Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"Looks like someone's not being honest."

In the living room where only the two of them remained, Eri Kisaki teased.

"Nothing really happened..."

Chu Zhong felt that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, but he still couldn't help but offer an explanation.

Eri Kisaki smiled and said, "Ran was like that, who would believe that... Are you really that cowardly, daring to do something but not daring to admit it?"

"If Sister Fei doesn't believe me, you can ask Xiao Lan," Chu Zhong said, then walked towards the gate.

Then Eri Kisaki pressed her shoulder down: "Where do you think you're going to run off to tonight?"

Chu Zhong was somewhat confused by what he heard.

What does 'escape' mean?

Why does it seem like Eri Kisaki isn't too happy about his decision to go back to his original place to sleep yesterday?

"I'll be staying here tonight."

Chu Zhong had no choice but to explain, "I was just going to buy ingredients for dinner."

If we don't leave any trace, how can we observe Xiaolan's recovery from her cold and activate the hidden mode of the dungeon?

"I'll drive you."

Without saying a word, Eri followed Chu Zhong out the door and chuckled, "This way, you'll have time to explain what happened earlier on the way."

This reason left Chu Zhong speechless.

I had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat and briefly explain what had happened.

Knowing that Xiaolan was shy, he deliberately concealed some details, only saying that he couldn't resist and took advantage of her during the massage.

"Just taking advantage of someone?" Eri Kisaki seemed a little dissatisfied. "You two are such good friends, why are you being so wishy-washy?"

"If you have any unspeakable difficulties, please speak frankly. I know some doctors..."

Seeing that the topic was getting further and further off track, Chu Zhong had no choice but to cough lightly: "Sister Fei, don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy... But Sister Fei, why are you more anxious than I am?"

Eri raised an eyebrow, speaking with self-righteousness: "As a mother, is it wrong to care about my daughter's relationship status?"

"Since you both like each other, is it a bad thing to make your relationship official sooner?"

"So that I don't ruin my health by being too pent up and end up having affairs..."

Aside from the topic being somewhat inappropriate, Chu Zhong couldn't refute it.

Chapter 119 The Queen's Reward

I didn't expect Eri Kisaki to talk so directly. It was the most private thing, but she said it as if it were the most ordinary thing.

Under the influence of this open and frank atmosphere, Chu Zhong no longer concealed anything and answered honestly:

"Xiaolan is suffering from a cold, how could I take advantage of her... We can talk about everything once she recovers from her cold, there's no rush."

But then Eri said, "What do you mean by feeling unwell from a cold? I sent Ran a text message this morning before I left because I saw that her cold was almost gone..."

"Chu Jun, were you deceived by Xiao Lan?"

Chu Zhong was stunned for a moment, "No way, when I arrived this morning, I saw that Xiao Lan was coughing quite frequently..."

Eri interrupted, "Ran doesn't have any coughing symptoms at all."

Now, Chu Zhong also recalled the mischievous look he had seen on Xiao Lan's face earlier.

It seems I really was fooled by Xiaolan...

However, Chu Zhong quickly felt relieved. "It's even better that she's not coughing. Xiao Lan's cold should be fully recovered by tomorrow."

"If Xiaolan isn't mentally prepared and is using a cold as an excuse to postpone it, then I don't mind waiting a few more days."

After all, Xiaolan lied to him, and what she wanted was nothing more than care and attention, which further shows that Xiaolan liked him.

"You're quite patient..."

Eri muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes fixed on the road ahead, observing the road conditions, but a hint of affection flashed in her eyes, "But sometimes you shouldn't be too rule-abiding. Since we're such good friends, it's okay for you to be a little mischievous."

"If you encounter any problems, ask Xiaolan for help, understand?"

Chu Zhong nodded obediently.

For some reason, he felt that Eri Kisaki cared for him even more than she cared for Ran.

What a strange illusion...

At 6:30 p.m., Chu Zhong and Fei Yingli carried shopping bags and brought the groceries they bought from the supermarket back to their apartment.

Ran Mouri had already changed back into her home clothes. After glancing at the ingredients, she took the shopping bag and ran to the kitchen.

Chu Zhong had purchased these ingredients according to the cookbook, so he guessed that Xiao Lan had already decided what dish to make.

"Lord Chu, could you please come here for a moment?"

Hearing Xiaolan calling from the kitchen, Chu Zhong quickly rushed over.

Just as she was about to help prepare the ingredients, Xiao Lan pressed down on her shoulder: "Chu Jun has been busy taking care of me today and even went to buy ingredients. He must be tired. You can leave the kitchen to me."

Seeing that Xiaolan was in high spirits and full of energy, and seemed to have recovered from her cold, Chu Zhong no longer declined.

Since you didn't ask him for help, then why...?

"Um..." Ran Mouri lowered her voice shyly, "About what happened earlier, with Mom..."

Chu Zhong understood and smiled, "I've already explained, the misunderstanding has been cleared up... Besides, Sister Fei is open-minded, so it's alright."

Hearing this, Ran Mouri's expression relaxed considerably. She gently nudged Chu Zhong, signaling that he could leave the kitchen.

Her beautiful eyes were still fixed on him, filled with reluctance and affection.

Chu Zhong understood and moved closer again, intending to continue what Fei Yingli had just interrupted.

But Xiaolan gently pushed her again, "Stop it... Mom's still outside..."

He's clearly saying one thing and meaning another.

Thinking of the experience that Fei Yingli had just shared, Chu Zhong immediately pulled Xiao Lan into his arms.

"It can only be... for a little while..." Xiaolan, who had been somewhat resistant just now, immediately started discussing the time.

It seems that Eri Kisaki's advice was indeed useful...

Chu Zhong was secretly delighted and lowered his head to give Xiao Lan a passionate kiss.

And it was noticed that Xiaolan would occasionally glance towards the kitchen doorway, as if she was worried about the appearance of a certain figure.

It gives off a feeling of doing something bad behind the adults' backs.

The faint tension and unease on the girl's face, mixed with shyness, inexplicably made Chu Zhong want to tease her...

Unfortunately, a dozen seconds later, a tremendous force pushed Chu Zhong away without warning.

"It's time..." Ran Mouri gently reminded him, "Wait until after dinner..."

Chu Zhong understood.

Indeed, snacks are better eaten after meals.

At 8 p.m., the three of them had dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and none of them mentioned the unexpected encounter that afternoon.

After washing the dishes, Ran Mouri was immediately pulled by Eri Kisaki to take a shower and bath.

"Xiao Lan, later you..."

While taking a bath, Eri Kisaki leaned close to Ran Mouri's ear and whispered a few words.

Ran Mouri's cheeks were red from the hot water. "That... isn't good..."

"It's just helping to scrub someone's back, what's there to be shy about?" Eri teased. "Didn't you two go completely naked this afternoon?"

"Mom!" Ran Mouri exclaimed, blushing deeply. "It's not what you think...actually..."

Eri gently stroked her 'daughter's' back. "King Chu explained it to me. He said..."

He then repeated Chu Zhong's statement.

Ran Mouri immediately nodded repeatedly.

Eri then continued, "So, was Chu-kun's care adequate? Were you comfortable? Were you happy?"

"..." Ran Mouri didn't dare to answer and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Eri then countered, "Have you considered Chu Jun's situation? Ran, you might not know..."

Little did anyone know, Ran Mouri had already learned a great deal about the subject from her best friend yesterday... but she was too embarrassed to admit it to Eri Kisaki.

"Chu Jun is so thoughtful, Xiao Lan, shouldn't you do the same and help me scrub his back?"

Eri Kisaki offered her earnest advice.

Ran Mouri kept her head down and whispered, "We'll talk about this later..."

The current Ran Mouri is not as naive as she used to be; she knows that back massage can easily lead to accidents.

What if Eri Kisaki eavesdrops outside...? Besides, I already made an agreement with Chu Zhong before cooking...

"Xiaolan, you can't do this..."

Eri Kisaki repeatedly tried to persuade him to no avail, and frowned slightly.

"Mom~" Ran Mouri immediately said in a spoiled tone, "I'll handle things between me and Chu Jun... so you don't need to worry~"

Out of shyness, Ran Mouri could only reveal this much at most.

"Ugh……"

Eri could only sigh helplessly, no longer dwelling on the topic, and instead said, "Ran, your hair seems to have some split ends. Wash your hair later and use conditioner to condition it."

"Ah."

Eight forty,

Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri, wrapped in bath towels, came out of the bathroom and went back to their respective rooms.

Chu Zhong took his pajamas and went into the bathroom... After thinking for a moment, he locked the bathroom door from the inside.

The main problem is that I was still feeling uneasy yesterday in the law firm office because of Eri's pranks, and now she's here to give me another 'test'...

The thought flashed through my mind.

Have I been feeling too good about myself lately?

Chu Zhong couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Even if it were a real test, it couldn't possibly be done to this extent..."

"Besides, what exactly is she testing?"

"Could it really be..."

Chu Zhong shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, quickly rinsed his body clean, and lay down in the bathtub for a soak.

A sound like a door lock jamming was heard.

Outside the frosted glass door, a figure stood vaguely, its identity unclear.

"Is it Xiaolan?" Chu Zhong asked softly.

After all, he and Xiaolan had agreed to meet after dinner.
