Conan: About the fact that I have a black brother

"Hayasi is back? Is your hand injury getting better?" Yui Uehara saw Lin Xiaochen coming to work to punch in and asked with concern, "Is Tokyo fun?"

"Ah, my arm is almost healed. Tokyo... let's just leave it that way..." Lin Xiaochen said vaguely, "Sister Uehara, let me help you."

Lin Xiaochen stepped forward and took the stack of blue folders from Uehara Yui's hand and placed them on the position marked K in the cabinet.

"Thank you very much, hayasi." Uehara Yui said, "Agan and Morobushi are out on patrol."

"You're back, Lin-san? You've finally gotten some free time." Sanzhishou said, "You've been busy these past few days."

"Thank you so much, everyone. I'm sorry for causing you all trouble." Lin Xiaochen said, "I brought you some souvenirs. I hope you will accept them."

As he said this, he placed the gift box in his hand on the empty desk.

"Is it Japanese confectionery?" Uehara Yui was the first to open the gift box and take out her portion. "It's very exquisite. Thank you, hayasi."

"As long as everyone likes it, I'm injured during this period and asked you to share the work with me. If you seniors need anything, you can ask me to do some chores. Please don't hesitate to do so."

"Then...the matter of changing the water in the drinking machine will be left to Hayasi?" Uehara Yui took over the conversation.

The other police officers were not very familiar with Lin Xiaochen, and they did not say much after getting the promise. After all, the workload was there, and work still had to come first.

Lin Xiaochen returned to work. His current job is to organize files. It is relatively easy but tedious and requires a lot of patience.

Some time ago, this job was given to the more careful Zhu Fu Gaoming. Now when Lin Xiaochen took over again, he found that the other party's ideas were clearer and he began to learn unconsciously.

"Mr. Lin? Did your trip go smoothly?" Zhu Fu Gaoming completed his routine inspection, took off his long coat and hung it on the hanger, and saw Lin Xiaochen who was concentrating on his work.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Lin Xiaochen said politely to Zhu Fugaoming, and nodded to Yamato Ganzhu beside Zhu Fugaoming, "Mr. Yamato."

Yamato Gansuke didn't have a good impression of Lin Xiaochen, so he just winked at him with a straight face and said, "Welcome back, Mr. Lin."

Everything returned to calm, and Lin Xiaochen returned to his nine-to-five work routine.

The system kept nagging in his mind, sometimes complaining about why the comics had not been updated, sometimes saying that the main system was exploiting him again and deducting his bonus, and sometimes urging Lin Xiaochen to go out for a walk so that he could also see the scenery...

Lin Xiaochen was overwhelmed.

"Ah - it's my turn to have a day off tomorrow - I must go out for a walk!" Lin Xiaochen, who had been on duty in the office for three consecutive days, sorted out the records of the theft case and put them aside, then leaned back in his chair and stretched.

Zhufu Gaoming picked up the steaming teacup and took a sip, Yamato Gansuke typed on the computer with a frown on his brow, and Uehara Yui came in from outside with a bowl of hot roasted sweet potatoes.

"Zhufu, there are still hayasi in the agan, come and eat."

It was extra duty time and they were the only four people in the office.

Lin Xiaochen stood up with a bang and rushed to Uehara Yui's side. The wind he brought blew down the files he had just sorted out. He got to Uehara Yui's side and peeked into the paper bag of sweet potatoes like a cat looking for food.

"Slow down, slow down, hayasi." Uehara Yui was amused by his actions and picked out the largest one from them. "Are you hungry?"

"Hmm!" Lin Xiaochen took the sweet potato and broke it open. Because it was just out of the oven, Lin Xiaochen tossed the sweet potato up and down, making a hissing sound from his mouth.

"Mr. Lin hasn't eaten all day." Zhufu Gaoming elegantly took the sweet potato handed to him by Uehara Yui, wrapped his hands with a tissue and slowly peeled off the sweet potato skin.

Yamato Gansuke also stood up from his computer desk: "The people selling roasted sweet potatoes are here. The weather is really getting colder."

"Yeah, maybe it will snow in a few days." Uehara Yui peeled the skin carefully, "Hayashi has never seen snow in Nagano, it's really fatal. If there is a blizzard, the communication cables will be crushed."

"That's really scary." Lin Xiaochen tried hard to swallow a large piece of sweet potato in his mouth, and he stretched his neck because of choking.

Zhu Fugaoming quickly stuffed the water cup to Lin Xiaochen. Lin Xiaochen took a few gulps and swallowed the food. Then he looked carefully and found that the celadon teacup in his hand was the one that Zhu Fugaoming usually used.

"Thank you... Senior Zhufu, your cup..."

Zhu Fu Gaoming took the cup from Lin Xiaochen and said, "Eat fine food and eat fine meat. Please be careful, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiaochen smiled guiltily. It had been a long time since he was reminded like a child.

"Okay." He gave Zhu Fu Gaoming a slightly silly smile.

Uehara Yui gave half of the peeled sweet potato to Lin Xiaochen: "Hayashi, eat slowly."

"Thank you, Sister Uehara. I've had enough." Lin Xiaochen declined politely, "You haven't even taken a single bite yet."

"Okay, I think Hayasi is really hungry, and I'm afraid your stomach will feel uncomfortable." Uehara Yui didn't force it, and took a bite of the sweet potato, "It's not very sweet..."

"It will become sweet after the northwest wind blows." Lin Xiaochen said.

"It seems the weather isn't cold enough." Uehara Yui said, "When the weather gets cold, I want to eat something hot and sweet. Ah, I'm going to gain weight again."

"Indeed, I'm kind of craving for red bean soup." Lin Xiaochen wiped his fingers clean.

"How about we make some peony cakes?" suggested Yui Uehara.

Zhu Fu Gao Ming did not comment, but Yamato Gansuke was the first to agree: "I think it's okay, it will be warm if we make rice cakes together."

"That's great." Uehara Yui's eyes lit up, "Agan's skill in making peony cakes is amazing, hayasi is not to be missed."

Zhu Fu Gaoming also smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Then I will wait for good news."

Yamato Gansuke: "Gao Ming, don't think I don't understand the meaning of waiting for good news. Gao Ming, I will not allow you to be a hands-off boss."

Zhu Fu Gaoming raised his eyebrows: "Oh yeah."
