While soaking in a hot bath and enjoying a massage, Eri Kisaki soon began to murmur comfortably.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with affection, her gaze sparkling, and her breathing was noticeably uneven.

Chu Zhong's gaze was also intense as he intently admired Eri's beauty at that moment.

Time passed by, and the steam rising from the bathtub seemed to raise the temperature in the bathroom considerably.

This made the slight blush on Eri's cheeks even more noticeable.

Chu Zhong's neck was quickly encircled by arms as white as lotus roots, and his head was pulled forward to savor those passionate red lips.

A few minutes later, under the influence of the hot water and massage, Eri Kisaki relaxed completely and leaned limply against the bathtub.

"Alright... Lord Chu... go out now..."

Eri, slightly out of breath, whispered a reminder.

Chu Zhong did not leave. Instead, he pulled Fei Yingli out of the bathtub and placed her on the floor covered with a towel.

"Lord Chu, stop fooling around..."

Eri Kisaki was somewhat flustered, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Chu Zhong's lips...

A few minutes later.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko appeared outside the bathroom door.

"Xiao Lan, could it be that Sister Fei is...?"

Sonoko couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The two best friends had just finished chatting privately in the room, but Chu Zhong hadn't moved his things into the room yet.

When the two best friends arrived at Haibara Shizuka's room to help, they found that Chu Zhong was nowhere to be found. When they asked Haibara Shizuka, she shook her head and said she didn't know.

Just as the two best friends were wondering where Chu Zhong had gone, they vaguely heard a noise coming from the direction of the bathroom as they left the room.

As they got closer, they confirmed that it was Eri Kisaki's voice, as if she was suppressing something.

"This, how is this possible..."

Ran Mouri stood there, her face full of disbelief.

"There's no need to make such a fuss."

Sonoko said, "If you ask me, this is actually a very good sign..."

As she spoke, Sonoko pressed herself against the glass door, attempting to observe the situation inside the bathroom through the hazy frosted glass and steam.

In the dim light, I seemed to see a familiar silhouette, composed of two people...

A heavy breathing sound suddenly rang out.

Sonoko turned her head and saw that Ran Mouri was also almost pressed against the door, just like her.

They probably also saw that vague figure...

"Well, there's nothing interesting to see here, let's... watch TV instead."

As Yuanzi spoke, she pulled her best friend toward the living room.

But it couldn't be pulled at all.

Then, even more shocking words came from Ran Mouri's mouth: "King Chu actually..."

Yuanzi quickly said, "Don't think like that, how could Lord Chu be inside?"

dong dong dong-

Ran Mouri didn't say anything, but started knocking on the door.

"I-What's the matter?"

Eri's slightly flustered voice came from the bathroom.

"Mom, open the door."

Ran Mouri tried to turn the doorknob, but the locked door wouldn't open.

"Xiao Lan, wait a little longer."

Eri's somewhat anxious voice came through, "Mom will be done taking a bath soon... um..."

As Eri Kisaki's voice grew clearer and more restrained, Sonoko and Ran Mouri's expressions changed.

The two best friends, who had already pledged their lives to each other, were all too familiar with this commotion.

Click——click——

Ran Mouri immediately increased the force of her twisting of the doorknob, making a clicking sound, as if she was trying to force it open.

Even Haibara Shizuka, who was standing at the door of a room not far away and secretly observing, heard the commotion that Eri Kisaki had made.

Haibara Shizuka couldn't help but frown, "I already reminded Chu-kun to be careful, how come..."

"Ran! Calm down!" Sonoko grabbed her best friend's arm again.

But the Maori man remained silent, his grip tightening...

Bang-!

The door handle was broken by twisting it.

"Xiao Lan! Don't come in— Waaah!"

Eri Kisaki shouted in a panic.

Ran Mouri, who had been stopped, paused briefly, but when she heard Eri Kisaki following closely behind with barely suppressed noise, her pupils contracted and she pushed the door open.

"?!"

Upon seeing the scene in the bathroom, the two best friends were instantly stunned.

Eri was sitting on the floor, trembling with anger because Ran had forced her way in.

Chu Zhong, who was expected to be in the bathroom, was nowhere to be seen.

Bathrooms are inherently small and can be seen at a glance, so there's no such thing as 'hiding' them.

"Get out of here right now!"

Eri Kisaki's voice trembled with embarrassment and anger once again.

Startled, Ran and Sonoko snapped out of their daze and quickly closed the door...

Three minutes later.

In the living room, Ran Mouri sat obediently on the sofa, her head lowered, staring at the floor.

On the opposite sofa sat Eri Kisaki, dressed in a bathrobe or pajamas.

Beside them, Sonoko was pleading, "Sister Fei, please don't be angry. Ran was just too worried, so she acted impulsively..."

Eri Kisaki scoffed, "Worried? What's there to worry about? You don't actually think..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

But Ran and Sonoko both knew that the guess that had just crossed their minds had already been guessed by Eri.

For a moment, the two best friends lowered their heads in shame because of the misunderstanding.

Click——

Just then, the door opened.

Chu Zhong returned from outside carrying a dozen bottles of mineral water.

"what happened?"

Seeing the situation in the living room, Chu Zhong deliberately asked a question.

Then Eri glared at him fiercely, "It's nothing, we were just chatting. Chu Jun, go take a shower."

Chu Zhong said "Oh," put the bottled water in the kitchen, and walked towards the bathroom while savoring the faint floral scent lingering in his mouth.

As for why Eri Kisaki glared at him...

In fact, Chu Zhong was still causing trouble until the moment Xiao Lan pushed open the door.

The tense situation of being about to be exposed terrified Eri Kisaki.

However, fortune favors the bold. Just as Xiaolan opened the door, Chu Zhong also saw the overflowing love that Fei Yingli was showing.

Immediately satisfied, he froze Eri, Ran, Sonoko, and even Shizuka Haibara outside.

Then he left without anyone noticing, so that Ran and Sonoko would think it was a misunderstanding.

As for why we do this?

Chu Zhong had also told Fei Yingli in advance, this was to give her a heads-up.

With preventative measures in place, the likelihood of being suspected will be greatly reduced if similar situations occur in the future.

in the living room.

Eri Kisaki didn't blame Ran and Sonoko much, she just said two things:

"If you ask me, Xiaolan, you and Chu Jun should move out."

"To avoid unnecessary suspicion."

After saying that, Eri got up and went back to her room.

"Mother……"

Ran Mouri wanted to say something more, but Sonoko stopped her.

"Sister Fei is in a bad mood right now, let's ask Chu Jun for a solution later."

Ran Mouri, having no idea what to do, could only nod.

Before her parents reconcile, Ran Mouri is worried about leaving Eri Kisaki to live alone, and her newly adopted cute little sister also needs someone to take care of her.

"But... how should I tell Chu Jun later?"

Ran Mouri was in a dilemma, as she couldn't very well say that the current situation was caused by their suspicion of Chu Zhong.

The scene I saw when I broke down the door is hard to explain.

“This…” Yuanzi thought for a moment, “Let’s just say that we accidentally did something wrong and made Sister Fei angry.”

"What did you do wrong?" Half an hour later, Chu Zhong asked symbolically after taking a shower.

"Don't ask that." Ran Mouri clung to Chu Zhong's arm, pouting, "Mommy's angry now, Chu-kun, you're so smart, help me think of a solution!"

Chu Zhong sighed helplessly, "How can we treat the problem effectively without figuring out the cause?"

"Chu-kun~~~ please help me~" Ran Mouri continued to whine.

There's no way she could possibly talk about Eri Kisaki's behavior of finding pleasure on her own.

At this moment, Sonoko spoke up: "Xiaolan won the competition this afternoon. Chu Jun, you promised to help her."

"Now, your task, Chu Jun, is to appease Sister Fei... and you mustn't inquire about the specifics!"

Chu Zhong could only nod helplessly.

That's exactly what I was waiting for.

Soon, under the expectant gazes of her two best friends, Chu Zhong said that he had come up with a plan and arrived at Fei Yingli's door.

dong dong dong-

After knocking, Eri's voice came from inside very quickly, "I'm sleepy. We can talk about it tomorrow."

“Sister Fei, it’s me.” Chu Zhong continued knocking on the door. “I brought you a gift.”

"Let's save the gift for tomorrow." Eri Kisaki still wouldn't open the door.

Chu Zhong insisted, "The gift will spoil if we leave it until tomorrow."
