In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

At this moment, the only outsider in the ward, Midori Kuriyama, finally broke through her barely perceptible presence. She looked at Natsume, who had just demonstrated superb medical skills, and asked earnestly, "Mr. Natsume, is there anything my teacher can't eat right now?"

"Hmm~"

Xia Ye pondered for a moment, then instructed:

"She can eat most foods, as long as they're not too hard, like noodles and porridge. For fruit, bananas are best, and kiwis are also good."

"I understand~"

Kuriyama Midori stood up and said to Kisaki Eri:

"Teacher, I'm off. You should get some rest."

"Thank you for your hard work, Green~"

Eri Kisaki was very satisfied with her student. Not only was she humble and eager to learn, but she also respected her greatly. Perhaps she would have to rely on this student to carry on her legacy in the future.

"Teacher, you're too kind..."

Kuriyama Midori bid farewell to everyone and left the ward.

Now only "our own people" were left in the ward.

Chapter 157 The Domineering Younger Man

"Summer Leaves~"

Xiao Lan's beautiful eyes showed some worry.

"are you tired?"

I was so focused on my mother that I forgot that Xia Ye's Crane Needle technique is also very physically demanding.

He treated himself at the last karate tournament, and in the end he was so exhausted he could barely stand up.

Several people in the ward looked over.

He was surrounded by concerned eyes.

Xia Ye smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"Don't worry, I'm not tired~"

"Last time I treated you, I used the Nine-Nine Return to One Marrow Cleansing Needle, which is the most advanced of all acupuncture techniques, hence the high consumption. This time, for Attorney Fei's treatment, although I also used the Nine-Nine Return to One acupuncture technique, it's a very simple detoxifying needle, so it doesn't consume as much energy."

"Ok!"

Xiao Lan was relieved and was about to say a few words to Xia Ye when she was interrupted by a serious-sounding "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

Natsume glanced at Yukiko speechlessly.

Although she had a tense and serious expression, as if she was about to say something important, Xia Ye knew her too well. She was definitely just trying to be mischievous and play a prank. If it were something serious, she would have said it already!

"Ahem, something just doesn't feel right to me. Isn't your way of addressing Eri a bit too formal? 'Attorney Ki' and all that? You're not Eri's client! It's not appropriate!"

Yukiko's beautiful eyes gleamed with mischief as she chuckled and suggested, "Why don't you change how you address me?"

02 Oh dear!

Eri Kisaki, lying on her hospital bed, sighed deeply. Just as she expected, this damn guy was up to something!

Why is it so hard to just let her have some peace and quiet?

Natsume, of course, knew that Yukiko was just messing around.

However, unlike Eri Kisaki, who was being pranked, he was quite happy to see this kind of thing happen.

After all, he felt that calling Eri Kisaki "Attorney Kisaki" was too formal, but he didn't think their relationship was close enough to use a more intimate term. If Kiko could handle things by cracking jokes and making light of things, that would be great too.

Looking into Yukiko's beautiful eyes, Natsume smiled slightly: "Then what do you think I should call Attorney Kiyoshi?"

Yukiko stroked her smooth chin with her slender fingers, looking at Ran with a grin: "If we're going by Ran's relationship, you should call Eri 'Auntie Eri'~"

Eri Kisaki gritted her teeth.

A hint of displeasure flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She doesn't understand it herself.

Is she upset because "Auntie" makes her feel old, or is she upset because Natsume, who calls Yukiko by her full name, calls her "Auntie"?

In short, she just didn't want to hear the word "auntie" from Xia Ye's mouth!

but--

Xia Ye wouldn't agree, would he?

After all, he called me that before!

"I can't call out!"

Looking at Eri's youthful and beautiful face, Natsume realized she couldn't do it:

"I don't know what magic pills Attorney Fei has been taking lately, but her appearance, figure, and temperament have suddenly become many years younger. Not to mention you, Yukiko, even when she walks with Ran, they look like sisters. I just can't bring myself to call her 'Auntie'!"

it is good!

Yukiko winked at Natsume, giving him an approving look that said, "You're right."

Look at Eri, the smile is almost making her crow's feet, and she's trying so hard to hold back her laughter, as if afraid she'll burst out laughing. It seems no woman can resist such sweet talk!

Hospital bed.

Eri Kisaki was indeed trying hard to hide her smile, afraid that she might accidentally let it show on her face, which would make her seem too immodest!

but--

He had exchanged so many log reward opportunities for restoring his youth, all for this day. Seeing the surprise on Xia Ye's face and the amazement in her eyes was like drinking a glass of ice-cold soda when he was thirsty on a hot day. It was refreshing from head to toe. This feeling was so pleasant!

Ran and Ai sat together.

"Aren't you going to offer your opinion?"

Ai poked Ran's waist and whispered.

"what did I say?"

From the moment the three people started discussing how Xia Ye should address her mother, Xiao Lan took out her phone and started playing, resolutely refusing to participate in their conversation. She simply chose to ignore it, since she didn't know what to do about this kind of thing!

"That's right~"

Ai glanced at her mother, who was floating around the hospital room and even curiously walking through the walls to go upstairs, and sighed with empathy. She didn't even know what to do with her own child, so she didn't have time to worry about Ran. She should just let things take their course!

the other side.

Yukiko said with some distress:

"You don't want to call her Aunt Eri, but calling her by her name doesn't seem quite right either. What should we call her—"

You know it's not good to call someone by their name directly, right?

Eri thought to herself.

I heard from Xiaolan that you made Xia Ye call you by your name on the very first day you met her, you little slut!

but--

I'd like to see!

What kind of tricks are you going to pull!

Eri Kisaki wasn't unwilling at all; she was in a good mood. As long as it wasn't about making Natsume call her "wife," she was fine with anything!

"How about I call her Yingli-nee?"

To Eri's surprise, this form of address seemed too normal, not at all like Yukiko's style. Based on her understanding of Yukiko, she should have come up with at least two more strange and unusual forms of address before it became so normal.

"Eri-nee~"

Xia Ye murmured a sentence and smiled:

"I feel good about it, what do you think, Eri-nee?"

"..."

Eri rolled her eyes at Natsume speechlessly. "You've already said it, why are you asking for my opinion? Just say it!"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the title. In the workplace, it's not strange for people who are slightly closer to each other to call each other "brother" or "sister." It's quite normal!

"Won't the generational order get confused?"

Xiao Ai suddenly spoke up and complained.

"It's ok!"

Yukiko waved her hand with a smile in her eyes:

"We can each pay our own; I know this well!"

Xiaolan put away her phone, thinking to herself: Of course you know me! You forced me and Yuanzi, who were only a few years old at the time, to call you "sister." It was like bullying children. Luckily, your face doesn't age, so the title of "sister" is still fitting. Otherwise, who could say that?

"Then it's settled!"

Yukiko gave Natsume a meaningful look, then sat down next to Eri, took her hand, and said with a smile:

"Xia Ye, come and call me!"

"Eri-nee!"

Xia Ye readily agreed. Yukiko had already played her role as an accomplice and wingman to the fullest. She couldn't let her down, so she tried her best to win over her best friend as soon as possible and fulfill her wish!

"Um......"

Eri's pretty face flushed slightly, but she pretended to be calm.

Only she knew that when she heard Xia Ye call her "Sister Yingli," her heart trembled. For some reason, she felt that her relationship with Xia Ye had become much closer, and she looked at him as if he were her younger brother!

Eri Kisaki simulated it in her mind.

Even if Xia Ye called him by his name directly, it shouldn't have been as stimulating as calling him "Eri-nee". What's going on?

Looking at her best friend's bewildered expression.

Yukiko chuckled to herself.

Just as Eri understands him very well, he also knows Eri very well. Don't be fooled by her being the "Queen of the Legal World," seemingly aloof and serious with a calm and wise personality. Inside, however, resides a gentle, tolerant soul with a strong girlish heart.

Such a soul.

Of course, you should use a younger, domineering, and charismatic man to win him over.

This "Eri-nee" was a great start. From then on, whenever Eri heard Natsume call her "Eri-nee", she would subconsciously think that he was her younger brother and needed 603's care and attention. However, Natsume was also a man with super strength who could protect her and give her a sense of security. This contrast was absolutely irresistible to her!

After the form of address is decided.

We only chatted for a short while.

Eri almost lost her way amidst Natsume's repeated calls of "Eri-nee". With that young and handsome face, calling out "Eri-nee" in a gentle and sunny tone, who wouldn't be confused?

hateful!

I've been tricked by Yukiko again!

Unfortunately it's too late!

Eri Kisaki helplessly discovered that she had almost gotten used to this title, and even started to like it a little. In short, hearing Natsume call her that inexplicably made her feel good. She was hopeless!

"Teacher, I'm back!"

Fortunately, Midori Kuriyama, who had gone out to buy things, walked in through the door carrying the groceries she had brought back.

Xia Ye quickly went up and took the things from her hands, only to find that there were only fruits and a few bottles of drinks and purified water.

"I went to the cafeteria and asked. They said there are menus in the drawers of the VIP wards, so you can order by phone and they'll prepare it and bring it up to you."

Seeing that Natsume looked puzzled, Midori Kuriyama explained.

"Okay, you guys can decide what you want to eat later and order whatever you like. It's almost lunchtime!"

Xia Ye said to the others.

"Good~"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then gathered together to study the menu they had found in the bedside drawer, preparing to try the hospital cafeteria's cooking.
