Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

“It was Chu Jun…” A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed in Eri’s eyes, “I kindly reminded him to be mindful of his behavior, but he thought I was being nagging, so he used this thing to plug it up…”

This caused the two best friends to cover their mouths and giggle.

"Sister Fei, Chu Jun is so capable, you don't need to worry about him."

"Yes, Mom, Chu Jun is really amazing, this afternoon..."

When the two best friends told Eri about what happened at the karate training ground that afternoon in order to explain how amazing Chu Zhong was,

Only Haibara Shizuka, who was slightly shorter, noticed a faintly dark area on Eri Kisaki's office pencil skirt.

It doesn't look like it's been soaked, but there are definitely a lot of water molecules inside the clothes...

After buying the clothes, the group selected daily necessities such as towels and toothbrushes on the street.

It was already past 7 p.m., and there wasn't enough time to go back and cook.

The five of them then chose a cozy family-run restaurant and had dinner together.

Considering Xiaojing's height, Chu Zhong simply held her in his arms when he sat down.

Eri Kisaki sat next to Chu Zhong, while Ran Mouri and Sonoko sat opposite her.

The five people each picked out the dishes they wanted to eat.

While waiting for the food to be served.

Sonoko's gaze fell on Haibara Shizuka's face, and as if she remembered something, she suddenly said, "Does Chu-kun know that Shizuka, at such a young age, already has someone she likes?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Chu Zhong feigned surprise and glanced at Haibara Shizuka in his arms.

Haibara Shizuka waved her hand hastily, "Sonoko-neechan, you're not allowed to say that!"

But the more she acted this way, the more mischievous Sonoko grinned, "Chu-kun, guess who Xiaojing likes~"

Chu Zhong pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

He knew the answer, of course, but he didn't expect Xiaojing to tell Yuanzi and the others.

"It's you, Chu Jun!"

Sonoko joked, "Shizuka even said she wants to marry you when she grows up!"

While picking out clothes at the children's clothing store, the two best friends remarked that Haibara Shizuka would definitely grow up to be a great beauty.

Two girls deeply in love naturally asked Haibara Shizuka what type of boy she liked.

Then they got the information.

"Chu Jun is really popular with women; even Xiao Jing is captivated by you."

Ran Mouri also laughed and joked.

Because of the large age difference, and the innocent nature of children's words, none of Haibara Shizuka's friends took her words seriously.

Haibara Shizuka, who was being teased by the two older sisters, shyly hid her face in Chu Zhong's arms.

Chu Zhong smiled and gently patted Haibara Shizuka's back, vaguely realizing that this was actually a smokescreen she had deliberately released.

Many things are just that subtle; if you try to hide them, you'll be suspected, but if you speak openly and honestly, you'll be taken as a joke.

After all, no one would have guessed that the Shizuka Haibara in his arms was actually a shrunken version of Akemi Miyano, a sophisticated urban woman in her twenties.

Soon after, the restaurant staff began serving the dishes, and the five of them started eating dinner.

However, after Chu Zhong took a few bites, he noticed that Haibara Shizuka in his arms hadn't touched her chopsticks.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhong personally picked up some food and fed it to Haibara Shizuka.

Haibara Shizuka immediately flashed a sweet smile and began to eat heartily.

But after a short while, Eri, who was sitting next to him and noticed the situation, took over the task of feeding Chu Zhong, allowing him to focus on eating first.

"Xiao Lan, what are you daydreaming about?"

Sitting in the garden across the way, she noticed her best friend staring intently at the three people opposite her.

After calling out several times without success, Ran finally snapped out of her daze when he was nudged with his elbow.

Seeing this, Sonoko teased, "Ran, you wouldn't be jealous of Shizuka and want to sit in Chu Zhong's lap too, would you?"

Ran Mouri shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Sonoko noticed that her best friend's expression was slightly serious, so she stopped joking around.

After dinner, Sonoko offered to stay at Eri Kisaki's apartment that night and sleep in the same room as Ran.

Eri Kisaki had no reason to refuse and could only agree.

Besides, if something goes wrong tonight, it's better to have Sonoko along than to let Ran face it alone, so that she has someone to share the burden.

Once back at her apartment, Eri Kisaki went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

Sonoko then pulled her best friend into the room to talk.

As for Chu Zhong, he was tidying up his room, arranging the clothes and daily necessities he had just bought for Haibara Shizuka.

Due to a shortage of rooms, after discussion, it was decided that Chu Zhong's room would be vacated and given to Haibara Shizuka.

As for where Chu Zhong will live from now on, he will naturally share a room with Xiao Lan.

"Lord Chu, you and Sister Fei..."

After locking the door from the inside, Haibara Shizuka walked to Chu Zhong's side and spoke softly.

Realizing that Haibara Shizuka had already noticed, Chu Zhong didn't hide anything and nodded, "That's right, but Eri's situation is a bit complicated... You can simply think of it as a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Worried that Haibara Shizuka might overthink things, Chu Zhong gently held her small hand, "And I promise, this won't affect my feelings for you... um..."

After a long while, Haibara Shizuka, who had taken the initiative to get closer, pulled away, blushing, and said, "Don't worry, Chu-kun, I didn't suspect you, I was just curious."

"Moreover, having such an excellent lawyer as Sister Fei by your side is a good thing for both you and your sister."

"They're overjoyed, why would they blame you?"

Hearing Haibara Shizuka say this, Chu Zhong felt relieved.

Indeed, the more capable he is, and the more outstanding the people around him, the higher the probability that Haibara Shizuka will be able to rescue her sister.

"but……"

Haibara Shizuka said earnestly, "Ran and Sonoko are both kind-hearted girls, Chu Jun, you should be careful."

Chu Zhong nodded.

He would naturally be extra careful about Eri Kisaki's affairs.

After all, Xiao Lan is already at the half-step demon immortal realm, and if she causes trouble, it will be difficult to clean up the mess.

at the same time.

In the next room.

"Xiaolan, what was wrong with you during dinner just now?"

Sonoko was pressing for details about what she had seen earlier.

Facing her best friend, confidante, and closest partner, Ran Mouri paused for a moment before speaking, "Do you remember the dream I told you about last time?"

"Which one?" Sonoko paused for a moment, then quickly realized, "Could it be the one that Chu Jun and Sister Fei were both dreaming about...?"

Ran Mouri nodded, her expression complicated. "For a moment, I remembered what happened in my dream again."

"Chu Jun and Mom are like a married couple, and they even... they even see Xiao Jing as... me when I was little..."

Hearing this, Sonoko couldn't help but nod. "When Sister Fei was feeding Xiaojing just now, the feeling of a family of three was indeed very strong."

"But Xiaolan, that's just your dream. How could Sister Fei and Chu Jun possibly be together..."

Ran Mouri shook her head, interrupting, "That's not what I meant. I was just wondering when Daddy and Mommy will get back together..."

Sonoko quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why think so much? You should worry about how you'll sleep tonight."

Speaking of this, Ran Mouri blushed a little, "What else can we do? Of course, we have to find another way, and after washing it clean, we'll do whatever we need to do..."

Sonoko grinned mischievously, "Ran, really, couldn't you have discussed it with Chu Jun instead of choosing the most difficult method?"

"Or is it that, Xiaolan, you're actually looking forward to it..."

This made Ran Mouri blush. "Sonoko, I think you're the worst one! If you hadn't insisted on coming over to sleep, maybe..."

The two best friends were playing and joking around on the bed.

And the next room,

Chu Zhong obtained additional information from Haibara Shizuka.

So he quietly walked to the bathroom door...

Chapter 194 Xiaolan blocks the door, giving a heads-up

"Well……"

Chu Zhong arrived at the bathroom door and was about to knock when he vaguely heard a faint murmur coming from inside.

The glass door, consisting of two floor-to-ceiling frosted glass panels, offers very limited sound insulation.

dong dong dong-

Chu Zhong gently knocked on the glass door, and the faint noise from before immediately fell silent.

"Who?"

A few seconds later, Eri Kisaki's slightly hoarse voice rang out.

Chu Zhong didn't answer, but simply tapped the glass lightly with his fingers.

Soon, the bathroom door opened slightly.

Through the gap, Chu Zhong could see that Fei Yingli was not covered in foam, indicating that she had already finished washing and was probably taking a bath.

Why are you knocking at a time like this?

Eri, whose cheeks were slightly flushed from taking a bath, glared at him irritably.

If it were Ran, Sonoko, or Shizuka Haibara knocking on the door, there would be no way there wouldn't be a response.

Of course, only Chu Zhong would use this method.

"No entry!"

Chu Zhong was about to pull the glass door open further when Fei Yingli grabbed it, saying, "Go back to your room quickly, or you'll be in big trouble if Xiao Lan sees you!"

Seeing the increased tension on Eri's face, Chu Zhong immediately came up with a good idea.

"It's alright, Ran and Sonoko are chatting in their room."

Chu Zhong urged, "Yingli, you need help right now, don't you?... Don't worry, it won't take more than a few minutes..."

As they spoke, Chu Zhong gradually increased the force with which he pushed the door, while Fei Yingli was still hesitating and thinking, her strength in pulling the door was clearly insufficient.

Soon, Chu Zhong went into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Let's make this clear first: you can help, but you're not allowed to force your way in!"

Eri Kisaki left the door slightly ajar, giving a heads-up.

"Don't worry, Eri, I won't do anything rash without permission." Chu Zhong smiled as he helped Eri back into the bathtub, brought over a small stool, sat down by the tub, and skillfully began to massage her.

In fact, if Chu Zhong wanted to, he could simply use a freezing spell to make Fei Yingli completely unaware of what was happening.

In Chu Zhong's eyes, the half-open door posed absolutely no possibility of being blocked.

However, Chu Zhong could feel Eri's care and affection for him, and naturally did not want to disappoint her.

They had already agreed while shopping that once the test results came out, Eri Kisaki could no longer break her promise.

It'll only be a few days at most; Chu Zhong isn't so impatient as to lack even that much patience.

Furthermore, today was an exceptionally wonderful day, and Chu Zhong was basically satisfied.

"Lord Chu~"
