Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 606: Since ancient times, green plums cannot defeat the one who falls from the sky! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Kogoro Maori's eyes were fixed on Bai Ye. The more he looked at him, the stronger the satisfaction in his heart became.

This young man has a posture as straight as a pine tree, a well-defined face, and is handsome. His calm temperament is naturally revealed in his words and actions, and he is decent and generous everywhere.

What makes Maori Kogoro feel most gratified is Bai Ye's meticulous and unreserved love for Xiaolan. Bai Ye considers every detail of life, no matter how trivial it is, in detail. Xiaolan is spoiled by him like a little princess in a fairy tale, surrounded by a halo of sweetness and happiness, and her eyes are filled with joy that cannot be hidden. It is a kind of sweetness and peace of mind that flows naturally from the depths of the soul.

On the other hand, a certain high school student detective always looked anxious every time he saw the other party, and his steps were hurried as if there was a beast chasing him. He was either busy rushing to the complicated crime scene or immersing himself in the brain-burning world of reasoning. His care for Xiaolan was mostly superficial, with only a few light, insincere, and careless greetings, which were as simple as perfunctory performances, and perfunctory to the point of being extremely infuriating.

Once a case occurs, the other party will leave Xiaolan alone without hesitation or blinking, leaving her to chew the bitterness in the long wait and silently endure the endless torment of loss.

Compared with Bai Ye, a considerate and warm-hearted high school detective, who only makes people disappointed and heartbroken, there is a world of difference between the two. One is in heaven and the other is in hell. There is no comparison at all.

Whenever Kogoro Mouri thought of his precious daughter who was secretly crying because she was hurt by a high school detective, his heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp steel needle. He felt a wave of pain and was filled with heartache and resentment. These emotions surged in his heart and could not be calmed for a long time, as if they had become an unhealable wound in his heart. Every time he thought of it, he felt a dull pain.

This pain and anger made his dissatisfaction with Kudo Shinichi reach its peak.

Well, it’s decided. From now on, Bai Ye will be Kogoro Mori’s son-in-law!

As for a certain high school detective, since he loves solving cases so much and is hopelessly obsessed with it, he should just focus on those cases and stop disturbing the peaceful life of his precious daughter!

Kogoro Mori doesn't need such an unreliable guy. His beloved daughter, whom he holds in his hands and loves dearly, doesn't need someone who always makes her sad!

His Xiaolan deserves the purest and most beautiful love and happiness in the world, and Bai Ye is undoubtedly the best person who can give her all of this.

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro couldn't hold back the strong emotions in his heart, he walked up to Bai Ye, then raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with a kind smile on his face, that smile was full of recognition and relief: "Bai Ye boy, you must take good care of Xiao Lan in the future. If I find out that you bully her, I won't let you off easily with my fists!"

Although there was a hint of joking in the tone, the love for his daughter and the expectation for Bai Ye were clearly audible.

Bai Ye had a humble and firm smile on his face, his eyes full of sincerity, and said seriously: "Uncle Maori, don't worry, I will love Xiaolan with all my heart and will never let her suffer any grievances."

After hearing this, Maori Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew that his daughter had finally found the man she could entrust her life to. "Good boy, I am completely relieved to hear you say that!"

As he spoke, he patted Bai Ye's shoulder heavily again. The powerful force seemed to convey the earnest entrustment and complete trust of a father. "If you need any help in the future, just ask. As long as it's for Xiaolan, I, Maori Kogoro, will definitely not hesitate!"

After that, his eyes quickly turned to Mao Lilan, and his eyes that were originally smiling instantly became soft and warm, his eyes were full of heartache and pity, as if Xiaolan was still the little girl who needed his protection: "Xiaolan, you did the right thing this time. You should stay away from irresponsible guys like Kudo Shinichi. Dad supports your decision. You deserve better, you deserve someone who truly knows how to cherish you and accompany you!"

As for who is the person who knows how to cherish and accompany Mao Lilan, there is no doubt that it is Bai Ye who is by his side!

When Mao Lilan heard her father's words, her eyes instantly turned red, as if covered by a thin layer of mist, and her eyes were shining with touch and joy. Her voice was a little choked, with a tremor that was difficult to conceal: "Dad, thank you..."

At this moment, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement and cried with joy, because she knew that her relationship with Bai Ye was approved by her father, and this was undoubtedly the best good news for her.

As for what a certain high school detective whose body had shrunk would think when he learned the news, she no longer cared about that.

Because now she is immersed in the joy of her relationship being recognized by her family, and her heart is full of longing for a future life with Bai Ye.

She couldn't help but imagine every ordinary and warm day she spent with her boyfriend, strolling together in the sunset, the golden afterglow shining on them, outlining the outline of happiness; celebrating every anniversary together, giving each other carefully prepared gifts, sharing each other's joy and touch; snuggling on a warm sofa together on cold winter days, watching their favorite movies, holding hands, and feeling each other's warmth.

Those beautiful images kept playing in her mind like a movie, making the corners of her mouth rise unconsciously and she was immersed in happy reverie and unable to extricate herself.

Just as Mao Lilan's cheeks were flushed and she was immersed in a happy reverie, Ayashiro Yukio quickly exchanged glances with Ayashiro Noriko and others beside him, and then they all smiled and spoke with enthusiasm in their voices: "Kogoro, congratulations!"

"Yes, congratulations!"

Everyone echoed, and the congratulations that came one after another created a festive atmosphere in the air.

As for what exactly they were congratulating, it was naturally congratulations to Kogoro Mori for finding a good husband.

Although it was only the first time they met Bai Ye, just seeing Bai Ye's tall figure, calm temperament, and humble and polite manners was enough to make people's eyes light up and feel good about him.

If they were in their shoes, and if their daughter could find such an outstanding partner, they would definitely support this relationship with joy.

Yumi Horikoshi crossed her arms, her lips slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Kogoro, you really found a treasure. This guy looks reliable. Xiaolan will be blessed in the future!"

As she spoke, she looked Bai Ye up and down carefully, her eyes full of undisguised admiration, but also a hint of envy and disappointment.

Why doesn't she have such good luck to meet such an excellent partner!

Thinking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Yumi Horikoshi's eyes. When Maori Kogoro heard everyone's congratulations, a smug smile instantly appeared on his face, and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He straightened his chest and said modestly: "Hahaha... When has my vision ever been bad? However, although Bai Ye is not bad, it is not so easy for him to marry my Xiaolan. I still need to investigate him carefully!"

Although he said so, his dancing and joyful expression had already exposed his inner pride and excitement.

Obviously, he couldn't be more satisfied with Bai Ye, his future son-in-law.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Conan standing beside him, with a hint of boasting and warning in his eyes, as if to say: "See, this is the future son-in-law in my mind. If you dare to mention someone like Kudo Shinichi in front of me again and try to match him with my Xiaolan, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said politely and gracefully: "Uncle Maori, don't worry. I know that I am not perfect now, but I will use my actions to prove that I have enough ability and sincerity to protect Xiaolan for the rest of my life. No matter it is rainy or sunny, I will not let her suffer any grievances."

As he spoke, he naturally turned his head to look at Xiaolan. The moment their eyes met, the air around them seemed to become gentle. Tenderness and determination flowed in his eyes, as if he was whispering, "Xiaolan, I will always be with you and never leave you."

Mao Lilan noticed his fiery gaze, and her cheeks flushed instantly, just like the sunset in the sky, shy and moving. She nodded gently, a small movement, but full of trust and response.

This shy and happy look made Yumi Horikoshi and others beside her couldn't help but say: "Xiaolan is such a good girl, you must treat her well. If you dare to let her down, we will not forgive you!"

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the atmosphere was lively and warm.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and said modestly: "I am lucky to be with Xiaolan. Uncles and aunts, don't worry, I will do my best to make her happy and will never let you down."

His tone was sincere and firm, and everyone nodded with approval in their eyes.

Ayashiro Noriko smiled and patted Mao Lilan's shoulder, saying gently: "Xiaolan, you must cherish her, such a good man is rare."

Mao Lilan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded gently, her eyes full of happiness: "Yes, I will."

It is her blessing to meet a good boyfriend like Bai Ye, how could she not cherish him!
Yumi Horikoshi watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She sighed softly, with a hint of self-mockery in her tone: "It seems that I have to work harder. I can't stay single forever."

Her words caused everyone to laugh and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Standing aside and listening to the conversation of several people, Conan felt a sudden "click" in his heart, as if he was hit hard by a sledgehammer, and his whole body was shocked.

He never imagined that he just wanted to say good things to his big name 'Kudo Shinichi' and try to bring Mouri Ran together with himself, but the situation has developed to the current situation.

Moreover, I don't know if he really had a long-standing grudge against his big brother Kudo Shinichi, or if he was completely enraged by his move to match Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi this time, Mouri Kogoro actually entrusted Ran to this guy Bai Ye in front of everyone!
"hateful……"

Conan cursed in his heart, the unwillingness and helplessness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

He was clearly aware that Bai Ye's status in the Maori family's hearts was gradually rising, but he was trapped in this small body, unable to express his identity and feelings, nor could he protect his Xiaolan openly.

How could he be willing to accept such a thing!

It was obvious that he was the one who loved Xiaolan the most and wanted to protect her the most, but because of his physical condition, he could only watch another man standing beside her and accepting everyone's blessings.

This feeling was so bitter that he almost burst with resentment.

What made Conan feel like he was falling into an ice cellar was that Mao Lilan not only did not refuse, but accepted it with pleasure. Obviously, Bai Ye already occupied a place in her heart, otherwise she would never have nodded in agreement at this moment.

Countless scenes of his time with Ran Mouri flashed through Conan's mind. Those happy times they once spent together now seemed like sharp blades piercing his heart.

He clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulged from the force, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.

Especially when he noticed the relief and satisfaction in Kogoro Mouri's eyes when he looked at Byakuya, and then recalled his previous disgust and dissatisfaction with his bigger version of Kudo Shinichi, as well as the tenderness and affection that could not be concealed in the beautiful eyes of Ran Mouri when she looked at Byakuya, his unwillingness became even stronger.

What's so good about this hateful guy Bai Ye? Why does Xiaolan look at him differently?

I have been with Xiaolan as her childhood sweetheart for so long, and why is our friendship over the years still no match for Bai Ye, a stranger who suddenly appeared?
Is it true, as the rumors say, that childhood sweethearts can never defeat the one who falls from the sky?
At this moment, the air around him seemed to become sticky, making Conan feel a little breathless.

He screamed wildly in his heart, wanting to rush up to question her, wanting to pull Xiaolan back to his side, but his reason told him that he could do nothing at all now.

Because he is no longer the high-spirited high school detective, but a kid with an uncertain future who is still in school!
Now he can only watch all this happen, like an outsider abandoned by fate.

Thinking of this, Conan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it was so painful that it almost stopped beating...
