Lin Xiaofeng's voice was muffled by her hand: "But Eri, aren't you jealous that I went fishing with Yukiko?"

"You, you're talking nonsense."

Eri Kisaki immediately retorted, "I'm not jealous. I just want to ask you why you agreed to let Yukiko use my name to accept the award?"

"Do you know what? The next day, all my clients were asking me how to catch big fish!"

"Forehead……"

"I'll teach her a lesson for you next time."

Faced with the crisis, he chose to betray Yukiko.

Eri glanced sideways and snorted coldly, then released her hand.

Her gaze fell on the fallen leaves on the ground, her chest heaving, and she looked as if her anger had not yet subsided.

With a long "whoosh," birds flew out of the forest and disappeared into the setting sun.

Magnificent sunset.

Ritsuko Usui, who had been silent the whole way, seemingly deep in thought, suddenly looked up and asked (Mali's):

"Little Green, have you ever kissed before?"

Without hesitation, Kuriyama Midori replied, "No..."

As she spoke, she suddenly stopped scrolling through the photos and looked at Ritsuko Usui with a scrutinizing gaze.

Ritsuko Usui's expression changed slightly, somewhat embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said seriously:

"I just saw a movie while I was taking a walk."

"The male and female leads kissed for half an hour. I just want to ask you, Xiao Lü, is this normal?"

Upon hearing this, Kuriyama Midori tilted her head back slightly, her scrutinizing gaze intensifying, and asked suspiciously:

"A film featuring kissing that lasts half an hour..."

"Attorney Usui, you're not looking at something inappropriate for children, are you?"

"Cough cough cough-"

Ritsuko Usui blushed and hurriedly waved her hand to distance herself: "How could that be? I just noticed something strange."

But to say it's unsuitable for children does seem a bit too much...

534. Eri, I'm coming in.

Lingmeng (Kuriyama Nimura) seemed a little skeptical, her eyes narrowed, and she turned to wave behind her, calling out, "Teacher, Mr. Lin, come here quickly! Attorney Usui has some questions for you!"

Confused, Eri, along with Lin Xiaofeng who was holding her hand tightly, quickened her pace and caught up with the two.

"Attorney Usui, what's wrong?"

"I...I'm fine..."

Ritsuko Usui didn't dare look at Lin Xiaofeng, lowered her head, and replied with a embarrassed face.

Lin Xiaofeng touched his lips, understanding dawning on him.

But under those circumstances, could he really let Eri watch the squirrels for a while?

After discovering that it was Usui Ritsuko spying from not far away, he paid no attention to it.

If one's feelings are expressed but restrained by propriety, what is wrong with that?

Eri nodded slowly, taking it as her not wanting to show weakness to her.

At that moment, Kuriyama Midori patted Usui Ritsuko on the shoulder and laughed:

"Attorney Usui just asked me if kissing for 30 minutes is normal..."

"Mmm, Attorney Usui, what are you doing?" Kuriyama Midori pulled away Usui Ritsuko's hand that was trying to cover her mouth and continued:

"Teacher, you must have had this experience before, right? Is kissing for 30 minutes a normal thing?"

Upon hearing this, Eri stared blankly at Midori Kuriyama, then at Ritsuko Usui, her red lips slightly parted, clearly not expecting the two of them to ask such a question.

"teacher,

Why is your face red?

Eri Kisaki glared at her. "From the sun!"

"But……"

Lin Xiaofeng knew that if he didn't speak up soon, he wouldn't get any juice tonight, so he immediately said:

"Little Green, there are ultraviolet rays at night too. If you don't believe me, you can search it online."

Seeing his serious expression, Kuriyama Midori nodded, took out her phone, and started searching.

A few seconds later.

"It's true! It's really true!" the assistant exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xiaofeng withdrew his gaze from her and couldn't help but ponder:

Was she truly deceived, or did she finally realize what was happening?

……

Back at the hotel, everyone went to their rooms to shower and wash away any bacteria they might have picked up from the squirrels.

Lin Xiaofeng and Fei Yingli's rooms are separated by a long corridor.

To save time, he, like Ritsuko Usui, chose to use Eri Kisaki's bathroom.

"If she can use it, why can't I?"

Taking advantage of Eri's momentary daze, Lin Xiaofeng squeezed into the room.

Eri Kisaki could only shake her head helplessly, and then slowly closed the door.

Lin Xiaofeng sat on her bed like a rogue, patted the velvet comforter, and sighed:

"Eri, your bed seems more comfortable. Maybe I should wait a bit..."

"hehe."

Eri Kisaki, arms crossed and leaning against the door, interrupted him, sneering, "Attorney Usui is still next door. Don't you think I was embarrassed enough in front of those two just now?"

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled dryly: But you didn't stop me just now...

Of course, he wouldn't say that out loud.

Seeing that Eri was determined not to swim with him, he thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said:

“You’re right. If Attorney Usui misunderstands, it will be disastrous.”

"I think I should go back."

He got out of bed, opened the door without pausing, and left, closing the door behind him.

Eri Kisaki frowned slightly, staring at the door, and murmured to herself:

"Is this guy really that well-behaved today...?"

She quietly opened the door and peeked out.

His figure grew smaller and smaller in the corridor.

Judging from the distance traveled, they haven't stopped walking since they left the house.

Eri sighed and whispered, "Never mind, I'll just go see him after the lights are out next door tonight."

Having finally managed to get out of the house, she naturally had her own plans.

Having thought all this through, Eri Kisaki closed the door and went inside.

In the bathroom, after a short while, the sound of water droplets falling to the ground could be heard in the room.

Just then, the door opened.

Lin Xiaofeng wore a triumphant smile as he twirled a spare room key in his hand.

As a police officer, this identity can be quite useful in certain situations...

"Ahem, Eri, I suddenly remembered I left something inside this afternoon. I'm coming in..."

"what--"

……

That evening, at the restaurant, after receiving confirmation, the hotel staff brought everyone their dinner.

Kuriyama Midori pouted when she saw the reply on her phone and muttered:

"My stomach is growling! Are the three teachers alright yet...?"

Kuriyama Midori hesitated to eat, while Saku Norifumi was unsure whether to eat or not. After thinking for a moment, he put down his chopsticks and said:

“Secretary Kuriyama, Attorney Kiyoshi and the others told us to have dinner first.”

"Everyone must be hungry after walking so far today, so please don't be shy."

Kuriyama Midori pursed her lips and replied: Thousand Thousand Little Smile

"Forget it, I'll wait for the teacher and Attorney Usui to arrive before we all get together."

Kenzo Shiozawa silently stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, feeling indignant:

What? He just doesn't want to have dinner with us three middle-aged men. He's being quite tactful.

As expected of a secretary, she is indeed very adept at handling social situations.

A short while later, Ritsuko Usui, dressed in a light purple dress, entered the restaurant. She shrugged and bowed slightly, saying:

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I was watching my usual legal program and didn't see Xiao Lü's message in time."

“It’s okay, we’re almost finished eating, so you don’t need to feel sorry at all,” Yuji Mikasa said, scratching his head and grinning sheepishly.

Ritsuko Usui nodded, sat down next to Midori Kuriyama, and noticed her untouched plate, asking in surprise:

"Little Green, your dinner must be cold by now, right?"

"How about we swap mine for yours? My portion should be here soon."

Kuriyama Midori waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'll have them heat it up. Attorney Usui is too kind."

She remembered something and asked, "Attorney Usui, I asked you to call the teacher down for lunch. Where is the teacher now?"

Ritsuko Usui froze. Her mind, which had just been cleansed, became tainted again by the uncontrollable recollection of the sounds she had overheard from just a wall away not long ago.

535. Flawless

Kuriyama Midori added, "When I went to knock on the door earlier, the teacher happened to be taking a shower, so I came down first."

“Mr. Lin too.” Saku Norifumi, who lived next door to Lin Xiaofeng, looked up.

"I……"

Ritsuko Usui stammered, unsure how to answer her question.

Seeing this, Midori Kuriyama assumed that she had forgotten and smiled indifferently, "It's okay, I'll just go and call her again."

She had just gotten up from the sofa when two people walked into the dining room. It was Lin Xiaofeng and Fei Yingli, who had arrived late.

Seeing that the two had noticed him, Kuriyama Midori waved and sat down again.

At this moment, the plates in front of Kenzo Shiozawa and Yuji Mikasa were empty. The former glanced at Eri Kisaki, who had taken her seat, and said:

"Attorney Fei, I'll go back to my room after I finish eating. I still have a case to handle."

“Me too, I won’t stay here,” said Yuichiro Suga, chatting with the group.

Eri nodded and said, "No problem."

Kenzo Shiozawa has good emotional intelligence; he probably knows that staying would be pointless for socializing and would only make him an eyesore.

Yuji Mikasa, on the other hand, dislikes socializing, especially with women. He becomes extremely reserved if there is more than one woman present.

Once the two left, the long table became much more spacious. Lin Xiaofeng and Saku Norishi sat on one side, while the three women sat together.

As soon as the three were seated, the staff quickly brought the hotel's carefully prepared dishes to the table, and Kuriyama Midori was also thoughtfully served a new dish.

Nagano's specialty is soba noodles, and a plate of handmade cold soba noodles caught everyone's eye.
