Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 174 Yukiko: You have so many childhood sweethearts!

Lingzi was still sick after all. After making a fuss for a while, Lin Xiuyi fed her some cold medicine and then fell asleep.

After covering his sister with a blanket, Lin Xiuyi took the bowl and went downstairs with Kisaki Eri.

"You really take care of her meticulously," said Hibiki Eri with a straight face, "You dote on that little girl too much."

"Lingzi is still young," Lin Xiuyi said helplessly, "and she's sick again. I can't just abandon her."

"When I was younger, you weren't so attentive..." Hibiki Eri muttered indignantly.

"What did you say?"

Lin Xiuyi, who had already reached the door of the izakaya, looked back in surprise.

"Nothing!" Fei Yingli snorted.

Lin Xiuyi looked at her with amusement, turned around and was about to walk into the izakaya, but a figure rushed out from inside and bumped into Lin Xiuyi.

Caught off guard, the bowl in Lin Xiuyi's hand flew out.

Kisaki Eri next to her quickly reached out to take it.

After finally grabbing the bowl before it hit the ground, Kisaki Eri just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked up at Lin Xiuyi, she immediately gritted her teeth again.

The person who ran out of the izakaya was Yukiko Fujimine. She bumped into someone with the ball and happened to fall into Lin Xiuyi's arms.

The girl ignored Kiyori and jumped up excitedly while holding Lin Xiuyi.

"Xuyi, the crew just called to let me know that I passed the audition!"

Yukiko Fujimine was only slightly shorter than Hideichi Hayashi, and the two of them hugged each other again. She jumped around, and Hideichi Hayashi was forced to try the facial cleanser.

"You two~ have hugged~ enough~ already!" Kisaki Eri's cold voice sounded from behind, and every word seemed to contain ice chips.

Lin Xiuyi quickly let go of the girl in his arms. Fujimine Yukiko, who was in high spirits, didn't care and turned around to give Kisaki Eri a bear hug.
"Girl with glasses, I passed the audition!"

The sudden hug made Hibiki Eri's body stiffen instantly, her eyes widened, and she froze in place. This was the first time the two girls had such close contact.

"Y-Really? Congratulations then."

"Hehe," Fujimine Yukiko proudly raised her chin, clenched her fists and raised them in front of her chest, looking very proud. "I passed the audition on my first try. It seems that the day when I become an international star is not far away!"

"Let's talk about this after you've finished the movie in front of you," Kisaki Eri couldn't help but pour cold water on the girl. "Don't wait until the movie is released and gets a lot of bad reviews. By then, your dream of becoming a star might be over too."

"Tsk, on such a happy day, can't you stop saying these spoiling things?" Yukiko Fujimine pouted in frustration.

The three of them walked into the izakaya. Yukiko Fujimine smelled the aroma of the fruit porridge and couldn't help but pick up the spoon and scoop herself a bowl.
"By the way, where are the little girl and Kogoro? Why don't we see them?"

"Reiko is sick, and Kogoro is out on a date." Lin Xiuyi scooped a bowl of porridge for Kisaki Eri as well.

"Are you sick? Is it serious?" Yukiko Fujimine asked with concern.

"It's just a minor cold, and a slight fever," Kisaki Eri hummed, "but if you sleep in Shuichi's room, I'm sure you'll feel better by the afternoon."

"Can Shuichi's room also heal illnesses?" Fujimine Yukiko looked up in confusion.

"Are you an idiot?" Hibiki Eri said angrily, "That little girl took advantage of her illness to stay in Shuichi's bed!"

"What's the big deal?" Fujimine Yukiko shook her head indifferently, "Reiko is just a child." Well said!
Lin Xiuyi secretly gave the girl a thumbs up.

Kisaki Eri rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to this careless rival.

"By the way, who is Kogoro's date?" Fujimine Yukiko asked curiously, "A girl from our class, or someone from school?"

"Doigaki Ruri, the three of us were former classmates," Kisaki Eri answered while gently stirring the fruit porridge in the bowl.

"I remember hearing you guys talk about it before," Fujimine Yukiko tilted her head and tapped her chin with her index finger, "It seems like another childhood sweetheart, right?"

"Well, we met in kindergarten," Lin Xiuyi said with a smile, "We went to the same elementary school and junior high school. We didn't separate until she moved away from Tokyo in high school."

"You have so many childhood sweethearts..." Fujimine Yukiko curled her lips, obviously feeling a little jealous.

"Ruri has loved Kogoro since she was a child," Kisaki Eri glanced at the girl, "She even confessed her love to Kogoro when she graduated from junior high school."

"It's a pity that he was rejected by that idiot," Lin Xiuyi said thankfully, "Fortunately, he came to his senses early and secretly called Liuli yesterday while we were away."

"Then her taste is not that good. She actually falls in love with Kogoro," Fujimine Yukiko commented with some relief and a little amusement.

Kisaki Eri snorted unhappily and was about to defend her friend when she saw the door of the izakaya was pushed open and a fashionable girl wearing a white wide-brimmed hat and a sky blue long skirt walked in.

"Sorry, the store is not open yet..." Hibiki Eri was halfway through her words when she saw the girl's face in front of her clearly. She was not a customer at all, but her good friend!

"Liu Li!"

Kisaki Eri strode forward and hugged the girl.
"You're not even wearing your glasses anymore? If I hadn't seen you without them before, I would have almost not recognized you."

"We just haven't seen each other for over two months," Doigaki Ruri chuckled, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."

"Hey, she's very beautiful," Fujimine Yukiko nudged Hayashi Shuichi subtly with her elbow. "Why did the girl with glasses tell me before that her friend doesn't like to dress up?"

"Liuli didn't really like to dress up before," Lin Xiuyi whispered. "She wore a ponytail every day and wore thick glasses. Like Eri, she was also a study freak."

"Hey, our handsome heartthrob, you're hiding there and saying bad things about me, but I can hear you."

Doigaki Ruri said something teasingly with a smile, then looked at Fujimine Yukiko who was standing next to Lin Xiuyi.

"Why don't you introduce me to the beautiful lady next to you?"

Lin Xiuyi introduced the two parties with a smile, then asked in confusion: "Liuli, didn't you go on a date with Kogoro? Why are you in the store?"

"We agreed to meet here, right?"

Doigaki Ruri was stunned. She looked around and didn't see Maori Kogoro. She was disappointed.
"Where's Kogoro?"

"That fool!"

Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri covered their faces at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Doigaki Ruri asked in surprise.

"Kogoro left home almost an hour ago," Lin Xiuyi glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. "I didn't expect that he could even get the meeting place wrong..."
