Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 423 Caught on the Spot
"Ms. Eri really has good taste. I also think this tie is very suitable."

Enjoying the gentle hands of Eri Kisaki helping him tie his tie, Koji Shimizu sighed seriously.

Kisaki Eri helped him tie his tie, and just as she was about to take her hand back, Shimizu Koji suddenly and silently took her right hand.

Kisaki Eri's hands are slender and graceful, her skin is fair and delicate, and to the touch, they are almost no different from the hands of an eighteen-year-old girl.

Hibiki Eri couldn't help but pause, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she didn't struggle to break free directly. She just rolled her eyes at Shimizu Koji before saying softly, "Koji, don't do this."

Along the way, Koji Shimizu did not do anything presumptuous, and the way they get along seemed to be back on track. Except that Shimizu Koji kept calling her "Miss Eri", which made her feel a little embarrassed, it felt really good to chat with Koji Shimizu.

At this moment, although Shimizu Koji's sudden attack surprised her, it did not make Kisaki Eri feel it was unacceptable.

In fact, as a woman, how could Kisaki Eri not feel any ripples in her heart when she was liked and loved by a handsome boy like Shimizu Koji?

After the recent contacts, Kisaki Eri has got a better understanding of Shimizu Koji. Now in her heart, Shimizu Koji is no longer the reckless young man who showed his love to her simply because of physical desires at the beginning, but a young boy whose feelings have budded but gone astray and who needs redemption and help.

After investigating Koji Shimizu's background and past, Eri Kisaki actually came to this conclusion.

In fact, Eri Kisaki herself is very contradictory. If you say she is confident, she is the undefeated queen of the legal world. If you say she is not confident, she does feel that she is over 30 years old and there is nothing about herself that is worthy of Kōji Shimizu's love.

Hibiki Eri still felt that if it hadn't been for that accident, Shimizu Koji would never have been attracted to her, and the reason for the current situation was that she might have caused some special psychological complex in Shimizu Koji.
As a lawyer, she has naturally dabbled in and studied subjects such as psychology. Among adolescent boys, stories like Shimizu Koji's are not uncommon.

However, these things are buried deep in the heart of Hibari Eri and she will not speak them out.

At this moment, her face turned slightly red and she tried to pull her hand away, but Shimizu Koji still didn't let her go.

"If it's just holding hands, it shouldn't be a big deal. A few days ago, um, well, I won't talk about that."

Shimizu Koji was slightly offended by the fierce look from Kisaki Eri, so he immediately changed the subject, "Anyway, there won't be any acquaintances here, so Aunt Eri, please fulfill my little wish this time."

Koji Shimizu was very sincere, but still very restrained. He just held Kisaki Eri's little hand, without touching or rubbing it. When Kisaki Eri heard his words, she blinked and sighed softly, seeming a little helpless, but still agreed.

"Well, that's fine, but Koji-kun, this is all I can do."

Kisaki Eri's threat was not as cold as before, but rather a bit of a joke. However, Shimizu Koji would not take any risks at this moment. It was still early and there were still many opportunities -

"mom!"

Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice belonging to a young girl was heard, and the whole store was silent for a second.

Shimizu Koji and Kisaki Eri, who were holding hands and looking at each other affectionately, froze at the same time, and then turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.

What came into view was Xiaolan, wearing a cute pink suspender dress, with her eyes wide open, staring closely at the hands holding each other.

Even Eri Kisaki's brain crashed for a second before she came back to her senses, and then she instantly pulled her hand back from Shimizu Koji. Shimizu Koji was also a little panicked, but he reacted quickly and immediately took his hand back from the air before Maori Kogoro and Conan came over behind Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan, why are you here?"

Her heart was pounding and Kisaki Eri was uncontrollably nervous for a moment.

However, Koji Shimizu adjusted his mentality in time and remained expressionless. He glanced at Kogoro Mouri and Conan who were following behind Xiaolan, and he naturally adjusted his tie on his chest.

"Hello, Xiaolan, Uncle Maori."

"Um, Shimizu-san." Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and greeted Shimizu Koji, but then she hurried forward and hugged Kisaki Eri's arm.

"Hmm," Kogoro Mori's face didn't look very good, but looking at Shimizu Koji's straightened face, he couldn't help but feel hesitant in his heart.

He just said it casually just now, but it suddenly came true, and in front of Xiaolan. He couldn't bear the dignity as a man and a father at all. So even though he had a good impression of Shimizu Koji before, he now had a gloomy face and was very cold.

On the side, Xiaolan pulled Fei Yingli and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Mom, why are you here? Why are you with Shimizu? What happened to you just now..."

"Xiaolan, what are you thinking about? Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that Koji-kun was going to attend Sonoko's sister's family dinner with you guys? I was worried that I couldn't thank Koji-kun for saving my life, so I thought of buying him some clothes first."

"Oh, yes, that's right." Xiaolan's enthusiasm for accusing someone suddenly died down.

Although Hibari Eri panicked for a moment, her IQ was definitely back to normal after she came to her senses.

She wasn't sure whether Xiaolan heard their conversation, but if she just saw them holding hands, it wouldn't be considered ambiguous.

So, with just a few words, Kisaki Eri explained everything clearly to Xiaolan, and Mouri Kogoro also almost understood it and breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Shimizu Koji, he was indeed behaving properly at this moment, because he had not yet had time to make a move, and was just chatting and laughing normally with Kisaki Eri.

As soon as I pulled her hand, Xiaolan suddenly appeared. For a moment I didn’t know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.

After all, judging from the situation, his private date with Eri Kisaki might be about to end just as it began.

And it turned out that Koji Shimizu's feeling was correct.

The sudden encounter was also a surprise. After everyone simply greeted each other and clarified some unspeakable misunderstandings, Xiaolan suggested going out for lunch together.

Of course, there was no way that Kisaki Eri could refuse Xiaolan's request, not to mention that she had been misunderstood just now, so Shimizu Koji could only nod and agree.

Of course, it was Eri Kisaki who paid for the tie and casual suit in the end. When she handed the receipt and the bag of clothes to Koji Shimizu, she also gave him an apologetic look, and then was pulled by Xiaolan to the front of the group.
