Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 672: Mrs. Yukiko, you don't want Conan to know about this, right? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

The car started slowly and drove on the snow-covered road. The wheels crushed the snow, making a "crunching" sound.

Outside the car window, snowflakes were still falling, covering the whole world in silver. However, the atmosphere inside the car was still somewhat subtle. The aftertaste of ambiguity was still lingering between Bai Ye and Kudo Yukiko, like a soft spider silk, thin but hard to ignore.

On the surface, Kudo Yukiko was concentrating on steering with her eyes looking straight ahead, but her mind had already drifted away. Various scenes of her time with Bai Ye just now kept appearing in her mind. Those unintentional touches and ambiguous atmospheres played in her mind like a movie, making her cheeks flush from time to time, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky, delicate and moving.

She was flustered and embarrassed to have such an intimate contact with her son's friend. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if she had a lively little rabbit in her arms.

She pretended to casually glance at Bai Ye who was sitting next to her, but suddenly found that he seemed to be looking at her. The moment their eyes suddenly met in the air, her face suddenly turned redder, like a ripe tomato. The scorching temperature seemed to ignite the air around her, making the atmosphere in the car even hotter.

She hurriedly looked away, pretending to concentrate on driving, but her heartbeat became more and more violent, as if it would burst through her chest in the next second, exposing her inner panic without reservation.

Bai Ye was also in a state of confusion at this moment. His eyes fell on the snowflakes flying outside the car window. Although he seemed calm, his heart was already in turmoil.

Everything that had just happened between him and Kudo Yukiko made him feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He secretly looked at Kudo Yukiko without leaving any trace, and seeing her cheeks flushed with shyness, his heart couldn't help but palpitate, as if an invisible hand gently plucked his heartstrings.

It has to be said that Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki do have many similarities, but they each exude their own unique charm.

One is a fairy with a sweet and charming appearance, as if she walked out of a painting, and her acting skills are impeccable and can be called genius level. With her own charm and talent, she debuted with a distinctive and unique image, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention, and was sought after by media around the world. She is undoubtedly the well-deserved princess of Teitan High School;
The other one, with her extraordinary intelligence and talent, showed extraordinary strength in the Tokyo University entrance examination questionnaire. At the age of 16, she was recommended to study abroad at Harvard with her outstanding grades. She is both talented and beautiful, like the queen of Teitan High School, exuding an overwhelming charm.

Moreover, the two of them were legendary figures in Teitan High School back then. Their appearance set off a sensational beauty pageant craze, but in the end, the competition came to an end because the two of them were too dazzling, becoming a campus legend that people talked about with relish.

It is absolutely impossible for Bai Ye to remain unmoved in the face of such a charming woman like Kudo Yukiko.

As for the fact that the other party is Kudo Shinichi's mother, his "action" towards her seems a little inappropriate from a secular perspective?
Haha, being Kudo Shinichi’s mother, this is a plus!
After all, a certain high school detective has always been thinking about his Xiaolan, who appears from time to time like a little tail, trying to disrupt his sweet date with his girlfriend.

You can't just allow the other person to act like an annoying light bulb and ruin their good times without allowing him, the "victim", to take a little revenge, right?
——Indeed, in the established world setting of "Detective Conan", Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi are recognized as a pair of CP. In a sense, he, the "time traveler", seems to be the "thief" who breaks the original plot trajectory.

But the key point is that the two of them really become boyfriend and girlfriend, which happens in the later stage of the plot. Now, both Mao Li Ran and Kudo Shinichi are still in a confused emotional stage, and neither of them has made their feelings clear to each other.

Under such delicate circumstances, he pursued Mao Lilan without any feeling of injustice towards Kudo Shinichi.

On the contrary, Kudo Shinichi, even though he knew that Mouri Ran and he had become lovers, still refused to give up and kept pestering her like a stubborn child, trying to make Mouri Ran change her mind and come back to him.

This kind of behavior is really excessive.

Since a certain high school detective was unkind first, don't blame him for being unjust.

What's more, this time the person who took the initiative, no, the person who "spoke", was not him, but Kudo Yukiko herself!

Of course, he also knew that, although he had just had a series of ambiguous contacts with Kudo Yukiko, this Teitan princess who had once shone brightly in Teitan High School was not so easy to be "conquered".

But it doesn’t matter. He may not have other things, but he has patience.

He was willing and had the time to wait for the best time to capture Kudo Yukiko, his favorite prey.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the relationship between Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku was not as solid as a rock and indestructible.

At the very least, in the original work, Kudo Yusaku once got extremely drunk and fell on the sofa in a very ungraceful manner. What's worse, there were lipstick marks from a woman on his collar.

After learning about this, Kudo Yukiko was furious and even considered having an affair as a way to retaliate against Kudo Yusaku's infidelity.

If he could take advantage of the time when Kudo Yukiko was in this frustrated state and was extremely disappointed with Kudo Yusaku and cleverly increase Kudo Yukiko's favorability, he might really have a chance to pluck this Teitan flower that once bloomed so brilliantly in Teitan High School.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a faint smile, which was a bit cunning and a bit confident.

As if she had sensed Bai Ye's fiery and unmoved gaze, the blush on Kudo Yukiko's pretty face instantly spread like a raging fire, just like the gorgeous clouds in the sky dyed by the setting sun, gorgeous and dazzling. Her wrist seemed to be out of control, and she shook it violently, causing the car to suddenly shake violently, as if it was a concrete manifestation of her inner panic, showing her embarrassment at the moment without reservation.

Bai Ye came back to his senses and asked with concern, a hint of worry in his tone, "What's wrong?"

Kudo Yukiko coughed lightly, trying to break the silence that made her heart beat faster, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "I'm sorry, this road is too difficult to walk on, the snow is too thick, Bai Ye-kun, please bear with it for a while."

Bai Ye responded softly, "Yeah, it's okay."

"Is the heater warm enough?" Kudo Yukiko spoke again, her voice half a tone higher than usual, sounding a little deliberate. She pretended to adjust the air outlet, but her eyes secretly glanced at the young man in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror. From this angle, she could see a fresh scratch on his collarbone, which was a masterpiece she accidentally left in her panic. At this moment, the scratch was like a burning gaze, burning her sight and making her heart more flustered. Her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, and even the tips of her ears were stained with an intoxicating crimson color.

Bai Ye looked at the snow outside the window, and the profile of Kudo Yukiko appeared in the reflection of the glass. The red corners of her eyes looked like she had been carefully smeared with rouge, revealing a touch of intoxicating charm. Her lower lip, which was bitten by teeth, still had traces of the kiss just now, making her look particularly delicate and charming. Just like a ripe cherry, it exudes an attractive luster, making people want to kiss her.

"Thank you for your concern, but..." He paused deliberately, slowly retracting his gaze from the window to the red tip of Kudo Yukiko's ear.

As she held the steering wheel with her slender hands, her knuckles turned slightly white due to nervousness. The corners of her mouth curled up with a teasing smile, "Ms. Yukiko, you seem to need to cool down more than me."

When Kudo Yukiko heard this, her heart skipped a beat and the blush on her face spread rapidly to her neck like a flood, as if it was going to drown her entire body in shame.

In this extreme panic, she almost stepped on the wrong accelerator, and at this moment, there was a sudden loud "bang" from the back seat - it was the first aid kit that hit the car door hard because it was not placed steadily due to the bumpy ride just now.

This sudden sound was like throwing a stone into the already tense atmosphere, causing ripples.

She couldn't help but think of the ambiguous situation when she knocked over the medicine box during the argument just now. The temperature in the car seemed to have risen a few degrees, making her even more uneasy.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the flakes were falling like goose feathers. The snow on the windshield was constantly pushed away by the wipers and quickly gathered together, just like Kudo Yukiko's confused thoughts at the moment, chaotic and disorganized.

When she married Kudo Yusaku at the age of seventeen, she thought that life was like a well-rehearsed stage play, everything would proceed step by step, and the predetermined script would be performed under the spotlight.

Until today, when I was protected by this strange young man, the originally bright spotlight suddenly went out, and the only sounds in the darkness were the intertwining breathing and the sound of my heart beating as rapidly as a deer's running.

This sudden change was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which completely disrupted her originally peaceful life. It also stirred up layers of uncalmed waves in her heart, making her inner world no longer peaceful.

Thinking of this, Kudo Yukiko pretended to be angry and glared at Bai Ye, but her eyes were unconsciously mixed with a hint of shyness, like the spring breeze, gentle and seductive. However, she didn't dare to look at him for too long, and quickly looked away, pretending to be calm and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I just... the heating is just a little too high."

However, although she tried hard to appear calm, the slightly trembling tone of her voice ruthlessly exposed the panic in her heart that was difficult to conceal.

Seeing this, Bai Ye just laughed softly and stopped teasing her. Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked out the window again.

He knew that the series of interactions between him and Kudo Yukiko had already planted a special and wonderful seed between the two of them.

He is full of expectations about how this seed will take root, sprout and grow in the future.

The car continued to drive slowly in the snow, and soon, the outline of a small town appeared in the distance. At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly said, "Turn right ahead."

"Huh?" Kudo Yukiko was slightly stunned and subconsciously turned the steering wheel according to his instructions. After she reacted, she was shocked to realize that the vehicle was now heading towards Beika-cho 2-chome - the opposite direction of Kudo's house.

"Wait, this doesn't seem to be the way to..."

"My apartment." Before she could finish, Bai Ye continued, "I need to change my clothes."

He paused slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he looked down at his torn collar, where a button was missing, which looked particularly glaring. The bright lipstick marks on the waistband and collar were like a burning flame, particularly eye-catching in this slightly gray tone, as if telling the ambiguous episode just now.

"I think you don't want to be misunderstood by Professor Agasa and Conan, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes were meaningful and he glanced at Kudo Yukiko's delicate pink lips intentionally or unintentionally.

The reason why the clothes he was wearing looked like this now was undoubtedly thanks to Kudo Yukiko.

However, to some extent, he not only did not lose money, but made a lot of money.

After all, if one could use a piece of clothing to exchange for a kiss from Kudo Yukiko, the Teitan princess who once shone like a pearl in Teitan High School, I think there would be a lot of people in this world who would flock to it.

Yukiko Kudo followed his gaze and instantly understood what he meant. The blush on her face seemed to be ignited again and deepened rapidly.

She pursed her lips subconsciously, and this subtle movement caused the rose-colored lipstick to spread a little at the corner of her lips, like a wild rose suddenly blooming in the snow, gorgeous and moving - it was the color that had stained his collar and waistband when she accidentally kissed Bai Ye just now.

At this moment, this color is like a silent witness, becoming another profound footnote to the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people, making this already extremely subtle atmosphere even more intense.

Noticing Bai Ye's increasingly intriguing eyes, Kudo Yukiko bit her lower lip lightly, a flash of panic flashed across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly calmed herself down and teased calmly, "Humph, you think it through quite well. Could it be that you have done this kind of thing a lot and are so experienced?"

As soon as she said this, she secretly regretted it. Such jealous words should not come from her, a married woman. But the words were already out, like spilled water, and could not be taken back...
