Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 75: Busy Christmas Eve (Part )

The annual Christmas is approaching. The Japanese, who dream of leaving Asia and joining Europe, naturally also want to celebrate this important festival for Europeans and Americans.

However, compared to family reunions in Europe and the United States, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Japan have become days for couples to date and show off their love.

Twenty-two-year-old Hayashi Xiuyi, a senior at the University of Tokyo, has had his pager ringing non-stop since morning.

"You have so many dates today," my roommate teased me. "So many people are looking for you."

"It would be troublesome if there were too many..."

Lin Xiuyi sighed, quickly put on his clothes, took his pager, and ran straight to the public telephone booth at the entrance of the dormitory building.

Today, there were especially many people making phone calls. After Lin Xiuyi's turn was finally coming, he looked at the more than ten messages on his pager and began to have a headache. Who should he call first?

"Hey, are you going to make a call?" The student behind him couldn't help but urge him when he saw that he was still looking at the pager.

"Hit, hit now!"

Lin Xiuyi happened to come across Kujo Reiko's message and dialed the number on it.

Lingzi's complaints soon came from the other end of the phone.

"Onii-chan, why did you take so long to call me back? Were you with another woman? Eri-san, Yukiko-san, Midori-san, or..."

"Stop nagging me. I just got up here," Lin Xiuyi said quickly. "Too many people called today and had to queue up. It was finally my turn, so I'm the first one to call you, right?"

"real?"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to my beloved sister?"

"How about we go on a date tonight?"

"This……"

"Onii-chan, you hesitated, you really were lying just now!"

"I was just thinking about what gift to get you!"

"So, Onii-chan agreed to go on a date with me?"

"Yes, but it can only be done in the afternoon. I still have a report to finish in the evening, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late tonight."

……

After dealing with Lingzi, Lin Xiuyi casually found Xiaolu's message and called her.

"Senior, today is Christmas Eve, you..." Xiaolu on the other end of the phone was obviously a little embarrassed.

"I'm free in the morning and will come to your place later." Lin Xiuyi said with a smile.

"Great! Senior, I'll wait for you at the flower shop!"

……

After chatting for a few more words and hanging up the phone with Xiaolu, Lin Xiuyi saw a message from Fujimine Yukiko on his pager.

"I'm going back to Tokyo today. See you at the airport at 11pm."

It takes more than ten hours to get from New York to Tokyo. She should be on the plane by now.

Lin Xiuyi continued to flip through the pager while thinking.

It’s strange. Yingli didn’t send a message today?

Didn't she keep talking about spending Christmas Eve together these past few days?
Lin Xiuyi was just feeling strange when someone beside him suddenly said, "You have so many messages today. You must have a lot of appointments too. Do you have enough time?"

"Not bad? There's a saying, time is like a sponge, squeeze it..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Xiuyi finally realized that something was wrong. He looked up and saw that the person standing next to him was none other than Kisaki Eri.
Unlike Girls' Generation six years ago, the adult Eri Kisaki has a figure that is no less impressive than Yukiko Fujimine.

She was wearing a suit and skirt, which showed off her curvy figure. The flesh-colored stockings on her legs brought out her feminine charm to the extreme.

Compared to Hayashi Shuichi, who has not yet decided on his future career, Kisaki Eri is working part-time at a large law firm in Tokyo while pursuing a doctorate to gain experience.

"Well," Lin Xiuyi laughed dryly, "Eri, why are you here?"

Hibiki Eiri said with a half-smile: "If I don't come, you won't have time for the date tonight, right?"

"How is that possible!" Lin Xiuyi complained, "Tonight on Christmas Eve, I will only be with you. I swear!"

"Is it because that stinky fox hasn't come back yet?"

Fei Yingli snorted coldly and was too lazy to care about it anymore.

"I've already reserved a table at 7 o'clock tonight at the Observation Restaurant in the Rice Flower Central Building. Don't be late. Also..."

She leaned close to Lin Xiuyi's ear and whispered in a seductive voice,
"I've already booked a hotel room, and none of us are allowed to sleep tonight!"

After saying that, Fei Yingli directly stamped Lin Xiuyi's cheek with her red lips, and then warned,

"Don't wipe off the lip print! I have work to do during the day, and I have to check it when we get to the restaurant tonight!"

……

After seeing off Hibiki Eri, Lin Xiuyi stood in front of the mirror, looking at the lipstick marks on his face. He felt a pang of pain in his balls. If he took this to see Xiaolu and Lingzi, they would definitely scold him to death.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Xiuyi, with gauze on his face, walked into the flower shop on Mihua Commercial Street.

As soon as I entered the door, Xiaolu came up to me happily: "Senior, you are here...what's wrong with your face?"

Unlike the bad girl six years ago, Xiaolu has grown up to be more beautiful, and her appearance has also changed from heroic to gentle.

"It's okay. I was bitten by a big mosquito before, and I scratched it, so I went to the hospital to bandage it."

Lin Xiuyi said, looking around the flower shop. The shop was packed with men who came to pick flowers to give to their girlfriends.
"Business is really good today."

"Sorry," Xiaolu apologized, "I originally wanted to go out for a walk with Senior, but now things are like this, and my mother is too busy to handle it. I..."

"It's okay, I'll help you too," Lin Xiuyi said, rolling up his sleeves. "It doesn't matter where we go, as long as I'm with you."

"Ok!"

Xiaolu nodded happily and was about to pull Lin Xiuyi inside when the door of the flower shop was pushed open again.

Megure Jusan, an acquaintance of Hayashi Xiuyi in the Metropolitan Police Department, walked in.

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was also there, Inspector Megure's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Xiuyi, you are here too."

Xiaolu frowned and said, "Officer Megure, I've already told you that I have a boyfriend! Please don't bother me anymore."

"Well, Xiaolu, I came here today to tell you about this." Officer Megure gritted his teeth, looked at Lin Xiuyi's struggling expression for a long time, and finally said, "If the boyfriend you are talking about refers to Xiuyi, you may not know..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiaolu interrupted him impatiently,

"If you want to say something bad about your senior, please leave immediately!"

"No matter what you say, I won't believe it."

"Xiaolu, I..."

Inspector Megure was about to argue, but Xiaolu had already taken the wooden sword from the shelf next to him.

"Go quickly, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Seeing that Xiaolu was serious, Inspector Megure had no choice but to leave in disgrace.

After he left, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you let him finish his words? I..."

"Stop talking, Senior,"

The slender fingers pressed on Lin Xiuyi's lips, Xiaolu leaned in his arms and said in a faint voice,
"I don't want to hear that today..."

……

At half past two in the afternoon,
Lin Xiuyi arrived at the entrance of the amusement park on time and was about to look for his little cousin when his vision suddenly went dark and someone covered his eyes from behind.

"Guess who I am?"

"Eri?"

"No, guess again!"

"Has Xizi?"

"Onii-chan, I'm really getting angry!"

"Oh, I know. It's my cutest sister, Reiko!"

"Hmph," Reiko let go of her hand angrily, "Today is Christmas Eve, Onii-chan, you're still angry..."

At this point, the girl noticed the gauze on Lin Xiuyi's face.
"Onii-chan, are you hurt?"

"No, I was just bitten by a mosquito."

While explaining, Lin Xiuyi quietly pulled up his collar.

Just now when they parted at the flower shop, Xiaolu suddenly got angry for some unknown reason and bit his neck hard. Although there was no blood, two rows of teeth marks were left.

"Let's go, Onii-chan."

Lingzi took her brother's hand and walked happily towards the amusement park.
"I haven't had any fun at all these past six months because I've been preparing for the college entrance exam. Onii-chan, you have to have fun with me today!"

Lin Xiuyi looked at his little cousin's cheeks, which had obviously become thinner, with heartache.

This girl has always regarded Eri as her competitor. When Eri went to the University of Tokyo, she also set her sights on the University of Tokyo.

Fortunately, her academic performance is really good. Although her learning talent is a little bit worse than Eri's, if she works hard, she will have no problem getting into the University of Tokyo.

"Okay, let's have a good time today!"

Lin Xiuyi agreed with a smile, bent down and picked up his little cousin. Amid the girl's cheers, the brother and sister rushed to the amusement park...
