Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Seeing Lin Xiuyi bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Yukiko blinked, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

This is a rare opportunity to "take advantage" of him, so we can't let him go so easily!
The girl immediately suppressed her hurt expression, put her hands on her hips, and deliberately pretended to be angry.
"You think it's that easy for me to forgive you? It's not like you ate that kind of thing, so of course you think it's no big deal!"

Even a tiger won't eat its cubs...

Just as Lin Xiuyi was about to reply, he looked up and met Yukiko's glaring eyes.

His eyes were full of warning, "Try mentioning it again," so he quickly changed his tune and tactfully changed the subject.

"Then tell me, how can you forgive me? Anything I can do, I will."

"When did I say I was going to forgive you?"

Yukiko snorted, deliberately teasing him.

She just wanted to see how much Lin Xiuyi cared about her feelings.

"Really?"

Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow and instantly saw through the girl's little trick.

He shrugged helplessly, turned around and walked slowly toward the bedroom, showing no sign of urgency.

"Hey, you... you're just leaving like that?"

Yukiko was taken aback that he was actually leaving, and panicked. She quickly took a few steps forward, her tone full of annoyance.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll stay angry and never talk to you again?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Xiu turned her head. "You've already said you won't forgive me, so why should I beg you?"

"What if I say something wrong again? Wouldn't that make you even angrier? You might as well go back and get some more sleep. Maybe once you calm down, the matter will be over."

After saying that, he ignored Heiko and went into the bedroom by himself. He plopped down on the bed with a "thump" and deliberately turned over, facing away from the door, as if to say, "I really want to sleep."

The bed still carried the faint scent of Eri Kisaki's previous sleep. Lin Xiuyi closed his eyes, silently counting in his mind: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five…

Before they could even count to four, the bedroom door was slammed open, followed by Yukiko's angry voice.
"Don't sleep! Get up!"

Lin Xiuyi, who was lying on the bed, smiled faintly, then pretended to be woken up and innocently got up.
"What is it now? I was just about to fall asleep."

"you……"

Yukiko stared at him, her anger subsiding when she saw his innocent expression.

Remembering the grievances she had suffered that morning, and seeing Lin Xiuyi's seemingly indifferent attitude, her eyes immediately reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"All you do is bully me! You did that to me, and instead of apologizing, you just want to sleep. You don't care about my feelings at all!"

"Young Miss, didn't I already apologize sincerely?"

Lin Xiuyi quickly sat up, her innocent expression turning into helplessness.

"Besides, didn't you say you wouldn't forgive me? I was thinking of not bothering you and waiting until you calmed down before we talked. If I keep standing there and bothering you, what if I make you angry again? Wouldn't that be even worse?"

"I'm even angrier now that you've turned and left!"

Yukiko walked angrily to the bedside, sat down, and crossed her arms.

"I can forgive you, but you must agree to three conditions! If you agree, I won't be angry anymore."

Three conditions?

Lin Xiuyi touched his chin, feeling that these words sounded familiar.

By the way, the last person to say that was Akane Koizumi!

"Will you say yes or no?" Yukiko, seeing that Hayashi Shuichi was still lost in thought, tugged at his arm and gently shook it, her tone softening and becoming somewhat coquettish.

"Just say yes, it's not a difficult thing."

Lin Xiuyi was always one to respond better to gentle persuasion than force, and given that she was indeed in the wrong regarding the morning's events, she nodded.

"I can agree to that, but the conditions can't be too unreasonable."

When Yukiko heard him agree, her eyes lit up instantly, and her previous grievances and anger vanished.

She pouted, somewhat dissatisfied with the restriction of "not going too far," but still immediately spoke up.

"My first condition is that you went to summer camp in the US with the girl with glasses before, and I want to go too! Just the two of us, let's go abroad together once."

"Where?"

Lin Xiu looked surprised; he hadn't expected Yukiko's first condition to be this.

"If you want to travel abroad, you need to plan ahead, and you may have to wait for a while."

"I know, I didn't say I'd go now."

Yukiko gently tapped her chin with her finger, her eyes full of anticipation.
"I just want to go abroad with you, go shopping, and see the sights... You've already been to America with Glasses Girl, you can't be biased!"

Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Lin Xiu's heart softened instantly.
"Okay, I promise you! Once we're done with this busy period, we'll plan together. We can go wherever we want, and I'll cover the expenses."

"Great!"

Yukiko clapped her hands excitedly, then her smile faded as she continued,
"The second condition is that if Eri and I argue in the future, you must help me! You can't take her side or pretend you don't see it."

"This……"

Lin Xiu blinked, suddenly feeling troubled.

Eri Kisaki and Yukiko seem to be inherently incompatible, often arguing over trivial matters.

If I side with Yukiko, Eri will definitely be angry.

But if she didn't agree, Yukiko wouldn't forgive herself.

He had a sudden inspiration and pretended not to have heard clearly.
"What did you say? I don't think I heard you clearly. Could you say it again?"

"I said, Eri and I had a fight, and you have to help me!"

Yukiko raised her voice, speaking each word carefully, as if afraid he might "not hear her" again.

"Strange, what's wrong with my ears? I can't hear anything all of a sudden."

Lin Xiuyi jumped off the bed with a blank expression, and made as if to walk towards the door.
"I'll go get an ear pick and clean my ears; maybe that will fix it..."

Yukiko was so angry that she gritted her teeth as she watched his back, which was obviously pretending to be innocent.

The girl bit her lip and reluctantly gave in.
"You can refuse this, but you're not allowed to side with her in the future! When we argue, you have to remain neutral and not speak on her behalf!"

"Deal!" Lin Xiuyi immediately stopped in his tracks. "I guarantee that if you two ever argue again, I will remain absolutely neutral and will not take sides."

"Didn't you say you couldn't hear me?" Yukiko scoffed. "How come you can hear me now?"

"That shows you have the talent of a miracle doctor!" Lin Xiuyi walked back to the bedside and sat down with a smile, her tone teasing. "You cured my 'deafness' with just one sentence, you're even more amazing than a doctor."

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!" Yukiko curled her lip. "My third condition is that if I attend any film events in the future, such as press conferences or premieres, you have to come with me. You can't refuse; you absolutely have to go with me." (End of Chapter)
