Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Watching Tomizawa Chikage's figure disappear into the stairwell, Lin Xiuyi hailed another taxi and headed towards the izakaya.

He knew that tonight's unexpected kiss would definitely become "trouble" later.

But at this moment, all he wanted was to go home quickly, get a good night's sleep, and forget about today's embarrassment.

……

It was almost 1 a.m. when I got back to the izakaya.

Reiko was already asleep, but Eri Kisaki did not leave. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Hideaki Hayashi to return.

As soon as Lin Xiu entered, Eri Kisaki stood up, looking at him coldly: "You're finally back. Shouldn't you explain what happened tonight?"

Her voice was calm, but the oppressive feeling within it was suffocating.

Lin Xiuyi's heart skipped a beat, knowing there was no way to avoid it. She could only grit her teeth and recount the events of the evening from beginning to end, including the unexpected kiss.

Eri listened quietly without saying a word, her gaze gradually softening from its initial coldness.

After Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, she sighed, stepped forward, and gently patted his arm.
"I know you didn't mean it, that kiss was definitely an accident. But you mustn't be so reckless in the future. I'll worry if you get hurt."

This response took Lin Xiuyi by surprise. He had been prepared for a barrage of questions, but Fei Yingli was surprisingly magnanimous.
"I understand, I'll be more careful in the future."

Eri smiled, reached out and hugged him, her voice gentle: "It's getting late, go and get some rest. We're planning to go to Osaka tomorrow, aren't we?"

Lin Xiuyi felt a warmth in her heart, nodded, and turned to walk towards her room.

But after taking only two steps, he realized something was wrong.

Eri Kisaki followed closely behind him, not missing a single step.

"You..." Lin Xiuyi turned around in surprise, "Why don't you go home?"

"It's so late, how am I supposed to get home?" Eri glared at him, hands on her hips. "Are you sure you don't want me walking alone at night? What if I run into bad guys?"

"I can deliver it..."

Before Lin Xiu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fei Yingli.
"No need!" Eri waved her hand. "You'll have to come back after you drop me off, won't you? It's too much trouble for you to go back and forth. I don't want you to be so tired."

After saying that, she went into Lin Xiuyi's bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and took out one of his loose shirts.
"What are you waiting for? Come in quickly! I'm sleepy."

"I……"

Lin Xiuyi stood at the door, watching as Fei Yingli in the bedroom took off her short-sleeved shirt and put his shirt on as pajamas, and he was immediately at his wit's end.

Although he and Eri Kisaki had a relationship, they never made it public and always kept it secret.

But if the two of them sleep together tonight and Reiko sees them tomorrow morning, then there will be a huge uproar.

"Oh right, Kogoro wanted to see me about something," Lin Xiuyi quickly made up an excuse, "I'm going to see him now!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out the door.

In the bedroom, Eri Kisaki watched Lin Xiuyi's retreating figure and stomped her foot in annoyance.

She insisted on staying overnight at Lin Xiuyi's place tonight, hoping to force him to make their relationship public.

Then we'll see if those vixens will have the nerve to keep bothering us!

Who knew this guy would actually run away!
You heartless bastard!

Frustrated, Eri Kisaki threw herself onto Hideaki's bed and angrily punched his pillow.
"If you're so capable, don't come back all night!"

……

On the third floor, Kogoro Mouri, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake by the doorbell. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and groggily opened the door.

"Who is it, so late... Shuichi? What brings you here?"

I'll sleep here tonight.

As Lin Xiuyi spoke, he pushed past his good friend and went into the house on his own.
"I'll sleep on the sofa, just get me a blanket."

"Hey," Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened, "why don't you go home?"

“Didn’t you say last night that you were lonely sleeping alone?” Lin Xiuyi replied righteously, “So I came to keep you company. We’re good brothers, so I have to help you with this.”

"How can you be so kind?"

Kogoro Mouri clearly didn't believe him, so he rummaged through the bedroom and pulled out an old blanket and a crumpled pillow, throwing them at him.
"Something must have happened! Could it be because of that kiss with Tomizawa Chikage at the mall today that Reiko is angry and won't let you in the house?"

"Much scarier than Reiko."

Lin Xiuyi took the blanket, muttered something under his breath, and quickly changed the subject, afraid of being questioned by Kogoro Mouri.
"By the way, the TV in the living room is still warm. Were you watching TV just now? What were you watching? Let's watch it again together, I can't sleep anyway."

As he spoke, he picked up the videotape on the table, and his lips twitched slightly when he saw the cover.

The videotape cover featured a scantily clad woman in an ambiguous pose; it was clearly not a respectable film.

"Your aunt isn't home, and you really dare to look at anything..."

"What are you pretending to be so serious for!"

Kogoro Mouri raised an eyebrow, a lewd smile on his face.
"I borrowed this from a classmate in the baseball club. The female lead is not only beautiful, but also has a great figure! If you miss it, you'll never see it again."

Lin Xiuyi, who hadn't yet entered "wise man mode," coughed and handed the videotape to Mouri Kogoro: "Play it. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well watch it."

……

the next morning.

Lingzi got up groggily, went to the toilet, and was about to go back to her room for a nap when she saw that her brother's bedroom door was open.

Thinking that Lin Xiuyi hadn't returned last night, the little girl immediately walked towards her brother's bedroom.

"Onii-chan?"

Lingzi stood at the door and saw that the blanket on the bed was raised, indicating that Lin Xiuyi was still fast asleep.

The little girl grinned mischievously, then went to the foot of the bed, kicked off her slippers, and crawled under the covers. But halfway down, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Onii-chan doesn't have hair that long, and the scent on him is wrong too!

Lingzi quickly threw off the blanket.

The next second, the little girl's eyes widened!
The person lying on the bed wasn't Hayashi Xiuyi, but Kisaki Eri!
The girl was wearing Lin Xiuyi's loose shirt, her hair was scattered on the pillow, she was sleeping soundly, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

"You—how could you be in Onii-chan's bed!" Reiko's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, shock, and a hint of anger.

"...It's so cold!" Eri shivered and groggily opened her eyes. "Is it already daylight?"

"Hey, answer my question," Reiko shook the other person angrily, "Why are you here!"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question?"

Eri glared at him, her tone languid from just waking up.

"Why are you barging into Shuichi's bedroom so early in the morning?" (End of Chapter)
