Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 671 I treat you as a friend, but you actually want to be my father?! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"that……"

Kudo Yukiko's fingers subconsciously stroked her lips, and the touch seemed to still retain the warmth of the night. Then, as if she wanted to hide something, she coughed lightly, pretended to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "Since everything is fine, let's quickly think about how to find Conan. We don't know how the child is doing now after this delay."

As she spoke, as if she had noticed something inadvertently, Kudo Yukiko's eyes fell on the injuries on Bai Ye's body, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes for a moment, "Your injuries..."

She frowned slightly, her tone full of concern, "It's all my fault. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been injured. This wound looks painful. We have to treat it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it gets infected."

Bai Ye was slightly stunned. Looking at the worried look of Kudo Yukiko, he subconsciously waved his hand, trying to downplay his injuries, not wanting Yukiko to blame herself too much: "It's okay, just a few small cuts, it's no big deal, let's go find that little guy Conan."

"How can this be done? There's a bush thorn stuck in the wound. Look here - if it's not treated in time, what if it gets infected?"

Kudo Yukiko frowned, looking worried, her eyes full of concern and determination, "I have a first aid kit in my car, let me help you treat your wound first."

As she spoke, she gently pulled Bai Ye's arm, the movement was gentle yet carried a force that could not be refused.

Bai Ye couldn't persuade her, so he had to let Kudo Yukiko pull his wrist and walk towards the green car parked on the side of the road.

Yukiko Kudo quickly walked to the car, opened the door skillfully, and then quickly found a first aid kit from the back seat.

She turned around and motioned Bai Ye to sit in the passenger seat, while she half-knelt in the car, facing Bai Ye.

At this time, snowflakes were fluttering down outside the window, sprinkling on the two of them through the gaps in the car window, adding a sense of tranquility and ambiguity to this small and enclosed space.

Yukiko Kudo looked focused as she gently and carefully unbuttoned the buttons of Bai Ye's shirt on the back. Every movement she made showed her extreme concentration, yet her slightly trembling fingers still revealed her inner nervousness.

Bai Ye could clearly feel the warm breath exhaled by Yukiko, gently brushing across his back like a feather. The warmth seemed to carry some kind of magic, slowly spreading along his spine to his heart, making his body unconsciously stiffen slightly, as if he was under a spell.

When she saw Bai Ye's back covered with fine beads of blood and a few hideous red marks faintly visible at the torn shirt, Kudo Yukiko's fingers unconsciously tightly gripped the leather handles - the scars were deeper than she had imagined, which made her heart suddenly tighten.

"It might hurt a little, please bear with it."

She spoke softly, her voice like a breeze blowing over the strings of a piano, with a gentle tremor. Then, she dipped a cotton swab in disinfectant and carefully wiped the wound on Bai Ye's back, her movements gentle but revealing a hint of nervousness.

Instantly, the air was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol and blood. When Yukiko leaned over, a few strands of brown curly hair gently fell on Bai Ye's shoulders. The ends of her hair had a faint scent of rose shampoo, which was wonderfully intertwined with the pungent smell of blood, creating a different atmosphere.

Bai Ye's body stiffened slightly due to the stimulation of the potion, as if it was a conditioned reflex. Seeing this, Yukiko's hands became more gentle, and she whispered to him, "It will be fine soon, just hold on a little longer."

At this moment, Yukiko's expression was focused and gentle, completely different from her usual mischievous appearance.

"Please bear with it for a while!" she whispered, and suddenly pulled out the splinter with decisive force.

Bai Ye's muscles tensed instantly, like a bow stretched to its limit, but he said stubbornly, "Don't worry, this little pain is nothing..."

Kudo Yukiko couldn't help but tease, "Really? So tough? Then why did I see you frowning in pain when you fell just now?"

This unexpected teasing made the two of them freeze at the same time as if they were cast under a spell.

The unexpected kiss just now suddenly became vivid in their memory - the cherry-flavored lipstick left on their lips, the crisscrossing breaths, and each other's suddenly accelerated heartbeats, everything emerged clearly in their minds like a movie, making their cheeks instantly hot and their heartbeats suddenly speed up, as if they were about to burst through their chests.

"Turn around, there are three left."

Kudo Yukiko's voice suddenly became a little tense, as if she was trying to suppress some emotion. When she approached again, Bai Ye keenly noticed that the tips of her ears were red and transparent, and her eyelashes were trembling violently like frightened butterfly wings, as if revealing her inner panic.

The moment the alcohol cotton ball wiped the wound, her little finger inadvertently brushed across Bai Ye's waist, causing a shudder like an electric shock.

"Hiss——" Bai Ye couldn't help but gasp. The sound made Kudo Yukiko hurriedly withdraw her slender hand, but she was so flustered that her elbow hit the medicine box beside her.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of glass bottles breaking, the sound was particularly harsh in this silent space. She lost her balance and fell forward, instinctively supporting Bai Ye's exposed back with her hands.

The moment their palms touched, they froze at the same time again. Yukiko Kudo could feel the texture of the muscles under her fingertips very clearly. The scars that rose and fell with her breathing were much deeper than they looked, as if they were telling of some unknown past.

Bai Ye's back was as tense as a fully drawn bow, and his shoulder blades trembled slightly under her palms, as if he was trying to suppress some unspeakable emotion.

The sudden contact stunned both of them.

Bai Ye could feel Yukiko's warm breath spraying on his body, and that warmth seemed to have an invisible force that touched his heartstrings. And because of this unexpected close contact, Kudo Yukiko's cheeks instantly became hot, as if blood could drip out.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Kudo Yukiko tried to get up in panic, but her hair got tangled in Bai Ye's belt buckle.

The more frantically she pulled, the tighter the hair became entangled. In the end, she had to maintain a half-kneeling position with her cheek almost touching Bai Ye's waist and abdomen. The scene was full of unspeakable ambiguity and embarrassment.

Bai Ye's voice was low and hoarse, as if suppressed by some invisible force: "Don't move..." His slender fingers carefully passed through her hair. This action, which should have been simple, became extremely difficult because of the disordered breathing of the two. Every movement seemed to carry some different meaning, as if it was provoking their tense nerves.

There was a tense and ambiguous atmosphere in the air, making it almost hard to breathe.

When his fingertips accidentally brushed her hot earlobe, Kudo Yukiko suddenly heard her own violent heartbeat clearly, as if it was about to burst through her chest...

Her cheeks were burning hot, and she could clearly feel Bai Ye's breath, which was a breath of tension and restraint, making her heart beat almost out of her throat. Her body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't bear this sudden close contact, but she couldn't resist this subtle attraction.

"I, let me try..." Kudo Yukiko's voice was almost inaudible. She tried to calm herself down and tried to untangle her hair with her fingers. However, her fingers were trembling, and every touch seemed to arouse the tense nerves of the two, making the ambiguous atmosphere even stronger.

Bai Ye's breathing also became rapid, his eyes were fixed on Kudo Yukiko's face, and complex emotions flashed in his deep eyes. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only let this ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two of them.

"This hair seems to be tied a little too tightly..."

Kudo Yukiko's voice trembled slightly, and her fingers finally untangled the tangled hair, but she was shocked to find that the hem of Bai Ye's shirt was still in her hands, and the bright lipstick mark on the waistband of the young detective was particularly eye-catching.

Not only that, but her body was even closer to Bai Ye because of the action of untying her hair. Her cheek was almost touching his waist and abdomen, and the warm touch made her heart beat faster, and her pretty face turned redder and more beautiful, like a ripe apple.

Kudo Yukiko hurriedly stood up and put some distance between herself and Bai Ye. Her cheeks were flushed like a ripe apple, and she avoided looking at Bai Ye, her heart full of a complex mixture of panic and shyness.

Bai Ye closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Because he knew clearly that this was the first time he and Kudo Yukiko, the beautiful wife who was once known as the "Teitan Princess" at Teitan High School, met, and they were not familiar with each other at all.

Even though they had just experienced those blushing and heart-pounding ambiguous moments, he understood that matters of the heart cannot be rushed, and the passion between them was far from ripe. It would take time to conquer each other.

However, when he opened his eyes again, his gaze unexpectedly met Kudo Yukiko's.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze again, and everything around them became blurry, leaving only the close distance between the two people and the panic and throbbing in each other's eyes.

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, and no one broke the heart-pounding silence. Finally, Kudo Yukiko seemed to have mustered up great courage, bit her lip lightly, and said slowly: "Well... let's take care of the wound quickly."

Although her voice was still trembling, she had managed to regain some composure and tried to break the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere with these seemingly ordinary words.

Bai Ye nodded slightly, his voice still a little hoarse: "Well, okay."

Yukiko Kudo took a deep breath, picked up the cotton swab and medicine again, and continued to carefully clean Bai Ye's wound. Her movements became more cautious, trying to avoid any close contact with Bai Ye, but the panic in her heart was still difficult to calm down.

After wiping the wound, she began to apply ointment to Bai Ye. Her fingers gently slid across Bai Ye's back, and the delicate touch made Bai Ye's heart beat faster involuntarily, as if beating a rapid drumbeat.

Kudo Yukiko seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere, and her cheeks flushed again. Fortunately, the light in the car was dim, so it was not too obvious. But she could clearly feel the heat on her face, as if it could ignite the air around her.

Just as she was about to put a Band-Aid on Bai Ye's wound, her hand accidentally touched Bai Ye's sensitive part. Bai Ye's body suddenly stiffened, and Kudo Yukiko quickly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Both of them were stunned. The air in the car seemed to freeze in an instant. The awkward atmosphere spread again, and it was even thicker than before, as if it could swallow up the two of them.

"I'm sorry." Yukiko Kudo's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Her cheeks were burning and her heart was beating like a drum, as if it was about to burst through her chest. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in to avoid this embarrassing situation.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "No...it's okay." But his voice still had a hint of unnaturalness, and the slightly trembling tone revealed the turmoil in his heart.

After a brief silence, Kudo Yukiko bit her lip and mustered up the courage to continue treating Bai Ye's wound.

This time, she was extra careful to avoid any awkward contact. Finally, she finished bandaging and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of a heavy weight in her heart.

"Okay, the wound has been treated, it shouldn't be a big deal." She said softly, her voice still with a hint of shyness, and a little trembling, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the embarrassment just now.

Bai Ye turned around and looked at Kudo Yukiko, and found that her eyes were still evasive, not daring to look him in the eye. He felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start. He said softly: "Thank you, Ms. Yukiko, just now..."

Before he could finish, Kudo Yukiko blushed and interrupted him hurriedly: "Don't... don't say anymore, it was all an accident. Let's go find Conan." She hurriedly packed up the scattered medicine boxes. Although her movements seemed quick, she could not hide her inner panic. Her eyes were dodging, and she did not dare to look Bai Ye in the face, as if she was afraid of falling into that awkward and ambiguous situation again.

"Um……"

Bai Ye nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he got into the car with Kudo Yukiko tacitly. No one mentioned the unexpected kiss or the even more awkward touch that happened afterwards.

But Bai Ye knew that when Yukiko's hair brushed against his wound, the slight tingling and numbness would probably linger in his memory for a long time like that cherry-flavored kiss, and become an unforgettable experience in his heart.

He knew in his heart that this accident had planted a small seed between him and Kudo Yukiko. Perhaps one day in the future, it would quietly sprout and bloom into a different flower...
