"I'm Tang Ze Xianyi. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your guidance."
Just as Sonoko turned the topic to her sister and Tang Ze, the two came forward and introduced themselves.
This is also normal social etiquette. Since the other party is here to play together, it means that the relationship is good, so naturally an introduction is needed.
Tang Ze did not expect that he would meet the "undefeated queen of the legal world" under such circumstances. At the same time, combined with the previous situation, he also roughly recalled this case.
Xiaolan wanted to reconcile her parents, so she inquired about her mother's whereabouts and organized this trip.
But in Tang Ze's memory, Sonoko never appeared, let alone Ayako.
If this is true, it seems that Yuanzi is the main driver of this change.
Tang Ze glanced at Yuanzi and felt more and more that his speculation was correct, but he didn't know the purpose... cough, some uncertain guesses...
"Nice to meet you. I'm Eri Kisaki. Thank you for taking care of my little Ran."
Just as Tang Ze was lost in thought, Kisaki Eri bowed slightly in return. After a round of "social talk" between the three of them, they finally managed to dilute the awkward atmosphere between Kisaki Eri and Mouri Kogoro.
After everyone talked for a while, Sonoko, who just felt like she had met Kisaki Eri by chance, was completely unaware of the cold war between the Mori couple, and enthusiastically suggested playing watermelon tasting.
Conan, Tang Ze and even Xiaolan on the side tacitly did not remind each other about this.
After all, with her carefree personality, Sonoko is the best person to break the stalemate without knowing the situation.
Ayako, who was standing by, noticed something. Tang Ze came over to her and explained a few words quietly. She looked around, then looked at the excited Sonoko and smiled slightly, "I understand."
"Why are you still standing there~" Yuanzi put the watermelon not far away, then ran back, "Come and play with the watermelon."
"Oh, here we come~" Tang Ze responded, and the three of them walked towards the beach.
So, Sonoko and Ayako divided Karasawa and Conan into groups to play watermelon-hitting, while Xiaolan and Kisaki Eri stood aside watching the game and talking.
As for Kogoro Mouri, he was lying on a beach chair, admiring the beauties around him gloomily, but he soon recovered with a lewd expression on his face.
"Left! Left! In front!"
"Left! Right! Cut!"
As Sonoko spoke hurriedly, Conan, holding a wooden sword, slashed forward.
The wooden sword hit the sand, splashing countless sand particles and spraying Conan's mouth.
“Pah, pah, pah!!”
Conan took off his eye patch and looked at Xigua, who had his back to him and pointed at Xigua with dead eyes, saying speechlessly: "Sister Sonoko, your command is a bit far from good."
"Tsk, it's obviously you, little brat, who doesn't listen to my orders!" Sonoko clicked his tongue and said dissatisfiedly.
"Then it's our group's turn." Tang Ze put on his eye patch, turned around on the spot, then stood there holding a wooden sword, ready to wait for instructions.
"Front!"
"Stop! Move sideways to the left, then go straight!"
"It's crooked, turn right, we're almost there!!"
"Here we are, please chop it!"
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, Tang Ze took off his eye patch, and what he saw in front of him was a watermelon that had been broken by a wooden sword.
Then the watermelon was brought to the table, Tang Ze was responsible for cutting it, and Ayako distributed the cut watermelon to everyone.
"Oh, what a tacit understanding." After the watermelon was harvested in the garden, he looked at the two people's division of labor and smiled nervously.
"Eat it quickly." Tang Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Eating melons won't stop you from talking."
"I'm talking about the coordination between you two." Sonoko took a bite of the watermelon and placed her free left hand on Conan's head. "It's much better than the coordination between the two of us, isn't it, Conan?"
"Well, you have such a good understanding! You are a perfect match!" Conan nodded and said this.
But even though he pretended to be like this, the muscles at the corners of his mouth were tense, trying hard to prevent a smile from appearing.
At this point, even Conan could see what Sonoko wanted to do. He didn't know whether she wanted to see Tang Ze's embarrassment or really had high hopes for the two of them, so she used her identity as a child to start assisting them blatantly.
"Sonoko! And Conan-kun too..." Hearing Conan's "innocent childish words", Ayako's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but surprisingly she did not refute.
"Don't use random words, little kid." Tang Ze blocked Conan's mouth with a watermelon and said, "Eat your watermelon!"
At the same time, Tang Ze glared at Conan, warning him not to talk anymore, and there was a hint of panic under his calm expression.
With Conan's help, Tang Ze became more and more certain of his previous guess.
But he really didn't expect that such a young lady would fall in love with him. They had only met a few times, so how could she have a good impression of him?
Am I really that popular? Tang Ze fell into deep thought...
But anyway, it seems to be the case from the current situation, but what if it is not?
What if it was just an expression of embarrassment and anger at being matched up by Yuanzi?
In fact, it was not interesting at all to me, but because Sonoko was making a fuss on the side, it turned into this awkward situation.
After all, this is a gentle and virtuous daughter with a mild personality, so it is impossible for her to express this so bluntly.
You know, one of the three biggest illusions in life is "He or she likes me!"
And if he really has feelings for me, what should I do? Tang Ze has not thought about this at all.
Well, now that things have come to this, there is only one way!!
Tang Ze's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his eyes, like sharp blades, cast a chill on Conan.
That half-smile on his face, that meaningful glance as he unconsciously glanced over to the side and whispered something to his mother, made Conan break out in a cold sweat.
"Ah~ I'm hungry, let's go eat!!"
Conan was given a death glare by Tang Ze, and his eyes rolled around. He quickly spoke again in a baby voice, changing the subject.
On the other side, Xiaolan was also worried about the cold war between her mother and father. Now when Conan said he wanted to eat, Xiaolan immediately agreed.
After all, if we were to sit together for dinner, we couldn’t maintain a cold war in front of so many people…right…
However, Murphy's Law will come true on you at this time. Even at the dinner table, there is still no sign of reconciliation between the two.
Everyone ordered drinks and waited patiently for the food to be served.
Unable to bear the tense atmosphere any longer, Kogoro Mouri stood up and said he was going to the bathroom, while Ran, who was standing beside him, spoke well of her father.
However, Kisaki Eri showed her finger without a ring and said frankly that Kogoro Mouri didn't notice it, and that perhaps there was no hope, so she considered starting her life over again.
In response to this, Xiaolan anxiously spoke well of her father, but when Kogoro Mouri, who had been away for a long time, came back again, he was surrounded by two young and beautiful girls.
