Ran naturally wouldn't do something like eat alone. After she shared the rice balls with Baishi Hui, her hunger subsided significantly.
Combined with the recent exercise, she felt somewhat tired.
"Go back and sleep, otherwise you won't have any energy tomorrow morning," Baishi Hui said softly to Ran.
"Okay, okay... then I'll go back to sleep." Ran didn't insist. Before leaving, she kissed Baishi Hui on the cheek and then went into the cabin.
Baishi Hui lay contentedly on the deck, counting stars.
He knew that from now on, Ran would be completely shaped by him.
Even if Conan turned back into Shinichi, it would be no use.
Women are emotional and are often driven by feelings.
No matter how long they spend together, it's not as fast as the increase in favorability gained from a real battle!
However... is there any way to also take care of Yukiko while he's at it?
Baishi Hui felt that if he didn't seize this plan properly, it would be too much of a waste.
While his mind wandered, he heard the sound of footsteps.
He thought it was Ran who couldn't sleep, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was Yukiko who had come out.
Baishi Hui was a little surprised and said, "Miss Yukiko, you woke up so quickly?"
"I was shaken awake," Yukiko stretched lazily and said helplessly, "It's too shaky... It was fine when I was sleepy just now, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. But after waking up, it's hard to fall asleep again."
"Indeed," Baishi Hui couldn't help but nod in agreement.
He also lay on the bed for a long time, being shaken, and only fell asleep when he was utterly exhausted.
He regretted getting a small private yacht. He should have gotten a large yacht so the boat would be more stable and he could sleep soundly!
"It's so cold... Is it this cold at night?" Yukiko felt a little cold and unconsciously tightened the blanket around her.
Although she had put on her dress, that thin layer couldn't resist the cold.
Seeing this, Baishi Hui got up and put his blanket over Yukiko, saying, "Is this better?"
"Yes, much better... Shirashi-kun, you're really considerate." Yukiko did feel less cold. She looked at him, who was only wearing thin clothes, and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
"It's okay, it's not too cold," Baishi Hui said as he sat back down.
Yukiko followed without hesitation, spread out the two layers of blankets, and wrapped him in them.
The blanket wasn't big, so they had to be close together to cover both of them.
She chuckled softly, "Elders always take care of juniors. How can a junior take care of an elder?"
"What you said makes sense and is irrefutable... but the posture needs to change," Baishi Hui said as he picked up Yukiko and placed her on his lap, saying, "This way, we can both be covered!"
"You... kid... you're so bold," Yukiko looked at Baishi Hui with playful eyes, her tone slightly threatening, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Ran?"
"Not afraid... Besides, Miss Yukiko, you were the one who initiated it first. What do I have to be afraid of?" Baishi Hui wouldn't be scared by her few words.
If she really wanted to do that, she would have done it directly. Why would she still talk to him?
When it's said like this, the meaning is usually more teasing.
"Shirashi-kun, you must date girlfriends often, right? Otherwise, how would you be so skilled?" As Yukiko spoke, she felt Baishi Hui's restless hands.
Touching her legs was one thing, but he actually wanted to go higher!
He was simply pushing his luck!
She grabbed his hands and signaled with her eyes that Baishi Hui should "stop" there.
Seeing this, Baishi Hui didn't push his luck any further.
Thighs are fine! As long as he could touch something.
He didn't answer Yukiko's question but instead asked, "Miss Yukiko, I remember you were a famous actress before, right? Why did you suddenly retire from acting? Don't tell me something like 'I've won all the awards and I'm satisfied.'"
People who enter the entertainment industry are often very ambitious and crave fame and fortune.
Once they taste the feeling of earning 2.08 million yen per day, it's hard for them to accept a job with a monthly salary of three or four thousand.
It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
Human nature is like this.
Baishi Hui saw that Yukiko wore luxury goods.
Every time he saw her, her clothes were different.
How much must that cost?
Do you really think that marrying a celebrity wife is the end of it?
You still have to spend a lot of money to support her!
There are many rich people who covet female celebrities, not to mention a legendary female star like Yukiko.
There are plenty of wealthy men willing to spend a fortune to spend a good night with Yukiko.
If you don't give her money to spend, others will.
So, will you give it or not?
Not only watches, cars, and clothes have luxury goods, but women also have luxury goods!
Female celebrities are the luxury goods among women.
It's not just about marrying them; you also have to spend money regularly to maintain them!
Is Kudo Yusaku writing novels so desperately because he really loves writing novels?
No!
He works so hard writing novels to support his celebrity wife.
"Alas... that's all ancient history. What's there to talk about?" Yukiko sighed lightly, not wanting to bring up the past.
"Actually, you don't have to say it, I know... It's probably because some old geezer was eyeing you, right?" Baishi Hui stated his guess.
"You guessed correctly," Yukiko pouted helplessly.
Baishi Hui didn't think this was difficult to guess.
In the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, everyone is aiming for fame and fortune.
The more one is willing to be flexible, the better they will fare!
Yukiko entered the entertainment industry as an ordinary person and became an instant hit with a supporting role!
To others, it was a legendary event, but from the perspective of those in the industry, she was someone who came to steal their share of the pie!
She had no background and no one to back her up.
Shouldn't they take good control of her?
When entering an industry, one must abide by the unwritten rules of that industry.
From the outcome, Yukiko didn't want to abide by the unwritten rules of the industry, so she chose to "retire" and got married and left.
Judging from her actions after settling in Los Angeles, where she often participated in special TV investigation programs and made a big splash using Kudo Yusaku's reasoning, she actually didn't want to retire at all.
She was just forced into it.
"Anyway, I'm idle. Tell me the details," Baishi Hui continued to ask.
"Okay, let's just treat it as passing the time," Yukiko felt that it had been so many years, it was fine to talk about it!
Just as she was about to speak, Baishi Hui suddenly said again, "Wait a minute, when talking about these things... how can we not have wine?"
Saying this, he reached into the pitch-black corner next to him, fumbled around, and then took out a bottle of red wine.
"Red... red wine?" Yukiko looked closely and said in surprise, "And it's lafite 1982? How do you have it?"
"I picked it up at sea... I originally wanted to enjoy it myself, but now you get to benefit from it," Baishi Hui casually came up with a reason and opened the bottle with a corkscrew with a pop.
He placed the bottle in front of Yukiko and said, "The first sip is for you!"
"Thank you~~~" Yukiko took the red wine without hesitation, drank several sips, and then contentedly handed the bottle to Baishi Hui, and then began to tell her story.
