Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Seeing that Eri was really angry, Reiko didn't dare to argue anymore. She could only pout and walk out of the restaurant, looking back every few steps.

After chasing away the other girls, Eri Kisaki, clutching her blanket and pillow, walked towards the restaurant entrance without looking back, showing no intention of paying any attention to Hideaki Hayashi.

Lin Xiu glanced at her "bed" made of four chairs, instantly seeing it revert from a "luxury setup" to its original simplicity, with only bare chair surfaces remaining. She couldn't help but speak up.
"that……"

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with a cold glance from Eri Kisaki, her eyes carrying a strong warning.

"You'd better reflect on your actions tonight!"

After saying that, Eri Kisaki walked out of the restaurant without looking back.

After she left, Kogoro Mouri finally dared to turn around, look at the closed restaurant door, and click his tongue in amazement.
"Eri is as terrifying as ever when she gets angry."

As he spoke, he deliberately patted the blanket beneath him, making a "plop plop" sound.

Lin Xiu glanced at her friend, who was clearly gloating, and slumped down on the hard chair.

The narrow chair seat hurt his back, making it difficult to even turn over. Any slight movement would cause him to bump into the chair next to him, making a "creaking" sound.

Lin Xiuyi inwardly groaned; with these conditions, he would probably have to stay awake until dawn tonight.

"...Ah, that feels so good!"

Kogoro Mouri, standing nearby, let out an exaggerated sigh.

He adjusted his position comfortably, making himself more comfortable.
"Having a blanket underneath makes all the difference; it's soft and warm, and not uncomfortable at all. And this pillow has a glassy scent that makes me feel at ease. I'm sure I'll get a good night's sleep tonight."

This guy is obviously showing off on purpose!

Lin Xiuyi closed her eyes, listening to her friend's rambling on and on beside her.

"Liuli is so thoughtful..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu could no longer hold back.

He suddenly jumped up from his chair and, without saying a word, moved his chair next to Kogoro Mouri's "bed," so close together they were almost touching.

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri was startled by his sudden action, quickly covering his chest and feigning shyness, his expression awkward.
"...This is her first time, so don't do anything rash! If Liuli finds out, she'll be jealous!"

"Fuck off!"

Lin Xiuyi glared at him irritably and reached out to pull the blanket off him.
"Stop talking nonsense, give me half of the blanket."

"Hey, how could you do this!"

Kogoro Mori quickly covered the blanket, pouting in dissatisfaction.
"This was given to me by Liuli, why should I share half with you?"

Although he said that, he didn't actually refuse.

With a strong tug, Lin Xiuyi caused Mouri Kogoro to release his grip, allowing the other to pull half of the blanket over.

Lin Xiu spread the half-blanket she had pulled over onto her chair, and instantly felt much more comfortable.

He lay back down, adjusted to a slightly more comfortable position, closed his eyes, but still felt somewhat depressed.

Just a moment ago I was surrounded by a bunch of blankets and pillows, but now I have to share a blanket with Kogoro Mouri. The difference is too great.

"Hey, Shuichi," Kogoro Mouri suddenly spoke up, a hint of barely suppressed laughter in his voice, "Do you know what just happened reminded me of?"

"What?" Lin Xiu didn't even open his eyes, replying casually; all he wanted to do was sleep. "I remembered a story you told me and Eri when we were little,"

The laughter in Kogoro Mouri's voice became even more pronounced.

"It seems to be something like... 'One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water together'..."

He deliberately dragged out the sound, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Three monks have no water to drink! Hahahaha!"

……

At the same time, in another, more elegant and secluded bedroom in the mansion, Ikeba Shizuka had just finished bathing and was sitting in front of her dressing table, having her long, smooth, black hair combed by a maid.

At that moment, a younger, pretty maid tiptoed in and whispered something in her ear.

The content, of course, concerns a late-night farce that had just ended at the restaurant, caused by a few blankets and pillows.

Listening to the maid's vivid yet restrained description, Ikenami Shizuka was slightly taken aback at first, then couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips and chuckle softly.

Although she had anticipated that the girls would secretly deliver things to her when she had Lin Xiuyi and Mouri Kogoro sleep in the restaurant.

But no one expected things to turn out so dramatically.

That young lady's assertiveness and jealousy truly exceeded her expectations.

"Miss,"

Seeing her mistress smiling happily, the young maid couldn't help but ask softly.
"Should I deliver two blankets to Mr. Lin and Mr. Maoli?"

Upon hearing this, Ikeba Shizuka slowly shook her head.
“That Miss Fei not only drove everyone else away, but she also took her own things with her. If I were to give Lin Jun something now, I'm afraid I would be ostracized by all of them.”

"But it's a bit cold in the restaurant at night, and the two guests..." the maid said with some concern.

“Don’t worry,” Ikeba Shizuka smiled slightly, “This is also a punishment for him, since he was late.”

……

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Lin Xiuyi, after a busy day, finally succumbed to intense drowsiness and drifted into a restless sleep.

As the first rays of sunlight shone into the dining room through the gaps in the curtains, Lin Xiuyi was awakened almost simultaneously by her biological clock and the aches and pains throughout her body.

As soon as he tried to move his body, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Uh……"

My whole body felt as if it had been run over by an invisible truck, and I was filled with stiffness and soreness.

As Lin Xiuyi stretched her body, she sighed inwardly.
"Sigh, we've had too many good days. I can't even stand sleeping on a chair once in a while."

Kogoro Mouri, on the other hand, was still fast asleep in his chair.

What's even more ridiculous is that the fluffy pillow that Liuli gave him was somehow pulled out from under his head and was being held tightly in his arms like a treasure, with his cheek pressed intimately against the pillow.

No one knows what wonderful dream he was having, but he unconsciously pouted and kissed the pillow in his arms, his face beaming with a silly, satisfied smile.

Seeing her friend so carefree and immersed in a blissful dream, and then comparing it to her own miserable state of aches and pains all over her body, as if she had been disassembled and reassembled, Lin Xiu's helplessness deepened.

He shook his head, enduring the discomfort, and began to move his stiff limbs more vigorously, preparing for what was destined to be a difficult day. (End of Chapter)
