Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 299 Master, can you tell me how many girlfriends you have?
Lin Xiuyi didn't have the habit of sleeping in the same bed with someone of the same sex, so she went to her own bedroom first, quietly took out a coat, and prepared to sleep on the sofa for a while longer.

But unexpectedly, it still woke up Furuya Rei.

The boy opened his eyes in the middle of the night and saw a dark figure standing in front of the cabinet next to him, groping around. He was so frightened that he screamed in panic.

"It's me!" Lin Xiuyi quickly lowered her voice and made a shushing gesture. "Don't wake Lingzi!"

"Master?"

Rei Furuya rubbed his sleepy eyes, his voice still carrying lingering fear.

He fumbled to turn on the small bedside lamp, and the warm yellow light immediately dispelled the darkness.

Upon seeing the time displayed on the alarm clock, the boy's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Master, it's already five o'clock! How come..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly froze as if someone had grabbed him by the neck.

An eerie silence fell over the room, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.

Rei Furuya's gaze swept back and forth over Hideaki Lin before she cautiously asked, "Master, did you go to Mrs. Eri's house last night?"

"No," Lin Xiuyi looked at him with a puzzled expression, casually draping her coat over her arm. "Why are you asking this?"

Rei Furuya paused for a moment, seemingly choosing his words carefully: "Master, can you tell me how many girlfriends you have? That way I won't call them the wrong ones later."

"This is none of your business!" Lin Xiuyi glared at him irritably. "Go to sleep."

“Master, you must be staying at Yukiko’s house,” Furuya Rei suddenly said.

"How did you know?" Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“On your face.” Rei Furuya suppressed a laugh and pointed to his face. “Mrs. Yukiko left a mark on you with her lipstick.”

Lin Xiuyi's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed to the window in three steps.

With the help of the glass reflection, he could clearly see the graffiti covering his face.

Above her forehead are the three prominent characters "Yukiko", on each side of her cheeks is a large "Woof", and on the side of her mouth is a bright red and eye-catching lip print.

"No wonder she was talking in her sleep saying 'Stop licking' in the bedroom earlier." Lin Xiuyi suddenly realized, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

In Yukiko's dream, she probably really did become a dog licking her.

And the meaningful smile of the security guard on the first floor—now that I think about it, he clearly misunderstood that he and Yukiko were playing some strange game.

"My innocence!" Lin Xiuyi shook her head in frustration, raising her hand to wipe off the lipstick stain on her face, but the more she tried to wipe it off, the more smudged it became, turning her entire face into a big mess.

"Master, would you like me to fetch you a basin of water?" Furuya Rei was trying so hard not to laugh that his face turned bright red, and his shoulders were shaking.

"No need! You can continue sleeping!" Lin Xiuyi glared at her apprentice in annoyance, grabbed her coat, and walked towards the door.

"Master!" Furuya Rei suddenly called out to him, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Besides fighting, can you teach me anything else?"

"What else do you want to learn?" Lin Xiu asked without turning her head, her fingers still futilely wiping her cheek.

"Of course, it's about how to woo girls!" Rei Furuya jumped excitedly out of bed. "Master, you're amazing! You have so many beautiful girls around you!"

"Kid, how old are you? You're not even fully grown yet, don't think about these things," Lin Xiuyi turned her head and scolded with a stern face, "Go to sleep!"

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Fujimine couple drove their daughter to the station.

When they returned to the apartment, they ran into the security guard who was finishing his night shift and heading home. "Mr. Fujimine, Madam," the security guard greeted them warmly, "Yukiko has found a really capable boyfriend. If it weren't for him last time, our apartment would have been robbed."

The Fujimine couple had already learned from their daughter about Hayashi Xiuyi's capture of the robbers in the apartment building.

Just as Mrs. Fujimine was about to praise Lin Xiu a couple of times, the security guard continued, "Young people these days are really energetic, playing until after four in the morning before leaving, and..."

He suddenly realized he had let something slip and coughed awkwardly twice.

"What did you say?" Mr. Fujimine frowned. "You saw Lin Xiuyi last night?"

"Don't you know?" The security guard scratched his head in confusion. "He came with Yukiko last night and didn't leave until after 4 a.m. I thought you knew."

“How can this be?” Mr. Fujimine instinctively wanted to deny it, but his wife grabbed him.

“Of course we know,” Mrs. Fujimine said with a polite smile, but her fingers gripped her husband’s arm tightly. “We invited that child over to play last night.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mrs. Fujimine hurriedly dragged her husband into the elevator.

The smile on her face vanished the moment the metal door closed.

“We didn’t see Lin Xiuyi last night, so why are you saying that we asked him to come?” Mr. Fujimine asked in a low voice.

"Otherwise what?" Mrs. Fujimine said through gritted teeth. "Tell others that he brought Yukiko home and stayed until almost dawn before leaving?"

Mr. Fujimine suddenly realized, but then frowned: "But if he really was at our house last night, how come we didn't see him?"

"Is that even a question? Of course he's hiding!"

Mrs. Fujimine rolled her eyes, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and froze completely.

"Last night when I was tidying up my daughter's room, she was incredibly nervous."

Her voice grew softer and softer until she was almost talking to herself.

"The only place in the bedroom that wasn't checked was Yukiko's bed."

"You mean," Mr. Fujimine's face instantly turned bright red, "that kid was hiding in Yukiko's bed at the time?"

“I found several wet clothes behind the door last night,” Mrs. Fujimine added with a gloomy face. “Among them was a pair of boxer shorts. Yukiko lied to me and said that she used them as safety shorts on set.”

"That brat not only hid under Yukiko's blanket, but he was also naked at the time?"

Mr. Fujimine flew into a rage, frantically pressing the elevator button for the first floor.

"I'm going to the izakaya right now, I'm going to beat that little brat to a pulp!"

Lin Xiuyi, on this side, is unaware that a great disaster is about to befall him.

As agreed with his sister, he took Reiko back to the Kujo family home after getting up in the morning.

As for his cheap apprentice, Jiang Gu Ling, the kid took his leave after washing up in the morning.

He said he was going home, but judging from his excited appearance, he most likely went to Mikasa Central Hospital to find Narumi.

Just as Reiko said, the Kujo family home was unusually lively today.

It was a rare day off for the Kujo couple. Lin Xiuyi's aunt, Kujo Kotona, was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, while her uncle, Kujo Yoshiyuki, sat at the dining table reading the newspaper...
