Ke Xue: Starting as a repairman, visiting Eri Kisaki

Lu Ning traveled through the world of science and suddenly an “order-taking app” appeared on his mobile phone.

Ding! A new task has been released. Repair the washing machine at Eri Kisaki’s house.

When Lu Ning walked into Fei Yingli’s home, he repaired the washing machine and also repaired Fei Yingli.

In the days that followed, Lu Ning took on missions while punishing Mao Li Ran, Miyamoto Yumi, Sato Miwako… and solving cases at the same time.

Life is like this, what more could you ask for!

Ke Xue: Starting as a repairman, visiting Eri Kisaki
Chapter 1: The mysterious order-taking app!
The streets of Tokyo are bustling and familiar, the sun shines on the streets of Beikacho, and the air is filled with the aroma of cafes and ramen stalls.
Lu Ning stood on the street corner, holding a mobile phone in his hand, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Just a few hours ago, he was watching episodes of “Detective Conan” in his rental house, but the next second he appeared inexplicably in this world.
The sign of “Poirot Cafe” on the street was clearly visible, and on the tall building in the distance hung the iconic billboard of Beika Town – all this told him that he had traveled through time and really arrived in Conan’s world.
Lu Ning lowered his head and said nothing. He rubbed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Time travel might be exciting in novels, but when it really happens to you, it’s just terrifying.
He was just an ordinary programmer, and being thrown into this murderous world without any preparation was even more outrageous than a nightmare.
After looking around and confirming that there were no suspicious people around, he focused his attention on the phone in his hand.
On the mobile phone screen, an unfamiliar APP icon was flashing, with a name that was simple and perfunctory – “Take Orders”.
Lu Ning wrinkled his nose and stared at the icon, without any memory of it in his mind.
I can be sure that this thing was definitely not in my phone before I went to bed yesterday.
After hesitating for a moment, he slid his fingertips across the screen a few times, and after confirming that it was not a virus software, he clicked on the APP.
The interface is as simple as a semi-finished product, with only two modules: the task bar and the reward record bar.
A prompt box pops up in the center of the screen, with bold and eye-catching font:
New task released: Repair the drum washing machine at Hibiki Eri’s house
Mission location: Beihua-cho 2-chome, the residence above the law office of Eri Kisaki
Mission Reward: Newbie Gift Pack (machine repair skills, portable digital camera, 10 cubic meters of portable space)
Task deadline: Complete within 24 hours
Lu Ning raised his little face and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Repair washing machine?
What kind of mission is this?
What’s even more outrageous is that the mission location is actually Eri Kisaki’s home!
The famous “Queen” lawyer in the Conan world has such a strong aura that it can scare people away!
He is a programmer who is usually too lazy to even change a light bulb. Now you want him to repair home appliances?
And you’re going to the home of such an important person?
He turned around, leaned against the electric pole on the street, his eyes darkened, and he fell into a brief silence.
Time travel is bizarre enough, and the emergence of this APP is even more bizarre.
Tasks, rewards, portable space… this is clearly the trick of the golden finger!
But Lu Ning knew clearly that the Conan world was not a safe place and he could be involved in a murder case if he was not careful.
After thinking about it, I finally gritted my teeth and clicked the “Accept” button.
The screen flashed, and the prompt box turned into a green line of “Task Accepted”.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of information flooded into Lu Ning’s mind, as if he had been forcibly instilled with a book called “Home Appliance Repair Handbook”.
The correct way to hold a screwdriver, the steps for checking circuit boards, how to troubleshoot washing machines… this knowledge is so clear in his mind that it seems like he knew it naturally.
He was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but chuckle.
This machine repair skill is simply a magical skill. At least I don’t have to worry about showing weakness in front of Kisaki Eri.
At the same time, a small digital camera was added to his backpack, weighing heavily on his shoulders.
Lu Ning took it out and looked at it curiously. The camera had a retro appearance but was fully functional, and the words “Exclusively for Conan World” were displayed on the screen.
He rolled his eyes and tried to move his mind, and the camera disappeared out of thin air. A 10 cubic meter transparent space appeared in his mind, and the camera was floating quietly inside.
It feels like I have a portable warehouse.
This space is so spacious that it can even be used for moving, not to mention installing a camera!
Lu Ning clenched his fists and his confidence grew.
With these rewards, the first task should not be difficult to complete, right?
Following the navigation of the APP, I walked towards Beika-cho 2-chome, with a brisk but slightly nervous pace.
After all, the next person to face is Eri Kisaki, the woman that even Kogoro Mori has to stay away from.
At the same time, in a high-end apartment in Beika-cho 2-chome, Eri Kisaki was standing at the door of the laundry room with her arms folded across her chest, staring at the washing machine that was out of service.
There was still a pile of clothes soaking in the washing machine, and the fault code “E03” was flashing on the screen, and there was no response no matter how I pressed the buttons.
She sighed, looking a little impatient.
As the top lawyer in Tokyo, she is used to being in control of everything, but facing this “rebellious” machine, she can do nothing.
Kisaki Eri frowned slightly, recalling what happened last night.
She was already overwhelmed with cases at the office, and now the washing machine was adding to the chaos.
The clothes at home are piled up like a mountain. If I don’t wash them, I will have to wear yesterday’s shirts.
She muttered quietly: “I should have let Xiaolan handle it…”
However, when he thought of his daughter Ran Maoli’s amazing strength, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Xiaolan went to school today and she is the only one at home.
He turned around and went back to the living room, picked up his mobile phone from the coffee table, and flipped to an unknown maintenance website.
She accidentally clicked on this webpage last night. The interface was so simple that it made people doubt its reliability, but it promised “on-site service within 30 minutes” and the repair fee was much lower than the market price.
Kisaki Eri narrowed her eyes and stared at the “Order Now” button on the web page. She hesitated for a moment, but finally clicked it with the mentality of giving it a try.
After the order was submitted, a message popped up on the screen: “The repairman will arrive within 30 minutes, please keep the phone open.”
Kisaki Eri raised her eyebrows, thinking that this efficiency was a bit too high.
He placed his phone on the table, picked up a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and took a sip.
The sunlight from the window shone on her face, reflecting a hint of fatigue.
She turned her head, glanced at the clock on the wall, and silently calculated the time.
“I hope it’s not a liar this time…”
Kisaki Eri murmured in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
He stood up, walked to the balcony, and glanced at the street below.
The repairman hasn’t arrived yet, but she’s already starting to look forward to it – after all, it’s rare to find a repairman who can come on time in a place like Beika Town.
…………
Lu Ning stood downstairs of Fei Yingli’s house, looked up at the high-end apartment, and his heart beat faster.
The navigation of the APP is incredibly accurate, even the apartment number is clearly marked.
He took a deep breath and clapped his hands, trying to ease the tension.
Hibiki Eri is now waiting for the repairman upstairs, and she is the one who is about to knock on the door.
I looked down at my phone. The task interface of the APP was still flashing, and the reward icon was emitting an attractive light.
Lu Ning pursed his lips and secretly made up his mind: no matter what happens next, he must complete this task.
After all, this could be his first step to gaining a foothold in the Conan world.
He took a step forward, walked into the apartment building, and headed towards Kisaki Eri’s home.
The corridor was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and his adventure was about to begin.

Chapter 2 A day as a repairman!
In a high-end apartment in Beika-cho 2-chome, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the carpet in the living room, and the air is filled with a faint aroma of coffee.
Eri Kisaki had just dealt with a tricky luggage dispute case. Documents were piled up on her desk and the client’s voice on the phone was still echoing in her ears.
She rubbed her temples and looked a little tired.
As one of the top lawyers in Tokyo, she was already accustomed to the high-pressure work pace. But today’s lawsuit was particularly exhausting. The client repeatedly revised his claims, leaving her without even time to eat lunch.
Hibiki Eri sighed, took off her high heels, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that there was still some time before the maintenance man came.
The washing machine had been broken for two days and the clothes were piled up like a mountain. She could only hope for the repairman sent by the unknown website.
I thought that these small websites were probably unreliable, but there was no other way.
I picked up the coffee on the coffee table, took a sip, and decided to put aside work and housework for a while and relax.
She walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and took out a private toy from the bedside table – it was something she occasionally used to relieve stress, and it was hidden so secretly that even Mao Lilan didn’t know about it.
Kisaki Eri turned her head and confirmed that the door was locked, then frowned slightly with a hint of hesitation.
She didn’t do this often, but today she was too tired and needed a little release both physically and mentally.
The bedroom curtains were half-drawn, and the sunlight softly shone on the sheets, creating a quiet atmosphere.
Kisaki Eri lowered her head and said nothing. She sat on the edge of the bed, slowly immersing herself in her own world.
Her movements were gentle and her eyes flickered, revealing a complex emotion – both relaxed pleasure and the hidden shyness of being a professional woman.
“Just a little while… should be fine.”
As time passed, she gradually forgot the hustle and bustle of the outside world, even putting the matter of the washing machine behind her.
–
Just a few hours after traveling to the Conan world, he received a mission to repair the washing machine at Eri Kisaki’s house. He also inexplicably obtained repair skills, a digital camera and 10 cubic meters of portable space.
These golden fingers gave him more confidence, but he was still a little nervous about the “Queen” lawyer he was about to meet.
Take out the toolbox from the portable space – this is a gift from the APP, and it contains all kinds of screwdrivers and wrenches.
Lu Ning shrugged and encouraged himself secretly: Isn’t it just repairing a washing machine? With the golden finger in hand, what is there to be afraid of!
I walked into the corridor and took the elevator to the door of Kisaki Eri’s house.
The house number was exactly the same as the address on the APP. He bit his lip and adjusted his expression, trying to appear more professional.
Lu Ning raised his hand and knocked on the door gently. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.
In the bedroom, Kisaki Eri was immersed in her own world, but the knock on the door broke the silence like thunder.
She was shocked, her hands paused, and her eyes suddenly became serious.
He quickly put away the toys, stuffed them back into the bedside table, straightened his clothes, and stood up pretending to be calm.
My face was red, my heart was beating fast, and I was secretly annoyed at myself for forgetting that the repairman might arrive at any time.
Kisaragi murmured in a low voice: “It came too quickly…”
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and quickly walked to the living room.
When I opened the door, I saw a young man standing at the door. He was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, carrying a backpack and holding a toolbox. He didn’t look like a traditional repairman.
She raised her eyebrows, looked Lu Ning up and down, and said in a calm but tentative tone: “Are you a repairman?”
Lu Ning nodded and forced a polite smile.
“Yes, my name is Lu Ning, and I came to repair the washing machine according to your order.”
Kisaki Eri’s aura was even stronger than he had imagined, and standing in front of her was like being examined by a judge.
“It should be fixed soon.”
Hibiki Eri turned her head and motioned for him to come in: “The washing machine is over there. It has been broken for two days. Please hurry up.”
He took Lu Ning through the living room to the laundry room and pointed at the washing machine.
The fault code “E03” was flashing on the screen, and there was a pile of clothes soaking in it.
She put her hands on her hips and briefly explained the situation: “It just won’t start. It keeps giving errors.”
Lu Ning squatted down and observed the machine. The repair skills in his mind automatically started working, and various troubleshooting methods emerged clearly.
“I’ll check it out, it’ll be fine soon.”
Seeing that he seemed confident, Kisaki Eri’s eyes flickered for a moment. Without saying anything more, she turned around and went back to the bedroom.
I closed the door gently, but I didn’t expect that the door was not closed tightly and there was a gap.
He sat back on the bed and picked up a legal magazine, trying to look busy, but his mind was a little confused.
The knock on the door just now caught her off guard, and she was not even sure if she had tidied her bedroom.
He shook his head, trying to focus.
However, not long after, Kisaki Eri put down the book in her hand and started what she had not finished before.
In the laundry room, Lu Ning was concentrating on repairing things.
He skillfully disassembled the outer casing of the washing machine and checked the internal parts, his movements as smooth as a veteran.
He found that a small piece of cloth was stuck in the drain pump, no wonder the machine reported an error.
He clapped his hands gently, carefully took out the fabric, and after confirming that there were no other problems, he reassembled the machine.
Ten minutes later, the washing machine made a low roar, the fault code on the screen disappeared, and it resumed normal operation.
Lu Ning stood up and smiled with satisfaction, feeling that he was a dark horse in the maintenance industry.
After wiping the dust off his hands, he decided to report to Eri Kisaki.
The living room was empty. Lu Ning looked around and noticed that the bedroom door was ajar and he could faintly hear strange sounds coming from inside.
He hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists, and mustered up the courage to walk over.
She knocked on the door frame and called softly, “Lawyer Fei, the washing machine has been repaired. Do you want to come and see it?”
No one responded. Lu Ning wrinkled his nose, feeling a little strange.
I gently pushed the door open, looked inside, and suddenly I froze.
Eri Kisaki sat on the edge of the bed, holding the private toy in her hand, obviously not having time to put it away.
He seemed to be about to continue what he was doing, with a relaxed look on his face, and was completely unaware of Lu Ning’s arrival.
Lu Ning opened his mouth in surprise, his mind went blank.
His eyes widened and he was so scared that he almost screamed. He quickly covered his mouth and forced himself to calm down.
My heart was beating as fast as a drum, my eyes were flickering, and I was at a loss.
The appearance of Kisaki Eri completely overturned his perception of this “Queen” lawyer. The scene was so shocking that he even suspected he was dreaming.
At this moment, Lu Ning subconsciously reached for his backpack and took out the digital camera.
He was a little flustered, but for some reason he pressed the record button, and the screen began to record the image of Kisaki Eri.
I held my breath and moved very carefully, afraid of making any noise.
His fingers were trembling slightly, his mind was in a mess, he only knew that the scene was too shocking and he had to stay – maybe for self-protection, maybe it was just an instinctive reaction.
Lu Ning stood behind the crack in the door, with the camera lens aimed at Fei Yingli, and the recording time slowly jumped on the screen.
I was struggling internally, shocked and not knowing how to end this.
And Kisaki Eri in the bedroom was still immersed in her own world, unaware that this scene had been secretly recorded.
Chapter 3: Out of Control Request! (Old Version)
Chapter 3: Out of control request!
In a high-end apartment in Beika-cho 2-chome, the afternoon sun shines through the half-closed curtains, onto the bedroom sheets, casting mottled light and shadows.
Lu Ning stood behind the half-open bedroom door, holding a digital camera in his hand, and the recording time on the screen was still ticking slowly.
His heart was beating as fast as a drum, and he stared at Kisaki Eri beside the bed with wide eyes.
The other person was immersed in his own private world. The toy in his hand made a slight sound and he had a relaxed look on his face. He was completely unaware of the peeping outside the door.
Lu Ning bit his lower lip, his mind in a mess.
It had only been half a day since he traveled to the world of “Detective Conan”. Not only did he receive the task of repairing the washing machine, he also accidentally discovered the privacy of this legendary lawyer.
He held his breath and moved very carefully, fearing that the camera would make any sound.
His fingers trembled slightly, his eyes sank, and he was struggling internally – the scene was too shocking, he was shocked and didn’t know how to end it.
Recording the video was an instinctive reaction, perhaps for self-protection, or perhaps he was just frightened by the scene in front of him.
As time passed, Kisaki Eri’s movements gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
She murmured a few words, as if talking to herself, then slowly put away the toys and stuffed them back into the drawer of the bedside table.
Seeing this, Lu Ning quickly pressed the stop button on the camera, and the last few seconds of the scene were frozen on the screen.
He lowered his eyes and quietly put the camera back into his pocket, a thin layer of sweat seeping out of his forehead.
It’s too dangerous to continue standing here, we must leave quickly.
Lu Ning gently closed the half-open door, his movements were so gentle that they were almost soundless.
He took a few steps back, stood in the middle of the living room, and looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual.
He took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart, tugged at his sleeves, and tried to look calm.
Lu Ning cleared his throat, returned to the bedroom door, raised his hand, and knocked gently on the door, deliberately raising his voice: “Lawyer Fei, the washing machine has been repaired, do you want to check it?”
In the bedroom, Hibiki Eri had just put away her toys when she heard a knock on the door. Her body suddenly stiffened and her cheeks turned red instantly.
He adjusted his clothes in a panic, crossed his arms over his chest, and forced himself to calm down.
“This kid…why did he choose this time…”
He glanced at the bedside table to make sure the drawer was closed, and quickly scanned the room to make sure he hadn’t left any traces.
Kisaki Eri raised her little face, trying to hide her inner embarrassment. She quickly combed her hair, adjusted her expression, and tried to appear as if nothing had happened.
She opened the door and walked out, with a blush still on her face.
She turned her face away, avoiding Lu Ning’s gaze, and walked towards the living room with slightly stiff steps.
“Fixed? Then I’ll go take a look.”
The voice was steady, but Kisaki Eri’s fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, revealing a barely perceptible nervousness.
Lu Ning followed behind him, scratched his hair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Kisaki Eri didn’t seem to notice the peeping just now, which made him feel temporarily relieved.
The scene just now kept replaying in my mind, and my heartbeat was still so fast that it was almost out of control.
In the laundry room, the drum washing machine stood quietly in the corner, and the fault code no longer flashed on the screen.
Hibiki Eri walked forward, bent over to check the machine, and gently pressed the start button.
The washing machine made a low roar, the water started running, and everything was normal.
Kisaki Eri stood up straight, smiled slightly, and nodded with satisfaction: “Well done, faster than I expected.”
He turned around and faced Lu Ning, with his hands on his hips. The blush on his face had faded and he had regained some of his usual dignity.
“How much? I’ll give it to you now.”
Eri Kisaki picked up her wallet from the coffee table in the living room, opened the cash folder, and prepared to pay the repair bill.
The sunlight shone on her, outlining her elegant figure, as if the scene in the bedroom just now had never happened.
Lu Ning stood at the door of the laundry room, staring at Fei Yingli’s actions, but an incredibly bold idea popped up in his mind.
His eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible cunning.
Although he knew he shouldn’t do this, the scene just now lingered in his mind, like a fire burning his mind and blurring his rationality.
Lu Ning thought about it, mustered up his courage, took a step forward, and stared into Fei Yingli’s eyes: “No need for money… I have another request.”
Kisara was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him in confusion.
She closed her wallet, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a hint of inquiry: “What request?”
Lu Ning took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had made some kind of decision.
“I…I want to do that with you…”
Lu Ning lowered his voice even lower and uttered a few words: “Fuck it.”
These two words exploded like a bomb in the quiet laundry room, and the air froze instantly.
Kisaki Eri’s eyes suddenly widened and her mouth opened in surprise, as if she had heard something incredible.
Her cheeks flushed again, but this time it was not out of embarrassment, but a mixture of anger and shock.
Fei Yingli clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes darkened, as if she could pierce Lu Ning.
She bit her lip and suppressed her anger: “What did you say?!”
Kisaki Eri’s chest kept rising and falling, her eyes were burning with anger, and her whole body exuded a sharp aura.
Chapter 4: Dangerous Game! (Old Version)
Chapter 4: Dangerous Game!
The moment Lu Ning said it.
The air in the laundry room seemed frozen.
Eri Kisaki stood next to the washing machine, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide open as if they were about to spit fire.
She clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly, and pointed at Lu Ning, her chest heaving violently.
Lu Ning’s bold and outrageous request was like a heavy hammer, shattering her composure as a top lawyer.
Kisaki Eri’s eyes darkened, revealing a mixture of fear and anger, as if she was ready to tear the young man in front of her to pieces at any time.
Lu Ning stood at the door of the laundry room, holding a toolbox in his hand, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
He bit his lower lip, realizing that his words had completely infuriated Kisaki Eri.
Kisara took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She glanced at Lu Ning and spoke slowly, each word as sharp as a knife: “Do you know who I am?”
Hibiki Eri took a step forward, her eyes fixed on Lu Ning sharply, like a defendant in a court of trial, “I am Hibiki Eri, the undefeated queen of the Beika Town lawyer community.
Any irresponsible words may lead to you paying a legal price.”
Hibiki frowned slightly, her fingertips slid through the air, as if drawing an invisible boundary, “You’d better think carefully, every word you say next may make you regret it.”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, his mouth twitched, and he felt the oppression emanating from Fei Yingli.
The other party’s identity and aura made his back feel cold, but a crazier idea flashed through his mind.
Lu Ning looked around and confirmed that they were the only two people in the laundry room. He mustered up his courage and took out the digital camera from his personal space.
Raising the camera, the screen displayed the video just recorded – private scenes of Kisaki Eri in the bedroom.
“Look at this.”
Lu Ning shook the camera, stared into Hibiki’s eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, “If I post this online and let everyone in Beika Town see it, what do you think will happen?”
He lowered his eyes and pretended to flip through the screen casually. Every frame of the video was like a bomb, enough to destroy Kisaki Eri’s public image.
Kisaki Eri’s eyes suddenly widened and her mouth opened in surprise, as if she had been hit on the head.
Her cheeks flushed again and she crossed her arms over her chest, taking a slight step back.
She bit her lips and her eyes flickered, trying to hide her inner panic.
“You…you actually recorded it…”
Hibiki Eri clenched her fingers unconsciously, with a hint of fear mixed in with her anger.
She knew that if the video was leaked, it would not only ruin her career, but also make her lose face in front of her family and friends.
Seeing Fei Yingli’s reaction, Lu Ning became more confident.
He rubbed his hands, took a step forward, and stared into the other person’s eyes: “Just think about it, if your daughter Mao Lilan saw this, what would she think? She admires you so much, I guess she will collapse.”
Then, Lu Ning continued, “And Maori Kogoro, the drunk detective, will definitely lose more business when he sees his wife going out online.”
“Ma’am, you don’t want your family to find out about this video, do you?!”
Kisaragi’s chest heaved violently and her eyes darkened, as if she was forced into a desperate situation.
My mind was quickly calculating the consequences.
The innocent smile of Maori Ran and the rude laughter of Maori Kogoro flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t imagine her family’s reaction when they saw this video.
Kisaki Eri lowered her head and remained silent for a moment. The anger on her face was gradually replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
She turned her face away, avoiding Lu Ning’s gaze, and bit her lips, as if she had made some kind of compromise.
Seeing this, Lu Ning’s heart beat faster and his mind was burning.
He knew he had the upper hand, but he didn’t dare to relax completely.
Lu Ning thought for a moment, pointed at the washing machine next to him, and smiled what he thought was a gentle smile: “How about this, you put your head into the washing machine, like an ostrich, out of sight, out of mind, it will be fine in a while.”
To be more convincing.
Lu Ning raised his hand and added solemnly: “I promise, I was just talking nonsense just now. I just touched her and I will never do anything out of line.”
Kisaki Eri suddenly looked up and glared at him, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
She clenched her fists and her body stiffened, as if she was pushed to the edge of a cliff.
“You bastard…”
Having said that, her eyes swept over the camera in Lu Ning’s hand, thinking of the consequences of the video, and finally gritted her teeth and slowly walked towards the washing machine.
Kisaki Eri knelt on the ground, supporting herself on the edge of the washing machine with her hands. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly put her head into the drum of the washing machine.
Her cheeks flushed, and shame and anger made her whole body hot.
Lu Ning stood behind him, his eyes flickering and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He squatted down, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Kisaragi’s back, his movements cautious, as if testing her.
Kisaki Eri’s body trembled violently, and her hands clenched the edge of the washing machine, but she did not resist. She just lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was enduring a great humiliation.
Lu Ning’s fingers stayed on her back for a while, his movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
His heart was beating so fast that it almost exploded, and his mind was in a mess, feeling both excited and a little uneasy.
But soon, Lu Ning’s actions could no longer be restrained.
His hand slid towards Kisaki Eri’s waist, gradually increasing in strength, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his head and moved closer, his breathing became rapid, and his fingers began to explore restlessly.
Kisaki Eri’s body suddenly stiffened, and she gripped the edge of the washing machine tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Lu Ning’s hand had already crossed the line of “touching” and slid in a more extreme direction.

Chapter 5: The aftermath of the storm! (Old version)
Chapter 5: The aftermath of the storm!
“call……”
Kisaki Eri felt her whole body stiff, as if she was firmly bound by invisible pressure.
It took two and a half hours to repair the washing machine.
Eri Kisaki pursed her lips, trying hard to maintain the calm appearance of a professional lawyer.
But my heart is like the sea in a storm, surging with a fierce collision of anger and reason.
The threat of that “key evidence” was like an invisible shackle, forcing her to remain silent.
She didn’t dare look at Lu Ning any longer.
I even hope to erase this experience from my memory.
Lu Ning stood aside with a complicated look in his eyes.
He unexpectedly discovered that Hibiki Eri exhibited a rare quality under pressure – a self-control that was almost beyond ordinary people.
This discovery made him both surprised and uneasy, as if he had touched upon some secret that should not be pried into.
Kisaki Eri lowered her head and said nothing.
My cheeks are burning.
The shame came over me like a tide.
His fingers trembled slightly.
Force yourself not to think about these two humiliating hours.
Lu Ning stood aside.
Wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Eyes flickering.
It was as if he had not yet fully recovered from the frenzy just now.
Finally, everything returned to calm.
Kisaki Eri tidied up her messy clothes.
Avoid Lu Ning’s gaze.
He walked stiffly out of the laundry room and back into the living room.
Lu Ning stood there, rubbing his hands, his mind in a mess. He felt both satisfied and a little uneasy.
He knew that this crazy act had pushed his relationship with Kisaki Eri into an irreversible abyss.
No extra words.
Lu Ning carried the toolbox on his back.
Take a step forward.
He walked out of Kisaki Eri’s apartment without looking back.
The streets of Beika-cho were still bustling as usual, with aroma wafting from the ramen stand on the corner and people coming and going, seemingly having nothing to do with the ridiculous scene just now.
He stood downstairs of the apartment building, took out his mobile phone, opened the “Order Acceptance” APP, and clicked on the task completion.
A prompt popped up on the screen, with bold and eye-catching fonts: “Mission completed! Rewards have been issued: physical enhancement, maid cafe ownership, barista skills.”
Lu Ning stared at the screen, raised his little face, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
The next second, he felt a warm current surging from his body and his muscles tensed slightly, as if he was injected with endless energy.
I tried waving my arms, and my movements were as fast as the wind. My reaction, agility and explosive power were significantly improved.
He looked around, his eyes sweeping across the street signs, his eyesight clear enough to see the words a hundred meters away.
He clenched his fists, felt the power surging in his body, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, secretly exclaiming: This body strengthening is simply at the superhuman level!
At the same time, he gained more knowledge about barista skills in his mind: from espresso extraction to latte art techniques, he was proficient in everything.
And somehow he became the owner of a cafe – a maid cafe.
Lu Ning scratched his hair and smiled bitterly, thinking that this reward was too outrageous. Repairing a washing machine could actually lead to such a low point.
The next second, the figure of Kisaki Eri flashed through his mind.
I couldn’t help but smack my lips.
It’s really unforgettable.
On the other side, in Eri Kisaki’s apartment, the air in the living room was so quiet that it was almost frozen.
As the sun sets, the clock on the wall ticks, indicating dinner time.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Kissing Eri was startled. She straightened her clothes and walked quickly towards the entrance.
When I opened the door, I saw Mao Lilan standing at the door, carrying her schoolbag and with a familiar sunny smile on her face.
“Mom! I’m here. We agreed to have dinner together today!”
Mao Lilan waved her hand, walked into the living room, and threw her schoolbag casually on the sofa.
She turned around and stared at Hibiki Eri, raising her eyebrows, “You look a little tired today, do you have too many cases?”
Kisaki Eri forced a smile and turned her face away to hide the complex emotions in her eyes.
She walked to the kitchen, picked up her apron and tied it on: “It’s okay, I’m just a little busy, you sit down first, I’ll go cook.”
Having said that, my mind couldn’t help but recall the two hours in the laundry room.
Her cheeks flushed a pink, as if burned by some forbidden memory.
Kissing Eri bit her lip and forced herself to concentrate. She picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables, but her fingers were trembling slightly.
Ran Mao Li sat at the dining table, holding her chin, looking at her mother’s back.
He wrinkled his nose and felt that something was wrong with Hibari today, but he didn’t think much about it.
Mao Lilan snorted, flipped open the magazine on the table, and said casually: “Mom, I’ve missed your curry for a long time! I have to eat two big bowls today!”
Kisaki Eri turned around, holding the freshly cut vegetables, smiled slightly, and tried to look normal.
Pour the vegetables into the pot, the sizzling sound of the hot oil conceals the turmoil in her heart.
But Lu Ning’s figure, the digital camera, the video, and the humiliation in the washing machine flashed through her mind.
The critical hit and attack speed increase were extremely humiliating.
Like being trapped in some kind of nightmare from which there is no escape.
Soon after, the mother and daughter sat around the dining table. The aroma of curry filled the air. Mao Lilan ate with big mouthfuls, smiling like a child.
Kisaki Eri lowered her head and poked at the rice on the plate, the pink on her cheeks had not yet completely faded.
She glanced at Mao Lilan, and her heart felt both warm and painful, as if she was torn between the memory just now and the warmth in front of her.
Chapter 6 Mother and daughter talk! (Old version)
Chapter 6 Mother-daughter talk!
The dinner lights cast softly on the dining table, and the aroma of curry still permeated the air.
Mao Lilan ate the rice in the bowl with big mouthfuls, a satisfied smile on her face, and hummed a tune.
Kisaki Eri sat opposite, poking the vegetables on the plate lightly with the chopsticks in her hand, but her eyes were a little vague.
My thoughts uncontrollably returned to the two hours of humiliation in the afternoon. The scene in the laundry room was like an indelible haze, circling in my mind over and over again.
Lu Ning’s movements were swift and ruthless, and each attack was filled with suffocating aggression.
Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth and forced herself not to recall the past, but she found that her body’s memory was stronger than her will.
Her cheeks unconsciously flushed pink.
His fingers were shaking so much that his chopsticks almost slipped.
“Mom? What’s wrong with you?”
Mao Lilan’s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of doubt.
Kisaki Eri was shocked and raised her head, meeting Mouri Ran’s clear big eyes.
Mao Lilan tilted her head, put down her chopsticks, and looked at her mother carefully.
She had a keen intuition and had long noticed that something was wrong with Kisaki Eri today – her absent-minded look and the complex emotions that flashed across her eyes were not like the usual decisive “Queen of the Court”.
“It’s nothing, it’s just… there are a lot of cases, and I’m dizzy from being busy.”
Kisaki Eri forced a smile, trying to hide her inner panic. She lowered her head to pick up a piece of potato and pretended to chew it attentively, avoiding Mouri Ran’s inquiring gaze.
Mao Lilan wrinkled her nose, obviously not believing this perfunctory answer.
She held her chin and stared at Kisaki Eri’s face, as if trying to dig out something from her mother’s expression.
“Really? Mom, you’re acting weird today, and your face is red. Do you have a fever?”
As he said that, he reached out to touch Kisaki Eri’s forehead.
Hibiki Eri quickly dodged to the side, waved her hands, and smiled calmly, “Haha, Xiaolan, you think too much! I’m fine, it’s just that it was a little hot in the kitchen, and my face is red from the steam.”
She deliberately raised her voice, trying to make it sound relaxed and natural, “Eat quickly, the curry won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
Mao Lilan curled her lips. Although she still felt something was wrong, she didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
He picked up the chopsticks again, lowered his head and continued to deal with the curry in the bowl, muttering: “Okay…but mom, don’t be too tired in the future, your health is important!”
Kisaki Eri breathed a sigh of relief and nodded on the surface, but she felt like something was stabbed in her heart.
His eyes fell on the innocent smiling face of Mao Lilan, and the humiliation from the afternoon surged up again.
For Xiaolan, she chose to be patient, but this patience made her feel dirty.
Take a deep breath and bring your thoughts back to reality.
I can’t let Xiaolan see any clues and I have to play the role of a strong mother.
In order to change the subject and to distract herself from the unbearable memories, Hibiki put down her chopsticks and took the initiative to speak: “Xiaolan, how are you doing recently? Is there anything new at school?”
When Mao Lilan heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
He put down the bowl and began to tell the story excitedly: “Mom, you don’t know, a while ago, Shinichi and I went to the amusement park and rode that super exciting roller coaster! It was so scary that my heart almost jumped out of my chest!”
She gestured with her hands, her tone exaggerated, her face flushed with excitement, “But Shinichi, on the surface, pretends to be very calm, but in fact, I see that his hands are clenched tightly, haha!”
As Hibari listened, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Mao Lilan’s vitality always makes her forget her troubles temporarily.
Hibiki Eri nodded slightly and encouraged: “It sounds exciting, what happened next?”
“Later…”
Mao Lilan paused, her tone becoming a little depressed, “Actually, something unexpected happened that day. A case happened in the amusement park, and Shinichi was busy solving the case, so I had to wait alone for a long time.”
She pouted, as if complaining, but soon laughed again, “But he looks really handsome when he solves cases. Mom, do you think he was born to be a detective?”
Kisaki Eri smiled slightly, but a complicated emotion arose in her heart.
Kudo Shinichi, the boy who is so smart that it gives people a headache, seems to be getting deeper and deeper in his relationship with Xiaolan.
She was happy about her daughter’s happiness, but also a little worried – after all, the life of a detective is always accompanied by danger.
“Shinichi is indeed excellent.”
Kisaki Eri said softly, then changed the subject, “What about you? What have you been busy with recently? Besides accompanying Shinichi to solve cases everywhere.”
Mao Lilan scratched her head and chuckled: “It’s nothing, just something about school. Oh, and my dad got into trouble again recently!”
“He went to gamble on horses a few days ago and lost another 500,000 yen! 500,000 yen, mom, how many meals of curry can we afford with that?”
When Kiyori heard this, her brows immediately frowned.
The unreliable appearance of Kogoro Maori appeared in her mind, which immediately made her angry.
“This worthless guy!”
Hibiki Eri couldn’t help but slam the table, her voice full of anger, “All you do all day is drink and gamble on horses, you have no sense of responsibility at all!”
Mao Lilan stuck out her tongue, obviously she was used to her mother’s complaints about her father.
“So I plan to take advantage of my free time recently to find a part-time job to earn some money to support the family. My dad is in such a bad condition that I can’t rely on him anymore.”
Kisaki Eri was stunned for a moment, looking at the serious little face of Mouri Ran, she felt both moved and distressed.
The daughter is only in her teens, but she has already started to worry about the family’s financial problems, and all this is because of the incompetent man, Kogoro Mori.
Fei Yingli gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said softly: “Xiaolan, you are still young, you don’t have to work so hard, your mother will take care of the housework, just study with peace of mind.”
“It’s okay, Mom!”
Mao Lilan waved her hand and smiled brightly, “I’m grown up now, and working part-time can also help me train myself! Besides, I want to save some money to buy Shinichi a birthday present!”
When Kisaki Eri looked at Ran Mouri’s optimistic expression, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
How she wished she could give her daughter a carefree life, instead of letting Xiaolan learn to take responsibility so early.
Ran Mouri’s words completely ignited Kisaki Eri’s thoughts about Kogoro Mouri.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so she simply put down her chopsticks and began a massive “remote attack” against her disappointing husband.
“That bastard Maori Kogoro! He just wants to cause trouble all day long. He fed the dog with 500,000 yen.”
Hibiki Eri’s voice became louder and louder, her tone full of contempt and anger, “Why did I fall for a man like this in the first place? He doesn’t work properly, he’s idle, he can’t even support a family! Xiaolan is so sensible, but he’s causing trouble for the family all day long!”
Mao Lilan shrank her neck and muttered softly: “Mom, don’t be angry, Dad…he didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Not on purpose?!”
Kisaki Eri glared at Mao Li Ran, her chest heaving with anger, “He’s hopeless! If he had half the brains of Shinichi, he wouldn’t be in this state!”
As he was talking, a picture that shouldn’t appear suddenly flashed through his mind – Lu Ning in the laundry room in the afternoon.
The stormy movements, the undisguised aggression, and his fanatical eyes.
Kisaki Eri’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her cheeks unconsciously blushed again.
She bit her lip, trying to drive the image out of her mind, but the memory of her body was like a traitor, so clear that it was shameful.
Lu Ning’s bravery and Maori Kogoro’s cowardice formed a sharp contrast.
There was a huge difference between Kogoro Maori’s drunken and unmotivated appearance and Lu Ning’s breathtaking explosive power.
Kisaki Eri’s thoughts slid uncontrollably into a more dangerous abyss.
Recalling Lu Ning’s uncontrollable impulse, the pace was so fast that she could hardly breathe.
In comparison, all Kogoro Maori gave her over the years was endless disappointment and indifference.
She even began to wonder if she was really old, which was why she had such complicated feelings about the aggressiveness of such a strange man.
“Mom? Why are you daydreaming again?”
Ran Mouri’s voice brought Eri Kisaki back to reality again.
Kisaki Eri suddenly came to her senses and found herself stunned at the dining table, with the chopsticks in her hand hanging in the air.
She quickly lowered her head to cover it up, pretending to be calm and said, “No, nothing, I just… thought about some cases.”
Mao Lilan looked at her suspiciously, but didn’t ask any more questions. She just lowered her head and continued eating.
However, Kisaki Eri felt her heart beating like a drum and her cheeks were so hot that they seemed to be smoking.
She cursed herself inwardly, why would she think about such unbearable things!
That man Lu Ning is simply a shame in her life. How can she compare him with Maori Kogoro!
Kisaki Eri forced herself to calm down, picked up the water cup and took a big sip, trying to use the cool liquid to suppress the restlessness in her heart.
She glanced at Mao Lilan and saw that her daughter was eating happily with her head down and didn’t notice anything unusual about her. She breathed a sigh of relief.
But the shame in her heart surged like a tide, overwhelming all her defenses.
Those two hours in the afternoon seemed like a nightmare, yet so real that there was no escape.
Every movement of Lu Ning was like a brand engraved on her body, making her angry and powerless.
The threat of the video forced her to surrender, but this surrender made her feel that she had betrayed Xiaolan and herself.
Why her?
Why would a woman like her who was always successful in court be forced into such a situation by a despicable man?
She hated Lu Ning, hated his recklessness, and hated him for turning her into a woman who was even a stranger to himself.
But what made Fei Yingli even more embarrassed and annoyed was that at that moment just now, she actually made some kind of taboo comparison about Lu Ning’s “bravery”.
The thought made her feel dirty, as if her soul was polluted.
“Mom, are you really okay?”
Mao Lilan’s voice sounded again, with a bit of worry, “You are really weird today. You keep distracting yourself.”
Hibiki forced a smile and regained her composure: “It’s okay, Xiaolan, Mom is just a little tired, you should eat quickly, and then we can watch a movie together and relax.”
Mao Lilan nodded and smiled brightly: “Okay! Then I’ll choose a comedy, mom, you will definitely like it!”
Looking at her daughter’s smiling face, Kisaki Eri felt mixed emotions.
No matter what happens, I must stay strong for Xiaolan.
The humiliation of the afternoon can only be buried deep in my heart, becoming a secret that can never be touched.
The aroma of curry still wafted through the air, and the clock in the living room ticked.
As the night deepened, the hustle and bustle of Beika Town was drowned out by the lights outside the window.
Kisaki Eri lowered her head and took a bite of food, forcing herself to swallow all the shame and anger.
For Xiaolan, everything is worth it.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 7: A Subtle Confrontation at the Maid Cafe! (Old Version)
Chapter 7: A Subtle Confrontation at the Maid Cafe!
It was a sunny afternoon in Beika-cho, the streets were bustling with people, and the aroma wafted from the ramen stand on the corner.
Mao Lilan was carrying her schoolbag and walking briskly on the way home, humming a tune while calculating the family expenses in her mind.
The anger of her mother Eri Kisaki towards her father Kogoro Mori last night is still vivid in her mind, especially the sentence “500,000 yen is enough to buy so many meals of curry”, which makes Ran Mori determined to find a part-time job to reduce the burden on the family.
She lowered her head and rummaged through her wallet, and frowned at the few bills inside.
Kogoro Mori recently lost a lot of money in horse racing, and his family’s financial situation is becoming increasingly tight.
Mao Lilan sighed and thought to herself: Dad is really unreliable, I have to find a way out myself.
Just then, her attention was attracted by a newly renovated building on the street.
A bright recruitment poster was posted on the glass window, with pink fonts that were eye-catching and cute: “A new maid cafe is opening! We are hiring part-time waiters, with an hourly wage of 1,500 yen. Young and energetic people are welcome to join us!”
Next to it is a picture of a cartoon girl in a maid outfit, smiling sweetly.
Mao Lilan stopped and widened her eyes.
1500 yen an hour?
She quickly did the math in her mind: the average hourly wage in the service industry in Beika-cho is around 1,000 yen, and the salary in this cafe is a full half higher than the market price!
If you work part-time for a few hours a week, you can save a considerable amount of money in a month, enough to supplement the family income and buy Kudo Shinichi a decent birthday present.
The image of Kogoro Mori’s drunken appearance flashed through his mind, and I also remembered Eri Kisaki’s tired but forced strong smile last night.
Mao Lilan clenched her fists and made up her mind: Just give it a try! She pushed open the door of the cafe, and the crisp sound of bells rang out, and she was greeted by a dreamy space of pink and white.
The interior of the store is decorated like a fairy tale world, with lace hanging on the walls, tables and chairs in exquisite European style, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of coffee and cake.
Mao Lilan looked around, her heart beating faster. She felt both curious and a little nervous.
Standing behind the counter was a young man with a tall figure, wearing a simple black shirt and a gentle smile on his face.
He raised his head and his eyes met Mao Lilan’s.
“Welcome! Are you here to eat or…?”
Lu Ning paused, as if he had guessed something, “Oh, you came here after seeing the recruitment poster, right?”
Mao Lilan nodded, and mustered up the courage to say, “Yes, I would like to apply for a part-time waiter position.”
She straightened her back and tried to look confident.
Lu Ning looked her up and down, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and handed her an application form.
“My name is Lu Ning, and I’m the owner of this store. Fill this out and let’s talk.”
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, then took the form and filled it out carefully.
Lu Ning stood aside, his eyes lingering on her for a few seconds, as if he was quite satisfied with her energy and vigor.
After filling out the form, Lu Ning took Mao Lilan to the backstage dressing room and briefly introduced the job content: greeting guests, taking orders, serving food, and also coordinating with the store’s maid theme and shouting some specific service slogans.
Mao Lilan listened very carefully and felt that these were not difficult. The only thing that made her hesitate was the last requirement mentioned by Lu Ning – she must wear a maid outfit.
“Maid costumes are the specialty of the store, and customers love this atmosphere.”
Lu Ning said, taking a black and white maid outfit from the hanger. The skirt was short and fluffy, matched with a lace headdress and black over-the-knee socks. “You have a good figure, it should be suitable for you.”
Mao Lilan looked at the clothes and her cheeks turned slightly hot.
The skirt was much shorter than her usual short skirts, and the design was deliberately cute and seductive, completely different from her usual refreshing style.
She bit her lip, a hint of hesitation flashing through her mind: Would it be too embarrassing to walk around the store dressed like this?
What if someone familiar saw it, like Shinichi…
But on second thought, the hourly wage of 1,500 yen is really tempting.
The family is short of money now, and her mother works so hard, we can’t let Hibari Eri bear all the pressure alone.
Mao Lilan took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and nodded to Lu Ning: “Okay, I’ll try.”
Lu Ning smiled and handed her the clothes: “The changing room is over there, come out and let me see you after you change.”
His tone was relaxed, yet it carried a subtle expectation.
Ran Mouri walked into the dressing room, changed into a maid outfit, and stood in front of the mirror, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
The self in the mirror has completely changed: the black skirt outlines the slender waist, the white lace embellishment adds a bit of cuteness, and the black over-the-knee socks wrap around the slender legs, making her look youthful and energetic.
She tried to turn around, with her skirt slightly lifted up, like a princess in a fairy tale, but with a hint of playfulness that made people’s heart beat.
Taking a deep breath, Mao Lilan pushed open the door of the locker room and walked out.
Lu Ning was leaning on the counter. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he whistled: “Wow, perfect! Miss Maori, you are tailor-made for this dress!”
Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed by the compliment. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and whispered, “Really… Is it appropriate? Is it too exaggerated?”
She looked up, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
Lu Ning waved his hand and said sincerely: “It’s not an exaggeration at all! Your temperament is very suitable, youthful and sunny, the guests will definitely like it.”
He paused, then added, “Don’t worry, the store is operating legally, just focus on your work.”
Mao Lilan nodded, and the tension in her heart eased a little.
It was just a job, and she had to adapt for the sake of her family.
Lu Ning clapped his hands and announced that she had passed the interview and would be able to officially start work tomorrow.
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, feeling that she was one step closer to her goal.
The next day, Mao Lilan officially started working part-time in the maid cafe.
She changed into a maid outfit and stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her headdress, trying to get used to the outfit.
Having practiced karate for many years, she has a well-proportioned and powerful figure. The maid outfit outlines her curves, and the black over-the-knee socks make her legs look slender and elegant.
The hem of her skirt swayed gently as she moved, seeming to add a bit of agility to her.
Push open the door of the dressing room and walk into the store.
The cafe has already opened, customers are seated in groups of three or four, and the air is filled with the aroma of coffee.
Mao Lilan greeted the first table of guests with a smile according to the training content: “Welcome back, host! How can I serve you?”
The voice is clear and energetic, with the youthful vigor unique to a young girl.
The guests looked up one after another, their gazes lingered on her for a few seconds, and they smiled in appreciation.
Although Mao Lilan was a little shy, she tried to remain professional, carefully writing down the orders and moving back and forth between the tables and chairs with a tray.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes always following Mao Lilan’s figure.
Every time she turned around, her skirt would rise slightly, and her black over-the-knee socks formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin, exuding a youthful vibe.
The corners of Lu Ning’s mouth rose slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with his own vision.
During a break at work, Mao Lilan brought a cup of freshly made latte to a table of guests with quick and skillful movements.
The customer smiled and praised her: “Little sister, your maid outfit is so beautiful, it seems that the whole store is lit up!”
Mao Lilan’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she shyly replied “thank you”, then hurried back to the counter and lowered her head to organize the tray.
Lu Ning walked over, leaned on the counter, and said with a smile: “Miss Mao Li, you did a good job! Look at your outfit, you are so youthful and beautiful.”
His tone was somewhat teasing, but his eyes showed undisguised admiration, “I dare say that you are definitely the most dazzling maid in the store!”
Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed by the compliment and waved her hand: “Boss Lu, don’t say that, I’m just here to work.”
Mao Lilan lowered her head to tidy up the cups on the table, trying to hide the blush on her face.
Lu Ning’s praise made her feel warm inside, but also mixed with a hint of inexplicable uneasiness.
Lu Ning smiled and didn’t say anything else, but his gaze stayed on her for a few more seconds.
Ran Mouri’s figure is displayed to the fullest in the maid outfit. The combination of youth and strength makes her like a blooming flower, attracting the attention of everyone in the store.
Lu Ning nodded secretly and thought: This girl is indeed a treasure.
As the busy business hours gradually passed, the flow of customers decreased and the cafe became much quieter.
Mao Lilan finally had a chance to catch her breath. She stood behind the counter and wiped the cups, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Although the maid outfit looked good, she was not used to the short skirt and over-the-knee socks. She always felt the hem of her skirt shaking when she walked, as if someone was staring at her at any time.
I secretly glanced at Lu Ning and found that he was leaning against the counter, his eyes seemed to linger on me.
Mao Lilan frowned, and an indescribable feeling arose in her heart.
Putting down the cup, she mustered up the courage to walk over, looked directly into Lu Ning’s eyes, and asked, “Boss Lu, were you looking at my butt just now?”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and nodded without disguising: “Of course I saw it! Miss Maori, you look so beautiful in your maid outfit. If I don’t see it, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
He spread his hands, speaking frankly as if it was a matter of course, “Beauty is to be appreciated! Your legs and figure are simply the signature of this store!”
Mao Lilan originally thought that Lu Ning would deny it, or at least find an excuse to cover it up, but she didn’t expect him to admit it so bluntly.
She opened her eyes wide, and was a little confused for a moment, as if a punch that was ready to strike had hit cotton, with no place to vent the force.
Mao Lilan’s cheeks turned red instantly, and she felt itchy in her heart. She was a little annoyed, but also had an indescribable complex emotion.
“You…how can you speak so directly!”
Mao Lilan frowned, put her hands on her hips, and tried to make herself look serious. “Boss Lu, I’m here to work, not to be teased by you!”
Lu Ning laughed and waved his hand: “Okay, okay, I know you work hard, but it’s human nature to appreciate beautiful things! Don’t worry, I have absolutely no other intentions.”
“Besides, you’re so outstanding. If I really have an idea, I have to queue up first, right?”
Mao Lilan felt even more embarrassed by his half-serious and half-false teasing.
She bit her lip, wanting to retort but not knowing where to start.
Lu Ning’s frankness caught her off guard, as if it broke her expected way of dealing with the situation.
Mao Lilan snorted, turned around and continued to wipe the cup, muttering: “Really, smooth talker…”
Lu Ning looked at her back and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Without saying anything else, he just picked up a rag and wiped the counter slowly.
The light from the cafe softly shone on Mao Lilan, and the hem of her maid outfit swayed gently with her movements, like a flowing painting.
Mao Lilan lowered her head and wiped the cup, but her heart beat faster.
She told herself that Lu Ning was just an ordinary boss and what he said just now was just a joke.
But for some reason, his gaze and the words “Beauty is to be appreciated” lingered in her mind, causing ripples in her heart.
Mao Lilan wrinkled her nose and forced herself to concentrate on her work, but found that her fingers unconsciously clenched the rag.
The bell of the cafe rang again, and a new wave of customers walked in.
Mao Lilan took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and stepped forward: “Welcome back, Master!”
Her smile was still bright and sunny, as if the incident just now had never happened.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, his eyes following her figure, the smile on his lips becoming deeper and deeper.
The afternoon in Beika-cho is still bustling, and the sweet fragrance and laughter in the coffee shop are intertwined, as if they are isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world and become two different worlds.
Chapter 8 New clerk! (Old version)
Chapter 8 New clerk!
Inside the cafe.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, holding a glass of freshly brewed espresso in his hand, and glanced at the interior of the store.
Walls decorated with pink lace, exquisite European tables and chairs, the aroma of coffee in the air, everything is in order.
Since Mao Lilan joined, the cafe’s business has become more and more prosperous, with customers coming in an endless stream and turnover increasing steadily.
However, Lu Ning began to feel a little tired – as the boss, he not only had to manage the store affairs, but also personally train employees and even occasionally act as a barista. He was very busy.
He took a sip of coffee and thought to himself: It’s time to hire a few more employees.
With more manpower, things will be more relaxed and you can truly be a hands-off boss, counting money leisurely.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but grin, and the image of himself lying in the office drinking coffee appeared in his mind.
Just then, the bell at the door rang crisply, breaking his reverie.
Lu Ning looked up and saw two girls walking in.
The first girl is petite and cute, with a round face and big, bright eyes, like a cute character from a comic book.
She was wearing a simple white shirt and a blue pleated skirt, carrying a backpack, walking briskly with a sweet smile on her face.
The second girl was completely different. She was tall and thin, with neat short hair, heroic features, and a neutral and handsome temperament.
Her chest was as flat as an airport. She was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. Her eyes were sharp, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of playfulness.
“Good morning! Excuse me…are you still hiring here?”
The petite girl spoke first, her voice sweet and full of anticipation.
She took out a recruitment poster from her bag, the same one posted at the entrance of the cafe.
A heroic girl stood beside him, her hands in her pockets, and her eyes swept around the store, as if assessing the environment.
Lu Ning put down his coffee cup and walked forward with a professional smile on his face.
“Of course! Welcome, both of you. I’m Lu Ning, the owner of this store.”
He handed them two application forms and said, “Fill out the basic information first, and then we can talk.”
Lu Ning looked at the two of them, feeling a little curious.
The two girls have very different temperaments, but both have a unique presence, especially the petite girl. I always feel that she looks familiar, like a character I have seen somewhere.
The petite girl took the form and introduced herself: “My name is Arashiyama Ayutori, I’m a sophomore in high school, and I want to find a part-time job to train myself!”
Her smile is like a blooming sunflower, full of energy.
The heroic girl leaned casually on the counter, looked up while filling out the form and said, “Kon Futaba, I’m also a sophomore. I heard the hourly wage here is good, so I came to take a look.”
Lu Ning nodded and motioned for them to sit down.
I glanced at the form and confirmed their names: Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba.
The two names rolled around in his mind, especially Arashiyama Ayutori, who always felt like a flash of lightning, evoking some vague memories.
He remained calm and continued to ask a few routine questions, such as whether I had experience in the service industry and the time period I could work.
Arashiyama Ayutori answered enthusiastically and in detail, while Kon Futaba was brief and to the point, with a casual yet polite attitude.
Halfway through the interview, Lu Ning’s thoughts began to drift away.
The name Arashiyama Ayutori finally lit a lamp in his mind.
He suddenly remembered a comic he had read before – “Maid Cafe”, a light comedy set in a maid cafe, in which the heroine was a cute girl named Arashiyama Ayutori!
The image of that character is almost exactly the same as the girl in front of her: petite figure, sweet smile, a temperament that seems to be born for maid outfit, and even the expression when speaking is exactly the same.
Lu Ning’s heartbeat quickened and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously.
Kon Futaba next to him raised her eyebrows, as if she noticed something strange about Lu Ning, but said nothing.
Lu Ning’s mind was working rapidly.
How could a comic character appear in the world of “Detective Conan”?
Ever since he traveled to this world and obtained the “order-taking” APP and various strange rewards, he has accepted the setting that he is in the Conan world.
But now, the appearance of Arashiyama Ayutori completely overturned his cognition.
Does this mean that the world he lives in is not just Conan’s universe, but a comprehensive anime world that integrates multiple comic elements?
The possibility that the characters in “Maid Cafe Lu Ning” exist in the same time and space as Mao Li Ran and Kisaki Eri in “Detective Conan” shocked and excited him.
No matter what the structure of this world is, he is now the owner of a maid cafe, and his first priority is to run the shop well.
The appearance of Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba might be just a coincidence, or another joke played on him by the “system”.
He glanced at the phone on the table and saw the icon of the “Order Taking” APP still displayed on the screen, as if silently reminding him that the world was far more complicated than he had imagined.
Lu Ning rubbed his temples and decided to put these doubts in his heart for the time being.
He looked at the two girls and gave a gentle smile.
“You all performed well. I think you can give it a try. Welcome to join the maid cafe!”
He stood up and handed them two employment contracts. “Sign these and you can come to work tomorrow. However, our store has a uniform, so you have to change into maid outfits. Is that okay with you?”
Arashiyama Ayutori’s eyes lit up, he clasped his hands together, and nodded excitedly: “No problem! Maid costumes are super cute, I’ve wanted to try them for a long time!”
Kon Futaba shrugged, with a teasing smile on her face: “As long as the hourly wage is right, you can wear anything.”
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God that both of them were easy to talk to.
He took them to the dressing room and pointed to the maid outfits on the hanger.
“This is the uniform. After you change, come out and let me see if it fits you.”
A few minutes later, Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba walked out of the locker room. Their maid outfits made Lu Ning’s eyes light up.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s outfit was perfect: the black and white maid skirt outlined her petite figure, and the hem of the skirt was fluffy and swayed slightly, like a blooming flower.
A white lace headdress embellishes her soft hair, and black over-the-knee socks wrap around her slender legs, adding a touch of playfulness.
She turned around, her skirt lifted up, with a shy smile on her face, and she looked like a cute idol who jumped directly from the second dimension into reality.
Lu Ning nodded secretly and thought: She is worthy of being the heroine in the comics. Her temperament is born for maid outfit.
Kon Futaba’s style is completely different.
Although her maid outfit is the same style, it looks more heroic when worn.
The short skirt and over-the-knee socks outline her slender legs, with strong and smooth lines, as powerful as an athlete.
His chest is flat, lacking some of the feminine beauty, but gaining a unique handsomeness.
The white lace headdress seemed a little out of place among her short hair, but she didn’t care. She put her hands in her pockets, stood casually, and a faint smile hung on the corners of her mouth.
Lu Ning stared at her, and a word flashed through his mind: heroic face.
This look is like a wonderful collision of a maid outfit and the protagonist of a boys’ comic, which has a unique flavor.
Lu Ning leaned on the counter, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.
The cute charm of Arashiyama Ayutori and the heroic demeanor of Kon Futaba form a sharp contrast, but they coexist harmoniously under the unified style of maid outfits.
He couldn’t help but whistled and said with a smile, “You two are really different in your own way! Buniao, you look like you walked out of a comic book, so sweet that people can’t take their eyes away.
Futaba, your style is cool and sassy, ​​I think you can attract a lot of customers who like handsome styles.”
Arashiyama Ayutori’s cheeks blushed slightly. She lowered her head and tugged at the hem of her skirt, and whispered shyly, “Thank you for the compliment, boss… I’m still a little uncomfortable with it.”
She raised her head, her eyes sparkling, as if she was looking forward to this job.
Kon Futaba raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, and responded jokingly: “Boss, but I’m not here to be a vase. I am absolutely serious about my work.”
Lu Ning laughed and waved his hand to signal them to relax.
“Don’t worry, the most important thing in the store is work attitude. You two have such unique temperaments, you will definitely make the cafe more lively.”
Lu Ning handed them an employee manual and explained the service procedures and precautions in detail.
Arashiyama Ayutori flipped through the book carefully, nodding occasionally, as if he had already started planning his work.
Kon Futaba casually flipped through a few pages, her eyes focused more on the decoration inside the store, as if she was thinking about the fun of this job.
After the training, Lu Ning announced that they would officially start work tomorrow.
Arashiyama Ayutori bowed happily and said with a smile: “Thank you boss for giving me this opportunity! I will work hard!”
Kon Futaba waved lazily: “See you tomorrow, 1500 yen, don’t let me down.”
The two changed back into casual clothes, carried their bags and left the cafe. The bell at the door rang again, leaving behind a crisp echo.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, following their backs with his eyes, but even greater doubts were churning in his mind.
The appearance of Arashiyama Ayutori made him begin to doubt the nature of this world.
Traveling to the universe of “Detective Conan” is bizarre enough, and now a comic character has appeared. What is going on?
Is it the system that is playing tricks behind the scenes, or is the world itself a hodgepodge?
He took out his mobile phone and opened the “Order Acceptance” APP, but there was still only a record of the task being completed on the screen, without any clues.
Lu Ning rubbed his hair and smiled bitterly.
Never mind, whether it is the world of Conan or the world of anime, he is now the owner of a maid cafe and he has to live his life.
The addition of Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba may make the cafe more interesting, but may also bring more unexpected troubles.
Glancing at the racks of maid costumes in the store, the figures of Mouri Ran, Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba flashed through her mind, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Chapter 9 Mission! (Old Version)
Chapter 9 Mission!
In the afternoon, the maid cafe was as busy as ever.
The pink lace-decorated walls glow softly under the light, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of coffee and cake.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, holding a rag in his hand, wiping the coffee machine slowly and methodically.
His eyes occasionally swept across the store. Mouri Ran, Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba were busy greeting customers. The three figures in distinctive maid outfits shuttled between the tables and chairs, attracting the attention of many customers.
Since recruiting new employees, Lu Ning’s burden has been reduced a lot. He even began to enjoy the feeling of being a “hands-off boss” and occasionally he can take a break to drink a latte that he made himself.
Just as he was immersed in the leisurely atmosphere, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and made a slight buzzing sound.
Lu Ning frowned and took out his mobile phone. On the screen was a push notification from the “Order Taking” APP.
When I clicked on it, a new task popped up on the interface, with bold and eye-catching font:
Mission: Go to intersection 69, 96th Street, Beihua Town. Time: 8 o’clock tonight.
Mission: Prevent an impending violent conflict.
Reward: Unknown
Lu Ning stared at the screen, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Stop violent conflict?
This task sounds like a police job, so how could it fall on the shoulders of a cafe owner like him?
I continued to scroll the screen, trying to find more details, but the APP was as concise as ever, only showing the time, location and task objectives, and even the specific content of the reward was hidden.
Rubbing his temple, Lu Ning’s mind flashed back to his previous experiences – repairing the washing machine, getting the digital camera, threatening Kissing Eri. All of these tasks had a “cult” flavor. How could they be serious at all?
Lu Ning leaned on the counter, his eyes fell on Mao Lilan who was busy in the distance, but his mind couldn’t help but recall the humiliating appearance of Kisaki Eri in the laundry room.
The digital camera reward still makes him feel satisfied and uneasy, as if a time bomb has been buried in his heart.
Now that the APP suddenly released such a “justice-filled” task, Lu Ning really couldn’t figure out its routine.
He muttered, “What on earth does this crappy app want me to do?”
Arashiyama Ayutori passed by with a plate of cakes. Noticing Lu Ning’s expression, he tilted his head and asked, “Boss, why do you look so miserable? Business is so good, aren’t you happy?”
She smiled sweetly, like a cute girl in a comic book, with sparkling eyes.
Lu Ning waved his hand and forced a smile: “It’s okay, it’s just that there are too many mobile phone ads, which are annoying.”
He didn’t want the clerk to notice that something was wrong, so he quickly put the phone back in his pocket.
Arashiyama Ayutori nodded and skipped off to greet the guests.
But Lu Ning just couldn’t calm down.
Staring at the cup of coffee on the counter, my thoughts were churning.
This “order-taking” APP has become his biggest golden finger since he crossed over to the Conan world. Although the rewards are outrageous, he benefits a lot every time.
But this time, the mission required him to do good deeds in Beika Town, a “criminal paradise”, which really made him feel scared.
No matter how much you complain, you still have to do your job.
After the afternoon peak, the cafe gradually became quiet.
Lu Ning found an excuse, slipped into the lounge backstage, reopened the app, and studied the task details over and over again.
The intersection of No. 69, Beika-cho 96 Street, is located in a busy area in the city center. There are many bars and entertainment venues around it. There are large crowds of people at night, and it is indeed a place where conflicts are prone to occur.
He tried to recall the map, and the neon lights and bustling street scenes near the intersection emerged in his mind.
Lu Ning leaned back in his chair, holding his head in his hands, and couldn’t help complaining: “What’s wrong with this app? A few days ago, it asked me to do something immoral, and now it suddenly asks me to be a superhero? If I do good things in Beika Town, I will be exhausted or angry to death!”
He thought of the endless cases in Conan’s world: explosions, kidnappings, murders, which one was not thrilling?
For an ordinary person to try to stop a violent conflict is simply playing with his life.
I opened the task record of the APP and looked through the previous tasks.
The experience of repairing the washing machine and the digital camera he received as a reward gave him the upper hand over Eri Kisaki.
What is this “unknown reward”?
Will it be more exaggerated than physical enhancement and cafe ownership?
No matter how much he complained, Lu Ning knew very well that the APP’s tasks could not be refused.
He still doesn’t know the logic behind this system, but every time he completes a task, the reward always greatly increases his strength.
From physical enhancement to barista skills, and then to inexplicably becoming the owner of a maid cafe, these “benefits” have allowed him to gain a foothold in Beika Town.
Lu Ning rubbed his face and made up his mind: No matter how outrageous the task was, he had to go at 8 o’clock in the evening.
He stood up, stretched, and glanced at the mirror in the lounge.
The person in the mirror had a tall and straight figure, his muscles were more solid than before he traveled through time, and his eyes were sharper.
He clenched his fists, feeling the power surging in his body. The physical enhancement reward from that mission made his reaction, agility, and explosive power far beyond that of ordinary people.
Perhaps, with this ability, it is not too difficult to prevent a conflict.
Lu Ning returned to the front desk and continued working as if nothing had happened.
Mao Lilan walked over with a tray and asked with a smile: “Boss, are you busy this afternoon? Can I stay a little longer?”
Lu Ning waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed: “No, you have done a good job, go back and rest early.”
He didn’t want anyone to find out about his plan, especially Ran Mouri – this girl was too perceptive and would probably ask questions if she found any flaws.
Time passed, the sun set, and the cafe was coming to an end.
After counting the bills, Lu Ning closed the store early and sat alone behind the counter waiting for the night to come.
I took out my cell phone and the time on the screen showed 7:30.
I grabbed my coat, locked the door, and headed toward Beika-cho 96 Street.
As night falls, the streets of Beika-cho light up with colorful neon lights and the hustle and bustle of the city rises and falls.
The intersection of 96th Street and No. 69th Road is located in a bustling commercial district, surrounded by bars, street vendors shouting, and a constant stream of pedestrians.
Lu Ning stood under a tree at the intersection, his hands in his pockets, looking around vigilantly.
The time displayed on the phone was exactly 8 o’clock, and the task interface of the “Order Taking” APP still had not been updated, with only the prompt “Prevent violent conflicts” left.
Lu Ning frowned and muttered to himself: Isn’t this mission too general? Where is the conflict? Who is involved?
You have to give some clues!
Look around, trying to spot anything unusual.
The intersection was bustling with people, including white-collar workers getting off work, students having a party, and tourists in twos and threes. Everything seemed normal.
Just then, his sight caught a sneaky figure.
He was a young man wearing a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap with the brim pulled down so low that it almost covered half of his face.
The man was leaning against a telephone pole on the side of the road, holding a folding knife in his hand, the blade flashing coldly under the street light.
His eyes wandered, and he glanced at the intersection from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Lu Ning’s heartbeat quickened slightly and his body instinctively tensed up.
He quietly moved aside, hid in the shadow of the roadside stall, and observed quietly.
The man’s behavior was obviously abnormal, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Lu Ning clenched his fists and quickly analyzed in his mind: This guy should be one of the initiators of the conflict, and the APP’s mission is most likely related to this person.
But the opponent has a knife. Although his body has been strengthened, he still has to be cautious when fighting against cold weapons with his bare hands.
Just as he was about to get closer and look for an opportunity to subdue the other person, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure not far away.
The man was tall and wore a dark windbreaker. His steps were steady and graceful, and his black high heels made crisp sounds on the ground.
The halo of the street lamp shone on her, outlining a familiar silhouette – Kisaki Eri!
Lu Ning’s eyes widened and he almost lost his balance.
How come Hibiki Eri is here?
Shouldn’t she be busy with cases at the office or at home with Mao Lilan?
At this moment, Kisaki Eri looked solemn, with a furrowed brow and a briefcase in her hand, as if she had just left an important meeting.
Lu Ning’s mind was in a mess.
The appearance of Kisaki Eri made him smell something unusual.
Thinking back to what happened in the laundry room, Hibiki Eri’s humiliated expression is still vivid in her mind.
The threat of that video completely put her under his control.
But now, the other party appeared at this intersection where a conflict was about to occur. Was it a coincidence, or was there something else going on?
Lu Ning glanced at the man with the knife and found that his eyes were also on Fei Yingli.
The man’s fingers tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had locked onto a target.
Lu Ning’s heart sank suddenly, and a thought flashed through his mind: Kisaragi might be the target of this conflict!
He didn’t know why Hibari Eri was involved in such danger, but the mission of the “Order Taking” APP was to prevent conflicts and she must not be allowed to get into trouble.
Lu Ning took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and prepared to act.
His eyes moved back and forth between Kisaki Eri and the man with the knife, and he quickly made a plan in his mind.
Kisaki Eri was getting closer and closer, only a dozen meters away from the entrance of the street, and the man with a knife had already walked out from behind the electric pole and was slowly approaching her.
The hustle and bustle at the intersection covered up everything, as if a storm was about to break out in an unnoticed corner.
Lu Ning clenched his fists, the power in his body stirring.
He knew that the next few minutes would determine the success or failure of this mission.
Chapter 10: Meet Eri Kisaki again! (Old version)
Chapter 10: Meeting Eri Kisaki again!
The night was dark at the intersection of No. 69, Beika-cho 96 Street. The neon lights flickered on the street, covering up the tense atmosphere in the air.
Lu Ning hid in the shadow of a roadside stall, his eyes fixed on the man with the knife.
The man was wearing a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap pulled down to cover half of his face. The folding knife in his hand flashed coldly under the street light.
His eyes were sinister and his steps were furtive as he slowly approached Kisaki Eri who was not far away.
Kisaki Eri was wearing a dark windbreaker, carrying a briefcase, and walking steadily, seemingly unaware of the danger behind her.
Lu Ning’s heartbeat quickened as he analyzed the situation rapidly in his mind.
He originally thought that this mission was just a small matter, but he didn’t expect it to involve Eri Kisaki, the woman he threatened with a digital camera in the laundry room a day ago.
Now, Eri Kisaki is walking on the street defenselessly, and the man with a knife obviously has bad intentions towards her.
The man quickened his pace and was only a few meters away from Kisaki Eri.
He pulled his hand out of his pocket, and the blade drew a cold light in the night, pointing directly at Kisaki Eri’s back.
Kisaki Eri seemed to finally notice something was wrong. She turned back suddenly and her eyes met the knife in the man’s hand.
Her face turned pale instantly, fear flashed in her eyes, and her whole body froze in place, as if nailed by fear.
The blade flew through the air, about to pierce her shoulder.
“stop!”
Lu Ning let out a low shout and rushed out like an arrow.
The body’s strengthening ability was exerted to the extreme at this moment. It was as fast as a gust of wind and rushed in front of the man in the blink of an eye.
He grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it hard, and the knife fell to the ground with a crisp clinking sound.
The man felt pain and looked up in shock, but before he could react, Lu Ning’s fist hit him hard in the face.
“Bang!” With a dull sound, the man staggered back with blood oozing from his nose.
Lu Ning did not stop, and took advantage of the situation to kick the man on the knee, making him fall to the ground.
The onlookers cried out in surprise, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some stayed away for fear of being affected.
Lu Ning stood in front of the man, his fists clenched and his eyes cold, as if he was a completely different person.
Eri Kisaki took a few steps back, leaned against a roadside telephone pole, and the briefcase in her hand slipped to the ground.
Her chest was heaving violently, she was still in shock, and her eyes shifted between Lu Ning and the fallen man.
The “Undefeated Queen of Beika Town” who was always victorious in the court now looked like an ordinary woman, with fragility and shock written all over her face.
The man struggled to get up, cursing: “Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in my business!”
He reached out to pick up the knife on the ground, but Lu Ning stepped on the back of his hand, causing him to grimace in pain.
Lu Ning leaned down, stared into his eyes, and sneered: “Who cares? I’m teaching you a lesson on behalf of your father!”
Another punch hit the man’s chin accurately, causing him to collapse to the ground, groaning and without the strength to resist.
The whole process takes only a few seconds and is clean and neat.
Lu Ning clapped his hands, stood up straight, and looked around.
Passersby were talking about it, but no one dared to step forward.
Fei Yingli was still standing there, her fingers tightly clenched on the corner of her windbreaker, staring at Lu Ning with complicated eyes, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock just now.
The man fell to the ground, covering his face, with blood all over his hand from his nose.
He stared at Lu Ning, his eyes full of hatred, but more of shock. He struggled to sit up, gasping for breath and asked: “How…how did you do it? So fast!”
With a bit of reluctance, he seemed unable to accept that he was knocked down in just a few moves by a seemingly ordinary guy.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, squatted down, stared into the man’s eyes, and showed a playful smile on his face: “Want to learn? I’ll teach you!”
He stood up and kicked the folding knife on the ground. The knife slid to the sewer on the side of the road, making a crisp sound.
The man was stunned for a moment.
His face turned pale and blue. He gritted his teeth, took advantage of the moment when Lu Ning turned around, suddenly got up, and ran towards the corner of the street without looking back.
Lu Ning looked at his back, snorted, and didn’t chase after him.
The mission was to prevent the conflict. Now that the man had fled and the threat was lifted, there was no need for him to create more trouble.
He turned around and his gaze fell back on Kisaki Eri.
Kisaki Eri had picked up the briefcase on the ground and was holding it tightly to her chest, as if using it to hide her inner panic.
His face was still pale, but his eyes had regained some calmness. However, when he looked at Lu Ning, there was an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes.
Lu Ning scratched his head, and the task interface of the “Order Taking” APP flashed through his mind.
The notification of mission completion had not popped up yet, but the conflict had obviously been resolved, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The passers-by around gradually dispersed, and the bustling streets returned to their usual rhythm.
Lu Ning walked closer to Fei Yingli, with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed smile on his face.
“Are you okay? There are so many young men like this on the street. Be careful next time.”
His words were somewhat teasing, as if he wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Kisaki Eri did not respond, but just lowered her head to adjust her windbreaker and avoided his gaze.
His fingers trembled slightly, as if his mind was disturbed by the shock just now and the appearance of Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looked at her, and his mind couldn’t help but recall the laundry room a day ago.
During those two stormy hours, the humiliated look on Fei Yingli’s face is still as clear as a brand.
But now, he has become her savior, and this contrast even makes him feel ridiculous.
He raised his head and his gaze finally fell on Lu Ning’s face, his eyes were mixed with gratitude, anger and a hint of unspeakable shame.
She still can’t forget the humiliation in the laundry room. The threat of the digital camera forced her to surrender. Her body and dignity were trampled to pieces by Lu Ning.
But now, this man whom she hated so much, saved her life at the critical moment.
This feeling of mixed grievances was like a tangled mess, blocking her chest and making it almost impossible for Kisaki to breathe.
Kisaki Eri bit her lip, trying to look calm.
“Thank you… for tonight.”
She didn’t want to owe Lu Ning a favor, but the facts were before her and she couldn’t deny the other party’s help.
After saying that, Kisaki Eri turned around and tried to leave, her steps were a little stiff, as if she was eager to escape from this suffocating scene.
However, Lu Ning stepped in front of her and blocked her way.
The action was not forceful, he just stood there, his hands still in his pockets, with a meaningful smile on his face.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, Lawyer Fei. You should at least show some appreciation for saving my life, right?”
His words were half true and half false, as if he was deliberately provoking her, or as if he was trying to test her reaction.
Kisaki Eri suddenly stopped, looked up and glared at him, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.
“What do you want?”
Kisaki Eri was obviously on guard.
She subconsciously held the briefcase tightly, as if she was afraid that Lu Ning would use some evidence to threaten her again.
The memories of the laundry room came flooding back like a tide. The aggressiveness of the critical hit and attack speed still frightened her to this day.
She even suspected that Lu Ning’s “heroic rescue” tonight was just the beginning of another conspiracy.
Lu Ning shrugged, spread his hands, and pretended to be innocent.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m just saying this casually. You look like you’re really scared. Do you want me to take you home?”
His gaze lingered on Kisaki Eri’s face for a few seconds, with a hint of teasing, but a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Fei Yingli’s hatred for him was deep-rooted, but Lu Ning also knew that his attack tonight was not entirely for the mission – at that moment, when he saw the blade approaching her, his body rushed out almost instinctively.
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth and her fingers turned white.
I really wanted to say “No thanks” and leave without looking back, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn’t move.
Lu Ning’s appearance seemed to open a taboo box in her heart.
The humiliation in the laundry room, the threat of the video, and the life-saving grace tonight, these conflicting emotions intertwined together, making her brain a mess.
Kisaki Eri didn’t even know whether she should be grateful to him or curse him.
The neon lights on the street flickered, and the laughter of passers-by and the noise of traffic came from afar, as if incompatible with the current stalemate.
Fei Yingli took a deep breath and forced herself to look Lu Ning in the eyes.
“I don’t need your help. I will remember what happened tonight.”
Fei Yingli walked sideways around Lu Ning and headed towards the intersection. Her back looked lonely and stubborn in the night.
Chapter 11 Return the favor! (Old version)
Chapter 11: Return the favor!
The neon lights flickered on the street, illuminating the lonely and stubborn back of Kisaki Eri.
She had just escaped from an unexpected crisis and the threat of the knife-wielding man had not yet completely disappeared from her mind, and Lu Ning – the man she hated but also had to be grateful to – blocked her way again.
“Lu Ning, I’m warning you, don’t do anything reckless!”
With unquestionable dignity, Hibiki Eri said, “I am a lawyer. I will not tolerate any illegal behavior!”
She deliberately emphasized the word “lawyer”, as if to remind herself and to warn Lu Ning that she was not the woman who could be manipulated at will.
Lu Ning stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets and a half-smile on his face.
The halo of the street lamp shone on him, outlining his tall figure, but his eyes were somewhat playful.
Kisaki Eri’s warning did not make him back off, but instead seemed to ignite his interest in playing some kind of mischief.
Lu Ning tilted his head, his eyes wandering across her face, as if trying to dig out more emotions from her expression.
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth and her fingers unconsciously clenched the handle of her briefcase.
She knew very well that Lu Ning was not an ordinary person – the experience in the laundry room that day had made her deeply realize his cunning and shamelessness.
The threat from the digital camera is still like a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart.
Although her life was saved tonight, this favor seemed to her like the beginning of another kind of manipulation.
Kisaki Eri stared at him warily, her mind quickly thinking about how to escape.
The surrounding streets were still bustling, with the laughter of passers-by and the noise of traffic coming from a distance, in stark contrast to the current stalemate.
Fei Yingli took a step back, distanced herself from Lu Ning, and looked cold.
“I’ll say it again, don’t try to do anything to me. You saved me and I’m grateful, but that doesn’t mean you can get away with it!”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, as if he was not surprised by her reaction.
He didn’t respond immediately, but slowly took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen, as if confirming something.
Kisaki Eri’s nerves tensed up instantly, fearing that he would use some evidence against her again.
She bit her lip, forced herself to stay calm, and secretly warned herself: No matter what Lu Ning said, she would not let him lead her by the nose again.
Just when Fei Yingli thought Lu Ning would continue to provoke her, he suddenly sighed and looked aggrieved.
“Lawyer Fei, your words are so hurtful!”
Lu Ning spread out his hands, his expression exaggerated as if he was acting, “I helped you fix your washing machine before, and now I’m kind enough to save your life, but you’re not grateful at all, and you think I’m a bad person? Seriously, is this considered abandonment?”
Kisaki Eri was stunned, her eyes widened, and she almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.
“To be seduced and then abandoned?!”
She repeated it, her voice full of disbelief, “Lu Ning, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
A blush unconsciously appeared on Kisaki Eri’s cheeks, a mixture of anger and shame.
The humiliation in the laundry room that day was still vivid in her mind. She was clearly forced to endure two hours of humiliation due to Lu Ning’s threat with the video, but how come in his mouth, it became her who “seduced and abandoned him”?
Seeing Fei Yingli’s intense reaction, Lu Ning curled up a triumphant smile.
He took a step forward and lowered his voice, as if deliberately joking: “Why, Lawyer Fei, have you forgotten what happened that day? We were in the laundry room… Tsk tsk, that was consensual, right? It’s really mean of you to turn your back on me now!”
Fei Yingli’s chest heaved with anger, and her fingers clenched so tightly that they almost pinched into her palms.
She stared at Lu Ning, wanting to slap him, but her mind told her that she couldn’t lose control here.
There were passers-by passing by, and as a well-known lawyer, she could not let her reputation be ruined.
Fei Yingli took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said through gritted teeth: “Lu Ning, don’t talk nonsense! It was you who threatened me with the video that day. It was not consensual at all! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will sue you!”
Lu Ning shrugged and pretended to be innocent.
“Sue me? Lawyer Fei, you must have evidence. Who would believe that you were forced to do what happened to us that day?”
He deliberately lowered his voice and moved closer, “Besides, I still have that video. Are you sure you want to break up with me?”
These words were like a knife, piercing Kisaki Eri’s heart.
Kisaragi’s face turned pale instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
That video clip was her biggest concern, and also Lu Ning’s biggest bargaining chip to control her.
Fei Yingli took a step back and stared at Lu Ning coldly.
“You saved my life just to continue threatening me?”
Kisaki Eri tried to hide her inner anxiety with a tough attitude, but the slight tremors of her body revealed her nervousness.
Lu Ning looked at her, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
He did not answer immediately, but slowly leaned against a roadside electric pole with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was lost in some thought.
Seeing that Lu Ning didn’t say anything, Fei Yingli’s anger subsided a little, but a thought flashed through her mind – that video must be destroyed!
As long as the video exists, she will never be able to escape Lu Ning’s shadow.
“You must delete that video!”
“You saved me, I can pretend nothing happened, but the video must be destroyed!”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, as if surprised by her request.
He slowly took out a familiar object from his backpack – the digital camera!
Kisaragi’s pupils suddenly shrank and her heart almost stopped.
She recognized it immediately. It was the camera that recorded her humiliation in the laundry room that day.
At this moment, Lu Ning actually carried it with him and took it out openly!
Fei Yingli’s face turned pale instantly, for she was afraid that Lu Ning would play the video content in the street and destroy everything she had.
“You…what are you doing!?”
Kisaki Eri lowered her voice and looked around panicking.
Although there were not many people at the intersection, there were still pedestrians passing by, and we must not let anyone see the video.
Without thinking, Fei Yingli rushed forward, grabbed Lu Ning’s arm, and said urgently: “Put it away quickly! Not here!”
He pulled Lu Ning hard and walked towards a secluded alley on the side of the road, walking in quick steps as if he was afraid of being discovered.
Lu Ning was pulled by her, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He didn’t resist and followed her force into the alley.
The alley was narrow and dim, with only the faint light from street lamps in the distance shining in, and a damp smell filled the air.
Fei Yingli let go of her hand, turned around to face Lu Ning, her chest heaving violently.
“Give me the camera!”
Lu Ning raised the camera, waved it in front of her, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Lawyer Fei, since you want it so badly, I will delete it right away and show it to you.”
He turned on the camera, skillfully called up the storage interface, and clicked on the thumbnail of the video.
Kisaki Eri subconsciously moved closer, staring at the screen, fearing that he would play some tricks.
Her figure was vaguely visible on the screen.
Lu Ning pressed the delete key and a “Deleted” prompt popped up on the screen.
He opened the Recycle Bin again, emptied all the contents, and then handed the camera to Eri Kisaki.
“Did you see it clearly? It was deleted completely, not a single bit was left.”
Kisaki Eri was stunned, staring at the empty screen, almost unable to believe it.
Was the video really deleted?
She took the camera, looked through it several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no traces.
My shoulders relaxed slightly, as if a huge stone had been lifted off of my shoulders.
However, the next second, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Lu Ning with a bit of shock: “You…you carry this thing with you?! Who would carry a digital camera with them?!”
Lu Ning laughed and shrugged.
“I am a nostalgic person and like to record my life at any time.”
Kisaki Eri frowned and stared at the backpack in his hand. A thought flashed through her mind: How many secrets does this man have?
She even suspected that there was a bigger conspiracy behind Lu Ning’s “kindness” in deleting the video.
Lu Ning put away the camera, leaned against the wall of the alley, and his eyes wandered over her face.
“The video has been deleted, Lawyer Fei. This is an extra benefit I gave you. I saved your life and helped you destroy your ‘black history’. Tell me, how should you repay this favor?”
Kisaragi’s face froze.
Although the video has been deleted, his existence is still like a thorn, deeply embedded in my heart.
“Don’t push your luck, Lu Ning.
You saved me, I’ve already said thank you, you should delete the video, don’t try to use this to blackmail me!”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and did not refute. He just stood up slowly, put his hands in his pockets, and looked directly at Fei Yingli: “Are you really not going to repay this favor?”
Chapter 12 was deleted, but it seems not to have been deleted! (Old version)
Chapter 12 was deleted, but it seems like it wasn’t deleted!
The night was dark, and the narrow alley seemed even quieter under the dim street lights.
Fei Yingli was standing at the entrance of the alley. She had just escaped from the shadow of the digital camera in Lu Ning’s hand, but was again upset by the questions he raised.
Lu Ning leaned against the wall with her hands in her pockets, a half-smile on her face. The words “The video has been deleted, how can I repay this kindness?” were like a stone that hit her already restless heart.
Kisaki Eri’s mind was in a mess and her chest felt like it was on fire.
Lu Ning’s words were like a net, trapping her in the fog of logic.
He saved her life and deleted the humiliating video, but in her eyes, these “favors” were nothing but a trap carefully designed by the other party.
“Lu Ning, don’t act innocent!”
Kisaki Eri said coldly: “That day in the laundry room, you were the one who threatened me! Now you’re the victim?!”
Lu Ning shrugged and said, “Lawyer Fei, that’s not fair. I was the one who saved your life and deleted the video. How come you only remember what happened in the laundry room? Besides, you didn’t resist too much that day, did you?”
Kisaki Eri’s face turned red instantly, and her head buzzed, as if it was blown away by his shameless remarks.
Her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe her ears.
It was clearly her who was threatened by the digital camera and forced to endure two hours of humiliation, but how come Lu Ning said it was something she did willingly?
This kind of logic that confuses right and wrong made her extremely angry. Her chest heaved violently and she wanted to rush up and tear his smug face into pieces.
“You…you are shameless!”
Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and her eyes were burning with rage.
She was eloquent in court and could handle any opponent with ease, but at this moment, Lu Ning’s sophistry left her at a loss.
Every word was like rubbing salt into the wound, making her feel ashamed and powerless.
Fei Yingli even began to doubt whether she had really lost the will to resist at some point, which allowed Lu Ning to be so unscrupulous.
Lu Ning looked at her, and the smile on his lips deepened.
His eyes moved across her face, as if he was appreciating her anger.
“Lawyer Fei, I may be angry, but you have to be reasonable. I hate it most when people repay kindness with enmity.”
The words were light, but they carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
Kisaki Eri’s sanity was almost consumed by anger.
She knew that Lu Ning was deliberately provoking her and wanted to make her lose control.
But the more she tried to calm down, the clearer the scene in the laundry room emerged – the stormy invasion and the humiliation that left her with nowhere to escape.
The body seemed to still retain the memories of that time.
Kisaki Eri wished she could turn all the humiliation into a punch and hit him hard in the face.
Kisaki Eri couldn’t bear it any longer, and her anger clouded her reason.
He rushed forward, raised his leg, and tried to teach Lu Ning a lesson with a high kick.
The kick was fast and fierce, full of anger, and went straight to Lu Ning’s shoulder.
The air in the alley seemed to freeze, and the dim light from the street lamp drew a sharp arc on her legs.
However, Lu Ning’s reaction was far beyond her imagination.
His physical enhancements and newfound combat prowess make him as agile as a cheetah.
Just when Kisaragi’s leg was about to kick him, he dodged to the side, accurately grabbed her ankle, and pulled hard.
Fei Yingli was caught off guard and lost her balance. She screamed and was pressed against the wall of the alley by Lu Ning.
“Bang!”
Kisaragi’s back hit the wall, making a low muffled sound.
Lu Ning did not let go, still holding her ankles, and gently pushed, lifting her legs high up into an exaggerated split pose.
The hem of Hibiki Eri’s skirt slid down, revealing her slender thighs, and her windbreaker opened, revealing her curves that were usually hidden under her professional attire.
Her face turned red instantly, with shame and anger intertwined, and she felt like she was nailed to the wall, unable to move.
“Lu Ning! Let me go!”
Fei Yingli struggled to pull her legs back, but Lu Ning’s strength was far beyond her expectations.
Lu Ning’s hand locked her ankle tightly like an iron clamp, and his other hand pressed down on her shoulders, pinning her to the wall.
Kisaragi’s chest heaved violently, and her eyes were filled with both anger and unconcealable panic.
She had never thought that she would be suppressed so easily by Lu Ning in such a scenario.
Lu Ning leaned down, put his face close to her ear, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Lawyer Fei, you are so angry, you want to beat me up? But your skills, tsk tsk, you need to practice more.”
After saying that, he let go of her shoulders and instead grabbed Kisaki Eri’s other leg, further fixing the split position, as if he wanted to leave her nowhere to escape.
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth as shame surged over her like a tide.
His body was locked in place by the double pressure of the wall and Lu Ning, unable to move, but his mind uncontrollably recalled the scene in the laundry room.
That critical hit and attack speed increase seemed to be happening to her again at this moment.
Lu Ning’s movements were swift and ruthless, and every time he approached, he brought with him a suffocating sense of aggression.
Kisaki Eri’s sanity was crumbling in shame and anger. She didn’t even know whether she should continue to resist or just give up.
Lu Ning’s eyes wandered over her, as if he was quite satisfied with her reaction.
He leaned forward slightly, his breath almost spraying on her face.
“Lawyer Fei, your posture is much better than in court.”
A trace of despair flashed in Kisaki Eri’s eyes.
He fell into Lu Ning’s control again.
The dim light from the alley shone on her, reflecting her helpless and humiliated expression.
The body seemed to be kidnapped by some forbidden memory and could not break free.
Next, Lu Ning’s movements were swift and ruthless, as if he was reenacting the storm in the laundry room.
The aura almost entwined with hers, like igniting a forbidden flame.
At this moment, Fei Yingli just felt that she was broken. It had been broken since Lu Ning repaired the washing machine.
Now it is sliding into the abyss.
No matter how much she denied it, deep down in her heart, she had already been a broken woman.
Just when Fei Yingli thought that the humiliation would continue endlessly, Lu Ning suddenly let go of her legs and took a step back, as if to give her a chance to catch her breath.
Kisaki Eri staggered to her feet and leaned against the wall, her chest heaving violently, her eyes full of anger and vigilance.
He straightened his messy windbreaker and tried to regain a bit of dignity, only to find that Lu Ning had taken out a familiar object from his backpack – the digital camera!
Kisaragi’s pupils suddenly shrank and her face turned pale in an instant.
She recognized it immediately as the camera that recorded the humiliating scene.
Just a few minutes ago, Lu Ning deleted the video in front of her. She even checked it with her own hands to confirm that there was nothing there.
But now, he took out the camera again, as if he wanted to deliberately tear open the wound that had just healed.
Kisaki Eri’s voice was low and urgent, with obvious panic.
She subconsciously rushed forward and tried to snatch the camera, but Lu Ning dodged her move nimbly.
Lu Ning raised the camera and skillfully pressed the record button, aiming the lens at Hibari Eri. Her messy clothes and angry expression were clearly reflected on the screen.
“Don’t be nervous, Lawyer Fei.”
Lu Ning smiled, his eyes wandering across her face, “You wanted to beat me up just now, this is an assault, I have to keep some evidence to prove that you are a ‘violent lawyer’.”
“This video is your punishment for attacking me.”
Kisaki Eri was stunned, her mind went blank.
She stared at the camera in Lu Ning’s hand, and countless scenes flashed through her mind – the humiliation in the laundry room, the threat of being recorded, and the splits just now.
His body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. He leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with shock and despair.
She even suspected that Lu Ning had never intended to let her go from the beginning, and deleting the video was just a trick to lure her into the trap.
“Didn’t you delete the video?”
Fei Yingli said with some reluctance, “You lied to me!”
I stared at him, wanting to rush up and smash the camera.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, held up the camera, and said slowly: “I deleted it, but this camera can still record it, Lawyer Fei, the pose you just took, wow, it will definitely be a masterpiece if it is photographed.”
He shook the camera and the picture on the screen shook with his movements. Kisaki Eri’s figure looked fragile and helpless in the camera.
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth. The shame was like a fire that almost made her collapse.
Every step Lu Ning took was calculated against her.
From saving her life, to deleting the video, and then to recording it again now, it was like playing a game of cat and mouse, and she would always be the prey that had nowhere to escape.
Kisaki Eri’s chest heaved violently, and her eyes were filled with both anger and unconcealable humiliation.
Chapter 13: The complicated emotions of returning home at night (old version)
Chapter 13: The complicated emotions of returning home at night
The dim street lights cast a faint glow, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell.
Eri Kisaki leaned against the wall, her windbreaker disheveled, her chest heaving violently, her face flushed with shame and anger.
An hour ago, she tried to teach Lu Ning a lesson, but was suppressed by him in an instant and forced to do the splits, exposing her body to the camera of the digital camera.
The forbidden “punishment” was like a violent storm, exhausting her both physically and mentally.
At this moment, not only was my mind numb, but my legs were also sore from maintaining the exaggerated posture for a long time, as if all my strength had been drained out.
Lu Ning stood at the entrance of the alley, with a backpack slung over his shoulder, his digital camera already put away, and a nonchalant smile on his face.
He glanced at Kisaki Eri and saw that her steps were unsteady and her figure under the windbreaker looked fragile and embarrassed, but her eyes were still stubborn.
Lu Ning scratched his head, as if some idea suddenly came to him, and walked closer.
“Lawyer Hime, it’s so late, Beika Town is not safe, let me take you home, so you don’t run into any ‘psycho guy’ again.”
Kisaki Eri suddenly looked up and stared at him, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
She wanted to refuse outright, but the numbness in her legs made it difficult for her to even stand.
Although the street outside the alley was bustling, the night was dark and the shadow of the knife-wielding man had not yet completely dissipated.
Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth, weighed the issue for a moment, and ultimately did not refute. She just turned around coldly and walked towards the alley.
His steps were stiff, and every step seemed to be stepping on his own dignity.
Lu Ning followed behind her and whistled slowly.
He walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, opened the door, and motioned for Eri Kisaki to get in.
“Get in the car, Lawyer Fei. I’m not the kind of guy who would just leave people on the side of the road.”
Lu Ning’s eyes wandered over her, with a teasing smile on his lips.
Fei Yingli didn’t look at him. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head and got into the car. She sat in the corner of the back seat, trying to keep as much distance as possible from Lu Ning.
Her windbreaker was wrinkled, her hair was a little messy, and there was still a blush of shame on her face.
Lu Ning then got in the car and told the driver the address of Kisaki Eri’s apartment. The driver nodded, and the car started slowly, blending into the night scene of Beika Town.
The car was so quiet that you could almost hear each other’s breathing.
Kisaki Eri leaned against the car window and looked out. The neon lights flowed across her face, reflecting her complicated expression at the moment.
The scenes in the alley just now were churning in her mind – Lu Ning’s aggressiveness, the camera lens, and the humiliation that left her with nowhere to escape.
My legs are still numb and my body seems to still have the feeling of his touch, which makes me angry and powerless.
Hibiki Eri even began to doubt whether she would ever be able to get rid of the shadow of this man.
Lu Ning sat beside her, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes occasionally glancing at her profile.
He didn’t speak actively, as if to give Kisaki Eri some breathing space.
The taxi’s radio was playing cheerful music, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere inside the car.
Fei Yingli bit her lip and forced herself to focus on the street view outside the window, trying to drive Lu Ning’s existence out of her mind.
The car drove smoothly on the streets of Beika Town, and the roadside ramen stalls and convenience stores emitted a warm glow in the night.
Fei Yingli stared out the window, but her mind couldn’t help but think of Lu Ning.
She complained in her heart: The biggest danger I have encountered in my life is not the knife-wielding gangster, nor the strong opponent in the court, but this man Lu Ning!
Every time he appeared, it was like a carefully designed nightmare, crushing her dignity and self-control.
Thinking back to the two hours in the laundry room, Lu Ning’s stormy invasion left her with nowhere to escape;
I recall the conflict at the intersection, where the hero saved the girl but took the opportunity to threaten her;
Thinking back to the splits and the digital camera in the alley just now, every step he took was testing the edge of shame.
Kisaki Eri’s chest rose and fell slightly, anger and humiliation intertwined into a net that trapped her tightly.
She even wondered if Lu Ning was some kind of demon who was born to destroy her.
I took a quick glance at Lu Ning and saw him leaning leisurely in his chair, looking out the window, with that unfathomable smile still on his lips.
Kissing Eri clenched her teeth and secretly warned herself: I can’t let him lead me by the nose anymore!
She is the undefeated queen of Beika Town. No matter what tricks Lu Ning plays, she must regain the initiative.
But even though she complained in her heart, her body still felt sore and numb, and the images in her mind would not go away, making her determination seem a little weak.
The taxi turned into a quiet residential street, and Eri Kisaki’s apartment building was already in sight.
Kisaki Eri adjusted her sitting posture, straightened her messy windbreaker, and tried to make herself look less disheveled.
Lu Ning turned his head and glanced at her, as if he had noticed her change, and said with a smile: “Lawyer Fei, take a good rest when you get home. Looking at your condition, your legs must be numb, right?”
Kisaki Eri snorted coldly and did not respond, her eyes still looking out the window.
Her complaints became more and more intense: Lu Ning, you are my biggest danger!
He even began to consider whether to call the police or find someone to investigate Lu Ning’s background.
But when she thought of the digital camera and the footage she had just recorded, her courage seemed to be drained away.
The chips in Lu Ning’s hand are enough to make her hesitate.
The taxi stopped downstairs of Eri Kisaki’s apartment and the driver quoted the fare.
Lu Ning took out his wallet, paid the bill first, and waved his hand to signal Kisaragi not to worry about it.
“It’s just a small matter, Lawyer Fei, don’t be polite to me.”
The action was natural, but it made Kisaki Eri frown even more tightly.
After getting off the car, she stood in front of the steps of the apartment building. The night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, which made Kisaki Eri a little more sober.
Lu Ning got out of the car and stood beside her. He looked up at the apartment building and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
“It’s getting late, Lawyer Fei, how about I go upstairs and sit down with you? Have a cup of coffee and talk about life?”
Kisaki Eri turned her head suddenly and glared at him, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
“No!”
She refused without hesitation, her voice cold and resolute, “I’m very tired and want to rest. You can go back.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with hurried steps, as if he was afraid that Lu Ning would pester him again.
My legs were still numb and every step felt like I was stepping on cotton. I tried hard not to reveal any flaws.
Lu Ning stood where he was and did not chase after her. He just looked at her back with a slight smile on his face.
He put his hands in his pockets, as if he had anticipated Kisaki Eri’s reaction.
Eri Kisaki quickly walked into the apartment building, rushed up the stairs, took out her key, opened the door, and slammed it shut, as if isolating herself from the whole world.
Leaning against the door, his chest heaving violently, Lu Ning’s playful face was still in his mind.
The apartment was so quiet that I could almost hear my own heartbeat.
Kisaki Eri took off her windbreaker, slumped on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Thinking of Lu Ning’s action of sending her home, she felt resentful again: this man’s apparent “good intentions” were nothing more than another means of control!
She even suspected that he had deliberately suggested “sitting down” at her doorstep just to scare her.
The Beika-cho outside the window was still bustling, and the neon lights shone through the curtains and onto the living room floor.
Kisaki Eri took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Lu Ning’s existence is like a cancer in her life that may erupt again at any time.
But she also knew that as a lawyer, she had to find a way to get rid of this man’s shadow.
On the other side, Lu Ning stood downstairs of the apartment building, looked up at Fei Yingli’s window, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
He took out his mobile phone and the interface of the “Order Taking” APP was displayed on the screen. The reward for completing the task still benefited him a lot.
Lu Ning rubbed his hair, turned and walked towards the coffee shop, his back blending into the night.
In Eri Kisaki’s apartment, the wall clock was ticking, and the time indicated late at night.
I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but Lu Ning’s figure was lingering like a nightmare.
Chapter 14: Really accurate in judging people! (Old version)
Chapter 14: Really good at judging people!
In the dark of night, Lu Ning dragged his slightly tired steps back to his room.
After sending Kisaki Eri home, the scene of the forbidden confrontation in the alley was still echoing in his mind – Kisaki Eri’s helplessness and anger, the shameful moment captured by the digital camera, made him both excited and complicated.
He shook his head, opened the door, took out his mobile phone, and opened the “Order” APP.
A prompt popped up on the screen indicating that the mission was completed: “Mission: Prevent violent conflict and handle follow-up matters, completed.
Reward: Special clothing set (random).”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself: Special clothing? What the hell?
Swipe your finger across the screen and click to receive the reward. The next second, a pile of colorful clothes appears out of thin air on the floor, piled up like a small mountain, exuding a faint fragrance of fabric.
Lu Ning widened his eyes and leaned forward to take a look. The expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
The types of costumes are varied and dazzling: a tight female Spider-Man uniform, red and blue interwoven, outlining the perfect curves;
A set of cat ear costumes, a black leather jumpsuit with a furry tail, exudes wildness and temptation; there is also a bunny costume, a pink fluffy skirt with white stockings, which is sweet but fatally charming; there are even Superman tights and gorgeous robes in the style of Wu Zetian, each of which is exquisitely designed and full of provocation.
Lu Ning swallowed his saliva, felt his mouth dry, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
I picked up a cat-ear outfit at random, the leather fabric shone under the light, and I imagined how someone would look like wearing it. Countless beautiful images flashed through my mind in an instant.
He complained in his heart: What kind of person does this damn APP take me for? !
But… you’re really damn good at judging people!
Lu Ning couldn’t help laughing out loud, his eyes lingering on the pile of clothes, and his mind was already thinking about how to “make the best use of everything”.
I sorted out the clothes one by one, stuffed them into a big box, and pushed it to the corner.
Leaning on the sofa, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper.
The rewards from the order-taking APP are always unexpected, from physical enhancement to digital cameras, to the current clothing sets, each time makes him surprised and satisfied.
Lu Ning secretly decided: I must let the cafe’s staff try these “new uniforms” tomorrow, maybe it will make business more popular.
The next morning, the sun shone into the maid cafe, and the pink lace walls looked particularly warm under the light.
Lu Ning walked into the store carrying a large box with a mysterious smile on his face.
Mao Lilan, Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba were preparing to open the store, each busy wiping the tables and chairs and organizing the menus.
Seeing Lu Ning coming in, Lanshan Buniao stepped forward first and asked with sparkling eyes: “Boss, what’s in this box? New coffee beans?”
Lu Ning waved his hand, smiled and opened the box, revealing a pile of colorful clothes.
“It’s not coffee beans, it’s new uniforms! Our store needs something new to attract more customers.”
He took out a few carefully selected outfits from the box and handed them to the three people. “Try these, I guarantee you will become the focus of the store!”
Ran Mao Li took a black maid outfit. The skirt was slightly shorter than her usual uniform. It was matched with white lace and black over-the-knee socks, adding a bit of contrasting charm to the design.
She frowned, her cheeks slightly reddened.
“Is this… too exaggerated?”
Mao Lilan lowered her head and tugged at the hem of her skirt, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Lu Ning waved his hand and encouraged: “Lan-chan, you have such a great figure, you will definitely look stunning in this! The contrast is the most attractive!”
Arashiyama Ayutori got a cat girl costume. The black leather jumpsuit is tight and sexy, with furry cat ears and tail, which perfectly matches her petite and cute temperament.
She held the dress in her hands, her cheeks flushed, and whispered excitedly, “How cute! Can I really wear this?”
Arashiyama Ayutori turned around with her skirt lifted up, looking like a cat girl from a comic book, sweet yet seductive.
Kon Futaba got a suit maid outfit, a black slim suit jacket with a short skirt, and white lace on the collar, which was handsome with a hint of abstinence temptation.
His heroic face suits the outfit perfectly, his short hair shines under the light, and his standing posture is casual yet he exudes a unique aura.
Kon Futaba raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: “Boss, you have good taste. I like this set.”
She shook her hair, as if she was ready to show off her skills.
The three of them changed their clothes and walked out of the locker room. Lu Ning was standing behind the counter, his eyes wide open.
Mao Lilan’s maid outfit outlines her perfect body trained by karate. Her thighs are white and slender under the short skirt, and the black over-the-knee socks add a bit of playfulness and sexiness.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s cat girl costume makes her look like a lively little fairy, with cat ears swaying slightly and her tail swaying with her steps, so sweet that it makes people’s heart beat;
Kon Futaba’s suit and maid outfit exudes coolness and handsomeness. Her heroic face and ascetic outfit make her look like a heroine from a boys’ comic.
Lu Ning leaned against the counter, his heart beating faster and countless beautiful scenes flashed through his mind.
He complained in his heart: This scene is enough to last for three hundred rounds of battle!
Lu Ning forced himself to remain calm, smiled and clapped: “Perfect! If the three of you wear these, won’t the store’s business be booming?”
His eyes lingered on the three of them, and the smile on his lips could not hide his inner restlessness.
Mao Lilan’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she lowered her head to adjust her skirt, trying to hide her shyness.
Arashiyama Ayutori was spinning around excitedly, his cat ears shaking even more happily.
With her hands in her pockets, Kan Futaba leaned against the wall and glanced at Lu Ning jokingly: “Boss, please tone down your look.”
Her straightforwardness made Lu Ning laugh. He waved his hand to cover it up: “I am just appreciating art!”
The café bell rang and the first wave of customers walked in.
The three of them immediately got to work and greeted the guests. The new clothes really attracted countless eyes.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, holding a cup of coffee, following their figures with his eyes, secretly sighing in his heart: Order-taking APP, you are really my great assist!
At the same time, on the other side of Beika Town, Eri Kisaki was sitting in the office of a law firm with a pile of case files spread out in front of her, but she couldn’t concentrate at all.
The humiliation she experienced in the alley last night was like a nightmare. Lu Ning’s invasion, the camera lens, and the hour that left her physically and mentally numb, she still cannot calm down.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind – she had forgotten to take protective measures after last night’s “accident”!
Kisaki Eri stood up suddenly, her face pale.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, I saw that it had not been more than 24 hours since last night’s incident, so there was still time to make amends.
He grabbed his coat, hurried out of the office, and headed straight for the nearby convenience store.
His steps were hurried, his windbreaker slightly lifted in the morning breeze, and his face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Kisaki Eri prayed secretly that she would not meet anyone familiar at this time.
The convenience store is brightly lit and the shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods.
Hibiki Eri lowered her head and walked straight to the medicine area. She quickly scanned the shelves and found a box of emergency contraceptive pills.
He reached out to take it, but his movements were a little stiff, as if he was afraid of being seen.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind: “Eri? What a coincidence!”
Eri Kisaki was startled and turned around suddenly, only to meet Kudo Yukiko’s brightly smiling face.
Yukiko was wearing a stylish red coat, her sunglasses pushed up on top of her head, and she was holding a shopping basket with several bottles of drinks and snacks.
Her eyes looked at Kisaki Eri curiously and soon fell on the box of birth control pills. Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered some big secret.
“Eri, what are you doing…”
Yukiko moved closer and lowered her voice, her face full of gossipy excitement, “Buy this? Wow, when did you make peace with Kogoro? Tell me, was it intense last night?”
She blinked and smiled like a cunning fox, her gossipy heart burning.
Kisaki Eri’s face turned red instantly, as if her secrets had been exposed on the spot.
She hurriedly stuffed the medicine box into her bag and waved her hands to deny it: “Yukiko, don’t let your imagination run wild! I…I just bought it for a friend!”
His voice was hurried and his eyes were evasive, trying to hide his inner panic.
But who is Yukiko?
Her observation skills were comparable to those of a detective. She saw through Kisaki Eri’s embarrassment at a glance and laughed even more happily.

Chapter 15 The crowd: Yukiko Kudo! (Old version)
Chapter 15 The spectators: Yukiko Kudo!
early morning.
It’s sunny.
The glass door of the convenience store reflects the bustling light and shadows of the street.
Yukiko Kudo stood in front of the shelf, holding a shopping basket full of drinks and snacks, but her eyes were fixed on Eri Kisaki’s back.
Hibiki Eri had just picked up a box of emergency contraceptive pills from the medicine section and hurriedly stuffed the box into her bag, her face full of unconcealable embarrassment.
Yukiko narrowed her eyes, her mind quickly recalling the scene from a few days ago.
Just last week, Eri Kisaki was still complaining to her on the phone about all the bad things about Maori Kogoro – he was addicted to alcohol and slept drunkenly on the sofa in the detective agency all day long;
As a detective agency, there are only a few business orders throughout the year, and the family expenses are all supported by the income of Eri Kisaki as a lawyer.
Kisaki Eri said this with gritted teeth at the time, and she wished she could kick Kogoro Mori out of the house.
Yukiko clearly remembered that Kisaki Eri also swore that she would never have any intimate relationship with that “useless husband” again.
But now, Kisaki Eri was actually buying emergency contraceptive pills at a convenience store, with a tired look on her face as if she didn’t sleep well last night. This contrast instantly made Yukiko’s brain start working.
Yukiko Kudo leaned against the shelf with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes wandering over Eri Kisaki, a playful smile rising from the corner of her mouth.
“Eri, you’re in this state, buying medicine for your friend? You’re kidding!”
She stepped forward, blocking the way of Kiyori, and said with a smile, “Tell me the truth, has Kogoro turned over a new leaf recently and given you a one-night stand? And you were so bold as to not use a condom?”
Yukiko’s eyes were sparkling, as if she had already imagined a romantic drama in her mind.
Kisaki Eri’s chest heaved violently and her cheeks felt hot as fire.
She bit her lip, and her mind flashed back to the humiliation in the alley last night – Lu Ning’s invasion, the lens of the digital camera, and the hour that left her physically and mentally numb.
Her legs were still numb and her body seemed to still feel Lu Ning’s touch, which made her feel ashamed and angry.
Yukiko’s teasing was like a knife, piercing her heart precisely, leaving her unable to defend herself.
I wanted to refute, but found that any explanation would be like walking into a trap.
I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and forced a stiff smile.
“Yukiko, you think too much. There’s nothing like that between Kogoro and me!”
The voice was hurried, with obvious panic.
Kisaki Eri tried to bypass Yukiko and walk towards the cashier, but Yukiko followed her closely like a naughty hunter, and the flames of gossip burned more and more fiercely.
Yukiko followed beside Eri Kisaki, the shopping basket in her hands jingling and a teasing smile on her face.
“Eri, there’s definitely something fishy about your reaction!”
She moved closer and lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard by others. “Tell me, what happened last night? Kogoro is usually unreliable, but he is quite fierce at the critical moment.”
His eyes wandered over Hibari Eri’s face, trying to dig out more “truth” from her expression.
Fei Yingli’s face became even uglier, and her mind uncontrollably recalled Lu Ning.
The alley last night, the splits, and the shameful scene captured by the digital camera are lingering in my mind like a nightmare.
Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth, trying to hide her inner panic, but she blurted out inadvertently: “It’s not Kogoro!”
As soon as she said this, she immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and her face turned pale instantly, as if she was frightened by her own words.
Yukiko was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened like bells, and her gossipy heart completely exploded.
She grabbed Kisaki Eri’s arm and almost jumped up with excitement.
“What?! Not Kogoro?!”
The tone of the voice rose a few notches, attracting the cashier’s glance over here.
Yukiko quickly lowered her voice and leaned close to Hibiki Eri’s ear, as if she had discovered a shocking secret, “Eri, you… you have another man?! Tell me, who is it?!”
Kisaki Eri’s heartbeat quickened, as if she was pushed to the edge of a cliff by Yukiko’s questioning.
His chest heaved violently and his cheeks felt so hot that they were almost smoking.
I wanted to explain, but I found that the more I explained, the worse it got.
No one must know about Lu Ning’s affairs – the threat of the video and the humiliating “punishment” would ruin her career as a lawyer and her reputation once they were exposed.
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth, a hint of despair flashed in her eyes, and her mind quickly figured out how to escape.
“Yukiko, stop imagining things!”
Kisaragi forced a smile and tried to change the subject, “I just said it casually, I don’t mean anything else!”
He turned and walked to the cashier, paying for the medicine hastily, his movements hurriedly, for fear that Yukiko would continue to ask questions.
But Yukiko kept following closely, and the flame of gossip burned even more fiercely, and she was determined to dig out the truth.
Yukiko narrowed her eyes and stared at Kisaki Eri’s back, the smile on her lips becoming more and more intense.
“Eri, your reaction is definitely revealing!”
She caught up with him and said with a smile, “Don’t try to run away. Tell me, who was that man last night? Is he handsome? What’s his figure like?”
He was unconcealedly excited, as if he was ready to listen to a feast of gossip.
Kisaki Eri’s face turned from red to white, and the medicine box in her hand was like a red-hot iron in her bag, making her feel uneasy.
He turned to face Yukiko and forced a smile.
“Yukiko, I have urgent matters at the law firm, so I have to leave first!”
Leaving behind a perfunctory excuse, he rushed towards the exit of the convenience store without looking back, his steps hurried as if there was a wild beast chasing him.
Yukiko stood there, her eyes full of teasing and curiosity.
In her eyes, Kisaki Eri’s panic was the best “evidence”, and her gossipy heart burned like a raging flame.
“Eri, you can’t keep this secret hidden!”
Yukiko raised a sly smile and began to plan how to “dig out” more details.
Kisaki Eri rushed out of the convenience store and stood on the street. The morning breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, which made her a little more awake.
His chest was still heaving as Yukiko’s teasing and the humiliation he’d experienced in the alley last night flashed through his mind.
The medicine box sat heavy in her bag, reminding her of the reality of the nightmare.
Kisaki Eri looked down at the time and saw that there was still room before the 24-hour limit. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn’t get rid of the heaviness in her heart.
He took a deep breath, straightened his windbreaker, and walked towards the office.
The back figure looked lonely and stubborn in the morning light, as if trapped in an inescapable nightmare.
The streets of Beika-cho gradually became lively, with aroma wafting from the roadside ramen stalls and a constant stream of pedestrians.
But in Hibiki Eri’s mind, there was only Lu Ning’s playful face and Yukiko’s all-seeing eyes.
Yukiko stood in the convenience store, her eyes still fixed on the direction where Kisaki Eri disappeared, and the smile on her lips grew more intense.
He placed the shopping basket on the counter and paid the bill slowly, but his mind was full of Kisaki Eri’s abnormal reaction.
Not Kogoro Mori?
Who could that be? Yukiko’s detective instinct was completely ignited, and she began to recall the recent whereabouts of Kisaki Eri, trying to find any possible clues.
I picked up my phone and looked through the chat history with Eri Kisaki, but there was no unusual information.
Yukiko frowned and muttered to herself, “Eri, your secret is really deep!”
The gossipy heart was like a ball of flame, burning more and more fiercely, as if it was determined to dig out the “truth” about Kisaki Eri.
Yukiko walked out of the convenience store carrying a shopping bag. The sun shone on her, and her red coat was particularly eye-catching in the morning light.
He looked up at the sky and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Eri, let’s wait and see!”
Humming a little tune, she walked briskly towards home, her whole body glowing with the excitement of gossip.
The morning in Beika-cho is still bustling, the convenience store radio plays cheerful advertising songs, and pedestrians come and go on the street.
Kisaki Eri’s back had long disappeared in the crowd, but Yukiko’s gossipy heart was like a spark that could ignite a bigger storm at any time.
Chapter 16: The Missing Kudo Shinichi! (Old Version)
Chapter 16 The missing Kudo Shinichi!
The campus of Teitan High School is filled with the atmosphere of youth.
As soon as the bell rang, students in the classroom packed their bags in groups of three or four and prepared for lunch break.
Mao Lilan sat in the seat by the window, holding her chin, looking at the playground outside the window, but her eyes were somewhat empty.
The textbook was spread out on the table, and the notes were neatly written, but he was obviously absent-minded.
A name kept appearing in my mind – Kudo Shinichi.
Shinichi has been on leave for several days and there has been no news from him, as if he had disappeared from her world out of thin air.
Mao Lilan frowned, recalling the last few times she called him, all of which resulted in the cold response “the phone is turned off”.
She bit her lip, her chest rising and falling slightly, with a hint of anger.
They are obviously childhood sweethearts, but the other party is always so elusive and doesn’t even say hello.
Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing next to her, packed her schoolbag, leaned on her desk, and noticed something strange about Mouri Ran.
He raised an eyebrow and leaned forward with a teasing smile on his face.
“Hey, Ran, are you thinking about your Prince Shinichi again?”
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable of her voice, her eyes sparkling, as if she had discovered something interesting.
Mao Lilan’s cheeks turned red and she turned her head suddenly to glare at her.
“Sonoko! Stop talking nonsense! I’m not thinking about him!”
He waved his hands to deny it, but his movements were a little flustered, as if his secrets had been touched upon.
Sonoko laughed and continued to tease mercilessly: “Still being stubborn! Seeing how distracted you are, you must be worried about Shinichi, right? If you care about him, why not give him a call and ask!”
Mao Lilan curled her lips, crossed her arms, and said angrily: “I called him several times, but his phone was always turned off! He can do whatever he wants, I won’t call him again!”
There was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes, but the rise and fall of his chest revealed his inner restlessness.
Thinking back to the days when I played with Shinichi as a child, he was always full of confidence and promised to always be by my side.
But now, the other party seemed like a mystery, making her worried and helpless.
Sonoko shrugged, spread her hands, and said with a smile: “Okay, okay, don’t be angry. Shinichi is probably chasing some big case again, and he was so busy that he forgot to report to you that he is safe.”
She patted Mao Lilan’s shoulder and comforted her, “Wait until he comes back, and then you can deal with him properly! Now let’s go to the cafeteria to eat first, I’m hungry!”
Mao Lilan smiled helplessly, packed her schoolbag, and walked out of the classroom with Sonoko.
The sun shines on the campus’s tree-lined avenues, and students’ laughter rises and falls.
Ran Mao Li looked down at the tip of her shoes, but Shinichi’s shadow was still in her mind.
I couldn’t help but mutter to myself: Shinichi, what are you doing?
After lunch, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko sat in the rest area on the school rooftop, each holding a can of soda, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.
A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Yuanzi stretched and asked with a smile, “Xiaolan, how is your part-time job recently? I heard that you worked in a coffee shop and made a lot of money, right?”
When this was mentioned, Mao Lilan’s brows immediately frowned, as if a sore spot had been hit.
She put down the can of soda, crossed her arms, and said angrily, “Don’t mention it! The owner of that cafe is simply crazy!”
Mao Lilan began to complain to Sonoko, “He said that in order to build a special coffee shop, we waitresses should all cosplay, wearing cat girl costumes, bunny girl costumes, suit maid costumes, all kinds of messes! But he assigned me a maid costume, with a short skirt, lace, and over-the-knee socks. It’s so embarrassing!”
Yuanzi’s eyes widened, almost dropping the can of soda, and she moved forward excitedly.
“Maid costume?! Xiaolan, you wear a maid costume? Tell me, what does it look like? Do you have any photos?”
His gossipy heart was instantly ignited, his eyes lit up like stars, and he couldn’t wait to see Mao Li Ran’s “new look”.
Mao Lilan’s cheeks turned red and she glared at her.
“Sonoko! What are you thinking? There are no photos!”
Mao Lilan hugged her arms tightly, as if trying to hide her shyness, and continued to complain, “I am so strong, how can I be suitable for a maid outfit?! The skirt is so short that I dare not bend over, and the over-the-knee socks keep sliding down. When I carry the dishes, I always feel like someone is staring at me. It’s so annoying!”
Her voice was full of helplessness, but her eyes were somewhat stubborn, as if she was particularly dissatisfied with her identity as a “maid”.
Sonoko laughed out loud, slapped her thigh and said, “Lan, you are so cute with such a contrast, you will definitely attract a lot of fans! The queen of karate wears a maid outfit, wow, which customer wouldn’t be moved when seeing this?”
She winked and jokingly said, “Maybe your boss arranged this outfit for you because he saw your sense of contrast!”
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at her unhappily and curled her lips and said, “What a contrast! That boss is just a weirdo! The clothes of the other waiters are not much better. Ayumu wears a cat girl costume, and Futaba wears a suit maid costume. They are all weird!”
Thinking of the scene in the coffee shop yesterday, Arashiyama Ayutori’s cat ears were swaying, Kon Futaba’s suit was handsome and cool, and I was wearing a short skirt maid outfit, carrying a plate and moving among the customers. I always felt out of place.
Yuanzi held her chin with her hand and laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter.
“This boss is really good at playing! But, Xiaolan, why do you have to wear a maid outfit? Can’t you just tell him to change into something else?”
Mao Lilan sighed, leaned on the railing, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
“I don’t want to either, but he said that the maid costume suits me best, and he also said that ‘contrast is the selling point of the cafe’.
I tried to protest, but he said, ‘If you don’t wear it, your salary will be deducted.’ What can I do?”
After listening to this, Yuanzi frowned and asked, “If you are so unhappy, why don’t you quit? With your ability, isn’t it easy to find another part-time job?”
Sonoko picked up the soda can, took a sip, and her eyes wandered over Mouri Ran, as if trying to figure out why she did this.
Mao Lilan smiled bitterly and looked down at the soda can in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes.
“I would like to quit, but my family… you know, my dad lost a lot of money betting on horses and is in debt.”
“My mother is the only one supporting the family. Although the income from the firm is high, the expenses are also high, so I have to help her share some of the burden.
The hourly wage at that cafe was 1,500 yen, 50% higher than the market rate, so I just couldn’t give it up.”
Sonoko was stunned for a moment, put away her playful expression, and patted Mouri Ran’s shoulder.
“Xiaolan, you’ve worked too hard.”
With a bit of heartache, Sonoko’s eyes soon brightened up, “However, 1500 yen an hour is really good! Although the boss is weird, he is quite generous. Just bear with it and leave when you earn enough money!”
Mao Lilan nodded helplessly and smiled.
“I thought so too.
When my father’s debt is paid off, I will quit my job and never wear a maid outfit again!”
Thinking of the scene in the coffee shop, Lu Ning’s face with a playful smile always made her feel that something was wrong, but the high hourly wage made her unable to give it up easily.
Sonoko held her chin with her hand, her eyes wandering over Maori Ran’s face, as if she suddenly thought of something.
“Xiaolan, your cafe sounds quite interesting! Maid costumes, cat girl costumes, and suit maid costumes. Wow, it feels like a cosplay paradise!”
Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “How about I go with you after school? I can also see how handsome you look in a maid costume!”
Mao Lilan’s cheeks turned red and she waved her hands violently.
“Yuanzi! Stop it! You’ll definitely laugh at me again if we go!”
She glared at Sonoko, trying to hide her shyness, but Sonoko was already laughing so hard that she was bent over, as if she had to go.
Yuanzi picked up the can of soda, took a big sip, and smiled so hard that her eyes curved into crescents.
“Xiaolan, don’t be shy! You must be super cute in a maid outfit! I’m going to take a picture of you as a souvenir!”
“Maybe I can even see your boss. He makes 1,500 yen an hour, so he must be a wealthy man!”
Mao Lilan held her forehead helplessly and sighed.
“Yuanzi, don’t talk nonsense when you go there.
That boss… is a little weird, he likes to stare at us.”
Thinking of Lu Ning’s gaze, which always carried a hint of discomfort, his chest rose and fell slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
Yuanzi didn’t care at all. She waved her hand and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? With you, the queen of karate, here, who dares to mess around? Besides, I’m just going to join in the fun and help you support the place!”
Mao Lilan smiled bitterly, knowing that she couldn’t persuade Sonoko, so she nodded.
“Okay, you come with me after school, but you are not allowed to take pictures or talk nonsense!”
Yuanzi just laughed and waved his hand to indicate “no problem”, but his eyes were bright as if he had discovered a treasure.
A breeze blew across the rooftop, bringing a hint of coolness.
Ran Mao Li leaned against the railing, looking at the playground in the distance, but Shinichi’s shadow flashed through her mind.
She muttered to herself: Shinichi, where are you? If you were here, you would probably laugh at me for wearing a maid outfit, right?
There were some complicated emotions in his eyes.
Sonoko stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: “Come on, Xiaolan, we still have classes in the afternoon! I will go to the cafe with you after school, and get ready to be my ‘maid’!”
Suzuki Sonoko smiled like a cunning little fox.
Mao Lilan smiled helplessly, packed up her things, and walked down the rooftop with Sonoko.
The campus of Teitan High School is still bustling, and the students’ laughter echoes in the sunshine.
Mao Lilan’s steps became lighter, but the longing and worries in her heart were like a dark cloud that could not be shaken off.
Chapter 17 Big Pie! (Old Version)
Chapter 17: Big promises!
The setting sun cast its golden afterglow, and a crowd of people surged in front of the gate of Teitan High School, with students dispersing in twos and threes.
Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba were carrying their school bags and walking on the road leading to the maid cafe with brisk steps and a look of anticipation on their faces.
The two walked and chatted, and the topic soon turned to their boss, Lu Ning.
“Bu Niao, do you think Boss Lu Ning is really handsome?”
Kon Futaba put her hands in her pockets, glanced at Arashiyama Ayutori beside her, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
His short hair shone in the sunset, and his handsome face was full of teasing. “That figure, that look, wow, I saw you staring at him in a daze yesterday, and my mouth was almost watering!”
Arashiyama Ayutori’s cheeks turned red, as if his secrets had been discovered, and he waved his hands to deny it: “No! How could I be in a daze!”
She glared at Kon Futaba, her face flushed like a ripe apple, her petite figure looked even cuter in the sunset, “I just… I think the boss is a nice guy, and the work arrangement is pretty good! It’s not as exaggerated as you say!”
Arashiyama Ayutori curled her lips, trying to hide her shyness, but the more she spoke, the less confident she seemed.
Kon Futaba laughed, moved closer, and said jokingly, “Still talking tough? Ayumu, you’re just a little nympho who can’t walk when you see a handsome guy!”
He deliberately slowed down his pace and looked at Arashiyama Ayutori. “Yesterday you wore that cat girl costume, wagging your tail and spun around in front of him. Wasn’t it because you wanted him to look at you more?”
“No! I didn’t! You’re talking nonsense!”
Deny three times in a row first.
Arashiyama Ayutori got anxious, stopped, put his hands on his hips, and his cheeks were red as smoke, “It’s my job! The boss said the cat girl costume is unique, I have to cooperate!”
She bit her lip, her chest heaving slightly, with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes, but her shy look made her look like a cute girl from a comic book, making people want to tease her.
Kon Futaba shrugged and said with a smile: “Okay, okay, you are not a flower maniac, I was wrong.”
He patted Arashiyama Ayutori’s shoulder and continued walking forward, unable to hide the smile on his face.
Recalling the scene in the coffee shop yesterday, Lu Ning’s gaze lingered on their uniforms, with a hint of something that made one’s heart beat faster.
Kon Futaba complained in her heart: This boss does have a bit of a “dangerous” charm.
The two of them bickered all the way and soon arrived at the door of the maid cafe.
The bell at the door rang crisply, the light of the setting sun shone through the glass window, shining on the pink lace-decorated walls, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of coffee and cake.
Arashiyama Ayutori tidied up her schoolbag, the blush on her face not yet completely fading.
Kon Futaba pushed the door open and walked in with a handsome step, as if she was ready for a day’s work.
Inside the coffee shop, Lu Ning stood behind the counter, holding a cup of freshly brewed latte in his hand, and glanced at the interior of the store.
Yesterday’s new uniforms were a huge success. Mouri Ran’s short skirt maid outfit, Arashiyama Ayutori’s cat girl outfit, and Kon Futaba’s western suit maid outfit attracted the attention of countless customers, and sales doubled compared to usual.
Leaning against the counter, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the pile of costumes rewarded by the “Order Taking” APP flashed through his mind – the female version of Spider-Man, the bunny costume, the Wu Meiniang robe, each one was full of provocation, which made his heart surge.
The bell rang, and Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba walked in.
Lu Ning’s eyes lit up, he put down his coffee cup, walked forward with a warm smile on his face.
“Abutori, Futaba, you came just in time!”
He clapped his hands, motioning for the two to put down their schoolbags, “Yesterday’s uniforms performed well, let’s try something new today, there are new clothes in the warehouse, go try them out!”
Arashiyama Ayutori was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks flushed again, as if she remembered the embarrassing experience of dressing up as a cat girl yesterday.
She lowered her head and tugged at the hem of her school uniform, and asked in a low voice, “Boss, is it… that kind of clothes again?”
There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he couldn’t hide a hint of curiosity.
Kon Futaba raised her eyebrows, put her hands in her pockets, and said with a smile: “Boss, you change your uniform faster than I change my mood.
Tell me, what’s your style today?
His tone was casual and his handsome face exuded a sense of confidence, as if he could pull off any outfit.
Lu Ning laughed and led the two to the warehouse at the back. He pushed open the door, revealing a pile of colorful clothes.
He picked out two sets from the box and handed them to them.
“Buniao, this bunny girl outfit is for you. The pink fluffy skirt and white stockings will definitely suit your cute temperament!”
He handed Kon Futaba a set of female Spider-Man tights, “Futaba, this one is for you. The tight design highlights your handsome figure. The customers will definitely like it!”
Arashiyama Ayutori took the bunny costume and her cheeks turned as red as ripe cherries.
I looked down at the fluffy skirt and furry bunny ears, and the image of myself wearing it appeared in my mind. I was so shy that I almost smoked.
Kon Futaba held up the tights, her eyes lingering on the red and blue lines, a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.
“Boss, your taste is getting better and better.”
Lu Ning leaned against the door frame of the warehouse, his eyes wandering between the two of them, the smile on his lips growing deeper.
He thought to himself: This scene is simply a visual feast!
I forced myself to calm down, waved my hand and said, “Go change it quickly, come out and let me see the effect!”
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he couldn’t wait to admire their new looks.
Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba held the clothes and looked at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes.
Yesterday’s cat girl costume and suit maid outfit were already exaggerated enough.
Today’s bunny costumes and Spider-Man tights are even more daring.
The tight design and short skirt are very provocative.
Arashiyama Ayutori bit her lip and whispered, “Boss, changing clothes every day, isn’t that too…exaggerated?”
Kon Futaba also nodded, crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows and said, “Exactly, are the customers here to drink coffee, or to watch us change clothes? Boss, what is the positioning of your store?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and a hint of doubt on his handsome face.
Lu Ning was prepared. He smiled and waved his hand, acting like a boss.
“You two, wait a minute, listen to me!”
He cleared his throat and began to make big promises, “This store belongs to all of us, and I, Lu Ning, am not a boss who only cares about my own pleasure!
In addition to the fixed daily salary, you will also receive a commission for each order. You have seen yesterday’s turnover, which has doubled!
This is just the beginning!
In the future we will open branches, grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!
By then, you will be veterans, your salary will be doubled, and you will get huge bonuses!”
He paused, his eyes wandering between the two of them, and continued to fool them: “These uniforms are all carefully designed by me to highlight your temperament and attract customers!
Buniao, your cute charm is the trump card when you wear a bunny girl costume;
Futaba, you are so heroic. Once you put on the Spider-Man tights, you will definitely slay everyone in an instant!
We are creating a unique brand for Beihua Town, do you understand?”
Arashiyama Ayutori was stunned by what he said.
She was a little moved, her cheeks were still flushed, and a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.
She looked down at the bunny costume and bit her lip, as if she was moved by the prospect of “branch” and “bonus”.
Kan Futaba raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: “Boss, you have drawn a perfect pie. Okay, I have no objection to the commission.”
She shook her hair and walked into the locker room holding her tights, her steps cool and confident.
Arashiyama Ayutori hesitated for a moment and followed him in.
The door of the warehouse was closed. Lu Ning leaned against the wall with a smug smile on his face.
Aren’t these two girls under my control?
My eyes turned towards the direction of the locker room, and the image of the two people after changing clothes appeared in my mind, and my heart beat faster involuntarily.
A few minutes later, the two walked out of the locker room, and Lu Ning’s eyes lit up instantly.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s bunny costume is as sweet as a strawberry candy, with her pink fluffy skirt swaying slightly and her slender legs outlined by white stockings.
The bunny ears tremble gently on the head, and the petite figure exudes a fatal cute temptation.
Kon Futaba’s Spider-Man bodysuit is completely different. The red and blue lines cling to her body, highlighting her long legs and straight back.
The handsome face and tight design make her look like a cool queen from a superhero comic.
Lu Ning whistled, smiled and clapped: “Perfect! The two of you are definitely the ace of the store!”
His eyes lingered on the two of them, and the smile on his lips could not hide his inner restlessness.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed. She lowered her head and tugged at the hem of her skirt, saying shyly, “Boss, stop staring at me…”
Kon Futaba put his hands in his pockets and said jokingly, “Boss, please restrain your gaze. The customers are still waiting outside.”
Just then, the bell at the door of the cafe rang crisply, and Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering the warehouse, Mao Lilan came out wearing a short skirt maid outfit. The black lace and over-the-knee socks outlined her perfect figure trained from karate, but there was a hint of reluctance on her face.
Suzuki Sonoko was wearing the school uniform of Teitan High School, carrying a schoolbag in her hands, and looking around, as if she was full of curiosity about this “special” cafe.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, glanced at the two of them, and walked forward with a smile.
“Lan-chan, you brought friends here? Welcome, welcome!”
He turned to Suzuki Sonoko and introduced himself, “I’m Lu Ning, the owner of this store.
Beauty, how can I help you?”
There was a bit of ambiguity in his enthusiasm. His eyes wandered over Suzuki Sonoko and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When Suzuki Sonoko looked up, she met Lu Ning’s eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Lu Ning has a tall and straight figure, with muscular lines faintly visible under his shirt, his facial features are three-dimensional and handsome, and his smile carries a heart-beating charm.
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes were as bright as stars, and she said in her heart: This boss is simply my soulmate!
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled and said, “Wow, Xiaolan, you didn’t tell me your boss is so handsome! This cafe is really the right place to come!”
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at her unhappily and whispered, “Sonoko, stop being a fangirl! Order now!”
He pulled Suzuki Sonoko towards her seat and tried to calm her down, but Sonoko was completely immersed in Lu Ning’s charm.
His eyes followed the other person, and the little stars in his eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.
Lu Ning leaned against the counter, his eyes lingering on Suzuki Sonoko, as if he was quite satisfied with her reaction.
He smiled and said, “Ladies, today I recommend Matcha Latte. It’s sweet but not greasy, and paired with the unique atmosphere of the store, it’s definitely worth the money!”
As he glanced at Mouri Ran’s maid outfit and Suzuki Sonoko’s school uniform, the smile on his lips deepened.
The air in the cafe was filled with the aroma of coffee. Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba began to greet customers. The bunny costumes and Spider-Man tights attracted countless eyes.
Mao Lilan sat in the corner, glared at Suzuki Sonoko, and whispered, “Sonoko, take it easy, don’t be fooled by the boss!”
Suzuki Sonoko held her chin, stared at Lu Ning’s back, and said with a smile: “Xiao Lan, I like this boss!
You can’t snatch it from me!”
“Forehead……”
Mao Lilan held her forehead and suddenly regretted bringing her best friend here.
Chapter 18: Meeting Eri Kisaki at the Cafe! (Old Version)
Chapter 18: Meeting Eri Kisaki by chance in the cafe!
dusk.
The lighting in the maid cafe is soft and ambiguous.
The pink lace walls glow sweetly under the neon lights.
The bell rang crisply, and the atmosphere in the store was lively and subtle.
Suzuki Sonoko sat in the window seat, her chin resting on her hand, her eyes following Lu Ning’s figure, a silly smile on her lips.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, skillfully making coffee. He had a tall and straight figure, his muscles faintly visible under his shirt, and his handsome face exuded a heart-beating charm.
Yuanzi secretly complained: This boss is simply the prince charming sent by God!
She picked up the matcha latte, took a sip, turned to Mao Lilan and said, “Xiaolan, this cafe is great! The boss is handsome and the atmosphere is great. I have decided that I want to work here too!”
Her eyes were sparkling, as if she had already imagined the scene of being with Lu Ning day and night.
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, glared at her, and whispered: “Yuanzi, are you crazy? Your family is so rich, do you still need to work?”
Yuanzi waved his hands and smiled like a cunning little fox.
“You may be rich, but you can’t miss the opportunity to get close to a handsome guy!”
She moved closer to Mao Lilan and lowered her voice, “Look at Boss Lu Ning, that figure, that look, wow, it would be a pity to miss it!”
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her gossipy heart and infatuated nature completely erupted.
Lu Ning heard the noise, walked over, leaned against the table, his eyes wandering over Yuanzi, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“Ms. Suzuki wants to join us? You’re most welcome!”
He clapped his hands, as if he had already started planning, “Our store is short of staff, and with your temperament, you will definitely be an ace in uniform!”
I glanced at Yuanzi’s school uniform with a hint of ambiguous anticipation.
Yuanzi’s cheeks flushed, and she slammed the table excitedly: “Then it’s settled! Boss, when can I start work?”
She straightened her back, as if she couldn’t wait to show her charm.
Mao Lilan held her forehead helplessly and complained in her heart: Sonoko, you are a sheep walking into the tiger’s mouth!
Lu Ning smiled and nodded, took out a shift schedule from behind the counter and handed it to Yuanzi.
“Starting tomorrow, you, Ran-chan, Ayumu, and Futaba will take turns as four of you, how about that?”
He turned to Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba and repeated what he had said to them before: “This shop belongs to all of us!
In addition to the fixed daily salary, there is also a commission for each order. You have also seen yesterday’s turnover, which has doubled!
In the future, we will open branches, grow bigger and stronger, and create greater glory! “
Passionate and bewitching, his eyes lingered on the four girls, and the smile on his lips revealed a sense of confidence that he was in control.
Arashiyama Ayutori was wearing a bunny girl costume, her pink skirt swaying slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded in agreement.
Kuroneko Futaba’s Spider-Man tights outlined her slender figure, and her handsome face was a little playful. She shrugged and said, “Boss, your pie is big enough. I have no objection.”
Mao Lilan sighed, lowered her head to adjust the hem of her maid outfit, and complained in her heart: This boss is really good at fooling people.
Sonoko’s face was filled with excitement as she stared at the shift schedule, as if she had already begun to imagine herself putting on the uniform.
Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction, leaned against the counter, and glanced at the four women.
This lineup is simply the most stunning scenery in Beika Town!
His heartbeat quickened slightly, and the pile of costumes rewarded by the “accepting orders” APP flashed through his mind – cat ears, bunny girl, female Spider-Man…
Each piece is full of provocative meaning.
Wear on them.
It’s definitely a visual feast.
Night falls.
The coffee shop business is booming.
The sound of bells came one after another.
The laughter of the guests and the aroma of coffee interweave into an ambiguous symphony.
Lu Ning stood behind the counter, busy mixing drinks. Occasionally he looked up and bumped into Arashiyama Ayutori’s rabbit ears or Kon Futaba’s tights, and he felt so happy that he felt like flying.
Ran Mao Li was carrying a plate and moving between the tables and chairs. Her short maid outfit outlined her slender legs, attracting the attention of many guests.
Yuanzi was watching from the side, eager to try, as if he was already ready to show his skills tomorrow.
Just then, the doorbell rang again and a familiar figure walked in.
Lu Ning was wiping the coffee machine with his head down when he heard the sound of taking an order. It sounded familiar to him, as if it triggered some memory.
When I looked up, my eyes met a familiar face – Kisaki Eri!
She was wearing a dark windbreaker, looking elegant and cool, with a briefcase slung over her shoulder, as if she had just got off work from the office.
Fei Yingli was also stunned, her pupils shrank slightly, as if she didn’t expect to meet Lu Ning in the coffee shop.
His chest rose and fell slightly, and two humiliating memories flashed through his mind – the naturally fearless gag reflex in the laundry room, the splits against the wall in the alley, and the digital camera lens entangled like a nightmare.
Her cheeks flushed unconsciously and her legs clamped together instinctively, as if she was afraid that Lu Ning would do something out of line again.
Lu Ning raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, leaning against the counter, his eyes wandering freely over her.
“Lawyer Fei, what a rare guest! Would you like to have a cup of coffee?”
There was a hint of ambiguity in the enthusiasm, as if he was deliberately trying to evoke her memories.
Fei Yingli bit her lip and forced herself to remain calm. She glanced coldly at Lu Ning, trying to maintain her dignity as a lawyer.
“An Americano, thank you.”
Kisaki Eri answered without any emotion, wanting to end this unexpected reunion as quickly as possible.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and slowly started to make coffee, but his eyes never left Fei Yingli.
Her windbreaker was open, revealing her slim-fitting professional suit, outlining the graceful curves of a mature woman.
Lu Ning complained in his heart: This woman, no matter how cold her aura is, she can’t hide her body’s reaction!
His heartbeat quickened slightly as the scene in the alley flashed through his mind – Kisaki Eri was pinned against the wall, doing the splits, her windbreaker disheveled, her expression of shame, like a forbidden work of art.
Fei Yingli stood in front of the counter, deliberately avoiding Lu Ning’s eyes and scanning the layout of the store.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s bunny costume was swaying back and forth.
Kon Futaba’s tights look very heroic.
Ran Mouri’s maid outfit has a contrasting charm.
The entire cafe was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
She frowned and thought: How come this store, like Lu Ning, has a shady vibe to it!
Lu Ning brought the American coffee to Eri Fei and said with a smile, “Lawyer Fei, enjoy your coffee.”
His fingers gently brushed the rim of the cup, his eyes wandering over her face, a teasing smile on his lips.
Kisaki Eri took the coffee and her hands trembled slightly.
Because she felt Lu Ning’s fingers silently circling in her palm.
Kisaki Eri’s chest heaved violently, the blush on her cheeks became more and more obvious, and her legs were clamped tighter, as if she was afraid that her reaction would reveal too much.
He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, trying to hide his inner panic.
But the images in my mind kept emerging uncontrollably.
In the laundry room, Lu Ning’s aggression was like a storm. She was threatened by the digital camera and had nowhere to escape;
In the alley, she was pressed against the wall, and the split-leg posture made her feel extremely ashamed. Under the camera, it seemed as if all her defenses had been stripped away.
Those forbidden memories burned her mind like flames, leaving her angry and powerless.
Fei Yingli raised her head and met Lu Ning’s gaze.
The other person’s eyes were full of undisguised teasing, as if he could see through her heart.
Kisaki Eri gritted her teeth and forced a sneer.
“Lu Ning, your store is really… unique.”
Lu Ning just shrugged and said with a smile: “Lawyer Fei, come often if you like.
You are always welcome in our store.”
The words were meaningful, as if leaving some unfinished foreshadowing.
Kisaki Eri’s chest rose and fell slightly, and her eyes swept over the four women in the store with a complicated expression.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something.
No, why is Mao Lilan here?
Could it be that the part-time job Mao Lilan mentioned before is here? !
Kisaki Eri recognized Mouri Ran. Her daughter was wearing a short-skirt maid outfit, carrying plates and moving among the guests, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Kisaki Eri frowned and thought to herself: Why is Xiaolan working here?
What on earth is this Lu Ning doing?
His gaze returned to Lu Ning, with a hint of vigilance, as if he was afraid that he would extend his claws to his daughter.
Lu Ning looked at the other party’s reaction and thought to himself: Lawyer Fei, your reaction is more refreshing than coffee!
“Boss, give me a cup of blended coffee!”
“Okay!”
Lu Ning turned around to greet other guests, but he always kept an eye on Fei Yingli’s movements.
The bells of the coffee shop rang one after another.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s rabbit ears shook even more happily.
Kon Futaba’s tights attracted countless eyes.
Ran Mouri’s maid outfit exudes a contrasting charm.
Suzuki Sonoko stood aside, watching with excitement on her face, as if she was already ready to get down to work the next day.
Eri Kisaki stood in front of the counter.
Hand holding coffee cup.
He stared at Lu Ning coldly.
As if trying to see through him.
But her cheeks were still flushed.
The movement of squeezing the legs together revealed the inner panic.
The night in Beika Town is getting darker.
The light from the cafe shone on everyone.
The ambiguous atmosphere spread like a tide.
Fei Yingli lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, forcing herself to calm down, but she couldn’t get rid of Lu Ning’s shadow in her mind.
Chapter 19: Encounter in the Toilet! (Old Version)
Chapter 19: Encounter in the bathroom!
Maid cafe.
Kisaki Eri sat at a table by the window, holding a cup of black coffee in her hand. She looked as cool as usual, but her heart was churning like a volcano.
Lu Ning’s gaze followed her like a shadow, with undisguised teasing in it, making her feel uncomfortable.
The humiliation in the laundry room and the split-legged wall-bang in the alley flashed through her mind repeatedly. Her body tensed involuntarily and an imperceptible blush appeared on her cheeks.
Mao Lilan was holding a tray, wearing a black short-skirt maid outfit. The lace skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing her long legs.
She moved between the tables and chairs, serving coffee and desserts skillfully, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Suddenly, he saw Kisaki Eri, was stunned for a moment, and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Why is mom here?
He walked quickly forward, holding the tray to his chest, breaking the invisible tension between Fei Yingli and Lu Ning.
“Mom? Why are you here?”
With a puzzled look, Mao Lilan’s eyes moved between Kisaki Eri’s windbreaker and the coffee cup on the table.
She frowned, vaguely feeling something was wrong.
Kisaki Eri was sipping her coffee with her head down. When she heard her daughter’s voice, she looked up suddenly. The cup in her hand shook slightly and she almost spilled the coffee.
I wanted to leave early, but I didn’t expect to be caught by Xiaolan. My face turned even redder, as if I was caught red-handed.
“Xiaolan… I’m just passing by and want to have a cup of coffee.”
Kisaki Eri quickly adjusted her expression, trying to make her answer appear natural.
He put down his coffee cup, straightened his windbreaker, avoided his daughter’s gaze, and pretended to look around.
“This store is… quite special.”
Mao Lilan frowned, thinking that her mother’s reaction was a little strange.
Glancing at Lu Ning behind the counter, I saw him leaning against the coffee machine with a playful smile on his face, his eyes vaguely sweeping over here.
Mao Lilan’s heart tightened, and she felt a little uneasy, but she still smiled and said, “It’s quite special. The boss likes to make some weird uniforms.
But, Mom, you don’t usually like to drink coffee, why did you suddenly come today?”
Hibiki Eri’s heart beat faster, and Lu Ning’s digital camera and the scene in the alley flashed before her eyes.
I didn’t dare to say more, for fear of revealing my flaws, so I waved my hand and said, “I’m tired from work, let’s go somewhere else to relax.
You go ahead and do your thing, I’ll leave after I finish my drink.”
He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Mao Lilan nodded. Although she was confused, she did not ask any further questions. She turned around and continued to greet other guests. Her short skirt maid outfit swayed under the light, attracting a lot of attention.
Fei Yingli breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes unconsciously swept towards Lu Ning.
His figure was looming behind the counter, his shirt clinging to his muscular lines, his movements smooth and masculine.
She quickly looked away, but her body seemed to be on fire, and the heat rising from the bottom of her heart made her restless.
Kisaki Eri held the coffee cup, her palms slightly sweaty, and her body’s reaction made her increasingly unbearable.
She felt an indescribable wet heat, as if the humiliation in the alley was rekindled in her body, making her feel ashamed and panicked.
His cheeks felt like they were burning and his eyes darted around, trying to find a way to escape.
She couldn’t let anyone notice that she was abnormal, especially her daughter Xiaolan.
Kisaki Eri took a deep breath, put down her coffee cup, stood up and said to Mao Lilan: “Xiaolan, where is the toilet?”
Mao Lilan was serving dessert to the customer next to her. When she heard this, she turned around and pointed to the back of the store.
“Over there, across the corridor, on the right.”
Although she felt that something was not right with her mother’s condition, Mao Lilan didn’t think much about it and continued to be busy.
Kisaki Eri nodded, grabbed her briefcase, and walked quickly down the corridor.
The windbreaker was lifted up behind her, and the slim-fitting professional suit outlined her graceful curves. Although her steps were fast, they could not hide the slight trembling of her body.
I pushed open the toilet door, walked into the narrow cubicle, locked the door, and leaned against the wall, as if I had finally found a safe haven.
Her cheeks were still burning, and the wet and hot feeling made her extremely ashamed. Her mind was filled with Lu Ning’s shadow – his aggression, his gaze, his camera, like a net, trapping her tightly.
I turned on the tap and splashed cold water on my face, trying to sober myself up.
In the mirror, her eyes were complicated, filled with anger and humiliation.
He straightened his windbreaker, took a deep breath, and prepared to leave.
But her body’s reaction seemed to mock her efforts, making it impossible for her to calm down.
Mao Lilan gritted her teeth and cursed herself: Kisaki Eri, how could you be influenced by that man to this extent!
Meanwhile, the cafe was still bustling.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s bunny girl outfit sways under the light, her pink skirt and white stockings exude a sweet temptation;
Kon Futaba’s Spider-Man tights outlined her slender figure, and her heroic aura attracted countless eyes;
Mao Lilan’s maid outfit has a contrasting charm, and her thighs under the short skirt are white and slender;
Suzuki Sonoko stood beside the counter, chatting with Lu Ning excitedly, eagerly preparing for her debut tomorrow.
Lu Ning leaned against the counter, glanced at the four women in the store, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The piles of clothing rewarded by the “order taking” APP have made this store the focus of Beika Town.
Each uniform seems to be tailor-made for them, teasing the customer’s senses and igniting his fantasy.
Lu Ning clapped his hands and said to Mao Lilan and others, “Well done! Business is booming today, keep it up!
I’m going to the lounge to take a nap, you guys watch the store!”
Mao Lilan nodded, lowered her head to tidy up the tray, and complained in her heart: I’m really impressed by the boss’s laziness.
Arashiyama Ayutori’s cheeks blushed slightly, his rabbit ears swayed slightly, and he whispered, “Okay, boss.”
Kon Futaba shrugged and said jokingly, “Take a nap? Don’t oversleep.”
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and waved: “Boss, don’t worry, we will keep the store going!”
Lu Ning waved his hands, appearing relaxed, but his eyes were secretly following the direction where Fei Yingli disappeared.
He noticed the back of Kisaki Eri as she hurried towards the bathroom. The arc of her windbreaker and the curves under her professional attire made his heart beat faster.
Lawyer Fei, why are you so anxious? What are you hiding from?
Lu Ning raised his lips into an evil smile and walked slowly towards the corridor with light steps, like a hunter tracking his prey.
Bypassing the hustle and bustle of the store and walking into the dim corridor, the door of the toilet is looming at the end.
As his fingers stroked the digital camera in his pocket, the image of Kisaki Eri in the alley flashed through his mind – splits, disheveled windbreaker, shameful expression, like a forbidden work of art.
Push open the door outside the toilet, make sure there is no one around, stand at the door of the women’s toilet, and wait for the opportunity.
Kisaki Eri stood in the cubicle, tidied her clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her restless body.
I turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on my face again. The person in the mirror still had a blush on his face.
Cursing himself for his loss of composure, he pushed open the cubicle door and prepared to leave.
But at the moment the door opened, a hand suddenly reached out from outside the door, covered her mouth accurately, and pushed her back into the compartment!
Before Kisaki Eri could scream, her mouth was tightly blocked by her hand.
He struggled to turn around, but was suppressed by a powerful force and his body hit the wall of the cubicle.
The door slammed shut, the sound of it being locked echoing in the small space.
Fei Yingli widened her eyes and saw clearly who was coming – Lu Ning!
The other person was tall, his shirt was tight on his muscles, with a wicked smile on his lips, and his eyes wandered over her body as if he was admiring a precious prey.
“Lawyer Fei, don’t scream. It’s not good to scare the guests.”
Lu Ning’s hand was still covering her mouth, his body moved closer, his breath almost spraying on her face.
His eyes were filled with undisguised teasing as he swept over her windbreaker and professional attire, as if he could see through every inch of her skin.
Kisara’s pupils suddenly shrank, her body instinctively tensed up, and the wet and hot feeling surged again, making her extremely ashamed.
She tried to push the other person away, but Lu Ning’s strength was far beyond her expectations.
The other hand pressed down on her shoulders, pinning her to the wall, and the closeness of his body left Kisaki Eri nowhere to escape.
Lu Ning released his hand that was covering his mouth and instead grabbed her wrist, pulling gently and securing her arm to the wall.
He leaned close to Hibiki Eri’s ear and whispered, “Lawyer Hibiki, you’re running so fast, are you afraid that I’ll catch up with you?”
His breath was hot and teasing, and his eyes wandered over her face, as if savoring her panic.
Although Hibari’s back was pressed against the cold wall, her body seemed to be on fire, with heat spreading from the bottom of her heart, making her unable to control herself.
She glared at Lu Ning fiercely, her eyes filled with anger and shame, but she did not dare to resist loudly for fear of alerting the guests outside.
Her wrist was hot from being held by Lu Ning, and every inch of her body was exposed to his gaze.
A smug smile appeared on Lu Ning’s lips, and his fingers gently slid across the collar of her windbreaker, as if he wanted to deliberately tease her.
“Lawyer Fei, your reaction is more exciting than I thought!”
The air in the toilet seemed to freeze, and the small cubicle became a forbidden stage.
Kisaki Eri leaned against the wall, her windbreaker was disheveled, and her curves under the professional attire were faintly visible in the dim light.
Lu Ning leaned closer, his eyes locked on her like a hunter, and smiled slightly: “Lawyer Fei, you don’t want your daughter to find out about our relationship, do you?!”
At this moment, the bell of the coffee shop sounded from a distance.
Noise and ambiguity are intertwined.
Like another world.
Chapter 20 So you are this kind of lawyer! (Old version)
Chapter 20 So you are this kind of lawyer!
The hustle and bustle of the maid cafe is blocked by the door of the toilet cubicle, and the small space is filled with a tense and ambiguous atmosphere.
Kisaki Eri leaned against the cold wall, feeling unwell.
I feel like I’m breaking down again.
Just as Lu Ning pushed her against the wall, Fei Yingli’s briefcase slipped from her shoulder and fell to the ground with a bang.
The bag opened and a small medicine bottle rolled out, making a crisp sound on the tiles and stopped at Lu Ning’s feet.
She recognized that it was the emergency contraceptive pill she bought at the convenience store, originally intended to deal with the “accident” in the alley, but she didn’t expect it to be exposed at this moment.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, let go of her wrist, and bent down to pick up the medicine bottle.
His movements were slow and measured, his eyes scanning the label on the bottle, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
“Birth control pills?”
Lu Ning raised his head, his eyes wandering over her red face, as if he had discovered some interesting secret.
“Lawyer Fei, this is good stuff.”
Lu Ning’s fingers stroked the medicine bottle, his eyes filled with undisguised teasing, as if magnifying her shame to the extreme.
Kisaki Eri’s face turned red instantly, as if her secrets had been exposed on the spot, and she suddenly reached out to snatch back the medicine bottle.
But Lu Ning dodged lightly, raised the medicine bottle, and said jokingly: “Don’t worry, Lawyer Fei, let me take a closer look.”
Lu Ning shook the medicine bottle: “So you are such a lawyer, you actually took medicine on purpose just for pleasure!”
“You’re talking nonsense, that’s not the case!”
Fei Yingli was so angry that her nose was about to smoke.
I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.
Lu Ning leaned against the door of the compartment, tossing the medicine bottle in his hand, his eyes locked on Fei Yingli, the smile on the corner of his mouth becoming more and more evil.
“Lawyer Fei, did you come to my cafe today on purpose or by accident?”
Lu Ning showed an ambiguous smile, with a bit of joking, “You actually carry this little pill with you, have you investigated me a long time ago, and are planning to have sex with me?
So thoughtful, have you made preparations in advance to increase comfort?
Dare to do something but not take responsibility for it. This is not like Hibiki Eri’s style!”
Every word was like a knife, piercing precisely into Kisaki Eri’s heart.
Kisaki Eri’s pupils suddenly shrank, her cheeks felt hot as if on fire, and a feeling of shame surged over her like a tide.
She never thought that she would be humiliated so unscrupulously by Lu Ning because of a bottle of birth control pills.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Fei Yingli retorted fiercely, her voice hurried and trembling, “Lu Ning, don’t be so self-indulgent! I bought this… It has nothing to do with you!”
She tried to snatch the medicine bottle back, but Lu Ning dodged again, his body moving closer, their breath almost entwined with hers.
His eyes wandered across her face, as if he could see through every bit of her panic.
“It’s okay? Lawyer Fei, your reaction doesn’t look innocent.”
Lu Ning shook the medicine bottle, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed a bit of confidence in control.
Kisaki Eri’s back was against the wall.
The collar of the windbreaker was open, revealing the collarbone under the professional attire, which glowed alluringly under the light.
Lu Ning’s gaze slid down her collarbone and swept across her tense body, as if he was appreciating a precious work of art.
“Lawyer Fei, the more you struggle, the more people will want to bully you!”
Lu Ning’s heart beat faster.
The image of the laundry room flashed through his mind – the violent invasion, Kisaki Eri’s helplessness and humiliation, made him both excited and satisfied.
Kisaki Eri glared at him, trying to hide her shame with anger.
“Lu Ning, you are shameless!”
Kisaki Eri clenched her teeth, but her body was getting hot uncontrollably and she felt like peeing again.
From threats in the laundry room to footage in the alley.
Now to the medicine bottle.
It’s like playing a game of cat and mouse.
And she will always be the prey that has nowhere to escape.
Fei Yingli’s anger erupted like a volcano. She stared at Lu Ning, her eyes full of contempt and anger.
“Lu Ning, I’m not the kind of woman you think I am!”
“This medicine… is for something else. It has nothing to do with you! Don’t be so self-indulgent here!”
Lu Ning smiled and said, “Anything else? Lawyer Fei, your excuse is not very good.”
“You came to my shop, bringing this little pill with you, and you looked guilty. Tsk tsk, who would believe that you don’t have some ulterior motives?”
“Lu Ning, that’s enough!”
Kisara pushed him away violently, trying to create some distance, but Lu Ning’s body was like a wall, motionless.
Lu Ning grabbed her wrist and pulled gently, bringing her closer again, and the two of them were pressed together again.
“Lawyer Fei, don’t be so excited.”
“The angrier you are, the more interesting you are to me.”
Lu Ning’s fingers gently slid across her wrist, as if he was deliberately trying to tease her.
Lu Ning casually stuffed the medicine bottle into his pocket, as if he was sure of victory.
He let go of her wrists and stepped back slightly, leaning against the cubicle door.
“Lawyer Fei, let’s be frank.”
“How about being my girlfriend? With me protecting you, no one in Beika Town will dare to touch you.”
“Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you.
But… you don’t want Xiaolan to know about the video of the splits against the wall in the alley, right?”
Kisaki Eri’s pupils suddenly shrank, and the blush on her cheeks faded instantly, replaced by a pale color.
Her body was rigid, as if nailed to the spot by his words.
That video – the humiliation in the alley, the splits, the messy windbreaker, the shameful expression, it was all recorded by a digital camera.
The smiling face of Mao Lilan flashed through her mind, and her daughter’s innocence and trust pierced her heart like a knife.
She knew that the chips in Lu Ning’s hand were enough to destroy everything she had.
“You… are shameless!”
Feiying wanted to refuse, but found that she didn’t know where to start.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and moved his body closer, his breath hot and teasing.
“Lawyer Fei, don’t be so stubborn.”
“Think carefully about Xiaolan and your disappointing husband. I heard that he has a very hard time and only takes a few cases a year.”
“Be my girlfriend, and I promise that this video will never see the light of day.”
“If you don’t say anything, it means you agree!”
Another round of critical hits and attack speed left Hibiki Eri with nowhere to escape.
Chapter 21 One door, two worlds! (Old version)
Chapter 21 One door, two worlds!
Toilet cubicle.
Lu Ning smiled slightly: “Lawyer Fei, be my girlfriend and the video will never be seen.”
Then without waiting for the other party to reply, Lu Ning exerted his strength.
A full half hour.
Still no sign of stopping.
Kisaki Eri only felt that she was in the midst of a violent storm.
I’m about to break down.
It’s not about to break down, it’s already broken.
Just at this moment.
The door outside the toilet was suddenly pushed open, making a slight “creaking” sound.
Fei Yingli’s pupils suddenly shrank, and her heartbeat stopped suddenly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her. She suddenly grabbed Lu Ning’s arm, her eyes panicked, motioning him to stop, and whispered urgently: “Someone is coming!”
Her body was shaking and her blush deepened as she was afraid of being discovered.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows but did not let go immediately.
Instead, he pulled Kisaki Eri into his arms and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
He hugged the other tighter.
Kisaki Eri felt hot all over, and her face was as red and hot as a monkey’s butt.
I wanted to push Lu Ning away, but my body was so limp that I didn’t have any strength left.
Lu Ning lifted her chin and said with a smile: “Lawyer Fei, don’t be nervous, be quiet, otherwise… you don’t want to be discovered, right?”
Kisaki Eri glared at him fiercely, but nodded involuntarily.
She turned into an ostrich and buried her little face deeply in Lu Ning’s arms.
The brain has turned to mush.
Completely lost my mind.
Kisaki Eri forced herself to hold her breath, but her ears involuntarily caught the sounds coming from outside the door.
The crisp footsteps, mixed with familiar voices of conversation, were actually Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko!
Outside the toilet.
Mao Lilan pushed open the door of the women’s restroom.
Suzuki Sonoko followed closely behind.
The two chatted as they walked, and their conversation echoed in the empty corridor.
Ran Mouri was wearing a black short maid outfit. The lace skirt swayed gently with her steps, and her over-the-knee socks outlined her slender thighs, bringing a contrasting charm.
After delivering a table of desserts with a tray, his forehead was slightly sweaty. When he went to the toilet, he complained with a bit of impatience on his face:
“Really? My mom is so weird. She just went out for a cup of coffee without even saying hello to me! She’s usually not so perfunctory.”
Suzuki Sonoko, wearing the uniform of Teitan High School and carrying a schoolbag, laughed when she heard the words, moved closer, and said mysteriously, “Xiaolan, your mother must have something urgent to do! Maybe… hehe, she’s going on a date!”
Suzuki Sonoko winked at Mao Li Ran, her gossipy heart burning, and she had already imagined a romantic drama in her mind.
Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at her unhappily, pushed open the door of the compartment, and said as she walked away, “Date? No way! My mom is so busy that she doesn’t even get enough sleep, how can she have time for that!”
“But you, Yuanzi, have been stealing glances at the boss since you entered the store. Your eyes are almost glued to him! Tell me, do you like Lu Ning?”
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then she straightened her back and admitted generously: “Yes! I just like him!
Boss Lu Ning is extremely handsome, has a great figure, and has seductive eyes. He is definitely my Mr. Right! “
Suzuki Sonoko did not hide her love for women. She turned around and glared at Mao Lilan, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously:
“Xiao Lan, don’t you dare snatch him from me! I was the one who fell in love with him first!”
In the compartment, Kisaki Eri heard the conversation between her daughter and Sonoko, and her heart almost exploded.
She glared at Lu Ning with a warning look, fearing that he would do anything out of line.
Lu Ning deliberately provoked her, with a wicked smile on his lips, his hands still around her waist, his body closer, and he chuckled: “Lawyer Fei, your daughter is outside, and they are having a lively chat.”
The breath was hot and sprayed on her earlobe, causing Kisara’s body to tremble involuntarily.
At this time, Lu Ning felt the temperature coming from below and said lightly, “It is said that women are made of water, and now it seems to be true.
Look at you, there is another big flood.”
“You…” Feiying was extremely angry, but helpless, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
After using the toilet.
Ran Mouri stood in front of the sink, turned on the faucet to wash her hands, and looked at herself in her maid outfit.
The skirt was so short that it made her feel uncomfortable, and her over-the-knee socks slid down a bit, revealing her fair calves.
Mao Lilan shook off the water droplets on her hands, turned to look at Yuanzi, raised her eyebrows and said, “But you, Yuanzi, have you really decided to like Lu Ning?
But I can tell you, he is very good at making big promises, so be careful not to be fooled!”
Suzuki Sonoko leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and smiled like a cunning little fox: “Fool? That depends on who you are! How can a man that I, Suzuki Sonoko, likes run away?”
She shook her hair, full of confidence, but the image of Lu Ning standing behind the counter flashed through her mind – tall figure, handsome features, and a smile with a dangerous aura that made people’s heart beat.
Suzuki Sonoko’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she suddenly felt like going to the bathroom again.
Mao Lilan curled her lips and snorted: “I won’t argue with you! People like Lu Ning are not my type at all!”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly froze for a moment, and a trace of inexplicable regret flashed through his heart.
Mao Lilan bit her lip and thought: I don’t like him! It’s definitely not because of his big promises! Besides, I have Shinichi, even if that guy always disappears, I’m so angry that I want to beat him up!
Mao Lilan tried to dispel these messy thoughts, turned to Sonoko and said, “Hurry up, the store is still busy!”
Sonoko smiled and nodded, and the two continued to tidy up their appearance in front of the sink. Their conversation echoed in the bathroom, and they were completely unaware of what was happening inside the cubicle.
Inside the compartment.
When Lu Ning heard what Mao Lilan said, the smile on his face deepened, as if he had discovered some interesting game.
Looking down at Kisaki Eri, she is indeed a peerless beauty.
White, big and upturned.
I don’t know what’s going on in Kogoro Mouri’s brain.
I actually ended up being separated from such a beauty.
I guess he has no brains.
At this moment, Fei Yingli once again felt Lu Ning’s charge horn.
His fingers slid lightly across her waistline.
The next moment, smoke of war rose again.
Kisara’s pupils shrank suddenly and she almost screamed.
Fortunately, the response was timely.
He immediately covered his mouth.
He pressed his hands tightly against his lips, trying not to make any sound.
His eyes were filled with anger and shame, but more of a plea for mercy.
But which normal man would not be confused when seeing this scene?
There is no use begging for mercy.
The more pitiful you are, the better he will fight.
“Lawyer Fei, your reaction…tsk tsk tsk tsk…”
Lu Ning leaned close to Fei Yingli’s ear and breathed heavily.
“Ya…Ya Meteor…Meteor…”
Outside the door, the conversation between Mao Lilan and Sonoko was still clear.
The sound of rushing water is another world of youthful innocence for girls.
Lu Ning hugged her slender waist and laughed sarcastically: “Lawyer Fei, you don’t want Xiaolan to hear anything, do you?”
“No… I won’t.”
Kisaki Eri shook her head reluctantly. She felt as if she was floating in the air, with no rationality at all. She was almost ascending to heaven.
Outside the cubicle, Mao Lilan and Sonoko were completely unaware of what was happening. They tidied up their appearance, turned off the faucet, and the sound of their conversation gradually faded away.
Mao Lilan said impatiently: “Sonoko, let’s go, the store is still waiting!”
Sonoko responded with a smile: “Okay, okay, I’ll be right there! But, Xiaolan, your boss is so handsome, I must dress nicely tomorrow!”
The footsteps of the two people gradually disappeared, the door of the toilet creaked slightly, and silence returned.
But the war in the compartment was still fierce.
In the end, it was Eri Kisaki who took on everything alone.
This woman, who was born without a gag reflex, ate everything up.
Chapter 22 Suspicious Mao Lilan! (Old version)
Chapter 22 Suspicious Mao Lilan!
Mao Lilan pushed open the bathroom door again and came back from outside with a hint of confusion on her face.
She adjusted her skirt, pushed open the door of the cubicle, and her eyes unconsciously swept to the cubicle next to it.
Just now, I seemed to hear some strange sound, like a low gasp, or the rustling of clothes rubbing against each other.
Ran Mouri frowned slightly and turned to look at Suzuki Sonoko behind her.
“Yuanzi, did you hear any sound just now?”
Mao Lilan sounded a little uncertain, and her tone was so soft as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
Suzuki Sonoko turned around, with her usual carefree smile on her face, and waved her hand: “Xiaolan, did you hear wrongly? What kind of sound can there be in this bathroom? Besides the sound of the faucet, it’s the sound of you humming just now!”
Mao Lilan blushed a little after what she said, and muttered: “I didn’t hum a song…”
She still felt something was wrong, but Sonoko had already walked over, took her arm affectionately, and half-dragged her out.
“Alright, alright, stop being suspicious! There are handsome guys waiting for us outside, especially that Lu Ning. Wow, he’s simply a walking hormone!”
As Sonoko spoke, she was laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter, and she didn’t notice the complicated expression on Ran Mouri’s face when she looked back at the bathroom.
The bathroom door was opened and closed, and the footsteps of the two girls gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of dripping water from the faucet.
The entire space seemed to become quiet in an instant, but this quietness carried with it an eerie sense of tension, as if something was stirring in the dark.
Behind the last stall door in the restroom, the air seemed to be stagnant.
Kisaki Eri leaned against the wall of the compartment, her chest heaving slightly, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural blush.
Her hair was a little messy with a few strands scattered around her ears, adding a touch of charm that was rarely seen in everyday life.
Kisaki Eri glared at the man in front of her fiercely:
“Lu Ning, why did you move just now?”
Kisaki Eri lowered her voice, afraid of being heard, but her undisguised questioning was clearly visible.
Lu Ning stood in front of her with a playful smile on his face.
She had a slender figure, and when she leaned forward slightly, her shadow almost covered Kisaragi’s entire body.
His eyes wandered wantonly across her face, carrying a sense of aggression that made one’s heart beat faster.
“Sister Yingli, are you blaming me?”
Lu Ning said with a hint of innocence and a hint of teasing, “Who made you so attractive? How can I, a normal man, resist?”
Kisaki Eri was choked by his words, and the blush on her face deepened.
I opened my mouth and wanted to refute, but found that I couldn’t find the right words.
“you……”
Hibiki bit her lip, trying to calm herself down. “This is a public place, aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”
Lu Ning chuckled, reached out his hand, and gently lifted Fei Yingli’s chin with his slender fingers.
His movements were frivolous but also carried a kind of irresistible strength. He chuckled, “Discovered? So what? Sister Yingli, don’t you think this sneaky feeling… is more exciting?”
Fei Yingli’s heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously tried to push Lu Ning away, but found that her hands were soft and powerless.
No strength at all.
The two were so close, with a faint scent of cologne mixed with the unique masculine scent, like an invisible vine, entwining her senses.
Kisaki Eri glared at him again, trying to express her dissatisfaction with her eyes.
But those usually sharp eyes now seemed covered with a layer of mist.
Instead, it made Lu Ning smile even more.
“Lu Ning, don’t go too far…”
There was a hint of trembling in Hibiki Eri’s voice, but before she could finish her words, she was completely interrupted by Lu Ning’s next action.
Before Hibiki Eri could continue questioning, Lu Ning’s eyes suddenly changed, like a cheetah locking onto its prey.
His movements were so fast that they caught everyone off guard. He placed his hands on the wall behind Kisaki Eri, completely trapping her in his arms.
In the small compartment, the air seemed to have been sucked out, leaving only the rapid breathing of the two people.
“Sister Yingli, since you care so much about what happened just now…”
Lu Ning whispered, and every word seemed to carry warmth, burning the earlobe of Fei Yingli, “Then let me make it up to you, how about it?”
Fei Yingli’s pupils suddenly shrank, and before she could react, Lu Ning had already leaned over.
The movements were swift and precise, like a carefully planned attack, with an irresistible sense of rhythm.
Kisaki Eri’s mind was blank. The embarrassment, questioning, and even the conversation between Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko outside the bathroom had long been thrown out of her mind.
Her body tensed up involuntarily, and her hands subconsciously grabbed Lu Ning’s collar, her fingertips almost embedded in the fabric.
His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was caught in a whirlpool from which he could not escape.
Every move Lu Ning made seemed to ignite a spark in the air, hot and dangerous, making her sanity teeter on the edge.
“Lu Ning…you…”
Kisaki Eri’s voice was intermittent, with a tenderness that even she couldn’t believe.
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, filled with watery gems, sparkling with an alluring luster under the dim light.
Lu Ning laughed softly, with a hint of satisfaction: “Sister Yingli, you are much cuter like this…than when you are in court normally.”
The walls of the compartment were cold and hard, but Fei Yingli could not feel the slightest bit of coolness. Lu Ning’s breath, temperature, movements… everything was like a raging fire that completely devoured her.
Time seemed to be stretched at this moment, and every second was filled with suffocating tension.
Kisaki Eri’s eyes gradually became blurred, and she was immersed in some unspeakable emotions.
Her fingers tightened unconsciously, grabbing onto Lu Ning’s collar, searching for the last bit of support in this chaotic rhythm.
Lu Ning did not stop his actions, with a kind of satisfaction that was almost predatory.
He leaned down, his lips almost brushing against Hibiki Eri’s earlobe, and whispered, “Sister Eri, tell me…if we do this, will Xiaolan and the others hear us?”
Kisaki Eri’s body trembled violently, as if she was brought back to reality by these words.
However, Lu Ning’s smile deepened, and his movements were deliberately slowed down, with a maddening teasing tone.
“Lu Ning… stop it…”
Fei Yingli almost begged, but it made Lu Ning’s eyes even hotter.
“stop?”
Lu Ning chuckled, his voice low and hoarse, “Sister Yingli, are you sure you really want me to stop?”
Kissing Eri bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, but she found that her heartbeat had already betrayed her.
In the bathroom cubicle, the air seemed to be ignited. Every movement and every word were pushing her to the brink of losing control.
The noise outside the cafe continued, and the maids’ shouts could be faintly heard through the heavy door.
However, in this small compartment, time seems to stand still.
There was only the intertwined sounds of Lu Ning and Fei Yingli’s breathing, which was stimulating and intoxicating.
Chapter 23: Accepting a Disciple! (Old Version)
Chapter 23: Accepting a disciple!
The cafe gradually became quiet at nine o’clock in the evening. The noisy flow of customers dispersed, leaving only a few dim lights shining on the wooden floor.
The waitress dressed as a maid had already gone off work. The hall was empty, with tables and chairs neatly arranged, and the aroma of coffee lingering in the air.
As the owner of the coffee shop, Lu Ning stayed alone to count the bills, clean the place, and prepare to lock the door.
Standing at the door of the cafe, my hand just touched the pull rod of the rolling door, ready to lower it.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps mixed with shouting came from a distance, breaking the tranquility of the night.
“Hey! Don’t close the door! Wait for me!”
A sharp male voice echoed in the street, the tone was urgent, as if chasing something.
Lu Ning frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.
A figure came running under the street light, wearing a loose jacket and ripped jeans, with hair dyed an exaggerated blond color, looking like a spirited young man.
Lu Ning narrowed his eyes and felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.
He subconsciously took a step back, holding onto the door frame, and was secretly alert, thinking: Could this guy be here to rob me?
………
The energetic young man ran to the door of the cafe, panting and his face covered with sweat.
Before Lu Ning could open his mouth, the other party suddenly braked suddenly, then fell heavily to his knees with a “thump”.
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly serious, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind: Is this guy here to scam me? Or is he playing a prank?
“What are you…doing?”
Lu Ning paused and glanced at the guy kneeling on the ground with some confusion and vigilance.
The energetic young man raised his head, an almost fanatical excitement on his face.
He crossed his arms across his chest, as if afraid of losing control: “Brother! I’ve been looking for you for a long time! Please, accept me as your apprentice!”
When Lu Ning heard this, his eyes widened and he was completely stunned.
He lowered his head and remained silent, staring at the guy for a moment, trying to find some clues from his exaggerated expression.
What is going on?
I thought it was a robbery just now, how come it has become a matter of apprenticeship now?
He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and rubbed his temples, feeling that the night suddenly became a little absurd.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally let the energetic young man into the cafe.
He pulled up the shutter door and pointed to a table by the window: “Come in and talk first. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
The energetic young man quickly got up, brushed the dust off his hands, and followed Lu Ning happily.
After the two sat down, Lu Ning put his hands on his hips and glanced at him: “Tell me, who are you? Why are you kneeling down in front of me?”
The other person scratched his head and chuckled, revealing a bit of shyness: “My name is Shota, I just became an adult this year, and I was released from a juvenile detention center some time ago.”
Shota paused, looking a little flustered, and quickly added, “Brother, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a bad person! I’m just… I’m just a little excited!”
Lu Ning snorted, “Excited? So excited that you’re shouting all over the street and you’re kneeling down for me?”
Shota didn’t look threatening, on the contrary, he looked inexplicably sincere.
Xiangtai was a little anxious and nodded vigorously: “Really! Brother Lu Ning, listen to me, I have something serious to talk to you about!”
He stood up straight, his face full of seriousness, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Lu Ning leaned back in his chair, coughed awkwardly, and pretended to be calm: “Okay, stop talking nonsense.
Let’s get to the point. Why did you attack lawyer Eri Kisaki before?”
Shota’s eyes darkened and he was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past.
He pursed his lips and whispered, “Two years ago, I was arrested for robbery, and the lawyer in court was Hibiki Eri.
She…she is too powerful. The evidence she presented left me with no chance of turning the tables.
I was sentenced to two years in prison, and when I got out I wanted to take revenge on her.”
Lu Ning wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly: “So you followed her? And you want to take action?”
Shota waved his hands quickly, looking somewhat reluctant: “I didn’t really want to hurt her! I just… I was just so angry that I wanted to scare her!”
He dropped his eyes and lowered his voice, “Then you showed up and beat me up, and then I realized how stupid I was.”
Lu Ning ignored him and turned his head to look out the window. The street outside the cafe was empty, with only street lights flickering in the night.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, “Then why did you come here tonight? You don’t want revenge, do you?”
When Shota heard this, he quickly shook his head, as if he was afraid that Lu Ning would misunderstand.
A helpless expression appeared on his face:
“No, no, no! Brother Lu Ning, don’t think too much!
I came here tonight because I want to… want to be your disciple!”
Lu Ning opened his mouth in surprise and almost fell down.
He really came here to become my disciple.
Lu Ning rolled his eyes at Xiangtai, and his mouth twitched: “Become my disciple? Are you crazy?”
He recalled the joke he had made earlier – “Want to learn Kung Fu? I’ll teach you.”
I didn’t expect this kid to take it seriously.
Shota became more and more excited as he spoke, his hands resting on the table, his eyes shining like stars: “Brother, I have loved watching Kung Fu movies since I was a child!
Bruce Lee, I haven’t missed any of his movies!
When you beat me that day, I realized that your moves included Wing Chun, Baguazhang, and the Shaolin Twelve-Move Tan Leg!
So cool!
I must learn from you!”
Lu Ning sneered, feeling that it was boring: “You are quite observant.”
He turned around, facing away from Shota, wanting to put an end to this farce.
“I don’t have time to accept apprentices. You’ve got the wrong person.”
Xiangtai refused to give up, tugged at his sleeves, and pleaded: “Brother Lu Ning, I’m sincere! I know you’re powerful, teach me a few moves, I promise not to cause you any trouble!”
“I’m already kneeling, you have to give me some face…”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiangta for a moment.
Suddenly he felt that this guy was a bit interesting. His half sincere and half silly look made him laugh and cry.
Lu Ning sighed and spread his hands helplessly: “You are really a weirdo.
You actually took the joke I just said seriously?”
When Shota heard this, his face turned red and he scratched his hair, looking a little shy: “Brother, don’t laugh at me! I just think you are too strong. If I miss this opportunity, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!”
Lu Ning clapped his hands and shook his head in pretended disappointment: “Okay, put away your flattery.
I don’t have time to take on an apprentice.”
He stood up and prepared to see the guest off, but Shota grabbed the corner of the table, his eyes flickering, as if he had made some kind of decision.
“Brother, please think about it again! I don’t ask for much, just teach me one or two moves!”
Shota objected loudly, his tone full of stubbornness.
Lu Ning glared at him and said, “You are so shameless.”
After thinking for a while, he patted her shoulder gently, as if talking to himself, “But it’s not impossible to teach you a few tricks…”
When Shota heard this, he instantly straightened up and looked around, unable to believe his ears.
He nodded vigorously and grinned, “Really? Brother Lu Ning, you are so nice!”
Lu Ning snorted and waved his hand to signal him to be quiet: “Don’t get excited. Whether I will teach you or not depends on your performance.”
He looked at Shota with a hint of teasing in his eyes, “Let me make it clear first, learning Kung Fu is not as simple as watching the movies. If you’re afraid of hardship, get out of here as soon as possible.”
Shota patted his chest and vowed: “Master, I am not afraid of hardship! From today on, you are my master!”
He raised his little face, as if he had already seen his future as a kung fu master.
Lu Ning laughed helplessly and rubbed his eyes, feeling that what happened tonight was more bizarre than any other case.
Chapter 24: Gang! (Old version)
Chapter 24: Violent Group!
Shota sat down opposite Lu Ning with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face.
He put his hands on his hips, straightened up, and said seriously, “Master! I have something important to tell you! I am forming my own gang, and I want you to be the leader!”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment and almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.
He rolled his eyes at Shota and said jokingly, “Yao Gang? You?”
Lu Ning leaned back in his chair, stretched himself, and asked nonchalantly, “Tell me, how many people are there in your gang?”
Shota’s face turned red and he looked a little flustered. He stammered for a long time and lowered his head in silence.
Lu Ning wrinkled his nose and glared at him: “I’m asking you a question, don’t waste time.”
Shota scratched his hair, pretending to be calm, and stammered, “Including me… four.”
He quickly added, “But they are all my childhood friends, they are very loyal! They agreed to it just for my sake!”
Lu Ning’s mouth twitched, and he shook his head in disappointment: “Four? And a violent gang? Yours is at most a small gang club.”
Although Shota is a reckless boy, he is sincere and kind of cute.
Lu Ning was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look out the window.
The streets of Beika-cho were silent in the night, the street lights were lit alone, and occasionally a vehicle sped past.
The city appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it is turbulent with undercurrents, frequent crimes and intertwined forces.
Lu Ning thought about it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a helpless expression.
He was in Beika Town, and he knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this sinful city, relying solely on personal strength was far from enough.
Power, background, and confidants are all indispensable.
He turned his head and glanced at Shota.
Although the boy in front of him is only a “four-man gang”, his sincerity and stubbornness show that he is a talented person with great potential.
Lu Ning narrowed his eyes and the scene in the bathroom of the coffee shop emerged in his mind – Kissinger’s flushed cheeks, soft breathing, and half-hearted charm.
His heart warmed up and he thought to himself: If I want to take root in this city, a woman like Kisaki Eri will be a help, and a younger brother like Shota will be the foundation.
Cultivating a few confidants might be a good start.
Lu Ning snorted, patted his shoulder gently, and said to himself: “Four people are just four people. Even an ant is meat, no matter how small it is.”
He looked at Shota with a hint of joking, “Your gang of thugs, I’m afraid you can’t even beat the street thugs, right?”
Shota was a little anxious and nodded vigorously: “Master, don’t underestimate us! With your guidance, we will definitely achieve great things!”
He patted his chest and swore solemnly.
Lu Ning sneered, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his arms: “Okay, I promise to be your master.”
“But you are still the gang leader in public, and I provide support behind the scenes.
From now on, the four of you will come to the cafe for special training every night, and I will teach you some real skills.”
When Shota heard this, he instantly straightened up and looked around, as if he was afraid of missing every word.
He opened his mouth in surprise and grinned, “Really? Master, you are amazing!”
“I knew it was right to follow you!”
Lu Ning snorted and waved his hand to quiet him down: “Don’t get excited. Learning something requires hardship. If you’re afraid of pain, get out of here as soon as possible.”
He stood up, pushed away the chair, walked to the counter, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it and took a sip.
The figure of Kisaki Eri involuntarily appeared in my mind.
The other person was leaning against the wall of the bathroom, his cheeks flushed and his body trembling slightly.
Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: This woman is really intoxicating.
With Shota and his gang of younger brothers, they might be able to help him solve some troubles in the future and make it easier for him to be popular with women in Beika Town.
Lu Ning turned around and clapped his hands: “I will arrange the special training, but you have to be obedient, otherwise I will kick you out at any time.”
“Do you understand?”
Shota nodded vigorously, raised his little face, and said with admiration: “Understood! Master, whatever you say is what it is!”
He clenched his fists, as if he had already seen the future where he would lead a gang to dominate Beika Town.
Shota suddenly jumped up from his chair, knelt down in front of Lu Ning, and kowtowed heavily: “Master, please accept your disciple’s greetings!”
“From today on, I, Shouta, am yours!”
Lu Ning helplessly spread his hands and smiled bitterly: “You are a dramatic boy.”
He pulled Shota up and pointed to a chair, “Sit down. I have something to tell you.”
Lu Ning leaned on the counter, his expression suddenly serious, “First order: From now on, you are not allowed to cause trouble to Hibiki Eri again, do you hear me?”
Shota was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and was puzzled: “Why? She is not…”
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lu Ning glaring at him and quickly shut up, looking a little flustered.
Lu Ning snorted and turned his head away. His mind flashed again with Fei Yingli’s misty eyes, soft lips, and half-responding and coquettish look.
His heart warmed up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a bit of joking: “Hiki Eri is my woman, if you touch her, you are making things difficult for me.
Understand?”
When Shota heard this, he was stunned, as if he was shocked by these words.
He nodded vigorously and patted his chest: “I understand! Master, Lawyer Fei will be my sister-in-law in the future! I promise, whoever dares to touch her, I will be the first to beat him up!”
Shouta grinned, looking a little shy, “It turns out that Master is so powerful that he can even win over a woman like Lawyer Hime!”
Lu Ning snorted coldly and shook his head in pretended disappointment: “Stop flattering me.”
Pushing the counter open, he walked towards the door, “Go back and talk to your three childhood friends tonight and tell them to come to the coffee shop for special training at nine o’clock tomorrow night.
If you are one minute late, I will beat you up.”
Shota followed behind happily, muttering, “Master, don’t worry, we won’t be late!”
“Once we learn Kung Fu, the streets of Beika-cho will be ours!”
Lu Ning snorted and waved his hand to tell him to get out: “Go away and stop talking nonsense here.”
Pulling down the rolling shutter, the café fell into complete darkness.
In the darkness of the night, the street lights were lit alone, the streets were silent, and only the sound of Shota’s receding footsteps could be heard faintly.
The Beika Town outside the cafe was still undercurrent. Lu Ning stood inside the door, but the figure of Kisaki Eri involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Her charming look in the bathroom seemed to be engraved in his mind and could not be erased.
Lu Ning whispered softly: “This woman is really deadly.”
Chapter 25 Kudo Yukiko comes to visit! (old version)
Chapter 25 Kudo Yukiko comes to visit!
Inside the firm’s office, sunlight shines through the blinds onto the solid wood floor, casting mottled light and shadows.
File cabinets were neatly arranged, legal documents and an exquisite desk lamp were placed on the desk, and the air was filled with a faint smell of ink.
Eri Kisaki sat behind her desk, sorting out case files, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about a difficult case.
The afternoon silence was broken by a hurried knock on the door. Kudo Yukiko pushed the door open with uncontrollable excitement on her face and a gossipy heart burning in her heart.
As soon as Kudo Yukiko entered the door, she dropped her handbag and walked straight to Kisaki Eri’s desk.
She put her hands on her hips, raised her little face, and said jokingly: “Yingli, I heard something big!
What happened that day when you went to the convenience store to buy birth control pills?
Tell the truth now! “
Yukiko Kudo sat down on the corner of the table, leaning forward, her eyes full of curiosity, as if she was determined to dig out some secrets.
Kiyori was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she looked a little flustered.
He quickly pushed the documents on the table away and shook his head: “Yukiko, who are you listening to? That’s not true!”
She stood up and walked to the filing cabinet, pretending to organize some documents, trying to hide her awkwardness.
There was no way Kudo Yukiko would let her go, she snorted, tugged at her sleeves, and walked around behind Kisaki Eri: “Stop pretending!
Who told you that? I saw you sneakily buying the medicine with my own eyes that day, and you chose a time when no one was around!
I have chosen to forget it so quickly.”
Kudo Yukiko clapped her hands, with a bit of pride, “Eri, you can’t hide from my sharp eyes!
Tell me quickly, have you rekindled your love with Kogoro?
Or have you found a new love?
You didn’t make it clear at the time!”
Fei Yingli rolled her eyes at her, pretending to be calm, and snorted: “When will you change your gossiping habit?”
He turned around, leaned against the filing cabinet, crossed his arms over his chest, and tried to suppress Kudo Yukiko’s enthusiasm with a serious attitude.
But the scene in the bathroom of the coffee shop that night involuntarily emerged in his mind – Lu Ning’s hot breath, his close body, and his low whisper in his ear.
Her cheeks felt slightly hot and her heartbeat was a little out of control.
Kudo Yukiko narrowed her eyes, moved closer, and twitched her lips: “Eri, there’s something wrong with your expression!
His face turned red, there must be something fishy going on!”
He gently patted Hibiki Eri’s shoulder and said with a hint of sarcasm, “Tell me what happened. I promise not to tell anyone!”
Yukiko Kudo raised her little face and pretended to be sincere, but there were clearly sparks of gossip in her eyes.
Hibiki Eri was getting a little anxious because of her pestering. She stamped her feet and seemed a little reluctant: “Yukiko, can you please stop asking?”
She turned her head away, trying to avoid Kudo Yukiko’s questioning, but the other party did not give in. She put her hands on the filing cabinet and trapped her in the corner.
Fei Yingli sighed and spread her hands helplessly: “Okay, I’ll tell you, but you can’t laugh at me!”
Kudo Yukiko nodded vigorously and grinned, “Don’t worry, I’m very tight-lipped!”
He pulled over a chair, sat down, and pretended to listen attentively.
Kisaki Eri bit her lip and lowered her head. After a moment of silence, she said shyly, “The reason I bought medicine that day was not because of Kogoro.”
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
“I did that recently… with a young man.”
Kisaki Eri’s cheeks turned even redder, as if she was burned by her own confession. She leaned back slightly, trying to hide her embarrassment.
When Kudo Yukiko heard this, her mouth opened in surprise and she almost slipped off her chair.
She patted her chest and said with some exaggeration: “Eri! What did you say? Young man?!”
“You’re such a stuffy guy. You’re so serious all the time, but I didn’t expect you to be so playful behind the scenes!”
Kisaki Eri snorted and pretended to hit her: “Yukiko, if you keep talking nonsense, I won’t let you go!”
He waved his hand, pretending to be angry, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose with a hint of helplessness.
The image of Lu Ning flashed through her mind again – that night in the bathroom, he supported himself against the wall with his hands, trapping her, and his hot breath almost swallowed her.
The dangerous and exciting feeling still makes her heart beat faster.
Kudo Yukiko dodged for a moment, then laughed without restraint: “Eri, you are really like a wolf in your thirties and a tiger in your forties at your age! Even young people have been conquered by you!”
“Tell me quickly, who is that young man? Is he handsome? What’s his figure like?”
She raised her eyebrows, her face full of curiosity, as if she wanted to know all the details immediately.
What she said made Kisaki Eri’s face turn even redder and she looked a little flustered.
He sneered and clapped his hands, “Yukiko, that’s enough! Ask me again and I’ll kick you out!”
He turned around and continued pretending to organize the filing cabinet, but his body unconsciously tensed up.
Lu Ning’s figure lingered in her mind – the slender figure, the strong chest, and the playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
Especially that night when he whispered in her ear, “Tell me, will Xiaolan and the others hear us doing this?”
That teasing tone seemed to ignite sparks all over her body.
It made Hibiki Eri feel like she was no longer herself.
The whole person is broken.
Maybe she is a bad woman.
Kudo Yukiko snorted, stood up, and walked around to Eri Kisaki: “Don’t be shy! What’s the big deal? Women should live a wonderful life!”
He gently patted Hibiki Eri’s shoulder and said sincerely, “Honestly, Eri, you are more energetic than a 20-year-old girl!
That young man must be completely fascinated by you!”
Hibiki rolled her eyes at her, looking a little embarrassed: “You’ll get into trouble sooner or later with that mouth of yours.”
Pushing Kudo Yukiko aside, he walked towards the desk and tried to change the subject, “Okay, stop gossiping and help me look at this case file.”
Having said that.
But her heart couldn’t calm down.
Lu Ning’s movements, temperature, and breath that night seemed to be imprinted on her. Whenever she thought of them, her body would feel slightly warm.
Kudo Yukiko snorted, tugged at her sleeves, and sat back in her chair: “We’ll talk about the case file later! Eri, tell me the truth, is that young man particularly good at flirting?”
“I guess he must be handsome, have a good figure, and know how to make women fall in love with him!”
Kisaki Eri was amused by her and couldn’t help laughing. She waved her hand to quiet her down: “Yukiko, if you keep talking nonsense I’ll be really angry!”
The atmosphere in the office became more ambiguous due to Kudo Yukiko’s teasing.
The sunlight shines through the blinds and falls on Kisaki Eri’s blushing cheeks.
It was like adding a halo to her secret.
Yukiko Kudo shook her head in pretended disappointment and said with emotion: “Eri, you are such a hidden talent!”
He stood up and walked towards the door. “I’ll let you go today, but next time I will definitely find out the name of that young man!”
Fei Yingli glared at her and spread her hands helplessly: “Go away, don’t make trouble here!”
Pushing Kudo Yukiko away and closing the door, the office returned to silence.
He leaned against the door and took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart.
Lu Ning’s shadow was like a vine, entwined in her heart.
The excitement in the coffee shop bathroom that night seemed to have turned on a switch in her body, making her feel both ashamed and addicted.
Hibiki Eri murmured softly: “This man is really annoying.”
Chapter 26 Flirting with Mao Lilan! (Old version)
Chapter 26 Flirting with Mao Lilan!
The cafe welcomed a wave of customers in the afternoon, and waitresses dressed as maids shuttled between the tables, bringing bursts of laughter.
As the boss, Lu Ning sat behind the counter, wiping coffee cups and occasionally exchanging a few words with regular customers.
The air is filled with the aroma of coffee, and the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the wooden floor, casting a warm glow.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko pushed the door open and attracted a lot of attention in the store.
Especially Mao Lilan’s shrine maiden costume today. The red hakama skirt outlines her figure, and the white top makes her look pure and lively.
Lu Ning put down the coffee cup and looked at Mao Lilan’s shrine maiden costume with a bit of teasing.
“Xiaolan, your miko costume is absolutely stunning today. I can’t take my eyes off it!”
“Seriously, do you have a boyfriend?
If not, would you consider dating me?”
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she seemed a little flustered.
She rolled her eyes at Lu Ning and pretended to be calm: “Lu Ning, don’t joke like that!”
The figure of Kudo Shinichi flashed through her mind – the guy who disappeared for no reason and has not been heard from since, making her upset.
This is the thought.
Mao Lilan bit her lower lip, feeling a little annoyed.
He punched the wall next to him so hard that the business license frame on the wall shook.
“If you can survive my punch, then you can’t say such things again!”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and chuckled, not backing down at all: “Hey, Xiaolan, you are quite angry!”
“But your fist is quite flavorful.”
This pure and stubborn look was quite unique and made him feel slightly warm inside.
Mao Lilan became even more flustered when he stared at her. She turned her face away and tried to hide her shyness.
“Lu Ning, if you keep talking nonsense I’ll be really angry!”
But her cheeks became even redder, as if Lu Ning’s teasing had ignited some emotion.
Suzuki Sonoko stood aside and quickly pulled Mao Lilan and patted her shoulder gently: “Xiaolan, calm down!
Lu Ning just doesn’t speak seriously, don’t bother with him!”
After saying that, she turned around and shook her head in pretended disappointment, “Lu Ning, you always make Xiaolan angry!”
But Yuanzi’s heart was in turmoil, and she secretly complained: Why does Lu Ning only say such things to Xiaolan?
If he asked me, I would definitely agree without hesitation!
I stole a glance at Lu Ning, and his slender figure, strong chest, and playful smile appeared in my mind.
Suzuki Sonoko’s cheeks felt slightly hot. She bit her lip, suppressed her excitement, and pretended to be calm. She tugged at her sleeves and snorted, “Lu Ning, stop talking nonsense here. Be careful that Xiaolan will really beat you up!”
Lu Ning sneered, leaned back on the counter, and crossed his arms: “Yuanzi, I don’t like to hear what you said.
I call this sincerity!”
“But the way you protect Xiaolan is quite cute.”
Suzuki Sonoko’s lively and cute appearance also made him feel moved.
Yuanzi’s face turned red because of his words, and she seemed a little shy.
She clapped her hands and pretended to be angry: “Lu Ning, don’t try to change the subject! Apologize to Xiaolan!”
But Suzuki Sonoko’s heart beat faster and she thought to herself: This guy is really good at teasing!
She turned around and pretended to adjust her skirt to hide her panic.
Mao Lilan snorted and put her hands on her hips, “Sonoko, ignore him! This guy just doesn’t talk straight!”
He glared at Lu Ning, but the annoyance in his heart was slightly relieved.
Although Lu Ning’s teasing made her embarrassed and annoyed, it also made her temporarily forget the disappearance of Kudo Shinichi.
Lu Ning couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and helplessly spread his hands: “Alright, alright, I admit defeat, Xiaolan, I can’t take your punch.”
“But I still have to say, your miko costume is really very seductive.”
Just then, the phone in my pocket vibrated.
Lu Ning lowered his head and said nothing. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen.
Sure enough, the order-taking app pushed new tasks.
Lu Ning’s mouth corners slightly raised, with a bit of excitement, he thought to himself: This place called Beika Town is really always lively.
Turning around, with his back to Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, he clicked on the task details, but the figures of Kisaki Eri and Mouri Ran involuntarily emerged in his mind – one is mature and charming, the other is pure and stubborn. The women of Beika Town really have their own merits.
Mao Lilan wrinkled her nose when she saw him suddenly silent, a little puzzled: “Lu Ning, what are you doing? Are you thinking of some bad idea again?”
She crossed her arms across her chest, looking somewhat angry, but the blush on her face had not yet completely faded.
Suzuki Sonoko came over and chuckled, “Xiaolan, don’t mind him! This guy must be thinking about how to pick up girls again!”
She patted Mao Lilan’s shoulder with a bit of sarcasm, but Suzuki Sonoko was secretly expecting: It would be great if Lu Ning could look at me a little more.
Lu Ning turned around and waved his hand to quiet them down: “Okay, both of you stop arguing, I have something important to do.”
“But Xiaolan, we haven’t finished talking about the shrine maiden costume yet.
If you wear this outfit again some other time, I’ll buy you a cup of coffee, how about that? “
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows with a hint of teasing.
Mao Lilan blushed and snorted, “You wish!”
She pulled Suzuki Sonoko towards her seat, trying to hide her shyness.
Suzuki Sonoko whispered: “Lu Ning is such a charming guy…”
My cheeks felt slightly hot as I thought to myself: What would I do if he flirted with me like this?

Chapter 27 The Beautiful Police Officer on the Street
Lu Ning sat behind the counter, wiping the coffee cup, his mind still recalling the purity and stubbornness of Mouri Ran in her shrine maiden costume, and the shyness of Suzuki Sonoko when she stole a glance at him.
The mobile phone screen lit up and the order-taking app pushed a new task.
Lu Ning clicked on the task details and frowned, feeling somewhat helpless.
The mission requires stopping a retaliatory attack on traffic police by a violent group at the intersection of No. 50, 33rd Street, Beika-cho at 11:00 tomorrow morning.
“Again? Can’t you let me take a break?”
The mission location was a busy intersection, surrounded by shops and dense crowds of people. The violent group chose this place to start the operation, clearly not afraid of causing a big mess.
Lu Ning could only smile bitterly and spread his hands helplessly: “The criminals in Beihua Town are more vengeful than each other.”
The silly appearance of Shota, the “four-man violent gang”, appeared in my mind, and I secretly complained: Could it be this guy?
But he quickly shook his head and denied the speculation.
Shota’s gang of thugs are only capable of petty theft at best; how could they have the guts to attack the police?
Lu Ning shook his head helplessly: “Forget it, let’s go and see the excitement tomorrow.”
Lu Ning leaned back in his chair, stretched himself, and looked a little sarcastic.
Beika Town is indeed the city of criminals. They are either seeking revenge or on their way to revenge.
Previously, Shota followed Eri Kisaki and almost got beaten to a pulp by him;
Later, this violent group attacked the police.
Day after day, it just won’t stop.
Lu Ning’s mouth curled up slightly, thinking to himself: If I can meet a beautiful female police officer during tomorrow’s mission, this will be worth it.
I stood up, walked to the entrance of the cafe, pushed open the glass door, and the night breeze blew in, bringing a hint of coolness.
The streets of Beika-cho are brightly lit, people are hurrying by, and countless secrets are hidden.
Lu Ning snorted and muttered quietly:
“Revenge against the police?
You are quite courageous. I will see who is so arrogant tomorrow.”
The next day at noon.
Lu Ning arrived at the intersection of No. 50, Beihua Town 33rd Street on time.
The sun is shining brightly.
The streets are busy with traffic.
The roadside shops are bustling with people.
Standing at a corner of the intersection, with his hands in his pockets, he looked a little nonchalant.
There are pedestrians and vehicles coming and going around.
The air was filled with the smell of gasoline and the aroma of barbecue stalls.
Lu Ning wrinkled his nose, with a bit of impatience, thinking: Why hasn’t this violent group come yet?
It’s so hot.
He noticed a traffic policeman on duty in the middle of the intersection.
Stand tall and straight.
The uniform outlines the graceful curves.
Lu Ning narrowed his eyes: Isn’t this Officer Miyazawa?
Her short chestnut hair shone in the sunlight.
The white uniform makes her look capable and charming.
She waved the red baton in her hand with smooth movements, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Lu Ning moved closer, put his hands on his hips, and looked at Officer Miyazawa with a hint of teasing.
She had fair skin, her cheeks were slightly red from the scorching sun, and sweat oozed from her forehead, which added to her charm.
The scene of Kisaragi that night flashed through Lu Ning’s mind—her soft body pressed against the wall by him, her rapid breathing.
If this person were replaced.
Tsk tsk tsk, I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.
I quickly went to the nearby toilet to dissipate the anger in my heart.
After coming back, Lu Ning looked at Officer Gong Ze’s capable and cute appearance, which also made him fall in love.
Officer Miyazawa seemed to have sensed something, turned around, and glanced at Lu Ning with some wariness.
She bit her lower lip and seemed a little flustered, as if she was uncomfortable with Lu Ning’s gaze.
“What are you doing here? Stop making trouble!”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: “Officer Gong Ze, I am here to protect you!
I heard that a gang is looking for trouble with you.”
Lu Ning moved closer, leaning forward slightly, “Tell me, should I seize this opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty?”
Officer Miyazawa blushed, stamped his feet, and said anxiously, “Stop talking nonsense! Just stand there and don’t interfere with my work!”
Lu Ning leaned against a roadside electric pole with a slight smile on his lips. His mind could not get rid of the charm of Kisaki Eri, the stubbornness of Mouri Ran, and the competence and shyness of Officer Miyazawa today.
Waiting quietly.
Officer Miyazawa was almost frightened by Lu Ning’s gaze.
But looking at beautiful women is not against the law.
Even if you stare at it, there’s nothing you can do.
I had to treat Lu Ning as air.
Chapter 28: Encounter with Yumi, Revenge of the Gang (Old Version)
Chapter 28: Encounter with Yumi, Revenge of the Gang
Yūka-cho 3-chome 33-cho, 10:30 am.
The sunlight shines through the coffee shop’s huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm spots of light on the floor.
Lu Ning sat by the window with a cup of fragrant Blue Mountain coffee in front of him, but he had no intention of tasting it.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, fixed on the beautiful figure in the neat traffic police uniform at the intersection diagonally opposite.
Miyazawa Rie.
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
He would never mistake this name and this face.
From the fragmentary information provided by the system and his own vague memories of this world, this Officer Miyazawa should clearly be serving in Taiwan, across the strait.
How could he suddenly appear on the streets of Beika-cho, where the crime rate is alarmingly high, wearing the uniform of a local traffic police?
“The degree of integration in this Conan world is really beyond imagination…”
Lu Ning muttered to himself, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
The emergence of system tasks.
It seems like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
The ripples caused were far bigger than he had expected.
All kinds of unreasonable people and things began to appear one after another.
Lu Ning looked at his watch again. It was ten fifty.
There are still ten minutes left until the designated time for the task.
There were not many customers in the coffee shop, and soft jazz music flowed slowly in the air, creating a lazy and leisurely atmosphere.
But to Lu Ning, this tranquility was like the calm before the storm.
He could sense that a storm was about to brew at that seemingly ordinary intersection.
Rie Miyazawa stood in the middle of the intersection, standing tall and directing traffic meticulously.
Her appearance is indeed outstanding, and even in the Conan world full of beauties, she is definitely one of the best.
Her fair skin seems transparent in the sun, and her delicate facial features are flawless.
Especially those bright and determined eyes, which added a touch of heroism to her beauty.
Her movements were standard and powerful, and she did not slack off at all because she was a woman.
Next to her stood another female police officer who was also wearing a traffic police uniform. The two of them occasionally talked in a low voice, and their expressions looked quite focused.
Lu Ning’s gaze stayed on the policewoman for a few seconds.
Um?
This profile seems familiar…
But because of the distance between them and the fact that the other person was wearing a hat, he couldn’t be completely sure for a moment.
Time quietly slipped towards eleven o’clock.
Almost at the moment when the hour hand pointed to “11”, a violent and shrill roar of a motorcycle engine exploded like thunder, coming from far away and quickly tearing the tranquility of the street.
Here we come!
Lu Ning’s eyes flashed, and he leaned forward slightly, ready to rush out at any time.
There were more than a dozen heavy motorcycles that had been extremely exaggeratedly modified.
Like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, it raised a cloud of dust and roared to the intersection where Miyazawa Rie was on duty.
These motorcycles are of different colors and have ferocious shapes. They are equipped with various metal parts of unknown meaning and towering backrests. The exhaust pipes have been modified to be thicker and louder, constantly spewing out black smoke.
Riding in the front was a black Harley motorcycle with a huge body and chrome parts shining in the sun.
The rider was a young man with dyed yellow hair, a scar on his face, and a face full of flesh.
He braked suddenly, and the huge front wheel stopped almost touching Miyazawa Rie’s knees, and the strong wind blew her skirt.
A dozen or so riders following closely behind also stopped their motorcycles. They all looked ferocious, wearing leather jackets with skull or flame patterns, and various ferocious tattoos on their arms.
They surrounded the two female traffic police officers in the middle of the intersection, with undisguised malice and provocation on their faces.
“Hey! What do you want to do? Parking is prohibited here! Drive away immediately!”
After all, Miyazawa Rie is a professionally trained police officer. Although the other party is outnumbered and aggressive, she did not show any fear. Instead, she stepped forward and shouted at them harshly.
The yellow-haired young man turned off the motorcycle, took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebars, revealing an even more ferocious face.
He looked Miyazawa Rie up and down with contempt, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Hey, isn’t this the serious and responsible Officer Miyazawa? Are you still so angry today? What, you fined us brothers last time, but it wasn’t enough, you want to do it again?”
“That’s right! You stinky bitch, don’t think you take yourself seriously just because you’re wearing this leather!”
“Last time we admitted defeat, but today it won’t be so easy!”
“If you know what’s best for you, apologize to us. Otherwise…”
Another tall and thin man with a piercing on his face also joined in the commotion, his words full of threats.
The group of people ignored Miyazawa Rie’s warning and instead started driving motorcycles back and forth at the narrow intersection.
They deliberately performed dangerous actions such as burning tires and lifting their noses. The roar of the engines, the harsh sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, and their strange screams mixed together, throwing the entire intersection into chaos in an instant.
Passing vehicles were forced to stop and pedestrians dodged for fear of being affected by this group of crazy people.
“Stop your illegal behavior immediately! Otherwise we will take coercive measures!”
Miyazawa Rie’s voice trembled slightly with anger.
She gripped the baton at her waist tightly, trying to maintain her dignity as a police officer.
This group of people came for revenge, just as Lu Ning had learned through the system before.
This group of people had been holding a grudge against Miyazawa Rie because they were caught for speeding and fined heavily not long ago. Today they gathered more people, obviously intending to cause trouble.
Seeing that Miyazawa Rie was still stubborn, the gang members became even more arrogant.
“Compulsory measures? Just you two women?”
The yellow-haired young man laughed out loud, as if he had heard some great joke. “Brothers, did you hear that? This policewoman is going to take coercive measures against us!”
“Hahaha, I’m scared to death!”
“Officer Miyazawa, you are so delicate and fragile, you should go home and take care of your children instead of being an eyesore here!”
“Do you believe me and I will peel off your skin?”
All kinds of obscene words were thrown at the two female police officers like dirty water. The content became more and more unbearable to hear, full of double insults to women and police officers.
They not only insulted Miyazawa Rie, but also the female police officer next to her who had not said much.
Miyazawa Rie was so angry that her chest heaved violently, her beautiful face turned red, and the knuckles of her fingers holding the baton turned white from the force.
But she still restrained herself, trying to find possibilities for a peaceful solution or waiting for support.
However, her companions obviously did not have as much patience as she did.
“Assholes! You are a bunch of scum! How dare you openly insult law enforcement officers!”
A clear female voice shouted, drowning out the roar of the motorcycle.
The short-haired policewoman standing next to Miyazawa Rie suddenly took a step forward.
The baton in his hand was pointed at the yellow-haired young man with a “swish”.
Eyes as sharp as a knife:
“You are obstructing public service and causing trouble. Get out of the car now and put your hands on your heads!
Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”
The policewoman’s movements were clean and neat, full of vigor and power, and she had a heroic spirit that was no less capable than any man.
Lu Ning saw it all clearly in the coffee shop.
When the short-haired policewoman took a step forward and faced him, Lu Ning finally saw her full appearance.
At that moment, Lu Ning’s hand holding the coffee cup stopped in mid-air.
Yumi Miyamoto!
It turned out to be her! Yumi Miyamoto, who worked in the Traffic Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, was lively and active, keen on organizing social gatherings, and inseparable from Miwako Sato!
Lu Ning’s heart was shocked and he found it hard to believe for a moment.
How come Yumi is here with Miyazawa Rie?
Is the Metropolitan Police Department’s shift scheduling so random?
Or has the integration of this world reached such an incredible level?
Yumi’s sudden outburst obviously angered the gang members who were already on the verge of rage.
“You bitch! I’m giving you face, right?”
The yellow-haired young man’s face darkened and he smashed the helmet in his hand hard on the motorcycle tank, making a muffled sound.
“Brothers, it seems that if we don’t teach these two police officers a lesson today, they won’t know how powerful we are!”
“Go! Fuck her!”
Following the order given by the yellow-haired man, members of the surrounding gangs responded one after another and the engines roared again.
A few people even started taking things out from the back of the motorcycle or from their arms. There was a flash of cold light, and it seemed to be a weapon like a dagger or an iron rod!
The situation took a turn for the worse!
Seeing that a vicious attack on police officers was about to break out, although Yumi Miyamoto was aggressive, she was facing a dozen desperate criminals armed with weapons.
There’s no way she and Miyazawa Rie could resist it!
Lu Ning knew that he could no longer stand idly by.
The mission is to prevent the police from being attacked. Although Yumei’s appearance is an accident, it also falls within the scope of the police.
And judging from the situation, this group of violent gangs are really ready to kill!
“Really? Each one is more troublesome than the other.”
Lu Ning muttered to himself, with a helpless smile on his face.
He drank the last sip of coffee, placed the cup gently on the table, and quickly stood up.
Pushing open the glass door of the coffee shop, the hustle and bustle and tense atmosphere outside hit me.
Lu Ning straightened his collar, his eyes became sharp, and he walked quickly towards the center of the chaos.
As a five-star good citizen of Beika Town, how could he be missing from such a scene of bravery and heroism in saving the beauty?
What’s more, this is a system task and must be completed!
Today, let this group of reckless violent gang members experience what the iron fist of justice is!
Chapter 29: Five-star Good Citizen, Turning the Tide (Old Version)
Chapter 29 Five-star good citizen, turning the tide
Seeing Yumi Miyamoto pulling out her baton without showing any weakness.
It seemed as if he was going to challenge them all in a one-on-one fight. The playfulness on the faces of the gang members, who had originally only been verbally provocative and showing off their car skills, instantly disappeared, and was replaced by intense ferocity and brutality.
“Damn it! If you don’t accept my toast, I’ll punish you!”
The yellow-haired young man in the lead spat, his eyes turned sinister, “Brothers, teach these two ungrateful bitches a lesson!
Let them know what will happen to them if they mess with us!”
The words haven’t finished yet.
He suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist!
The dagger was at least twenty centimeters long, and the blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight, obviously a sharp weapon.
Seeing this, other gang members also showed their weapons.
For a moment, the situation was completely out of control!
“Clang!”
“Bang!”
The sounds of various weapons being drawn could be heard one after another.
Someone took out a wooden stick with an iron chain from a bag on the back of a motorcycle. The stick was covered with hideous iron nails.
Someone took out a long, shiny dagger and pointed the tip of the knife at the two policewomen;
Some people even directly removed the heavy steel pipes and iron bars from the frame, weighed them in their hands, and showed a cruel smile on their faces.
More than a dozen people, armed with various weapons, surrounded Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and danger.
The pedestrians and vehicles around had already been frightened and moved away, and some people even began to secretly take out their mobile phones to call the police or take pictures.
The expressions of Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi suddenly became extremely solemn.
Although they were police officers and had received certain training, they were still facing a dozen desperate criminals armed with real weapons.
Moreover, the other party was obviously seeking revenge and was at an absolute disadvantage.
Especially Yumi Miyamoto, although she has a hot temper, she only pulled out her baton in anger just now.
Seeing the other party display so many weapons at this moment, my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
But she did not retreat. Instead, she protected Miyazawa Rie behind her, holding her baton tightly and looking around vigilantly, looking for possible opportunities.
Miyazawa Rie also quickly adjusted her state. She was not frightened, but observed the situation calmly. One hand quietly reached for the communicator at her waist, ready to call for support.
“Humph! Still want to call for help?”
The sharp-eyed yellow-haired man noticed Miyazawa Rie’s little move and grinned, “Too late! No one can save you today!
Brothers, come on!
Remove their arms first!”
At the command, the two nearest gang members holding iron rods rushed towards Yumi Miyamoto with strange screams, and the iron rods in their hands made a loud sound as they hit her arms and shoulders viciously!
Miyamoto Yumi’s pupils shrank, and she subconsciously raised her baton to block, but the small baton was no match for the heavy iron rod.
At this critical moment!
A figure suddenly appeared from the side like a ghost!
“Crack!”
Two dull impact sounds and a crisp bone-breaking sound rang out almost at the same time!
The two gang members who rushed up aggressively seemed to have hit an invisible wall.
Before the iron rod in his hand fell, the whole person flew backwards at a speed faster than when he rushed up!
The arm of one of them was bent at a strange angle, and it was obvious that his bones were broken. After falling to the ground, he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
This sudden change left everyone stunned.
The members of the gang stopped and looked at the troublemaker who suddenly appeared in confusion.
Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi also widened their eyes, looking at the back of the man standing in front of them. He was not particularly tall, but seemed extremely reliable at the moment.
The person who came was Lu Ning!
He arrived quickly just now and grasped the timing perfectly. He took decisive action just before the two guys were about to attack Yumi.
Lu Ning didn’t even use any complicated moves. He just threw two simple and direct side kicks. The terrifying force contained in them instantly disabled the two unlucky guys who were in the front.
“Who?
Dare to meddle in other people’s business?
court death!”
The yellow-haired young man was stunned for a moment, then became furious.
I didn’t expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway.
“Kid, I don’t care who you are, get out of here right now, or I’ll take care of you too!”
Another guy holding a dagger also threatened viciously.
However, Lu Ning seemed not to hear their threats.
He turned around, grinned at the two frightened female police officers behind him, and said in a relaxed tone:
“Miss police officers, are you all right? It’s better to let us enthusiastic citizens handle this kind of rough work.”
The bright smile formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere before him.
Yumi Miyamoto looked at Lu Ning’s profile and suddenly felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him.
But now was obviously not the time to think about this, she said quickly: “Hurry up! They have a lot of people and weapons, it’s very dangerous!”
Miyazawa Rie also reacted and said hurriedly: “Thank you, sir! I misunderstood you before, but please leave here quickly, we have called for support!”
“Walk?”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, “Don’t worry, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs, I don’t take them seriously.”
He turned around, glanced indifferently at the dozen or so gang members in front of him, and said, “I’ll give you three seconds to put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender.
Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”
“Huh? Did I hear that correctly?”
Huang Mao seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the century, “Boy, are you fucking crazy? How dare you challenge more than a dozen of us alone?”
“Stop talking nonsense with him! Let’s attack together! Kill him!”
The gang members were completely enraged by Lu Ning’s contemptuous attitude. They no longer hesitated and attacked Lu Ning from all directions with roars!
Daggers, wooden sticks, iron rods, all kinds of weapons, with sharp sounds, attacked Lu Ning’s vital points!
Faced with such a fierce siege, Lu Ning did not dodge or evade, and even raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
The next second, he moved!
The figure disappeared from the spot in an instant like a flash of lightning!
“ah!”
“Well!”
“My hand!”
“Plop!”
Screams, groans, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came one after another, never stopping!
Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi only felt a flash before their eyes, and they couldn’t even see Lu Ning’s movements clearly.
Then I saw those violent gang members who were so arrogant just now falling down one by one like cut wheat!
Lu Ning’s figure shuttled through the crowd like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
The movements were extremely simple, without any unnecessary frills, and every punch and kick was precise and deadly.
The wrist of the person holding the dagger was broken by him, and the dagger flew out of his hand;
The man wielding the stick was hit on the neck by his knife, and fainted on the spot with his eyes rolled back;
The man swinging the iron rod was kicked in the chest by him. The sound of broken ribs could be heard clearly, and the whole person curled up on the ground twitching like a shrimp.
The whole process is so fast that it’s dizzying!
It only took a dozen seconds!
When Lu Ning stood still again, there were people lying all over the ground around him.
More than a dozen members of the violent gang who seemed so arrogant just now have now lost their fighting ability. Some of them have broken limbs or are unconscious. They are groaning in pain on the ground, and wailing everywhere.
Only the yellow-haired young man who was in the lead, who was standing at the back and had not had the chance to rush forward, was staring with his eyes wide open.
He looked at the Shura-like scene in front of him with horror, and the man who was unharmed, not even the corner of his clothes was messed up, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
Lu Ning brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands and walked slowly to the yellow-haired man.
“thump!”
The yellow-haired young man could no longer bear the huge fear. His legs went soft and he fell to his knees. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
“Big…Big Brother…Please spare us…Please spare us! We were wrong! We won’t dare to do it again!”
He kowtowed and begged for mercy incoherently, his previous arrogance long gone.
Lu Ning ignored the other party’s plea for mercy and just glanced at him indifferently.
It was not until this moment that Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi recovered from their great shock.
They stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, unable to believe their eyes.
This man who suddenly appeared actually took care of more than a dozen thugs armed with weapons with his bare hands in such a short time?
What kind of strength is this?! It’s too strong to be human!
“Just now…just now…thank you…”
Yumi Miyamoto was the first to react and hurried forward with a slight stutter and incredible gratitude.
Miyazawa Rie followed closely behind, looking at Lu Ning with eyes filled with complex emotions, shock, gratitude, and a hint of curiosity.
“Sir, thank you so much for your help! If it weren’t for you, we might have been…”
“It’s just a small favor.”
Lu Ning waved his hand, his face regaining that harmless smile. “Seeing this kind of bullying of a weak woman, and two beautiful police officers at that, as a five-star good citizen, how can I just sit back and watch?”
“Puff…”
Hearing Lu Ning’s words, Miyamoto Yumi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and the tension and fear she had just felt dissipated a lot.
This guy is quite good at talking.
“You helped us a lot anyway!”
Miyazawa Rie said solemnly, “Once we have dealt with these guys, we will definitely treat you to a nice meal to express our gratitude!
By the way, I don’t know your name, sir? Can you please leave me your contact information? “
Miyamoto Yumi also nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes! You must leave your number! It’s my treat! No, we treat together!”
Her eyes looking at Lu Ning also became bright, full of curiosity and admiration.
“My name is Lu Ning.”
Lu Ning gave his name and after thinking for a while, he gave them his phone number. “As for eating, that’s not necessary. This is really what a five-star citizen should do.”
After saying that, he waved his hand casually, without taking away a cloud, and turned to walk towards the coffee shop.
Hiding one’s merits and fame!
Only Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi were left, looking at his departing back and the gang members wailing on the ground. They looked at each other, unable to calm down for a long time.
Who is this man named Lu Ning?
Chapter 30: The Ambiguity in the Cafe, Sonoko’s Shyness (Old Version)
Chapter 30: The ambiguity in the cafe, Sonoko’s shyness
Lu Ning waved goodbye to the two female police officers who were still standing there in a daze, turned around and walked leisurely back to the coffee shop on the corner.
The brief and intense conflict just now was just a warm-up exercise for him, and he didn’t even break a sweat.
Getting rid of that group of blind violent gangs not only completed the system task, but also allowed me to show off my strength in front of the two beautiful police officers. It felt pretty good.
Back to the maid cafe.
When I pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop, the wind chimes made a crisp sound.
There were still not many customers in the store. The soothing music and the rich aroma of coffee intertwined together, forming a sharp contrast with the tense and chaotic scene outside just now.
He saw a girl wearing the Teitan High School uniform, the signature headband and a good figure sitting not far from him.
The girl was wearing a furry pink rabbit ear hair accessory on her head, which made her look playful and cute.
What made Lu Ning feel even more interesting was that the girl seemed to have been observing him secretly.
When his eyes swept over, the girl lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit, pretending to look at the menu on the table.
But those big, lively eyes would occasionally look up at him, and her cheeks would be tinged with a suspicious blush.
Lu Ning recognized the girl.
Suzuki Sonoko!
The second daughter of the Suzuki Group, the best friend of Mao Lilan, a girl with a carefree personality, a little bit of a nymphomaniac, but a kind hearted girl.
Lu Ning looked at her with interest.
I have to say that Suzuki Sonoko does not have the healthy beauty of a karate champion like Xiaolan.
She doesn’t have the charm of a mature woman like Rie Miyazawa or Miwako Sato, but she has the cuteness and youthful vitality of a rich girl.
And the look of sneaking glances at this moment with a hint of shyness and curiosity has a unique and touching flavor.
Especially the pair of pink bunny ears, which swayed gently with the slight movement of her head, adding a bit of indescribable temptation.
Lu Ning’s heart moved, and he picked up his cup of coffee which was already a little cold, walked over slowly, and sat directly opposite Suzuki Sonoko.
It seemed that she did not expect Lu Ning to suddenly come over and sit directly opposite her. Suzuki Sonoko was startled and the menu in her hand fell on the table with a slight sound.
Her cheeks instantly turned redder, like ripe apples, her eyes were flustered and she didn’t dare to look directly at Lu Ning.
“Um…I…I was just passing by…come in for a cup of coffee…”
Suzuki Sonoko explained incoherently, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
Looking at her helpless, shy and cute appearance, Lu Ning’s smile became even more intense.
He deliberately leaned forward slightly to close the distance between them.
He looked into her evasive big eyes with a hint of amusement.
She lowered her voice and asked in a magnetic tone: “Sonoko-san, you have been secretly looking at me here. Could it be that… you have fallen in love with me?”
The voice was very soft, but it reached Suzuki Sonoko’s ears clearly.
“boom!”
Suzuki Sonoko felt like a bomb was dropped into her head, and everything went blank in an instant!
A stream of heat rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her entire face and neck become scorching hot!
Like him?
Yes…is that so?
From the first time she saw this handsome and somewhat mysterious manager in the maid cafe, her heart began beating uncontrollably.
Suzuki Sonoko had indeed been peeking at him, imagining all sorts of possibilities…
But she never expected that Lu Ning would see through her thoughts so directly!
Being teased like this in front of the person she liked, Suzuki Sonoko felt ashamed and embarrassed, with a hint of indescribable joy and panic.
Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously wanted to refute and deny, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t utter a word.
She could only purse her lips tightly, lower her head, and nervously twist the corners of her clothes with her hands. The pair of pink rabbit ears were trembling slightly because of her owner’s nervousness. Her cheeks were so red that they almost bled, and even the roots of her ears turned an attractive pink.
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko’s innocent and shy look, Lu Ning immediately became interested.
It was just a casual joke, but I didn’t expect Miss Suzuki’s reaction to be so big and so pure.
It seems that my previous guess was almost right.
How interesting!
Lu Ning looked around. They were the only two people in the coffee shop at the moment. The waiter was tactful and stayed behind the bar, not coming over to disturb them.
This is a great opportunity.
His eyes became deeper, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an even more charming arc.
He leaned forward again, almost close to Suzuki Sonoko’s ear, and the warm breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe intentionally or unintentionally, making her involuntarily shrink her neck and her body tremble slightly.
Lu Ning whispered softly in her ear in an extremely gentle, yet unmistakably charming voice:
“Garden…”
The voice was low and sexy, like the whisper of lovers. Every word seemed to carry an electric current, instantly hitting the softest place in Suzuki Sonoko’s heart.
“actually……”
Lu Ning deliberately paused for a moment, feeling the girl’s increasingly rapid breathing and increasingly hot body temperature in front of him.
“I like you, too.”
“!!!”
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Ning who was so close to her in disbelief.
He…what did he say?
Does he like himself too?
This…is this true?
Is she dreaming?!
The huge surprise and shock caused her brain to crash again. She could only stare blankly at Lu Ning’s handsome face, feeling the undisguised admiration and heat in his eyes.
Lu Ning looked at her pink lips that were slightly opened due to shock, and her charming eyes that were watery with excitement, and his Adam’s apple rolled unconsciously.
He leaned in closer again, his lips almost touching her cute little ears, and said word by word in an almost bewitching tone:
“Be my girlfriend, okay?”
“Date me, Sonoko.”
The low request, like a magical spell, kept echoing in Suzuki Sonoko’s ears and heart.
The ambiguous atmosphere grew and expanded wildly between the two of them, and the air seemed to become sticky and hot…
Chapter 31 Storm in the Lounge! (Old Version)
Chapter 31 Storm in the Lounge!
“Garden.”
Lu Ning’s voice was not loud.
But it has a penetrating power that cannot be ignored.
“What I just said.
How are you thinking about it?”
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised her head.
Like a frightened deer.
Meeting Lu Ning’s eyes as deep as a pool.
My heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
A blush quietly crept up her cheeks.
Lu Ning has that unique, slightly aggressive masculine aura.
It made her feel inexplicably nervous and… anticipatory?
“I…I…”
Suzuki Sonoko hesitated.
My head is in a mess.
What Lu Ning said just now was too straightforward and bold.
It was completely beyond her previous understanding.
She came from a privileged background.
There is never a shortage of suitors around me.
But an “invitation” like Lu Ning’s is so direct and powerful.
This is the first time I’ve encountered this.
This made Suzuki Sonoko feel ridiculous.
And I felt a little excited.
Looking at Suzuki Sonoko’s confused and somewhat naive look.
The corners of Lu Ning’s mouth curled up in a playful arc.
He knew it was about time.
Dealing with this young lady who has never experienced any storms.
Sometimes you just need to be a little strong and unquestionable.
“It seems you haven’t thought it through yet.”
Lu Ning’s tone was flat.
But it carries a meaning that cannot be refused.
“It doesn’t matter.
Come with me.
I’ll give you a place to think quietly.”
After saying.
He no longer gave Suzuki Sonoko a chance to hesitate.
Just reach out your hand.
He gently held her wrist.
Suzuki Sonoko only felt a warm and strong touch on her wrist.
As if carrying an electric current.
It made her shudder slightly.
Subconsciously trying to break free.
But he found that the opponent’s strength was not great.
But it’s full of cleverness.
She couldn’t resist at all.
What’s more.
Deep down.
There didn’t seem to be any real desire to resist.
that’s all.
Under the slightly surprised gazes of the other employees and a few customers in the cafe.
Lu Ning was holding Suzuki Sonoko’s hand.
Walked to the staff lounge at the back of the cafe.
Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head.
My heart is beating like a drum.
I can feel the gazes from all around me.
She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
But the hand that Lu Ning was holding.
But she felt a strange sense of security and… a sense of excitement that made her feel flustered.
My head is empty.
Completely lost the ability to think.
I can only passively follow Lu Ning’s footsteps.
The door of the lounge closed gently with a click.
Isolated from all the noise and sight of the outside world.
The room is not big.
The furnishings are simple.
A wooden bed against the wall.
A wardrobe.
A small table.
There was a faint smell of dust in the air.
There was also a hint of Lu Ning’s more distinct masculine scent.
Lu Ning let go of Suzuki Sonoko’s wrist.
Lock the door behind you.
The crisp sound of the lock closing.
It was like a heavy hammer hitting Suzuki Sonoko’s heart.
It gave her a sudden shock.
I regained some clarity of mind.
“What…what are you going to do?”
Suzuki Sonoko took a step back.
With a barely perceptible tremor.
Looking at Lu Ning warily.
Lu Ning turned around.
There was a half-smile on his face.
Approaching her step by step.
His eyes are deep.
With the aggression of a hunter locking onto his prey.
It made Suzuki Sonoko feel dry in the mouth.
“I did.
I appreciate your candor.”
Lu Ning’s voice is deep and magnetic.
Echoing in the small space.
“Since you have an idea in your mind.
Just lacking a little courage.
Then I will help you.”
He didn’t stop.
Soon Suzuki Sonoko was forced into a corner.
Suzuki Sonoko’s back was pressed against the cold wall.
There is no way to retreat.
She could clearly feel the heat coming from Lu Ning.
And the feeling of pressure that makes my heart beat faster.
Suzuki Sonoko swallowed nervously.
He clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands helplessly.
“You…you don’t mess around…”
The sound is as thin as a mosquito.
With a crying voice.
But it sounds more like an invitation that is half-heartedly accepted.
Lu Ning leaned down.
With both hands on the wall beside Suzuki Sonoko’s head.
He trapped her completely between himself and the wall.
The distance between the two was very close.
Breathing intertwined.
Lu Ning could even see Suzuki Sonoko’s long eyelashes trembling slightly because of nervousness.
And the pink color on her fair neck due to the accelerated blood flow.
“Mess around?”
Lu Ning chuckled.
Warm breath sprayed on Suzuki Sonoko’s face.
She couldn’t help but shrink her neck.
“I just want to give you a chance to…think clearly.”
His eyes swept across Suzuki Sonoko’s delicate features aggressively.
Finally, it stopped at her lips, which were slightly opened due to nervousness and had a moist luster.
Next second.
No more hesitation.
He bent his head and kissed her.
“Hmm!”
Suzuki Sonoko widened her eyes in astonishment.
My brain went blank in an instant.
This was totally beyond her expectations!
Suzuki Sonoko could clearly feel the warmth and softness of Lu Ning’s lips.
And that exploration with a hint of dominance.
A strong, unfamiliar feeling that I had never experienced before instantly swept through my body like an electric current.
It made her feel weak all over.
Could barely stand.
Suzuki Sonoko subconsciously wanted to push the other person away.
But the hands were just raised.
Lu Ning easily grasped it with one hand.
It was clipped behind the back.
The absolute gap in power.
All her struggles seemed futile.
This kiss.
With unquestionable strength and possessiveness.
Suzuki Sonoko felt as if the world was spinning around her.
Difficulty breathing.
It was as if all the strength in my body had been drained.
You can only let the other party take whatever they want.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Until Suzuki Sonoko felt she was about to suffocate.
Lu Ning just slightly moved away from her lips.
But the distance between them was still close enough that they could feel each other’s heartbeat.
Suzuki Sonoko was breathing heavily.
His eyes were blurred.
Her cheeks were so red that they looked like they were going to bleed.
My consciousness is still a little fuzzy.
The impact of that deep kiss just now was too great.
It made her unable to recover for a while.
Lu Ning looked at her confused and naive appearance.
There was a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.
Suzuki Sonoko was not given much chance to breathe.
He picked her up by the waist.
He turned and walked towards the wooden bed which didn’t look very sturdy.
“Let…let me go…”
Suzuki Sonoko struggled symbolically twice.
But the voice was soft.
It feels strange to be held in Lu Ning’s arms.
The strong arms gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.
But at the same time, it also foreshadows what might happen next, something that makes her both afraid and secretly looking forward to.
Lu Ning gently placed her on the wooden bed.
The bed board bears the weight.
A groaning “creak” was heard.
Suzuki Sonoko was lying on the bed.
Looking at Lu Ning who was looking down at her.
My heart beat faster.
I curled up subconsciously.
His hands clutched the bed sheets beneath him tightly.
His eyes were filled with panic and a hint of resignation.
“Now.
You can think about it.”
There was a hint of teasing in Lu Ning’s voice.
His fingers gently brushed across her sweaty hair.
Chapter 32 Strange! (Old version)
Chapter 32 Strange!
When the door of the lounge was opened again.
The sky outside was beginning to turn slightly westward.
Suzuki Sonoko was almost holding on to the wall.
He walked out step by step.
My legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Still shaking slightly uncontrollably.
The blush on her face was more intense than before.
With a kind of decadent feeling.
The laziness and charm afterward.
His eyes were still somewhat dazed.
It was as if he had not yet completely recovered from the fierce storm just now.
Although the clothes on his body were still neat.
But if you look closely, the neckline is a little messy and the hem of the skirt is wrinkled, silently telling what happened not long ago.
Take a few deep breaths.
Force yourself to cheer up.
I fixed my hair and clothes, trying to make myself look normal.
But the fatigue and strange feeling that came from deep in my bones could not be concealed.
Ran Mouri, who had been busy in the front hall, was carrying an empty cup to the bar to wash it when she ran into Suzuki Sonoko who was walking out from the lounge.
“Garden?”
Mao Lilan looked at her friend who looked obviously abnormal.
I couldn’t help but stop, my face full of surprise and worry.
“What’s wrong with you?
Why is your face so red?
And…you look very tired.
Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Ran Mouri’s sharp eyes swept over Suzuki Sonoko.
Noticed her dishevelled collar and unnatural gait.
The doubts in my heart deepened.
Being stared at so closely by Mao Lilan.
Suzuki Sonoko’s heart suddenly started to panic.
His eyes subconsciously avoided.
What she least wanted to face now was Xiaolan’s clear and pure eyes.
Eyes that seem to see through everything.
“No…nothing.
Xiaolan.
I’m really fine.”
Suzuki Sonoko forced a smile.
The voice sounded a little weak.
With a barely perceptible hoarseness.
“Are you really okay?”
Mao Lilan obviously didn’t believe it.
He took a step forward and reached out to touch Suzuki Sonoko’s forehead.
“You look really bad, do you have a fever? Shall I take you to the hospital?”
“No, no!”
Suzuki Sonoko was like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
He took a step back suddenly, avoiding Mao Lilan’s hand.
“I…I’m just a little tired. I just need to rest for a while.”
This is an overreaction.
This further deepened Mao Lilan’s suspicion.
“Where on earth did you go just now?
I looked for you for a while but couldn’t find you. “
Mao Lilan asked.
His eyes were fixed on Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko knew she had to give an explanation.
Otherwise, given Xiaolan’s personality, she would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Her mind raced.
He used the same excuse again.
It’s just that this time it was explained in a little more detail.
Trying to add credibility.
“I…didn’t I say I felt sick in my stomach before?”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes were wandering, not daring to look directly at Mao Li Ran, “Maybe the sandwich I had at noon was not fresh enough, I suddenly had diarrhea just now, so I ran to the toilet and stayed there for a long time.
You know that too.
Having a stomachache is very tiring.
That’s why I feel so tired now.”
She said, holding her stomach with her hands.
Trying to make his performance look more realistic.
“To the bathroom?”
Mao Lilan heard this explanation.
The confusion on his face became even more serious.
She tilted her head.
His eyes were full of confusion.
Pointing in the direction behind Suzuki Sonoko:
“But Sonoko, you clearly came from over there, that’s… the lounge, right?
The toilet is not here.”
Mao Lilan remembers the layout of the cafe clearly.
The lounge and toilet are in completely opposite directions.
If Yuanzi really went to the toilet.
Why did you come out from the lounge?
Moreover, even if you have a stomachache.
It won’t make your clothes so messy.
Her face was flushed, like…
It’s like I just finished some strenuous exercise.
“Well……”
Suzuki Sonoko was left speechless by Mori Ran’s direct question.
A trace of panic flashed across his face.
I never expected that I would make up a lie in a hurry.
Xiaolan found the flaw so quickly.
“I… I am…”
His eyes flickered even more.
My mind went blank.
I have absolutely no idea how to cover up the lie.
Seeing my friend’s obvious guilty look.
The appearance of speaking incoherently.
Mao Lilan’s doubts reached a peak.
No further questions were asked.
But those clear eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of worry.
What is Sonoko hiding?
Why doesn’t she dare to tell the truth?
In the past hour or so.
She was in the lounge…what on earth was going on?
One question after another, like vines, entangled in Mao Lilan’s heart.
Let Mao Lilan look at the person in front of her who grew up with her.
But at this moment, he seems like a very strange friend.
I fell into deep confusion.
Mao Lilan vaguely felt that something seemed to be changing quietly.
The next morning, Lu Ning stretched, washed up quickly and prepared to go out.
Yesterday, we prevented a gang from attacking two beautiful traffic policewomen, Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi. Although the process was easy, we still needed to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a statement according to the procedure.
Walking out of the cafe, the sun is shining brightly.
Lu Ning squinted his eyes, adjusted to the light, and then walked towards the Metropolitan Police Department.
The streets of Beika-cho are as “peaceful” as ever, except for the occasional patrol police car, which reminds people that this is not a true paradise.
Chapter 33 Metropolitan Police Department Inquiry (Old Version)
Chapter 33 Metropolitan Police Department Inquiry
Before long, the iconic building of the Metropolitan Police Department appeared before our eyes.
Lu Ning looked up, took a deep breath, and walked in.
The interior of the Metropolitan Police Department is much busier than expected. Police officers are coming and going in a hurry, most of them with serious expressions on their faces.
Lu Ning looked around and was soon attracted by something posted on the wall on one side of the hall.
It was a huge wall of wanted posters.
It is densely covered with photos and information of various wanted criminals, ranging from murder to robbery, from theft to fraud, all kinds of criminals are included.
Every face looked grim or gloomy.
The reward amounts marked below the photos are also different, some are as high as tens of millions, while others are only tens of thousands.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s really worthy of being called Beika Town.”
Lu Ning stared at the photos for a moment and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
I had heard before that the crime rate in Beika Town was ridiculously high. Today, when I saw this “wall of sin” with my own eyes, I truly realized that the name “crime city” is not undeserved.
He even wondered, if his order-taking app issued a task to capture these wanted criminals, would the reward be more generous than other tasks issued by the system?
Just as Lu Ning was sighing to himself, two familiar figures came into his sight.
“Mr. Lu Ning!”
A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
Lu Ning turned his head and saw two beautiful police officers, Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi, walking towards him quickly with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
Rie Miyazawa was wearing a neat police uniform today, which perfectly outlined her beautiful figure. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look heroic.
Yumi Miyamoto is still wearing the traffic police uniform. Her short hair makes her look playful and cute, and her big eyes are blinking and full of energy.
“Good morning, Mr. Lu Ning!”
Yumi Miyamoto ran to Lu Ning first, raised her little face, and greeted him with a smile.
If Lu Ning had not acted in time yesterday, she and Lihui would have been in trouble, so she was very grateful to Lu Ning.
“Good morning, Officer Miyamoto, Officer Miyazawa.”
Lu Ning smiled slightly and responded.
Seeing these two beautiful policewomen again, his mood improved a lot.
“Mr. Lu Ning, are you here to take a statement?”
Miyazawa Rie walked closer and asked in a gentle tone, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
Lu Ning’s god-like performance yesterday really left a deep impression on her.
“Yes, cooperating with the police is the duty of good citizens.”
Lu Ning shrugged and said easily.
“Mr. Lu Ning is so modest. If it weren’t for you yesterday, we would have been in danger.”
Yumi Miyamoto put her hands on her hips and said with some fear, “Those gang members are so despicable!”
Lu Ning waved his hand, seeming a little indifferent.
For him, dealing with those gang members was really not a big deal.
“By the way, Mr. Lu Ning,”
Miyazawa Rie seemed to have remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she invited enthusiastically, “To thank you for your help yesterday, we would like to invite you to have dinner with us tonight. Do you have time?”
Yumi Miyamoto also nodded vigorously, looking at Lu Ning with anticipation.
Faced with the cordial invitation from the two beautiful police officers, Lu Ning felt a little tempted.
Having dinner with a beautiful woman is a rare opportunity.
However, after thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly.
“Thank you very much for your invitation, but I’m afraid I can’t do it tonight.”
Lu Ning showed an apologetic expression, “I have an appointment with someone tonight, and I want to teach them some ‘Kung Fu’.”
The “Kung Fu” he mentioned naturally refers to the promise he made to Shota and the other four guys to teach them some self-defense skills and complete the task of publishing the App at the same time.
“Teach Kung Fu?”
Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi looked at each other and opened their mouths in surprise.
“Yeah, a few friends wanted to learn some self-defense skills, and I agreed.”
Lu Ning explained.
“I see…”
Miyazawa Rie’s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible disappointment, but she still said politely, “That’s really unfortunate.
It doesn’t matter, we’ll make an appointment next time if we have the chance.”
Miyamoto Yumi wrinkled her nose, pretended to be disappointed and said, “I thought I could have dinner with a handsome guy.”
When Lu Ning heard her mumbling, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he found it a little funny.
He patted Yumi Miyamoto’s shoulder gently and said, “I’ll definitely do it next time, I’ll definitely do it next time.”
Yumi Miyamoto blushed at his intimate gesture, and she dodged for a moment and ignored him.
Seeing this, Miyazawa Rie came out to smooth things over and said, “Okay, let’s go and take notes first, so as not to delay Mr. Lu Ning’s work.”
Lu Ning nodded and followed the two beautiful police officers towards the interrogation room.
When passing by the wanted wall, he took another glance at it, and his understanding of the dangerousness of this world deepened.
Beika Town is indeed not a peaceful place.
Lu Ning clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he must improve his strength as soon as possible so that he could better survive in this dangerous world and protect the people he cared about.
Chapter 34: The Beautiful Police Officer Wants to Learn Kung Fu (Old Version)
Chapter 34 The Beautiful Police Officer Wants to Learn Kung Fu
The interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department is simply decorated with a table, a few chairs, and monotonous white walls.
Lu Ning sat on a chair, opposite him sat two beautiful police officers, Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi. The person in charge of taking notes was a young male police officer with a serious expression.
The recording process was not complicated. It was nothing more than repeated questioning about what happened with the violent gang yesterday afternoon.
Lu Ning answered the questions cooperatively, describing how he “happened” to pass by, how he saw members of the gang trying to attack the two police officers, and how he “heroically” came to their aid.
Of course, he downplayed the details of how he easily dealt with those thugs, saying only that he used some “cleverness” and “fighting skills.”
However, in between answering questions, Lu Ning’s gaze always unconsciously drifted towards the two beautiful police officers opposite him.
Miyazawa Rie sat upright, listening carefully to Lu Ning’s statement, occasionally lowering her head to write something down, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and the outline of her profile was soft and charming.
Her police uniform was ironed meticulously, highlighting her curvy figure. The collar was slightly open, revealing her fair neck, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Yumi Miyamoto was relatively lively. She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Lu Ning with her big eyes without blinking, as if she was full of curiosity about his “heroic deeds”.
Her short hair swayed gently as her head shook, and there was always a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, exuding the breath of youth.
Lu Ning’s eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, not hiding his admiration.
He looked at Miyazawa Rie’s focused expression, and then glanced at Miyamoto Yumi’s lively eyes, which were full of amusement and inquiry.
At first, the two beautiful police officers didn’t take it too seriously, thinking that Lu Ning was just thinking about something.
But as time went on, Lu Ning’s gaze became more and more “insolent”, making both of them feel a little uncomfortable.
Miyazawa Rie was fine, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes flickered a little, and she gently tugged at her sleeves, trying to hide her unnaturalness.
But Yumi Miyamoto was not so calm. She glared at Lu Ning at first, and when she found that he showed no restraint, she finally couldn’t help it.
She pretended to be angry, put her hands on her hips, and asked, “Hey! What are you looking at?”
Although her tone was filled with anger, there was a barely perceptible hint of shyness and anticipation deep in her eyes.
When the male police officer in charge of recording heard this, his mouth twitched. He looked up at Lu Ning, then lowered his head and continued to write quickly, with an expression that said, “I saw nothing, I heard nothing.”
When asked by Miyamoto Yumi, Lu Ning was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled, leaned back on the chair, spread his hands, and admitted openly: “Look at the beauty.”
“you!”
When Yumi Miyamoto heard this, her face turned red like a ripe apple.
She didn’t expect Lu Ning to be so direct. She didn’t know what to say for a moment. She could only stamp her feet, snorted, turned her head away and stopped looking at him, but she felt a little secretly happy in her heart for no reason.
Miyazawa Rie was also a little amused by Lu Ning’s straightforward answer. She turned her head, bit her lip lightly, and whispered, “Mr. Lu Ning, please answer the question seriously.”
“I’m serious,”
Lu Ning spread his hands with an innocent expression, “Appreciating beauty is also a very serious attitude.
The two police officers are naturally beautiful, it’s hard to resist them, it’s only natural for me to take a few more glances at them, right?”
These words left the two beautiful police officers completely speechless.
They looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness and embarrassment in each other’s eyes, as well as a little bit of joy caused by being praised.
After all, what woman doesn’t like to be praised for her beauty by a handsome guy?
The atmosphere of the transcript became somewhat subtle and ambiguous because of this little episode.
Miyazawa Rie cleared her throat and brought the topic back on track, but her tone was obviously much softer.
She looked at Lu Ning and asked curiously, “Mr. Lu Ning, I saw how skilled you were yesterday. You easily subdued so many gang members by yourself. You were amazing.
Have you practiced any special Kung Fu?”
“I guess so. I learned some self-defense skills.”
Lu Ning answered modestly.
“Really?”
Miyazawa Rie’s eyes lit up, and her body leaned forward involuntarily, with a hint of desire, “Then… can you teach me? I also want to learn!
People in our line of work often encounter danger, and it would be great if I could be as good as you.”
Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Yumi, who was standing next to him, immediately turned around and nodded vigorously in agreement, “Yes, yes!
Mr. Lu Ning, please teach us! We really want to learn! “
Looking at the expectant eyes of the two beautiful policewomen, Lu Ning’s heart moved.
Teach beautiful women Kung Fu?
This is a great opportunity to enhance relationships!
Moreover, maybe it can trigger some system tasks?
His eyes rolled and he readily agreed.
“Want to learn?”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and showed a charming smile, “No problem, if you want to learn, I will teach you!”
“Really?!”
Miyazawa Rie and Miyamoto Yumi exclaimed in unison, surprise written all over their faces.
“Of course it’s true,”
Lu Ning patted his chest and said, “As long as the two beautiful police officers don’t despise me as a half-baked master, it will be fine.”
“Very good!”
Miyamoto Yumi clapped her hands happily, “So when do we start learning?”
“Well…”
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about it when we have a chance. I might be a little busy recently.”
He has to complete the mission for Shota and his gang first.
Although they were not able to learn Kung Fu immediately, the two beautiful policewomen were already satisfied after receiving Lu Ning’s affirmative response.
The subsequent transcription process became smoother and more pleasant.
Soon, the transcript was completed.
The male police officer in charge of recording took the transcript and left the interrogation room with a sense of relief. Before leaving, he looked at Lu Ning meaningfully, his eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Just then, Yumi Miyamoto’s communicator rang.
After she answered the phone, her expression suddenly became serious, and she said to Miyazawa Rie: “Rie, I have a temporary mission here, I have to leave first!”
“Okay, be careful.”
Miyazawa Rie warned.
Yumi Miyamoto smiled apologetically at Lu Ning, waved her hand, and left in a hurry.
Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie were the only ones left in the interrogation room. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and a little more ambiguous.
“Mr. Lu Ning, the record has been completed. Shall I take you back?”
Miyazawa Rie took the initiative to suggest, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
“Then I’ll trouble Officer Miyazawa.”
Lu Ning did not hesitate and gladly accepted the beauty’s kindness.
The two walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department side by side and got into Miyazawa Rie’s police car.
The car started slowly and drove away from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Lu Ning sat in the passenger seat, looking at the street scenes passing by outside the window, and was in a good mood.
Today, not only did I successfully complete the record-taking, but I also got closer to the two beautiful police officers and even got the opportunity to teach them Kung Fu. It can be said that I gained a lot.
At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly remembered something and his eyes darkened.
He slapped his head hard and said to himself, “I almost forgot!”
“What’s wrong, Mr. Lu Ning?”
Miyazawa Rie, who was driving, heard the noise and asked in confusion.
“nothing,”
Lu Ning shook his head, but a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “I remembered that there is an important thing I haven’t done yet.”
As he said that, he immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen skillfully, and clicked on a familiar App icon – it was the magical order-taking App!
He quickly found the previously released task of “Stop the attack by violent groups and protect the beautiful traffic policewoman” and saw that the task status was displayed as “Waiting for reward”, so he clicked it without hesitation.
【Mission accomplished! 】
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the mission reward: a luxury sports car (random brand)! ]Almost at the moment he clicked “Complete”, a prompt indicating that the task was completed popped up on the App interface. Then, a new system message popped up, informing him that he had won a luxury car reward!
“A luxury sports car?”
Lu Ning widened his eyes and felt ecstatic.
I didn’t expect the reward for this mission to be so awesome!
Previously the system rewarded him with a maid cafe, and now it rewarded him with a luxury car!
This order-taking app is simply his Aladdin’s lamp!
Lu Ning pretended to be calm and put away his phone, but he was unable to calm down his inner excitement.
He turned his head and looked at Miyazawa Rie who was driving seriously, with a cunning light in his eyes.
Maybe… this luxury car as a reward can be put to unexpected use?
Chapter 35 Warehouse Tutorial, Unexpected Kiss (Old Version)
Chapter 35 Warehouse Teaching, Unexpected Kiss
The police car was driving smoothly on the streets of Beika Town, but the atmosphere inside the car was not as calm as the driving situation.
Lu Ning had just received the luxury sports car rewarded by the system and was extremely excited. Although Miyazawa Rie was concentrating on driving, the occasional glances she gave Lu Ning were filled with inquiry and subtle affection.
The car soon arrived near Lu Ning’s maid cafe.
The cafe had not yet opened for business and seemed a little quiet.
Miyazawa Rie slowly parked the car in front of the coffee shop, turned to look at Lu Ning, and said with a smile: “Mr. Lu Ning, I’ve taken you here.”
“Thank you, Officer Miyazawa.”
Lu Ning unbuckled his seat belt but did not get out of the car immediately.
He glanced at the closed door of the cafe, then looked at the heroic and beautiful policewoman beside him, and suddenly a bold idea popped into his mind.
Lu Ning’s eyes darkened, and he said to Miyazawa Rie, “Officer Miyazawa, I think it’s getting late now.”
“Hmm? What’s the matter, Mr. Lu Ning?”
Miyazawa Rie looked at him with some confusion, not understanding what he wanted to say.
Lu Ning pointed at the coffee shop, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: “Don’t you want to learn Kung Fu? Why not start now?”
“Now?”
Miyazawa Rie opened her mouth in surprise, obviously not expecting Lu Ning to suddenly make this suggestion.
She looked at the coffee shop, then at Lu Ning, and hesitated.
Now is the end of working hours, and there is indeed some free time.
Moreover, he was indeed very curious and yearning for Lu Ning’s kung fu.
“I’ll teach you in the warehouse of the cafe,”
Lu Ning saw her hesitation and continued, “It’s big enough there, and there’s no one there right now, so you won’t be disturbed.”
Miyazawa Rie thought about it and felt that learning self-defense was indeed necessary for her, and it was a rare opportunity to learn from such a powerful master like Lu Ning.
What’s more, I can have more opportunities to be alone with him…
Thinking of this, her cheeks slightly blushed, and she finally nodded vigorously and agreed: “Okay! Then I’ll trouble Mr. Lu Ning!”
“With pleasure.”
Lu Ning chuckled and pushed the door open first to get out of the car.
The two walked into the cafe one after the other.
Lu Ning skillfully opened the door of the warehouse. The space inside was indeed spacious, with some spare tables, chairs and goods piled up. The space cleared out was more than enough for the two of them to work on.
“Let’s start with the basics,”
Lu Ning clapped his hands and his expression became serious. “First, I will teach you some basic stances and force techniques. This will be helpful for you to learn any fighting techniques in the future.”
“OK!”
Miyazawa Rie listened attentively with focused eyes.
Lu Ning began to teach carefully, from basic standing postures such as horse stance and bow stance, to how to use the strength of the waist and hips. He demonstrated every movement personally and patiently corrected Miyazawa Rie’s posture.
Miyazawa Rie learned very seriously. She had good body flexibility and coordination. Although it was her first time, she imitated the movements very well.
However, due to lack of exercise, many movements were still a bit difficult for her.
There was no air conditioning in the warehouse, and as she continued to practice, Miyazawa Rie soon became sweaty.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from her smooth forehead, slid down her cheeks, and soaked the collar of her police uniform.
The long straight black hair that was originally tied up had a few strands wet with sweat, sticking tightly to the skin, outlining the graceful lines of the neck.
The police uniform clung to her body due to sweat, showing off her exquisite figure to the fullest, adding a special kind of sexiness.
Lu Ning stood aside to give instructions, looking at the “Beauty’s Sweat Picture” in front of him, and smelling the faint fragrance and sweat in the air.
I just felt my mouth dry and I couldn’t help swallowing, and my eyes became a little hot.
“Huh… I’m so tired…”
After practicing several sets of movements, Miyazawa Rie stopped, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, breathing slightly, and her cheeks were flushed with an alluring blush due to the exercise.
“This is just the beginning,”
Lu Ning handed her a bottle of water and smiled, “If you want to learn Kung Fu well, this little bit of hard work is nothing.”
Miyazawa Rie took the water, took a sip, and looked at Lu Ning with sparkling eyes: “Mr. Lu Ning, you know so much, and you feel everything is the same.”
“I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit.”
Lu Ning waved his hands, feeling somewhat proud in his heart.
After a short rest, the two continued practicing.
Lu Ning began to teach Miyazawa Rie some simple Wing Chun techniques, such as spreading hands, shoulder hands, and crouching hands.
Wing Chun emphasizes close combat, so the two people naturally get very close when practicing.
Lu Ning stood behind Miyazawa Rie, holding her wrist and guiding her to make the correct movements.
The two bodies were so close that they could almost feel each other’s body temperature and breathing.
Lu Ning could clearly hear Miyazawa Rie’s slightly rapid breathing.
I could smell the faint body fragrance mixed with the unique scent of sweat emanating from her, and feel the delicate and smooth touch of her wrist.
His heartbeat began to speed up and his body gradually reacted.
Miyazawa Rie could also feel the burning breath and strong male hormones coming from Lu Ning behind her.
I could hear his steady, powerful heartbeat and feel his hot breath spraying on my ears, causing waves of numbness.
Her body began to become somewhat stiff and unnatural, her face became even redder, and her eyes became evasive, not daring to look Lu Ning in the eye.
The atmosphere in the warehouse became more and more ambiguous, and the air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.
When instructing Miyazawa Rie in practicing sticky hands again, the two stood face to face with their arms intertwined.
Lu Ning looked at Miyazawa Rie’s beautiful face so close to him. Her big watery eyes looked even more charming because of her nervousness and shyness, and her slightly pouting red lips exuded an alluring luster.
The close contact, the ambiguous atmosphere, and the temptation of the beauty in front of him made Lu Ning unable to suppress his inner impulse any longer.
His eyes became deep and burning, staring at Miyazawa Rie for a moment.
Miyazawa Rie felt flustered by his gaze and was about to say something when Lu Ning took the lead.
“Rie.”
Lu Ning licked his lips and said solemnly: “You know what? From the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you.”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ning didn’t wait for Miyazawa Rie to react, he lowered his head and kissed her hard!
“Hmm…”
Miyazawa Rie’s eyes widened and her mind went blank in an instant.
She could clearly feel the warmth and softness of Lu Ning’s lips, and his domineering yet gentle demands.
A strange feeling she had never experienced before instantly swept through her body like an electric current, making her limbs weak and her body tremble uncontrollably, feeling numb all over.
Her hands rested weakly on Lu Ning’s chest, but it seemed more like an invitation that she was half willing to refuse.
Gradually, resistance turned into obedience, and even began to respond awkwardly.
The temperature in the warehouse seemed to rise sharply at this moment, leaving only the rapid breathing of the two people.
Just as the two were kissing passionately and their love was growing stronger, there was a sudden knock on the warehouse door.
The sudden knock on the door was like thunder, instantly waking up the two people who were immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere.
Miyazawa Rie pushed Lu Ning away like a frightened deer. Her face was red as if blood was dripping out, her eyes were panicked, and she was frantically tidying up her messy police uniform and hair.
Lu Ning also frowned, and a hint of displeasure at being disturbed flashed in his eyes.
I listened carefully to the noise outside and vaguely heard a few familiar voices.
“Boss! Are you in there?”
“Boss! We are here to learn Kung Fu!”
It’s the four-member group of Shota Gang!
Only then did Lu Ning remember that he still had to teach these guys kung fu in the evening.
I sighed helplessly, it seems that today’s good things will end here.
Lu Ning turned to look at the frightened and embarrassed Miyazawa Rie, and said in a low voice: “They are a few friends who came to see me.
You should leave through the back door first, so as not to be seen by others.”
Miyazawa Rie was extremely confused at the moment. When she heard Lu Ning’s words, she felt as if she had been pardoned. Without thinking too much, she nodded vigorously and ran towards the back door of the warehouse in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Lu Ning looked at Miyazawa Rie’s hurriedly leaving back, and recalled the wonderful taste of that unexpected kiss just now, with a playful smile on his lips.
It seems that his story with this beautiful policewoman has just begun.
Lu Ning straightened his clothes and took a deep breath.
Walked towards the front door of the warehouse, ready to greet the uninvited guests.
Chapter 36 The sound of cracking eggs? The kick that will end your family lineage! (Old version)
Chapter 36 The sound of cracking eggs? The kick that will end your family lineage!
The big iron door of the warehouse slammed shut behind him, cutting off the noise from the outside world and seemingly also cutting off the last bit of warmth.
The charming atmosphere when Miyazawa Rie left was gone, replaced by a cold and murderous atmosphere.
Lu Ning turned around, his eyes darkened, and glanced at the four people led by Shota who were standing in a row in front of him, still a little confused.
Lu Ning was in a very bad mood as his good time was interrupted.
He was still immersed in the ambiguous relationship with Miyazawa Rie that was almost a wild goose chase, but these four blind guys chose to show up at this time, which was simply walking into his trap.
“Brother Lu, Brother Lu Ning…”
As the leader, Shota felt the low pressure emanating from Lu Ning. He hesitated for a moment and spoke tentatively.
He vaguely felt that this elder brother was not in a very good mood.
Lu Ning ignored his address and just snorted coldly. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to make the temperature in the warehouse drop a few degrees.
“Coming?”
“Yes, yes, brother, we are here to learn Kung Fu from you!”
Another younger brother with dyed yellow hair quickly joined in with a flattering smile on his face.
“Learn Kung Fu?”
Lu Ning’s mouth twitched, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, “Okay, since you are so sincere, then I will teach you well.”
His expression suddenly became serious, “However, my time is precious and I don’t have time to teach you those fancy things.
Today, I will only teach you one trick.”
When Shota and the other three heard this, they immediately became excited.
In their view, any move taught by a master, even if it is only one move, must be the essence of the essence and have infinite power.
They all nodded vigorously to show that they were all ears.
“This move is called ‘Kick to Cut Off the Offspring’.”
Lu Ning said these five words slowly with a calm tone, but it made Shota and the other three stunned for a moment.
Cut off…cut off the foot to end the family line?
Why does this name sound so… indecent?
Moreover, it was filled with some kind of unspeakable malice.
Shota swallowed and asked cautiously, “Brother, what…what kind of move is this?”
“That’s what it means.”
Lu Ning glanced at him and said, “A kick technique that specifically attacks the enemy’s vital points.
Simple, direct and efficient.”
Without giving the four people much time to think and react, he started teaching directly.
“Watch carefully, the key to this move lies in the technique of exerting force, the strength and the angle.”
Lu Ning said as he demonstrated it himself.
The movement was not fast, it could even be said to be a bit slow, but every detail was clearly displayed in front of the four people.
How to turn the waist and hips, how to drive the thighs, how to concentrate the strength of the whole body on the toes, how to adjust the angle at the moment of kicking to ensure accurate hit of the target.
“The force must be fast, fierce, and heavy! The force must be concentrated, not dispersed! The angle must be tricky, making it impossible for the opponent to defend!”
Lu Ning’s voice echoed in the empty warehouse with unquestionable majesty.
Shota and his foursome were stunned. They had fought many fights before, but they had never imagined that a simple kicking move could contain so many techniques and details.
“Did you understand?”
After Lu Ning finished the demonstration, he folded his arms across his chest and looked at them.
The four of them nodded hurriedly, but there was still a hint of confusion and…fear in their eyes.
“Just watching without practicing is just a fake trick.”
Lu Ning smiled slightly, but to Shota and others, this smile was even more terrifying than his serious expression just now.
“Next, we will conduct actual combat training so that you can experience the mystery of this move for yourself.”
Actual combat training?
Use the “Kick to Cut Off Off Offspring” for actual combat training?
Shota and the other three felt a chill in their lower abdomen almost at the same time. An unspeakable part of their body dodged for a moment and tightened as if reflexively.
Their faces turned pale instantly, and they opened their mouths in surprise, looking at Lu Ning as if they had heard some fairy tale.
“Brother…this…isn’t this a bit bad?”
Shota’s voice was trembling, “What if…what if I fail…”
“rest assured,”
Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders, his tone was relaxed as if he was talking about a trivial matter, “I will control the intensity, to ensure that you experience the essence, but not to the point where you will really have no descendants.”
ensure?
How can we guarantee such a thing?
The four of them were in tears and felt like they had jumped into a fire pit on their own initiative.
“Who’s going first?”
Lu Ning’s eyes swept over the four people.
The four of them simultaneously took a half step back. You looked at me, I looked at you, no one wanted to be the first to try something new (or get kicked).
“No one took the initiative? Then I’ll call the names.”
Lu Ning pointed at the yellow-haired boy who had spoken to him first and said, “It’s you.”
The yellow-haired little brother blushed, then turned pale, shook his head, and almost cried: “Brother, I…”
“Stop talking nonsense and stand still!”
Lu Ning paused and did not allow for any rebuttal.
The yellow-haired little brother stomped his feet, and finally stood in front of Lu Ning with a sad face and some reluctance. His legs trembled slightly and he subconsciously wanted to close them together.
“Relax and show the same ferocity you usually use in a fight.”
Lu Ning reminded, then suddenly took a step forward, and his right leg was like a whip, kicking the yellow-haired boy’s crotch accurately with a sound of breaking wind!
“Ouch!”
A shrill scream broke the silence of the warehouse.
The yellow-haired boy collapsed instantly as if his bones had been pulled out, covering his vital parts with his hands.
He curled up on the ground, his body twitching constantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was uglier than white paper.
Lu Ning retracted his legs and clapped his hands, as if he had just done something insignificant.
“Did you see clearly? This is the power of the kick that can end your family lineage.
Although I only used less than 10% of my strength, you should have seen the effect. “
The remaining three people, Shota, were horrified and took a deep breath. They felt a dull pain in some part of their body.
They seemed to hear some kind of… “egg breaking” sound echoing in their ears.
“Next, Shouta.”
Lu Ning didn’t give them much sympathy or buffer time and directly called them out by name.
Shota couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but seeing Lu Ning’s unquestionable look, he had no choice but to move forward.
He took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and put on a posture that he thought was fairly stable.
There was another muffled sound, followed by a suppressed groan from Shota.
Although he was mentally prepared, the severe pain that struck his soul still made him lose all his strength in an instant. He followed the same fate as the yellow-haired boy and rolled on the ground, holding his crotch.
“Very good, the angle was a little off, be careful next time.”
Lu Ning commented, then looked at the remaining two people.
The two men had already turned pale, their eyes flickered, and they almost ran away.
The following time was a hellish torture for Shota and his three companions.
In the warehouse, screams and groans were heard one after another.
In the name of “actual combat training”, Lu Ning took turns to use the “Kick to Cut Off Off Offspring” on them.
Every time, Lu Ning would control the force to ensure that they only experienced extreme pain without causing permanent damage.
But even so, the fear and pain that penetrates deep into their bones is enough to make them remember it for the rest of their lives.
Every time I got hit, I had to lie on the cold concrete floor for a long time before I could barely get up and face the next “guidance”.
They even began to suspect that Brother Lu Ning was taking the opportunity to take revenge because they had disturbed his good deeds before.
By the time Lu Ning announced the end of tonight’s training, Shota and his foursome had all turned pale and sweaty, their walking postures had become extremely strange, and their legs unconsciously wanted to close together.
The way they looked at Lu Ning was filled with awe and deep…fear.
“Okay, that’s all for today.”
Lu Ning stretched his body and looked at the four people who collapsed, “Remember the force techniques, strength and angles I taught you.
Go back and experience it carefully and practice more. “
“Yes…Brother…”
Shouta responded weakly, feeling like he almost didn’t have the strength to speak anymore.
“Don’t underestimate this move.”
Lu Ning finally reminded him, “Practice well. When you fight with others in the future, as long as you seize the opportunity to use this kick, you will definitely gain an absolute advantage in the battle and defeat the enemy with one move.”
Gain the upper hand? Defeat the enemy with one move?
Shota and his three companions felt like crying but had no tears. Their minds were filled with the heart-wrenching pain and the “eggs breaking” sound that seemed like an illusion.
They had no doubt about the power of this move, but… wasn’t the price a bit too high?
Looking at the four people supporting each other and leaving the warehouse in strange postures, Lu Ning curled his lips and finally felt a little better.
Although he was very upset about having his good things ruined, he was able to vent his anger by beating up these little brothers.
As for whether they can truly comprehend the mystery of the “Kick That Cuts Off Offspring” and use it flexibly in future battles…that depends on their own luck.
Lu Ning glanced at the empty warehouse, turned around and left this place filled with sweat and cries of “broken eggs”.
Chapter 37: Take down the cat girl, Buniao! (Old version)
Chapter 37: Capture the cat girl, Buniao!
Coming out of the warehouse filled with sweat and “wailing”, Lu Ning felt a lot better.
Sure enough, proper “teaching” is conducive to physical and mental health.
Back to the familiar street, I walked towards my own maid cafe “Seaside Cafe”.
When I pushed open the glass door of the cafe, the sound of wind chimes rang out.
The afternoon sun shines through the clean windows onto the floor, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of coffee and pastries.
Behind the bar, two familiar figures were busy.
One is Kon Futaba with her signature mushroom-like hair. She is lowering her head, wiping the coffee cup carefully, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids.
The other one instantly attracted Lu Ning’s full attention.
Arashiyama Ayutori put on a new cat girl maid outfit today.
The pink and white short skirt perfectly outlines the girl’s youthful curves.
Under the skirt are slender legs wrapped in white over-the-knee socks.
On her head she wears a pair of cute cat ears that sway gently with her movements.
There is a furry black cat tail behind it, which adds a bit of playfulness and temptation.
Lu Ning’s eyes lit up and he licked his lips involuntarily.
I have to say, this girl, Buniao, usually looks confused, but this outfit is really… great.
“Ah, Manager, you’re back!”
Arashiyama Buniao was the first to notice Lu Ning. He looked up at him, a silly smile on his face, and the cat ears on his head shook.
“Um.”
Lu Ning smiled slightly and walked over, but his eyes were looking at her unscrupulously.
“That… the store manager,”
Arashiyama Ayutori seemed a little embarrassed by his gaze, turned his head and whispered, “Someone came to see you just now.”
“Looking for me?”
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, “Who is it?”
“Um……”
Arashiyama Ayutori tilted his head and thought for a while, “It seems that there are four men. The one leading them is called… Shota? I saw that their walking posture was a little strange, as if they were not very comfortable.”
As she spoke, she imitated the awkward posture of not daring to spread her legs completely, which looked a bit funny.
It was indeed them.
The corners of Lu Ning’s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that the experience of “cutting off one’s offspring” had left a deep impression on them.
However, Lu Ning’s mind is obviously not on Shota and those unlucky guys.
His gaze refocused on the cute and lovely cat girl Abutiao in front of him.
The youthful vitality, the innocent cuteness, and this foul cat girl outfit…
Lu Ning’s heart moved, and a bold idea came to his mind.
He took a step forward, closer to the bar, and closer to Arashiyama Ayutori.
“Butterfly.”
There is a hint of magnetism in Lu Ning’s voice.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, manager?”
Arashiyama Ayutori blinked her big innocent eyes.
“I discovered…”
Lu Ning’s eyes became a little hot, “I think I’ve fallen in love with you.”
“Huh?”
Arashiyama Ayutori was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.
Kon Futaba next to him also heard it. Her hand that was wiping the cup paused for a moment, and she opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning ignored Kon Futaba’s reaction and continued to speak to Arashiyama Ayutori in a direct and overbearing tone: “Be my girlfriend.”
“Eh…Eh?!”
Arashiyama Ayutori was completely stunned. His little face turned red like a ripe apple, and even the cat ears on his head seemed to be dyed pink.
She lowered her head in a panic, and nervously tugged at the edge of the apron of her maid outfit.
“Manager…you…what are you talking about…”
Arashiyama Ayutaka’s voice was as thin as a mosquito’s, with a hint of shyness in it.
“I said, I like you and want you to be my girlfriend.”
Lu Ning repeated it, leaving no room for doubt.
He stared at the red tips of Butiao’s ears and thought it was adorable.
Arashiyama Ayutori lowered his head and remained silent, his heart beating wildly and his mind going blank.
This was the first time she had been confessed to, and the other party was the store manager who she had always thought was very powerful and mysterious.
After a long while, under Lu Ning’s extremely aggressive gaze, Arashiyama Bunori finally uttered an inaudible “hmm”, and then nodded vigorously as if he had used up all his strength.
Done!
Lu Ning was delighted and without saying a word, he reached out and held Arashiyama Ayumu’s small hand wearing lace gloves.
“Come with me.”
“Eh? Where… where?”
Arashiyama Ayutori was pulled by him and staggered, his face getting even redder.
“lounge.”
Lu Ning said without turning his head, and pulled her towards the staff lounge behind the cafe.
Kon Futaba watched in amazement as the store manager took her good friend away like that, without giving her any chance to refuse.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately pursed his lips and let out an inaudible sigh.
The door to the lounge opened and then closed.
Outside the door, there is the melodious background music of the cafe and the occasional conversations of customers.
Inside the door, some blushing whispers and slight gasps gradually came out…
…
Two hours later.
The door to the lounge opened with a click.
Lu Ning walked out refreshed, straightened his messy collar, and had a satisfied smile on his face.
It seems that the taste of Buniao in cat girl costume is really extraordinary.
He had just taken a few steps out when he saw a familiar figure sitting in a booth in the corner of the cafe. He was rubbing his hands restlessly and looking in the direction of the lounge from time to time.
If not Shota, then who is it?
This guy is really patient. He waited for two hours.
“Hey, Shouta, have you been waiting long?”
Lu Ning chuckled, walked over, and sat casually opposite Shota.
“Brother Lu, Brother Lu Ning!”
When Shota saw Lu Ning coming out, he quickly stood up, his expression somewhat excited and a little fearful.
Especially when he saw Lu Ning coming out of the lounge, he swallowed subconsciously and didn’t dare to ask more questions.
“Sit down, what do you want from me?”
Lu Ning waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Shota hesitated for a moment, then carefully sat back in his seat, but only dared to touch half of the seat with his buttocks. He leaned forward slightly, frowned and said, “Brother, I have something urgent that I would like to ask for your help.”
“explain.”
“That’s right,”
Shota’s expression turned serious, “We recently had some conflicts with the Black Dragon Society. They outnumbered us and we suffered a bit.
They just issued a challenge to us, and asked us to have a decisive battle at the dock warehouse in half a month!”
“Black Dragon Society?”
Lu Ning thought about it and had some impression of the name. It seemed to be a large-scale violent group nearby.
“That’s all?”
“Brother, this is no small matter!”
Shota was a little anxious. “The Black Dragon Society has many more people than us, and they are ruthless. We…we don’t have much chance of winning!”
His face was full of worry.
Hearing this, Lu Ning smiled indifferently and patted Xiangtai on the shoulder: “What are you afraid of? With the tricks I taught you, why are you afraid of them?”
“A special trick?”
Shota was stunned, then he thought of the unbearable “hellish training” last night, and his face turned paler in an instant.
“yes,”
Lu Ning nodded as a matter of course, “It’s the ‘Kick that Cuts Off Your Own Family and Grandchildren’.
After you go back, the four of you must practice harder and get the force, angle, and timing right.
Half a month is enough.”
“Still…still practicing that?”
Shota’s voice became out of tune and he subconsciously brought his legs together, only to feel the horrible pain from last night coming back to him.
Her chrysanthemums tightened, as if she heard again that illusory yet extremely real sound of “eggs breaking”.
“What else?”
Lu Ning glanced at him:
“Do you still want to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?
I tell you, the ‘Kick to Cut Off Off Offspring’ is the most practical and efficient move!
As long as it is used properly, one kick can make the opponent lose his fighting power.
No matter what the Black Dragon Society or the White Dragon Society is, they all have to kneel!”
Seeing Lu Ning speaking so easily, Shota could not help but smile bitterly, his heart filled with despair.
He had no doubt about the power of the “Kick to Cut Off Off Offspring”, but he was more afraid of the “sparring” in the next half month!
That would be even more terrifying than a fight with the Black Dragon Society!
“Brother…can’t you just…practice some other moves?”
Shouta muttered quietly, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
“Um?”
Lu Ning’s eyes darkened.
“No! Nothing!”
Shota shuddered all over and immediately shook his head like a rattle, “Brother is right! The kick that can annihilate offspring is the strongest! We must practice hard when we go back! We will make sure to complete the mission!”
Looking at Shota’s frightened yet obedient expression, Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that last night’s training was very effective, and these little brothers have been trained to be very obedient.
“Okay, go back if you have nothing else to do. Remember to gather your brothers. Starting tomorrow, the training will be doubled.”
Lu Ning waved his hand impatiently.
“Yes! Yes! Big brother! Let’s go back now! Double the practice! Definitely double it!”
Shota stood up as if he had been pardoned, and left the cafe almost fleeing. His back was filled with panic after surviving a calamity and infinite fear for the next half month.
Lu Ning looked at his embarrassed back, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that there will be something good to watch in the next half month.
Chapter 38 The Little Detective’s Boarding Rejection?! (Old Version)
Chapter 38 The little detective was rejected from boarding school? !
In Beika Town, at Professor Agasa’s home.
Unlike the bright sunshine outside, the atmosphere in the living room seemed a little gloomy.
A little boy wearing glasses and an ill-fitting suit was sitting listlessly on the sofa, his short legs dangling and his face filled with a melancholy that was inconsistent with his age.
He is the famous detective who looks like a child but is smarter than an ordinary person – Kudo Shinichi, now using the alias Edogawa Conan.
A few days ago, he was unfortunately ambushed while tracking the Black Organization in Tropical Paradise. He drank the mysterious poison APTX4869, and his body miraculously shrank to the size of a seven-year-old child.
After escaping by chance, he immediately found his trustworthy neighbor, Dr. Agasa, and settled down temporarily.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
In order to investigate the truth about the Black Organization and find a way to restore his body, he needs a place closer to the source of intelligence.
The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the home of childhood sweetheart Mao Li Ran – Mao Li Detective Agency.
Using the excuse that “parents are going abroad and temporarily staying here”, he followed Dr. Agasa to the door with great expectations.
In my memory, Mao Lilan has always been a kind, enthusiastic and loving girl. She would definitely take in a “lonely and helpless” child from a distant relative without hesitation, right?
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
Mao Lilan opened the door with a gentle smile on her face.
But after listening to Dr. Agasa’s explanation and Conan’s “pitiful” self-introduction, he shook his head and looked slightly embarrassed and apologetic.
“Ah, what a cute child…”
Mao Lilan squatted down and touched Conan’s head: “But it’s really unfortunate, our family is not very convenient recently.
Dad is very busy at work, and I… I also have to go to school and work, so I’m afraid I don’t have much time to take care of a child.”
Conan was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his ears.
Xiaolan…rejected him?
Xiaolan, who in his impression was kinder than anyone else and would even take lost kittens and puppies home to take care of them, actually rejected a child who looked so in need of help?
He lowered his head and pursed his lips, his heart filled with confusion and loss.
Why?
How did Xiaolan become like this?
Is she in some trouble?
Or… is she no longer the Xiaolan that I know?
Looking at Conan’s shocked and frowning expression, Dr. Agasa on the side could not help but smile bitterly.
This kid is taking things for granted.
How could he know that the landlord had no surplus food.
Today, the Mori Detective Agency is in very bad business, and relies entirely on the occasional small, insignificant commissions that Kogoro Mori receives to make a living.
This confused detective was also addicted to alcohol. He owed a lot of debts from several pubs and bars he often visited, and was often chased by the proprietresses for payment.
As a daughter, Mao Lilan not only has to worry about her studies and manage housework, but also has to work part-time to supplement the family income during her spare time – for example, working as a waitress in Lu Ning’s maid cafe.
With such a family situation, they can barely take care of themselves, so how can they have the energy and financial resources to take extra care of a child from a “distant relative” who suddenly shows up?
Refusing is really a helpless act.
Kudo Shinichi naturally didn’t know about these inside stories. He was just immersed in the frustration and confusion of being rejected by Xiaolan. He sighed and felt that the whole world had become dark.
At the same time, Teitan High School.
During the break, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko gathered together to chat as usual.
However, today, Mao Lilan seemed to be a little worried and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.
“Xiaolan, what’s wrong with you?
He looked distracted from the beginning.”
Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked at her friend with some concern.
Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out her doubts: “Sonoko, I want to tell you something… Don’t be too surprised.”
“What’s going on? You’re being so mysterious.”
Suzuki Sonoko moved closer out of curiosity.
“It was… this morning when I went to the bathroom,”
Mao Lilan lowered her voice and said, “I accidentally heard that Arashiyama and Kon were chatting in the cubicle…”
“Abutori and Futaba?
What are they talking about that concerns you so much?”
Suzuki Sonoko was puzzled.
Mao Lilan took a deep breath and said with a strange expression: “They are saying… Lanshan is dating Manager Lu Ning!”
“Pfft—what did you say?!”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes widened instantly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of nearby classmates.
She grabbed Mao Lilan’s arm, clenched her fist, and her face was full of disbelief and anger:
“Arashiyama Ayutori?
And Lu Ning?
How is this possible!
Nonsense!
Lu Ning is obviously my boyfriend!”
“Huh?!”
This time it was Mao Lilan’s turn to open her mouth in surprise.
She looked at her emotional friend in shock, and her brain froze for a few seconds before she reacted.
“Yuan…Yuanzi? You said…Manager Lu Ning is your…boyfriend?”
This is just too much information!
First of all, she didn’t expect her good friend Suzuki Sonoko, the young lady who was always yelling about finding a prince charming.
She had actually been quietly dating the coffee shop manager, Lu Ning, and had been hiding it from her!
Secondly, if what Sonoko said was true, then what about the conversation between Arashiyama Ayutori and Kon Futaba that I heard in the bathroom this morning?
At that time, Arashiyama Ayutori’s tone, which was a bit shy and sweet, didn’t sound fake.
“yes!”
Suzuki Sonoko looked at a non-existent place with an angry look on her face, gritting her teeth:
“That bastard Lu Ning! He clearly promised to be my boyfriend!
How dare you… How dare you provoke that innocent Arashiyama Ayutori! “
Mao Lilan was silent for a moment, thought about it, and finally sorted out the clues.
A horrible truth came to light: Manager Lu Ning, the seemingly gentle, polite and capable coffee shop owner, was actually dating Suzuki Sonoko and Arashiyama Ayutori at the same time!
This realization made Mao Lilan feel a chill.
She was a little surprised that Arashiyama Ayutori found a boyfriend, but now it seems that things are far more complicated and…dirty than she imagined.
Then I think of Suzuki Sonoko, this good friend who has always been longing for romantic love, was actually involved in such a chaotic relationship without knowing it.
Mao Lilan looked at her friend who was shaking with anger, patted her shoulder gently, and said contemptuously: “This kind of two-timing scumbag is not worth it at all! It’s good that you have seen through him!”
“Scumbag…”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes darkened and she repeated the word, as if she had truly realized the true face of her “Prince Charming” for the first time.
Anger, shame, grievance, disappointment…all kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, and her pretty face was a little distorted.
I always thought I had met my true love and was immersed in sweet fantasies, but I never expected that all this was just a joke!
A storm seems to be brewing quietly.
Chapter 39: Suzuki Sonoko’s “lesson”! (Old version)
Chapter 39: Suzuki Sonoko’s “lesson”!
The hustle and bustle during the break at Teitan High School seemed to have drifted away from Suzuki Sonoko at this moment.
In her world, the only things left were the cruel truth that Mao Lilan had just said and the sound of her own heart collapsing.
“Lu Ning… is my boyfriend…”
“Lanshan is dating store manager Lu Ning…”
These two sentences were like a spell, constantly circling and colliding in her mind, shattering all her previous beautiful fantasies about the “Prince Charming”.
The Lu Ning who was gentle and considerate in front of her, and occasionally overbearing;
Lu Ning, who would give her little surprises and satisfy her little lady’s temper;
The Lu Ning who made her feel heart-pounding for the first time and made her believe that he was her “Sir of Fortune”… turned out to be a fake?
Or rather, not all of it is for her?
Tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably and my vision became blurry.
Suzuki Sonoko felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she almost couldn’t breathe.
It turns out that the relationship that you are so proud of is just a charity shared by others?
It turned out that she, Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, was actually being played around by a man!
“How could this happen… How could this happen…”
Suzuki Sonoko slumped back into her chair in despair, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembling slightly, like a peacock drenched by heavy rain and with all its pride lost.
Mao Lilan felt heartbroken when she saw her friend like this.
She sighed, handed over a tissue, and whispered, “Don’t be sad, Sonoko.
It’s not worth shedding tears for that kind of person.
He is not worthy of you!”
Although she also felt disgusted and angry at Lu Ning’s behavior.
But at this moment, comforting your injured friends is the most important thing.
Instead of taking the tissue, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised her head, with flames of anger burning in her red eyes.
She gritted her teeth and wiped away the tears on her face, choking a little but more determined: “No! I can’t just let it go like this!
I’m going to find him and ask him for the truth! I, Suzuki Sonoko, am not someone that can be bullied easily!”
The pride and unwillingness to admit defeat of the second daughter of the Suzuki family regained the upper hand after a brief collapse.
Rather than wallowing in pain, she prefers to take the initiative and seek justice!
“Sonoko, calm down!”
Mao Lilan was a little anxious, worried that she would do something impulsive.
But Suzuki Sonoko could no longer listen.
Her “Prince Charming dream” was shattered, replaced by a raging rage of being deceived and betrayed.
In the afternoon, after school.
Suzuki Sonoko almost dragged Mouri Ran all the way to “Seaside Cafe” angrily.
The cafe was filled with tempting aroma as usual, there were not many customers and the atmosphere was leisurely.
However, all of this was extremely dazzling to Suzuki Sonoko.
Mao Lilan looked at her furious friend, then at Kon Futaba who had already started to change into work clothes, and the store manager Lu Ning who acted as if nothing had happened, and she felt extremely conflicted.
She cast a worried look at him and warned him, “Yuanzi, if you have anything to say, please talk to him nicely. Don’t be impulsive…”
But he also knew that given Sonoko’s current condition, she probably wouldn’t be able to listen.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly and decided to change his clothes first, at least if something happened later, he would be there to watch.
Suzuki Sonoko ignored Mao Lilan’s advice and her eyes were like radar fixed on Lu Ning, who was standing behind the bar and wiping a glass leisurely.
This is the man!
He took away her first love, gave her false sweetness, and then sent her into hell with cruel reality!
Suzuki Sonoko took a deep breath and walked straight over.
“Lu Ning!”
She almost yelled the name.
Hearing the voice, Lu Ning raised his head and looked at her. Seeing that it was Suzuki Sonoko with an angry face, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was not surprised.
“It’s Yuanzi, are you getting out of school early today?”
This nonchalant attitude only added fuel to the fire!
Suzuki Sonoko grabbed his wrist without saying a word, with astonishing strength.
“Come with me!”
“Hey, hey…”
Lu Ning struggled symbolically and let her pull him across the cafe and towards the staff lounge under the surprised gazes of the guests and Kon Futaba.
Suzuki Sonoko slammed the door of the lounge shut, blocking out the outside world.
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly let go of Lu Ning’s hand, turned around, put her hands on her hips, glared at him, her full chest heaving violently with anger.
“Lu Ning!
You bastard! What on earth do you take me for?!
You’re dating me while you’re messing with Arashiyama Ayutori!
You two-timing scumbag! “
Suzuki Sonoko was full of questions and accusations, and she wanted to scold the liar who had deceived her feelings.
However, as soon as she shouted the word “scumbag”, Lu Ning moved.
His movements were incredibly fast, almost the instant she finished speaking.
He took a step forward, stretched out his hands, clasped the back of her head with one hand, and held her waist with the other, and quickly lowered his head.
He used his lips to fiercely block her still chattering mouth!
“Ugh!!”
Suzuki Sonoko’s eyes widened and her mind went blank in an instant.
I never expected Lu Ning to react like this!
There was none of the expected guilt, excuses or apologies. Instead, there was a kiss that was highly aggressive and punitive!
The breath came over her like an overwhelming force, plundering her breath and her thoughts.
All the anger and accusations were shattered by this sudden kiss.
Suzuki Sonoko struggled subconsciously and raised her hand to push away, but Lu Ning’s arm was like an iron hoop, holding her tightly in his arms, making her unable to move.
The kiss lasted for nearly half a minute, until Suzuki Sonoko felt she was about to suffocate and her cheeks turned red.
Lu Ning stepped back slightly, but still maintained a very close distance, with his forehead against hers.
Suzuki Sonoko was breathing heavily, her eyes were confused, her anger had not yet subsided, but it was also mixed with shame and an inexplicable palpitation.
“Accusing me?”
Lu Ning looked at her red cheeks due to lack of oxygen and shame, narrowed his eyes, and said in a low and dangerous voice with a hint of playful smile, “Your voice is quite loud, and your strength is not small.”
Before Suzuki Sonoko could react, Lu Ning suddenly picked her up and carried her sideways!
“Ah! What are you doing! Let me go!”
Suzuki Sonoko screamed and began to struggle using her hands and feet.
Lu Ning ignored her and walked a few steps to the not-so-big single bed in the lounge and pushed her onto the bed!
The soft bed did not bring a sense of security, but made Suzuki Sonoko even more panicked.
He propped himself up and tried to sit up, but Lu Ning came over and pushed him back.
He looked down at the girl beneath him, whose face was flushed and eyes were flustered but still stubborn, and an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Aren’t you going to teach me a lesson?”
Lu Ning’s fingers gently stroked her slightly trembling lips, “That’s right, I also think… it’s time to teach you a lesson.
Let you know who is the one who should be obedient. “
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her again, this time with a stronger possessiveness and a sense of not allowing resistance.
The door of the lounge was quietly closed.
Outside the door, it is a leisurely afternoon.
Inside the door, a special “lesson” has just begun…
Chapter 40 Three Hours of “Confession”! (Old Version)
Chapter 40 Three hours of “confession”!
At the front desk of the cafe, Mao Lilan was wiping the bar anxiously, but her eyes kept glancing at the closed door of the staff lounge.
More than ten minutes have passed.
After Yuanzi was half-forcefully pulled in by store manager Lu Ning, there was no more loud noise from inside.
This made Mao Lilan even more worried.
With Yuanzi’s hot temper, she would definitely make a big fuss once she entered.
It’s so quiet now… Could it be…
The more Mao Lilan thought about it, the more scared she became, and her brows furrowed.
Although Sonoko is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she is a girl after all, and is definitely no match for Manager Lu Ning in terms of strength.
If a conflict really happened, Yuanzi would definitely be the one who suffered! Manager Lu Ning looked gentle and refined, but the way he forcibly took Yuanzi away just now was not gentle at all.
No, she has to go and see!
After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan whispered to Kon Futaba beside her, “I’ll go get something,” and then took a deep breath.
Try to act as naturally as possible and walk towards the lounge.
Mao Lilan lowered her footsteps and tiptoed towards the door.
My heart was still beating fast, thinking that if I heard any quarreling, I would immediately rush in to help.
However, when she was only one step away from the door, ready to raise her hand to knock, and even considering whether to just turn the doorknob.
A series of intermittent and faint sounds floated out from the crack in the door.
It was not the sound of quarreling or crying.
Rather, it was… an indescribable, vague whisper…
The hand that Mao Lilan was reaching for the door handle froze in an instant, and the whole person was petrified as if she was under a spell.
She opened her eyes wide and listened to the sound coming from the door in disbelief.
My mind went blank. All my previous worries, anger, and determination to protect my friend were shattered by this ambiguous and charming voice.
Mao Lilan imagined a hundred possible conflicts in the lounge, but she never thought it would be like this…
Mao Lilan felt her cheeks getting hot. She stood there with a dull look in her eyes, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Should I kick the door open in anger and accuse Lu Ning, this “scumbag”, of what he did to my best friend?
Or should I quietly back away and pretend I heard nothing?
Just when I was at a loss as to what to do, I asked, “Excuse me, is anyone here? Can I order?”
A guest’s voice came from the front desk, breaking the eerie silence.
Mao Lilan trembled all over as if she was pricked by a needle, and suddenly came to her senses.
She looked around in panic, making sure no one noticed her misbehavior.
Then he ran away in a hurry, almost as if escaping, and returned to the front desk.
“Sorry, sorry! I’ll be right there!”
While apologizing, Mao Lilan tried to calm her pounding heart and confused thoughts.
I forced myself not to think about the sound I just heard and started making coffee for the guests.
However, her hand holding the coffee pot was shaking slightly.
Time passes slowly in the midst of suffering and busyness.
Three hours later.
Just when Mao Lilan was about to forget the embarrassing episode, the door of the lounge finally opened with a “click”.
Mao Lilan subconsciously raised her head and looked at him, just in time to see Suzuki Sonoko walking out.
After just one look, Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment again.
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko’s pretty face was flushed like a ripe tomato. There was still a trace of mist in her watery eyes. Her lips were slightly swollen and looked unusually plump.
What was even more striking was that her walking posture was very strange. Her legs seemed a little weak and she walked unsteadily. She took every step carefully and tremblingly, as if she would fall at any time.
Although the clothes on his body were still relatively neat, if he looked closely, he could see some unnatural wrinkles.
This look… no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the result of going for a “fight” or “seeking justice”.
“Garden!”
Mao Lilan’s heart was filled with alarm. Without giving it any more time to think, she quickly stepped forward and supported her staggering friend. “Are you…are you okay? He…Manager Lu Ning, he…”
She wanted to ask, “Did Lu Ning bully you?”, but seeing Yuanzi’s expression, she felt that the question seemed inappropriate.
Suzuki Sonoko was supported by her, her body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then she quickly turned her face away, avoiding Mouri Ran’s inquiring gaze.
“I…what can I do?”
Suzuki Sonoko spoke with forced calmness, but there was a barely noticeable hoarseness and weakness in her voice.
“But you…”
Mao Lilan looked at her red cheeks and unsteady steps, and her worry was evident in her words.
Suzuki Sonoko seemed a little uncomfortable with her gaze. She raised her little face abruptly and snorted, trying to cover up her abnormality with pride:
“Humph! How dare he do anything to me!
As soon as I entered, I scolded him severely!
He knew he was wrong and admitted his mistake obediently! “
“Are you giving in?”
Mao Lilan was a little unconvinced.
“Of course!”
Suzuki Sonoko puffed out her chest, although the action made her frown slightly, as if something was bothering her.
“Not only did he admit his mistake, he even knelt in front of me and confessed for three hours! His attitude was so sincere!”
“Kneeled…knelt for three hours? Confess?”
When Mao Lilan heard this, she couldn’t help but curl her lips.
Three hours… This time is almost the same as the time she waited outside.
But, “kneel down and confess”?
Mao Lilan looked at her meaningfully, and some discordant images involuntarily emerged in her mind.
Although Lu Ning may have indeed “knelt” for three hours, does that really count as “repentance”?
I guess it’s a kind of “atonement” or “service”…
Seeing my friend’s legs trembling, but she still had to pretend to be calm and maintain her dignity as a young lady.
In the end, Mao Lilan shook her head and swallowed the complaint that was about to come out of her mouth.
Forget it, let Yuanzi say whatever she wants.
As long as she’s okay…
If we continue asking questions, it will probably only make both of us more embarrassed.
“Is that so? Well… that’s good…”
Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly, helped her to sit on the chair next to her, and said, “You should take a rest first. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Suzuki Sonoko lowered her head and said nothing, but did not refuse.
But her red ears revealed her inner unrest at the moment.
Night falls and the lights come on.
Lu Ning saw off the last customer and was sorting out the cafe’s accounts.
The phone on the bar suddenly vibrated.
He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID – Miyazawa Rie.
What does this beautiful traffic policewoman want to talk to me about? Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and answered the phone.
“Hello, Ms. Miyazawa?”
“Good evening, Mr. Lu Ning.”
Miyazawa Rie’s gentle and intellectual voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of smile, “Excuse me for bothering you, but I wonder if you are free tomorrow night?”
“Tomorrow night?”
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, “I should be free. What’s the matter?”
Miyazawa Rie explained, “I will attend a private dinner tomorrow night and need a male companion to accompany me.
After much thought, I feel that you, Mr. Lu Ning, are the most suitable candidate, so I would like to invite you…”
“A male companion for a private dinner?”
Lu Ning’s eyes rolled and he immediately understood.
In such occasions, bringing a suitable male companion can not only save the situation, but also avoid some unnecessary troubles.
The reason why Miyazawa Rie thought of herself was probably because of the last time he saved her, plus a certain recognition of his strength and identity.
“no problem.”
Lu Ning readily agreed, “I’m happy to be Miss Gong Ze’s male companion.
When and where?
Miyazawa Rie’s tone was obviously much more relaxed, “Tomorrow night at 7 o’clock, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Beika Central Hotel.
I will send you the electronic invitation.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow night.”
“Well, see you tomorrow night.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ning curled up a playful smile.
Miyazawa Rie… a private dinner… sounds like it would be fun.
Chapter 41 Luxury cars and mansions! Invisible rich man and big boss dinner! (Old version)
Chapter 41: Luxury cars and mansions! Dinner party for the invisible rich and powerful!
The next afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
At the agreed time, Lu Ning arrived at the hidden garage near his own cafe.
As his mind moved, a black Porsche 911 with smooth lines and shining metallic luster quietly slid out from the depths of the garage.
This is one of the many items that the order-taking system rewards him after he completes an order, and it is rarely used.
Lu Ning’s eyes lit up. He walked around the top sports car, feeling the power and luxury it exuded, and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Although he does not pursue material enjoyment excessively, it seems to feel good to drive such a car out occasionally to “show off”.
Especially attending what Rie Miyazawa called a “private dinner”.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, holding the cool and textured steering wheel, Lu Ning started the engine.
A low and surging roar sounded, announcing the awakening of this steel beast.
According to the address sent by Miyazawa Rie, Lu Ning drove his Porsche through the streets of Beika Town.
As the destination gets closer, the surrounding architectural style is quietly changing.
Ordinary apartment buildings and single-family houses are gradually disappearing, replaced by luxurious villas of various styles and large areas, hidden behind carefully manicured green plants and high walls.
Lu Ning looked around and couldn’t help but be shocked.
This is obviously the legendary wealthy area of ​​Beika Town, and the people who live here are either rich or noble.
Is Miyazawa Rie’s house here?
Soon, the navigation led him to a magnificent modern-style villa.
The pure white exterior walls, simple and smooth lines, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the wide courtyard and private swimming pool visible to the naked eye…all demonstrate the owner’s financial resources and taste.
“Tsk tsk…”
Lu Ning parked the car outside the carved iron gate, touched his chin, and looked at the mansion in front of him again, feeling a mixture of emotion.
He knew that Miyazawa Rie was extremely capable, had a top-notch appearance and figure, and that her family background should not be bad, but he never expected that her family background could be this good.
This is definitely the top configuration among “white, rich and beautiful” women, right?
“It seems that this beautiful traffic police lady is actually a hidden rich woman…”
Lu Ning muttered in a low voice.
Just then, the side door of the villa opened and a figure in an elegant evening gown walked out.
It was Miyazawa Rie.
Obviously dressed up today.
A royal blue off-shoulder dress perfectly outlines her graceful figure, and her fair skin seems to be glowing in the sunset.
Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun, revealing her slender and graceful swan neck, and her face was made up with elegant and appropriate makeup.
The whole person exudes a noble and charming temperament, which is completely different from the heroic appearance he usually wears in the traffic police uniform, but it is equally stunning.
Miyazawa Rie was about to walk towards the door with a polite smile on her face, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the cool black Porsche at the door.
Then, the smile on her face froze instantly, her beautiful eyes were filled with shock, and her mouth opened in surprise for a long time.
She looked at the car, then at Lu Ning, who got out of the driver’s seat and leaned against the car door with a slight smile. Her eyes flickered, and she seemed a little unbelievable.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu Ning… what is this car…?”
Miyazawa Rie always thought that Lu Ning was just a mysterious and skilled coffee shop owner, so how could he appear in a luxury car of this level?
“Oh, this one.”
Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders, his expression relaxed. “A friend of mine went abroad and left his car with me. I just happened to drive it here today.”
I made up an excuse, not wanting to reveal too many things for the time being.
Miyazawa Rie was stunned for a moment. Although she was skeptical about what this “friend” said, she was not the kind of person who would ask questions.
However, this incident undoubtedly refreshed her understanding of Lu Ning.
This Mr. Lu Ning is probably much more than he appears to be.
“So that’s how it is…”
Miyazawa Rie nodded slightly, hiding the turmoil in her heart.
Put on a decent smile again:
“I am very grateful that Mr. Lu Ning can come.
It’s windy outside, shall we get in the car?”
“My pleasure, Ms. Miyazawa is truly radiant today.”
Lu Ning also gave her compliments at the right time and opened the passenger door for her like a gentleman.
Miyazawa Rie blushed slightly, said thank you, and got into the car gracefully.
The two smiled at each other, and saw a hint of surprise and understanding of each other’s “hidden strength” in each other’s eyes.
The Porsche started again and drove smoothly out of the wealthy area and headed towards the venue of the dinner – the Rice Flower Central Hotel.
Mika Central Hotel is one of the top five-star hotels in Mika City.
When the Porsche driven by Lu Ning arrived at the hotel entrance, a uniformed doorman immediately came forward, respectfully took the car keys, and took charge of parking the car.
Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie walked into the hotel lobby side by side, and then took the exclusive elevator directly to the banquet hall on the top floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, melodious classical music and the sounds of chattering and laughter came into my ears.
The scene before us is magnificent and luxurious to the extreme.
The huge crystal chandelier emitted brilliant light, illuminating the entire banquet hall like daylight.
The long dining table covered with a white tablecloth was filled with a variety of exquisite delicacies and expensive wines.
Well-dressed waiters carrying trays moved among the crowd.
The guests in the banquet hall were all well-dressed and had extraordinary demeanor.
Lu Ning took a quick look and found that this was a place where celebrities gathered.
He saw several familiar faces that often appeared on TV financial channels and entertainment news.
There are smiling and smooth-talking business tycoons, elegant and sharp-eyed politicians, and many popular stars who are glamorous and the center of attention.
There were so many handsome men and beautiful women, well-dressed and drinking happily.
“Ms. Miyazawa, this is quite a spectacle tonight.”
Lu Ning retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Miyazawa Rie beside him, raised his eyebrows, and whispered, “This organizer is very generous.”
Miyazawa Rie smiled slightly and explained softly: “The organizer of tonight is Mr. Kobayashi Yuji, he is a respected senior in the entertainment industry, and he is almost sixty years old this year.
Although it was a private dinner, he had a wide network of contacts and contacts, so naturally there were many people who came to support him, from all walks of life. “
It turned out to be the place of a big shot in the entertainment industry.
Lu Ning understood, picked up the champagne handed to him by the waiter, and was about to clink glasses with Miyazawa Rie when his eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd again.
Suddenly, his gaze focused on a figure not far away.
She was a young woman wearing a white dress, with a sweet and innocent smile and a pure and lovely temperament, and was surrounded by several people talking.
This face… Lu Ning’s eyes rolled, and he felt it was extremely familiar.
This is not…
He squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
Oh? It’s her?
Chapter 42: First meeting with Yoko Okino! (Old version)
Chapter 42: First meeting with Yoko Okino!
Lu Ning’s gaze lingered on the beautiful figure for a moment.
That’s right, it’s her—Yoko Okino!
Now a super popular idol singer all over Japan, he has captured the hearts of thousands of fans with his sweet smile and pure and lovely image.
At this moment, she was wearing a simple yet stylish white dress, and was surrounded by several guests who also looked distinguished.
Her face was filled with her signature, innocent smile, like that of a girl next door, and she politely responded to everyone’s attempts to chat her up.
I have to say, the real person is more dazzling than he looks on TV.
Lu Ning stared at her for a moment, a playful smile on his lips.
I didn’t expect to meet this idol of “Sleeping Kogoro” here.
“Mr. Lu Ning knows Miss Yangzi?”
Miyazawa Rie’s voice came from the side with a hint of coldness.
Lu Ning turned his head and found that Miyazawa Rie had followed his gaze and looked at Okino Yoko.
At this moment, she was looking at him with a slightly frown, and there seemed to be a barely perceptible trace of inquiry in her eyes.
“Oh? Ms. Miyazawa, you mean Ms. Okino Yoko?”
Lu Ning smiled slightly, pretending to be surprised, “Of course I know him. He is the most popular idol singer in Japan now. He has been on TV and in advertisements. It is hard not to know him.”
Hearing his slightly official answer, Miyazawa Rie’s brows seemed to relax a little:
“She’s my friend.
If you are interested in her, I can introduce her to you.”
The tone sounded a bit like a girlfriend questioning her boyfriend, or like she was asserting some kind of sovereignty.
Lu Ning smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this beautiful traffic policewoman is not completely without feelings for him.
He didn’t point it out, but went with the flow, with just the right amount of surprise and expectation on his face:
“Really? That’s an honor!
To be honest with you, Ms. Miyazawa, I am really a loyal fan of Ms. Yoko! Her singing voice is simply heavenly!”
Lu Ning deliberately acted like a little fan and spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Miyazawa Rie couldn’t help but glare at him.
But he kept his promise, took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, held the wine glass, and walked gracefully towards Yoko Okino.
“Yoko.”
Miyazawa Rie walked over and greeted her with a smile.
“Ah, Rie! You’re here!”
When Yoko Okino saw Rie Miyazawa, her eyes lit up and she greeted her warmly. It seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.
“Let me introduce you to a friend,”
Miyazawa Rie turned sideways and introduced Lu Ning behind her to Okino Yoko, “This is Mr. Lu Ning.”
Then he said to Lu Ning, “Mr. Lu Ning, this is Miss Okino Yoko.”
“Ms. Yoko, I have heard of your name for a long time. Now that I see you today, you are indeed stunning.”
Lu Ning took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and had a sincere and appreciative smile on his face.
“Hello, Mr. Lu Ning. You are so polite.”
Yoko Okino smiled politely and gently held Lu Ning’s hand, which felt soft and delicate.
She looked at the man in front of her curiously. He was not from the circle, but he had a calm temperament, deep eyes, and an extraordinarily handsome appearance. Standing next to Miyazawa Rie, they seemed to be a perfect match.
“What does Mr. Lu Ning do?”
Okino Yoko asked curiously.
“I run a small coffee shop.”
Lu Ning said lightly.
“Café?”
When Yoko Okino heard this, her eyes widened, seeming a little surprised.
The person who could be personally introduced by Miyazawa Rie and who was allowed to enter such occasions was just a cafe owner?
Miyazawa Rie added: “Mr. Lu Ning’s coffee shop is very special. I will take you to try it next time I have a chance.”
“Okay, okay!”
Yoko Okino immediately became interested.
Just like that, the three of them stood in a corner of the banquet hall and chatted about coffee, music, and some current interesting stories.
Lu Ning is humorous and knowledgeable.
Whether it is gossip in the entertainment industry or certain social phenomena, he can always express his own unique insights.
This often caused Yoko Okino to cover her mouth and chuckle, listening with great interest.
Lu Ning did not seem overly attentive or nervous just because the other party was a popular idol.
Instead, his conversation was as natural and smooth as if he were chatting with an old friend. This calm demeanor made Yoko Okino like him even more.
Most of the time, Miyazawa Rie just listened quietly by the side, occasionally interjecting a word or two.
Looking at Lu Ning chatting happily with his good friends, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
On the one hand, I feel a little proud of Lu Ning’s charm.
On the other hand, seeing that he was equally at ease with other beautiful women made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The atmosphere of the dinner became more and more lively, the music became louder, and the guests toasted each other.
The organizer, Mr. Yuji Kobayashi, came over in person to toast. During the conversation, he expressed his admiration for Miyazawa Rie, the flower of the police force, and was also very polite to her male companion Lu Ning.
After a few rounds, whether out of politeness or to create a good atmosphere, Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie drank a lot of wine.
Champagne, red wine, sake…all kinds of alcohol mixed together, and gradually, the eyes of both of them began to become a little drunken.
Fragments of memory began to become blurry.
It seemed that Mr. Kobayashi saw that they had drunk a lot and asked them with concern whether they needed a room to rest.
It seemed that Miyazawa Rie was drunk, her cheeks were flushed, her body was a little unstable, and she leaned on Lu Ning.
It seemed that Lu Ning was supporting her, and they followed the waiter through twists and turns to a quiet room.
What happened afterwards… is completely fragmentary.
The dazzling sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, falling on my face, bringing a slight burning sensation.
Lu Ning rubbed his swollen temples. His head was splitting with pain and the aftereffects of a hangover began to show.
He opened his eyes blearily, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling and luxurious hotel room layout.
Hmm? Where is this?
I moved my body and wanted to sit up, but I felt something soft and warm pressing on my arm. At the same time, a faint feminine fragrance lingered at the tip of my nose.
Lu Ning lowered his head suddenly.
The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw Miyazawa Rie lying on her side in his arms, her sleeping face peaceful, her long eyelashes like two small fans, her breathing even, but her cheeks were abnormally flushed, obviously she was still hungover.
What made Lu Ning’s heart beat faster was that the two people’s attitude at the moment was extremely ambiguous.
They were practically hugging each other, his arms around her waist and Miyazawa Rie’s hands on his chest.
Their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, and they could even feel the temperature of each other’s skin and heartbeat.
And…the clothes worn by both of them are unusually cool!
Lu Ning found that his upper body was naked, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs.
And Miyazawa Rie…
The royal blue evening gown she was wearing was long gone, and she was only wearing a set of black lace underwear.
Large areas of snow-white skin were exposed to the air, rising and falling slightly with her breathing, exuding amazing temptation.
What…what’s going on?!
Lu Ning’s brain froze instantly. The vague fragments of last night resurfaced in his mind, but he couldn’t remember how things had developed to this point.
What did they… do last night?
Just as Lu Ning was shocked and dazed, Miyazawa Rie in his arms seemed to be disturbed by his movement. She moaned, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.
When her sleepy eyes saw Lu Ning’s face so close to her, they suddenly opened, and all the sleepiness and confusion were replaced by astonishment and shame.
She looked down suddenly and saw her almost naked body and the two of them hugging each other tightly.
“ah–!”
Miyazawa Rie subconsciously let out a short cry of surprise, and her cheeks instantly turned red all the way to her ears.
Eyes met.
The air seemed to freeze.
The two looked at each other and saw the same shock, confusion and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“I…we…last night…”
Miyazawa Rie’s lips were trembling, and she seemed a little flustered, completely not knowing what to say.
Lu Ning also felt a little embarrassed and was about to explain something, even though he himself couldn’t remember what happened…
Just at this moment!
“ah–!!!!”
An extremely shrill and terrified scream suddenly came from outside the room!
The sound was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the eardrums and was filled with extreme fear. It instantly broke the tranquility of the early morning and interrupted the suffocating awkwardness in the room!
Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie trembled at the same time, and their faces changed suddenly!
Something happened!
Chapter 43 The corpse of a woman in red by the swimming pool! (Old version)
Chapter 43 The female corpse in red by the swimming pool!
The shrill scream that pierced the sky was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the charming, ambiguous and extremely awkward atmosphere in the hotel room.
Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie were both shocked by this sudden change.
Miyazawa Rie reacted very quickly, almost like a conditioned reflex, and pushed away Lu Ning who was still pressing on her, broke free from his arms, and moved backwards using her hands and feet to create some distance.
The alcohol from last night had completely dissipated, replaced by extreme shame and a hint of vigilance caused by the screams.
Miyazawa Rie’s cheeks were burning hot. She didn’t dare to look at Lu Ning. Her eyes hurriedly swept over the only remaining lace underwear on her body, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.
She was frantically searching on the ground for the royal blue evening dress she had worn last night.
It was seen discarded carelessly on the carpet at the foot of the bed, along with other clothing.
I can’t care about much anymore.
Miyazawa Rie hurriedly grabbed her clothes.
With her back to Lu Ning, she put her evening gown back on as quickly as possible.
Although the skirt was a little wrinkled due to her hasty movements and the zipper was a little difficult to pull up, it finally covered up the embarrassing scene.
After putting on her clothes, Miyazawa Rie still stood there with her back to Lu Ning, feeling uneasy.
She tugged at the hem of her skirt with her hands helplessly, not knowing how to deal with this embarrassing situation, let alone how to face the man behind her.
In sharp contrast to her panic, Lu Ning seemed unusually calm.
Lu Ning sat up from the bed, but did not rush to comfort or tease the embarrassed Miyazawa Rie. Instead, he calmly found his clothes and dressed himself slowly.
It seemed as if the beautiful and ambiguous moments of sleeping in the same bed last night and seeing each other naked this morning were all just passing clouds.
After adjusting his collar and cuffs, Lu Ning turned around and walked towards Miyazawa Rie, who still had her back to him.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Miyazawa Rie’s body stiffened and she subconsciously dodged for a moment, her shoulders slightly hunched.
Lu Ning stood behind her without saying anything. He just reached out his hand, gently held her shoulders, and asked her to turn around.
Miyazawa Rie was forced to turn around, still with her head down, not daring to look him in the eye, her cheeks so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
Lu Ning raised his hand and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to raise her head.
Then, while Miyazawa Rie was staring in surprise for a moment, he lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
This kiss was like the brush of a feather, with a hint of soothing meaning, which calmed Miyazawa Rie’s pounding heart a little, but also made her more at a loss.
“Rie,”
Lu Ning stared into her red eyes and said seriously, “I remember I said I liked you outside the warehouse last time.”
Miyazawa Rie trembled slightly and bit her lip. The scene of that night was still vivid in her mind.
“You didn’t give me an answer then.”
Lu Ning asked, “Now, after what happened last night… Although everything is innocent between us and nothing happened,”
He emphasized this sentence deliberately, as if to dispel her doubts, or to state a fact:
“But if a man and a woman stayed in the same room overnight, it would be bad for your reputation, especially as a police officer.”
Miyazawa Rie’s heart sank, knowing that what Lu Ning said was true.
For police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department’s Traffic Division, image is very important.
If people knew that she stayed overnight in a hotel with a man in such an unclear situation, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Ning looked at her changing expression and continued solemnly, “So, Lihui, I ask you again, are you willing to be my girlfriend? I will be responsible for you.”
Another confession is also a heavy promise.
Miyazawa Rie’s eyes instantly became moist.
She raised her misty eyes and looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression and deep eyes.
You can feel that he said “responsible” not just because of his reputation, there seems to be some sincere emotion hidden deep in his eyes.
Last night’s indulgence, the embarrassment in the morning, the sudden scream, and this unexpected confession and promise at this moment…
All kinds of emotions intertwined together, making her feel confused, but there was also a strange sweetness spreading in her heart.
Miyazawa Rie was silent for a moment.
Finally, under Lu Ning’s expectant and inquiring gaze, her little face flushed, and she nodded slowly but with great force.
An almost inaudible “hmm” was his answer.
Seeing her nod, Lu Ning’s serious face finally broke into a smile. That smile was like sunlight breaking through the clouds, instantly lighting up the entire room.
Without further hesitation, he lowered his head again.
This time, it wasn’t a gentle test.
Instead, with a declaration and possession, he kissed Miyazawa Rie hard on the lips!
This kiss, hot and domineering, with an irresistible power, swept away all of Miyazawa Rie’s thoughts.
She froze for a moment, then accepted her fate, feeling aroused, and responded awkwardly.
The relationship that had just been confirmed was “stamped and certified” in the most direct way.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Both of them were a little breathless, looking at each other’s face so close, with a hint of complicated emotions in their eyes.
Before the afterglow of the kiss of love faded away, Lu Ning was the first to regain his senses.
He patted Miyazawa Rie’s shoulder gently, his expression serious, and said:
“Okay, Rie, let’s put the tenderness aside for now.
We have to go out and check what that scream was about. It doesn’t sound like a prank.”
When it comes to business, Miyazawa Rie immediately calms down.
Although he is just a traffic policeman, his sense of police responsibility is ingrained in his bones.
She nodded vigorously, her eyes returning to her usual capable look:
“Yeah, you’re right! Let’s go check it out!”
The two of them quickly tidied up their appearance to make sure there was nothing unusual, then quickly opened the door and walked out.
There was already some commotion in the corridor. Some residents who were also awakened by the screams stuck their heads out and whispered, with confused expressions on their faces.
Lu Ning and Miyazawa Rie looked at each other, ignored the people around them, and walked quickly in the direction where the screams came from – the open-air swimming pool area behind the hotel.
Through a glass door, the fresh air from outside blew in, bringing with it clearer and more continuous wailing sounds.
When they arrived at the swimming pool, the scene before them made both of them shrink their pupils and gasp!
I saw a female body floating in the sparkling blue swimming pool!
The woman was wearing a bright red dress, like a flower of death blooming in the water. The color was glaring, forming a shocking contrast with the blue water of the pool.
Floating face down with long hair spread out, the face cannot be seen clearly, but the stiff posture silently announces the passing of life.
On the smooth tile floor beside the swimming pool, a middle-aged woman in a hotel cleaner’s uniform was slumped on the ground with a pale face.
He pointed at the female corpse in the water with his hands in horror and howled non-stop. It was obvious that he was the first person to discover it and was already scared out of his wits.
A few other residents who had also gotten up early had gathered around, talking among themselves, their faces filled with shock and fear.
Miyazawa Rie’s expression instantly became extremely solemn, and she subconsciously took a step forward. Her police instinct made her want to intervene immediately. Someone was dead.
Moreover, it was after such a celebrity-filled dinner.
Things are getting tricky.
