Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 678: Once you see Bai Ye, you will regret your whole life! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Very good, Ms. Yukiko, I believe you will not regret your decision today."

When Bai Ye saw that Kudo Yukiko finally gave in, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, with a hint of success in that smile. Then he lowered his head and pecked Kudo Yukiko's pink lips lightly, but his hands still did not loosen. Instead, he held her tightly, as if silently declaring some kind of sovereignty.

Yukiko Kudo avoided his gaze, feeling mixed emotions. She hated herself for being so cowardly that she gave in so easily under such intimidation; she was also afraid of the unknown.

Her heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. She knew that she had fallen into an extremely passive and dangerous situation.

She had no idea what kind of requests Bai Ye would make tomorrow, or what would happen between them when they were together.

She really wasn't sure whether the promise she had just made could really put an end to today's chaos.

But at this moment, in order to get rid of the crisis, she could only agree to Bai Ye's request for the time being, and then take it one step at a time...

On the other side, Kudo Yusaku on the other end of the phone seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Kudo Yukiko, frowned slightly, and then asked with concern: "Yukiko, what's wrong with you? Is the signal bad? Why is there no sound?"

Kudo Yukiko was startled, and quickly calmed herself down, trying to make her voice sound as normal as possible, and said, "No...it's okay, Yusaku, there was a sudden noise over here just now, and I didn't hear what you said clearly. Please repeat it again."

Kudo Yusaku's voice was full of concern and expectation, as well as the anticipation of teasing Conan. "Oh, I was asking how your discussion with Byakuya-kun went. Do you have any new and interesting ideas?"

Kudo Yukiko pursed her pink lips and looked at Bai Ye warily, fearing that he would continue to make trouble, and said: "There is no difficulty for the time being, we are almost ready. Moreover, we...we have added some more exciting arrangements, I believe Conan will be impressed."

She eagerly tried to steer the conversation to the plan to play a prank on Conan, in order to distract herself from her near-collapse from nervousness, and secondly, to end this dangerous confrontation with Bai Ye as soon as possible.

"Haha, that's good. I believe we can play a good trick on Conan this time. By the way, Bai Ye-kun is still with you, right? Please thank him for me."

Kudo Yusaku said with a hearty laugh, not realizing how 'dangerous' the person on the other end of the line was.

"Okay...Okay, Yusaku, I will."

Yukiko Kudo struggled to squeeze out a response. She felt as if her throat was choked by something and she used up all her strength to speak each word.

Kudo Yusaku continued, "By the way, Yukiko, don't just focus on teasing Conan, but also pay attention to your own and Byakuya-kun's safety, so that you don't get hurt by those mechanisms."

It’s fun to have fun, but it would be bad if you accidentally hurt yourself or others!
"Yes, I understand, Yusaku. Don't worry, I will be careful. Don't overwork yourself, and make sure to rest while working."

Kudo Yukiko responded to Kudo Yusaku's concern calmly, but in her heart she was praying madly that the call would end as soon as possible so that she could get rid of this embarrassing predicament.

"Okay, that's it. After you've played a trick on Conan, remember to share his reaction with me. It's bound to be very interesting." Kudo Yusaku said with a smile.

Kudo Yukiko was afraid that Kudo Yusaku would ask some difficult questions, and was even more afraid that Bai Ye would suddenly do something out of line, so she quickly said, "Okay, Yusaku. That's it for now. I still need to confirm the details with Bai Ye-kun."

Kudo Yusaku didn't think much about it and responded casually: "Okay, then you can discuss it with Bai Yejun. I'll be busy now. Bye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

……

After hanging up the phone, Yukiko Kudo seemed to have all the strength drained out of her body. She collapsed powerlessly on the cooking table, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

She couldn't help but ask herself over and over again in her heart, what on earth was she doing?
The previous encounters could perhaps be explained as accidents, but the scene just now that was almost completely out of control was difficult to justify in any way.

Moreover, if that phone call hadn't woken her up, she might have...

When she thought of this, her face instantly became hot as if it was burned by fire, and the shame and self-blame in her heart completely drowned her like a surging tide.

However, despite the deep sense of guilt in her heart, she had to admit one thing, that is, in that brief and crazy moment, a hint of expectation actually grew in her heart.

This contradictory and complicated mood was entangled in her heart like a tangled thread, making her feel extremely painful and confused.

Bai Ye looked at her distraught appearance, and a complex look flashed across his eyes, which included a sense of pride after success, and a vague and fleeting pity.

If possible, he didn't want to use such despicable means to deal with Kudo Yukiko.

After all, no matter what, Kudo Yukiko is one of the most outstanding women in the world of "Detective Conan", and she is also a female character he has liked since his previous life.

——Originally, he actually planned to take advantage of the moment when Kudo Yusaku "betrayed" Kudo Yukiko, and then use his sincerity and love to impress Kudo Yukiko and enter her heart in an upright manner.

It’s a pity that fate plays tricks on us and the trajectory of destiny is always unexpected.

Many complicated reasons and helplessness pushed him step by step into the embarrassing situation he is in now.

Now that things have come to this, he can only continue to move forward in the established direction.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Ms. Yukiko, I know you are feeling bad now, but since things have developed to this point, we can only face it."

However, Kudo Yukiko did not respond to him. At this moment, her heart was filled with deep fear of the future and intense hatred for herself.

She hated why her will was so weak, why she fell into such a predicament so easily, and why she couldn't refuse more firmly and stick to her bottom line when facing Bai Ye's relentless pressure.

She raised her head and looked straight at Bai Ye with mixed feelings in her eyes. She was angry at what he had done, but also had an indescribable emotion.

The emergence of this feeling made her feel scared, but at the same time, it seemed to have a mysterious and fatal attraction, attracting her like a magnet, making her deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself...

She didn't know how to deal with the complicated relationship between her and Bai Ye, and how she should face Kudo Yusaku who was completely unaware of the situation.

All these unknowns, like heavy dark clouds, hung heavily over her heart, making her breathless and she couldn't help but fall into an abyss of pain that was extremely oppressive and confused... After a long silence, Kudo Yukiko finally came back to her senses from her deep thoughts, and then cast her eyes on Bai Ye, her beautiful eyes burning with anger, but with deep helplessness, she questioned: "Bai Ye, what do you want? Don't you know that it's easy to be discovered if you do that?"

At this moment, her heart was filled with fear brought about by the thrilling scene just now. At the same time, she felt an uncontrollable shame and anger towards Bai Ye's bold behavior.

Bai Ye shrugged easily, with a seemingly innocent smile on his face, and said slowly: "Don't be so angry, Ms. Yukiko, it's not that we were discovered."

Kudo Yukiko was so angry that she couldn't help but stamp her feet hard. Her exquisite high heels made a crisp sound when they collided with the ground, as if she was venting her inner anger. The shame and anger in her eyes became more and more intense, and she couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Don't go too far! I won't let today's matter go like this!"

Yes, it is true that the "interaction" between her and Bai Ye was not discovered by anyone, but she was almost scared to death by Bai Ye's "prank" just now!

Bai Ye, however, still looked nonchalant and indifferent, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and responded with a hint of joking and ridicule: "Oh? Really? Then I'm very curious, how will Ms. Yukiko 'not give up'? I am looking forward to your 'revenge'."

Kudo Yukiko's kind character means that she will not use any vicious or sinister means of revenge.

And as long as Kudo Yukiko's means of revenge are not too vicious, he is confident that he can deal with it easily.

In other words, he even looked forward to Kudo Yukiko's revenge.

After all, appropriate little frictions and interactions between people can sometimes enhance mutual understanding and make relationships more subtle and interesting.

Who knows, Kudo Yukiko's "revenge" may bring him unexpected surprises.

"you……"

Looking at Bai Ye's nonchalant and playful appearance, Kudo Yukiko became even angrier. She was so angry that she could hardly speak, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.

Because she knew in her heart that given the current situation, she really had no way to deal with Bai Ye for the time being.

Not only that, in the previous confrontation, he had let Bai Ye take considerable advantage of him.

Thinking of this, a deep worry welled up in her heart. She was afraid that if she continued to have contact with Bai Ye like this, she would probably lose more precious things.

Thinking of this, her eyes slightly reddened, and with a tremor in her voice, she asked again: "Why do you have to do this to me? What on earth did I do to provoke you to keep pestering me like this?"

Bai Ye slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked her delicate face, his eyes full of a complex expression of admiration and pity, and said softly: "Who makes you so beautiful and charming, Ms. Yukiko? From the first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you and couldn't extricate myself. Your every frown and smile seems to have magic, making me want to get close to you and want to possess you..."

Yukiko Kudo felt mixed emotions when she heard Bai Ye's confession.

On the one hand, she felt extremely angry and disgusted with Bai Ye's behavior. His actions had seriously violated her bottom line and destroyed her originally peaceful life;

However, on the other hand, deep in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a complex and inexplicable emotion because her charm could attract Bai Ye. This emotion was like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart, making her hate her weakness and vacillation even more, and hate herself for lingering on the edge of such an inappropriate emotion.

She subconsciously wanted to avoid Bai Ye's warm big hand, but she seemed to be restrained by some force and couldn't move at all. "You...you are too ridiculous! There can't be any result between us, you shouldn't have such an idea!"

"Besides, if you do this, it will only make me hate you even more!"

Yukiko Kudo spoke through gritted teeth, trying to make her voice sound firm and powerful, but her slightly trembling tone still revealed her inner panic and helplessness.

Bai Ye was not angry at her words, but smiled gently. In the eyes of Kudo Yukiko, that smile was full of elusive meaning. "Ms. Yukiko, whether you hate it or like it, who can say for sure about emotional matters!"

"What's more, even if I feel disgusted at first, I firmly believe that as time goes by, everything will change quietly. Because time is the most wonderful magician in the world."

"Besides, do you dare to say that you have never developed even the slightest special feeling towards me during your time with me?"

He still stroked her face, looking at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to dig out all the secrets deep in her heart.

Yukiko Kudo's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

She had to admit that although she had not known Bai Ye for a long time, her heart had indeed been stirred during the short time she had been with him, but she had never thought of letting this feeling develop.

Or rather, they dare not.

Because she knew very well that if she allowed this emotion to run rampant, endless pain would be waiting for her, and that would be a burden she could not bear.

"So what if there is?"

She gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said firmly, "I will never let you do this recklessly. Today's matter must stop here!"

She didn't know what would be waiting for her tomorrow, she only clearly realized that she was already stuck in an extremely dangerous quagmire.

And she must do everything she can to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, otherwise, the beautiful life she cherishes will inevitably face a catastrophe...

"That's it? That won't do!"

Bai Ye's fingers slowly slid down Kudo Yukiko's cheek and gently stroked her jaw.

Yukiko Kudo instinctively wanted to struggle and escape, but the force applied by Bai Ye was just right, neither making her resistable nor causing her pain.

His lips were close to her ears, and his deep voice carried a bewitching smile: "Since you have agreed, you can't regret it, Ms. Yukiko."

"Otherwise, I will be angry. You definitely don't want to know what I will do when I am angry..."
