"Um......"
Xia Ye patted her little hand and said with a soft laugh:
"It's okay, you can stay here and keep your mom company. Anyway, we're going to the Izu beach the day after tomorrow, so we can have some fun then!"
"Hmm~"
Xiao Lan's pretty face lit up with a bright smile.
"I understand!" II.
Chapter 166 Your plan is good, but I need to make some modifications!
Ran is going to stay and take care of Eri.
Conan, who was originally supposed to go to the Suzuki family's mountain villa with Ran, hasn't seen Ran at all and is instead having a great time with Kogoro Mouri, so he wasn't invited either.
Um--
Xiao Lan isn't here.
The development of the plot has become an unknown.
This is actually not bad!
At least it felt a bit new~
"correct!"
"I haven't told Sonoko yet—"
Xiaolan realized she hadn't told her best friend about her decision yet, so she quickly took out her phone and dialed Yuanzi's number.
Instant response~
The call was answered after only two rings, and Sonoko's energetic and lively voice came from the other end:
"Xiaolan, what's wrong?"
"It's like this, Sonoko—"
Xiaolan explained the situation to Yuanzi, and said somewhat apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Sonoko, I already promised you I'd go, but now I'm breaking my promise~"
"Ran, what nonsense are you talking about? Aunt Eri is injured, isn't it your duty to stay and take care of her!"
Sonoko first comforted Ran with a few words, then immediately revealed her true nature, laughing and saying:
"Besides, as long as Xia Ye can come with us, that's fine. This young lady values romance over friendship and only wants to hang out with handsome guys. As for pretty girls like you who will interfere with my dating life, you should just stay at home!"
"Pfft——!"
Xiao Lan's beautiful eyes sparkled.
A smile graced her pretty face.
That brat Yuanzi only tells half the truth. "June 17th"
It's absolutely true that she wants to hang out with Xia Ye. After all, someone who likes handsome guys like her is completely powerless against Xia Ye's type.
As for whether he would affect her ability to soak in summer leaves?
Pshaw, everyone knows who's who these days. We all know what's going on but we don't say it. If you're so good, then go for it! Stop just talking and show us some real action!
If you're so capable, why don't you just go straight to home plate?
Xiao Lan glanced at Xia Ye, who was smiling beside her, and, suppressing a laugh, reminded her:
"Yuanzi, Xia Ye is sitting right next to me. Do you want to say a few words to him? Aren't you planning to woo him?"
"Xia Ye is here too?"
Garden paused for a moment, then said in a shocked tone:
"Aunt Yingli still dares to let Xia Ye in?"
"..."
Because Sonoko's voice was so loud, even Eri, who was quite far away, heard her voice. As a result, Natsume inexplicably received a charming yet resentful eye roll!
Xia Ye raised an eyebrow.
Based on what Sonoko just said, she at least knows that she saw Eri's exposed skin when she came to Eri's apartment last time.
Yukiko also knew about it.
That means Ai and Akemi both know!
At the time, only Natsume, Eri, and Ran experienced this event; others should have no way of knowing about it.
Now so many people know.
It could only have been leaked by three people.
Xia Ye didn't tell anyone.
So what about the other two—
It must have been Xiaolan who said that about the garden.
As for Yukiko, Natsume looked at Eri, who had just glared at her. She even told everyone that she had seen her naked. She's really going all out, Eri-nee!
Eri Kisaki looked at Natsume with a strange expression.
An inner fire of evil rose within him.
If it weren't for this lousy log that has absolutely no regard for privacy, who would know that this bastard has seen everything?
Xia Ye just had to write random things in her diary, and now she's afraid to see the other diary owners, worried they'll look at her strangely and make wild guesses, like:
This is Eri Kisaki, the one who was seen naked by Natsume. She does have a pretty good figure, but was that wardrobe malfunction intentional? Did she deliberately seduce Natsume? And so on...
Think of this.
Eri Kisaki glanced at Yukiko beside her.
This guy's glorious feat of preventing Xia Ye from taking down "FirstBlood" was written in his diary. He actually spent six hours "persuading" Xia Ye, leaving him no energy to write in his diary. This willpower is truly admirable!
Speaking of which——
I wonder what that feeling is like?
It must be very...tiring, right?
Eri Kisaki suddenly felt a surge of emotion.
Although she quickly regained control of her emotions, the vivid battle that Yukiko had boasted about still took root in her mind, waiting for the day when it would sprout!
.....
"Hehe, Xia Ye!"
Xia Ye and Xiao Lan's side.
Even though she had just said something strange about wanting to woo Natsume, Sonoko wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she hung up on Ran and immediately called her via video.
On the phone screen, a pure and innocent face, no less beautiful than Xiaolan's, radiated a cheerful and adorable energy that instantly lifted one's spirits.
Xia Ye glanced at the familiar background in her video, smiled slightly, and asked:
"Are you in your living room?"
"Yes~"
The gardener spun his phone.
Two delicate and pretty faces appeared in the video:
"I'm watching TV with Mom and my sister. Mom, sis, say hello to Xiaolan and the others!"
"Xiaolan, good evening. Where's your mother?"
Suzuki Tomoko appeared to have finished showering; her pretty short hair still retained a faint dampness. Her bare face, completely free of makeup, was fair and rosy, as delicate as a young girl's. Sitting next to her eldest daughter, the two looked like sisters—young, beautiful, and exuding an elegant and charming aura.
Xiao Lan clicked her tongue in amazement.
Is this the effect of the Youth Preservation Pill?
It seems to have a better effect than those "Restore Youth" log rewards that Mom exchanged!
But according to Ai...
The effects of the Youth-Preserving Pill are only on appearance, which is not as good as the "Restore Youth" that can completely restore you to a youthful state!
"Auntie Pengzi, my mom's here~"
"Yo~ Good evening, Tomoko~"
Yukiko's delicate face peeked out from between Natsume and Ran, smiling and waving at Tomoko Suzuki on the phone screen:
"It's been a long time. I remember the last time we met was at Shinichi and Sonoko's elementary school graduation ceremony. It's been almost five years, hasn't it?"
"Pretty much. I see Eri quite often, but it's been a long time since I've seen you. Let's hang out sometime. I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
Looking at Yukiko's face, which was exactly the same as when they last met, Suzuki Tomoko felt a pang of resentment. This woman was so favored by the heavens! Her naturally maintained appearance was even younger and more beautiful than Suzuki Tomoko's, even after she had taken the Youth Preservation Pill. It was as if time had never left a mark on her!
"Okay~"
Yukiko chuckled and nodded:
"I'll be staying in Japan for a long time from now on. Let's find a chance to go out for a drink together, without the girls like Ran and Sonoko. Let's talk about adult topics~"
Yukiko knew in her heart that this Mrs. Suzuki, who looked much younger, was definitely also a log holder, and would most likely become one of them in the future. It would be good for them to get closer.
"Okay~"
Tomoko Suzuki really wanted to talk to Yukiko.
After all, she was incredibly active in the log group chat, like a water goddess; a quick look through the chat history reveals just how much she talked.
Moreover, no matter when, as long as someone starts a group chat, she can inexplicably sneak in and chat for a long time, occasionally saying some explicit and strange things. It's just that you can't post pictures in the group chat now, otherwise there would have been pictures flying everywhere!
However, this also illustrates...
She is very popular among the log holders; everyone enjoys being around her and chatting with her!
What pleased Tomoko Suzuki the most was...
Yukiko is also keen to create various opportunities for Natsume to improve his relationship with the log holders. This is extremely important for her job as the log administrator, so of course she should discuss it with her and encourage her to keep up the good work!
Tomoko Suzuki was calculating in her mind, but her pretty face remained expressionless. She looked at Eri Kisaki, who had come to Yukiko's side, and greeted her with a smile:
"Eri, what do you think of what I just talked to Yukiko about? How about we grab a drink sometime?"
"Okay~"
Eri readily agreed.
However, looking at Tomoko Suzuki's charming face on her phone screen, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she were facing Yukiko.
However, this feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving her unable to discern which of her feelings for Yukiko it was:
Is it like a close friend?
Or is it the rage of wanting to punch her when she's being teased?
After exchanging pleasantries.
The three mature and sexy women chatted for a few minutes.
Xia Ye exclaimed from the side that life is worth living.
Two different, subtle fragrances wafted from behind, mingling with the fresh and elegant scent emanating from Xiaolan beside him.
The two charming, peach-blossom-like faces so close together, along with Suzuki Tomoko's dignified and exquisite appearance on the phone screen, made him a little dizzy. After all, these three could be said to be the pinnacle of beauty and temperament among the wives of Conan. At such a close distance, who wouldn't be confused?
in fact.
The three beautiful women who were chatting had long since sensed Xia Ye's "spying". After all, no matter how Xia Ye tried to hide it, the gazes he cast on them always carried a hint of longing, admiration, or lechery. Women are most sensitive to this kind of gaze, so it would be strange if they didn't notice!
but--
No one pointed it out.
Even Eri Kisaki showed no unusual expression.
