Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 362 Tomoko Reunited
Chikage Tomizawa bit her lip: "I know... but I can't help it when I see how cute he is..."

“This ‘uncontrollable urge’ could harm him.” Lin Xiuyi said seriously, her gaze sweeping over every girl present. “If it leads to confusion about his gender identity, then the problem will be serious.”

After reprimanding the group of girls, Lin Xiuyi headed towards the washroom.

Pushing open the door, I saw Chengshi standing on tiptoe on a small stool, brushing her teeth earnestly in front of the mirror. Her little face was scrunched up from the effort, and there was still a little bit of white toothpaste foam on the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Xiu!"

When Chengshi saw Lin Xiuyi, she immediately smiled brightly, but accidentally sprayed foam onto the mirror.

He hurriedly tried to wipe it with his little hands, but ended up getting his hands all wet.

Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, took a towel, and helped him wipe the foam off his hands.

"Thank you, Brother Xiuyi!" Chengshi said sweetly, her eyes full of trust.

After washing up, Lin Xiuyi led Narumi to Kogoro Mouri and Rei Furuya's room.

Before even entering, I could hear deafening snoring coming from inside, rising and falling like they were having a competition.

Lin Xiuyi raised her hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. She reached out and turned the doorknob, but it wasn't locked.

Pushing open the door, the scene before him was both hilarious and absurd: Kogoro Mouri was lying on the bed in a starfish position, with a suspicious transparent liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth; Rei Furuya was curled up on another bed, hugging a pillow, and the two were fast asleep.

"Get up, the sun's already high in the sky." Lin Xiuyi gently kicked the edge of her friend's bed with her toe.

Kogoro Mouri groggily rolled over, mumbling indistinctly, "Just five more minutes."

After saying that, she buried her face in the pillow again.

Seeing this, Narumi tiptoed onto the bed, leaned close to Kogoro's ear, and suddenly shouted, "Kogoro-nii! Ruri-neechan is looking for you!"

"Liuli?!"

Kogoro Mouri sat up with a jolt, his eyes not yet fully open, his hair a mess like a bird's nest.

He looked around blankly, and when he saw Lin Xiuyi's suppressed laughter and Cheng Shi's sly smile, he realized that he had been tricked.

"Fine, you two conspired to lie to me!"

Kogoro Mouri pretended to be angry and reached out to tickle Narumi, who immediately giggled and hid behind Shuichi Hayashi.

The commotion finally woke up Rei Furuya. He rubbed his eyes, sat up, and asked sleepily, "What time is it?"

"If you don't get up now, there won't be any breakfast left," Lin Xiuyi said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Rei Furuya hurriedly put on his T-shirt, but he didn't even realize that he had put it on backwards. Narumi had to remind him to correct it.

……

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, everyone bought a detailed tourist map at the hotel reception.

Eri unfolded the map and discussed the route with Ruri: "Let's go to the Shonan coast first, then to Enoshima."

"The weather is nice today," Kogoro Mouri said, looking up at the clear blue sky and stretching his arms. "There's not a cloud in the sky, so it shouldn't rain."

"Stop jinxing it," Ruri said, giving him a playful shove. "Last summer vacation, we went out to play, and you said something like that. Then it poured rain that afternoon, and we all got soaked." "That's not my fault," Kogoro Mouri pouted. "It's the weather forecast's fault for being inaccurate."

Just then, Tomizawa Chikage quietly approached Narumi and took out a delicate nautical-style hat from her bag: "Narima, wear this, the sun at the beach will be very strong."

Narumi curiously took the hat and was about to put it on when Lin Xiuyi coughed lightly, and Tomizawa Chikage immediately shrank back like a child who had done something wrong.

However, Lin Xiuyi did not stop him this time, but simply nodded: "The sun is indeed very strong today, wearing a hat can protect you from the sun."

Tomizawa Chikage's eyes lit up, and she immediately helped Narumi put on her hat, carefully adjusting the angle.

Narumi looked even cuter under the hat, like a mini version of a little sailor.

"So cute!" Yukiko couldn't help but take out her phone to take a picture, and the other girls also gathered around. Narumi was a little shy because of the sudden attention and quickly hid behind Hayashi Hideichi.

"Alright, stop fooling around," Lin Xiuyi said, protecting Cheng Shi as they walked towards the tour bus at the hotel entrance.

Reiko, Eri, and Yukiko were the first to get into the car, and then they all looked at Hayashi Shuichi with obvious expectation in their eyes, clearly hoping that he would sit next to them.

Lin Xiuyi pretended not to see and quickly pulled Mouri Kogoro, who was trying to get closer to Liuli, saying, "Let's sit together."

"Hey, I'm spending today with my girlfriend!" Kogoro Mouri said, looking at Ruri who was covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Are we still brothers?" Lin Xiu put a big accusation on him, and Kogoro Mouri could only sit down next to him, feeling depressed.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ruri sat down next to Eri and chuckled in a low voice, "You really have a lot of rivals. Luckily, I didn't fall for Shuichi back then."

Eri Kisaki pouted: "You heartless bastard. If it weren't for me, who knows how much longer you and Kogoro would have dragged this out."

"Okay, okay, it was my fault," Liuli said, laughing as she hugged her best friend's arm. The two girls burst into laughter.

"Tch," Yukiko glanced at the two intimate figures, curled her lip, and turned to wave to her younger cousin, "Reiko, come sit here."

Midori Orikasa sat down with Akane Koizumi, still grateful to the senior who had helped her save her friend.

Narumi and Furuya huddled together, the former excitedly pointing at the scenery outside the window, her little face almost pressed against the glass.

In the end, only Tomizawa Chikage was left alone. She didn't mind, found a window seat in front of Hayashi Hideichi, closed her eyes, and prepared to take a nap.

Just then, there was a commotion at the bus door, and more passengers boarded.

Lin Xiuyi, who was also preparing to close his eyes to rest, was nudged by Mouri Kogoro as soon as he closed his eyes: "Xiuyi, it's the girl I met in the elevator last night."

Lin Xiuyi opened his eyes in confusion and saw Miss Pengzi and her long-haired friend getting into the car.

Today, Tomoko wore a light blue dress that made her skin look exceptionally fair. The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, like the ripples of ocean waves.

Her long-haired friend was dressed casually, in a beige knit sweater and jeans, looking gentle and lovely.

The two also saw Kogoro Mouri and Hideichi Hayashi.

The long-haired girl nodded politely, a faint smile on her lips; Tomoko, on the other hand, glared at Lin Xiuyi, wrinkled her small nose, and pursed her red lips into a line, clearly still remembering what happened last night.

"Looks like you've been targeted," Kogoro Mouri muttered gloatingly.
