Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 53 Don’t Lick My Face
"I mean," Lin Xiuyi emphasized, "can't we reduce the expenses on cosmetics, clothes, beauty treatments, etc."

"How can a girl not buy clothes, not buy cosmetics? And not do beauty treatments?"

Yukiko Fujimine widened her eyes and looked at Hayashi Shuichi as if he were an alien.

"Eri is also a girl, she rarely does these things," Maori Kogoro interrupted, "right, Shuichi?"

"Yes," Lin Xiuyi nodded affirmatively, "Eri's parents give her 50,000 to 60,000 yen in pocket money every month, and she basically saves all of it for her future study abroad."

"That girl with glasses..." Fujimine Yukiko curled her lips. "I'm different from her. I plan to enter the entertainment industry as an actress in the future. Spending on my appearance is essential, don't you think, Mori-san?"

"Yes, that's right!" Maori Kogoro quickly agreed, "Fujimine-san has a point!"

Which side are you on, you guy? Lin Xiuyi looked at his friend speechlessly.

"I've also been looking for a part-time job since school started," Fujimine Yukiko said pitifully, "but it's so hard to find a job with a high hourly wage. Just let me work here, Lin-kun!"

"If you miss out on a cute poster girl like me, it'll be hard to find one!"

"Shuichi!" Maori Kogoro also advised with ulterior motives, "Just keep Fujimine-san. With her around, we have more customers than usual."

Lin Xiuyi thought about it carefully, but still didn't agree: "How about this, wait until Yingli comes tomorrow and see what she thinks."

"Aren't you the store manager?" Fujimine Yukiko asked in confusion, "Why do you have to listen to that girl with glasses?"

"Because she's my good friend who I grew up with," Lin Xiu glanced at the girl, "I don't want her to be unhappy just because you work here."

"So," Fujimine Yukiko pondered, "as long as the girl with glasses agrees, you won't object?"

"That's right," Lin Xiuyi nodded affirmatively.

"Haha, then you just wait and see how I convince her tomorrow!" The girl smiled confidently.

……

Teitan High School classroom,

Lin Xiuyi sat in his seat, helplessly watching the girls on both sides quarreling.

There were only three of them in the huge classroom, and no one knew where the others had gone.

"I told you not to stay!" Kiyori said with a tense face, "Shuichi will definitely listen to me!"

"Lin Jun has already agreed to let me work in the store!" Fujimine Yukiko shouted in dissatisfaction, "Why are you still objecting?"

"I won't do it if I say no!"

"The more you object, the more I'll stay!"

……

Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, Lin Xiuyi was about to speak to mediate, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead.

Lin Xiuyi was startled and opened his eyes suddenly.

The noisy classroom disappeared in an instant, and all that appeared before him was a familiar brown and yellow dog head.

"Wang!"

"Prosperous wealth?"

"Wang Wang!"

The big dog barked excitedly, put its head against Lin Xiuyi and rubbed it constantly.

It turns out that all that was just a dream...

Lin Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he realized something was wrong. Wangcai was just a dog, and there was no way he could come here and enter the room by himself!

Since Wangcai has appeared, that means...

"Onii-chan, it's already nine o'clock and you haven't gotten up yet!"

Along with the words of reproach, the curtains were suddenly pulled open, and the dazzling sunlight shone into the room, making it difficult for Lin Xiuyi to open his eyes.

"Reiko?"

Lin Xiuyi quickly got up and looked at the girl standing by the window. The girl had twin ponytails, a cute round face, and was quite tall. She was wearing the Teitan Elementary School uniform and an armband with the words "Discipline" written on it.

The person who came was his eleven-year-old cousin, Reiko Kujo.

"Onii-chan," Reiko turned her head and looked at Lin Xiuyi with dissatisfaction, "You're sleeping in again!"

"Today is the weekend," Lin Xiuyi laughed dryly, "I slept a little late last night, so..."

Last night, after the izakaya closed, it was almost twelve o'clock. Fujimine Yukiko refused Maori Kogoro who volunteered to take her home, and stared at Hayashi Shuichi.

Lin Xiuyi had no choice but to send her back to the apartment. By the time he went home and went to bed, it was almost one o'clock.

"No matter what, nine o'clock is too late!" said the little cousin with a stern face, "You've only moved out for five days and you've become so lazy, Onii-chan? You should move back and let me take care of you..."

"Hmm, wait a minute, Lingzi," Lin Xiuyi quickly interrupted his sister, "How did you get in?"

"I have the key," the girl picked up the key hanging around her neck and shook it. "Auntie Maori said she'll give it to me for safekeeping."

"Yes, yes..."

The corner of Lin Xiuyi's mouth twitched.

This is terrible. From now on, he won’t even have the chance to sleep in on weekends.

"Hurry up and wash up, Onii-chan. I bought your favorite meat buns and strawberry milk at the convenience store on the way here. They won't taste good if they get cold."

Reiko Kujo pushed her brother out of bed and began to fold the quilt.

"Um, I'll quilt myself later..."

Just as Lin Xiuyi was about to stop her, he was glared at by his sister.
"Onii-chan has told me this many times before, right? What was the result?"

“…I forgot about it, haha…”

Lin Xiuyi smiled awkwardly and quickly fled from the bedroom.

His little cousin is pretty and good at studying, but she has a strong personality. Influenced by her parents, she does everything in a methodical and methodical manner.

Lin Xiuyi himself is a lazy person. Outside of working hours, he always makes do with whatever he can get by.

When he lived in the Kujo family, he was often scolded by his elders and lectured by his little cousin for being lazy.

The incompatibility with the Kujo family was one of the reasons why he moved out to live on his own.

"Wang!"

Wangcai also came out. He hadn't seen his owner for several days, so his tail was wagging rapidly.

"Stupid dog," Lin Xiuyi squatted down, grabbed Wangcai's neck and shook it, "Didn't I tell you not to lick my face?
"Wang?"

Wangcai tilted his head, his face full of innocence.

"You didn't lick it," Lin Xiuyi said angrily, "then where did the wet mark on my forehead come from?"

In the room, Reiko Kujo, who was folding the quilt, suddenly stiffened.

The next moment, she said nonchalantly, "Onii-chan, I'll teach Wangcai a lesson later, so you'd better go wash up quickly."

Wangcai glanced at the young master in the inner room, then looked at Lin Xiuyi, and lowered his head in grievance.

"Haha, after not seeing you for a few days, you're still pretending to be pitiful?" Lin Xiuyi rubbed the dog's head with amusement.

He picked up Wangcai, and no one can tell what breed he is.

It has the height of an Akita Inu, but the flattering face of a Shiba Inu. It is also as gentle and easy to feed as a Chinese native dog.

"Ouni-chan!"

In the bedroom, Reiko Kujo raised her voice.

"I know, I know," Lin Xiuyi stood up helplessly and walked towards the bathroom, "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth now!"
