4:30 PM

After a day of work, Lin Jiayou drove back to his villa from Beihu Detective's 'Mahjong Parlor'.

He began preparing dinner for Miss Shirley, who had worked all day.

After so much practice, Lin Jiayou's cooking skills, while not quite masterful, have at least improved beyond being unpalatable...

"I'm back--"

With the sound of a door opening, Sherry walked in, her voice drawn out and her face full of exhaustion.

As soon as she entered, she threw her white coat aside and tossed herself forcefully onto the sofa...

"came back?"

Lin Jiayou glanced at Shirley over there and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Come and eat as soon as you get back."

"Here I am, here I am..."

Upon hearing the word "eat," Shirley instantly felt refreshed and rushed over, full of energy.

Lin Jiayou had prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and as soon as someone sat down at the table, he immediately prepared rice, ready to start eating...

The two ate a couple of bites, and Lin Jiayou, watching Miyano Shiho shoveling rice into her mouth, couldn't help but speak up.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

"Also, if you feel tired in the future, use your internal energy to run a couple of laps around the area that's tired; it will have a great effect on relieving fatigue..."

"Okay, okay, I know,"

While eating, Shirley mumbled something indistinctly.

"You've said that countless times, of course I understand the principle..."

"I know you're still so tired..."

Lin Jiayou didn't quite understand.

Sherry put down her chopsticks and bowl, looked at Lin Jiayou, and said in an annoyed tone,

"Really, you make it sound so easy."

"I'm mentally exhausted, mentally exhausted, okay?!"

"I've hit a bottleneck in my research lately, and I feel like I'm going to lose all the hair on my head from exhaustion..."

"Oh, even a genius beauty like Sherry has her limits..."

Lin Jiayou said with a teasing smile.

Sulli put her hands on her hips.

"What kind of talk is that!"

"I'm just a researcher, not God. How could I not have bottlenecks?"

"Besides, even God might have moments of mental instability and make mistakes in the heat of the moment; otherwise, why would He have created a non-human monster like you..."

"hehe,"

Lin Jiayou chuckled softly.

"Please do not underestimate Miss Shirley."

“You’re not much different from me now, and you even have a research skill that’s maxed out.”

"cut--"

Sherry pouted.

She seemed to suddenly remember something, and her expression towards Lin Jiayou turned displeased.

"You have the nerve to criticize me? Think about what you did today!"

"I?"

Lin Jiayou frowned slightly.

"What did I do?"

"Have you been cooking here all day?"

Seeing that Lin Jiayou wouldn't admit it, Shirley sneered.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Lin Jiayou's eyes, but he quickly admitted it.

"certainly........"

"Hmph! I knew it..."

"of course not."

Seeing that Shirley was so eager to criticize him, Lin Jiayou quickly finished speaking, as if taking a deep breath.

Sherry had already said half of her criticism, but now she was forced to take it back.

Her expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly forced a charming smile, gracefully walked to Lin Jiayou's side, wrapped her arms around his neck, and breathed sweetly into his ear.

"I knew my husband wouldn't lie!"

Eek—

Lin Jiayou seemed to be allergic to this stuff, and shivered all over his body.

He subconsciously tapped Sherry on the head, then spoke in a rather irritated tone.

"speak nicely."

"Damn! Don't you have any sense of romance?!"

Shirley stopped pretending and pushed Lin Jiayou away.

She paused for a moment, then spoke again, her expression serious.

"Let me tell you, that gentleman called me today."

"Um?!!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayou immediately perked up.

He glanced at Shirley's expression and noticed her unusual seriousness, so he asked in a deep voice,

"What did that gentleman say?"

He asked me...

Sherry spoke each word carefully.

He stopped after saying just two words and began to observe Lin Jiayou's expression.

Lin Jiayou felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that he was to go on some secret mission and needed to leave Japan for a while?

Otherwise, that gentleman wouldn't have come to inform Shirley beforehand...

"He asked me, 'Why are you and tequila on TV again?'"

Sherry slammed her hand on the table, her face full of resentment.

"Do you know how heavy my heart was when I heard the news that you two were on TV!"

"I'm racking my brains trying to figure out how to advance the research, while you two are racking your brains trying to figure out how to waste your time!"

"........"

Lin Jiayou's lips twitched; he didn't want to speak.

After a moment, he hesitated before speaking.

"This...?"

"That's not enough!"

Sherry shouted loudly,

"I don't care anymore, you can't make such a big fuss while I'm not home!"

"You absolutely have to take me with you when you do anything fun!"

"Catching criminals is no fun at all..."

Lin Jiayou said speechlessly.

Sherry pouted.

You say it's not fun? Why don't you see yourselves on TV? How radiant your smiles are!

"So, that's what the gentleman wanted to talk to you about?"

Lin Jiayou still didn't quite believe that the gentleman would be so free, so she asked again.

A flicker of panic crossed Sherry's eyes, but she maintained a calm demeanor as she answered.

"Yes! This is it!"

"...6"

Lin Chia-yu has nothing to say...

It seems he really overestimated how serious that man was.

Well, this might also indicate that the organization's development is stable and positive, and the future is bright. That gentleman no longer needs to worry about too many things.

Otherwise, how can I explain it? He's always so bored, spending all his time talking to me about random, nonsensical things...

"correct,"

Lin Jiayou muttered a few words to himself, then remembered the promise he had made to Gin, and said to Sherry,

"I plan to visit Kimie Shimabukuro in a couple of days."

"It's not good to just leave her to study on her own all the time; we should at least keep an eye on her..."

"what?!"

Sherry was startled, then furious.

"You're actually going to go find her?!"

"Cough cough,"

Lin Jiayou coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed.

However, knowing that he had a clear conscience, Lin Jiayou regained his composure.

"I was just fulfilling my responsibility as a mentor."

"Besides, this is Gin's request..."

"Humph!"

Sherry gave a disdainful snort.

"Don't fucking try to fool me with Gin, I'm not stupid!"

"Who do you think you are? If you don't want to do something, does Gin think he can get you to do it?!"

"Tell me! What are your feelings for that woman?!"

"I'm not in the mood..."

Lin Jiayou said calmly.

Sherry gave a cold laugh.

"Okay, if you're not in the mood, then take me with you."

"In a couple of days, right? It's Sunday in two days, I'll go with you."

Lin Jiayou listened to Miyano Shiho's words and silently calculated the date in his mind.

Yesterday was Saturday, today is Tuesday, and the day after tomorrow is indeed Sunday...

"OK, no problem."

Lin Jiayou had a clear conscience, so he readily agreed.

After agreeing, he couldn't help but mention it again.

"I can take you, but you need to be mindful of the impact."

"Okay, okay, no problem..."

Sherry nodded repeatedly.

After finishing their dinner, the two started watching TV again.

I got tired of watching TV, so I played some action games for a while.

They hadn't played for a while, but the two of them were having a great time.

And every evening, towards the end, it's naturally time for the much-anticipated exercise...

For some reason, Miss Shirley's advances were more aggressive than usual tonight, which puzzled Lin Jiayou.

Sherry smiled without saying a word, and silently launched her attack.

She naturally wouldn't tell Lin Jiayou that the real purpose of the man's call was to ask if she was pregnant...
