My mind was full of questions. I didn't understand what I had done to offend Eri. I felt that she was in a bad mood today... and she even sent Ran to school.

Chu Zhong originally planned to take this opportunity to unlock Xiao Lan's hidden dungeon.

Now that the plan has fallen through, I can only settle for second best and do some Eri's dungeons, and then I'll do Ran's tonight.

I wonder what stage Eri will be in and what the scene will be like when we meet again in the game.

University years? Early career? Queen stage?

Chu Zhong couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

I'm also curious whether catching a cold in real life will have any impact on entering the dungeon.

Click——

Just as I was pondering this, the door was opened.

Chapter 77 Eri, I've come to keep my promise.

"Stop pretending to be asleep. You've been sleeping since last night, how could you possibly be asleep?"

Eri Kisaki saw through the pretense with a single sentence: "Want to go watch TV in the living room? It won't be too boring that way."

Now that he'd been found out, Chu Zhong stopped pretending. He pulled back the blanket slightly, revealing his eyes. "Wouldn't this disturb Attorney Fei's work? Maybe I should just read..."

As they were talking, Eri Kisaki pulled back the covers, seemingly having already made the decision for him.

What a powerful queen...

Chu Zhong couldn't help but mutter to himself.

When Xiaolan was around, she was quite kind to him...

Was all that closeness before just a facade in front of Xiaolan...?

"Attorney Fei, what's going on?!"

Just as Chu Zhong was about to get up, he was pressed down and his only robe was taken off, leaving him with no privacy whatsoever.

Even Chu Zhong was taken aback by Fei Yingli's actions.

Then Eri glanced at him and said, "What's all the fuss about me applying medicine?"

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the medicinal wine from the bedside table, unscrewed the cap, poured it into his hand, and applied it to the bruises on Chu Zhong's body.

Eri Kisaki's expression was serious, even a little solemn.

Those hands, however, were incredibly gentle, rubbing and wiping, repeatedly applying the medicine.

The bruise was left by Chu Zhong in the Snowstorm instance to protect Eri, who was in the instance.

However, the bruise has faded to the point of being almost invisible, so there is no need to apply any more medicine.

"..."

Forced to accept the application of medicine, Chu Zhong felt that Fei Yingli's behavior was too outrageous and he couldn't understand it anymore.

Could it be that Eri Kisaki has been separated from him for too long and is feeling unbearably lonely...?

According to Ran, Eri took great care of him last night and even washed his hair.

Now, as she applies the medicine, Eri Kisaki looks very serious, focusing solely on the bruises.

The obvious concern conveyed here cannot be explained by simply calling it 'seduction'.

Could it be... that Eri Kisaki really only sees him as a son, just like Ran said?

Chu Zhong felt inexplicably strange upon reaching this conclusion.

But upon closer examination, no more reasonable explanation can be found.

He appears to be the same age as Ran, and Eri Kisaki is Ran's mother.

In terms of age, Eri Kisaki is indeed a generation older than him.

The problem is, this 'mother-in-law' is just too beautiful, too easy to arouse impure thoughts...

Lost in thought, Eri had already applied the medicated wine to his skin, tied on his bathrobe, helped him to his feet, and led him to the living room.

Chu Zhong leaned against Fei Yingli, one of his arms was held by Fei Yingli and draped over her other shoulder.

At this moment, Chu Zhong and Fei Yingli's profiles were less than ten centimeters apart, and her unique, faint fragrance lingered around their noses.

Those red lips were in full bloom, waiting to be plucked.

No, no, no... This is reality, not a dungeon...

Chu Zhong quickly lowered his gaze.

In the blink of an eye, they were captivated by the enormous treasure chest. The human greed for wealth made them unable to resist the urge to explore it further.

No, no, no... This will cause a huge problem...

Fortunately, the guest rooms and the living room are very close together.

Chu Zhong sat on the living room sofa, the fragrance and the huge treasure chest gone from his side, and the internal struggle finally eased.

"Attorney Fei, you..."

Chu Zhong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Hmm?" Eri Kisaki stood beside the sofa, her hands folded in front of her, her gaze fixed on him from above.

"Ahem... Attorney Fei, please go ahead with your work. I'll just watch TV."

Chu Zhong really wanted to ask Fei Yingli if she was just as unguarded when interacting with the opposite sex in her daily life.

But being stared at by her sharp gaze, I felt that if I spoke, she would notice the wicked thoughts I had just harbored... To avoid embarrassment, it was best not to say anything.

Furthermore, given his relationship with Eri Kisaki, it doesn't seem to have reached the point where he has to meddle in her affairs... even though Eri Kisaki seems to treat him like a son on her own.

"Just tell me if you need anything, don't be shy."

Eri Kisaki spoke, and after Chu Zhong shook his head, she left the sofa, walked a few meters away to the dining table where many paper documents were already piled up, and sat down.

Take out your small notebook and write it down again:

'Chu Zhong', 'Age', 'Memory', 'Ring', 'Time Travel'

He then drew a circle around the three words 'Chu Zhong', 'age', and 'time travel', as if he had already confirmed something.

Next to the words 'memory' and 'ring', there is an extra question mark.

He then wrote 'personality', again adding a question mark.

After a while, Eri's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. She glanced at the back of the head of the person sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Xiao Lan isn't here again, and this guy is still pretending to be serious, he doesn't even recognize the ring... Could he really have amnesia?"

"But yesterday in the bathroom, he clearly..."

"Do you think I broke my promise and that I've already... with Kogoro, so you're pretending to be stupid?"

Eri Kisaki stroked her wedding ring on her ring finger, "But what about Ran's background..."

"Could it be that they think you're too old..."

Eri Kisaki's expression shifted as she fell into complex thoughts.

finally,

Like a sulking girl, Eri muttered to the back of his head, "Hmph, you scoundrel, if you dare to complain about this or that, you'll regret it later!"

On the sofa,

Chu Zhong felt a chill run down his spine; the Queen's gaze, which he could not ignore, felt like a thorn in his back.

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what Eri Kisaki was dissatisfied with about him, or why her attitude was so strange.

There was concern, there was ambiguity, yet there was also questioning in her eyes... and she treated him like a son, acting without any scruples.

'Could it be that my fever last night damaged my brain, causing cognitive errors?'

Chu Zhong, who couldn't understand it at all, began to suspect that there was something wrong with him.

To avoid Eri's gaze, to make the time of her illness pass faster, and even more so to 'reunite' with her alternate version of Eri...

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Boss-level Eri Kisaki dungeon activated]

[Instance scenario under construction...]

As the instance is constructed, the sofa beneath you transforms into a chair, and the coffee table in front of you rises up to become a long table.

The entire living room, along with the entire floor, was transformed into a courtroom.

Judges, juries, plaintiffs, defendants, spectators... everything is there.

Chu Zhong glanced around and noticed that behind the plaintiff's table opposite him sat Eri Kisaki and an unremarkable middle-aged man.

So, the content of this episode is about fighting against Eri in court?

Boom-!

The gavel struck, and the presiding judge solemnly announced:

"Both lawyers, please prepare your case documents. The court will officially begin in thirty minutes!"

Chu Zhong also received a system notification:

[Striving for the defendant's acquittal]

"Attorney Chu, we're counting on you this time!"

Beside him, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, a classic image of a cunning businessman, pointed to the paper documents on the table and said, "These so-called evidences are all fabricated, Attorney Chu. When the trial officially begins later, you must clear my name."

After saying that, he patted Chu Zhong on the shoulder, "Protect me and you'll get your share of the benefits."

The situation was clear: he was to be the defense attorney for this guy who didn't look like a good person at all.

And the lawyer opposite her is none other than the legal queen, Eri Kisaki!

Now, Chu Zhongde has thirty minutes to review the materials and find a way to defend his innocence before the formal trial begins.

This level of difficulty is truly off the charts.

The good news is that Chu Zhong felt no backache or leg pain, and his cold seemed to disappear after entering the dungeon.

We can finally go all out and have some fun without restraint!

"Don't worry, wrap it on me!"

Chu Zhong nodded to the client.

He then walked out of the courtroom through a side door without looking back.

Because after the judge announced that there were still 30 minutes left before the trial began, Eri Kisaki, the assistant, also left through a side door, followed by a woman dressed as an assistant, carrying a large evidence bag.

Before long, Chu Zhong, who was following behind, discovered that Eri Kisaki actually had a private office in this courtroom!

Realizing this was a dungeon, Chu Zhong disregarded the plausibility of the office and walked directly to the office door, intending to go inside.

But his female assistant blocked his way:

"Attorney Chu, your office is on the other side of the courthouse. You're going the wrong way!"

Oh, so he has his own office too... Never mind then.

“I came here specifically to see Attorney Fei to discuss matters related to the defendant.”

Chu Zhong made up a random excuse and tricked his female assistant into coming to his office to report.

Only after receiving permission was he able to see Eri, the copy of the character, again in the office.

Meanwhile, the alternate version of Eri Kisaki has matured just like the real one, with her long hair tied up and dressed in a professional outfit, completely shedding the girlish naiveté she had when they first met.

"I would like to speak with Attorney Fei alone."

Chu Zhong glanced at the female assistant who was standing to the side like a third wheel.

The female assistant ignored her and instead looked at Eri Kisaki.
