Chapter 381: Dig a Bit Whenever You Want

Shimizu Koji originally didn't intend to get involved openly, after all, it was meaningless.

Maori Kogoro's two moves didn't require him to assist or anything, he could make Kisaki Eri angry alone.

Therefore, in addition to preventing some extreme situations from happening, Shimizu Koji also planned to enjoy the beach here, but unexpectedly, he didn't take the initiative to find her, but Conan and Xiaolan took the initiative to find her.

Maori Kogoro left the table, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly relaxed. Kisaki Eri's face was still calm, but she looked much more beautiful.

She wore a sea blue shirt, dark slim jeans, high heels, sat with her legs crossed, and the pair of silver earrings swayed gently, and her beauty was beyond description.

Just in terms of appearance, no one would think that Kisaki Eri was in her thirties, but her temperament was capable and wise, mature and elegant. When ordinary men saw her, not many dared to come up and talk to her.

"Xiaolan."

"Ah?"

Hiki Eri's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Xiaolan calmly and continued, "Don't do this again in the future."

"Ah, I, Mom--"

"You've seen it too. Your father doesn't care about me or you at all, and I've given up on him a long time ago."

"A gambler, alcoholic, and pervert. Your mother has seen too many men who have resorted to law because of love over the years, but none of them are as vicious as your father."

"Well, okay, I shouldn't say this in front of you."

Hiki Eri was talking, and suddenly stopped talking.

But it wasn't that Xiaolan had any bad performance, it was just simple, and Hiiki Eri didn't intend to say anything more.

Heart as dead, just silence and ignore.

Hiiki Eri was determined not to scold Maori Kogoro unless it was necessary.

Although Xiaolan didn't react as violently as crying, she also lowered her head a little bit, and subconsciously, she held Conan's hand tightly.

Conan's face turned red at first, but it was not because of shyness, but because of pain. However, he immediately cast a look of concern and sympathy towards Xiaolan.

What good solution can there be in such a situation? Even if there is a good solution, it is definitely not to match these two impossible people together. Even Conan saw this, so he specially found Shimizu Koji.

But as the old saying goes, those who are involved are confused. Maybe Xiaolan also saw it clearly, but she just didn't want to admit and accept it.

"Alas, my life is such a big failure——." Suddenly, Kisaki Eri couldn't help but sigh again.

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked up in surprise, confused.

And Kisaki Eri was also determined to make Xiaolan completely give up that immature idea, and continued to say to herself: "Sometimes, I wonder, if it weren't for you, Xiaolan, your father and I would start a new life separately, would it be much better than now."

Hearing this, Xiaolan didn't react, and Shimizu Koji's eyes lit up.

Of course, he also knew the purpose of what Kisaki Eri said, but in line with his own personality, he still cast an expectant look at Kisaki Eri directly.

This made Kisaki Eri pause, and her eyes glanced at the handsome young face of Shimizu Koji. She looked a little headache and helpless.

"Just think of it as a joke, don't mind it."

"Uh"

Xiaolan just smiled awkwardly. She actually understood this truth, but when she thought of such a situation, her heart was like a knife, so she never responded to such temptation directly.

And Kisaki Eri turned her head and looked at Shimizu Koji again. Although she was confused, she was still very polite on the surface: "What do you want to eat later, Shimizu-kun? Conan, Xiaolan, what about you?"

"I can do anything"

"Me too."

Shimizu Koji resonated with Conan on this point, or most boys often said casually when asked what to eat.

Xiaolan put aside the distracting thoughts and complicated feelings in her heart, thought about it, and suggested: "Since Shimizu is here, let's go for a seafood barbecue?"

"Well, but if it's lunch, won't it be a little hot--"

While Hibiki Eri was hesitating, suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out, which was very clear and eye-catching in the huge hall.

And this voice was also very recognizable. Even though Hibiki Eri didn't care anymore, she couldn't help but frowned and looked over with the angry Xiaolan.

I saw Maori Kogoro came back at some point, and there were two young and beautiful swimsuit girls around him.

The two girls were on the left and right, both with admiration and sweet smiles, sandwiching Maori Kogoro in the middle.

"Pa", Xiaolan slammed the table and stood up. Before Hibiki Eri could dissuade her, Xiaolan walked over angrily.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Shimizu Koji, and his eyes seemed to ask, do we want to go together?

Shimizu Koji of course shook his head and refused, and watched the show from a distance with interest.

"Conan."

"Huh?"

After Ran left, Kisaki Eri suddenly called Conan's name.

Conan turned back in surprise, only to see Kisaki Eri looking at Ran and Maori Kogoro very calmly, "Don't become that kind of man in the future, you know?"

"Ah ah? Wow, wakada."

Conan felt something was wrong. He agreed, and at the same time, under the hint of Shimizu Koji's eyes, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to leave the seat.

Hiki Eri looked at his small figure leaving, smiled, and stopped talking.

Shimizu Koji witnessed the whole process, looked back at Hiki Eri thoughtfully, and then stretched out his hand.

Hiki Eri looked at Shimizu Koji's sudden action, and before she could react, she was directly grabbed by Shimizu Koji's left hand.

She was shocked immediately. She couldn't figure out what Shimizu Koji was thinking, but she had been caught. In public, Hiki Eri didn't dare to move anymore, mainly because she was afraid that Shimizu Koji would do something rash, so she just gave Shimizu Koji a very stern look.

And Shimizu Koji, in fact, just wanted to take the opportunity to perform again. After all, the atmosphere was here. As a pure and enthusiastic boy, he didn't express his feelings again, wouldn't it be a bit abnormal?

So, facing the cold eyes of Eri Kisaki, Shimizu Koji did not retreat but advanced, his fingers gently stroked the smooth back of Eri Kisaki's hand, he looked at Eri Kisaki with concern, "Aunt Eri, it's no big deal."

"Although you have spent a relatively failed first half of your life, you really shouldn't give up looking for your own new life. Are you willing to go on like this alone, Aunt Eri? Senior Xiaolan will also get married and have her own family. She has grown up. Sooner or later, she will understand you and regret her current choice."

"So, Aunt Eri, do you think a man like me is okay?" Shimizu Koji timidly seemed a little shy, but with considerable confidence and urgent desire, like a little boy who was overwhelmed by love.

And this sudden turn of events, although it can be said to be expected, still made Eri Kisaki completely silent.

Then, it was really helpless and laughed.

Shaking her head, she stopped her speechless heart and gave Shimizu Koji a coquettish look, but Kisaki Eri didn't think she was flirting, "Huh, Koji-kun, maybe you should find a girlfriend, so that you won't keep staring at an old woman like me."

Looking at Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan who were arguing over there, Kisaki Eri was no longer as angry as before, but just smiled faintly and naturally withdrew her hand.

And Shimizu Koji, of course, wouldn't say that he already had a girlfriend this time, people will change, and he slowly understood that sometimes in life, some lies are necessary.
