Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 469 Ayako’s skiing invitation

When Fujiwara got home in the evening, the phone on the passenger seat rang as soon as he parked the car.

When he picked it up and saw that it was Sonoko, Fujiwara had a smile on his face. He answered the phone and said:
  "I haven't seen Yuanzi for a long time. Why did you call me suddenly?"

Even without asking, Fujiwara could probably guess that Sonoko wanted to invite him to do something. There was a high probability that Xiaolan and Conan would also go together. Of course, a case was very likely to happen.

"Fujiwara-kun, it's me..."

It was Ayako who answered the phone.

Fujiwara immediately cheered up upon hearing this, thinking that he had something serious to talk about.

"I'm listening, Miss Ayako, please tell me."

Ayako on the other end of the phone shyly pushed away her sister who was approaching her, narrowed her eyes and said to Fujiwara on the phone:

"Um. Are you free tomorrow?"

"You're free, what happened?"

"Yuanzi told me"

Hearing that her sister was using herself to excuse herself, Yuanzi, who regarded herself as a master of love, immediately corrected her, "That's not the case. Sister, you have to take the initiative and invite yourself!"

With her sister's encouragement, Ayako regained some confidence, raised her eyelids and opened her eyes slightly, revealing her light green pupils:
  "Can we go skiing together tomorrow?"

"ski?"

Fujiwara thought for a while after hearing this, but he did not recall that Ayako had appeared in any place with snowy scenes. Maybe he had forgotten it.

"Just the two of us?"

"And Yuanzi's friend Xiaolan."

"Okay, okay, can I drive to pick you up tomorrow?"

"Yes." Ayako nodded repeatedly until Fujiwara hung up the phone before returning the phone to Sonoko.

"Okay, he agreed, I'll go back and take a shower first."

Ayako squinted her eyes and blushed, ready to go back to the house, but she was teased by Sonoko:
  "Hahaha, it's just a phone call. Sister, are you shy?"

"you are annoying."

I happened to bump into Xiaozi who had just cleaned up the kitchen and was about to go back with the food waste.

"Um, Fujiwara, have you eaten already? I didn't leave any food for you today."

Xiaozi's voice was a little nervous, her hand was holding a garbage bag, and her eyes were wandering uneasily.

Fujiwara gently put down his coat and approached Xiaozi, "Well, after eating, are you going out today?"

Xiaozi's mood became a little confused when she heard Fujiwara's question. She answered hesitantly:
  "Well, this afternoon I took Mary out to play in Cupido Park for a while."

Hearing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Fujiwara's face. He hung his coat on the hanger, loosened the cuffs of his shirt, and then looked at Xiaozi, "Going out to play? Is Mary going out on her own?"

Because it involves organization-related matters, Mary's original idea was to try to avoid taking Mary to crowded places. Fujiwara also expressed respect for this, but from a normal person's perspective, staying at home for a long time is not a good thing. Fujiwara In fact, he really hoped that someone would spend more time with Mary when he was away, so that her tense nerves could be relieved.

"I didn't take her out on my own initiative."

Xiaozi's voice was slightly trembling, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was uneasy because of her behavior.

"Haha, what's that expression of yours? I'm not blaming you, and it's not a bad thing. It's pretty good."

Fujiwara's smile gradually appeared, and his eyes were full of understanding and tolerance, soothing Xiaozi's uneasiness.

"Well, I think it's better for children to go out and play more. Fujiwara, please take Mary out for a walk more often when you have nothing to do." There was a hint of tenderness in Xiaozi's voice, and her eyes revealed expectations. She hoped that Fujiwara could do more. Stay with Mary so she doesn't feel too lonely.

"As you command, Miss Zi."

"I'm leaving."

Xiaozi was about to go out with a garbage bag. Fujiwara nodded at the beginning, but then he thought that Mihua was unusual recently. There was a criminal who often attacked women who came home late on the street, so Fujiwara walked out with his coat in his back and leather shoes.

"Wait a minute, let me take Xiaozi back."

"No need, I'll just go back by myself. Besides, it's so late, so you should go to bed early."

"Just treat it as if it's nothing but Xiaoxiaoshi, and we've known you for so long, and I still don't know where you live?"

Xiaozi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and accepted Fujiwara's proposal. She felt a surge of warmth and reassurance, as Fujiwara's concern made her feel safer.

Xiaozi nodded slightly, her expression showing gratitude and relief, and she accepted Fujiwara's proposal.

So, Fujiwara accompanied Xiaozi out of the house. The streets at night seemed quiet and peaceful, and the moonlight shone on the two of them, casting faint shadows.

Fujiwara kept a moderate distance and was always alert to ensure Azusa's safety.

The rice flower wolf has been solved by Tachibana Maya, so Fujiwara doesn’t know that the culprit this time is. Although almost nothing will happen to the people around the protagonist group, you have to be careful in everything, just like the last time I met Miya. Noshiho was almost hit by a car.

In short, just try to be as careful as you can.

The two walked out of the house together, and the lights on the street cast mottled light and shadow. Fujiwara walked beside Xiaozi, staying alert and paying attention to the surrounding situation.

They walked quietly through the quiet streets, and Azusa's nervousness gradually eased. Because Fujiwara was by her side, she felt an inexplicable sense of security and warmth.

The two walked along the streets at night. Fujiwara kept communicating with Xiaozi, making the atmosphere relaxed and happy, and Xiaozi's tension gradually dissipated.

"Is Xiaozi living in a room with someone else?"

"Well, we rented together with a friend from the newspaper company."

"How's the rent?" Fujiwara asked with concern
  "Not bad, not expensive."

"Actually, judging from your current salary level, you can definitely rent it by yourself."

"I'm used to it," Xiaozi said with a smile, "and my roommate has a good personality. I quite like her."

Thanks to Fujiwara's high enough salary, Xiaozi started saving money with confidence.

Fujiwara accompanied Xiaozi to her residence to ensure that she returned home safely. He bid her a gentle farewell and turned to go home.

"Thank you for coming home with me, Fujiwara."

Xiaozi smiled and expressed her gratitude to Fujiwara. When she was thinking about whether to invite him up for a cup of tea, she suddenly remembered that she had made a clear agreement when they rented together that if they wanted to bring someone of the opposite sex back, both parties must inform each other in advance, and they couldn't just do it casually. Just bring the boys back.

So she narrowed her lips that were about to open and had to say good night.

"By the way, let's have dinner early in the future."

If she kept doing it so late, Fujiwara wouldn't be able to go home with her every day.

"Okay." Xiaozi nodded in agreement, "Sorry to trouble you."

"Good night, sweet dreams."

Fujiwara responded with a smile, then turned and left, leaving Xiaozi to return to his home peacefully.

"You too"
