Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 289 Yukiko: You know how to talk, I'll give you a little treat...

“Senior, it’s still early tonight, so I’ll walk back by myself,” Midori Orikasa said, stroking Pudding’s fluffy head. “You can borrow the bicycle for now.”

I haven't said anything yet. Lin Xiuyi awkwardly touched his face and asked, trying to make conversation, "By the way, didn't Pudding and Wangcai not get along? How come they're hanging out together today?"

"This..." Midori Orikasa was clearly hesitant to speak, and her fair cheeks flushed slightly.

"What else could it be?" Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily. "Of course, it's because Wangcai has won the heart of a beautiful woman, no, I mean, a beautiful dog!"

"Wang Wang!"

Wangcai noticed that everyone was looking at it, so it immediately puffed out its chest and barked proudly.

"No way?" Lin Xiuyi's eyes widened in surprise. "Pudding really got to be simpeded by Wangcai?"

“It wasn’t just licking,” Kogoro Mouri winked. “This afternoon, after Midori brought Pudding to the shop, the two dogs quickly piled on top of each other in front of everyone.”

"Ahem!" Midori quickly interrupted him, her face flushed. "Senior, Pudding must be in heat right now, that's why she's acting like that. I... I'll go back now!"

The girl hurriedly picked up the pudding and walked quickly towards the store exit, accidentally kicking the umbrella stand by the door with a loud bang.

"I'm going upstairs too," Kogoro Mouri glanced at Eri Kisaki and Yukiko, gave Shuichi Hayashi a "take care" look, and then called to Wangcai to leave the store together.

As the shop door slammed shut, the once bustling izakaya fell silent, leaving only Hayashi Shuichi, Eri Kisaki, and Yukiko looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat silent, Lin Xiuyi quickly asked, "By the way, who should I take home first tonight?"

"How about rock-paper-scissors, like last week?" Yukiko suggested. "I'm sure I won't lose this time!"

Eri Kisaki adjusted her glasses: "I have no objection."

Ten seconds later, Yukiko deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped helplessly onto the table: "Damn it! I lost again!"

Frustrated, she slammed her fist on the table, making the bowls and chopsticks clatter.

"You'll never beat me in this lifetime!" Eri Kisaki's lips curled up as she triumphantly declared her victory.

……

A gentle night breeze blew as Lin Xiuyi rode his bicycle to take Fei Yingli home.

"At the art museum this afternoon."

As soon as the girl sitting in the back opened her mouth, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly defended herself:

"This is not my fault. I never expected to encounter robbers just by going to an art museum."

"Who blames you!"

Eri Kisaki rolled her eyes at her childhood friend, then gently pinched him with her slender fingers:
"I just want to say that in the future, if you encounter something like this, you should pay more attention to safety!"

"Mm," Lin Xiuyi nodded quickly, and feeling the warmth coming from behind him, he unconsciously slowed down.

"When Reiko and Rei Furuya came back in the afternoon and started bragging about how amazing and fast you were at subduing the robbers, I was so worried."

Eri's voice suddenly softened as she gently pressed her face against Hideki's back and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Through the thin shirt, the girl could clearly feel the other person's strong back muscles and powerful heartbeat:

"The robbers are armed with handguns; what if they open fire?"

"Don't worry," Lin Xiuyi sensed her fear and gently placed one hand on the back of her hand. "I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle. Besides, I wasn't fighting alone. Wasn't Kudo Yusaku there with me?" "He's just a novelist. How good can he be?" Kisaki Eri scoffed.

“Then you’re underestimating him,” Lin Xiuyi said with a smile. “Besides writing mystery novels, that guy is also proficient in hand-to-hand combat, firearms shooting, driving, boating, and flying airplanes.”

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "He told you that? That's such an exaggeration!"

"I'm not exaggerating," Lin Xiuyi thought to himself.

In the original timeline, Shinichi Kudo was good at everything except singing.

Whenever someone asks him why he knows this, Shinichi Kudo's answer is always, "My dad taught me in Hawaii."

Therefore, it is clear that even if Yusaku Kudo is not an all-rounder, he is not far off.

“Novelists exaggerate,” Eri Kisaki chuckled. “How could there possibly be an omnipotent person in this world?”

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the girl's apartment building.

Lin Xiuyi braced himself on one foot to steady the bicycle. Just as he was about to watch Fei Yingli go upstairs, the girl took two steps forward and then suddenly turned around.

“Rei Furuya is occupying your bedroom tonight,” Eri Kisaki said, a faint blush rising on her face. “If you don’t have anywhere to sleep tonight, why don’t you…”

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lin Xiuyi understood perfectly well.

His blood was boiling, and he was about to nod excitedly when he suddenly remembered his promise to Lingzi, and it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

"I'm afraid it won't work today," Lin Xiuyi said with a sullen face. "I promised Lingzi that I would go back to the Kujo family early tomorrow morning. If I sleep here tonight, I will definitely not have any energy tomorrow. When Lingzi's parents see this, they will scold me again."

"I only asked you to rest at my house, I didn't ask you to do anything else!"

Eri blushed and glared at him before turning and walking quickly toward the apartment door.

On Mihua Street, a cool breeze still blew, but behind Lin Xiuyi, there was a different girl.

"What exactly is going on with that Akane Koizumi?"

Yukiko angrily waved her fist, nearly causing the bicycle to lose its balance.
“And Ms. Murakami! That’s my seat. I didn’t drop out of school. Why should she let Akane Koizumi take my seat?”

"That's not taking over, it's just sitting here temporarily,"

Lin Xiuyi steadied the handlebars and, sensing the restless movements of the girl behind him, quickly spoke up to soothe her:
"Next week when I go to school, I'll go to the storeroom and move some desks and chairs for her!"

Why are you so eager?

Yukiko pouted, rested her chin on Hayashi Shuichi's shoulder, and looked at him suspiciously:
"I heard from the girl with glasses that Akane Koizumi is very pretty?"

At this point, the girl's words clearly carried a hint of jealousy:
"I heard that on her first day of school, the students at Teitan High School blocked the school gate because of her?"

"That was just an accident," Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but laugh as he thought about that day. "In terms of looks and figure, she's far inferior to you!"

"Really?"

Hearing these words from Hayashi Hideichi immediately made Yukiko smile with satisfaction, and two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Looking at the boy riding his bike ahead, the girl's eyes darted around, and suddenly she leaned close to Lin Xiuyi's ear with a playful smile:

"You know how to talk, I'll give you a little something."
