Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 235 Yukiko: What stories do you usually tell your sister?

"Huh?" Lingzi tilted her head in confusion, her dark eyes full of confusion. When did a lump grow on Onii-chan's body?
Yukiko, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly felt someone touching her. Her body subconsciously tensed and she was immediately awakened.

"Lin Xiuyi, you big pervert..."

The girl's voice was filled with anger. She threw back the quilt and sat up suddenly.

"what?"

"what?"

The two girls, one big and one small, looked at each other.

Lingzi's eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly open, revealing an incredible expression.

Yukiko's face turned red and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Yukiko? Why are you in Onii-chan's bedroom!" Reiko was stunned for a moment, and her surprised expression was instantly replaced by anger.

She put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving with anger, and asked angrily, "You're still wearing his pajamas?"

"I was just about to ask you!" Yukiko turned her head slightly, avoiding Reiko's gaze, "Why did you end up in his bed?"

The two girls stared at each other, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and confusion. After a moment, they shouted at the same time,
"Lin Xiuyi!"

"Onii-chan!"

Lin Xiu, who was doing radio gymnastics downstairs, felt a headache when she heard the two shouts and hurried upstairs.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw two girls staring at each other.

Yukiko crossed her arms over her chest, her face full of displeasure.

Reiko stood straight, her little face full of anger, her eyes fixed on Yukiko.

"What's wrong? Don't you two have a good relationship?" Lin Xiuyi's voice was cautious, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Onii-chan, why is she sleeping in your bed?" Reiko asked with a dark face, "Could it be that you two..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Lin Xiuyi quickly pointed at the blanket on the sofa, "Yukiko forgot to bring her key when she came back yesterday, so she couldn't go home, so she stayed here temporarily. She slept in the bedroom last night, and I slept on the sofa."

"Is that so?" Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief, and her originally tense body relaxed.

"Isn't it my turn to ask now?" Yukiko demanded with a straight face, "Why would this little girl run into your bed so early in the morning? Even if you're cousins, this isn't quite appropriate, is it?"

"What's inappropriate about that!" Lingzi said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it normal for a brother and sister to sleep together?"

"How can this be normal!" Yukiko glared, "You're not a child! A girl this old shouldn't be able to sleep with her brother!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lingzi bit her lip and retorted, "That's not the story Onii-chan told me before!"

"By the way, what do you want to eat this morning?" Lin Xiuyi forced a smile on his face and tried to change the subject, "I'll make it for you..."

"you shut up!"

Yukiko glared at him, her eyes full of warning, then she looked at her little cousin and asked, "What story did this guy tell you?"

"It's nothing," Reiko put her hands behind her back and swayed slightly, "It's just some stories about brother and sister love, like Kasugano Yuu and Kasugano Sora, Kousaka Kyousuke and Kousaka Kirino, Kurogiri Hana and Kurogiri Mikiya..."

"Lin Xiuyi, I finally understand why this little girl always likes to stick to you!" Yukiko gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You bastard, what kind of stories do you usually tell your sister?"

"I just said it casually," Lin Xiuyi waved his hand awkwardly, "Who knew Lingzi would take it seriously?"

"This has nothing to do with Onii-chan!" Reiko stood in front of her brother, looking at Yukiko firmly, "Onii-chan and I are not siblings, and mom and dad have always said that when we grow up, they want me and Onii-chan to get married!"

"I finally understand why this little girl can't get along with the girl with glasses," Yukiko suddenly realized.

Although she knew before that Lingzi loved to stick to Lin Xiuyi and would occasionally say some words that she liked Onii-chan, she thought it was just childish behavior. It was normal for a little girl who had not grown up yet to admire and like her brother.

But looking at Lingzi's current look, she actually wants to play for real!
Yukiko originally thought that her only love rival was Kisaki Eri, but now she discovered that there was actually such a little girl hiding!

"Hey, Lin Xiuyi!" The girl sneered, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery. "Are there other girls who like you? Tell me all at once, so I can be mentally prepared in case I find another rival one day!"

"How could there be more..." Lin Xiuyi laughed dryly.

Although Sharon's attitude is ambiguous, she should be considered a woman, not a girl, right?
"It would be great to have another one!" Yukiko sneered, "The four of us can just get together and play mahjong, so we won't be bored anymore."

"It's okay now, I'll accompany you..."

Lin Xiu responded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.
"Okay, why are you talking about this so early in the morning? What do you two want to eat? I'll make it for you, or you can go out and buy it. Lingzi, do you want some big meat buns?"

"Big meat bun..."

Reiko glanced at Yukiko's chest, then looked down at herself, a hint of envy and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She suddenly understood how Eri usually felt.

"Humph, such a small thing and still eating big meat buns," Yukiko's mouth curled up slightly, her eyes contemptuous, "I think you are not even worthy of eating xiaolongbao, just eat fried eggs."

"You!" Lingzi stamped her feet in anger, her face flushed red. "It's so big, it's bound to sag sooner or later."

"...You don't even have a chance to sag!" Yukiko replied proudly.

Lin Xiu glanced at the two people who were arguing with each other, and was too lazy to persuade them anymore. He turned around and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Breakfast was just ready on his side. Yukiko and Reiko were tired of arguing, so they sat down at the dining table together, eating while continuing to stare at each other.

Lin Xiuyi ignored them. After finishing his breakfast and clearing away his dishes, he went to the bedroom to change his clothes, picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Reiko quickly swallowed the fried egg and said, "Onii-chan, why did you leave so early today?"

"...I'll be back to the crew soon," Yukiko snorted, "Aren't you even going to see me off?"

"Aren't you guys always quarrelsome?" Lin Xiu opened the door expressionlessly. "Then keep quarreling. I'm going to Yingli's house now to go to school with her."

After saying that, he ignored the two girls' reactions and walked out the door.

"It happened!"

Seeing the door slam shut, Yukiko and Reiko exchanged a look, both looking flustered. They had been arguing so happily that they had forgotten their biggest enemy was the girl with glasses!
The former had only been away for a week, but Hayashi Shuichi and Kisaki Eri had made such great progress. If they had been away for any longer, wouldn't they have collapsed without a fight?
The latter is even more aware of the position of Kisaki Eri in his brother's heart, which is why he always treats her as a big enemy.

"Let's call a truce!" Yukiko suggested, "We can't let that girl with glasses get away with it!"

"agree!"

Lingzi nodded quickly, a hint of nervousness on her face.
"Onii-chan has always been soft-hearted and doesn't take hard words. If we keep arguing, he might really hate us."

……

After coming out of the Maori family's small building, Lin Xiuyi finally felt at peace without the quarreling girls in his ears.

As he had said when he left home, he walked towards Kisaki Eri's apartment.

When he walked near the commercial street, he met the bad girl from the flower shop, Orikasa Midori.

The girl had a high ponytail and was wearing a white sportswear.

Because she had just finished a morning run, her face was flushed, beads of sweat hung on her forehead, and her chest rose and fell violently with her breathing.

Lin Xiu took a glance and quickly looked away.

Ever since he had the little monk blessed by Hibiki Eri, he found that he seemed to have become much more lustful recently. Whenever he saw a beautiful girl, he would subconsciously look at her towering parts.

Thinking of this, his old face couldn't help but turn red. Women are really harmful!

"Senior, senior?" Seeing that Lin Xiuyi didn't say anything and seemed to be in a trance, Orikasa Midori couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah? Oh," Lin Xiuyi came back to his senses, a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Sorry, I just thought of something else."

"Senior, do you have any worries?" Orikasa Midori asked curiously, taking out a tissue and wiping the sweat from his forehead. "You're so smart, even if you have any worries, they should be easy to solve."

"Some things can't be solved by being smart or not," Lin Xiuyi looked at the girl's white neck exposed when she wiped the sweat, and for a moment, he couldn't take his eyes away.

"By the way, Senior," Orikasa Midori didn't notice his abnormality, "Do you still remember Nagashima Ryuko?"

"The girl who went to the black clinic for an abortion?" Lin Xiuyi frowned with confusion. "What happened to her?"

"She seems to be missing," Orikasa Midori's eyes revealed a hint of worry. "Last Friday morning, her mother came to the school and said that Nagashima Ryuko had not returned home since she went to school last Monday."

"She disappeared on Monday and wasn't found until Friday?" Lin Xiuyi asked, puzzled. "It's been five days. Why did her mother only think of looking for her now?"

"I heard that Nagashima Ruko's parents are divorced, and she lives with her mother," Orikasa Midori said with some sympathy. "Nagashima Ruko's mother works the night shift, which happens to be different from Nagashima Ruko's work schedule, so the two rarely see each other. It wasn't until last Friday that Nagashima Ruko's mother left work early and noticed her daughter was not at home."

Lin Xiuyi was puzzled. "The parents didn't notice, but what about the school? She hasn't been to school, so didn't the teachers at your school contact the parents to inquire?"

"Senior, Sakuragaoka Junior High School isn't Teitan, so their management of students is very relaxed," Orikasa Midori said helplessly. "Our school doesn't force students to go on to higher education, so most students just drift through the day. Many of them skip classes all the time, and the teachers are used to it, so they don't bother to care."

"Have you called the police?" Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment, "If I want to find someone, the police are more convenient."

"I think I did," Orikasa Midori recalled. "Last Friday afternoon, a police officer came to our school to investigate, but they just asked if anyone had seen Nagashima Ryuko and then left."

"Maybe the police have found her over the weekend." Seeing that the girl seemed a little worried, Lin Xiuyi smiled and comforted her, "You might be able to see her when you go to school today."

"I hope so," Orikasa Midori sighed, "Sorry to bother you, Senior. I'll go back first."

……

After separating from Orikasa Midori, Hayashi Hideichi walked all the way to the downstairs of Kisaki Eri's house, but did not go upstairs. He just waited at the door of the apartment building.

He looked at the sky boredly. A few white clouds were floating slowly, as if mocking his complicated mood at the moment.

After standing there for less than five minutes, the familiar figure of Kisaki Eri appeared before him.

After seeing Lin Xiuyi, she snorted coldly: "Aren't you going to accompany the future superstar?"

"Yukiko suddenly ran out of the izakaya last night. I couldn't just ignore it, right?" Lin Xiuyi spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

"Hmph, what on earth were you doing in the storage room yesterday?" Hibiki Eri glanced at him with suspicion in her eyes. "Why is she suddenly angry?"

"She seemed to have discovered what was going on between us," Lin Xiuyi said vaguely, "and then that's how it happened..."

"is it?"

Kisaki Eri's mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on her originally stern face.
"What happened after last night? Did you catch up with her?"

"Yeah," Lin Xiu nodded, "We chatted for a while in the small park, and then I took her home. She didn't bring her keys, so I..."

"Just let her live with you?" Before Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, Kisaki Eri had already guessed the result.

"Don't get me wrong, I slept on the sofa last night and she slept in the bedroom," Lin Xiuyi explained quickly, "I didn't do anything I shouldn't have done."

"Humph, you're such a pushover," Hibiki Eri said unhappily, "She should be sleeping on the sofa."

"Yukiko is a girl after all," Lin Xiuyi shook his head, "There's no reason for her to sleep on the sofa."

"She should be going back to the crew today, right?" Kisaki Eri asked curiously, "She didn't even ask you to see her off?"

"She did say that," Lin Xiuyi patted his chest, "but I was worried that you would be angry, so I ignored her and came to find you."

This answer obviously made Kisaki Eri very satisfied, and the smile on the corners of her mouth curled up a little.

……

At Takasaki Station, as agreed yesterday, Hiromi Yabuuchi came to pick up Yukiko.

Seeing the girl walking out of the tram alone, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's Lin Jun? You ran all the way back for him, and he didn't even see you off when you came back?"

"Don't mention him!" Yukiko waved her hands in annoyance. "I'm really upset right now."

Hiromi Yabuuchi winked at her boyfriend, and after Fukuda Hidekazu walked away, she teased, "What happened again? Could it be that Lin-jun cheated on her while you were away?"

"He hasn't hooked up with any new girls," Yukiko leaned against her bestie, her face full of grievance, "but I've only been gone a week, and that guy and the girl with glasses have clearly taken their relationship a step further..."
