Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

Eri Kisaki also joined in the persuasion:

“That’s right, it’s good to make more money now. In the cases I’ve handled, many people gave up their jobs for love, and the outcomes weren’t very good. Xiao Lili, women like us who live alone will always feel insecure if we don’t save up some money.”

Because the order in which they persuaded him was based on his distance from Rain City and Glass.

The conversation about comforting her unfolded in the same order as Yu Cheng Liuli's outpouring of grievances.

Wen Shui, who was standing in third place, hesitated for a moment before adding, "Besides, I don't think you're old at all, Miss Yu Cheng. When we met outside the villa earlier, I thought you were a female college student working part-time. As for your boyfriend, you don't need to worry about that either."

The corridor suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stopped and looked at Wen Shui with strange eyes.

Yu Cheng Liuli lowered her head shyly. A faint pink blush rose on her fair cheeks, which were covered in light makeup. The dim light of the corridor fell on her slender eyelashes, reflecting a delicate and beautiful glassy light.

Sensing the two murderous auras, Wen Shui instinctively took a step back.

"No, wait a minute, aren't we comforting Miss Yucheng?" Wen Shui looked at Xiao Lan, who was behind him in line, and encouraged her, "It's your turn, Xiao Lan. Quickly show your angelic, healing smile and help Miss Yucheng, who is about to be crushed by life, to cheer up again!"

Wen Shui spoke with such infectious emotion that he himself was almost moved to tears.

Xiaolan's expression was unfriendly: "I'm sorry, but I actually feel that Wen Shui, who suddenly said strange things to her elders, really needs to be 'healed'."

Yukiko Kudo stood behind Ran, secretly cheering her on.

After her initial surprise, Yu Cheng Liuli laughed and joined in the fun: "Handsome boy, saying that I'm being crushed by life is too much of an exaggeration. My living conditions are still very good, it's just that I'm under a lot of pressure."

“That’s the problem.” Wen Shui casually dodged Xiao Lan’s knee strike and slipped behind Uncle Mao Li. “I’ve heard that many female celebrities are in a state of high stress all year round, which has a great impact on their skin and lifespan.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Eri Kisaki and Yukiko, who had both been under high pressure recently due to work and strange reasons, subconsciously touched their cheeks.

Ran and Wen Shui then surrounded Kogoro Mouri, playing tag, a game that Genta and the others loved.

"Damn it, don't use me as a shield!" Uncle Mori angrily rebuked Wen Shui's shameless behavior, then turned to Xiao Lan and said, "And you, Xiao Lan, can you aim carefully before you hit me? My back can't take this kind of abuse."

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki reluctantly stepped forward: "Alright, Ran, Wen Shui was just trying to comfort Ruri... cough, that's what she said, it's not disrespectful to an elder."

"But, Mom..." Xiaolan clearly didn't want to let Wenshui off the hook. She finally found an excuse to settle all the scores from before and teach him a lesson.

Eri Kisaki: "I've known this guy this way since the day I met him. If you want to be friends with him for life, you should accept this reality before making a decision."

Wen Shui couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, thinking that Eri Kisaki truly lived up to her reputation as a great lawyer, even managing to connect mediating a fight to her daughter's life-long happiness.

Eri Kisaki was clearly giving Ran a warning, urging her to think carefully about her future plans.

Ran tilted her head and carefully recalled the situation when Onami and Yukiko first met at the coffee shop: "That makes sense. If this is considered disrespectful to elders, Aunt Kudo would have shot Onami dozens of times over."

Yukiko Kudo looked exasperated: "Ran, I feel like what you're saying is disrespectful to your elders."

Ran stuck out her tongue and walked over to Yukiko, taking her arm. "Sorry, it's all that Nukumizu's fault, he made me so angry I felt dizzy..."

“You’ve already told the truth,” Wen Shui interjected.

"Damn it, you brat!" Kudo Yukiko was used to arguing with Wenshui. When she couldn't win an argument with Wenshui, she would resort to force to get back at him, but unfortunately, she always ended up losing with a red face.

At that moment, Yukiko suddenly heard Onami start talking nonsense again, just like she usually does at home, and her body reacted instinctively.

Mrs. Kudo raised her long, beautiful legs, which were covered in white stockings, and gave the warm water a rather imperfect "karate side kick".

She learned this move from Ran. Although Yukiko Kudo is older, she has amazing flexibility due to her frequent yoga practice, and can make many incredible poses.

Unfortunately, her strength wasn't as terrifying as Xiaolan's, and she couldn't easily kick the concrete utility pole, so she always managed to dodge the warm water.

This time is the same as before.

Warm Water deftly dodged Kudo Yukiko's attack, but because the corridor was too narrow, he didn't have much room to dodge.

Warm water accidentally bumped into two soft cushioning pads on her back.

Before he could even figure out which older sister was behind him, he heard a sudden, unexpected exclamation.

A pair of slender arms instinctively grabbed Wen Shui's waist before she fell.

Then Wen Shui found herself being embraced by a dignified and elegant older sister right in front of everyone, and falling onto the wooden floor of the villa's corridor.

(P.S.: What do you guys think of Rain City Glass? Are you interested?)

Chapter 218 Punishing Mrs. Kudo, and Ran's Dream

Warm water nestled against the silky fabric of her dark red evening gown, making her feel as if she had just bought a new pillow, though the pillow's height felt a little unusual.

However, the faint fragrance lingering in the air is still quite pleasant.

Upon noticing the fragrance, Wen Shui's blank mind immediately began to work, analyzing the chemical composition of the scent and quickly discovering that it was the white plum fragrance that she had previously found very special.

In other words...

At least it could be ruled out that the person behind her wasn't Eri Kisaki. While Wen Shui breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little regretful deep down.

Although she can't think about those things too much because of Ran, who among those who have read the original Conan manga wouldn't be interested in the intellectual and cold legal queen, not to mention that Eri Kisaki is actually a love-struck person.

The kind of person you can manipulate and order around if you've appeased them.

The contrast is off the charts, isn't it?

To verify her suspicions, Wen Shui slowly raised her head and found that what appeared before her was indeed Yu Cheng Liuli's delicate face, which resembled that of a widow and carried a faint chill.

Of course, since the two of them were lying on the ground, Wen Shui's gaze was also looking up from below.

This caused him to see a portion of the flattened, snow-white pillow.

Wen Shui was startled, somewhat incredulous.

In the instant he fell, he instinctively judged from the fact that the person behind him was probably Eri Kisaki, since Yukiko Kudo was in front of him. Before and after Nuwa fell, there were only Eri Kisaki and Ruri Amashiro behind him.

To Wen Shui's surprise, Yu Cheng Liuli looked so slender that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow her away.

Surprisingly, he was quite knowledgeable in the "key position".

That's really surprising.

However, with so many people watching, Wen Shui felt embarrassed to continue taking advantage of others and quickly got up from the ground.

Yukiko Kudo immediately ran over to apologize: "I'm so sorry, Ruri, it's all my fault for fooling around with that kid, causing you to fall. Are you alright?"

As Wen Shui watched Yukiko apologetically examining Yukiko's arm, she couldn't help but think to herself, "I'm the one who's being attacked by you."

Why don't you comfort my wounded heart first?

That woman is really going too far.

After getting up from the ground, Yu Cheng Liuli glared at Wen Shui with some embarrassment: "Hey, what was that regretful look on your face just now? Am I not the one you want?"

"I didn't, you must be mistaken," Wen Shui immediately retorted.

Yu Cheng Liuli snorted coldly, straightened her slightly disheveled dress, and said coldly, "I really didn't expect Mr. Wen Shui to have such a big heart. It seems I underestimated you before."

Rain City Glass clearly had a hidden meaning.

But only Wen Shui could hear the sarcasm in her words, implying that Wen Shui had feelings for Eri in addition to Ran.

Wen Shui looked aggrieved, but couldn't explain, so she could only look at the other person with apologetic eyes.

However, what puzzled him was that Yu Cheng Liuli's reaction seemed a bit too strong. Judging from her previous joking suggestion of a date, Yu Cheng Liuli should be quite familiar with this level of contact.

But her reaction just now was like that of a novice with no dating experience.

Not to mention, to get so angry just because someone used her as a pillow, especially in front of an old classmate, clearly crossed her bottom line.

Could it be that Yu Cheng Liuli is the type of person whose career development is hindered by her self-discipline despite being in the entertainment industry?

Wen Shui started to have random thoughts.

"Alright, Riri, let's hurry to the garden." Eri tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, but her expression was clearly off, because the warm water was being poured towards Ruri Amashiro and her.

You can't make jokes like that, Xiaolan is still here.

As expected of an excellent actress, Yu Cheng Liuli took a deep breath and regained her composure. Then, she took Eri's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Eri. I think I was also influenced by Kazami Yoshiteru. I suddenly felt like losing my temper."

"It's alright, Wen Shui-jun is very gentle and won't take such a small thing to heart," Eri Kisaki said, trying to smooth things over.

"I didn't scare you just now, did I, handsome young man?" Yu Cheng Liuli said with a light laugh, but it seemed to imply something. "That's how women are when they get older, their tempers become unpredictable. You'd better be careful in the future."

This is clearly a reminder to Wen Shui not to overthink things and to just focus on dating Xiao Lan honestly.

Wen Shui couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that his acting skills couldn't fool him. However, he hadn't intended for anything to happen between him and Eri, and since she had already apologized, it would be too much of a mood killer if he kept a straight face: "It's okay, I'm used to it. After all, my boss is a very unpredictable person... uh, big sister."

In the end, Wen Shui chose a relatively euphemistic term.

Yukiko Kudo snorted coldly, her gaze falling on Ruri Amashiro's chest. After comparing the two, she felt that her chances of winning were still higher.

Afterwards, everyone continued walking along the corridor towards the garden behind the villa.

Of course, during the process, Wen Shui didn't forget to secretly punish Kudo Yukiko, the instigator of this accident.

He was stunned when Yu Chengli opened the back door of the villa and everyone saw the garden bathed in soft moonlight.

He slapped Yukiko Kudo's peach-shaped buttocks hard.

The white dress, which normally gives a pure and flawless visual impact, now stirs up a contrasting wave of flesh.

"Well!"

Yukiko Kudo gasped in surprise, her fair and delicate face instantly turning bright red.

Everyone looked at Yukiko. Ran asked curiously, "What's wrong, Aunt Kudo?"

"It's nothing, I just couldn't help myself when I suddenly saw such a beautiful view," Yukiko Kudo replied with a smile, then gritted her teeth and glared at Wen Shui with murderous intent.

Wen Shui chuckled softly and was the first to leave the villa, denying Kudo Yukiko a chance for revenge.

.

As soon as Wen Shui stepped out of the villa, a wave of humid air hit her.

You can vaguely smell that unique scent that comes before it rains.

Wen Shui looked around and found that the garden behind the villa was not very big, far less spacious and grand than the courtyard in front of the villa, but it had a more understated and refined feel.

The garden is planted with many flowers that Wen Shui doesn't know the names of, as well as shrubs that are mainly pure green, all of which are trimmed into neat shapes. Combined with the faint moonlight and the light shining from the villa's windows, it gives one the illusion of accidentally stepping into a fairy tale world.

Before everyone had even come out of the villa, Wen Shui suddenly noticed an animal in the bushes near the window, scurrying around and making noises.

"Wait a minute, don't go near the bushes yet," Wen Shui shouted. "Uncle Maoli, go see if you have any handy weapons. Maybe some animals from the mountains have come in."

This is, after all, the wilderness, so there are no large animals like tigers or bears around.
