Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 711 Best Friends, One Bed, One Life! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Well……"

The warm breath gently brushed against her sensitive skin, and Ran Mouri couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if a feather had brushed against her heart.

"Cold?"

Bai Ye keenly noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, his tone so gentle it could melt spring snow. At the same time, he instinctively moved closer, shielding her from the chill of the forest with his body, his eyes filled with undisguised concern and deep affection.

Ran Mouri gently shook her head, her fingertips slowly tracing his face, her eyes filled with love and longing, so tender they seemed to drip with affection. "With you by my side, how could I feel cold?"

"It's because your breath is too hot."

She explained softly, her voice exceptionally gentle due to the surge of emotion, carrying a touch of charm and allure she had never shown before.

"Then it seems I'll have to take responsibility for making it even hotter."

Bai Ye's eyes darkened slightly, as if a deeper emotion was surging within them. He suddenly bent down, picked her up in one swift motion, his movements gentle yet powerful, and placed her on a low-hanging, thick tree branch.

The height was just right; Ran Mouri could look him in the eye, and her legs naturally wrapped around his waist.

The two were so close they could almost hear each other's heartbeats, as if their souls were touching at that moment.

Bai Ye's hand slowly moved upwards, igniting flames wherever it touched, stirring up waves of intense heat within her. Ran Mouri trembled slightly, her heart filled with a complex mix of anticipation and nervousness.

"Bai Ye Jun..." she whispered his name, her voice filled with an unprecedented longing, as if she were pouring out the most ardent emotions from the depths of her heart to him.

She never imagined she would do such a thing in this place, at this moment. But in Bai Ye's embrace, all her shyness and worries seemed so insignificant.

“I want to feel your love…” Her voice trembled slightly with emotion, “All your love.”

These words seemed to open a floodgate. Bai Ye's movements suddenly became urgent, yet still tender enough to be intoxicating.

Ran Mouri tilted her head back, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the cherry blossom tree, falling on her slender neck as if gilding her with a soft glow, making her look as beautiful as a dream.

As the petals fluttered down, their figures gradually merged into one.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of their breathing and the occasional soft hum echoing in the breeze, as if telling the story of their deep and passionate love.

After an unknown amount of time, the passion subsided like a receding tide, and the emotions of the two gradually calmed down in the tranquil atmosphere. Ran Mouri, like a lazy kitten, nestled gently in the warm embrace of Shiroya, quietly listening to his gradually steady and strong heartbeat, feeling the warmth emanating from his chest, her heart overflowing with peace and contentment.

Bai Ye gently stroked her long hair, his fingertips weaving through her strands, occasionally lowering his head to place a soft kiss on the top of her head, as if cherishing the most precious treasure in the world.

"Are you alright?" he asked softly, his voice full of concern and pity.

Ran Mouri tilted her head slightly, her delicate, jade-like cheeks flushed with a dreamlike, gentle blush under the sunlight, like a magnificent sunset. Her hand unconsciously caressed her lower abdomen, her eyes a mixture of shyness and sweetness. "Hmm, I feel... even better than I imagined."

She spoke softly, her voice carrying a languid and contented quality, the blush of passion like a delicate flower, adding a unique charm and allure to her already beautiful face.

Bai Ye's lips curled into a doting smile, and he pulled her closer, resting his chin gently on the top of her head as if trying to meld her into his own life. "Me too." He paused, a hint of playful teasing in his voice, "But I really didn't expect you to be so bold, Xiao Lan."

"Hate……"

Ran Mouri gave him a light, playful punch to the chest, though the seemingly angry gesture was weak and more like an affectionate teasing.

Bai Ye reacted swiftly, grabbing her wrist and gently pulling her hand to his lips, placing a deep kiss on her palm. "But I really like it."

He added that his deep eyes were full of tenderness and affection, like a deep and tranquil lake that could gently embrace everything about Ran Mouri, allowing her to feel endless peace and warmth in this lake of love.

Ran Mouri blushed slightly, gently bit her lip, and said with a unique charm that was a mixture of coquettishness and shyness in her eyes, "It's all because of you... that I became so brave."

To be honest, not only was Bai Ye incredulous, but even she herself found it hard to believe that she was the one who had just made such a bold move.

However, she does not regret it.

Because Bai Ye is willing to do anything she likes.

Thinking of this, she slightly raised her head, her gaze meeting Bai Ye's like water, her eyes filled with deep love. "Being with you, I feel like I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I just want to experience all the beautiful things with you, whether it's a sunny day or a stormy night."

Bai Ye was slightly taken aback, as if Ran Mouri's affectionate words had struck the softest corner of his heart. A deep emotion welled up in his eyes, and he gently cupped Ran's face in his hands, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. His fingertips tenderly caressed her cheeks, as if feeling her heartbeat and warmth. His voice was low and sincere, a heartfelt confession from the depths of his soul: "Ran... when you say that, I can't help but want to hide you away, to make you belong to me alone forever."

Ran chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling. She gently wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her face against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered, "I don't want to be hidden away by you. I want to stand by your side, face this world with you, share both joy and sorrow." "Okay, then together. Whatever the future holds, I will never let you face it alone again. I will always protect you, just as you protect me." Bai Ye looked down at her, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. He leaned down slightly and pressed his deeply affectionate lips to hers with an incredibly gentle kiss, as if conveying all his love through that kiss. "Because, I love you, Ran."

"These three words are not just a sentence, but a vow I make to you for life."

“I love you too,” Ran Mouri replied without hesitation, her eyes shining with a firm and bright light, like the most brilliant and dazzling star in the night sky, illuminating their world together. “More than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow. Every day, my love for you will be deeper than the day before, like a river that never runs dry, flowing endlessly until eternity.”

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the slight chill of early autumn, like a tender caress from nature. But the warmth of their tight embrace was enough to ward off any cold; their love burned like a blazing fire, warming their hearts.

In this quiet and loving forest, their love found its most authentic and purest expression—not only a deep understanding of each other's souls, but also an intimate fusion of bodies, complete and beautiful.

After a while, the two carefully tidied each other's clothes, then held hands and walked slowly and gracefully out of the woods.

At this moment, the sunlight generously shone on them, gilding the lovers who were immersed in love with a golden halo, as if nature were sending the most beautiful blessing to their love.

Ran Mouri would steal glances at Byakuya beside her every now and then, her eyes filled with love and shyness.

She noticed that Bai Ye was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and it was as if time stood still for that moment.

They smiled at each other, their smiles as radiant as flowers blooming in spring. Then, they tacitly intertwined their fingers, as if to bind their destinies together.

“Next time…” Ran Mouri suddenly spoke, her voice filled with shy anticipation, “we can bring Sonoko along to play…”

She bit her lip slightly, looking away, seemingly embarrassed to meet Bai Ye's gaze.

Actually, it's not that she doesn't want to spend quality time with her boyfriend.

However, Bai Ye's love for her was too deep and intense. The overwhelming love sometimes made her feel breathless in the vortex of happiness. When she was alone with this heavy burden, she was filled with emotion, but she also felt a little burdened.

Moreover, in Ran Mouri's heart, her best friend Sonoko is an indispensable part of her life, someone who should be by her side for life, no matter how time goes by. That deep friendship, like fine wine, becomes better with age, and she hopes that Sonoko can be a part of every beautiful moment in her life!
After all, best friends should stay by each other's side for life, right?

Bai Ye paused for a moment, clearly surprised by the suggestion. Then, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, a laugh filled with warmth and affection. "Looks like I've corrupted you."

She has actually learned to share and is no longer possessive of her food like before. It seems that his doting on her during this period has finally made his girlfriend more "open-minded".

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Ran Mouri's hand, his eyes full of love and doting. "But I'm really looking forward to it."

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, Ran Mouri felt a tightness around her waist as strong arms wrapped around her tightly, as if trying to integrate her into their own life.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the two people.

Ran Mouri felt Byakuya's fingers gently caressing her waist. The delicate and warm touch was like a gentle key that instantly unlocked the floodgates of her memory, making her involuntarily recall the shivers that had swept over her skin like feathers under the cherry blossom tree.

Her breath hitched as those absurd memories of their passionate encounters under the cherry blossoms flooded her mind like a tidal wave. The thick branch seemed to still be clearly pressing against her waist, and the sounds of their breaths, mingled with the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms, seemed to still linger in her ears, impossible to shake off.

"Wait, wait..." Ran Mouri frantically reached out, trying to stop his restless hand, but her wrist was easily grabbed by Bai Ye, and then she was gently but irresistibly pressed against the tree trunk.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Ye's voice carried a hint of laughter, like a warm spring breeze. The warm breath gently brushed against her ear, making her heart tremble slightly.

Ran Mouri's cheeks flushed crimson like a ripe apple. She quickly turned her face away, trying to hide her shyness, but the unintentional upward curve of her lips betrayed the sweetness in her heart. "N-nothing..." Her voice was barely audible, as if it would dissipate into the air with a gentle breath. At the same time, her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of Byakuya's clothes.

Bai Ye chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I was thinking about what you were doing just now..."

"Don't say it!" Ran Mouri hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth with a mixture of urgency and shyness, as if this would stop the words that made her blush from coming out.

However, as if he had expected it, Bai Ye gently grasped her wrist, his movements soft yet irresistible, and placed an incredibly gentle kiss on her palm.

His lips were warm and soft. In an instant, the image of those lips igniting flames on her body flashed through Ran's mind. That burning sensation seemed to surge back into her heart, causing ripples to spread across her soul.

"Now you know how to be shy?" Bai Ye chuckled softly, gently nibbling her earlobe, clearly feeling the trembling of the person in his arms. "Just now in the tree..."

"Don't say it! Don't say it!" Ran buried her face in his chest, as if trying to hide herself in this warm and safe haven. But her ears, burning hot almost to the point of bleeding, couldn't hide her shyness. Just then, a sudden idea struck her, and she changed the subject as if grasping at a straw. Her voice muffled by his clothes, she mumbled, "Sonoko said last time... she wanted to see you wear that black shirt..."

“Fine, I won’t say.” A sly glint flashed in Bai Ye’s eyes. “However…”

He deliberately dragged out his words, his magnetic voice seemingly possessing a bewitching magic that made Ran Mouri's heart involuntarily clench. He gently lifted a strand of her hair with his fingers, slowly twirling it around his fingertips. "That black shirt Sonoko wanted to see, I could wear it for her."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, immediately raised her head, a possessiveness that she herself was unaware of flashing in her eyes.

Even though Sonoko is her best friend of many years with whom she has a deep friendship, some things belong only to her and Byakuya, and no one else is allowed to covet them!
