Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 106 Yukiko: The Early Bird Gets Eaten By
Buzz buzz.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly started ringing, making an annoying noise.

But it wasn't an alarm clock ringing; it was a telephone ringing.

At that moment, an arm reached out from under the covers, accurately found the phone on the cabinet, pressed the answer button, and closed its eyes.

"Hello, this is Kitahara Natsuhiro. May I ask who this is?"

"Teacher Kitahara, this is Professor Agasa." Professor Agasa's voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this sound, Kitahara Natsuyu opened his eyes, his head emerging from under the covers. A ray of sunlight shone on his face, somewhat dazzling.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up, and leaned against the headboard: "Oh, it's Professor Agasa. What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa glanced at Conan, who was lying on the bed panting heavily with an ice towel on his forehead, and said, "That's how it is."

“Conan came to visit me yesterday, caught a chill, and now has a fever, so I want to ask for leave for him.”

Besides enjoying the breeze, there's also drinking.

Yesterday, Conan drank a whole bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and with the added wind, this is what he looks like today.

But I definitely can't talk about drinking.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro looked serious and very concerned.

"Is it serious? Do you need my help?"

Conan has a fever, this won't do.

If you don't go to school, who am I supposed to bully? Besides, his status has changed a bit now.

If we round it off, he's practically Conan's father.

Of course, a father is a father, and he should still be bullied when necessary.

He still hopes Conan will get better soon so he can pass the time at work.

However, you must drink baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) when you have a fever, as it will have a miraculous effect.

Professor Agasa said, "There's no need to trouble you, Kitahara-sensei. I'll see if Conan's fever can go down first. If not, I'll take him to the clinic."

There are quite a few clinics in Tokyo, so you don't need to go to a big hospital for headaches or fevers.

However, you need to make an appointment to go to the clinic, which is a bit of a hassle.

But with Professor Agasa's connections, it's a piece of cake.

“Okay,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “If there’s any trouble, you can call me and I’ll come over.”

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Kitahara-sensei."

"You're welcome."

Kitahara Natsuhiro then hung up the phone.

Just then, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded from the side.

"Xia Yu, what's wrong?"

The speaker was Conan's mother, Yukiko Kudo, though she was currently still Fumiyo Edogawa.

As for the hoarseness, it's probably because I sang for too long last night.

Moreover, because Kitahara Natsuhiro took a shortcut this time, Yukiko has changed her address for him from Kitahara-sensei to Natsuhiro.

He believes that the road will be opened up soon.

"nothing."

Kitahara Natsuyu checked the time, put his phone back on the cabinet, and burrowed under the covers.

"Hmm~~~" Yukiko said coquettishly, grabbing his mischievous hand: "Stop messing around. I'm exhausted right now."

Although she exercises regularly and has good physical strength, she is no match for Kitahara Natsuyu, a half-human, half-ghost monster.

Right now, her body is still a little weak, and she doesn't want to move at all.

She would still be fast asleep if she hadn't been woken up by the phone.

“But…” Kitahara Natsuyu grinned mischievously, taking the initiative and grabbing Yukiko’s hand, “What should I do if I feel really unwell right now?”

Feeling the heat of a red-hot iron rod in her palm, Yukiko's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but spit out, "You're being indecent so early in the morning, that won't do."

No way? That won't do.

"Sister, dear sister, Edogawa sister, please help me."

Kitahara Natsuyu refused to give in and started acting cute, rubbing against Yukiko.

"Stop it."

Yukiko tried to stop her, but Kitahara couldn't. Even Kitahara herself felt a little feverish, and her heart began to flutter.

To prevent things from getting worse, therefore...
"Just once, just once. Don't do it again." Yukiko stretched out her slender finger and pressed it against his lips.

"Yes, just once."

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded obediently, and by the way.
呲溜
But you can only listen to what men say, especially in bed; you can practically ignore what they say.

"Hmph, all you do is humiliate me."

Yukiko quickly waved her hand, glared at him, sighed, and then burrowed into the blankets.

The next second, Kitahara Natsuyu's eyes widened, and he gripped the blanket tightly with both hands.

An indescribable feeling swept over my entire body.

Yukiko stood at the sink, brushing her teeth vigorously while glancing at Kitahara Natsuhiro in the kitchen with a rather resentful look in her eyes.

"I know I'm handsome, but I can't see anything special about myself no matter how much I look at it."

Kitahara Natsuhiro, wearing an apron, turned to look at Yukiko and met her gaze.

"Pah, pah, pah! How shameless!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't do that? Why did you do it now? I swallowed it all!"

Yukiko rolled her eyes at him, stuck out her tongue, and looked at him with a coquettish expression. Her angry look was quite adorable.

If you can
Cough cough, no, I have to go to work later.

Kitahara Natsuyu shrugged, looking helpless: "What can I do? It's just that you're too amazing."

"It's really not my fault."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko snorted coldly, turned her head away, and ignored the guy.

How can you blame her? It was clearly Kitahara Natsuhiro who put his arm around the back of her head.
Sure enough, men are all big pigs, no good at all.

After being betrayed by Yusaku Kudo, Yukiko's mindset underwent a slight change, whether for better or worse was unclear. Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled and continued preparing breakfast.

ten minutes later.

Two steaming bowls of beef noodles appeared on the table, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and a small dish of pickled radishes, which he had also made himself, on the side.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold," Kitahara Natsumi said with a smile.

"Ah."

Yukiko is no longer angry, and she is genuinely hungry.

Last night she was feeding herself and didn't eat much, plus the whole night of fighting.

She was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back.

Yukiko picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of noodles and beef, blew on it twice, and then put it in her mouth. Immediately afterward, her eyes lit up.

"Hmm, I vaguely remember!"

Then she took another bite, and then another.

It's clear that Yukiko was quite satisfied with her breakfast.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro felt that Yukiko was simply hungry, not that the beef noodles were particularly delicious.

It was just a regular bowl of beef noodles, cooked in plain water. And Yukiko's bowl didn't even have chili oil, so for her, the taste was just so-so.

He prefers spicy food.

crunch
At this moment, Yukiko picked up another piece of pickled radish and ate it. It was crunchy, sour, and a little spicy.

The spiciness was just right; she could handle it.

Why is your face so red?

Yukiko looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro's face and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "I added some chili oil that I made myself. I can handle spicy food and have a strong palate."

"Would you like to try some?"

"Okay."

Yukiko didn't stand on ceremony with Kitahara Natsuyu, and directly used her chopsticks to pick up a little bit of noodles and beef, and put it into her mouth.

The next second.
Cough cough cough.
Yukiko covered her mouth and coughed violently.

"Here, this is milk."

Kitahara Natsuhiro took out his family's heirloom milk and handed it to Yukiko, patting her back to help her breathe more easily and feel less uncomfortable.

"Thanks."

Yukiko's face flushed slightly, and her voice became a little hoarse. She picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking the milk, she felt much better and turned to look at Kitahara Natsuyu with a face full of question marks.

"This is what you meant by 'only a little chili'?"

Kitahara Natsuyu smiled and said, "Yes, it's just a little bit for me. I'm used to it."

As he spoke, he picked up a pickled pepper, then some noodles and beef coated in chili oil, and slurped them down in one go.

Mmm, this tastes amazing, so satisfying.

Yukiko couldn't help but swallow as she watched Kitahara Natsuyu eat like this.

"Isn't it spicy?"

"It's not spicy at all. I think it's pretty good. How about we add some pickled peppers and try it again? It's really delicious." Kitahara Natsuyu grinned mischievously.

"No, no."

Yukiko quickly waved her hand, rejecting the suggestion.

“Alright.” Kitahara Natsuyu took another bite of noodles and continued, “I forgot to tell you, it was Professor Agasa who called just now.”

Upon hearing this, Yukiko paused, her expression somewhat complicated: "Is there something wrong with Conan?"

Professor Agasa wouldn't call for no reason. If he did call, something must have happened to Shinichi.

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded: "He went to Professor Agasa's place yesterday and caught a bit of a chill. He's running a fever now, so he asked me for leave."

He thought that Conan's mood was also a factor, in addition to the wind.

After all, what happened yesterday was a huge shock to him.

This is no less significant than when Xiaolan learned about her parents' separation at the age of seven.

"Do you want to go see Conan?"

Yukiko was planning to go to work at the store today, since it was her first day and she felt embarrassed to ask for leave.

But Conan is like this, so it doesn't matter if he takes leave.

He's the boss, so he calls the shots!
Upon hearing this, Yukiko hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "No, thank you."

"I don't know what I would say to Conan in the past. Maybe he would feel even more annoyed if he saw me."

"I won't bother Conan."

Shinichi is seventeen years old now, an adult, and there are some things he needs to face on his own.

Even if she went over, I don't know what to say.

You can't just say she's forgiven Yusaku Kudo and that she won't get a divorce, can you?

That's unrealistic.

Moreover, she herself had embarked on this path, and she was too ashamed to face Shinichi.

Let's talk about it later.

Let everyone calm down first, and then we can talk about other things.

Kitahara Natsuhiro sighed and reached out to stroke Yukiko's head: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Edogawa."

The next second, Yukiko glared at her: "Don't call me Mrs. Edogawa, and don't touch my head, I'm not a little girl."

“Okay, Sister Wendai, no problem, Sister Wendai.”

Kitahara Natsuhiro burst into laughter.
