Chapter 776 The Blue Cat Changed Its Name

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Oh my god, Mom, you actually forgot, this is a very important anniversary!"

"Anniversary? Today isn't my birthday, right?"

Kisaki Eri was confused by Xiaolan's words. She quickly searched through various possible anniversaries in her mind, but she couldn't remember what special day today was.

"No, what day is today?" Xiaolan explained with a smile: "Today is the anniversary of Dad and Mom's first date!"

Hibiki Eri: “…”

"Anniversary?"

Kisaki Eri was a little surprised. She had actually forgotten about this day a long time ago. After all, so many years had passed, and her relationship with Mouri Kogoro had become complicated.

"Yes, I found it on a very old photo album when I was tidying up the bookcase at home yesterday." Xiaolan happily recounted her discovery, not noticing that Kisaki Eri had fallen silent.

Although she knew in her heart that the possibility of her parents getting back together was almost slim after the last trip to Izu, as their daughter, she still held out a glimmer of hope. If there was a chance, she really wanted to bring them together again.

After all, Kogoro Mori is usually confused.

But when it comes to treating his daughter, the uncle is still very precious.

After hearing what Xiaolan said, Kisaki Eri subconsciously glanced at Hanyu Kusunoki beside her, and saw a faint smile on the boy's face, as if he could see through all her thoughts.

For some reason, Kisaki Eri spoke harshly to her daughter for the first time: "I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood to joke with you about these old and moldy past events today."

Hearing this, Xiaolan's smile paused. She didn't expect her mother to react like this. She felt a little disappointed: "Really..."

At this time, a Russian Blue cat slowly ran out from the corner of the room, walked straight towards Hanyu Kusunoki, and then rubbed against his ankles affectionately.

"Hi, Goro."

Xiaolan bent down and greeted the blue cat.

However, the blue cat obviously did not respond to her greeting and continued to rub its head against Hanyu Kusunoki's thigh, as if Hanyu Kusunoki was its only favorite.

Seeing this, Kiyori coughed lightly and said, "Xiaolan, Gulu is not called this name now."

"Eh? What's Gollum called now?"

“It’s called Xiaonan now.”

Kisaki Eri said this while pretending to be calm.

Xiaolan widened her eyes: "Eh? Mom, didn't you always call it Wulang? Why did you suddenly..."

Halfway through her words, Xiaolan suddenly realized something and her eyes shifted back and forth between her mother and Hanyu Kusunoki.

Hanyu Kusunoki shook his head in amusement. The barrister really liked to use the names of pets to express his emotions.

He squatted down and gently stroked the blue cat's head: "It seems that Aunt Yingli likes the gift I gave her very much."

"No, no!" Hibiki Eri hastily denied, her cheeks flushed unconsciously, "I just think... this name is more pronounceable..."

Xiaolan looked at her mother's abnormal behavior suspiciously: "Mom, your face is so red..."

The office is too hot!" Fei Yingli turned around in a panic to open the window. Her fingers were shaking slightly. She finally opened the window. A breeze blew, but it did not blow away the panic in her heart. "By the way, are you hungry? I know there is a good restaurant nearby..."

Hanyu Nan looked at Kisaki Eri's helpless look and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Of course he knew why the cat changed its name - since the trip to Izu, Kisaki Eri may not have realized it herself, but she began to intentionally or unintentionally avoid everything related to "Mouri Kogoro".

"Okay~" Hanyu Kusunoki stood up and deliberately moved closer to Kisaki Eri, "It's my honor to have lunch with my mother-in-law."

The call of "Auntie Yingli" was particularly lingering, making Fei Yingli's ears feel hot. She hurriedly picked up her bag and said, "I, I'm going to touch up my makeup. You guys sit down for a while..."

Watching her mother running away in panic, Xiaolan turned to Hanyu Nan thoughtfully: "Nan, has mom been acting strange lately?"

Hanyu Kusunoki looked innocent: "Really? Maybe it's because of the work pressure."

He picked up the blue cat and gently scratched its chin with his slender fingers. The cat squinted its eyes comfortably and purred even louder.

"Good boy, little Nan~" Hanyu Nan deliberately used the name that Kisaki Eri gave the cat to tease it, and the sound was just loud enough for Kisaki Eri to hear in the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Hibiki was applying lipstick when her hand trembled and the lipstick went directly onto her cheek. She looked at herself in the mirror with a red face and bit her lip in annoyance.

"Hibiki Eri, what on earth are you thinking about..."

She blamed herself quietly, but the handsome face of the young man emerged in her mind uncontrollably. That smile and that look seemed to have been deeply imprinted in her heart.

A few minutes later.

After calming down, Hibiki Eri came out of the bathroom and just in time saw Xiaolan taking a vase from the corner of the office and trying to put the roses she brought into it.

These are the flowers grown in the evolutionary flowerpots.

The scent of flowers has a restorative effect.

"Xiaolan, don't use this vase, change it."

"Oh, ok mom."

Xiaolan didn't understand why, but she did it anyway.

Just then, the phone in the office suddenly rang, and Hibiki Eri hurried over to answer the phone.

As the voice came from the other end of the phone, a happy smile gradually appeared on Kisaki Eri's face, and all these subtle changes fell into Xiaolan's eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

The girl's doubts grew.

Why does mom feel so strange today?

Hanyu Kusunoki suddenly thought of something, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and the Eye of Prescience was activated.

After hanging up the phone, Hibiki looked at the two of them apologetically: "Lan, Nan, I'm really sorry, I have to go out for a while. If I can make it in time, I'll treat you to lunch."

As he spoke, the barrister picked up his bag and walked out.

"Xiao Nan, please help me take care of Xiao Nan. It's almost time for it to go to the toilet."

"Okay, Aunt Eri."

Xiaolan was still a little dazed as she watched her mother leave.

Hanyu Nan smiled and tapped the girl's head: "Okay, don't think too much, Auntie may just have something urgent to deal with."

is that so……"

Xiaolan pouted, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated.

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the blue cat running to the vase at some point, and saw it kicking its hind legs and leaping over it. The vase instantly collapsed and a pile of paper balls rolled out of it.
