"no!"
Ayumi's little face lit up with an innocent smile:
"I want to surprise my mom! She was saying to me yesterday, 'Why hasn't Xia Ye come to my house yet!'"
"Oh~"
Xia Ye drawled out her words, laughing as she spoke:
"Oh, I see. That's why I'm here. By the way, Ayumi, you didn't have to go to school today, so what did you do at home?"
"Brother Xia Ye, please have a seat!"
Ayumi pulled Natsume to sit on the sofa, then ran towards the refrigerator on her little legs.
She opened the refrigerator, tiptoed to take out a cup of coffee and a glass of juice, then jogged back to place the iced coffee in Xia Ye's hand before sitting down beside him and answering his questions in a soft voice:
"This morning I helped my mom with the laundry, then did my homework. After lunch, my mom let me watch Kamen Rider, so I chatted with my brother Xia Ye while watching TV. Later, Xia Ye said he was coming over, so I've been waiting for him!"
"Not bad!"
Xia Ye smiled, patted her head, and praised her:
"Ayumi is such a sensible child!"
"Hehe~"
Ayumi squinted her eyes and nuzzled her little head against Xia Ye's hand, like a well-behaved kitten.
"I will be obedient from now on!"
"So good~"
Xia Ye's eyes showed satisfaction:
"Since Ayumi is such a good girl, I can grant you one wish. You can tell me what you want!"
"real!"
Ayumi opened her clear, big eyes wide, cupped her two small hands to her heart, and looked on expectantly:
"I want to go to the amusement park!"
"So simple?"
Xia Ye thought the little girl would have bigger wishes, but it turned out she just wanted to go to the amusement park.
"No problem, I'll take you to the amusement park next time your school is out for break!"
"but--"
"Your mother's consent is needed for this!"
"Humph!"
Ayumi pouted and said angrily:
"Mom will definitely agree!"
"If she won't take me to the amusement park, does that mean I can't go with Brother Xia Ye? I haven't been to an amusement park in ages!"
Xia Ye seemed to be deep in thought.
Given Ayumi's family situation, it's definitely not because of financial reasons that they don't take Ayumi to the amusement park.
That's naturally due to family reasons.
Either Mom is too busy, or Dad is too busy.
However, judging from Ayumi's statement that she hasn't been to an amusement park in a long time, it's more likely that both of them are busy. After all, if only one person is busy, there's no way they could not find a moment to take their daughter to an amusement park!
No wonder Ayumi often goes out with Mitsuhiko and Genta, and travels all over Japan with Professor Agasa, without having to go home at night. It's because her parents don't have time to take care of her.
"Okay!"
Xia Ye patted her head again, her eyes smiling, and said:
"Your mom is so busy with work, she definitely didn't mean to not take you out to play, don't blame her~"
"Know it!"
"Brother Xia Ye~"
Ayumi obediently nodded.
In fact, she is already very sensible. She is brave and kind-hearted in the Junior Detective Team, and she is also a well-behaved daughter at home. Even though her mother is busy with work, she has no complaints and is very obedient.

"Good~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly, then looked around:
"What about your dad?"
"How come I've never seen him before?"
"My dad—"
Ayumi frowned slightly:
"He owns a fishing shop and often doesn't come home all night. My mother had a fight with him just two days ago!"
"Did they have a fight?"
Xia Ye was a little surprised. Seeing Bu Mei's sensible and cute personality, she originally thought that her family environment was quite harmonious, but she did not expect that her parents would quarrel!
"Yes~"
Ayumi's face showed a helplessness that was beyond her years:
"But I'm used to it by now~"
"They don't even live in the same room anymore!"
"Oh?"
Xia Ye was quite surprised:
"They've separated?"
"Yes!"
Ayumi nodded.
The innocent girl didn't understand what this meant for the time being, but she did understand a simple truth: it's not good for her parents to argue!
"Why don't you watch Kamen Rider first?"
Xia Ye picked up his iced coffee and took a sip. He had a pretty good understanding of Ayumi's family situation.
Speaking of which, Ayumi's mother is only thirty years old, the most charming age for a woman, and she is also very beautiful. It seems that a normal man would not do something like this to be distant from his wife!
but--
Considering what Ayumi said earlier about her father running a fishing tackle shop, this makes sense!
He's a fisherman!
This is normal.
....... .. 0
after all--
When a fisherman gets fishing, he doesn't care about anyone else!
at the same time.
Ayumi's bathroom.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end residential bathroom.
The space here is spacious, with a separate wet and dry area, and elegant decor. There's even a large, pure white bathtub in the bathroom. Although it can't compare to Xia Ye's villa, it's still slightly better than Fei Yingli's apartment!
"Ayumi, really!"
"Why do you tell everyone everything?"
Ayumi's mother, Mrs. Yoshida, pressed her ear against the bathroom door, listening intently to the sounds coming from the living room outside.
As for why she was eavesdropping here—
You can tell just by looking at her.
She was wrapped in a bath towel that reached her chest and hips, her originally dazzlingly white skin tinged with a faint pink, making her incredibly alluring under the steam.
Her slightly damp hair cascaded over her shoulders.
You could tell at a glance that she had just come out of the bath.
Mrs. Yoshida was also speechless. She had no idea that Natsume was coming to the house. In the morning, she washed clothes, tidied up the house for a long time, and then made lunch. After eating, she felt a little sweaty, so she decided to take a shower.
Ayumi was watching TV at that time.
So I didn't tell her.
Who knew she would call Xia Ye over!
Now I can't even leave the house. After all, I'm fine at home looking like this, but if a handsome young man like Xia Ye sees me, who knows what might happen!
As for what it is—
Mrs. Yoshida's cheeks suddenly flushed.
Xia Ye seemed to be subtly trying to find out information about Ayumi's father. What is she trying to do?
She even knew that he and Ayumi's father were separated!
Could it be——
Pooh!
What am I thinking about?
the other side.
Xia Ye glanced towards the bathroom, a smile playing on her lips:
"Ayumi, I need to go to the restroom!"
"what?"
Ayumi, who was engrossed in watching Kamen Rider, turned her head away reluctantly.
"I'll take Brother Xia Ye with me!"
"Need not!"
Xia Ye waved her hand and said with a smile:
"I can go by myself!"
"Good~"
Just as the Kamen Rider show on TV was getting exciting, and the Kamen Rider was about to unleash his signature move, the "Superman Lightning Kick," Ayumi, upon hearing that there was no need to lead the way, instantly turned around, her entire attention now focused on the television.
Xia Ye smiled and shook her head.
He got up and went to the bathroom.
Reaching the door, he flicked the handle lightly, and the bathroom door, which had been locked from the inside, was pushed open, accompanied by a short, startled exclamation.
"Brother Xia Ye?"
Ayumi seemed to have heard the commotion.
"fine!"
"Keep watching!"
Xia Ye gave a brief instruction, then casually closed the bathroom door and locked it.
Only then did he look at the lady in front of him.
Startled, her bath towel fell to the ground. Even with her arms covering herself, her beautiful curves were still fully revealed. This captivating sight was reflected in Xia Ye's dark eyes, seemingly brightening his pupils.
