Little Fox expressed extreme disbelief at Mu Tianyuan explaining his mistaking Yuuta for Yuzuna by 'like sexes repel,' and immediately squinted at Mu Tianyuan, retorting, "I think you just have a bad memory. Otherwise, a five-year-old kid like you isn't going to have 'like sexes repel'!"
"Is a five-year-old not a boy? Gender has nothing to do with age, you know?" Mu Tianyuan's reply was full of self-righteousness and utter unreasonableness.
While Mu Tianyuan and Little Fox were bickering, Uncle Kogoro Mouri, walking beside them, stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of which, why did he wait until three years later, until today, to get his revenge?"
"I didn't ask that question, and he didn't say," Mu Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders in reply. He didn't have the time to ask that back then. Besides, it wasn't an important question, so Mu Tianyuan simply ignored it. If Uncle Kogoro Mouri hadn't suddenly brought it up, Mu Tianyuan might not have thought of it at all.
"He probably waited until Yuuta was as old as his son," Conan piped in, walking with his hands behind his head. Although he hadn't helped at all this afternoon, at least he could intellectually crush these two fools, especially that lucky bastard Mu Tianyuan!
"So that's what happened!" Uncle Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, after hearing Conan's explanation. Thinking about it, it seemed to be true!
Mu Tianyuan also nodded from the side. "So that chubby uncle is actually a compulsive-obsessive?"
Conan: "..."Â Damn it, is that considered compulsive-obsessive? He clearly had a clear goal!
At this moment, Ran Mouri, who was following behind, suddenly interjected, "As expected of a great deduction!"
"Uh, ha, but, I'm just a little kid, so I don't really understand." Conan only reacted after hearing Ran's words, realizing that his major crisis seemed to still be unresolved. He immediately started to act dumb and cute. Then, before Ran could say anything, Conan dropped a line about having something else to do and darted off. Watching Conan run away, Uncle Kogoro Mouri looked puzzled. "What's that kid up to again?"
"Who knows, maybe he's gone crazy again," Mu Tianyuan replied, shrugging nonchalantly, while secretly glancing at Ran's darkened face as she glared at Conan's retreating figure. Then, Mu Tianyuan sent a private message to Little Fox: "I always feel that Conan must have done something else to make Ran suspicious. Look at Ran's face, it's black as a pot!"
"Mm-hmm," Little Fox nodded quickly, then wagged her tail and said, "Do you think Conan is doomed this time?"
"Probably not. As far as I know, Ran has suspected Conan many times, but in the end, that kid Conan always managed to fool her with a scare and get away with it," Mu Tianyuan recalled, shaking his head. Then, suddenly, Mu Tianyuan said proudly, "How about that? Am I very wise?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Little Fox stated that she truly found it difficult to understand Mu Tianyuan's line of thought at this moment. What did this guy do to make him so wise?
"Don't you think the decision to freeload dinner at Aunt Eri's house today was extremely wise?" Mu Tianyuan replied smugly. Little Fox pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I still have no idea what you're talking about."
"Look at Ran's current state. Do you think Ran is in the mood to cook today? Who knows how terrible it might turn out! And don't you think Ran's house is definitely a minefield today?" Mu Tianyuan kept glancing at Ran while replying to Little Fox. Ran was clearly not in a good state today. Who knew if Ran would even bother to cook?! So his decision to freeload at Eri Kisaki's place was absolutely brilliant!
Upon arriving downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency, Mu Tianyuan waved at Ran and Uncle Kogoro Mouri. "Goodbye, Uncle Mouri, Ran!"
"Hmm? Aren't you coming to my house for dinner today?" Uncle Kogoro Mouri asked, looking at Mu Tianyuan with some confusion. Uncle Kogoro Mouri was already used to Mu Tianyuan freeloading at his house. But today, Mu Tianyuan suddenly came all the way downstairs but didn't come to his house, which made Uncle Kogoro Mouri a little puzzled.
"I have a dinner date with a mature and beautiful lady, so I won't be coming to your house today. Tomorrow, I'll definitely come to your house to freeload," Mu Tianyuan said with a smile, looking at Uncle Kogoro Mouri.
Hearing this reply, Uncle Kogoro Mouri took a great deal of effort to control the urge to flip Mu Tianyuan off. Damn it, you can even talk about freeloading with such righteousness. This is a first for me!
Mu Tianyuan waved at Uncle Kogoro Mouri and the others, then said, "Uncle, it's agreed, I'm coming to your house to freeload tomorrow, bye-bye!"
Uncle Kogoro Mouri: "..."Â Agreed my ass! Who the hell agreed with you?!
After walking a short distance, Little Fox looked at Mu Tianyuan curiously and asked, "Say, your 'dinner date with a mature and beautiful lady' refers to little Ran's mother, right? So, when did you make this appointment?"
Little Fox was hanging on Mu Tianyuan all day long. If she remembered correctly, the decision to freeload at Eri Kisaki's house was made by this guy with a slap on his forehead in the small park. So where did this guy arrange a dinner date with Eri Kisaki?
"Five minutes later," Mu Tianyuan replied as he walked, then added, "Of course, if I walk faster, it might only take three minutes."
Little Fox listened, then, after a quick mental calculation of the time and distance, looked at Mu Tianyuan with a speechless expression and said, "Isn't that just going home?"
Mu Tianyuan nodded, self-righteously saying, "That's right, it's an appointment made after I get home. Otherwise, how can I, a miserable soul without even a phone, make dinner plans with anyone?"
Little Fox: "Why don't you just say you're making an impromptu appointment?"
After running home, Mu Tianyuan picked up the phone and called Eri Kisaki's office. Eri Kisaki, upon hearing that Mu Tianyuan wanted to come to her place for dinner, didn't refuse. Instead, she enthusiastically invited Mu Tianyuan over, and even stated that she would personally cook. When Mu Tianyuan heard that Eri Kisaki would personally cook, he immediately said with a smile, "Then, Aunt Eri, you'll be working hard. Speaking of which, I've never tasted your cooking before."
"Then today I'll let you taste my cooking. You know, ordinary people don't get to eat my cooking," Eri Kisaki replied somewhat smugly on the phone. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mu Tianyuan hung up the phone and waved at Little Fox and Catwoman. "Let's go, let's set off."
"Let's go, let's go, time to eat!" Little Fox immediately scrambled onto Mu Tianyuan's shoulder, bouncing with joy, and Catwoman skillfully leaped into Mu Tianyuan's arms. The family of three closed the door and set off towards the apartment where Eri Kisaki currently lived. When they arrived at Eri Kisaki's place, they rang the doorbell, and not long after, the door opened. Mu Tianyuan looked at Eri Kisaki, who was wearing an apron, and said, "Aunt Eri, we're here."
"Come in quickly," Eri Kisaki smiled and welcomed Mu Tianyuan into her home. After closing the door, Eri Kisaki smiled and said to Mu Tianyuan, "Have a seat first, dinner will be ready soon."
Nearly an hour later, Mu Tianyuan looked at the beautifully presented dishes on the dining table and exclaimed, "Aunt Eri, did you make all of these?"
"Of course," Eri Kisaki nodded with a smile. Mu Tianyuan, like Little Fox and Catwoman, stared at the dishes on the table with shining eyes and said, "Aunt Eri, you're amazing! These dishes look just like they're from a restaurant!"
Eri Kisaki smiled with a hint of pride. After putting some food into the bowls prepared for Little Fox and Catwoman, she smiled at Mu Tianyuan and said, "Come, don't be shy, eat quickly."
"I'm digging in!" Mu Tianyuan said to Eri Kisaki, then, along with Little Fox and Catwoman, they eagerly began to eat. But when they took a bite and swallowed, Mu Tianyuan, Little Fox, and Catwoman all froze. Not only that, Little Fox and Catwoman's fur also bristled. Then, Catwoman started frantically running around the room like crazy, meowing as she ran. Eri Kisaki didn't understand what Catwoman was yelling about, but Mu Tianyuan did. He heard Catwoman repeatedly screaming, "So bad, so bad! I'm dying, meow! I'm dying, meow!"
Little Fox was much calmer than Catwoman. She didn't jump around, displaying her agility, nor did she shout and yell, showcasing her voice. Because at this moment, Little Fox was already趴 (lying flat) on the ground. If her ears hadn't occasionally twitched and her tail flicked twice, she would have looked like a dead fox...
The calmest of all was Mu Tianyuan. He didn't jump around like Catwoman, nor did he play dead like Little Fox. He just sat blankly in his seat, deeply contemplating life. What did "golden on the outside, trash on the inside" mean? At this moment, he completely understood! Good-looking things aren't necessarily delicious. It's like poisonous mushrooms in nature: beautiful, but can kill you if eaten! Clearly, what Eri Kisaki cooked belonged to the poisonous mushrooms of the culinary world!
Eri Kisaki didn't know that Catwoman was stimulated. She looked at Catwoman, who was frantically running around the room, and asked Mu Tianyuan, "Little Mu, what's wrong with Kaede?"
Mu Tianyuan was contemplating life and didn't immediately answer Eri Kisaki's question. Eri Kisaki waited for a while and, not hearing Mu Tianyuan's reply, couldn't help but turn to look at Mu Tianyuan. It was then that she realized Mu Tianyuan seemed completely off. So Eri Kisaki immediately disregarded Catwoman and looked at Mu Tianyuan, asking, "Little Mu, Little Mu, what's wrong?"
