People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Or rather, I've thought of it, but my thoughts aren't as rich as what he's actually done. Watching his updates feels like I'm participating in it myself. I increasingly yearn for that kind of life, and I always hope to try it sometime." 677

"As I got to know him better, we started by chatting about cooking, but we also talked a lot about life. I also noticed something: when I have worries or complaints, I usually just keep them to myself."

Yukiko Fujimine tilted her head and said, "You confided in him?"

"Yes, he is a considerate and gentle person, as well as a romantic and free-spirited person. Sometimes you even feel that if you chat with him, you can just keep chatting forever. Sometimes when you are very annoyed, have a headache, are bored, or are lonely, he will not say any motivational or comforting words like others do."

"He has many ways to make you happy. Sometimes, it really feels like he is gentleness itself, which makes people feel very relaxed. When I realized this, I also noticed that he started to call me from time to time while I was cooking, and we would chat for a long time. After that, I would feel much better."

"If I had to name a special event, it would be something that happened before summer vacation..."

"Ok?"

Chapter 775 Eri's Heart is Racing, Eri is a Little Timid (Please Subscribe~)

Eri Kisaki clearly remembers that it was before summer vacation. She had planned to go shopping after work, but she had worked overtime and it was already very late. There were hardly any people around the office, so she asked Midori Kuriyama to leave work earlier.

On this very day, Eri Kisaki had just bought a pack of A4 paper and some fruit from the supermarket and was planning to find a nearby restaurant to eat at.

Suddenly, she felt like someone was following her. She turned around and saw someone wearing a mask with one hand in their pocket, seemingly looking somewhere else. But Eri Kisaki felt that something was off.

She knew her car was parked not far away, and she would be safe once she got in. Perhaps she was just being paranoid; although being a lawyer wasn't a high-risk profession, it was one that could offend people and she might face retaliation.

Eri quickened her pace, hoping it was just her imagination, but the footsteps following closely behind made her feel that things weren't so simple, and that something might really have happened.

If she stopped or turned around at this moment, it would be really dangerous if someone really wanted to take revenge on her. It seemed that she saw that Eri was about to reach the parking lot, and her footsteps quickened considerably.

They were almost next to Eri when the footsteps stopped. Without thinking much, Eri quickly walked to the car, opened the door, and jumped in. She only breathed a sigh of relief after locking the car.

Eri Kisaki seemed completely terrified, slumping over the steering wheel. If there had been real danger, she might have... the consequences were unimaginable. After regaining her senses, Eri Kisaki looked up, but even then, she was stunned for a moment.

She saw a familiar figure, it was Bai Yu. At this moment, Bai Yu was like meeting a good friend, with one hand on the man's shoulder and a smile on his face, as if he was saying something.

Then they saw the man try to run away, but he was firmly held on. Bai Yu smiled, shook his head, took out his phone, and made a call. When Fei Yingli came to her senses and was about to get out of the car, she saw Bai Yu wave in her direction, signaling her to hurry up and leave.

The man seized the opportunity to run, but running away in front of Butler Bai was unrealistic. With a quick movement of his foot, the man fell to the ground. Bai Yu then wrapped his leg around the man's back, locking his arm and pinning it to the crotch area, rendering him unable to move. Bai Yu finally realized what the hand that had been in his pocket earlier was.

A gleaming dagger. Eri was not far away, and the car was lit, so she could see it clearly. Although Bai Yu told her to hurry up, she quickly tidied her hair in the rearview mirror and then hurriedly opened the car door and got out.

"You bastard! Who are you?!"

Eri Kisaki heard the voice as soon as she walked over, and Bai Yu said helplessly, "Attorney Kisaki, you're being surprisingly willful. You should go home and rest properly after being frightened."

Looking at Bai Yu with his gentle smile, Eri felt a sense of relief. She had felt a lingering fear upon seeing the dagger, but she still breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Manager Bai Yu. But what are you doing here? Isn't it opening time?"

"That's right. So I came to deliver some takeout. On my way back, I also picked up some thread for sewing up a cloth toy for Xiaotao, as well as stationery for Xiaoqiong and Haimeng. They said their pen refills were out of ink. The pens were fine, but they were out of erasers. They were going to go out and buy some, but since I was going to deliver takeout, I brought them back for them."

"I see... Thank goodness... Manager Shiraha, did you see me just now?"

"No, I wasn't planning on walking down this street, but I suddenly remembered that your firm is located here, Attorney Fei. I was wondering if you were working overtime, so I came to say hello and also to see exactly where it is, so that I don't have to go through the hassle of finding it when I order takeout in the future."

"Then I just came over and saw you, Attorney Fei, locking the door and getting ready to leave. Then I saw this guy following me from the bookstore across the street. He looked pretty suspicious. Since I was going to the supermarket anyway, I thought I'd just follow him. After you went into the supermarket, he was standing outside. You can tell without even guessing that he was following you."

Eri Kisaki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much, Manager Shiraha! I don't know what I would have done without you; the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"I've already called the police, they should be here soon. If you're here, Attorney Fei, we can take your statement while we're at it, so I can say less."

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment before chuckling and saying, "Manager Shiraha, this is a very serious matter... Oh well, I just can't do anything with you, you're always so calm."

"You're quite calm, it's just that you were gripping the things too tightly earlier."

Eri blushed and said with a hint of resentment, "Anyone would be nervous in that situation."

"So, Attorney Fei, a woman shouldn't leave alone so late at night, especially someone like you in a profession where you might face retaliation."

"Job requirements..."

"You can handle it at home, and besides..."

As Bai Yu spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Eri Kisaki, saying, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Eri swallowed nervously, but nodded obediently. Bai Yu sighed and said, "So, while doing things personally can avoid mistakes, some things can be delegated to employees."

"But..."

"There's no 'buts' about it. You're the one being followed, and you're the one going hungry. Women need to treat themselves better, especially women living alone. If you think it's necessary for work, you can come to the store to work overtime in the future, or go home. You don't have to worry about dinner then."

Eri Kisaki couldn't refute him at all, and was even a little timid, but she actually felt quite happy. This was a sign of being cared for; it had been so long since she'd been cared for by anyone other than Ran.

"Attorney Fei, did you hear that?"

"Ah...I heard...I heard you, I'll be careful...Um, Manager Shiraha, can this be kept a secret...I don't want Ran to worry about me."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "This is the last time. After we finish taking your statement, hurry up and grab some dinner. There's a pretty good fish restaurant a few hundred meters ahead; you can try it."

"Understood, thank you, Manager Baiyu."

"Sigh... never mind..."

"Who filed the report? What's going on here...? Eh? Attorney Fei?"

Eri Kisaki, regaining her composure, changed her previous somewhat timid demeanor, cleared her throat, and said in a capable manner, "Officer, this person was following me and was carrying a knife. Fortunately, Manager Shiraha saved me. It was a knife, and neither of us touched it."

"Furthermore, after this person was subdued, Manager Bai Yu did not inflict any secondary harm, and the injury did not constitute minor injury. I have a dashcam in my car, and there is also surveillance footage at the entrance of my law firm, both of which can be used as evidence."

The officer took notes while questioning the two men before handcuffing the man. Breaking his previous silence, the man turned and said venomously, "It's all because of you lawyers! You took my money! My wife divorced me, and I didn't even get a share of the proceeds!"

"Quiet! Take them away! Attorney Fei, and this gentleman, you might need to come back tomorrow..."

"No problem." x2

After the man was taken away, Eri Kisaki was about to say something when she saw Shiraha turn around with a gentle smile and say, "Then that's settled, Attorney Kisaki. Have some dinner and go home. Get some rest. See you tomorrow. Everything's alright now."

Eri's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head, nodded, and said, "Um... see you tomorrow..."

"Okay, by the way, thank you for specifically mentioning earlier that there would be no secondary harm or anything. Attorney Fei is indeed very charismatic when she's serious."

"No... I don't think so... a few."

Chapter 776 Eri Kisaki's Plans: Eri Kisaki, Already Ahead (Please Subscribe~)

Fujimine Yukiko listened for a long time before saying with some surprise, "Is there such a thing? I've never heard you mention it before. And then what? You didn't do anything, did you?"

Eri shook her head and said, "No, I went to the fish restaurant that Bai Yu recommended. It was delicious, but it would have been even more delicious if Bai Yu had cooked it. And I don't know what I was thinking, but I took a picture and sent it to Bai Yu before I ate."

"Huh? Are you a little kid?"

"I don't know what I was thinking, but I sent it out. Bai Yu just replied with 'Enjoy your meal,' and that was it. After I got home, I couldn't sleep. First, I felt scared thinking about what happened that day, and second, my heart was inexplicably racing."

Eri Kisaki said somewhat helplessly, "I don't know why either, but I feel like I haven't been cared for like this in a long time, especially about trivial things. Also... Shiraha was a little assertive that day, so I felt a sense of security I'd never felt before..."

Yukiko Fujimine nodded and said, "That's right, Eri. It doesn't matter where you work overtime. If you work overtime at the store, you can at least take care of your dinner. If you work overtime at home, it's even more convenient."

"I was thinking that I could finish the work in one go and not waste my rest time, right?"

983 "So, you've been alone for too long and lacked affection. You're naturally a very confident and assertive person, but you also read romance novels in high school, which shows that you long for a prince charming. Even your strong queen-like personality can feel timid. Your girlish heart has been rekindled."

Eri blushed, but didn't object. She nodded and said, "Maybe. But when I went to the police station the next day, I made sure to get my hair done, put on makeup, and dressed more casually."

"You're subconsciously paying attention to your own impression now. It seems that from this moment on, your dependence on others, both verbally and emotionally, has turned into a faint liking. It's true that the hero saving the damsel in distress is effective against people like you no matter the era."

"Maybe so. Things went very smoothly. I even invited Bai Yu to lunch afterwards. Overall, I felt quite happy. Life is still the same as usual, but before, we would just chat and then we would inadvertently talk about life. Now, we talk about it every day."

"It's like..."

"Like what?"

Looking at the dark sky, Eri Kisaki said softly, "It's like I'm a part of his life, or he's a part of mine..."

"Pfft... How innocent, Eri."

Eri blushed and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "You're right. I did use that perfume on purpose, and I also dressed up specially. When I saw Shirayu, I was very surprised and delighted, but also a little flustered."

"What?"

"Because I was disheveled, hadn't put on makeup, and ran out in my pajamas. That's a matter of image. Even if I don't have any feelings for Bai Yu, it's still very impolite."

"That's true... But you were slowly boiling the frog in water before, why did you suddenly confess today? And you even took the initiative to say it."

Eri looked around before letting out a sigh of relief and said, "I have something to tell you, but don't tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, we're like family. Just tell me what's on your mind."

"I have a fever."

"It's just... Huh? Huh?! What are you waiting for?!"

Shh! Don't get so excited!

Yukiko Fujimine glanced around before quietly placing her hand on Eri Kisaki's forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Eri wasn't hot. "You scared me to death," she said, "but you don't have a fever."

"It was in the afternoon. I think I didn't rest well, plus I caught a cold, and I was also a little anxious about Bai Yu and work. Today, the wind blew and I got wet from the sea, so I developed a fever. On the way back, we were waiting for the printer... (several hundred words omitted here)."

"That's how it is. When I was half asleep, I felt like I was snuggling into a warm and comforting little bed, a feeling of peace I'd never felt before."

"After I woke up, I saw Bai Yu. Although he was somewhat reproachful, he was still so gentle. It was like gentleness itself. You would feel nervous, but you would still be unable to resist getting closer."

Fujimine Yukiko looked at Eri Kisaki, who was smiling, with a gentle look in her eyes. She hadn't seen Eri like this in so many years; the last time was when Eri won her first case... but even then, she didn't have this gentle look in her eyes.

Eri Kisaki chuckled softly and said, "From that moment on, I knew that he had become a part of my life. When I opened my eyes and saw him, I felt at ease, cared for, and even scolded... but I was really happy."

"No matter how strong and assertive I am, I am still an ordinary woman. I also hope that when I am sick, there will be someone by my side to take care of me, someone who can scold me while also caring about me."

"Someone who can protect me in times of danger, stay by my side when I'm helpless, someone who can comfort me, someone whose homecoming isn't cold and lonely, someone who can cheer me up, someone who loves life, understands life, and can understand me...someone who can create a romantic life...I don't need too many other conditions, that's enough..."

“I know very well that he has entered my heart and made my life more interesting and fulfilling. I know that I like him, but... I don’t know what to do next, but I know that if I don’t say it, I will never have the chance to take the next step.”

"So I told him anyway. I think you're right, I should also think about my own life. Xiaolan is a big girl now... I don't know what to do next, but I feel that I've made up my mind and told him."

"Then there's no turning back. I've already said it, so I need to be prepared. Yukiko, the reason I told you is twofold: first, I want to talk to someone, but it can't be Shiraha; second..."

"Ok?"

Eri Kisaki turned her head, glanced at Yukiko Fujimine, smiled, and said, "If Queen Teitan were to compete again, I would already be in the lead."

"Huh?! What?! You're just like Chris too!"

Chapter 777 Eri's Worries, Rino Kurakichi Arrives (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Eri Kisaki was still chatting with Yukiko Fujimine. After the two started talking, they began to joke with each other. Yukiko Fujimine breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she had always been worried about how Eri Kisaki would choose to live her life.

Is she really destined to grow old alone? If she were to grow old alone with her personality, that would be truly tragic. But now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Eri tightened her trench coat and looked at Shiraha, who was being pestered by Albedo and the others, and said with some doubt, "Yukiko, there's something I'm still very curious about, it's been two or three years."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"You're always traveling all over the world. Even though you're not short of money, what have you been busy with these past few years? We kept in touch a couple of years ago, but I didn't even know where you were."

Yukiko Fujimine thought for a moment and said, "A couple of years ago... I went on a world tour a couple of years ago, but I didn't go to many places before I came here. This place is also part of my travel plans."

"You're something else... Speaking of which, is Kudo still staying home writing novels?"

"Yeah, I can't read it. Comics are much better."

"I give up. You're planning to go see that brat Shinichi Kudo this time? I'm warning you, don't keep mentioning that brat in front of Ran. Ran is stronger than I think, but she's still very emotional. That kid... he hurt her too much."

Yukiko Fujimine sighed and said, "I know, but who knew this guy would be even more outrageous than his dad? He has absolutely no emotional intelligence. Hey, I see Ran and Shiraha are quite close."

Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "This is one of the things I haven't figured out yet."

"Hey... I'm actually looking forward to seeing Xiaolan call me 'sister'."

"That's enough. This matter is giving me a real headache. What about you? Are you planning to meet that Kudo kid when you get back?"

"No interest. As long as there's no danger, that's enough. There's delicious food here, people to chat with, and I don't have to put up with any nonsense. Why would I want to see him? No way. I'll tell Ran later, but don't tell Shinichi, or he'll bother me."

Eri tilted her head and said, "Is it because I'm afraid of disturbing you, or because I'm afraid of disturbing your understanding of Bai Yu?"

"Um...yes! One after another. You, the Queen of Teitan, like him, and Chris is madly in love with him. I need to do some research on him. But for now, my senses are very good. I'm not like you. I don't have so many concerns. If I really like someone, I won't wait for you."

"Who needs you to wait for me? But, what do you think Ran's reaction would be if she were truly disappointed in that brat Shinichi Kudo?"

Yukiko Fujimine shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's not my concern anyway. As long as that kid doesn't cause any accidents, it's fine. Besides, even if Ran is really disappointed in that brat and has made it clear, do you think Shinichi knows how to charm a girl?"

"So, I'm afraid that this kid might suddenly appear out of nowhere and cause some trouble, and Xiaolan will go crazy."
