"Xia Ye, get me a banana~"
Perhaps because Xia Ye called him "sister" so many times, Fei Yingli almost treated him like a younger brother, ordering him around without any politeness, and even teasing him a bit.
Xia Ye didn't care.
I casually took a banana from the fruit that Kuriyama Midori had bought, peeled it, and handed it to her.
Watching Eri Kisaki eat in small bites.
This feeling—it seems pretty good!
Chapter 158 Eri Kisaki's Pouting for a Bowl of Ramen
Eri swallowed the banana in her mouth.
Xia Ye immediately asked with concern:
"how do you feel?"
Her esophagus had been corroded by poison and had just undergone detoxification and healing; it was now all new, tender flesh. Xia Ye didn't know if she would experience any discomfort.
"It feels a little awkward, but it doesn't hurt."
Eri Kisaki ran her fingers down her throat, across her chest, and down to her lower abdomen, frowning slightly as she said:
"I can feel it in several places from top to bottom. Is the poison very potent?"
"The poison isn't that potent—"
Xia Ye glared at her helplessly and sighed:
"You've been eating too much. I just don't understand. You can tell there's something wrong with the chocolate just by smelling it, and you can eat several of them. You're so stupid!"
"How dare you talk to your older sister like that!"
Eri was unhappy, and then came words that made Xia Ye very uncomfortable, such as "I thought it was Ran who gave it to me, what's wrong with eating a few more?", "I like that bitter taste, is that not allowed?", and "How dare you scold me, you little brother?" The ward was filled with a comical atmosphere, and even Ran and the others who were ordering food over there cast their smiling gazes over.
"Xiaolan!"
Xia Ye waved to Xiao Lan.
"What's wrong, Xia Ye?"
Xiao Lan got up and walked to the bedside.
She was too lazy to think about those complicated things. Anyway, Xia Ye was getting along quite well with her mother, and her mother seemed to be in a good mood. That was enough. She could worry about the rest later.
"Order your mom a bowl of clear broth ramen."
It's best to be cautious about Eri's situation.
If you let her eat hard food, the newly healed area will be scratched again. Treatment will be the least of your worries; it will be very painful!
"and many more!"
Eri Kisaki began to sing a dissenting tune:
"I don't want plain ramen, at least I should have a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, right? Ran, give me a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen!"
"Haha~"
Xia Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Xiaolan!"
"I see!"
Xiao Lan clasped her hands together, stuck out her tongue, and gave her mother an apologetic look. There was nothing she could do; her mother was a patient, and she had to listen to professionals about what to eat. Xia Ye was the most professional of all, so of course she had to listen to him!
"Xiaolan!"
Eri Kisaki looked aggrieved and pursed her lips.
This girl is truly my own daughter!
So you can't even let your own mother have a bowl of tonkotsu ramen?
However—the culprit is still Xia Ye. If we don't deal with him, nothing we say will make a difference!
Eri blinked.
To be honest, I'm not a picky eater, and I can eat clear broth ramen, so why am I so determined to eat that bowl of tonkotsu ramen? I seem to have become a little strange since just now!
Well!
This is quite fun.
I'm really going to have some tonkotsu ramen today!
Eri looked at Natsume, a bright and charming but obviously fake smile spreading across her pretty face, her tone ingratiating:
"Xia Ye, didn't I tell you? The wound doesn't hurt, so let me have tonkotsu ramen!"
Xia Ye suppressed a laugh and looked at Xiao Lan.
"Xiaolan~"
"Hey!"
Order some tonkotsu ramen for your mom, with an egg!
Look at how the aloof Queen Eri has been forced into this situation! She's so humble and almost begging for a bowl of ramen. Natsume can't bear to refuse her anymore!
"it is good!"
Xiao Lan turned around quickly with a serious face, her shoulders shaking rapidly, probably doing a shoulder-shaking dance, definitely not laughing!
not far away.
Yukiko huddled together with Ran and Akemi, her pretty face beaming with pride as she whispered boasting, "Eri is almost done. What do you think of my move?"
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes in exasperation. You're helping my boyfriend pick up other women, and you still expect me to praise you, huh?
You're awesome!
Akemi, the gentle but occasionally cunning older sister, seriously analyzed the situation for Yukiko:
"It seems that Yingli is into younger men, and also into looks. Hmm, maybe she likes strong yet gentle men. Xia Ye fits the bill perfectly, she's definitely not going to escape him!"
Mingmei has already started calling Yingli "Sister," and since Xia Ye, the head of the family, calls her that, they naturally have to follow suit—that's called husband and wife in harmony!
"Wow, Akemi!"
Yukiko looked at Akemi in surprise. She had been close friends with Eri for twenty years before she finally figured out all of her secrets, but Akemi had seen through it all at a glance.
"Where, where~"
Akemi smiled modestly.
In his mind, however, he was furiously complaining: Why do I need to guess? I can just put the image you created for Xia Ye into it, why bother with all that effort!
"Yukiko!"
What other plans do you have?
Akemi seemed intrigued. Yukiko clearly wanted to push her best friend into Natsume's "fire pit." She wondered what methods Yukiko would use. Speaking of which, she was particularly shrewd about these kinds of things. Let's get involved and see what she plans to do!
"You are interested in?"
A smile appeared in Yukiko's beautiful eyes:
"Aren't you jealous?"
"Haha~"
Akemi rolled her eyes at her:
"How could I possibly handle being jealous?"
"Someone just lounges around at home all day."
"Cough cough!"
Yukiko, who had been called out by Akemi, quickly chuckled awkwardly:
"If you're interested, we can talk about it when we get home!"
"it is good!"
Ai watched as her sister and Yukiko exchanged a wicked smile, reaching an wicked agreement, and was speechless. These two must be afraid they don't have enough women in the house, and besides—
Ai looked at Ran, who was holding the hospital phone and ordering tonkotsu ramen with an egg for her mother. Didn't these two idiots think about what Ran would do in the end?
Hey!
.....
Eri Kisaki was eating tonkotsu ramen at the special dining table on her hospital bed. The hospital cafeteria's cooking was mediocre, and the ramen wasn't very tasty, but she ate it with relish, after all, it was something she had worked hard to earn.
However, when she thought of how she had given in to Xia Ye for a bowl of ramen and almost acted coquettishly towards him, Fei Yingli blushed. Wasn't she a little too undignified just now?
Well......
It's alright~
Yukiko just caused all that trouble.
Xia Ye seemed to have truly become her younger brother; the intense, masculine gaze he usually directed at her had lessened considerably, replaced by a gentle, caring concern.
In this case--
It's not wrong to act cute with your younger brother!
So, after some mental contemplation, Eri successfully convinced herself to completely normalize her relationship with Natsume.
What is my brother doing?
Eri looked curiously at Natsume sitting by the bed.
Xiaolan had finished the noodles with soybean paste that she had ordered for him; the plate was set aside, and he was holding his phone.
Ok?
The diary was unfolded in front of Eri Kisaki.
At the same time, everyone in the ward except for Kuriyama Midori opened their logs, which made Kuriyama Midori scratch her head. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become a little strange?
[The Fourteenth Target, a theatrical film, is one of my favorites. However, Uncle Mori and Conan went on vacation to Kyushu Island, so the main characters aren't there. How can they make it work?]
"Never mind, I'll do it."
[Speaking of which, this is probably another side effect of my time travel. Eri's injuries are much more serious than in the original story. Although the poison used by the murderer was a slow-acting poison, it was still very potent. If I hadn't been in Dongdu, she might really have died this time—]
In the group chat of the log.
Eri Kisaki is now being besieged by her own daughter and best friend.
Xiaolan: Mom, you saw that? Next time you have to be more careful and never eat anything from unknown sources!
Yukiko: You have no sense of vigilance at all. You don't suspect anything when you hear that Ran gave you the gift. You're so careless. Even if this hadn't happened, you would have suffered sooner or later!
Ai: Xia Ye said that you have maintained an undefeated record in lawsuits since your debut, which means that all your opponents have lost. In this case, you can be said to have enemies everywhere, so you should be careful.
Mingmei: Everyone is right. Yingli, you'd better be more careful. If something really happens to you, a lot of people will be heartbroken.
Eri: I know! I was just scolded by Natsume, and now I'm going to be scolded by you guys. I'll definitely be more careful in the future, please forgive me!
[Eri was in so much pain just now, I might as well just kill the culprit when we find him. He's a psychopath anyway. Inspector Megure, Professor Agasa, and Eri have nothing to do with him. He's just trying to confuse the situation and drag them into this. Killing him wouldn't be unjust!]
Xiaolan: ......
Ai: What's wrong? Did the angel soften her heart again?
Xiaolan: Pah! Don't talk nonsense, I'm very happy!
Mingmei: Yingli, what do you mean? Xia Ye is avenging you. You're not going to talk about judicial fairness and procedural justice, are you?
Eri Kisaki: What judicial fairness? I don't believe in that. In Japan, how can you be a lawyer if you really believe in it? As for Natsume saying she'll kill that murderer to avenge me—actually, I'm quite happy about it!
Yukiko: Tsk, your mindset changes pretty quickly!
Eri Kisaki: Hehe~
[In truth, it's all Uncle Mori's fault!]
[All the people connected in this entire movie are his cronies, no wonder the killer knows him so well and can even weave his friends into a deck of cards~]
