......

The Xia family of three were discussing how to sleep.

The three of them, now back at Yukiko's house, are being assigned rooms.

However, it's much simpler here.

Ran knew her mother and Yukiko must have a lot to talk about, so she smiled and said:

"Yukiko-neechan, you and Mom go back to your room. Don't worry about me. I'll take a shower first, then I'll go to the guest room myself."

"Xiao Lan is so sensible~"

Yukiko pinched Ran's smooth little face and sighed with some regret.

"Eri, don't you think it would have been so much better if I had given birth to a daughter? That way, she could have been best friends with Ran. Girls are so much better together, instead of ending up like Shinichi, a clueless mystery fanatic who's always making Ran angry!"

"Haha~"

Eri Kisaki, with a stern face, sneered:

"If you had a daughter with the same personality as you, she could drive Xiaolan crazy just like you are, just like how you annoy me all the time!"

"I didn't!"

Yukiko hugged Eri's slender waist and rubbed against her, immediately acting cute and coquettish.

"You always have such a long face, I just wanted to cheer you up!"

"Including what happened today?"

Looking at the charming and adorable face in front of her, Eri's anger inexplicably dissipated by more than half. She had been fooled by this girl's cuteness again!

Helplessly, she reached out her slender fingers and pinched her cheek, this time using a little more force.

"Tell me quickly, do you have some strange plans regarding the punishment for the dare?"

"No~"

Yukiko's face was being pulled, and she argued sweetly with her beautiful, watery eyes.

"I just wanted to cheer you up this time. I'll tell you when we go to sleep later~"

"It better be this way!"

Eri loosened her slender fingers and rolled her eyes at her.

"Or see how I deal with you!"

"Um, I'm going to take a shower now~"

Xiaolan just got up to go to the bathroom.

Thinking of the scene of her mother and Yukiko playfully fighting, she couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

My mother is always working, she's so busy, and she doesn't have many friends. I only go shopping and have meals with her occasionally.

Now that my best friend Yukiko has returned to Japan, I wish I could spend more time with her!

Furthermore, Mom seems more relaxed around Yukiko than with me. She probably needs to maintain a certain "motherly" image in front of me, but not with Yukiko; she can be her true self there.

When the two of them are together, it feels just like when I'm with Sonoko!

Speaking of gardens.

What's wrong with that girl these past two days?

She wouldn't answer my video calls, only communicating with me via text messages and phone calls, which clearly meant she was hiding something from me.

But thinking about it, it's obvious that she's gotten in better shape and is preparing to give herself a huge shock, you brat!

..........

In the master bedroom.

After taking a shower, Eri and Yukiko were already in bed.

Yukiko had a mischievous smile on her pretty face, her small hand making a grasping motion, as if she was savoring something.

"Eri, you've kept up great these past few years. You haven't changed much since the last time we met. How did you do that?"

"You bitch!"

Although she was somewhat prepared, Yukiko's behavior in the bathroom earlier still made Eri blush and exclaim that she couldn't stand it. Now, seeing her ask such a question again, she couldn't help but say speechlessly, "Why are you asking this? You haven't changed in appearance or figure since you turned twenty, do you still need to think about this kind of question?"

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just naturally beautiful, and not getting old is a real problem too—young people keep trying to chat me up, it's so annoying!"

Yukiko narcissistically flipped her hair.

Eri Kisaki calmly replied:

"So you just handed Xia Ye a free kill, right?"

"That's right~"

Now that she had already been honest with Eri, Yukiko naturally brought up the topic.

"And right here in this room?"

Eri looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the large wedding photo hanging on the wall.

"Yes, let me tell you~"

Yukiko knew what she was looking at, and a strange smile appeared on her pretty face as she leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

...... ........ ...

Eri Kisaki's mouth dropped open at her words, her beautiful eyes wide with shock. She exclaimed speechlessly, "Yukiko, you...you...how could your values ​​be so warped?!"

"Humph!"

Yukiko reached out and hugged her waist, coldly snorting:

"My values ​​crumbled the moment I saw that Yuzuo had cheated!"

"You!"

Eri's pretty face turned bright red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. It was mainly because what Yukiko had just said was too provocative and challenged her language system.

"Okay~"

Yukiko realized she had been too shameless and quickly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about your dare punishment~"

"What do you want to do?"

Eri Kisaki instantly became alert. With her values ​​warped now, Yukiko was probably capable of anything. After hearing what she had just said, Yukiko's danger level had skyrocketed.

"Like this, like this~"

Yukiko leaned close to Eri's ear again and whispered something.

"impossible!"

Eri Kisaki flatly refused.

She hardened her face, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions, and looked at Yukiko with a reproachful tone: "It's one thing for you to be depraved, but you also want to drag me down with you!?"

"If it doesn't work, then forget it."

To Eri's surprise, Yukiko's decision to give up came without warning.

She didn't seem to care whether Eri agreed or not. After getting the answer, she yawned, hugged Eri's waist, and closed her eyes.

Goodnight, Eri~

Eri Kisaki felt like she had punched a cotton ball.

The sudden surge of anger had nowhere to go. After staring at Yukiko's face, which was so close to hers, for a long time, she sighed, turned off the wall lamp, and closed her eyes.

Goodnight! (Knife)

Chapter 71 Yoko Okino's Practice Room

the next morning.

Sunlight has filled the entire living room.

Xia Ye yawned as she walked down the stairs from the second floor.

Ai followed his movements, tugging at his clothes and walking closely behind him.

Do not misunderstand.

Nothing happened last night.

Those two are just too good at sleeping!

"Xia Ye, Xiao Ai, you're awake~"

A gentle voice came from downstairs. Xiao Lan was holding a small pot that was emitting steam as she greeted them.

"Xiaolan?"

Xia Ye rubbed her eyes, somewhat surprised.

Why is Xiaolan still at home? She's even wearing an apron, looking like a young wife preparing breakfast for her husband.

Ai, still half-asleep, looked at her wrinkled pajamas and then at Ran, who was dressed neatly and full of energy. She couldn't help but think, "No wonder she's the pure and kind angel heroine. She's so virtuous, capable, and lovable."

Compared to others, I'm really lazy for sleeping in late~

But it doesn't matter, I'll just give up. Anyway, Xia Ye will like "683" no matter what!

"Mom went to the office early this morning. I don't have class today, so I want to chat with Ai and Xiao Ai~"

Xiao Lan placed the small pot on the dining table, opened the lid, and the rich aroma of grains immediately filled the air. She smiled and said:

"You two go wash up, dinner will be ready soon~"

"Okay~"

Xia Ye and Xiao Ai went to wash up.

When we returned to the restaurant, the tables were already set with all sorts of breakfast options.

Multigrain porridge, vegetable rolls, miso soup...

"By the way, it's not even eight o'clock yet, Xiaolan, why doesn't your mother stay and have breakfast before going to work?"

Xia Ye took the bowl of mixed grain porridge that Xiao Lan had prepared and handed to her, took a vegetable pancake, took a bite, and asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know either~"

Xiao Lan also looked puzzled.

"The firm doesn't open until nine o'clock, there's plenty of time, but Mom just left already~"

"That's because she's shy."

Yukiko pushed open the villa door and walked in, sitting down at the dining table as if she were in her own home.

"Xiao Lan, get me a bowl of porridge!"

"Good~"

Ran ladled out a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Yukiko.

What do you mean by "thin-skinned"?

"A dare punishment!"

Yukiko took a sip of porridge and said with a smile:

"Last night before bed, I told her about the punishment for the truth or dare, and she actually refused!"

"Hmph! Not following the rules!"

"You definitely want her to do something outrageous!"

Ran looked at Yukiko and defended her mother, saying, "If it's a normal thing, Mom would never refuse!"

"Oh dear, that was a little bit excessive, but it's alright~"
