"I was telling Yoko about what we just saw in the grove about Anzai extorting Nachi Shingo~"
"Yes, yes!"
Yoko Okino quickly chimed in:
"I never expected such a thing to happen!"
The two were now in perfect sync, after all, they had just been talking about Xiaolan. If Xiaolan knew that Xia Ye had told Chongye Yoko about her embarrassing secret, she would definitely be incredibly ashamed and annoyed and scratch him a few times.
Xiao Lan still looked somewhat suspicious.
However, she was too lazy to ask any more questions.
There's a lot of illicit stuff going on between these two.
It's perfectly normal for them to flirt around when I'm not around!
snort!
If you care about this—
We'll be too busy!
Placing the plate in front of Xia Ye, Xiao Lan couldn't hide her nature as a virtuous wife and loving mother, and subconsciously instructed softly:
"I brought you some food, eat it while it's hot. I didn't bring any alcohol. I can ignore Dad, but Xia Ye, you can't drink like that with him!"
"I know!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly.
Xiaolan's serious expression makes her look like a little housekeeper.
Even gentle, whispered instructions are not annoying.
On the contrary, I wanted to hear her say a few more words.
Yoko Okino's eyes were smiling.
No wonder Xia Ye kept saying in her diary that she liked Xiao Lan. This girl is indeed very lovable. At such a young age, she already has some wife-like qualities. Not to mention men, even I, a girl, am a little tempted.
As for Conan.
He was greeted with a mouthful of PDA as soon as he walked in, and it was from the girl he liked. He was speechless and quickly ran to the window to look at the scenery.
"What are you looking at?"
While Xiaolan and Yangzi chatted, Xia Ye brought over the plate and placed it on the windowsill, then struck up a conversation with Conan.
"Nothing~"
Conan pointed to the path leading to the gate in the yard:
"It seems like Miss Taeko is about to leave."
"Oh~"
Xia Ye narrowed her eyes slightly and said meaningfully:
"It's getting so late—"
"It's very dangerous for a girl to go out alone!"
"is that OK?"
Conan hesitated for a moment, then retorted:
"Miss Taeko's house is at a nearby shrine, so she must be very familiar with the area. There shouldn't be any danger!"
"Maybe!"
Xia Ye remained noncommittal.
They finished their meal quickly.
The four people started playing (acac) poker.
Time slipped away while playing cards.
The banquet outside has also ended.
"Hey, Shimazaki!"
"While you're at it, could you buy me a pack of cigarettes?"
The director's shouts came from the next room.
"Know it!"
Yuji Shimazaki responded from inside the courtyard.
He was clearly about to go out.
"Xiao Lan—"
Yoko Okino put down her cards and looked at Ran:
"Let's go to the convenience store and buy some snacks and drinks. Let's play a little longer tonight!"
"Good~"
The two beautiful girls stood up.
Ran looked at Xia Ye and Conan and said with a slight reproach:
"Miss Yoko and I need to change our clothes. You two can leave for a moment!"
"Oh~"
Conan obediently went out.
Xia Ye hesitated for a moment.
Then Xiaolan pushed him out from behind.
"No peeking!"
There was a rustling sound coming from the room.
This made Xia Ye somewhat distracted.
He regretted asking Ran to call Conan up earlier. If the kid hadn't been there, he might have shamelessly stayed in the room and not come out, and then he could have seen the beautiful woman changing clothes!
Not long after.
Xiaolan and Yangzi opened the door.
Xiaolan was still wearing her original clothes.
Yoko, however, changed into a simple, refreshing T-shirt and jeans, with large, narrow-rimmed black glasses perched on her upturned nose.
"Why do these glasses look so familiar?"
Xia Ye pondered for a moment:
"By the way, it looks a lot like Ai's!"
"Of course~"
Yoko Okino adjusted her glasses and giggled:
"I bought the same ones as Ai. She said that once you wear these glasses, no one can tell who you are. It's amazing!"
"This girl!"
Xia Ye chuckled to herself.
Back then, Ai was wearing those glasses, and I told her about Superman's glasses. I never expected her to actually believe it and even fool Yoko!
Xia Ye did not believe it.
Yoko didn't say much.
She and Xiaolan exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Both girls knew that these glasses were genuine, obtained through a reward opportunity in the logbook, and possessed the magical effect of turning them into ordinary people, making them perfect for a superstar like Yoko Okino, who was incredibly popular and known to everyone.
The four people walked out of the room.
Then, a piercing demonic sound effect came from not far away.
"It's Mr. Anzai!"
Ran and Yoko Okino looked towards the end of the corridor.
As Anzai walked down the stairs, the watch on his wrist, which he had bought from the United States, was making a distinctive noise.
We arrived at the hotel entrance.
Anxi has disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, Mamegaki Taeko, who had returned at some unknown time, stared at Anzai's retreating figure as if she had seen a ghost.
"Miss Taeko?"
"What happened?"
Xiao Lan walked over and asked with concern.
"No, it's nothing!"
Taeko Mamegaki looked flustered. After speaking, she hurriedly went into the inn and returned to her room.
"Strange~"
Xiao Lan muttered to herself.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it.
soon.
The group bought a large bag of snacks at the convenience store.
I also bought Conan an ice cream.
Watching him lick the ice cream bit by bit, Xia Ye sighed again. Sure enough, the body has a great influence on the soul. Even the shrunken Shinichi Kudo has unconsciously started to act like a child!
The convenience store is not close to the hotel.
There were only faint streetlights along the way.
but--
Xiaolan and Yangzi, however, didn't seem scared at all, and the two girls chatted away the whole way.
After all, Xia Ye was there.
Let alone criminals.
Even if a monster comes, Natsume can handle it.
That's why they feel at ease.
Talk while walking.
Before I knew it, I had passed by the Mihana Shrine.
"Da da da--"
A pebble that fell from the steps caught everyone's attention. Looking up, they saw a dark figure on the platform above. Upon seeing people, it ran to the side and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Is it the thief who stole the money for the incense oil?"
Yoko Okino was rather naive and offered a well-intentioned guess. However, there was an expert here. Conan threw down his ice cream without hesitation and rushed up the steps in the blink of an eye.
Xiaolan and Yangzi looked at Xia Ye with questioning eyes.
Xia Ye smiled and said:
"Since Conan is already gone—"
"Let's go take a look!"
"Hmm~".
