Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 596: They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Is it your turn to object, monsters like you?

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you for several years."

In the lounge, Kogoro Mouri was sinking deeply into the soft sofa, his eyes slowly sweeping over the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar faces in front of him. His heart was filled with emotion, and his tone was unconsciously filled with the vicissitudes of life and sighs.

He still remembered that the last time he saw these classmates was five years ago.

Although they had graduated at that time, they still had some of the youthful vigor and vitality that are unique to their youth. However, time flies, and in just five short years, the knife of time has quietly left traces on everyone's face. Unknowingly, everyone has entered middle age, and the youthfulness on their faces has faded, replaced by maturity and fatigue that has settled down in life.

Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. It's so fast that he can hardly remember those trivial and beautiful daily life in his youth, he only remembers that the sun was always exceptionally bright back then.

I don’t know when we will meet again, and how many people will be absent.

I hope that by then, the original cast can all gather together, without missing a single one!

"That's right. We haven't seen each other since the class reunion here five years ago."

Yumi Horikoshi walked over quickly with a warm smile on her face. Her warmth instantly melted the barriers between them, as if all those years had never passed and they were still the same group of young people who had spent their youth freely on campus.

"We are graduates of the same class of the Beihua University Judo Club. It's rare for us to meet each other."

A bald man echoed, his voice was deep and mellow, with a bit of the calmness of someone who had experienced the world.

Hearing his words, Maori Kogoro beside him sighed softly, his voice full of nostalgia for the past, "Those days of hard training are really nostalgic."

Every drop of sweat shed on the judo field at that time, although full of hardships, was also filled with the passion and enthusiasm unique to youth, and became the most precious treasure deep in their memories.

As soon as these words came out, before Horikoshi Yumi could say anything, a tall and thin man standing beside her could not help but complain mercilessly, with a slightly teasing smile on his face, "How dare you say that? You yourself rarely come to practice."

"That is to say..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up ripples of memories. A woman wearing glasses also joked, with a mischievous light flashing in her eyes behind the lenses, "You always said that geniuses don't need practice. So why don't you come to practice all day long, Maoli."

Although there was sarcasm in the words, they also concealed the nostalgia for those youthful years.

A fat man with glasses sitting next to her smiled and continued her words, "So in the end when we compete against our friendly school, you're the only one who doesn't win."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the air, as if it was going to bring out all the memories of the past. Those dusty funny and embarrassing things, all the little bits and pieces of the past, now became so clear and vivid, as if they happened just yesterday.

“I competed that time because…”

When Kogoro Mori heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and tried to defend himself, but he was ruthlessly interrupted before he could say anything.

"I knew it……"

A crisp voice was heard. It turned out to be Mao Lilan who had just come out of the bath. She hugged her hands in front of her chest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a little pride, as if she had expected this situation.

When Maori Kogoro heard the voice, his whole body froze and he stammered, "Xiao... Xiaolan?"

Mao Lilan raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "So what you said about being invincible in college was a lie, Dad."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were filled with teasing for her father. The interaction between the father and daughter made the atmosphere around them even more relaxed and cheerful.

Seeing her, the bald man smiled and greeted her, his voice full of the kindness and care of an elder to a younger person, "Hi, Xiaolan, long time no see."

Yumi Horikoshi also smiled and greeted Mao Lilan, "Hey, Xiaolan, you are here."

As she spoke, she suddenly paused and looked up and down at Mao Lilan, her eyes full of undisguised admiration and amazement, and a hint of indescribable meaning, as if she saw the shadow of her own youth through Xiaolan, "Although we just met a few days ago, you have really grown up and become more and more beautiful."

Although girls change a lot when they grow up, the Mao Lilan in front of me has skin as white as snow, rosy and shiny thin lips, a pretty nose, and delicate facial features like a carefully carved work of art. Her watery eyes are full of lively light, and she looks radiant, as if she has been gently caressed by the warm spring sun. She exudes youth and vitality, and her skin is so moist and smooth that it seems that water can be squeezed out of it.

Anyone who sees her with her eyes full of spring and charming beauty will be dazzled and admired.

However, can just soaking in a hot spring really bring about such a drastic change in a girl?
Yumi Horikoshi expressed doubts about this.

Rather than saying that Mao Lilan's charming and charming look was the magical effect of soaking in a hot spring, she would rather believe that it was the result of the nourishment of a man.

Thinking of this, Yumi Horikoshi inadvertently glanced at Bai Ye who was standing next to Mao Li Ran, and a meaningful look flashed in her eyes.

As someone who has experienced it, she seriously suspected that the daughter of her old classmate was most likely blessed by love.

Otherwise, how could she be so radiant, exuding the charm of a mature woman, and even her eyes had a hint of charm and tenderness that was not usually there, which was completely different from the girl's usual pure temperament.

As for the person who made her so radiant, Yumi Horikoshi felt that she already had the answer in her heart.

If she guessed correctly, it should be the handsome guy next to the other party. After all, Maori Kogoro, a careless man, may not have noticed the changes in his daughter, nor the loving eye contact between him and Bai Ye, but as a thoughtful woman, how could she not see it?

But this is Kogoro Mori's family affair after all, and it is not appropriate for her, an outsider, to interfere.

Besides, they are a talented couple with beautiful looks, a match made in heaven, and their sweet love is enviable. Why should she do anything unnecessary?

Mao Lilan was keenly aware of the strange look in Horikoshi Yumi's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Her heart skipped a beat and her pretty face instantly turned a light blush, as cute as a ripe apple. She took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the ripples in her heart, fearing that she would be discovered by him. "It's okay."

Maori Kogoro didn't notice anything strange about his daughter. Instead, he was curious about another question and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Xiaolan, where did you go just now?"

After taking a hot spring bath, a little kid took him to look for it in the ordinary hot spring area for a long time, but he couldn't find any trace of his precious daughter. He even couldn't find a certain bad boy.

If he didn't know that his daughter and that brat were very powerful and ordinary people couldn't do anything to them, he would have almost thought that the two of them were being targeted by some blind kidnapper.

Conan also hurried forward, with an innocent smile on his face, but a subtle curiosity and inquiry was hidden in his eyes. He echoed: "Yes, Sister Xiaolan, where did you go just now? My uncle and I have been looking for you for a long time, but we can't find you..."

Because he was really worried about Byakuya and afraid that he would do something to his childhood sweetheart, after hurriedly taking a hot spring bath, he coaxed and deceived Kogoro into going to look for Mouri Ran, Byakuya and others, risking being beaten up by Mouri Kogoro.

At first, Kogoro Mori was naturally unhappy. After all, he had finally arrived at the hot spring village, and he wanted to take a good soak in the hot spring.

However, Conan couldn't resist pulling his arm, acting pitiful, and muttering about all kinds of possible accidents. In addition, Kogoro Mouri was really concerned about his daughter's safety. After a lot of trouble, he finally gave in and agreed to go find someone.

However, although Conan and Maori Kogoro searched very carefully and left no corner unsearched, they still could not find any trace of the two people after they searched the entire ordinary hot spring pool area.

Thinking of this, Conan raised his head while speaking, staring straight at Mao Li Ran and looking at her carefully. However, the more he looked, the stranger it seemed to him.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his childhood sweetheart was more radiant, more charming, and more beautiful than when they met before, as if she was filled with happiness.

There was a unique kind of charm in her every gesture and movement, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of soft light, and she looked extremely radiant.

Noticing this strange change, Conan couldn't help but start to wonder.

Can hot spring bathing really have such magical effects?

Why did he also take a bath, but there was no change at all?
Could it be because the two people were soaking in different types of hot springs?
Conan was full of doubts, his eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Mao Lilan's breathing suddenly became slightly rapid, a hint of shyness and panic flashed in her eyes inadvertently, and she looked extremely unnatural.

Where did she go? Of course, she went to a hot spring with her boyfriend, and was massaged inside and out by him!
Even at this moment, there are still some special sweet "memories" in her body that have not been "digested".

But, can she say such words?
That must not be the case!

Otherwise, let's not talk about how Conan, who has always had a crush on her, would react, just look at her father, Kogoro Mouri. At that time, he would probably be so angry that he would explode on the spot, and might even raise his fists to fight her boyfriend.

After all, not only was her daughter's purity taken away by another man without her knowledge, but her daughter was also completely trained into the man's shape. Even when she was taking a hot spring bath, the man was next door doing all kinds of sexual things to her at will.

Any father would not tolerate such a thing!
She seriously suspected that if her father knew about the various ways her boyfriend exploited her and taught her, he would not be able to hold back his anger and beat her boyfriend.

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip hard and forced herself to calm down, but because she was too ashamed, her mind was like a tangled mess at the moment. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make sense of it, and she couldn't think of a barely acceptable excuse to deal with the embarrassing situation.

As if she was sensitive to Mao Lilan's embarrassment and shyness, or perhaps she really liked this little guy Conan, Horikoshi Yumi smiled slightly and broke the awkward situation that made Mao Lilan feel very uncomfortable, "This kid is the one who was left at your house, right?"

As she spoke, she bent down slightly, her movements were gentle and graceful, with a kind smile on her face, looking at Conan with a smile, her eyes full of the love of an elder for a younger person, "Oh, it's so cute!"

The tall and thin man also came over quickly with a gentle smile on his face: "Yeah, it's really cute!"

Conan immediately put on a well-behaved and sensible look, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing two cute canine teeth, and greeted crisply: "Uncle, aunt, hello!"

Yumi Horikoshi and the tall and thin man looked at each other, their smiles became even brighter, and they said in unison: "Hello, little guy!"

As she spoke, Yumi Horikoshi suddenly seemed to remember something and cast her eyes towards Bai Ye, who was standing quietly at the side and exuding a unique temperament. A hint of uncontrollable curiosity flashed in her eyes: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this?"

To be honest, she was really interested in Bai Ye, the handsome guy who appeared with Mao Li Ran.

This is not only because the other party is suspected to be the boy that her old classmate's daughter likes, but also because of his outstanding appearance.

—— Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, eyes as deep as the abyss, a high nose bridge, hard yet soft lines, thin lips, with a bit of innate coldness. His black hair is just right, simple and neat, but exudes a different charm. His figure is as tall as a pine tree, standing there, as if it is a landscape in itself, making people unable to help but look at him.

With such looks and temperament, Bai Ye can definitely be said to be outstanding and unforgettable even among the various and countless outstanding opposite sexes she has met in the past.

Mao Lilan finally came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly flushed, like the sunset glow in the sky, with a bit of shyness and pride, she quickly introduced: "This is my good friend, Aozaki Byakuya. He usually takes special care of me, and he happened to be free today so he came with me."

As she spoke, Mao Lilan subconsciously moved closer to Bai Ye. The tacit understanding and intimacy between the two of them naturally confirmed the guess in her heart by Horikoshi Yumi who had been paying attention to them...
