Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 680 Yukiko's heart-throbbing moment! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Oh? You only have disgust towards me?"

Bai Ye was slightly startled after being pushed away by her, but he regained his cynical and playful expression in an instant. He crossed his arms leisurely, his eyes fell on Kudo Yukiko, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Maybe everything is as you said. But, Ms. Yukiko..."

He leaned forward slightly, put his face close to Kudo Yukiko's ear, and smiled meaningfully, "You may have forgotten that at that moment just now, you didn't refuse, right?"

If at that critical moment, Kudo Yukiko could push him away with a decisive and resolute attitude, then he would definitely stop without hesitation.

After all, if he really made Kudo Yukiko feel disgusted, or even developed resistance and hatred towards her, it would undoubtedly be an insurmountable obstacle to his plan to completely win the heart of the Teitan Princess.

He is not the kind of shallow person who only seeks short-term pleasure and quick success, so how could he destroy everything he has carefully planned with his own hands?

It's a pity that at that critical moment, Kudo Yukiko did not refuse. Even in his keen perception, the other party seemed to be still immersed in it and unable to extricate herself.

Since the other party has no intention of resisting, there is no need for him to deliberately display his so-called gentlemanly manners and destroy this perfect atmosphere.

Bai Ye's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Kudo Yukiko's heart hard, causing her heart to tremble violently.

Her originally rosy face instantly turned as pale as snow as if the tide had receded. Her lips trembled uncontrollably. She wanted to refute, but found that her throat seemed to be choked by an invisible rope and she could not make a strong sound.

Because Bai Ye's words accurately hit the corner of her heart that she was most unwilling to admit - at that moment, she did involuntarily acquiesce in the kiss that should not have happened, and even acquiesced in Bai Ye's subsequent increasingly bold actions.

"shut up!!"

After realizing this, Kudo Yukiko screamed almost hysterically. The sharp voice cut through the originally quiet air, as if she wanted to dispel the panic and guilt that lingered in her heart. "Don't say it anymore! This... this is just a mistake! A mistake... a mistake that should never and must not happen again!"

"Perhaps, this is indeed a mistake that should not have happened..."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, that action carried a hint of unruliness and temptation, but his eyes were always fixed on her face, as if he wanted to capture every subtle change in her expression, and thus see the secrets hidden in her heart at a glance.

"but……"

He quietly watched Kudo Yukiko's fingers trembling so nervously that she could hardly hold the phone steadily, and watched the guilt, panic and indescribable complex emotions flashing in her eyes. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and then his slender and elegant fingers gently lifted Kudo Yukiko's chin, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were fiery and firm, as if to burn her whole body to ashes. "Ms. Yukiko, deep down in your heart, you actually expect all this, don't you?"

If he hadn't realized this, he wouldn't have been so bold.

After all, although Princess Kudo Yukiko of Teitan is beautiful and charming, he is not the kind of man who likes to force others to submit.

In comparison, he is more keen on using his unique and irresistible charm to gradually open the hearts of the women he likes, and to fully enjoy the wonderful feeling brought about by mutual affection and mutual understanding.

Outside the French window, the sunset glows like a gorgeous painting, wantonly dyeing half of the sky. The gorgeous colors are like the strongest and brightest paints that nature has used to paint. The red is like fire, the orange is like gold, and the pink is like clouds. They interweave and set off each other, forming a magnificent and beautiful scenery that is like a dream and extremely beautiful.

Yukiko Kudo's eyes were inadvertently attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window. In a trance, she seemed to have traveled through a deep tunnel of time, and her thoughts instantly drifted back to the set of the filming of "White Princess" more than ten years ago.

The film set at that time also had such a breathtakingly gorgeous sunset.

At that time, she stood gracefully under the bright and dazzling spotlight, just like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a dazzling and charming light all over her body, enjoying the love and pursuit from all over the world.

She is the focus of everyone's attention and the well-deserved queen of the stage. Everything seems so beautiful and pure, full of dreamy colors.

But now, standing in front of Bai Ye, a man who is more than ten years younger than her, she was like a young girl who was experiencing emotional ups and downs for the first time. She was completely at a loss and panic. This unprecedented and unique experience was the first time for her in her long life.

"I...I...wasn't expecting that!"

When these words came out of Kudo Yukiko's mouth with difficulty, even she herself was keenly aware of the unconcealable hesitation in her words, as well as the hint of shyness.

Bai Ye chuckled softly, and the sound was like a feather brushing against her ears, with a hint of teasing and mockery, "Oh? You really don't have any expectations?"

"Then why does your heartbeat tell me that you don't think so?"

Yukiko Kudo couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, as if trying to suppress the complex emotions surging in her heart like turbulent waves.

Reason was shouting in her mind like a crazy alarm bell, urging her to leave Bai Ye quickly and leave this dangerous man, but her body seemed to betray her firm will again, and she still stood there stupidly, unable to move.

"Ha ha……"

Bai Ye looked at her like this, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense, as if he had a cunning smile that could see through people's hearts. He lowered his head slightly, his lips almost touching Kudo Yukiko's delicate jade-like cheek, and whispered: "Yukiko, you don't have to deny it in a hurry. I can feel the entanglement and struggle in your heart. In fact, you don't hate me as much as you say, right?"

Yukiko Kudo's breathing became more and more rapid. She could clearly feel Bai Ye's warm breath spraying on her cheeks, like sparks, constantly teasing her already extremely tense nerves.

Her mind was in a mess, and reason and emotion were engaged in a fierce tug-of-war deep in her heart, which made her fall into a painful choice.

She quickly closed her eyes, trying to block out Bai Ye's aggressive gaze and words, as if this could help her escape from everything in front of her.

"You... stop talking nonsense!"

She spoke through gritted teeth, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her inner panic.

"How could I possibly be attracted to you! No...I'm not!"

Her voice was tearful, but she seemed to lack confidence due to the indescribable complex emotions.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. She felt ashamed of Bai Ye's straightforward words and hated herself for her inner hesitation.

"Moreover, you actually used such a despicable method to force me. Is this what you call love?" She gritted her teeth and said, but her voice was shaken without her even noticing. The knuckles of her clenched hands turned bluish-white on the edge of the counter because of the force. "How could I possibly be attracted to a despicable person like you!"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth with difficulty. However, when she met Bai Ye's playful gaze, all her anger and resistance seemed to collapse in an instant.

"mean?"

Bai Ye's slender fingers tapped lightly on the marble countertop. The regular tapping sound was like a countdown pendulum, hitting Kudo Yukiko's fragile nerves one by one. He suddenly leaned over and approached, his warm breath brushed past her ears, with a hint of ambiguity and danger: "I'm just collecting the due reward!"

"Since you promised me, you should fulfill your promise. Isn't this only natural?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, and his smiling voice was sharp, like an invisible knife, piercing Kudo Yukiko's heart, "Or... Yukiko, rather than obediently fulfilling my promise, do you expect me to collect the penalty in other ways?"

Yukiko Kudo felt a panic in her heart. She didn't know what Bai Ye meant by "other ways", but her intuition told her that it must not be a good thing.

She subconsciously wanted to step back, but her lower back hit the cold edge of the kitchen counter, leaving her with nowhere to go.

The ridiculous conditions that he was forced to agree to during the phone call just now flashed through his mind, and his numb nerves were now sounding the alarm frantically.

She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her slightly hot earlobe, but the moment she raised her hand, Bai Ye quickly grabbed her wrist and pressed it hard against the wall above her head.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I will prepare a honeymoon suite for the hot spring hotel." Bai Ye's thumb gently stroked the beating pulse on her wrist, feeling the increasingly faster frequency under his fingertips, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Or..."

He suddenly lowered his head slowly, his nose almost touching the pale blue veins on the side of her neck. His warm breath sprayed on her skin, making her shiver. "Can we preview tomorrow's class now?"

"wait wait wait!"

In panic, Kudo Yukiko kicked the shopping bag at her feet, and the freshly purchased ingredients instantly rolled to the ground.

The tomato smashed hard on the tile, and the bright red juice spread on the ground just like her exploding shame.

Because she was horrified to find that as Bai Ye pressed on step by step, her resistance was gradually crumbling, and an indescribable emotion was quietly growing in her heart, making her feel both scared and helpless.

She suddenly grabbed Bai Ye's big hand with force, and a stubborn light flashed in her moist eyes, like a faint star twinkling in the darkness: "At least... at least wait until tomorrow..."

Bai Ye paused. He stared at the woman in front of him, who was pretending to be calm even though her fingertips were trembling. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly laughed softly, "Okay."

After saying that, he unexpectedly loosened his grip on Kudo Yukiko, and even considerately took a half step back with a faint smile on his face, "Please do as you please."

Yukiko Kudo was stunned, and her hands hanging in the air curled up helplessly, as if she was still in the state of being imprisoned just now.

She originally thought that she would be treated more rudely, but Bai Ye's unusual gentlemanly behavior at this moment made her feel complicated.

There was a sense of relief, but also a sense of loss, as if all my expectations had been dashed.

At the same time, in this chaotic and complicated emotion, she actually developed a faint affection for Bai Ye, which made her feel even more confused and self-blaming. The contradiction in her heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning her...

In a trance, Kudo Yukiko stood there blankly, her mind blank and her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She didn't know how to deal with this sudden change, let alone how to cope with the upcoming hot spring trip tomorrow.

Bai Ye put his hands in his pockets and looked at her quietly, with an elusive smile in his eyes. He seemed to enjoy seeing Kudo Yukiko so flustered, and was looking forward to spending time with her in the hot spring hotel tomorrow.

After a long time, Kudo Yukiko finally came to her senses. She bit her lip, trying to calm herself down, and said, "You...you'd better keep your word."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. But, Ms. Yukiko, don't forget our agreement."

Kudo Yukiko did not respond. She turned around and silently began to clean up the scattered ingredients on the ground, trying to use busyness to cover up her inner panic.

Bai Ye stood quietly by the side, watching her every move without saying anything.

After Kudo Yukiko finished cleaning up, Bai Ye spoke again: "Well, Ms. Yukiko, I'll go out first, and I'll wait for you downstairs. The bathroom is on the right side of the living room, remember to clean yourself up, and don't let Conan and the others see any clues."

After that, Bai Ye turned and walked towards the living room. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said, "By the way, when we go on a date tomorrow, I suggest you wear that dark blue dress. It suits you very well."

"Boom..."

With the crisp sound of the door closing, Kudo Yukiko could no longer hold on, her body slowly slid down the wall, and finally sat down on the ground weakly.

Her fingertips trembled as they touched her pink lips, where the scent of the white night still lingered.

This breath made her feel both strange and familiar. What was strange was the sudden close contact, but what was familiar was the unspeakable throbbing deep in her heart.

She didn't understand why she should feel angry and humiliated about what had just happened, but an indescribable throbbing surged in her heart.

What's even more frightening is that she actually began to look forward to the hot spring trip tomorrow...

Outside the window, the afterglow of dusk is gradually fading, and the originally brilliant colors are slowly being swallowed up by the darkness, as if putting an extremely heavy end to this chaotic and tangled day.

Yukiko Kudo stared at her blushing face on the phone screen with a dull look. She didn't know whether the blush on her cheeks was due to the emotional fluctuations just now or the complicated feelings in her heart. For the first time, her willpower was deeply shaken, and it was also the first time she regretted from the bottom of her heart that she should not have come back to the country on a whim just to tease Conan.

Because, at this point, she no longer knew whether this "adventure" was a prank on Conan... or a test for herself...
