Chapter 288 Invitation

"I never expected that a man like Yusaku would be in such a situation."

"However, I still think this may be a misunderstanding, Yukiko, don't think so much."

Fei Yingli comforted her softly.

Opposite her, Yukiko didn't look like a person who needed comfort, at least that's what it looked like.

"It's bad, I'm used to it. After all, compared to me, a has-been female star who has been off the screen for more than ten years and no one cares about her, he is still a best-selling novelist with a surging reputation, and he can't even recommend it to parties and banquets every day. Oh, you should also know the political environment in the United States. Those women, even if I were a man, it would be difficult for me to refuse."

Yukiko complained, but she didn't have the resentment that ordinary women would worry about their husbands cheating on her.

She pouted, not looking very angry, and could still take small bites of snacks.

However, after chatting all afternoon, Fei Yingli, who knew Yukiko very well, now knew that Yukiko certainly cared about her, otherwise, she would not have run back to Japan so directly.

She smiled slightly and said nothing more, but she couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart.

Times have changed, more than ten years have passed, and nothing remains unchanged.

She has taken on so many family dispute cases over the years and has seen enough. This is really nothing strange, but it is just a bit emotional.

Fei Yingli's eyes changed, and she glanced at Yukiko's face that pretended not to care, and looked cute even to her. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "Speaking of which, why did you ask Qingshui before? You pretended to be Yusaku, but I really didn’t notice it at that time.”

When Yukiko heard this, she put down the knife and fork in her hand, raised her head suspiciously, and glanced at Fei Yingli's face, "Yingli, don't you want to tease me about this again?"

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet, but it's still hard to believe that the person who was on the sofa at that time was"

"Eri!"

Yukiko's pretty face suddenly turned rosy, her eyes widened fiercely, and she almost hit the table with her movements.

The scale of the private tea party between their two best friends was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary times.

"What does it matter? It's not all a misunderstanding anyway. You've already explained it." Fei Yingli smiled faintly, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip.

"Yes, I've already explained it, why do you still bring it up?"

"I just want to talk to you about Shimizu-kun."

"Him? What happened to him?"

Yukiko blinked her eyes curiously, Fei Yingli and her stared at each other, but did not speak immediately.

"I heard from Xiaolan that he lives in your house now." Fei Yingli's tone became slightly more serious.

"Oh, this, Xiaoxin rented the house to him before. I'm just coming back to stay temporarily for a few days, so I can't drive him away."

Yukiko didn't take it seriously, but she seemed to have guessed what Fei Yingxi said, and her eyes became a little strange. However, she did not ask directly, but continued to add, "Besides, in fact, he and I are not the only ones in that house now. Two people, and one, his... Well, it seems to be a distant cousin."

"Oh?" Fei Yingli's brows suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Ara, Eri, no, you don't really think that I would do something irrational because of something like that!" Yukiko looked a little angry, but it didn't look like it.

"Besides, Koji-kun is just a high school student."

Fei Yingli smiled faintly, without any trace of the seriousness just now, "Yes, it is precisely because he is still a high school student. Yukiko, don't be careless. You should understand boys of this age to some extent, even if he is Qingshui-kun looks very mature and reliable, but there are a lot of crimes of this type.”

"Especially you, Yukiko, I don't have to think too much to guess that you'd better curb your charm and cuteness that have no place at home, and don't tease or tease him."

Fei Yingli spoke eloquently and slowly, and at the end, she rarely winked playfully. It was really a beautiful sight, but it was a pity that no one could appreciate it.

Opposite her, Yukiko, who wanted to refute at first, was so stuck that she couldn't speak.

Fei Yingli didn't say much about what she said before, but after that... well, indeed, she should really pay attention and recall what just happened in the morning.

Although both in appearance and in actual interactions, Koji Shimizu left a very good impression on her, but who can say for sure, as Fei Yingli said just now, boys of this age...

Yukiko's face became a little unnatural, her eyes turned left and right, and finally, her voice changed, "Ahem, I understand, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about you and Maori."

Fei Yingli's face froze when she heard this. She looked at Yukiko's weird big eyes, paused, and couldn't help but sigh, "If there's anything to say, it's already reached this point."

"Yes, we have already reached this point!" Yukiko seemed to be in a good mood again.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I really didn't expect that you guys would end up like this. You have been separated for more than ten years. Yingli, you are really crazy. Even if Xiaolan is here, you are so accommodating and compromising. Look at Maori. What has become of Kogoro?"

"I really didn't recognize it at all. The Maori who already looked like a crazy uncle on the subway that morning was actually the high-spirited police officer back then."

"Okay Yukiko, stop talking!"

Yukiko stuck out her tongue, and Fei Yingli lamented, holding her forehead helplessly, "I actually have nothing to regret. If I have any regrets, maybe I shouldn't have given up the opportunity to study at Harvard."

"Being a childhood sweetheart was a mistake in itself, but I, who made an important decision that affected my life, am not qualified to attribute this fault to others."

Yukiko swallowed in a daze, her eyes gradually becoming a little confused.

"Let's go shopping."

"good."

Five p.m.

"Moxi Moxi?"

"Oh? Shall I pick you up? Okay, no problem. I happen to be nearby. Well, I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Red bean paste~? That's great. We're waiting for you, Haoji-kun~, mu—— beep, beep, beep."

After hanging up the phone, Shimizu Koji had a strange expression on his face, mu——?

He didn't know what Fei Yingli and Yukiko had talked about today, but it was not difficult to guess the mua that Yukiko had abruptly interrupted, and it was more interesting than her previous out-of-touch personality.
