Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 570 Today is not auspicious...

"I am fine."

Lin Xiuyi tried her best to make her voice sound calm and natural, even deliberately adding a faint, weak vibrato at the end of each note.

"I just have a bit of indigestion."

He subtly placed one hand on his upper abdomen, his brows slightly furrowed, perfectly portraying the image of someone pretending to be fine despite slight discomfort.

Sure enough, upon seeing this, Lingzi immediately ran over and took her brother's arm with concern.
"Onii-chan, should we go to the hospital to get checked out? Or should I go buy you some medicine?"

Seeing her sister's sincere worry, Lin Xiuyi felt a pang of guilt, but it was quickly replaced by another thought.

He patted Lingzi's head and said gently, "No need for all that trouble. But since you care so much about your brother, could you do me another favor?"

Eri Kisaki raised her head alertly, sensing a hint of conspiracy.

Caught off guard and completely absorbed in her sense of mission to "help her brother," Lingzi blinked her big eyes and asked, "What kind of help?"

Lin Xiuyi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and his gaze drifted lightly to Fei Yingli, briefly clashing with her scrutinizing eyes in the air.

He smiled slightly, as if it were just a casual remark: "I suddenly have a craving for dorayaki from the pastry shop next to the department store."

That shop is at least a 10-minute walk from here, and because the food is so delicious, it's very popular and there's usually a long queue to buy it.

Lingzi knew all this, and the little girl was clearly hesitant, but seeing her brother's "weak" appearance, she nodded: "Okay, I'll go now."

Eri Kisaki quickly stood up: "I'll go too."

“No need,” Lin Xiuyi quickly interrupted her. “Eri, you stay. I just wanted to discuss the trip to Osaka with you.”

Eri bit her lip, but for a moment she couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

Reiko looked at her brother, then at Eri, and though somewhat reluctant, picked up her wallet and headed for the door: "I'll be back as soon as possible, Wangcai, come with me."

"Wang!"

Wangcai wagged its tail happily and followed behind its little owner.

The door closed again, and the apartment returned to silence.

This time, however, the atmosphere was completely different from before.

Eri Kisaki unconsciously took a step back, a flicker of panic crossing her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Is there anything we need to discuss about the trip?"

Lin Xiuyi walked towards her unhurriedly, each step firm and powerful.

He didn't answer, but simply fixed his gaze on her, like a hunter eyeing its prey.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Eri Kisaki tried to remain calm, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.

The girl's legs were already pressed against the edge of the sofa, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Lin Xiuyi finally stopped in front of her, reaching out to gently stroke her cheek, his fingertips burning hot.
"Shouldn't we have a proper talk about your...performance just now?"

Eri swallowed hard, suddenly realizing she might have gone too far playing with fire.

But just as she was thinking about how to respond, Lin Xiuyi leaned down and whispered in her ear:

“The game is over, Eri. Now, it’s my turn.”

His voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable possessiveness.

Eri's heart raced uncontrollably, filled with both nervousness and anticipation.

However, the girl quickly shook her head.

I'm going to punish him, so how can I admit defeat so easily!
Thinking of this, she quickly tried to escape towards the door.

But before he could even move, Lin Xiuyi grabbed him by the waist and lifted him up.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made the girl gasp and instinctively wrap her arms around the other person's neck.

"Put me down!" Eri Kisaki kicked and struggled, embarrassed and angry.

But this time, Lin Xiuyi wasn't about to let her have her way. He picked up the girl and headed for the bedroom. After placing Fei Yingli on the bed, Lin Xiuyi eagerly began to undress.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

When Fei Yingli realized that hard methods weren't working, she immediately switched to softer ones.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower first. I just woke up this morning and I'm still sweaty."

"Have it?"

Lin Xiuyi readily lowered his head, sniffed her neck deeply, and then smiled mockingly.
"I can only smell the aroma of milk, it's very sweet, perfect, I'm hungry too..."

Seeing that the other party was about to pounce on her, Eri Kisaki was annoyed but also somewhat expectant.

Never mind, I'll punish him next time!
Thinking of this, the girl's body went limp, bracing herself for the storm.

Unexpectedly, the sharp, piercing doorbell rang out like a bucket of ice water, abruptly shattering the enchanting atmosphere of the room.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong ding-dong..."

"Which bastard is it again!" Lin Xiuyi angrily punched the bed. "Never mind, let's continue!"

With that, he kissed Eri Kisaki.

But the visitors outside were incredibly patient, ringing the doorbell one after another.

"Go, go open the door,"

Eri, distracted by the ringing bell, blushed and nudged her childhood friend's chest.
"What if something urgent comes up?"

"Nothing is more important than you right now," Lin Xiuyi said through gritted teeth.

The possessiveness in those words made Eri's heart flutter, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.

Nevertheless, the persistent doorbell served as a death knell for the two.

The girl suppressed her physical agitation and pushed him away with more force: "Go quickly, I... I'll wait for you in bed..."

"Really?" Lin Xiuyi looked at her suspiciously. "You're not going to lock me out for half a day like before, are you?"

“Not this time,” Eri Kisaki said with a grin, giving Hideaki Hayashi a light kiss on the cheek. “Hurry up and go.”

Frustrated, Lin Xiuyi jumped off the bed and was about to leave.

Eri suddenly called out to him, blushing as she pointed downwards.

Lin Xiu glanced down, then sighed.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through all this today, brother."

After saying that, he took a coat from the closet, tied it around his waist to cover himself up, and then walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.

Standing outside was none other than Yui Murakami?
Why is she here?

Should I open the door? Or pretend I'm not home?

Just as Lin Xiuyi was hesitating whether to open the door for his teacher, Mouri Kogoro, who was awakened by the doorbell on the third floor, came downstairs looking annoyed.
"Which bastard keeps pressing...Murakami-sensei?"

"Just woke up?"

Yui Murakami glared at the student, clearly annoyed.
"Even on holidays, you should maintain the good habit of going to bed early and waking up early! Don't stay up late..."

“…Oh,” Kogoro Mori quickly nodded with a forced laugh.

"By the way," Murakami Yui asked疑惑地, "Where's Hayashi Shuichi? Isn't he home?"

“He should be there,” Kogoro Mouri scratched his head. “He just went back.”

"Really?"

Yui Murakami snorted, turned her head sharply, and stared at the peephole in the doorway.

Lin Xiuyi, who had been peering through the peephole to check for any activity outside, was startled by her teacher's sudden action and involuntarily took a step back...
