Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 175 Lin Xiuyi received a good guy card
"Kogoro..."

Doigaki Ruri's mouth corners slightly raised, and she shook her head helplessly. It was obvious that Maori Kogoro had long been accustomed to this problem.

"I didn't expect he was still so forgetful."

"Maybe you were too excited and remembered the wrong place," Hibiki Eri didn't want her friend to feel disappointed, so she quickly held her hand and comforted her.

"Although Kogoro isn't here, Eri and I are here," Lin Xiu said with a smile, "Let's just treat it as a gathering of friends. I just happened to make some fruit porridge. Would you like to try it?"

Kisaki Eri pulled Doigaki Ruri to sit in front of the kitchen counter, and Lin Xiuyi scooped a bowl of porridge and handed it to her.

Doigaki Ruri looked at her two friends with a smile in her eyes: "Don't worry, I know Kogoro's character. There's no way he would get angry over such a small thing."

As she spoke, she picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of fruit porridge into her mouth. After savoring it carefully, she exclaimed,

"This porridge has a strong fruity flavor. The aroma of rice and fruit blends well. It has a rich texture and tastes really good."

"Xuyi, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills?"

"He's been hiding it all the time," Hibiki Eri glanced at her childhood sweetheart with a hint of pride in her eyes. "I only found out about his excellent cooking skills half a month ago. He never told us before."

"Isn't this better?" Doigaki Ruri smiled meaningfully. "One of you has to be good at cooking. This way, it will be much more convenient when we are together in the future."

As soon as she said this, Kiyori's face instantly turned red, her eyes darted around in panic, and even her speech became stammering.

"Who, who wants to be with him!"

"You two grew up together and have always had a wonderful relationship. How could anyone else possibly get in the way?" Doigaki Ruri said with a smile, her eyes full of determination. "If you ask me, it's impossible for you two not to be together. Am I right, Shuichi?"

"This..." Lin Xiuyi was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Fei Yingli.

Although the latter pretended not to care, he was closely watching his childhood sweetheart's reaction out of the corner of his eye, with a barely perceptible nervousness on his face.

Lin Xiuyi hesitated for a moment: "Today is your date with Kogoro, why are you talking about me and Eri? Let's talk about you two."

It was obvious that Kisaki Eri was not satisfied with his answer. She turned her head slightly, her face full of displeasure.

Yukiko Fujimine was also furious when she heard this. She always felt that Doigaki Ruri's words "How could anyone else possibly get in" were a sarcasm towards her.

She's really a good friend of the girl with glasses...

Fujimine Yukiko gritted her teeth in irritation and suddenly asked, "I heard from the girl with glasses that many girls liked Shuichi in junior high school. Didn't Doigaki-san have any feelings for Shuichi?"

When she asked this question, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Lin Xiuyi didn't know how to speak. Although Kisaki Eri was a little angry that Fujimine Yukiko ruined the atmosphere, she was also curious about the answer to this question.

Doigaki Ruri looked at Fujimine Yukiko with amusement, then looked at her good friend Kisaki Eri,

"Although Shuichi is handsome and has a good personality, unfortunately, he's not my type. I feel more like him as if he were my own brother, and I have no other thoughts at all." "Come to think of it, when you confessed to Kogoro before, it really scared us," Kisaki Eri gossiped, "When did you fall in love with that idiot?"

"This..." Doigaki Ruri's face flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes.

She lowered her head, stirring the fruit porridge with the spoon in her hand. After a long while, she whispered embarrassedly,
"Actually, I was already interested in Kogoro when I was in kindergarten. It wasn't until I entered junior high school that I realized I liked him."

"Kindergarten?" Kisaki Eri and Lin Xiuyi looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask: "Did that idiot bully you?"

In the two people's impression, although Kogoro Mouri was not a class bully when he was a child, he was definitely the most mischievous child in the class and caused trouble for teachers and classmates.

"How could Kogoro possibly bully me?"

Doigaki Ruri shook her head gently, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes becoming a little blurry, as if she had returned to that innocent time.

"I remember that I had just started kindergarten. Because I was introverted, I didn't have many friends and always sat alone in the corner."

"Once, other kids bullied me, took my toys away, and laughed at me."

"Just when I was about to cry out of grievance, it was Kogoro who stood up, blocked my way, yelled at the kids, and helped me drive them away."

"After that, I gradually became familiar with you guys."

"So that's how it is. This is something Kogoro could really do..."

Kisaki Eri nodded with sudden realization, her eyes full of emotion, as if she saw the brave Kogoro Mori and the helpless Doigaki Ruri back then.

"I didn't expect Kogoro to be the hero who saved the damsel in distress," Fujimine Yukiko teased, nudging Hayashi Shuichi beside her. "What about you? Why don't you show any effort?"

"Back then, Shuichi had a stern face and kept silent all day long," Doigaki Ruri couldn't help but laugh, her eyes filled with nostalgia for the past. "All the classmates in the class were afraid of him, and I was the same. Every time I saw him, I felt that he exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach him."

"Ah? There's such a thing?" Fujimine Yukiko suddenly became interested. "Shuiichi actually has moments like this. I thought he was popular with girls since he was a child."

"I remember when we were in kindergarten, everyone called Shuichi "Ice Face" behind his back. Many people were more afraid of him than the teacher," Doigaki Ruri said with a smile. "Every time he appeared, the children around him would unconsciously become quiet. No one dared to speak loudly for fear of upsetting him."

"Ice Face, was your personality so bad back then?"

Fujimine Yukiko's face was full of disbelief. Just as she was about to ask, Kisaki Eri frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's..."

"Why don't you talk about this..." Fujimine Yukiko pouted unconvincedly, hands on her hips, "I also want to know more about Shuichi's childhood, isn't that okay?"

Kisaki Eri had a dark face and said nothing. Doigaki Ruri shook her head gently: "You misunderstood. Eri didn't want you to ask because..."

"It's nothing, actually," Lin Xiuyi said. "My parents had just passed away at that time, and I was in a bad mood and didn't like to talk much. The teachers and doctors at the kindergarten even thought I had autism because of this."
