"Dad! What are you doing?" Maori Ran never thought that her father would eat the food ordered by others. She frowned and was about to blame him, but Maori Kogoro, who had just pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, interrupted her directly.

"Oh, that handsome guy from before won't be coming back. He said he had to go pick someone up." Maori Kogoro picked up a skewer of salt-grilled chicken and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he explained, "It's a waste to leave the food there. You might as well let me eat it. Hahaha!"

The waitress sneered and picked up a rag to wipe the table. She had no reason to stop him. After all, the customer had paid the bill and did say he could do with the food before leaving. She said "Enjoy your meal" and went to serve the new guest.

Ran Mao Li stared with her half-moon eyes, feeling speechless. She could only hold her chin and sigh. It seemed that she had to ask Shinichi for help tonight. She couldn't help her drunk father go home by herself.

She picked up her old flip phone, found the third number in the address book and quickly dialed it. Shinichi should not have had dinner at this time, and there were some ingredients at home to make curry rice, which could be used to thank him for helping her.

"Hello? Is this Shinichi?"

"Oh, Xiaolan, what can I do for you?"

"The sound of you...are you curled up on the sofa reading a mystery novel again?"

Kudo Shinichi, who was curled up on the sofa reading a mystery novel, widened his eyes. He looked around and replied in a low voice:

"Xiaolan, you didn't install a surveillance camera in my house, did you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hasn't this been your hobby since you were a child?" Mao Lilan sighed helplessly. When she heard the snickering sound from the other end of the phone, she knew that Shinichi was joking with her. She said helplessly: "Can you come and help me now? My dad is drunk again, and I can't drag him away by myself."

"Hey? Uncle is drunk again... Seriously, then send me the address on your phone, I'll change my clothes and come over."

"Okay~ I'll make you my specialty curry rice later!"
