Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 187 Blooming White Orange Flowers
"Ah, Conan, why are you back so late?"

Seeing Conan walking in with his schoolbag on his back, Xiaolan asked, her tone like an older sister asking her younger brother who came home late.

"I went to the park to play hide-and-seek with Mitsuhiko and the others." Conan answered.

[Haha, they had to drag me there, I don’t want to play this kind of childish game]

"Sister Xiaolan, who is this auntie?" Conan pointed at Matsumoto Sayuri with a curious look on his face.

[Auntie! This little devil...]

Sayuri Matsumoto raised her eyebrows.

Although considering her age, there is nothing wrong with Conan calling her aunt, but this title is really unpleasant.

And she had an inexplicable intuition that this kid seemed to have done it on purpose...

[Hey, I think I've seen this face somewhere before]

"This is Sonoko's and Sonoko's junior high school music teacher, Mr. Matsumoto." Xiaolan introduced to Conan.

"Oh, it's Aunt Matsumoto." Conan called out with a smile.

Lin Ye glanced at Conan.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

He was admiring Teacher Matsumoto's expression after being called auntie.

Being angry but unable to vent, this frustrated expression is really great.

Conan was secretly pleased.

[Ha, this old woman bullied me for three years in junior high school, now it’s my turn]

[It feels good to call her Obasan openly and honestly]

[It seems that becoming a child has no benefits at all]

Sayuri Matsumoto raised her eyebrows again, narrowed her eyes, and observed the brat in front of her through the lenses.

[Like, so much like…]

[Whether it's the face or the infuriating attitude]

"Hey, kid, Ms. Matsumoto is young and beautiful, how can you call her aunt? Call her sister quickly."

Sonoko immediately noticed the change in Mr. Matsumoto's expression, and immediately scolded him, raising her fist as if ready to hit Conan on the head.

[This guy, Sonoko, is really nosy]

Conan muttered to himself, and changed his tone and called out, "Matsumoto-sister."

Matsumoto smiled and said, "How nice! Your name is Conan, right?"

"Yeah. My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a... ahem, first grader this year." Conan introduced himself.

"So cute, let me hug you."

"Ah, wait a minute..."

Without saying anything, Sayuri Matsumoto picked up Conan and placed him on her lap.

Conan's face instantly turned red.

Sonoko glanced at Conan from the side.

[What on earth is this little pervert blushing about?]

Xiaolan smiled slightly.

[Ms. Matsumoto seems to like children very much, is it because he is getting married soon? 】

Lin Ye looked at Conan who was sitting in the teacher's arms with a smile.

He knew what Conan was blushing about.

It would be strange for a male high school student not to blush while sitting in the arms of his beautiful teacher.

Although Kudo's body has shrunk, his consciousness is still that of a high school boy.

The situation at this moment was too exciting for him.

While Conan was shy, Sayuri Matsumoto suddenly reached out and took off the glasses on his face.

By the time Conan reacted and stretched out his short hands to get his glasses back, it was too late.

After his glasses were taken off, he felt as if he was stripped naked.

「Ah, so he looks like Toshihiko and that Kudo boy.」

Sayuri Matsumoto stared straight at Conan's face.

Being stared at like this, Conan felt even more uncomfortable. [Did this woman recognize me?]

"Conan, you look like one of my students." Sayuri Matsumoto said, looking at his face.

Conan's heart was shocked.

[This old woman still remembers it! ]

"Teacher, you are talking about that kid Kudo Shinichi," said Sonoko.

"I discovered this before, and I thought this kid was Uncle Kudo's illegitimate child. But I have confirmed with Aunt Yukiko that this kid is just a distant relative of the Kudo family."

Matsumoto looked at Conan's face.

[Can distant relatives be so similar? This little guy looks exactly like Kudo Shinichi when he was a child. I would believe they are twins.]

[However, since Sonoko has already called the Kudo couple to confirm, it should be correct.]

"Haha, so that's how it is. I thought this was Kudo-san and Xiaolan's child."

"Teacher Matsumoto!" Xiaolan called out with a red face.

"Haha, okay, I won't joke anymore. Don't be angry with the teacher." Sayuri Matsumoto said quickly with a smile.

[Haha, the old witch hasn’t changed at all]

Conan thought with a smile while being held in Sayuri Matsumoto's arms.

Lin Ye spoke at this time to ease the atmosphere.

"What would you like to drink?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko ordered grape juice, and Conan ordered orange juice.

"I remember that Mr. Matsumoto liked lemon tea the most. He would drink it during class." Sonoko looked at Sayuri Matsumoto who was still considering it. "Ms. Matsumoto, do you still like to drink that now?"

Matsumoto nodded and smiled: "Of course."

I like lemon tea and I am getting married soon...

Lin Ye had an idea and said with a smile: "Miss Matsumoto, let me recommend a cup for you."

"Okay, Yuanzi trusts Mr. Lin so much, I believe Mr. Lin's recommendation will not disappoint me."

Lin Ye nodded and began to prepare the necessary materials.

In terms of wine, what is needed is gin and Cointreau.

After Lin Ye told him the brand that was needed, Toru Amuro took two bottles of wine from the wine cabinet without any hesitation.

One bottle is Hayman's London Dry Gin and the other is Cointreau orange liqueur produced in France.

Then comes the juice, which requires freshly squeezed orange juice and lime juice.

Toru Amuro squeezed orange juice while Lin Ye squeezed lime juice himself, and they both finished at almost the same time.

Finally, pomegranate syrup is used to sweeten and neutralize the sour taste.

Gin, Cointreau, orange juice, lime juice, grenadine.

Pour the prepared ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice according to proportion, then shake until the liquor is cooled and the flavors are blended.

Under the curious gazes of Sayuri Matsumoto and several of her students, Lin Ye filtered the clear wine into the iced glass with an elegant posture.

The wine line is crystal clear and exudes a sweet and refreshing fragrance.

"Ms. Matsumoto, Orange Blossom, please."

Orange blossom.
Sayuri Matsumoto blinked, picked up the wine glass, and a fresh and natural fragrance wafted into her nose.

Lin Ye smiled and said: "The fragrance of orange blossom is rich and elegant, natural and fresh, and it has the effect of calming the mind, whitening and smoothing the skin. It is likened to the "happy fragrance of the bride". Because of its pure and flawless color, it is often used in the bride's bouquet or headdress, implying good luck and happiness."

"I will use this glass of wine named after a flower to wish Miss Matsumoto a happy wedding."

Sayuri Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

Put your lips close to the glass and drink the wine.

Light, fresh and clean, with crisp orange notes and a hint of cardamom, and a hint of mint.

After taking a sip, Sayuri Matsumoto seemed to feel lighter both physically and mentally, and her worries were temporarily forgotten.

At this moment, looking at Sayuri Matsumoto, Lin Ye's smile froze on his face.

He saw it again.

He saw Miss Matsumoto, who was wearing a wedding dress, lying on the ground, with blood staining the pure white wedding dress red.
