I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Xiaolan's face became even redder. She bit her lower lip and tried to muster up her courage. Finally, she spoke in a voice as light as a mosquito's hum.

"I've already bought the 'that' I mentioned before. It's under the bed. There's a big box of it."

"..."

There was no need to say more after the painting had come to this point. Serabelle picked up the girl in her arms and strode into the bedroom.

Close the door and listen to the sound of flowing spring.

……

From the setting sun in the afternoon until dusk, as the last ray of sunset outside the window completely disappeared over the horizon, the noise in Kisaki Eri's house finally gradually calmed down.

In the bedroom which was a little dim because the lights were not on, Xiaolan, with only half of her lace underwear left on, lay quietly on her side in the quilt, clinging to the boy who was in the same bed with her, with her warm cheek pressed against his hot chest, listening to the strong beating of his heart inside.

On the bedside table on the other side was a newly opened bottle of "body lotion".

"Sera-kun."

Xiaolan called the boy's name softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Serabelle's calm nasal voice came from above his head.

"Ok?"

"I just wanted to ask...about your going out this afternoon."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.

"Did you go to investigate the sniper attack that happened on Suzuki Tower yesterday?"

"Ah."

There was also no concealment from Xiao Lan Cela Belle.

"It was Teacher Judy from your school. A few FBI agents found me later. Although only one of them came at that time, he gave me a list of people in Japan who might have helped Timothy Hunter commit the crime and related information, and wanted me to help investigate."

"Is it dangerous?" This is what Xiaolan is most concerned about.

"not dangerous."

Serabelle thought for a moment and added another sentence.

“It’s not dangerous at the moment.”

"I see. That's it."

Hearing that it was not dangerous, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried.

"But no matter what, they are all former Navy SEAL snipers. If you really want to get involved, please promise me that you will put your own safety first!"

“…Of course.”

The unicorn girl's tone was unexpectedly firm, so much so that Serabelle was slightly stunned.

"They asked me for help this time, and I only agreed to help them out of a certain degree of affection. If there is any danger, I will handle it properly."

"That's good."

Xiaolan smiled relievedly.

However, just as she habitually picked up the bedside phone, turned on the screen and checked the time, the unicorn girl suddenly sat up from the quilt with a cry without any warning, and a large area of ​​her snow-white skin was exposed to the air in the darkness.

"Oh no!"

"...What's wrong?" Serabelle was confused by her sudden reaction.

"Oh no, oh no, it's already half past five."

As Xiaolan spoke, she hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the scattered clothes from the ground and put them on.

"I originally told my mother that I would bring her dinner at six o'clock, but now it's probably too late. I have to hurry..."

"Then let me help."

Serabelle couldn't help but hold her forehead.

After all, if you insist, he is partly responsible for this.

"I'll drive you there when it's done. At least it's faster than walking."

"Uh-huh!"

Chapter 608: The Unaware Mother and the Already Corrupted Daughter

The plan was quite good, but there were some minor problems when it came to execution.

After all, it was already half past five, and there was only half an hour left until six o'clock. Even if we ran as fast as we could, it would still be too rushed.

Generally speaking, it takes nearly an hour for a skilled worker to prepare an ordinary dinner. If you want to finish it within half an hour, you have to use some frozen food.

Because of this, Xiaolan actually forgot to send a message to Kisaki Eri in advance to inform her that she would arrive a little late.

The view changed to the 12th floor of a business building in the city center, in the law office of Eri Kisaki.

In the quiet office, thick documents were still piled on the desk, but Eri Kisaki was not handling official business.

She was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind her desk, overlooking the brilliant lights of the city center below, holding her cell phone tightly in her hand hanging by her side.

The female lawyer pursed her lips and turned to look at the wall clock with anxiety.

It's already 6:20 in the evening.

This is a rather unusual situation.

Normally, Xiaolan should arrive at her place at six o'clock or even five-fifty, but now she is almost half an hour late.

Kisaki Eri wasn't angry, she just started to get a little worried.

Although her good daughter has lost her memory and has not yet recovered, her personality and habits are exactly the same as before she lost her memory. She is still the gentle, kind, punctual and trustworthy child.

Logically speaking, even if there was some emergency that caused him to be late, he would definitely tell her in advance, and he would never just stand her up without saying a word like he did now.

unless……

Stop, don't think too much.

The guess that had just popped up in his mind was forcibly suppressed by Kisaki Eri.

It's like PTSD. Ever since Xiaolan lost her memory after the winter vacation when she was attacked at the Beika Hotel, Eri Kisaki has been particularly resistant to such things.

In fact, if it weren't for Xiaolan's repeated requests, and if it weren't for the fact that Kisara didn't have the conditions to cook, she wouldn't even want her daughter to bring her meals every day like this.

No matter how close his office is to home, no matter how located in the most prosperous and theoretically safe city center in Tokyo.

If something really happened to Xiaolan, then she...

However, just when Kisaki Eri could no longer hold back and finally picked up her phone to make a call, she suddenly saw through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her a very familiar-looking Audi parked on the side of the road on the road below the building.

Then the passenger door opened, and Xiaolan, carrying a thermos lunch box, ran out of the car and headed straight for the main entrance of the building.

Huh?

After confirming that it was indeed her daughter, Kisaki Eri breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Xiaolan did not have any accident on the way or at home.

only……

Her eyes returned to the Audi still parked on the side of the road below, and the female lawyer adjusted her glasses with a little confusion.

Although the perspective was very different from what she usually saw, she still recognized it at a glance and it was undoubtedly Serabel's car.

But why did Xiaolan ask Bell to help drive the meal when she came?

As I was thinking this, after a while, the crisp sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out outside the office.

The next second, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and the unicorn girl, a little out of breath from rushing all the way, ran in with a thermos lunch box in her hand.

"Hoo...Hoo, I'm sorry, Mom. I accidentally overslept this afternoon and got up a little late. I just rushed all the way here."

"orchid."

Seeing her daughter like this, Kisaki Eri felt a little distressed. She quickly stepped forward to take the lunch box and put it on the desk, then turned around and went to the water dispenser to get a cup of warm water and handed it to Xiaolan.

"I've already told you that there's no need to do this. If you really don't have time, just send a message to mom. I can just have dinner by myself. And you overslept in the afternoon. Did you work too hard doing your homework in the morning?"

"Hmm? No, that's not the case. I just... accidentally overslept. It's just a rare thing."

Hearing the concern from her mother, Xiaolan was slightly stunned, then waved her hand quickly.

Theoretically, she didn't deserve this concern. After all, the "oversleeping" she mentioned was completely different from the "oversleeping" that Kisaki Eri understood.

And it's Sera-kun who has this and that relationship with his mother...

Thinking of this, the unicorn girl's cheeks subconsciously turned red, and she had to cover it up by drinking water.

"Oh, right."

As if she suddenly remembered something, Kisaki Eri asked belatedly.

"I just happened to see you coming up, Lan, and it seemed that Sera-kun's car was parked downstairs. Was he the one who brought you here?"

"Eh?"

Xiaolan's hand trembled slightly and the water in the cup almost went into her nose.

She put down the cup, wiped the water droplets splashed on her face, and nodded honestly.

"Yes, because I think it's really too late, so I asked Sera-kun to trouble him to take it there. I'll treat him to a meal as a thank you when I get back."

"I see. That's true."

Kisaragi nodded in agreement, but her eyes involuntarily glanced away.

"No matter what, even if we know each other well and live next door, it's embarrassing to bother others to send you off just because of something like this..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

After hearing these words, Xiaolan kept smiling on the surface, but couldn't help but pouting slightly in her heart.

Really, my mother is obviously dealing with this and that with Sera-kun, but she still pretends that they are just acquaintances between an elder and a backup, and even talks about whether it is a bother or not.

Why didn't you mention the trouble when you and Sera-kun were doing that kind of thing in the office with the door locked?

"I know, I know. Mom, I'll go back first."

Xiaolan took two steps back to the door and waved with a smile.

"The main thing is that if we wait any longer, the food at home will get cold. We can't let Sera-kun eat cold food after thanking him for his help, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Kisaki Eri didn't think too much about it.

"Then Lan, you should go back first. Don't let Sera-kun wait down there for too long."

"Well, bye mom~"

After saying the last sentence, Xiaolan left. Two seconds later, the crisp sound of swaying wind chimes was heard again in the front hall outside.

In the office, Hibiki Eri, who had returned to being alone and quiet, suddenly realized something was wrong.

If Xiaolan were to treat Bell to a meal, it would mean that the two of them would be alone at home. In that case, Xiaolan wouldn't...

no, I can not.

Forcing herself to stop the thought, Kisaki Eri quickly shook her head, then turned back to the desk where dinner was placed.

Let’s eat. We still have some things to deal with later in the evening.

On the other side, downstairs in the business building, Serabelle, who was waiting in the car, saw that Xiaolan seemed a little unhappy when she returned, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Aunt Eiri?"

"without……"

Xiaolan glanced at him and pouted.

"I just suddenly had an idea."

"What?" A question mark appeared on Serabelle's head.

"I want you to feed me when we get back for dinner later."

The girl thought for a moment and added.
