were not recommended to buy them. Instead, they were recommended products with similar tastes.
What a nice person!
"Little sister, what desserts do you like? I can recommend them to you." Jiang Xiaobai quickly set his sights on the traitors of the organization, although he was indifferent to them.
But who were the people killed by the organization?
Japanese people!
Because the boss is Japanese, almost all human experiments are conducted on Japanese people, and even mixed-race or other Asian people are rarely used.
And Shirley's betrayal of the organization was a crime in his eyes!
"I want to buy some low-sugar cakes and donuts." Haibara Ai said in a childish tone, as if she treated the person in front of her as an older brother.
"Okay, little sister, these are low-sugar cakes. The yogurt cakes taste great. And these are donuts. They are not fried and have zero sugar..."
Jiang Xiaobai started the introduction in very poor Neon language, and by the end he was just blurting out words.
"Okay, that's all." Haibara Ai replied in English. She could hardly breathe listening to the person in front of her speaking Japanese.
"Okay, so little sister, your English is so good." When Jiang Xiaobai didn't speak Neon language, he sounded fluent.
"My mother is British, so my English is pretty good." Huihara Ai said, then took the packaged dessert, and then a fluffy black cat doll was handed to her.
"Little sister, this is for you." Jiang Xiaobai gave a palm-sized Sable doll to Huihara Ai in order to get closer to her.
"Thank you, Jiang...Brother." Although Haibara Ai didn't know why Edogawa called her "Brother Baba", she felt that it was not a nice word, as if it was like calling him father, so she called him by his last name.
After all, she didn't quite understand how other countries named their names. What if Baba was a name with a special meaning in their country?
It's normal for foreigners like them not to know the meaning of it.
Thinking of this, I asked, "What is the meaning of Brother Jiang's name?"
Others also looked over, and they all felt that this name seemed to be taking advantage of others.
"Hmm? Name? Yes!" Jiang Xiaobai remembered and told them that his name was Jiang Baba, then he smiled with an ambiguous meaning and explained to her very gently: "My name represents a man's responsibility, a domineering way of expression, and means very powerful."
Jiang Xiaobai started talking nonsense seriously.
"Um...is that so? Then brother Baba's parents hope that you will become a powerful person." Conan felt that his parents should have expectations for Jiang Xiaobai.
"Yes, that's right. Every time people call me Dad Jiang, I feel like I'm one step closer to my goal."
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at everyone present, as if he was their father.
