Even his delirious ramblings when he was not fully conscious...
"It's definitely him, there's no mistake!"
Eri Kisaki murmured in a whisper, barely audible to herself, "When she was taken to the hospital last night, she had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius..."
"Could it be that he was too ill... and lost his memory of those few days?"
"Or do you think those experiences were illusions? That's his true personality?"
After thinking for a while, Eri Kisaki gradually relaxed, gently stroking the sleeping boy's cheek with her right hand: "No matter what, this time, don't even think about running away again..."
I do not know how long it has been,
Chu Zhong was awakened by a burst of chattering.
Upon opening her eyes, she was immediately struck by the enormous treasure chest right in front of her and realized that she was lying on Eri's lap.
My gaze shifted slightly to the right, and there was a somewhat familiar, cute face.
"Big brother! You're finally awake!"
It was Ayumi, the little girl I'd met once before at the amusement park.
As always, Mitsuhiko and Genta were by Ayumi's side.
"I told you to keep your voices down..."
Eri Kisaki offered a somewhat helpless explanation.
Chu Zhong also got up from his lap pillow, sat up straight, and quickly figured out what was going on: the Teitan trio had gone to the park to play hide-and-seek after school, and Ayumi ran into him while she was looking for a place to hide.
"Big brother, what's your name?"
Little Ayumi sat right next to Chu Zhong on the bench, her short legs dangling in mid-air, looking on with anticipation.
It was just a name, and since they had met again, Chu Zhong gave his answer.
"So Brother Chu is here for tourism!"
Then, Ayumi immediately asked, "Is this older sister Brother Chu's girlfriend?"
"The older sister's figure seems to be even better than the previous sisters~"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhong immediately felt himself being locked onto by a sharp gaze.
Then came Eri's question: "King Chu, what did you mean by 'older sister' before?"
"It's like this..." Chu Zhong had no choice but to recount his encounter with several children at the amusement park and the small misunderstanding he had with Xiao Lan during their first meeting.
As they were talking, Chu Zhong noticed that Fei Yingli was rubbing the spot where he had just used as a knee pillow.
She immediately realized that she had slept for too long, which had caused Eri's thighs to go numb.
So after explaining, Chu Zhong added, "I told you that Sister Fei is still very young. Even elementary school students think she's an 'older sister.' Now you should believe me, right?"
The last sentence worked as expected, and Eri Kisaki, who was praised for her youth, immediately smiled.
"Brother Chu~! You haven't answered my question yet~"
At this moment, Bu Mei grabbed Chu Zhong's arm and shook it coquettishly.
Then look at Mitsuhiko and Genta, the two boys, staring blankly at Eri, seemingly captivated by her charm.
If Chu Zhong hadn't known that the two little devils were only in first grade and their understanding of beauty was still superficial, he probably would have suspected they were up to no good.
After all, this is the cherry blossom country where people mature at an unusually young age.
"This is my newly recognized older sister."
Chu Zhong gave a brief introduction, then said, "We're leaving now. The three of you should remember to go home before dark, or you might get kidnapped by bad guys."
After saying that, Chu Zhong stood up, intending to pull Fei Yingli away.
They were also worried that Eri Kisaki would be recognized.
It's already after school. It's fine if the three first-graders are recognized, but if they are recognized by junior high or high school students, considering Eri's occasional unconscious overstepping of boundaries, it could lead to some kind of scandal, which would not be good for Eri.
Eri Kisaki remained seated on the bench, scolding, "My legs are still numb, I can't walk... unless you carry me on your back."
As expected, Eri Kisaki made the same kind of suggestion again, which was likely to cause misunderstandings.
Chu Zhong could not do it, nor dared he.
My cold is getting better, but I haven't regained my strength yet, so I can't carry anything.
I can only sit on the bench for a little longer.
"Where does Brother Chu live? Does Brother Chu have a girlfriend? What kind of girl does Brother Chu like?"
The little girl, Ayumi, also kept asking questions, seemingly showing a strong interest in Chu Zhong.
Unable to resist Ayumi's persistent pestering.
Chu Zhong could only answer quickly and concisely: "I live in Mihua, I have a girlfriend, and I like girls over 18."
Although it's true that people in Japan can get married at 16, Chu Zhong always felt that was too cruel.
"Brother Chu has gone too far!"
Upon receiving the answer, Ayumi's face fell, her lips trembled, and she ran away with tears in her eyes.
"Ayumi!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta came to their senses and chased after him into the distance.
"Chu Jun is so naughty, making the little girl cry." Fei Yingli laughed, "Why don't you just comfort her? Why be so direct?"
Chu Zhong sighed helplessly, "Kids these days know quite a lot."
"If Ayumi runs into my arms and wants a kiss, and the police see it, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sister Fei to help me with a not guilty plea."
Because of certain special orientations and preferences in Japan, the general public pays extra attention to how little girls or even young boys interact with adults.
Given the little girl's coquettish behavior just now, and considering she's one of the most notorious troublemakers at Teidan, Chu Zhong had no doubt that Ayumi would become increasingly demanding.
"How can it be so exaggerated..."
As Eri Kisaki spoke, seemingly relieved of the numbness in her legs, she stood up and asked, "You really won't carry me?"
Chu Zhong shook his head repeatedly, politely declining, "After I recover, if there's an opportunity later..."
The two then left Mihana Park and drove back to their apartment.
"Mom! Chu Jun! Where have you gone? You didn't even bring your phone!"
As soon as she entered the door, Ran Mouri rushed to the entrance hall and began to complain.
Immediately afterwards, Sonoko came from the living room to the entryway: "It seems Chu-kun's illness isn't too serious after all~"
But soon, Ran Mouri and Sonoko's eyes fell on Chu Zhong and Eri Kisaki's hands clasped together.
"Ahem... Sister Fei treated me like a child and took me to the park to bask in the sun."
Chu Zhong quickly offered an explanation to avoid any misunderstanding between her two best friends.
Eri Kisaki then changed her shoes and let go of his hand. "She must have forgotten her phone after changing her clothes."
Chu Zhong's reason for not bringing his phone is even simpler: his phone is broken, probably because it got wet in the snow dungeon or was dropped and broken.
The two best friends didn't ask any more questions. After returning to the living room, Eri Kisaki sat down at the dining table and said she had some work documents to deal with.
Chu Zhong was pulled to sit on the sofa by Sonoko and accepted the fruit platter she fed him.
"Going to a party in the mountains tomorrow?"
Afterwards, Chu Zhong was somewhat tempted by the travel suggestions Yuanzi made.
It's ostensibly a party, but it's actually giving people an opportunity.
"Xiao Lan said you were so sick you couldn't walk on your own, but it doesn't seem that serious now~"
The gardener moved closer. "So, Mr. Chu, how about we go to my villa in the mountains for a couple of days tomorrow?"
She added in a low voice, "It's just the three of us~"
Chu Zhong was now even more certain of his guess, but unfortunately...
"Well, the problem is I'm still recovering from my cold, and it wouldn't be good if I infected you."
Chu Zhong politely declined, saying, "Let's wait until the next holiday."
Sonoko, however, was not giving up and continued to persuade her: "It's okay, we can take some cold medicine or something to prevent it, then we won't be afraid."
"Besides, patients should breathe more fresh air, it helps with recovery, Xiaolan, don't you agree?"
"Spending the night in a villa would definitely be a lot of fun! We could even play games together all night! Xiaolan, you're looking forward to it too, aren't you?"
Xiaolan was lost in thought, her cheeks slightly flushed. When she heard her best friend's question, she nodded gently.
Seeing how much his two best friends were looking forward to it, Chu Zhong didn't want to spoil their fun, so he agreed.
However, now both Chu Zhong and Mo Li Ran must get Eri's permission before going out...
Chapter 81 Plenty of nectar is needed to attract honey collectors.
"If you're going out to play, remember to bring cold medicine."
Eri Kisaki said, "Also, don't let Chu Jun eat anything indiscriminately, lest his cold get worse."
Ran Mouri nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'll be careful."
This surprised Chu Zhong somewhat.
After what happened this morning when Ran was caught, I thought Eri wouldn't agree until he recovered...
It was only later that I learned that Eri Kisaki had several lawsuits scheduled for trial in the next two days and was simply too busy to attend.
The task of taking care of him was originally intended to be taken over by Xiaolan.
Chu Zhong understood now.
Since Eri Kisaki isn't around to keep an eye on them, even if they guessed that the other party was planning some underhanded tactics, they couldn't stop them.
It would be better to just agree directly and communicate frankly; that would be more effective.
Sonoko said with a grin, "Then we won't disturb Sister Fei's work."
It was 4:30 pm, and there was still some time before dinner. Sonoko quickly pulled Xiaolan and Chuzhong to go to Xiaolan's room to chat.
However, Chu Zhong made an excuse to go to the restroom.
So for the time being, only the two best friends were in the room.
Yuanzi immediately asked gossipily, "Isn't Chu Jun really the son of Sister Fei's old friend?"
"Otherwise, given that Sister Fei keeps men at arm's length after only meeting twice, how could they be so intimate? They've even held hands!"
Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "It should be..."
She did not tell Sonoko that Eri had helped her take a bath the night before.
But Sonoko's analysis was indeed very convincing, and Ran Mouri had to believe that her mother may have had close relationships with other men before marrying her father.
"My mother and Chu Jun's deceased father were probably just good friends. She took good care of Chu Jun because she felt that Chu Jun's background was tragic."
Ran Mouri insisted that even if there was a relationship, it could only be friendship!
Sonoko countered, "But if we're just friends, why not just say so directly instead of pretending not to know Chu Jun's father?"
Ran Mouri was silent for a few seconds, "Maybe... I don't want to bring up Chu Jun's painful memories..."
"Let's leave this topic here!"
Ran Mouri manually ended the conversation.
Sonoko didn't dare to say anything more, so she started talking about going to the villa tomorrow:
"Then it will be just us and Chu Jun in the villa, and it's deep in the mountains, there'll be no one else around... It'll be a perfect place to do naughty things~ Xiao Lan, don't you think?"
Ran Mouri blushed slightly: "Sonoko, don't overthink it. Chu-kun's cold isn't better yet... Besides, if you really want to do something bad, why drag him into it?"
Sonoko immediately grinned mischievously: "Then, Ran, you won't be going tomorrow, are you willing?"
Ran Mouri immediately panicked: "We-we've already agreed on this, how can you go back on your word at the last minute..."
