"Mom~"
Xiaolan covered her mouth and chuckled, then advised:
"Didn't you just choose a reward?"
"If you're a year younger, you should try some youthful styles!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't that be a waste of the reward?"
"Humph~"
Eri flicked Ran's forehead and hummed softly:
"You just want to see your mother make a fool of herself!"
"You still have matches to play, so wearing a karate uniform would be fine, but you're making me wear these weird clothes!"
"No way~"
Xiao Lan hugged her mother's arm and said sweetly:
"I just want to see my mom when she was young and beautiful!"
"Just wear it!"
Seeing that Eri was still hesitant, Ran turned her eyes and unleashed her ultimate move.
"Oh, right, Yukiko-neechan promised to come watch my match, she should be here soon..."
"Okay, I'll choose this one."
Eri Kisaki picked up one of the shopping bags.
"Hee hee~"
Xiao Lan smiled smugly to herself.
Using Yukiko to provoke her mother was indeed a foolproof method.
When I was little, I would tell my mom whenever I wanted to eat cake.
"Shinichi's mom treated me to cake yesterday, and I like her a lot."
Then Mom will buy herself a cake—of course she'll buy it, since she can't bake one...
Chapter Thirty-Two: The Love Triangle Between Eri and Yukiko
.....
On the sofa in the lounge.
I chatted with Sonoko for a while.
Xia Yegang picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Then I heard the shower door open.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he spat out the tea he was drinking.
A mother and daughter emerge from the bathroom.
Xiaolan, on the other hand, seemed perfectly normal, wearing a new karate uniform.
After all, this is a karate competition, and there are spare brand new uniforms in the shower room.
And Eri.
Xia Ye subconsciously touched her nose.
They were afraid that the blood vessels in the nasal cavity and surrounding tissues would rupture.
This is commonly known as a nosebleed.
It's not that Eri Kisaki's clothes were particularly sexy.
This outfit is perfectly normal.
After all, it was Shiho who made the choice.
Even if the style is unique, it's not that exaggerated.
She wore a simple black T-shirt with a pattern on the chest.
T-shirts are originally designed for a loose fit.
But that's relative to girls like Shiho.
Now, when worn by Eri Kisaki, it transforms into a tight-fitting, figure-hugging style.
This feeling is... magnificent!
The pants are a stylish white washed ripped jeans.
There aren't many holes on it, and it's not unusual.
But as I said before, young girls and mature women are not the same.
The girls' legs were long and slender, while Eri's were plump and rounded.
So, what were originally slightly loose ripped jeans have become skinny jeans.
all in all.
This outfit was originally intended to be playful and stylish.
Yet Eri Kisaki managed to pull off a sexy style that was alluring without being vulgar.
"Cough cough!"
Xia Ye coughed lightly and looked away.
"Garden."
"You can let Mr. Mori and the others in now."
"Good~"
The garden gate was opened in the past.
"Xiaolan!"
Kogoro Mouri rushed in the instant the door opened.
He ran up to Xiaolan and tried to lift her taekwondo uniform.
"roll--!"
Eri Kisaki's face contorted with rage, and she kicked him away with her long leg.
What do you want to do to my daughter?
"Haha, I'm so excited!"
Kogoro Mouri didn't mind, stood up and went to Ran's side, asking with concern:
"Xiaolan, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Dad, I'm okay now!"
To convince her father, Xiaolan deftly performed a backflip on the spot.
"It's okay!"
Kogoro Mouri finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then something else came to mind.
He bowed to Xia Ye, who was sitting on the sofa, and said earnestly:
"Xia Ye, I misunderstood you just now. Thank you for treating Xiao Lan!"
Although it's unclear how she was treated, Ran is clearly better now. Kogoro Mouri doesn't dwell on those minor details at all; that's just his personality.
"Mr. Mori, you flatter me. I really admire your care for your daughter," Xia Ye sighed softly.
"I don't even have the chance to experience that feeling anymore..."
Everyone was speechless.
Kogoro Mouri believed that his parents had died.
Don't know what to say.
The three women understood that it didn't matter whether Xia Ye's parents were there or not.
Xia Ye is now a world away from them, practically unreachable.
Thinking of this, a faint sense of pity arose in their hearts.
As for the person who remained in the room...
Shinichi Kudo is not as oblivious as Kogoro Mouri.
From the moment he entered, he had been secretly observing his surroundings.
Even though Xiaolan seemed to have recovered, he subconsciously kept looking for something amiss.
"Did Ran and Aunt Eri change clothes?"
"..."
Xiao Lan felt a pang of unease and a sense of grievance.
They clearly saw that my injury had healed but didn't come over to check on me; instead, they were concerned about my clothes.
Does he think that Xia Ye and I did something shameful in the room just now?
Eri, standing next to her, also frowned, her expression displeased.
How could someone as smart and clever as Yukiko give birth to such a straight-laced son?
In response to Shinichi Kudo's question, Natsume explained calmly:
"Because I needed to heal Xiaolan's injuries quickly, I used a bit too much force when I did acupuncture."
"Xiao Lan sweated so much that she even soaked Lawyer Fei's clothes, so she had to change them."
Eri nodded to herself.
This is the way to speak with emotional intelligence.
Not only did it clearly explain what happened.
He also helped Xiaolan conceal a very embarrassing experience.
Compared to Shinichi from Yukiko's family, the difference is obvious.
"Then the needle..."
Shinichi Kudo wanted to say something more.
Sonoko interrupted him abruptly, stepped forward, took Ran's hand, and addressed everyone:
"The first match is about to start, let's hurry to the venue."
"What if people outside don't know that Xiaolan is cured and disqualify her from the competition?"
"Yep!"
Kogoro Mouri also realized what was happening.
Xiaolan hasn't told the staff outside that she's recovered yet!
"Let's get out!"
A group of people walked out of the room.
Shinichi Kudo hesitated for a moment.
I'd like to stay and check it more carefully.
However, after weighing the options in my mind, I ultimately gave up.
This isn't a big case; there's no need to be so cautious.
Xiaolan is all better now, so there's no need to worry about it too much.
