After "Shinichi" and Ran returned, Conan immediately found him and said, "Shinichi, I have something to say to you!"
"Just a moment." Yukiko, disguised as "Shinichi," said goodbye to Ran before following Conan away.
When they were sure no one was around, Yukiko couldn't wait to report her progress, saying, "Shinichi, things are going really well between me and Ran! I've started talking to her about things from the past."
"Once we gradually get back that old feeling, then we can move on to the next step!"
"I'm very confident I can win Ran over within these two weeks!"
The reason she was so confident was because Shinichi and Ran grew up together and had a solid emotional foundation!
This was a huge advantage!
It was just that her son was foolish, always treating Ran as a playmate, a friend, an acquaintance, and was always too embarrassed to put her in the position of a lover!
Just by changing the perspective and treating Ran as a girlfriend in their daily interactions, treating her the way you would treat a lover, the situation would quickly turn around.
Taking her to eat and drink in other places, starting in Tokyo, then playing in the small towns near Tokyo.
After that, they would go to further places like Osaka and Kyoto, naturally staying overnight there, and opening one room under the excuse of saving money. With Ran's thrifty personality, she definitely wouldn't refuse.
When they were staying in the same room, wouldn't it be easy to win her over?
Thinking of this, Yukiko couldn't help but clench her fists, a victorious smile playing on her lips, seeing victory beckoning to her!
However, one sentence from Conan directly shattered her grand plan!
"Conan's Mom, I thought about it, and I think we should just forget it," Conan said in a calm tone.
"Huh?" Yukiko was stunned for a moment, surprised. "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I think it's too early to be thinking about these things," Conan said seriously. "Let's wait until I change back... It's still unknown if I can even change back!"
"If I can't change back, wouldn't I be holding Ran back?"
Hearing this, Yukiko patiently tried to persuade him. "Even if you can't change back, it's okay! You're seven now, and Ran is only sixteen. There's only a nine-year difference!"
"These days, not to mention a nine-year difference between couples, there are plenty of people with a nineteen-year difference!"
"As long as it's true love, age is not a problem, height is not a distance, region is not a difference, weight is not pressure, and gender doesn't matter!"
Facing this argument, Conan's heart wavered slightly, feeling that it seemed quite reasonable.
But he quickly changed his mind, then shook his head vehemently, stating firmly, "No... I don't want to waste Ran's youth!"
Yukiko immediately noticed Conan's unusual behavior, not understanding why his thoughts had suddenly changed.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did that friend of yours say something to you?"
Conan didn't hide anything and repeated what Baishi Hui had said to him.
"Did he really say that?" Yukiko was very surprised after hearing it.
You couldn't say something like that without a certain amount of life experience!
Had this child experienced so much at such a young age?
"Yes, really!" Conan felt that what the other person said made sense, and immediately said, "Regarding Ran's matter, Mother, you don't need to help. I've decided that before I solve my own problems, I will absolutely not consider romantic relationships!"
"Shinichi, that's just his own idea, you don't have to impose it on yourself," Yukiko advised kindly. "You just need to be yourself!"
As a mature woman, Yukiko often frequented high-end events and even mingled in the entertainment industry, seeing all sorts of men.
She hadn't spent much time with Baishi Hui, but she could tell that he was very popular with girls. He was effortlessly comfortable around girls, and it was obvious that he wasn't faithful in relationships, a typical playboy.
But her son was different; he was an honest person!
An honest person should have an honest person's approach. How could he learn from others?
Putting everything else aside, her son wouldn't even know how to flirt.
"I'm not imposing his ideas on myself, I just think what he said makes a lot of sense!" Conan emphasized again. "Besides, do you think your son looks like an idiot?"
"It's settled. I'll talk about it after I solve my own problems."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yukiko watched her son's receding back and felt a headache coming on.
She realized that Conan and Yusaku were exactly alike, with a very strong sense of self that was difficult to be influenced by the outside world.
To put it bluntly, they were a bit stubborn!
Yukiko was very glad at this time that when she met Yusaku, he had already passed the rebellious stage of sixteen or seventeen.
Society had already educated him well, making Yusaku's way of dealing with people smoother.
Otherwise, Yukiko estimated she wouldn't have been able to stand his stubbornness either.
"Sigh, I still have to think... how to convince him!" Yukiko didn't plan to give up so easily.
It's hard to find a virtuous wife these days!
Cleaning in the afternoon was a bit tiring, so Yukiko went back to her room to take a bath.
Because there were a limited number of rooms, she was forced to sleep in the same room as Baishi Hui and Conan.
To prevent them from accidentally walking in, Yukiko decisively locked the room door!
Only then did she feel at ease as she walked to the bathroom, carefully peeled off the fake face, and folded it neatly for storage.
After washing up, Yukiko lay in the bathtub filled with water and started applying a face mask... No matter what, skincare must be done well. This was the key to why her face could still remain smooth and supple even in middle age!
How should I convince Shinichi?
Just as she started thinking about this question, the bathroom door opened without any struggle!
Click!
Yukiko was startled. She turned her head abruptly and saw Baishi Hui walk in!
"Ah!!" She screamed, quickly grabbed a bath towel, and covered her chest.
"What are you screaming about? A grown man screaming like a woman! If someone heard it, they'd think I was molesting you!" Baishi Hui said with a speechless expression.
"You, you, you... How did you get in? Didn't I lock the door?" Yukiko inevitably panicked.
"You don't know? All the room doors are broken... they don't lock!" Baishi Hui put his change of clothes to the side and said, "Kudo, why does your voice sound so strange?"
"I... I have a bit of a cold," Yukiko quickly found an excuse and tried her best to lower her voice, making herself sound hoarse.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly heard rustling sounds from over there.
Yukiko couldn't help but turn her head and saw that the other person was taking off his clothes!!
"What... what are you doing?" She quickly averted her gaze, silently reciting 'see no evil' in her heart.
"What else can I do by taking off my clothes? Of course, take a bath!" Baishi Hui said as a matter of course. "I've been tired all day, and I'm covered in sweat."
"But I... I'm still taking a bath," Yukiko emphasized.
"You take your bath, I'll take mine, what's the problem?" Baishi Hui replied righteously.
Yukiko knew that men didn't have as many reservations when taking a bath, and she couldn't really say anything.
After stripping naked, Baishi Hui walked to the shower area and said, "Why are you still wearing a face mask?"
"Uh... well... because applying a face mask can hydrate, which can make your mind clearer!" Yukiko quickly replied in Shinichi's manner of speaking.
"Where did you hear about this method?" Baishi Hui took down the showerhead and started rinsing.
"I forgot... Anyway, I've been using it because it feels useful," Yukiko replied, and then heard the sound of water splashing.
If she were seventeen now, she would definitely be incredibly shy.
But she was now thirty-seven, and more than shyness, she was curious!
Yukiko quietly turned her head to look and examine Baishi Hui's physique, her eyes couldn't help but light up!
Wow, what a great body!
That V-cut!
Those hard eight-pack abs!
Her eyes unconsciously showed some excitement, and her gaze involuntarily drifted downwards.
His thighs were long and firm, forming a perfect curve with his waist and hips!
This body... was amazing.
Let alone men... even women would feel inferior seeing it!
Yukiko couldn't help but swallow, she had only seen a body like this on television!
No wonder the other person was so good at fighting...
While sighing, she couldn't control her eyes and continued to look.
After just one glance, Yukiko quickly averted her gaze, but her heart was filled with emotion!!
Wow! Is it that impressive?
His future girlfriend will definitely be very happy!!
I'm envious.
Yukiko thought her observation was discreet, but little did she know that Baishi Hui had noticed everything.
He deliberately teased, "What? Envious?"
"Uh... I am a little envious," Yukiko said, feeling guilty but also relieved that she had been discovered!
Fortunately, the other person still thought of her as Shinichi!
"If you're envious, then practice more," Baishi Hui squeezed out some shampoo and said while washing his hair, "As a Detective, how can you not have some self-defense skills?"
"I'll practice when I have time..." Yukiko replied, and while the other person was washing his hair, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Her heart was filled with 'wows,' and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, youth is so good!!
"It's a shame you're older, even if you start now, you won't be able to train to have a body like mine," Baishi Hui said while rinsing the foam from his hair with water, and then started digging a hole for Conan, "If you could start training from a young age, and train to have a body like mine... not only is it good-looking, but you can also fight well!"
"Yes... it's a pity," Yukiko said, nodding repeatedly while admiring this strong physique.
The other person's track record was there, which was very convincing!
She suddenly thought of something at this time and said, "Then you say... can Conan start training from this age?"
"No, he... can't endure this hardship," Baishi Hui denied without thinking.
He took the route of strengthening the country through technology, which others couldn't replicate.
However, Baishi Hui still said, "But, it's still better for Conan to learn some martial arts, this child is not quiet either."
"You're right," Yukiko nodded, planning to arrange for Conan to learn some martial arts for self-defense after returning!
Baishi Hui originally thought that by suddenly walking in and taking a bath, he could tease Yukiko a bit.
Unexpectedly, not only did she not blush with shyness, but she also looked intently, her eyes sparkling.
He realized he had messed up, he had become the one giving out benefits!
Yukiko was a married woman, different from a young girl.
This wasn't teasing her, this was giving her benefits!
Baishi Hui thought about whether he should get into the bathtub and squeeze in with the other person.
But if they were both squeezed into the same bathtub, and he tried to say he didn't realize the other person was a woman when they were so close, who would believe him?
After thinking about it, he decided to temporarily back off with the idea of casting a long line to catch a big fish!
He would wait for a better opportunity in the future!
"Since you have a cold, I won't take a bath... It would be troublesome if I got infected by you," Baishi Hui found a reasonable excuse, put on his clothes, and left.
This made Yukiko quite regretful, the other person just left like that?
Wouldn't he stay a little longer?
She still wanted to look a few more times!
