Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 297 Mother and daughter talk
Seeing that her mother was still knocking on the door, Yukiko quickly looked to Hayashi Hideichi for help, her eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness.

How to do?
What else can we do but open the door?

Lin Xiuyi mouthed a reply.

After saying that, he glanced at the dolls on the bed, suddenly grabbed one, and crawled under the covers.

Yukiko immediately understood what he meant.

Although she was still worried, she had no choice but to get up, take a deep breath, try to calm herself down, and then open the door for her mother.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Mrs. Fujimine was clearly a little angry.

"I was lying in bed memorizing my lines," Yukiko pouted, feigning displeasure. "Didn't I already tell you? You kept knocking on the door, and I forgot all the lines I had just memorized."

"I've just forgotten for now. I'll remember it after reviewing it in a bit, and I'll remember it even better," Mrs. Fujimine said to her daughter while glancing around the bedroom.

There aren't many places to hide as far as the eye can see.

“Oh, right, I think I forgot something when I was tidying up your room just now,” Mrs. Fujimine said as she walked to the bedside.

Upon seeing this, Yukiko's heart immediately jumped into her throat.

Fortunately, Mrs. Fujimine did not check the blankets on the bed, but instead suddenly lifted the sheets and looked down.

There were only a few storage boxes belonging to the girl under the bed, along with some packaged magazines.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Yukiko asked irritably.

"I told you, something was left here with you," Mrs. Fujimine said, turning her attention to the wardrobe next to her after her first attempt failed.

Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her walk towards the wardrobe.

Suddenly, she noticed a hand reaching out from under the blanket and pointing at the bed.

Is Shuichi telling me to lie down on the bed?

By the way, if I'm lying in bed, it's harder for Mom to lift the covers!
Yukiko quickly kicked off her slippers, climbed into bed, and crawled under the covers.

She had just settled down on the bed when she felt a tightening around her waist.

Lin Xiuyi, who was in bed, crawled over from the side and clung tightly to her like a koala.

hateful!

That pervert is definitely trying to take advantage of me!
Yukiko clenched her fists, barely suppressing the urge to beat up Hayashi Hideichi right now.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fujimine had already opened the wardrobe and carefully inspected it inside and out.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Mrs. Fujimine checked under the table again, but still found nothing.

Finally, she turned her gaze to the bedroom door.

Then, Mrs. Fujimine found a damp short-sleeved shirt and trousers, along with a pair of boxer briefs, behind the door.

"These are your clothes? I've never seen them before." Mrs. Fujimine looked surprised. "And these boxer shorts?"

"I bought this in the village where the film crew was shooting; there's only one small shop there,"

Yukiko tried to make her voice sound calmer.
"I forgot to bring safety shorts this time, so I had to make do with these. I wore them under my skirt during the shoot to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions."

“I see,” Mrs. Fujimine said without further doubt. “Then why did you put the clothes here? It’s so damp in the room, they definitely won’t dry.”

"I'm just too tired, I don't want to do the laundry," Yukiko explained, forcing a smile. "You're getting lazier and lazier," Mrs. Fujimine shook her head, crumpling the clothes into a ball. "I'll wash them for you in a bit."

"Mom, have you checked enough?" Yukiko bit her lip.

"What inspection? Didn't I say we were looking for something?" Mrs. Fujimine looked at the girl's large bed. "Why is the blanket so bulging?"

“It was raining heavily today, and I was scared, so I slept with them,” Yukiko said matter-of-factly, picking up a plush toy and hugging it to her chest.

Mrs. Fujimine never expected that her daughter would be so bold as to hide the boy in her bed.

After searching around without finding it, she gave up on her previous idea and thought she was just being paranoid.

"How old are you? Still playing this?" Mrs. Fujimine smiled indulgently and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yukiko's heart leaped into her throat again. Her hands unconsciously gripped the doll tightly, her mind consumed with thoughts of how to get rid of her mother.

"Mom, I still need to memorize my lines. I need to get back to the set tomorrow morning so we can start filming immediately."

"Is your career so important that you don't even want to have a heart-to-heart talk with your mother?" Mrs. Fujimine said, climbing onto the bed as well. "Move over a bit, let's have a good chat tonight, mother and daughter."

Yukiko didn't dare to refuse, so she could only move in a little further with her "koala" companion, Hayashi Hideichi.

Madam Fujimine lifted half of the blanket to cover herself, and if she were to glance down even slightly during this time, she would immediately see a pair of wide-eyed stares.

When the blanket was lifted, Lin Xiuyi was startled and quickly curled up on the other side of the girl, not daring to breathe.

Fortunately, Mrs. Fujimine did not notice anything unusual.

She reached out and hugged her daughter: "Tell me, why did you suddenly come home? Did you run into some problems on set, or did you want to go back to Mihua to see that Lin Jun?"

"Mom, what are you saying!" Yukiko blushed instantly, her face full of embarrassment and panic. "Why was I looking at him for no reason!"

Mrs. Fujimine gazed tenderly at her daughter's flushed cheeks, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

“It seems it really isn’t the production crew’s problem,” she said, gently stroking her daughter’s soft hair. “Ever since you started high school, nine out of ten sentences you say to your parents are about that Lin Xiuyi.”

Mrs. Fujimine winked mischievously.
"You still say you don't like him?"

"I didn't!" Yukiko suddenly sat up straight.

If this lecherous man wasn't hiding in my bed, I would have admitted it to my mother.

But now, Lin Xiuyi is curled up beside her.

The girl already imagined how that despicable guy would be smug after learning all this, and then he would bully her even more.

Just imagining this scene made Yukiko so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Okay, fine, I'll just say you don't like it, alright?"

Lady Fujimine took it as mere girlish shyness and didn't think much of it, continuing in a gentle yet earnest tone,
"In short, at your age, it's fine to date, but there are some things you must not do impulsively."

Yukiko felt Lin Xiuyi, who was hiding under the covers, move slightly. Her heart jumped into her throat, and she quickly reached out from under the covers and pinched the restless pervert.

Just as things were settled, her mother's next words made Yukiko feel even more uneasy.

“Even if you really can’t resist, you must take precautions,” Mrs. Fujimine gently patted her daughter’s hand, lowering her voice even further, “Mom doesn’t want to hold a grandchild at such a young age…”
