Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

"I don't believe it!"

Eri Kisaki couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly covered her mouth, trying to appear serious.

"You came in just to apologize? You're kidding me!"

"Really! It's really just an apology!"

Lin Xiuyi quickly pointed to the sky and swore an oath, even though the people inside the gate certainly couldn't see it.

"I admit I was wrong last night; I neglected your feelings. Open the door, let's talk this out. Face-to-face communication is the only way to solve problems, right?"

"But I don't want to talk to you now,"

Eri Kisaki lay on the bed and stretched comfortably.

"I want to sleep a little longer, don't disturb me."

"Yingli..."

"Eri, my darling?"

"Honey?"

"My dear wife?"

……

Lin Xiuyi used every possible term of endearment and uttered a whole host of sweet words, practically using every flattering phrase he could think of in his life to please a woman.

However, apart from the occasional faint sound of Eri Kisaki humming, there was no other response from the bedroom.

No matter how much he pleaded, the girl inside wouldn't open the door.

……

An hour later, Lin Xiuyi was almost in despair.

He leaned against the bedroom door, his face long and crestfallen.

The restlessness in my body gradually subsided during the long wait, replaced by a deep weariness and... a sage-like detachment.

Lin Xiuyi even began to ponder the origin of the universe and the meaning of life.

Just when he had completely given up and was about to resign himself to going to the bathroom one last time to use the Fifth Madam to relieve himself...

"Click."

A soft, heavenly sound, like the turning of a door lock, came from behind.

Lin Xiuyi shuddered and instantly felt fully revitalized! All fatigue and philosophical thoughts were thrown to the winds!

He turned around abruptly, a flame of hope rekindled in his eyes!

The door finally opened!
"Eri!"

Lin Xiuyi excitedly pushed open the door and, without saying a word, rushed forward to pick up Fei Yingli around the waist, babbling incoherently.
"I was wrong last night! We can deal with things another time... no, let's start talking about the future now... uh, no, I mean..."

Before he could finish speaking, and before he could even fully lift the girl up, the doorbell of the apartment building rang crisply and urgently.

"Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The sound was like a death knell, instantly shattering the enchanting atmosphere that had just begun to rise in the room.

Lin Xiuyi's body stiffened, an indescribable sense of frustration and anger rising to the top of his head.

Who is it?!

He turned around angrily and yelled at the door.

"Who else could it be?"

Eri Kisaki revealed a mischievous smile that she had already anticipated.

She gently broke free from Lin Xiuyi's embrace, glanced downwards meaningfully, and said in a light tone,
"Of course it's your dear little sister Lingzi. She's back after buying steamed buns."

The girl paused, her smile deepening. "Are you sure... you want to open the door for Reiko like this? You don't want your cute little sister to see you looking like this... um... 'full of fighting spirit,' do you?"

Lin Xiuyi looked down following her gaze and immediately blushed.

Although an hour had passed, the hope brought by opening the door had rekindled his excitement.

"You...you must have done this on purpose!"

By this point, how could Lin Xiuyi not understand?

All of this was a "punishment" meticulously planned by Eri Kisaki!
The goal was to make him see but not be able to eat, to make him oscillate between hope and despair, and suffer greatly!

“Go quickly, ‘good brother’,”

Eri Kisaki suppressed a laugh and deliberately urged him in a sweet, cloying voice.

"Don't keep Reiko waiting."

Lin Xiuyi was filled with grief and indignation, but there was nothing she could do. She could only glare fiercely at the cunning woman, and then, before Lingzi could ring the doorbell again, she hurriedly squeezed her legs together and, in an extremely awkward posture, rushed into the bathroom again, slamming the door shut.

"boom!"

Hearing the bathroom door slam shut, Eri Kisaki finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears almost welled up in her eyes.

You left me behind last night!
Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!

Eri Kisaki was in a great mood. She straightened her clothes to make sure that her appearance would not arouse Reiko's suspicion before opening the door.

Lingzi walked in, holding Wangcai's hand in one hand and carrying steaming hot meat buns in the other.

She looked around but didn't see Lin Xiuyi.
"Where's Onii-chan?"

“Shuichi,” Eri Kisaki said, barely suppressing a laugh, “he went to the bathroom again.”

"Why are you running to the bathroom again?" Reiko frowned and said worriedly, "Is Onii-chan really sick?"

Eri Kisaki didn't answer, but turned around and gave a meaningful smile towards the direction of the bathroom.

At this moment, Lin Xiuyi, behind the door, was leaning against the wall in despair, pondering how to get through this long and agonizing morning.

A face of unfulfilled desire was reflected in the bathroom mirror.

Lin Xiu turned on the tap and let the cold water flow, but hesitated to reach out.

His thoughts drifted back to last night, the night Kogoro Mouri dragged him to see an "art film".

If he had known he would face such a test today, he would never have accepted that lecherous old man's invitation.

"He only got what he deserved..."

Lin Xiuyi muttered to himself, but the image of Eri Kisaki from just moments ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind: her soaked white shirt clinging to her skin, milk slowly sliding down her slender neck, and those eyes filled with a sly smile…

"Damn it!"

Lin Xiuyi shook her head violently, trying to dispel these erotic images.

He had to find a way to reverse this passive situation, otherwise he would probably be led by the nose by Eri Kisaki in the future.

Outside the door, Lingzi had already placed the meat buns on the dining table and was squatting on the ground unhooking Wangcai's collar.

The silly dog ​​wagged its tail excitedly and circled around its owner's feet.

"Is Onii-chan really alright?" Reiko was still worried and looked towards the bathroom.

Eri picked up a meat bun, took a small bite, and a little bit of oil clung to her lips.

She deliberately raised her voice to make sure the people in the bathroom could hear her: "Maybe they ate something bad? After all, who knows what kind of unclean things they saw last night!"

Upon hearing this in the bathroom, Lin Xiuyi almost bit her tongue. Women's vengefulness is too strong!
He took a deep breath and decided to change his strategy.

Since the soft approach isn't working, we'll have to resort to the hard approach!
Of course, not that kind of hard.

Lin Xiuyi straightened her clothes, making sure there were no embarrassing marks, then calmly pushed open the bathroom door... (End of Chapter)
