I've played Chapter 21 before.
"I'll sleep in Xiaolan's room?"
Lin Xiuyi naturally disagreed.
He jumped up from the sofa, rushed to catch up with Eri Kisaki, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"Eri, we haven't seen each other for over ten years, how can you bear to leave me alone in this empty house?"
Lin Xiuyi tightened his arms, holding Fei Yingli firmly in his embrace.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and through the thin silk robes, they could clearly feel each other's body temperature.
Eri Kisaki's body stiffened visibly for a moment, but she quickly relaxed.
She didn't break free, but she also didn't turn around; she simply kept her back to Lin Xiuyi, her voice still tinged with annoyance.
"Who told you to get so close to other women... Not to mention, that Judy, the way she looks at you is something else."
"She's my subordinate, nothing more."
Lin Xiuyi explained softly, his lips almost touching Fei Yingli's earlobe.
"In my heart, there will always be only you. For the past ten years or so, I have thought about you every single day."
His voice was soft, but every word was like a small hammer, striking Eri Kisaki's heart.
Her ears began to turn red, and her breathing became somewhat unsteady.
But Eri Kisaki is no longer a little girl; she's not so easily coaxed.
The female lawyer snorted and tried to pry Lin Xiuyi's hands off her waist: "Sweet talk... do you think I'd still believe that?"
Seeing that her soft approach wouldn't work, Lin Xiu remembered Eri's unyielding personality and had a sudden inspiration. She changed her tone to one of provocation.
"You didn't lose last night, so you're too scared to come back tonight, are you?"
"Who dares to come again! Go ahead and try tonight if you dare!"
Eri Kisaki took the bait as expected, only realizing she'd fallen for a trap after blurting it out. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared angrily at Lin Xiuyi before turning and heading towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Seeing Eri's slightly flustered back, Lin Xiuyi recalled her shy and embarrassed expression just now, and immediately became energetic. He hurriedly went into the bedroom, eagerly waiting for Eri to "walk into the tiger's den".
……
"What did you say we were going to play tonight?"
Wearing a loose yukata, Eri Kisaki leaned against Hayashi Shuichi's chest, her hair still damp.
"Playing..." Lin Xiuyi thought of the misunderstanding Judy had made in the car earlier, and grinned mischievously, "Playing house!"
"Playing house? What's that?" Eri Kisaki reached out and pressed her hand against his chest, looking up with curiosity in her eyes.
"It's just cosplay!"
Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow, reached out and put his arm around the female lawyer's slender waist, leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and told her what Judy had been thinking when she misunderstood him.
"Damn it! Who wants to play this game with you!"
Eri's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she angrily punched Lim Soo-yi twice.
"We've done this before..." Lin Xiuyi said shamelessly as he leaned closer.
"you……"
Fei Yingli recalled the foolish things they did when they were young, and even her ears burned. What happened next was no longer up to her.
"Stop, stop messing around! I... I have to go to school tomorrow..."
……
The next morning, Fei Ying woke up in bed with her hair disheveled.
Seeing Lin Xiuyi still fast asleep beside her, the female lawyer recalled everything that had happened last night, bit her lip in embarrassment and anger, and then suddenly raised her long leg and kicked the man hard to the floor.
"Eri, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Lin Xiuyi groggily got up from the floor and fell back onto the bed, wanting to catch up on sleep and get some rest.
"You had a good time last night, but this old ox is exhausted. Let me sleep a little longer."
His voice grew softer and softer, and he was about to fall asleep again.
Seeing his expression, Eri Kisaki snorted in anger.
She sat up, her silk nightgown slipping off her shoulders to reveal her fair neck and shoulders, still bearing the marks of last night's kisses.
"Wake up!" the female lawyer urged while changing her clothes. "Don't forget you have to take Xiaolan to school today!"
Oh right, I almost forgot about this important thing!
Lin Xiu slapped her forehead, instantly waking up. She quickly jumped out of bed and ran to wash up.
……
When Jodie drove up to the Mori Detective Agency, Ran was already waiting there with Ruri by her side.
The girl's small figure, carrying a large backpack that seemed disproportionate to her size, made her appear exceptionally well-behaved.
When Lin Xiuyi and Judy got out of the car and saw this scene, they were both stunned.
"So cute!"
Judy clasped her hands together in front of her chest and exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Xiuyi, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat lost in thought. Although he had spent more than two days with Xiaolan, he already knew that his daughter was very cute.
But seeing her standing in the sunlight wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt, with a bulging backpack, still melts my heart.
"Sister Judy," Lan looked up with a sweet smile, "Good morning!"
"morning!"
Judy replied with a smile, and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle the girl's hair.
"This child has been adorable since she was little!" Liuli chuckled as she squatted down and gently rubbed Xiaolan's cheek, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Aunt Liuli, do you mean I'm not cute anymore now that I'm all grown up?" Xiaolan puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be angry.
"No, it's just..." Liuli quickly waved her hand.
"Hehe, I know!" Xiaolan laughed and jumped into Liuli's arms, hugging her tightly, then turned to look at Lin Xiuyi.
He was opening his arms, his eyes full of anticipation, waiting for his daughter's hug.
Xiaolan snorted angrily, turned her head, opened the back door of the car, and sat down, clearly still angry about what happened with Yuanzi earlier.
Still holding a grudge... Just like Eri, she's petty!
Lin Xiuyi shrugged resignedly, nodded to Liuli, and got into the car.
"Take good care of her," Liuli whispered to him from outside the car window. "This child... actually needs her parents' love."
Her voice was soft, but every word struck Lin Xiuyi's heart heavily. He nodded solemnly.
"I will."
……
Teitan Elementary School.
"Teacher Lin," Lin Xiuyi bowed deeply, "I'm entrusting my daughter to your care!"
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Xiaolan." Kobayashi Sumiko smiled gently, squatted down to look Xiaolan in the eye, her eyes kind and friendly.
"Ms. Lin, Xiaolan is a bit shy. What if some students at school bully her...?"
"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, the students at our school are all very friendly, not that bad."
"Ms. Kobayashi, Ran, she..."
……
"Mr. Lin, if you continue like this, Xiaolan will miss her first class today!"
Sumiko Kobayashi finally couldn't help but interrupt the other person.
She has been a primary school teacher for two or three years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a persistent parent.
If it weren't for noticing that Lin Xiuyi's gaze was clear and without any abnormality, Kobayashi Chengzi would have suspected that the other party was deliberately pestering her.
However, this Mr. Lin Xiuyi is indeed very handsome, with a mature and steady demeanor that carries a touch of refinement, and he also looks quite wealthy...
A small ripple stirred in Kobayashi Sumiko's heart, but she quickly shook her head vigorously.
No, no, he's a student's parent, and I'm a teacher. I absolutely can't have any wild thoughts!
Besides, he's not a policeman!
