"Daddy, I'm back!"
When Lan passed by the detective agency on the second floor, she shouted at the door and continued to walk upstairs with White Feather.
At this moment, in the detective agency, Maori Kogoro, who was sleeping soundly on the table, opened his eyes slightly.
He moved his stiff arm and touched the empty cans that almost filled the table.
The cans near the edge of the table fell to the ground one after another, making tinkling sounds.
"Hmm?"
Mao Li looked around in a daze, his gaze fixed on the television, and he let out a sorrowful cry,""Ah! My Yoko!"
Xiao Lan, who was on the third floor and had just taken out her key to open the door, heard the commotion on the second floor and sighed helplessly."I'm sorry, my father is like that.”
"I'm fine." Bai Yu said.
Xiao Lan pushed the door open and said,""Please come in. The house is a little shabby, please don't mind.”
Because Mao Li had almost no income recently, if not for Fei Yingli occasionally giving her some money secretly, the family might not be able to support themselves.
Bai Yu walked in and looked at the living room. The furniture in his line of sight was a little old. There was not even a television. Clearly, the family's financial situation was not very good.
However, the cleanliness was very clean. All the items and furniture were placed in a very reasonable manner, making people feel very comfortable.
"A great home." Bai Yu praised.
"Thank you."
Lan smiled and took out a pair of blue slippers from the shoe cabinet. She opened the package and placed it in front of Bai Yu.
"Because it's the first time we have a guest at home, we didn't prepare special shoes for guests.”
"Xiaolan, are you like this at home too?”
Bai Yu sounded helpless. He walked into the living room, put his bag aside, and sat on the cushion beside the small wooden table.
"Eh?"
Lan was slightly surprised, not knowing what Bai Yu was talking about.
"The way you speak."
"No, it's just…"
"Then we'll talk like we do at home," Bai Yu interrupted.”
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Lan nodded with a smile and asked,""Do you want some tea?"
His tone was completely different from before. It was much more relaxed and casual.
"No thanks."
White Feather took out two fruit candies from his pocket. He handed one to Lan and unwrapped the other before throwing it into his mouth.
"Candy?"
Xiao Lan looked at the packaging. There were only a few complicated foreign words, but she knew that these were Chinese characters.
"My blood sugar is slightly low." Bai Yu said.
"I see."
Xiao Lan opened the package and ate the candy.
The taste was not bad. It was grape-flavored fruit candy.
Xiaolan, what are we eating tonight?"
Mao Li's voice suddenly came from outside the entrance to the living room.
"Stewed vegetables." Lan replied.
Following the sound of the door opening, Mao Li said dejectedly,"Sigh, is it stew again?"
"There's no other way. After paying back the money we borrowed last month, there's not much left this month. Dad, if you don't save on expenses, our family will have to borrow money again next month.”Xiao Lan said unhappily.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Mao Li replied. After entering the living room, he looked at Bai Yu who was sitting at the table and asked in surprise," Xiaolan, who is he?"
After all, Xiaolan had never even brought that detective kid home.
Mao Li couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Lan had found a boyfriend.
"Dad, let me introduce you. His name is Bai Yu, and he's my classmate. If he hadn't saved me at the intersection this time, I would have been in the hospital now.”Xiao Lan said.
Hearing this, Mao Li said nervously,""Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Xiao Lan said with a smile.
"Hu ~"
Mao Li instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Bai Yu, who stood up, and said,""Thank you so much. I, Maori Kogoro, will definitely repay you for your kindness.”
"No need."
"No, how about this? You stay for dinner tonight and we'll drink a few bottles.”
Mao Li's tone was firm.
However, other than thanking him, it was obvious that he wanted to drink.
Xiao Lan had just said that she wanted to save money. Naturally, she wanted to cut down on money from betting on horses and buying wine.
It was a very understandable thought.
However, Xiao Lan would not give him the chance.""Dad, what are you talking about? Bai Yu isn't an adult yet.”
Although Japanese boys could get married at the age of 18, they were considered adults at the age of 20. White Feather, who was only 17, was naturally considered underage.
"But, but Xiaolan…"
"No!"
Xiao Lan said in a tone that allowed no rejection. At the same time, she clenched her right fist as a warning.
"Yes ~"
Mao Li was instantly terrified. Those who were familiar with Xiao Lan knew how terrifying her karate was.
Among the things that Mao Li regretted doing the most…One of them was to let Xiaolan learn karate and become a human-shaped tyrannosaurus.
" Don't worry, Xiaolan," Bai Yu said." I didn't bring any gifts this time. Give me two boxes of beer."”
Actually, no one would choose to give this to their first meeting, but it was not a problem for Mao Li.
One could tell from Mao Li's glowing eyes.
Bai Yu, are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Let's go, let's go!"
Ignoring Xiao Lan's attempts to stop him, Mao Li dragged Bai Yu towards the entrance with a happy smile on his face.
Although this boy named Bai Yu looked a little cold, he was much better than that stinky detective!
