Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 544 Beef Skewers and Mutton Skewers

It was approaching noon, and the sun was directly in the sky. Fujiwara checked the burning condition of the charcoal and then looked around for Mary nearby. Finally, he stepped on the lake water under a hill not far from them and was in a daze.

So Fujiwara took out the fishing pole and bait box from the trunk of the car and quietly walked around behind Mary, getting closer to her little by little.

At this time, Mary also realized that something was approaching, so she inadvertently turned around and found Fujiwara Hoshiumi who was about to scare her.

"What do you want to do?" Mary said amusedly, "Are you trying to scare me?"

Fujiwara Hoshikai didn't feel too embarrassed when he was discovered, so he sat next to him with a smile on his face and handed her the bait bag in his hand.

"You pick a few for me, and I'll replace this pole with new fishing lines."

"Ah."

Mary gladly accepted the bag handed over by Fujiwara, and immediately placed it on the soil beside her legs, pinched two pieces of beige fake fry, put them in her hands, and selected one of them to insert into the fishhook and fished it. After Fujiwara finished changing the thread, he handed it over to him and said, "I wish you good luck."

Fujiwara stood up and swung out the fishing line in one go. The golden fake fry cut through the air and fell into the lake. The slight splash shone silver in the sun. He adjusted the tightness of the line and then sat down with satisfaction. Mary also put the fry bag in place. Their eyes followed the rise and fall of the buoy, and they felt more relaxed and comfortable.

By the lake, the breeze is constantly blowing, bringing cool comfort. The ripples on the lake are gently pushed by the wind, forming gentle ripples in circles.

Hearing Fujiwara adjust his sitting posture and lean forward slightly, as if to better capture Mary's response, his eyes lightly swept across the lake, and finally settled on Mary's face.

"By the way, Mary, have you been to the Cat's Eye Cafe recently?"

He was really curious as to why Mary went there.

Mary raised her head slightly and looked directly at the lake. The breeze blew her hair. She nodded gently, followed by a concise and direct answer, "Well, I took Xiao Ai there twice after school last week. ..." Her tone was calm, making it almost impossible to detect any floating emotions.

Fujiwara's expression was slightly startled, and he touched his nose, a small inadvertent movement that showed his hesitation and thinking. His fingers tapped the handle of the fishing rod lightly, "So what did you all talk about?" His voice became deeper, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness. Mary noticed this naturally and said casually: "Nothing to talk about, just some trivial things."

Fujiwara frowned slightly and smiled a little disappointedly, stretched out his hand to retract his fishing line, and said: "How thin is it?"

"Ah?" Mary was a little surprised that Fujiwara ended the call so early. "What's wrong? I feel like something's not right with you."

Fujiwara checked the fishhook and found that the fake fry had been bitten. He laughed and cursed, "It's really treacherous."

"Did something happen between you two?"

After hearing this, Fujiwara laughed at himself and denied, "It's nothing, I just asked casually. I just feel that Mary and the three of them don't seem to be able to talk to each other at all. Don't think too much. I'm just curious about this." Even though Fujiwara said Although she looked very calm, Mary still noticed that Fujiwara was not speaking the same mind. Just like a woman's intuition, she felt that there seemed to be some conflicts or barriers between Fujiwara and them that she was not aware of.

In fact, even if there is a real conflict, it has nothing to do with Mary. After all, she is not a nosy person. She believes that Fujiwara can sort out her private affairs. But after living together for so long, it is inevitable that curiosity will arise. And because of her amnesia, Mary's own affairs are basically Fujiwara told her everything, so in return, Mary was willing to know more about him.
  "call!"

Fujiwara hung up the fake fry again and swung another shot. This time it was further than the last one, more than 20 meters.

Mary glanced at Fujiwara, her eyes filled with doubts and a hint of worry, so she quietly retracted her calves soaked in the water, held up the small stool, and leaned towards Fujiwara.

"Uh-huh?"

Fujiwara glanced at Mary approaching him out of the corner of his eye. He was a little surprised, but also a little pleasantly surprised.

It turns out that when I have emotional ups and downs, someone will care about me.
  With the slightest touch of emotion, Fujiwara reached out his hand to Mary's hair, but suddenly thought of getting water on his hands, so he stopped there.

Seeing that Fujiwara couldn't speak for a long time, Mary had no choice but to tell her about the previous conversation between her and the next life.

"Actually, I chatted a little bit about your current situation with Miss Tear. She seemed to be very concerned about your affairs and asked me a lot about your competition."

“Oh, so that’s it”

So she would rather ask Mary than ask him.
  In fact, the logic of the whole thing is very clear. When they planned to attack the Mihua Art Museum, Xiao Ai came over and disrupted their plan. Moreover, their identities were exposed to them in disguise, but Fujiwara had actually suspected them for a long time. , so it’s not surprising. Moreover, he didn't care much about the notice letter. Even though he was a little surprised that they would really attack him without caring about their feelings, Fujiwara's original intention was to fulfill them, so he gave away the 50 million-dollar painting he said. Not distressed.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Ai would stand unswervingly on his side at such an important moment, which made him very happy, but he didn't want to completely fall out and never mentioned this matter directly.

But no matter how much he likes her, he still needs to regain his face, and he can't always be the one making the opening remarks. Moreover, Fujiwara's position has actually been revealed very early on that he is not the so-called messenger of justice. He is willing to make concessions for justice for the sake of carelessness in his heart. Moreover, based on his relationship with Kaito, the two parties may be able to share intelligence with each other and complicate things.
  Seeing that Fujiwara didn't speak for a long time, Mary, who was a little anxious, was just about to urge her when she heard Mingmei shouting from behind: "Can you take out the marinated beef and mutton?"

"Okay, and the oven should be almost done. I'll be there right away." Fujiwara said and was about to take back the fishing rod, but thinking that it would distract Mary from her boredom, he gave the fishing rod to her and comforted her, "I can't catch anything." does not matter"

After Fujiwara fired the charcoal again, he took Akemi's skewers and put them on the oven to bake. He picked up a pinch of cumin and sprinkled it on, and shouted to himself:
  “Mutton skewers, beef skewers, very delicious”

Mingmei, who was not far away from him, heard this and smiled in confusion, "What are Fujiwara-kun talking about?"

Next to her, Xiao Ai, who knew a little bit of Chinese, whispered back:

"He was boasting that his baked goods would be particularly delicious."
