Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 224 Yukiko is Jealous, The Strange Job Applicant

The next day.

Kitahara Natsuyu opened his eyes in bed, looked at the ceiling, and sighed, "It's a little strange not having a woman around."

In the past, I would wake up to find everything soft and warm beside me. Now, all that's left is warmth, not softness. It feels like something's missing, and I'm not used to it.

But you get used to these things.

"It's still the weekend, I need to go help out at the shop later." Kitahara Natsumi sat up in bed.

Because Yukiko is resigning, the restaurant is currently hiring, and because it's the weekend, there are more customers than usual.

So he didn't have time to laze in bed anymore.

As for the Kujo family, he won't go there for the time being. After all, Kujo Reiko is still weak, and Kujo Kuranosuke has gone a bit crazy.

If buying diapers and formula so early on doesn't raise suspicions, then things could get a bit complicated.

I reckon they'll cause trouble for Reiko.

As for why we didn't cause him any trouble?
Of course, it's because Kujo Kuranosuke is a chauvinist. If he encountered something like this, he would definitely have his wife get checked instead of going to the hospital himself.

However, there was no problem between him and Lingzi. It was just that he was too strong, and Lingzi couldn't handle it, which made it difficult for her to get pregnant.

To summarize, their levels of life are somewhat different; his is too high, while Kujo Reiko's is a bit low.

If Reiko Kujo were a little stronger, there wouldn't be any major problems with her getting pregnant.

So exercise more and have sex a few times a week, and the child will get it.

He had already reminded Reiko Kujo of this.

"Get up, get up."

After sitting there for a few minutes, Kitahara Natsuhiro lifted the blanket, came out, opened the closet, took out a short-sleeved shirt, and put it on.

Then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

In no time, Kitahara Natsumi finished washing up, then took some of the frozen xiaolongbao he had made himself from the refrigerator, intending to steam them at the shop and eat them for breakfast.

only.
He had just stepped outside when he ran into someone he knew: the FBI agent next door, Jodie Starling.

Good morning, Ms. Judy.

Come to think of it, it seems like he hasn't seen Judy for a while. He's been quite busy lately, sometimes not at home, and even when he is, he hasn't run into her in the mornings.

I miss her terribly, I miss her shameless figure.

"Good morning, Kitahara-sensei." Judy nodded, her smile somewhat forced.

"Teacher Judy," Kitahara Natsuyu noticed that Judy's expression was a little off: "Are you in some kind of trouble?"

Judy's troubles are all related to Shuichi Akai.

Shuichi Akai was tormented by him quite a while ago and is probably still recovering.

He created all sorts of dreams for Shuichi Akai, ensuring he would never forget them.

Even someone as strong as Shuichi Akai is not exempt.

He admitted that Shuichi Akai was very skilled, but said, "This is a mental attack, which you can't handle."

“Ah,” Judy paused, “it’s nothing really, it’s just that my friend has been acting a bit strange lately.”

"He seems to be avoiding me, and also avoiding other people. It feels strange. I wonder what happened to him?"

Perhaps because she didn't have many friends here, she began to confide in Kitahara Natsuhiro about these things.

It seems strange that he's avoiding Judy and everyone else as well.

It seems the dream I made up for him worked.

After all, normal people would feel like they're living a life worse than death after experiencing those dreams, so it's not surprising that they would become strange.

It would be abnormal if they didn't become strange or weird.

"Avoiding you, and avoiding everyone else too?" Kitahara Natsuyu pondered. "Perhaps something happened at home."

"Did something happen at home?"

Upon hearing this, Judy paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something.

Could it be that something went wrong in London?

At this time, Judy was unaware that Mary Akai and Masumi Sera had arrived in Japan and were living in this apartment building.

After all, the two of them lived on the floor below, and they knew that Judy lived here, so naturally they wouldn't hang around in front of Judy all the time.

So at this point, Jodie was unaware that Shuichi Akai's mother and sister had arrived.

However, the statement about something happening at home was just something Kitahara Natsuhiro made up, a random excuse.

Then Judy made that connection, which is perfectly normal.

"I think that's the case. If someone suddenly avoids their best friend, something must have happened at home, otherwise they wouldn't do that."

“I think things will return to normal once the issues at home are resolved,” Kitahara Natsumi said casually.

normal?

Shuichi Akai won't become normal. After all, the shadows of those dreams won't just disappear. They will linger in his mind for a long time, causing him distress.

“Hmm.” Judy thought Kitahara Natsuhiro’s words made sense: “I think that’s how it should be.”

Ding Dong
At this moment, the elevator finally came down from below.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Judy entered the elevator together.

"Thank you, Kitahara-sensei," Judy said with a smile.

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "It's alright, we're all neighbors and good friends, there's no need to be so polite."

"By the way, it's the weekend today, are you planning to go out and stroll around Beika Town?"

“No,” Judy shook her head. “I’m going to see my friend today, the one I told you about from Beihu Elementary School.”

"I see," Kitahara Natsuhiro said. "I'm going to help out at the restaurant later."

"That's it"

Ding Dong
At this time, the elevator door opened.

After exiting the elevator and leaving the apartment building, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Judy went their separate ways.

He went to the restaurant, while Judy went to find her friends.

Half past eight in the morning.

Kitahara Natsuhiro walked over to the restaurant, and by then the restaurant doors were already open.

You can see inside through the glass outside. Yukiko is wiping the table inside, while Amuro Tooru is busy in the kitchen.

A job posting was displayed on the door.

However, we need to hire quite a few people this time, including people for the kitchen and front desk. We need to hire about three people in total.

Jingle Bell.
Kitahara Natsuhiro stood at the door for a moment, then pushed the door open and went inside, and the doorbell rang.

Yukiko, who was wiping the table, immediately looked towards the door, and blurted out her usual service phrase, "I'm so sorry, is it still... Xia Yu?"

"Good morning, Fumiyo," Kitahara Natsuhiro greeted with a smile.

Yukiko was naturally happy to see Kitahara Natsuhiro, but the thought of him spending the weekend with other women and even spending the night at one of their homes made her feel a little uneasy.

Although she doesn't fight for anything, she still feels a little upset and bitter when something like this happens.

I'm jealous, and I can't be appeased.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'm back now." Kitahara Natsuyu walked over and gently pulled Yukiko into his arms. The next second, Yukiko struggled, not because she was angry with Kitahara Natsuyu, but because...
"Cough cough."

"I didn't see anything."

At that moment, Amuro Tooru's voice came from the kitchen, and he looked at the scene in the living room with a smile on his face.

Although juggling multiple relationships is unethical, it doesn't stop him from watching the show here.

If Kitahara Natsuyu were to encounter a chaotic scene, he would definitely bring a stool to watch, along with some sunflower seeds and cola, to thoroughly enjoy the spectacle.

He only has a few hobbies: cooking, being a detective, and watching good shows.

"what"

Upon hearing that voice, Yukiko immediately broke free from Kitahara Natsuhiro's embrace, her face slightly flushed. She stood aside, fixing her hair to hide her guilty conscience.

Although she was past the age of being easily embarrassed, she still felt a little ashamed when outsiders discovered this, especially on the spot.

In particular, she was considered a third party.

"If you didn't see it, you didn't see it. So why are you saying anything?" Kitahara Natsuyu rolled her eyes at him and complained, "Look, you've scared Fumiyo half to death."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have spoken up," Amuro Tooru said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko looked at the two of them and said irritably, "Are you two performing stand-up comedy here? Get back to work."

"I won't be coming in a few days, so we should hire some people sooner rather than later."

Now that Amuro Tooru already knows about this, there's nothing left to hide.

After all, she is an older, married woman, and she has long since developed a thick skin.

It was just a little nerve-wracking at the beginning, but now I'm fine and quite relaxed.

The older sister's composure.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's get to work right away." Kitahara Natsuyu readily agreed: "Oh right, I almost forgot about this."

He picked up the bag in his hand and then came over to Amuro Tooru.

"Amuro, could you please steam these things? These are some xiaolongbao I made earlier, consider them for breakfast."

Amuro Tooru took the bag and said with a smile, "Perfect timing. Neither Fumiyo nor I have had breakfast yet, so your xiaolongbao is just in time."

"I didn't eat any, so I'll just steam them all."

This bag of xiaolongbao contains forty dumplings, which should be enough for three people.

“Okay, leave it to me.” Amuro said, “Also, some job applicants will be coming today, so I’ll have to trouble you to entertain them.”

“No problem.” Kitahara Natsuyu gave an OK sign. “I’m here today to help out. Just leave anything to me.”

"As expected of the boss, he's really reliable."

Amuro Tooru gave a thumbs up and walked into the kitchen.

Then, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yukiko started wiping the table outside.

"How are things going with Yuhei Edogawa and Rias?" Yukiko asked in a low voice. "They haven't given you any trouble, have they?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro sent some damaging information about Rias to Kudo Yusaku and Rias, causing them to suffer a loss and now they are in a very bad mood.

Given Rias's personality, she'll definitely retaliate.

As for Yusaku Kudo, she's not sure about him now either.

After all, people change, and even smart people can get stuck on trivial matters.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "No, everything is calm and peaceful."

"But I know that the two of them had a big fight and postponed the time for getting their marriage certificate, and they want to make a decision after the child is born."

He was present throughout the entire argument between Yusaku Kudo and Rias, so they didn't have the time or energy to cause trouble for themselves.

Moreover, he's not afraid of causing trouble.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately understood something, and a smile of anticipation appeared on her face: "So, the child in Rias's belly might not be Edogawa Yuhei's?"

She had also seen Rias's videos and photos; they were indeed stimulating.

Black, white, old, young, they're all there.

Therefore, the child in her belly may not necessarily be Yusaku Kudo's child.

This is truly something to be happy about.

Yukiko was already somewhat pleased.

“Possibly,” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded. “However, this kind of woman will probably take precautions, but some people don’t like that, and they might get pregnant at any time.”

"Then she slept with Yuhei Edogawa and got pregnant."

"So whether it's his child or not is really uncertain. We can just wait for the results, which will only take a few months, very soon."

Although time in the Conan world doesn't move forward, things like pregnancy and childbirth do push time forward, but it's still within the time loop.

So, a few months later, they will see a baby, but this baby may not grow up and will remain the same size forever.

Unless Conan returns to his original form and restores time to normal.

"It looks really interesting," Yukiko said happily.

She would be very happy whenever Yusaku Kudo was in trouble, and now she had broken up with that heartless man, Yusaku Kudo.

Even if Kudo Yusaku leaves with nothing, she will never forgive him.

After all, it was Kudo Yusaku who cheated.

"I think Rias will be getting a checkup in Tokyo so we can find out the baby's due date and then we can watch the show." Kitahara Natsuhiko was also quite eager to see this happen.

There is a 50% chance of having a child with a different skin color.

By the time.
Kudo Yusaku's head is completely covered in green.

Of course, he's now completely cuckolded.

"Is this thing easy to make?" Yukiko asked.

“Easy, I have friends here, I can get them in no time.”

The friend he mentioned is Vermouth. All we need to do is have Vermouth investigate, and we'll get the answer. It won't take any effort at all.

"That's good. I definitely want to see what he looks like then." Yukiko clenched her fist.

She was extremely angry about Yusaku Kudo's betrayal.

"Okay, I'll call you to come along then."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Jingle Bell.
Just then, the restaurant door was opened again.

Yukiko and Kitahara Natsuhiko instinctively turned their heads to look over.

"Sorry, it's not business hours yet," Yukiko said apologetically.

Upon hearing this, the person standing at the door scratched the back of his head: "Excuse me, I'm not a guest, but someone who came to apply for a job. I saw the job posting outside. Are you still hiring?"

Yukiko nodded and looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro beside her: "Hiring?"

"This is our store manager, you can talk to him."

Kitahara Natsuyu looked at the blindfolded applicant in front of him and nodded, "May I ask who you are...?"
