Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 32 Thief Cao is actually by my side?
  "Um……"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan's eyes slowly dimmed.

Why didn't her mother know that she was in such a bad mood?
  Of course it was because of a quarrel with her father.

——Her father, Mouri Kogoro, and her mother, Concubine Eri, were childhood sweethearts, but they are currently separated for some reasons.

He was originally a criminal police officer in the 10nd Fire Division and st Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. He resigned after experiencing a certain case years ago and changed his career to become a private detective.

However, although her father became a private detective, he rarely achieved good results over the years. He drank heavily all day long and often covered the table with used wine bottles, cigarette butts, and newspapers. On weekdays, I also like smoking, gambling (mostly horse racing), playing mahjong, and looking at beautiful women.

And all of this, no matter what it is, is enough to cause her mother to quarrel with her!

After all, no woman can allow her significant other to be such a man!
  Originally, the two of them often quarreled, but as a daughter, she was used to it.

But, recently, she found that the situation had changed.

Not only did her mother rarely talk to her father on the phone anymore, but she also rarely mentioned her father when chatting with her. It was as if she had completely given up on him. Instead, the person who often appeared in the other party's mouth was a A boy named Byakuya Aozaki.

As a daughter, it is really hard for her not to worry about something like this!
  After all, in this situation, it looks like her mother has a new love.

Although, she later discovered that it was actually a misunderstanding. Her mother was not looking for a partner for herself, but for her as a daughter.

But no matter what, when her mother mentioned the boy named Byakuya Aozaki, she beamed with joy, and she no longer mentioned topics related to her father. Such changes really made her have to be on guard!
  This is why she insisted on continuing to chat with Bai Ye regardless of her childhood sweetheart's expression.

Seeing their best friend (friend) looking depressed, Suzuki Sonoko and Wada Haruna looked at each other and couldn't help but feel worried, "Xiaolan, are you okay?"

Kudo Shinichi on the side couldn't care less about being jealous and asked worriedly, "Xiaolan..."

Noticing the worried looks of several people, Mao Lilan forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

How could it be okay!
  The thought of her parents' marriage being completely broken made her extremely distraught.

Just to avoid worrying a few people, she could only pretend to be fine.

Seeing that Mao Lilan's smile was a little forced, Bai Ye tilted her head and said, "If Miss Xiaolan, you are worried about the relationship between your father and Sister Yingli, then I think you don't need to be so worried."

Hearing this, not only Mao Lilan, but also Kudo Shinichi and others couldn't help but cast curious eyes, "Huh?"

They were a little curious as to why someone would say that.

The corner of Bai Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and she said decisively, "Because, for a lovely, gentle, kind, and beautiful person like Miss Xiaolan, I don't think anyone is willing to be sad!"

Listening to Bai Ye's praise, Mao Lilan's little face turned red instantly, "Ao Qi-kun, you..."

Kudo Shinichi's expression darkened, and he suddenly felt that the top of his head was a little heavy.

This bastard actually acted like an arsonist in front of him. How could he bear it?
  If I endured it any longer, it wouldn't be that there was a little weight on my head, but my whole head would turn green.

"Xiaolan Yuanzi, please wait for me for a moment."

After that, without waiting for the two people to answer, they quickly pulled Bai Ye towards the side.

"Mr. Aozaki, let's go aside and talk!!!"

……

Walking to a remote corner, Bai Ye slapped away Kudo Shinichi's hand that was holding him, and then looked at him with a strange expression.

"I don't know, little brother Kudo, do you have anything to say to me?"

Looking deeply at Byakuya, Kudo Shinichi took a deep breath, and then asked the question in his heart, "Mr. Aosaki, you...are you really interested in Xiaolan..." Byakuye tilted his head, with a look on his face. Doubts and puzzlements: "What happened to Miss Mori?"

Seeing that he was actually pretending to be stupid now, Kudo Shinto was furious.

This guy clearly knows what he means, but he's still pretending!
  How abominable!
  However, in order to find out the other party's true thoughts from Bai Ye, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and asked, "What do you think of Xiaolan?"

Bai Ye pursed her lips, and then said with a serious face: "She is a very kind and beautiful girl. She is in line with my aesthetics, and she is also the person I want to protect."

Whether it was his friendship with Fei Yingli or the concern of a hot woman, he had to protect Mao Lilan well.

Not to mention, he actually likes Mao Lilan, a beautiful girl who is loyal to love!
  Kudo Shinichi: "!!!"

grass! Stone hammer!
  This thief Sun really wants to love him!

"Mr. Kudo, do you have any more questions?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, "If there is no problem, then I will go back first!"

"I still have some things that I want to talk to Miss Xiaolan about!"

After saying that, Bai Ye turned around and left.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi hurriedly ran to him and stopped him, "Hey, you can't do this!"

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's appearance, Bai Ye looked at him with a playful expression, "It can't be like this? What do you mean when you say this?"

Kudo Shinichi wanted to vomit blood: "Xiaolan has a boyfriend, you can't attack her!"

"Huh? Does Miss Xiaolan have a boyfriend? Why haven't I heard Sister Yingli mention this? Are you lying to me?"

Bai Ye curled her lips, "However, if you think about it carefully, it would actually be pretty good if Miss Xiaolan had a boyfriend, or in other words, that would be better!"

"???"

Is there something wrong with this person?

Thief Cao is actually by my side?
  Kudo Shinichi was completely stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing him doubting his life, Bai Ye couldn't help laughing, "Haha... you don't really believe it, do you?"

"I didn't expect that the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi would be so easy to deceive!"

When he said this, Bai Ye paused for a moment, and then said with a serious face, "Don't worry, I won't take action against Miss Xiaolan!"

At least not now!

Kudo Shinichi looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Bai Ye nodded heavily, "Of course it's true, I never lie!"

As he spoke, Bai Ye looked upright, as if he were an upright gentleman.

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

In short, no matter whether what the other party said is true or false, he will not let the other party get close to his Xiaolan easily!

I have decided to think of a way to take Xiaolan away from here after a while!
