Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 682 Conan: Am I also a part of your play? (Monthly vote requested!)
When Kudo Yukiko heard this, a blush quickly appeared on her face even though she was covered by exquisite makeup.

She subconsciously touched the spare anesthetic hidden in her sleeve, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

This man was too dangerous. He could always, in a silent but extremely lethal way, easily pierce through her carefully disguised calmness and expose the panic deep in her heart.

In front of the other person, she seemed to have been stripped of all her protective shells and had no secrets at all.

This feeling made her angry, but also brought with it a hint of inexplicable panic and shyness.

"Stop talking nonsense here," she lowered her voice and glanced at the unconscious Conan warily. Her originally delicate earlobes were now suspiciously flushed. "If it weren't for some bastard in the kitchen... doing something wrong, would I have been too late to prepare a spare anesthetic needle?"

"kitchen?"

Bai Ye suddenly came closer without warning, and the hem of his black windbreaker lightly brushed Conan's face. He deliberately whispered something that only the two of them could hear: "I thought Miss Yukiko liked the leather sofa in my living room more..."

"!!!"

Yukiko Kudo's breathing suddenly stopped, and those deliberately sealed memories came flooding back like a tide - the subtle touch brought by Bai Ye's slender fingers when they gently stroked her waist; the fresh minty scent when their lips and teeth intertwined; and the ridiculous promise that made her feel embarrassed and annoyed, but she reluctantly agreed to it.

Every scene was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard and making her heartbeat go out of control in an instant.

She could clearly feel her heart beating violently in her chest, as if it was about to break through her chest and jump out.

"You...!" Kudo Yukiko was both ashamed and angry. She suddenly reached out to push Bai Ye. However, when her slender hand touched his solid chest, he grabbed her wrist tightly.

The scorching heat from the man's palm quickly passed through the thin fabric, numbing her fingertips. It was as if the sanity she had managed to maintain with great difficulty would melt in the heat, making her completely lost in this ambiguous atmosphere.

Bai Ye chuckled, and the laughter seemed particularly ambiguous in this silent space. His fingertips gently caressed the beating pulse on her wrist, feeling the rapid rhythm, "Your heartbeat is so fast? It seems that Miss Yukiko is looking forward to tomorrow's hot spring date."

"Who, who is looking forward to it!" Kudo Yukiko turned her face away in panic, trying to hide her embarrassment, but the pink color on her neck exposed her true emotions. "That was just... just to gain your trust and act with you..."

"Oh?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, the smile on his face became more intense, and suddenly leaned over to her ear and whispered: "Then why did you close your eyes obediently when I pretended to kiss you on the way to Dr. Agasa's house just now?"

To be honest, even he himself had not expected that in such a situation, Kudo Yukiko would close her eyes on her own initiative.

It must be said that the other party's reaction really surprised him.

As for whether he kissed her in the end?

Of course I kissed her!
After all, in that kind of atmosphere, facing such an attractive and rarely proactive Kudo Yukiko, it would be a pity if you accidentally missed her.

This sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded in Kudo Yukiko's ears. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of panic and shame flashed in her eyes.

In a rage and humiliation, she raised her knee without thinking and attacked the man's most vulnerable position, trying to escape this embarrassing situation and defend her last bit of dignity.

Bai Ye seemed to have anticipated this. He nimbly dodged to the side and hugged her tighter.

At the moment when their bodies were pressed tightly together, they could each clearly feel the other's suddenly accelerated heartbeat, like an intense drumbeat, beating on this ambiguous and tense atmosphere, as if to ignite this silent space and make the ambiguous factor in the air even stronger.

The sound of that heartbeat, like a war drum, struck their hearts again and again, making their emotions more and more agitated.

"What a naughty cat." Bai Ye whispered like a sigh, his voice full of doting. He gently lifted a strand of Kudo Yukiko's long hair that was as brown as silk and gently twisted it around his fingertips a few times, "But... I like it more."

Yukiko Kudo was both ashamed and angry, her cheeks flushed red like a ripe apple. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Bai Ye's strong arms, but found that her resistance seemed so powerless under his control.

"Let me go!"

She lowered her voice and spoke angrily, but there was an unconscious tremor in her voice. She didn't know whether the tremor came from anger or other unspeakable throbbing.

Perhaps even she herself couldn't figure out where these complicated emotions came from, and just let them tangle like a tangled mess in her heart.

Bai Ye looked at her like this, his smile became even more intense, but he did not let go of her hand. Instead, he hugged her tighter, almost embedding her in his arms. "Yukiko, stop struggling. You know you can't escape."

He whispered in her ear, his warm breath hitting her sensitive earlobe and causing her to shiver.

Kudo Yukiko was filled with shame and indignation, but she couldn't break free, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Bai Ye, don't go too far! We still have important things to do now. If you do this again, I...I will never let you go!"

She tried to make her voice sound stronger, trying to regain a trace of dignity and control in this chaotic situation, but her slightly trembling tone ruthlessly revealed her inner panic and helplessness.

Bai Ye looked at her like this, with a smile in his eyes, but he also realized that he couldn't continue teasing her. After all, if he continued to bully a certain brown-haired lady, she might really get angry. "Okay, Ms. Yukiko, I know the severity of the situation. Let's get back to the topic. Next, we should discuss how to tease Conan and make him believe that the two of us are members of the Black Organization."

As he spoke, there was a hint of seriousness in his voice, as if at this moment, he had finally shifted his attention from the ambiguous situation in front of him to the business at hand. "You also know that Conan is a mischievous little guy. Ordinary methods cannot deceive him."

Kudo Yukiko took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down, trying to regain her former elegance and composure, "Humph, this is more like it."

At this point, she couldn't help but glared at Bai Ye angrily, but the pure anger was gone from her eyes. Instead, she was filled with a complex emotion of helplessness and shyness. "Why don't you let me go?"

"Let go of you..."

Bai Ye loosened his grip slightly, but still did not completely let go of Kudo Yukiko. He still maintained a distance from her, allowing Kudo Yukiko to clearly feel the warmth emanating from his body and the lingering, faint scent of cologne.

The fragrance was like an invisible and flexible silk thread, gently wrapping around her, causing ripples in her heart again.

"But..." His fingertips brushed her collarbone lightly, the light touch was like the brush of a feather, but it also carried an indescribable ambiguous feeling, "I will return the hug you gave me today double on tomorrow's date." Kudo Yukiko's face instantly turned redder, like clouds dyed by the setting sun. But seeing Bai Ye's sure look, she felt ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but say, "You... don't be too proud! I may not go to tomorrow's hot spring date!"

As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly, trying not to lose momentum.

"Oh?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and his slender fingers gently lifted her smooth chin, "Ms. Yukiko, do you mean to break the contract?"

Feeling the warmth from her fingertips, Kudo Yukiko suddenly felt weak in her heart, but her stubbornness made her still stubborn and refused to give in. She gritted her teeth and responded with a stiff upper lip, "No...that's right!"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became more dangerous, "It seems that in order to not let my anticipated hot spring trip go to waste, I have to let the willful Ms. Yukiko know how serious the consequences of breaking your promise are!"

As he spoke, he slowly took a step forward, and the sense of oppression emanating from his body became stronger and stronger, as if to condense the air around him.

"Wait... I'm kidding..."

Seeing this, Kudo Yukiko panicked and had a bad premonition in her heart. However, before she could finish her words, the next moment, Bai Ye's kiss fell like a storm, blocking her lips accurately and swallowing up all the words she had not yet uttered.

This kiss was different from the previous gentle one. It was powerful and irresistible, as if it wanted to capture her soul as well.

Yukiko Kudo opened her eyes wide and placed her hands helplessly on Bai Ye's chest, but she slowly softened as the kiss deepened, and finally she unconsciously clutched his collar.

I don’t know how long it took, as if time had stopped at this moment, and as if a century had passed, Bai Ye finally let her go slowly.

Yukiko Kudo's face was red, like a ripe red apple, she gasped for breath, her eyes were full of shame and panic. She tried to use anger to cover up her inner panic, but found that her threat sounded more like a spoiled child, "You...how could you do this!"

Bai Ye raised a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth and gently wiped away the moisture from the corner of her mouth. The action seemed gentle, but it was more like a provocation.

Then he tilted his head slightly, looked at Kudo Yukiko with a half-smile, his eyes full of ridicule, "Ms. Yukiko, are you still thinking of breaking the contract now?"

Kudo Yukiko was furious and annoyed. She couldn't help but stare at Bai Ye fiercely, trying to convey her dissatisfaction and anger to him with her eyes, "You...you just wait!"

However, a strange emotion surged in her heart, and she herself couldn't tell whether it was anger or some other more complicated emotion.

Bai Ye saw this and sighed deliberately, "Ms. Yukiko, you seem very unconvinced! It seems that my kiss just now was too light and not deep enough!"

As he spoke, he pretended to take action again.

Seeing that Bai Ye seemed to really intend to force a kiss on her, Kudo Yukiko panicked instantly and quickly gave in, "I was wrong, is it okay if I was wrong? I will go obediently tomorrow..."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile on his face and doubt in his eyes, "Really? Why don't I believe it?"

Kudo Yukiko nodded hurriedly, fearing that Bai Ye would not believe her, "Really! I'm not lying to you!"

"Empty words!"

Bai Ye touched his chin and pondered for a moment. "Since this is not the first time that Ms. Yukiko has gone back on her word, in order to prevent my long-awaited hot spring trip from being ruined, I think it would be better to leave some proof. Otherwise, who knows if Ms. Yukiko will suddenly go back on her word again!"

When he said this, he paused, deliberately lengthened his tone, and his eyes revealed ill intentions, "Or, if Ms. Yukiko doesn't mind, I can change the date location."

"For example..." He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked around, and said meaningfully with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "This place is pretty good!"

"What did you say? Here?!"

When Kudo Yukiko heard this, her face instantly turned red to her ears. She could not believe her ears.

"No!" Her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, her eyes full of shock and resistance. "Absolutely not!"

What a joke, how could she agree to go on a date with Bai Ye here.

You know, this is near Dr. Agasa's house, and someone may come to check at any time. Plus, Conan is lying quietly beside him, and he might wake up at any time.

Unless she is really out of her mind, she would not choose this place as the new date location!
Compared to this, she would rather agree to Bai Ye's other condition.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, with a hint of desperateness in her tone, and said helplessly, "Tell me, what proof do you want?"

Bai Ye raised his lips slightly, revealing a wicked smile, "Of course, I can prove that you, Ms. Yukiko, will not regret it again!"

"How about this, Ms. Yukiko, if you take the initiative to kiss me, I will believe that you will not break your promise again!"

As he spoke, he deliberately tapped his lips, his eyes full of anticipation and teasing.

"Otherwise..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, full of threat, "I can only review tomorrow's class here in advance with Ms. Yukiko!"

"A kiss?"

Yukiko Kudo widened her eyes, feeling shy and conflicted.

He didn't want to agree to Bai Ye's excessive condition, but he was worried that Bai Ye would really do something more outrageous here.

She took a deep breath, struggled for a moment, and finally grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands nervously, then slowly moved closer...
