Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 133 Eri, from now on we're all in the same boat.
buzz
Just then, Kitahara Natsuhiro's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

"Feel sorry."

Kitahara Natsuhiro said something, reached for his phone, opened it, and tapped on the text messages.

And this text message was from Xiaolan.

Oh no, I completely forgot I was supposed to meet Xiaolan today.

It was only then that he remembered that Ran had asked him to meet after school that morning, but because of Reiko Kujo's relationship with Eri Kisaki, he had forgotten about it.

I was so busy that I forgot.

Ran: [Teacher Kitahara, are you still at get off work?]

Looking at the text message from Xiaolan, Kitahara Natsuyu scratched his head and immediately replied.

Sorry, something came up. Xiaolan, please wait a moment, I'll be right there to find you.

Click to send.

A few seconds later, the phone buzzed again; it was another text message from Xiaolan.

Xiaolan: [Okay, or I can come find you over there.]

Just then, the text message buzzed again, but this time it wasn't Kitahara Natsuhiro's phone, but Kisaki Eri's.

Upon hearing this voice, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Kujo Reiko instinctively looked at Kisaki Eri.

Eri Kisaki quickly picked up her phone to check it. When she saw the text message, her expression became somewhat unnatural. She glanced at Kitahara Natsuhiro out of the corner of her eye before quickly focusing her attention on her phone.

Xiaolan: [Mom, why didn't you reply to my text message?]

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro still managed to discover it.

"Why is Eri looking at me all of a sudden? Could it be a text message from Ran about what happened this morning?"

Thinking of this, Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled slightly.

Xiaolan, you are my angel.

"Eri, it seems I've interrupted your good time."

Reiko Kujo leaned closer, glanced at the text message on her phone, and whispered something in Eri Kisaki's ear.

Upon hearing this, Eri rolled her eyes at her, muttered something under her breath, and began typing on her phone.

"It's not even close to being settled yet, don't talk nonsense."

Although the two spoke very softly, Kitahara Natsuhiro still heard them.

From their conversation, he knew he was pretty much right.

If nothing unexpected happens, the text message Ran sent was to introduce Eri to her boyfriend, which is him.

However, Eri Kisaki hadn't made up her mind yet, and with Reiko Kujo's request, things were delayed.

Sure enough, anxious Xiaolan started sending text messages to ask about it.

After Xiaolan had an epiphany, she stopped getting stuck on one particular issue, but then she started getting stuck on another one.

Eri Kisaki: [Don't worry about my business. Mind your own business and focus on your studies.]

Click and send.

She sighed after sending the text message.

She also discovered that Xiaolan had gone from one extreme to another.

It's really a headache.

At this moment, Reiko Kujo glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb Mr. Kitahara any longer."

"However, I still need to ask Mr. Kitahara for help with my matter."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Of course, there is no problem."

"However, you'll need to practice a bit more if you want to fool your father."

Reiko Kujo nodded and said, "I understand that too, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Kitahara with the follow-up matters."

"I owe you a favor."

Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor, and her father is at the very top of the prosecutor's office, so this favor is considerable.

so.
"Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Kitahara Natsuyu naturally accepted this favor; after all, it was something he would benefit from, so why shouldn't he accept it?

"Then let's get in touch again."

Reiko Kujo bowed slightly and then left her seat. Eri Kisaki did the same, bowing slightly, but stopped as she passed by Natsuhiro Kitahara.

"Mr. Kitahara, please take good care of Ran. I'll invite you to dinner next time I have time."

She hadn't forgotten about treating everyone to dinner, but today wasn't the right day.

After all, it's not appropriate for her to go out to dinner with other men right after her divorce.

And he also has Reiko Kujo by his side.

As for Xiaolan, she originally wanted Xiaolan to move to her place, but Xiaolan refused and insisted on staying at the office.

Therefore, she could only accommodate Ran and ask Kitahara Natsuyu to take good care of her.

As for Kogoro Mouri, she didn't count on him at all, since Ran had always been the one taking care of him.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Of course. Ran and I are neighbors, and she's also my landlord. I'll naturally take care of her. Please rest assured, Attorney Fei."

"Thank you so much. But you don't have to call me Attorney Ki, it sounds too formal. Just call me Eri. We're good friends now." Eri Ki blinked. "And you saved Ran too."

She had a pretty good impression of Kitahara Natsuhiro, so she didn't completely reject him when replying to Ran.

However, Kitahara Natsumi was too young, and she was a little embarrassed to make a move.

But you never know, let's talk about it later.

“Okay, Eri-nee.” Kitahara Natsumi readily agreed.

Anyway, whether you call someone "sister" or "sister" you, it doesn't matter.

"Um"

Eri was quite happy to be called "older sister," since it wasn't "auntie."

"Engli."

At that moment, Reiko Kujo, who was paying at the counter, turned around and called out. When she saw the two still talking, a smile flashed in her eyes.

"These two guys, could they really be hooking up?"

"Eri really likes this kind of young and fresh-faced guy?! But he is indeed very young, and also very sunny and handsome. If I had met him earlier, I might have liked him too."

"But if I have Mr. Kitahara pretend to be my boyfriend, wouldn't that be considered stealing someone else's love?"

Although she had never been in a relationship or experienced these things, she was a prosecutor and had seen a lot.

She has seen all the scenes that appear in some TV series, and even those she hasn't seen in real life, she has encountered in real life.

Because of this, she has a wealth of theoretical knowledge and can say whatever she wants, but that's about it.

"Okay, I'm here." Eri Kisaki called out, then turned to look at Natsumi Kitahara: "See you next time."

"See you next time."

Kitahara Natsuyu looked at Eri Kisaki and watched her leave with Reiko Kujo.

"Well, it's getting late, let's call Xiaolan over."

He had originally planned to go to the store to find Xiaolan, but at this time, the store would definitely be very busy.

So it's better not to cause trouble and let Xiaolan come here instead.

Anyway, it's quite close, only a few minutes away.

Then, Kitahara Natsuhiro took out his phone and sent a text message to Xiaolan.

The other side.
Eri Kisaki and Reiko Kujo walked hand in hand to the nearby parking lot, where Eri's Mini Cooper was located.

What did you say to your boyfriend just now?

Reiko Kujo turned to look at Eri Kisaki and teased her.

Upon hearing this, Eri spat and said with a smile, "What little boyfriend? We're just ordinary friends."

"Although Xiaolan is trying to set us up, I haven't agreed yet."

As for the reason, it's because Kitahara Natsumi is a little young, and she felt embarrassed.

Hearing this, Reiko Kujo said with a half-smile, "Since you don't want it, then I'll take it."

"It's perfect for turning a fake into a real thing, fulfilling the old man's dream."

Eri glanced at her: "So, will you get married?"

According to her understanding, Reiko Kujo probably won't get married.

"Of course not, but finding an excellent man to carry on the family line is still an option."

"This Mr. Kitahara is handsome, his height is just right, and he doesn't have any bad habits. He's a perfect match!"

She had observed Kitahara Natsuhiro while they were at the coffee shop.

He speaks politely, has an excellent appearance, doesn't smell of cigarettes, and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, doesn't have a drinking problem.

Such men are extremely rare in this era, so finding one to carry on the family line is the most suitable thing to do. Eri sighed, "How can someone who has never been in a relationship casually utter such lewd words?"

She felt that her understanding of Reiko Kujo was too one-sided; perhaps this was the real Reiko Kujo.

A woman who seems to be full of jokes, but is actually pretending to be strong.

Reiko Kujo said, "I've read a lot of prisoners' statements, so I know a lot. It's nothing."

She had seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, prisoners; there were all sorts of people among them.

So she knows a lot about these things, but only theoretically. If she were to actually do it herself, she wouldn't be able to do it well.

They have a wealth of theoretical knowledge but are terrible at practical skills; that's pretty much it.

"But... if I were to take this too seriously, you wouldn't mind, would you?" Reiko Kujo brought the topic back.

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki said helplessly, "We really have nothing. Even if you slept with him, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I don't plan to get married. At most, I'm just looking for a partner to satisfy my needs."

"You slept with him, so what? How many people these days have only been in one relationship?"

"Besides, Professor Kitahara is quite knowledgeable about matters between men and women, unlike someone like you who only knows theory."

She's a married woman, and divorced. Things she used to find hard to say, she can now say without hesitation, and she's starting to let loose.

Moreover, having been hurt once, she doesn't intend to be hurt a second time, so finding a partner who won't get married is the best option.

Of course, she'll only date respectable men; she won't just date anyone.

"So you're handling everything yourself now?"

"Shut up, mind your own business!"

She didn't want to tell Kujo Reiko such private matters.

Hearing this, Reiko Kujo smiled, not angry at her words, nor did she press further: "If that's the case, maybe we'll be in the same boat from now on!"

"Huh? What nonsense are you spouting now!"

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment, muttered something, but quickly understood what Reiko Kujo was talking about.

Her face immediately turned red. She felt that Reiko Kujo was much bolder than her, a real divorced young woman, and dared to say anything.

Is this the fantasy of a 33-year-old single woman?

I, Princess Eri, am utterly defeated.

"Please, you're a girl! You really say such things. If other people hear this, how will you and I ever be able to face each other again?"

Eri Kisaki shook off Reiko Kujo's arm, pretended to be angry, and stormed towards the parking lot.

Reiko Kujo watched Eri Kisaki's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"I have no choice. My husband is driving me crazy. This is the only way I can vent my frustration."

"And what those older women said was even more outrageous."

Reiko Kujo then followed.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Just take me home first."

In the coffee shop.

After Reiko Kujo and Eri Kisaki left, Ran also came here and sat in the spot where Eri Kisaki had been sitting, but their coffee had been taken away by the waiter.

"Xiao Lan, what would you like to drink? It's on me," Kitahara Natsuyu said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan shook her head, placed the notebook in her hand on the table, and pushed it over.

"I won't drink it. It's only a few minutes' walk from here to my house. If I want to drink it, I'll go back and drink it. There's no need to waste this money."

"I came here to give this to you, teacher."

"What is this...?" Kitahara Natsuyu looked at the notebook on the table.
Xiaolan smiled but didn't answer the question immediately: "Today I asked my mom what she thinks of you, teacher."

"Although she didn't say it explicitly, I think she has a very good impression of you, teacher."

"As for this, it's some information I've recorded. It contains some of my mother's personal preferences, such as what colors she likes and what foods she likes to eat. I hope it will be helpful to you, teacher!"

Although it only records some of Eri's likes and dislikes, this thing is a strategy guide.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro doesn't need this strategy guide, because he has a better, more direct way to win.

But since it was Xiaolan's hard work, he had no choice but to accept it.

Kitahara Natsuyu took the notebook and smiled, "Xiaolan, thank you. If I really succeed with Attorney Fei, I'll send you a red envelope."

Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't care about red envelopes or anything like that. All I want now is to see my mother happy."

"So my mom asked you for help, teacher."

The Kujo family.

Reiko Kujo returned to her mansion.

As I passed by a door, I was suddenly stopped by someone inside.

"Reiko, you're back."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with meticulously combed hair, a stern face, and a well-proportioned figure, who was kneeling on the tatami mat.

And he was also holding a stack of papers in his hand.

Hearing this voice, Reiko Kujo stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man inside the room: "Old man, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this, Kujo Kuranosuke glared at her and said in a low voice, "Reiko, you are being very rude. I am still your father."

"Father?"

Reiko Kujo's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery on her face. She strode over, sat down in front of him, and said sarcastically.

"If I were really your daughter, then you shouldn't have raised me like a man, and you wouldn't have used tricks on me when I was preparing to date, preventing me from even experiencing my first love."

"And after you found out I couldn't meet your expectations, you forced me to get married and carry on the Kujo family line."

"But now, I'm a 33-year-old woman with absolutely no dating experience, and nobody wants me anymore!"

Her life was truly ruined by that old man!

Kujo Kuranosuke knew he had done wrong and felt ashamed, but he did not regret it because he was responsible for the entire Kujo family.

As his daughter, Kujo Reiko should also shoulder the responsibility for the entire Kujo family; this is her innate mission, one she cannot escape.

“Reiko, now is not the time to say such angry things.” Kujo Kuranosuke said seriously, “These are all young talents I have selected. Take a look and see if there are any you like.”

He pushed the documents in front of Reiko Kujo.

Reiko Kujo picked up the documents on the tatami mat, flipped through them, and her mockery deepened: "Oh, they're all young men in their twenties."

"But do you think they'd want a 33-year-old woman like me?"

"Even if I really marry them, I don't think my married life will be good. They will definitely go back to find someone younger, and I will most likely be cheated on."

"Therefore, I refuse!"

After saying that, Reiko Kujo put the documents on the table and got up to leave the room.

The next second, Kuranosuke Kujo roared, "Reiko! Are you really going to force your father to his death?"

Reiko Kujo stopped walking, scratched her head in frustration, and sighed, "Actually... I have a boyfriend."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Kujo Kuranosuke's eyes widened as he stared at his daughter in disbelief, his inner thoughts blurting out, "You have this ability?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.
Upon hearing this, Reiko Kujo snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and turned around: "What did you say?!"

"Cough cough."

At this point, Kuranosuke Kujo realized he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry, Reiko, I'm just quite surprised."

"Since you have a boyfriend, could you bring him back for me to meet? I can help you decide if he's a good match."

"Of course, background doesn't matter. As long as they are genuinely good to you, that's enough."

As long as Lingzi is willing to get married, he doesn't have high requirements; as long as she has decent features and no bad habits, that's enough.

"The physical education teacher at Teitan Elementary School is named Kitahara Natsuhiro. This is his photo."

Reiko Kujo took out her phone and showed him a photo of Natsuhiro Kitahara.

She got the photo from Eri Kisaki, and Eri Kisaki got her photo from Ran.

Kuranosuke Kujo took the phone, looked at the photo on it, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

"Lingzi, you have excellent taste, just like your father!"

He was quite satisfied with Kitahara Natsuhiro in the photo, but he still needed to meet him in person to know the details.
"Lingzi, can you bring her back so I can meet her?"

There was a hint of pleading in Kujo Kuranosuke's eyes.

There's nothing I can do. I was wrong back then, so now I can only ask my daughter for help.

"Hey"

"Next weekend."

"Okay, it's settled."
