Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 231 You are really experienced in dealing with girls!

"Really?" Kisaki Eri's eyes lit up and she quickly looked down to check. Every time she and Lin Xiuyi were intimate, he would always say that if he rubbed it more it would get bigger. Could it really be that it worked?

"...Of course it's fake!" Lingzi stuck out her tongue mischievously, her eyes curved into crescents, her face filled with a smile of success, and she even made a cute face.

soy Mujer!
Fei Yingli was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted to teach the little girl a lesson, but she was worried that Lin Xiuyi was right next to her and it would damage her image if he saw her.

While she was still hesitating, Reiko over there had already widened her eyes exaggeratedly, her body trembling slightly, and she shouted loudly with fear on her face: "Onii-chan, why is Sister Eri angry again? It's so scary!"

You little bastard, you’re the first to complain again!

Kisaki Eri clenched her fists, wishing she could rush forward and give the troublemaker a couple of hits.

"Really?" Lin Xiuyi, who was standing behind the kitchen counter, turned to look at Kisaki Eri. The girl quickly forced a stiff smile and said, "I'm not angry. It was Reiko who made a mistake."

Lin Xiuyi glared at his sister angrily: "Stop it, even if Yingli got angry, it must be you who provoked her first!"

Now it was Hibari Eri's turn to be proud. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she looked at Reiko proudly and snorted.

But the next moment, the little cousin blinked her eyes and said innocently, "I made Sister Eri angry for her own good. Onii-chan, didn't you say before that being angry can make your chest bigger?"

How could Kisaki Eri not hear the little girl's sarcasm? Unable to hold back any longer, she rushed over and was about to teach her little cousin a lesson: "Stinky girl, wait and see how I teach you a lesson!"

Reiko screamed and ran to the kitchen counter to seek shelter from her brother: "Onii-chan, help me!"

Just as the three were playing around, the door of the izakaya was suddenly pushed open with a creaky sound, and then Kogoro Mouri walked in dejectedly, covering the right half of his face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuyi looked surprised. "Aren't you going on a date with Liuli?"

"I, I seem to have made her angry," Kogoro Mouri laughed dryly and put down his right hand that was covering his face.

Only then did everyone see clearly that there was a clear red slap mark on the right half of his face.

"Wow, Kogoro, you're so stupid! Did you get beaten by Sister Liuli?" Lingzi opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief. "Sister Liuli has such a good temper, how did you make her angry?"

"You must have done something stupid again to make Liuli so angry that she beat you up!" Kisaki Eri crossed her arms across her chest with a look of disgust on her face.

"This..." Kogoro Mouri looked embarrassed and stammered for a long time, not daring to say it out loud.

"Eri, take Reiko upstairs for a while," Lin Xiuyi knew that this guy was very concerned about his reputation and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the girls.

"Let's go!" Fei Yingli grabbed her little cousin by the collar, "Let's get close to each other as sisters!"

"Onii-chan, help!" Reiko struggled desperately, but still couldn't escape the clutches of Kisaki Eri, and was dragged out of the izakaya by her.

As soon as the two girls walked out the door, Kisaki Eri looked down at the little girl in her arms. The big and small looked at each other for a moment, as if they had reached some agreement.

Then Kisaki Eri let go of Reiko, and they both put their ears to the gap in the door, their expressions focused, afraid of missing any word.

……

"They have left. Can you tell me now?" Lin Xiuyi poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"It's nothing, actually," Maori Kogoro gulped down a mouthful of water, "When I saw you and Eri progressing so quickly this morning, I wondered if Ruri and I were progressing too slowly..."

"And then you kissed her?" Lin Xiuyi frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubt. "If that's the case, she probably won't hit you. After all, Liuli has liked you for so long."

"When I kissed her, I couldn't help myself..." Maori Kogoro smiled awkwardly and used his hands to make a kneading motion, "and then Liuli slapped me."

When Lin Xiu heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

At the same time, the two girls who were hiding at the gate and eavesdropping also laughed at the same time.

"You, you didn't leave!" Kogoro Mouri's face flushed, his face full of surprise and embarrassment.

"Ruri is my good sister," Kiyori pushed open the door and walked in, "Of course I want to hear how you made her angry!"

"Kogoro Nissan, you're terrible!" Lingzi's face was full of contempt, "Pervert!"

"I..." Maori Kogoro smiled bitterly and turned to look at his friend, "Shuiyi, do you think Ruri is really angry with me?"

"I'm not a woman, how would I know?" Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment, "Did she say anything after she hit you?"

"Ruri seemed to be frightened too," Maori Kogoro recalled. "She apologized to me with a red face and ran away on her own."

"You didn't chase her?" Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise.

"Isn't she angry?" Maori Kogoro asked in confusion. "Won't she be even angrier if I chase her?"

"Idiot!" Hibari rolled her eyes at him, a look of frustration and disappointment in her eyes. "Since Liuli apologized, it means she didn't really hit you! Just chase her and say a few nice words, and it will be over, right?"

"Eh? Is, is that so?" Maori Kogoro finally reacted, "But she's already gone back. Even if I go after her now, I definitely won't be able to catch up..."

"If you can't catch up with the person, can't you make a phone call?" Lin Xiuyi shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, there's also a phone call!" Maori Kogoro nodded quickly, "I'll call her when she gets home!"

"Go now!" Lin Xiuyi said unhappily, "It's best to call her more than ten times before she gets home. That way, when she gets home and sees you calling so many times, she'll definitely be touched and feel that you care about her..."

"That's right! Shuichi, you have more experience!" Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized and hurried to his home on the third floor.

Although the izakaya has a phone, it is used to take orders from customers and for delivery, so he naturally cannot occupy it.

After seeing off Kogoro Mouri, Hayashi Shuichi just breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that Kisaki Eri and Reiko had suspicious expressions on their faces and were staring at him.

"What?" Lin Xiuyi touched his face in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"

"You're really experienced in dealing with girls!" Hibari frowned, as if deep in thought. "Have you ever used this kind of trick to deal with me? I've always been like, sometimes I'm really mad at you, but it gets over with me pretty quickly..."

"It's a misunderstanding!" Lin Xiuyi complained quickly, "We grew up together. Don't you know whether I'm good at dealing with girls or not?"

"I think you're just pretending not to be good at it," Reiko snorted, putting her hands on her hips. "If you weren't good at it, Sister Eri and Sister Yukiko wouldn't be pestering you!" Lin Xiuyi was speechless. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute. After a moment, he said, "If Yukiko really wanted to pester me, she wouldn't have gone to Takasaki to film!"

At the door of the izakaya, Fujimine Yukiko was raising her hand to push the door open when she happened to hear what Hayashi Shuichi said.

Her hand stopped in mid-air, and a hint of worry flashed in her bright eyes.

The girl thought Lin Xiuyi was angry because of her leaving, and she felt a little flustered. For a moment, she didn't dare to go in. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left the izakaya.

The three people in the izakaya didn't notice the movement at the door.

Kisaki Eiri glanced at her childhood sweetheart and said with a half-smile, "Reiko, you're right. It turns out you've been pretending all these years!"

It’s really impossible to reason with women... They each have two mouths, how can a man win the argument!
Lin Xiuyi covered his face helplessly: "Oh, I'm still missing one ingredient for dinner, I'll go get it now!"

Having said that, he quickly turned around and hid in the storage room.

Looking at Lin Xiuyi's fleeing back, Kisaki Eri and Reiko smiled at each other, but then they both realized something was wrong and snorted at the same time, with a hint of arrogance on their faces.

"You..." Just as Hibiki Eri started to speak, Reiko spoke first, "Why are you imitating me?"

Fei Yingli was so angry that she choked for a moment. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "...I won't bother with you!"

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the cashier.

Humph, I win!

Reiko stood there alone, hands on her hips, a smug smile on her face, eyes shining, as if declaring her victory.

……

In the evening, the izakaya is open as usual.

Ever since Yukiko went to film, the store has been short of staff, but it could still cope in the past. Today, it is completely in a staffing crisis.

"Onii-chan, this is the list for table number three, and these are the dishes that have just been cleared..." Reiko shuttled between the dining tables, her steps hurried, a hint of anxiety on her face, and handed the things in her hand to Lin Xiuyi.

Kisaki Eri also came over with several plates: "Xuyi, grill the skewers for table six a little better, table seven..."

"Wait, wait..." Lin Xiu's head was as big as a bucket, and beads of sweat were all over his forehead. "Where's Kogoro? Why hasn't he come down yet?"

"I just went up to look for him," Hibiki Eiri said angrily, "that guy is still on the phone with Liuli. Aunt Maori said he's been talking for over two hours."

"That idiot!" Lin Xiu said angrily, "How can a woman be more important than work..."

Before he could finish his words, seeing Kisaki Eri's glaring eyes, he quickly changed his words: "Work is not as important as women. Kogoro and Ruri have finally come together, so let them continue chatting."

"Onii-chan," Reiko put down what she was holding and said with a puzzled look, "There seems to be something wrong with the guest at table two?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiu looked up.

Table number two was by the window, quite far from the cooking counter. He only saw a fashionable woman wearing sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and a light yellow long skirt.

"We're already in the restaurant, and she still refuses to take off her hat and sunglasses," Lingzi whispered. "Just now, when I asked her what she wanted to eat, she didn't say anything. She just held up the menu and pointed at each item. Whenever she had a question, she wrote on the table with her finger."

"That woman is indeed problematic," Hibiki Eri nodded in agreement. "Ever since she entered the store, she's been looking around and often staring at me..."

"Could it be someone from one of the other izakayas on the commercial street?" Lingzi said with a wild imagination, "Are they jealous of our good business and sent someone here to gather intelligence?"

"Before Yukiko left, business was indeed good every night," Lin Xiuyi said unhappily, "but the number of customers has dropped by one-third in the past few days. They're too busy gloating to be jealous."

"So she's really deaf and dumb?" Lingzi's eyes flashed with sympathy, and her voice softened. "If that's the case, it's too pitiful."

"Let me see what she ordered," Lin Xiuyi picked up the menu for table number two and glanced at it. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him, "It's really strange. How about this, I'll go over and take a look myself."

"Hey, you still have several orders to complete?" asked Hibiki Eri in surprise.

"Don't worry, it won't take long," Lin Xiuyi waved his hand, walked out of the counter, and came to table number two. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but we can't make Kiryu belt udon at the moment. Could you please change to something else?"

The woman did the same thing as Lingzi had said. Without saying anything, she wrote on the table with her finger: "Why not? This should be easy, right?"

"The dish was made by our restaurant's female chef, but she's not here at the moment," Lin Xiuyi said, pretending to pour water for the woman. He bent down slightly and went to her side to sniff lightly. A familiar fragrance immediately rushed into his nose!

Yukiko? What's this girl up to?

Lin Xiuyi immediately confirmed the other party's identity. A hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, and he was still thinking about the other party's purpose.

The disguised Yukiko wrote on the table again: "It seems that she is very important to you!"

Even through the large sunglasses, Lin Xiuyi could imagine Yukiko's smug eyes and what she was thinking at the moment.

Humph, without me, the izakaya business is really going to fail!

He was right. This was exactly what Yukiko thought.

When she came in the afternoon, she heard Lin Xiuyi say something at the door, which made her mistakenly think that Lin Xiuyi was angry. She did not dare to go in immediately, but went home to change her clothes and wanted to find out the situation in the store first.

After sitting in the store for a while, Yukiko discovered that the number of customers in the izakaya was obviously much less than when she was there.

Moreover, Lin Xiuyi didn't know how to cook the dishes she added to the menu, which made her feel proud.

Yukiko was about to take off her sunglasses to surprise Lin Xiuyi when he suddenly said, "Who said that female chef is important? She's just a kitchen helper in our restaurant. With her or without her, the izakaya will still be open for business."

Yukiko's hand, which had already been placed on her sunglasses, suddenly froze. Why, why was it different from what she expected?

Lin Xiuyi continued with a stern face, "You haven't seen this guest before. That female chef is lazy and stupid. There are some dishes that I've taught her several times, but she still can't learn. She only knows how to show off all day..."
