"Then Xiaojing, come with me to the office today."

Eri Kisaki then spoke up: "It just so happens that we need to prepare some adoption-related documents."

Chu Zhong knew very little about the law, and even less about adoption, so naturally he believed whatever Fei Yingli said.

So after having breakfast, the four split into two groups: Chu Zhong and Mo Li Lan went to school, while Fei Ying Li drove Hai Yuan Shizuka to the law firm.

Good morning, teacher!

At the law firm's reception desk, Kuriyama Midori greeted everyone with a smile, her gaze quickly settling on the short figure beside Kisaki Eri. "And this is..."

"She is Shizuka." Eri Kisaki said simply, without further explanation, and led Shizuka Haibara into the office.

Kuriyama Midori didn't dare ask any more questions, but after the office door closed, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Could it be... a possible... illegitimate daughter?!"

He then shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible! How could a teacher be that kind of person..."

in the office.

Eri pulled Shizuka Haibara to sit on the sofa: "Shizuka, do you know what 'adoption' means?"

Haibara Shizuka nodded.

"If the adoption is completed, you'll have to change how you address Xiaojing from now on... Are you willing?"

As Eri asked the question, she stared intently at Shizuka Haibara's youthful face.

Haibara Shizuka nodded calmly.

"You really don't mind?"

Eri asked repeatedly.

Haibara Shizuka's response was to throw herself into Eri Kisaki's arms and say in a slightly innocent and childish voice, "Brother Chu said that Sister Kisaki is the most amazing lawyer in Japan."

"Even those bad guys are afraid when they hear Sister Fei's name."

Haibara Shizuka knew perfectly well that being 'adopted' was the best way to resolve her identity issue.

Asking her to suddenly use a more intimate term of address was something Haibara Shizuka found hard to say, but considering her actual age, calling her "older sister" was still quite easy.

"In this case……"

Eri Kisaki gently stroked Shizuka Haibara's smooth, long hair. "Once the adoption procedures are completed, Shizuka, we'll be family from now on."

He then added, "Since we're family, we shouldn't keep secrets."

"Xiaojing, since you got separated from your sister, why did you trust Chu Jun, whom you had just met, so much and even went home with him?"

Haibara Shizuka lifted her head from Eri Kisaki's embrace, revealing innocent eyes, "Brother Chu saved Shizuka from the bad guys and even bought her delicious food and new clothes, so of course he's a good guy."

"Then... Xiaojing, your mother... cough, your sister, has she ever mentioned Chu Jun's name?"

Haibara Shizuka shook her head.

"What about the photos? Have you seen any photos of Chu Jun?"

Haibara Shizuka shook her head again.

"Xiaojing, describe your father's appearance again..."

Eri Kisaki subtly probed for information about the true relationship between Shizuka Haibara and Chu Zhong.

But no matter how many inquiries I made, there was no real progress...

lunch time.

As an assistant, Midori Kuriyama went to a nearby restaurant to get lunch.

Eri Kisaki then pulled Shizuka Haibara aside to continue chatting.

Ding-dong-

Until the doorbell rings.

"Xiaojing, you sit here, I'm going out to take a look."

Eri Kisaki got up, walked behind her desk, took something, and left the office.

He then handed the items in his hand to the woman standing at the door.

"Attorney Fei, is this what we need to test?"

The woman, dressed in a police uniform, skillfully took the transparent resealable bag and noticed two strands of hair inside: "Is this for a paternity test?"

Because of her profession, Eri Kisaki frequently visited the police station to conduct forensic examinations based on evidence provided by her clients.

Sometimes, when work is too busy and there is no time to go in person, I call the forensic department to come and reimburse their travel expenses.

Eri Kisaki is particularly skilled in divorce cases, many of which involve children. Before determining custody in a divorce case, she usually goes through a process involving an apology.

Eri Kisaki nodded. "This case is very important. Please give us a result as soon as possible."

The forensic team member nodded. "We'll notify you immediately once we have the results!"

After confirming that the two hairs in the sealed bag were both fresh with follicles, the forensic team quickly left.

"Wait until the results are out, then let's see how you try to argue!"

Eri Kisaki stood at the door, muttering to herself, "They were here first..."

at the same time.

Chu Zhong, who was being talked about, was enjoying the beautiful scenery on the rooftop of the Teitan High School teaching building.

Today is springtime, and the spring sunshine is bright and beautiful.

"Chu Jun~ I've missed you so much~~~"

In her arms lay Sonoko, who was playfully fussing and expressing her longing. Her voice trembled as she exclaimed in admiration, "Truly, no toy can compare to this..."

Chu Zhong was both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected Yuanzi to be so straightforward, even revealing her attempt to kill time with toys.

"Sonoko, you were only going to take a look, weren't you? How did you secretly buy it?!" Ran Mouri exclaimed in surprise.

"It's just out of curiosity, and I just want something new," Sonoko explained, adding, "If Chu-jun wants to use it in the future, it can add a bit of fun, right?"

"My mom just invited Chu Jun to visit in a few days. Xiao Lan, you can come along too, that would be great..."

Ran Mouri rolled her eyes at her best friend, Sonoko, who had invited her elders to visit, was actually up to this kind of idea.

Chu Zhong then asked, "Is there anything I should be careful about?"

Sonoko patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry about anything, I'll protect you."

However, Chu Zhong couldn't easily believe what Yuanzi said.

There's no reason why Suzuki Tomoko would suddenly invite him; she must know something and want to observe further.

I just hope that we won't see any melodramatic TV drama plots like "I'll give you 500 million yen, leave my daughter."

Afterwards, Chu Zhong took Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi to the edge of the rooftop to enjoy the scenery further.

The rooftop of the teaching building not only has railings, but also tall protective netting, dividing the spring scenery into small squares. It's better to get a closer look to see it more clearly.

Ran and Sonoko quickly grabbed the safety netting with both hands, leaned forward, and eagerly looked out. Their skirts were shapely, making the view even more enticing...

12:50,

Even at midday in spring, the sun is still quite intense.

"This is outrageous."

"Exactly, it's always like this. Even movies don't go that far..."

Ran and Sonoko wiped their sweat with tissues while whispering to each other, their faces beaming with sweet smiles.

"Lord Chu, how did you do that?"

The two best friends both cast curious glances their way.

Chu Zhong smiled and said, "I don't know either... Maybe it's because when I see someone I like, I naturally feel motivated to move forward."

As he spoke, Chu Zhong pointed to his increasingly prominent abs, "I used to be too lazy to work out, but now..."

Since the last beach trip, Chu Zhong has been doing abdominal muscle training and push-up exercises almost every day. Even after returning from the trip and starting a large-scale dungeon, he hasn't stopped exercising.

Although the endurance bar is basically unlimited, it still consumes energy during exercise. Through day after day of high-intensity training, muscle definition has begun to take shape.

It was a complete surprise.

"Chu Jun is really something, training like this..." Ran Mouri scolded playfully, but her eyes were full of joy.

Since Chu Jun's abs only appeared now, it proves that he had no prior training experience. In other words...

Sonoko chuckled and reminded her, "Ran, have you noticed that you've lost several pounds since you came back from your last trip?"

Ran Mouri, recalling the grueling workout that left her drenched in sweat, exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be...?"

"That's right! It's the benefit of training each other!" Sonoko said happily, "Now I can eat desserts without worry!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's gaze toward Chu Zhong became even more fervent.

Girls in love are always extra concerned about their weight and figure, but now they've discovered an easy way to burn fat...

Chu Zhong smiled enigmatically: "What did you mean by what you just said? Did you perhaps intend to…?"

"No, no, no, no..." Ran and Sonoko shook their heads repeatedly.

Exercise does burn fat quickly, but it also depends on whether your body can handle it.

Right now, the two best friends' legs are sore and weak, and they need to rest for at least two days to recover before they can exercise again.

Chu Zhong nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, it's about time to go back to the classroom."

After this period of training, Chu Zhong has become more and more adept at controlling the intensity, and knows where Ran and Sonoko's physical limits are.

Jingle Bell--

The three of them returned to the classroom just as the school bell rang.

Then Chu Zhong lay down on his desk and began to take a nap.

As for the Garden instance, I already cleared it this morning.

They also opened Xiaolan's instance, allowing the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan to continue studying that immortal-level martial arts manual. By noon, when the instance closed, she had completed two-thirds of the study.

With the perfect score from the dungeon garden and the heartfelt surrender of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan, Chu Zhong's gourd regained two sips of wine in just one morning.

With spiritual energy and experience, another 20,000 came in.

However, I am also mentally exhausted and need to rest.

The only downside is that Vermouth didn't come to school today...

Jingle Bell--

When school was over, Chu Zhong woke up to the sounds of Yuanzi and Xiao Lan calling him.

"I'm sorry, Chu-kun..." Ran Mouri said with a troubled expression, "I just remembered that today is a training day for the karate club, and everyone has to report to the club."

"I can't go with you to buy clothes for Xiaojing."

When Chu Zhong brought Haibara Shizuka home yesterday, he only had one set of clothes, which was obviously not enough.

On the way to school in the morning, we agreed to go shopping together after school to buy clothes for Haibara Shizuka.

"It's alright," Chu Zhong smiled. "We can just go together after Xiao Lan finishes your training."

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen you train, Xiaolan."

In reality, Chu Zhong wanted to see how much progress Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, could make after studying martial arts insights.

"By the way, Xiaolan, how's your recovery going? Is it interfering with your training?"

Worried that Xiao Lan wouldn't be able to perform to her full potential, Chu Zhong specifically inquired about her.

"It's all over now..."

Ran Mouri blushed slightly: "As long as it's not... it's fine."

It's not that Chu Zhong is stingy with the wine in his gourd.
