Chapter 113 Reencounter with Neji
Chapter 113 Reencounter with Neji
Uchiha Itachi clutched the earring tightly, thinking that if he gave it to Ye, Ye would surely understand his feelings.
The book mentions that girls love jewelry very much, and buying just one pair of earrings might not be enough; fresh flowers should also be prepared.
The more Itachi thought about it, the more he realized that he should be responsible for everything Ye needed to eat, wear, use, and use.
However, everything depends on a successful confession. Otherwise, it will be the same as before, where every time he gives Ye something, she will reciprocate with something in return. Although he is happy to receive gifts from Ye, he hopes even more that Ye can rely on him.
He had no idea that there were so many holidays for couples, and he missed many opportunities.
He also wants to make up for the holiday gifts he missed over the years.
"Looks like I need to make more money." Itachi touched his flat wallet and decided to take over the business his father had mentioned. Earning money by doing missions alone wasn't enough. He wanted to buy Ye a lot of things.
Seeing that Ye was about to disappear into the street, Itachi quickly chased after him.
Suddenly a voice called out to him from behind, "Onii-chan!"
Sasuke, who was arguing with Naruto, ran over and said, "Onii-chan, weren't you going to the hospital to see Yoh-neechan? What are you doing here?"
His eyes immediately fell on what his older brother was holding. "Older brother, is that something you're giving to Sister Ye?"
Itachi hurriedly put the earring away. "Sasuke, this is not something you should know."
Sasuke noticed his brother's expression and immediately had a bad feeling.
"Onii-chan, why are you so nervous? Are you about to confess to Hachi-neechan?!"
He had never done this before when he caught her giving something to Sister Ye; he must be about to confess his feelings.
Although Sasuke is only four years old, he already understands everything and has begun to plan how to cause trouble.
He must stop his brother from confessing his feelings, and also because that white-haired operative from the Dark Guard keeps appearing at the hospital, posing a significant threat.
"Sasuke..." A voice called out, interrupting his thoughts.
"That idiot!" Sasuke said with disgust, but his actions were the opposite; he ran towards the direction of the sound.
Before leaving, she said, "Onii-chan, I'm going to go play with my friend."
Before Itachi could respond, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
Sasuke has decided to use Naruto to stop his brother's confession plan.
Itachi was genuinely happy for Sasuke. After all, it was rare for someone with his arrogant and sharp-tongued attitude to make friends. It was just that he had lost track of Yoru.
Uchiha Ye found a spot not too far from the Hyuga clan's territory and sat cross-legged on a tree. She meditated, using her spiritual power to heal her injuries, and waited for night to fall.
Three hours later, all her injuries had healed.
Since the surgery, she has been in the hospital for five days, only able to recover secretly each time to avoid being noticed. Now that no one is around, she can finally recover in peace.
As for the hospital, she no longer plans to go back.
"Hmm? It sounds like I'm punching someone!" She listened carefully and could definitely hear the sound of punching someone.
I glanced at the sky and saw that it was still early, so I decided to kill some time.
Uchiha Yoh sped towards the direction of the sound.
The closer she got, the more familiar it seemed. "This looks like Neji's house."
Uchiha Ye peered over the wall and saw Neji training in the courtyard, without the Caged Bird Mark on his forehead.
She stroked her chin, somewhat curious about how the Hyuga clan would handle this matter.
"Never mind, it's not her concern."
Uchiha Yo jumped down and landed on a tree branch, making a slight sound.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Neji leaped onto the wall and looked down from his vantage point.
"Sorry to bother you." She turned her head and said somewhat apologetically. At this moment, Uchiha Ye had transformed into the appearance she had when she first met Neji.
Of course, she didn't forget to grow taller, since it had been almost a year since we last met, it was normal for her to have grown a bit.
"It's you!" Neji's face flashed with joy, and he jumped down to help the person up.
A look of surprise appeared on her face at just the right moment. "You still remember me."
"Hmm." How could he forget? He had been looking forward to seeing her again for the past year, but he never expected it to be under these circumstances.
"Would you like to come to my house for a bit?" Neji mustered his courage and invited.
"Is it okay? Won't it affect your training?" Uchiha Ye asked, looking embarrassed.
"No." Hyuga Neji quickly shook his head.
Looking at the person in front of him, he was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
Uchiha Ye was carefree and didn't notice Neji's little expression. She took small steps and climbed up the wall.
"It's just that I've gotten a little shorter, how come I can't climb up?"
"Neji...can you help me?" She turned her head to look at Neji, her eyes blinking.
Neji was about to call her name when he realized he didn't know it. "Can you tell me your name?"
"what..."
Just then, a leaf drifted down from a nearby tree, and Uchiha Ye immediately decided not to use a pseudonym. "My name is 'Ye,' the 'Ye' of leaf." He simply didn't mention his surname.
Hyuga Neji silently made a mental note of it. When he looked up, he saw him climbing the wall again, and a smile appeared on his face. "Ye, we can enter from the other side of the door."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the location.
"That's right, this is Neji's house. He even invited her to his house. Why would she climb over the wall to get in?"
Uchiha Ye suppressed his embarrassment, clapped his hands, and calmly walked towards the door, but in his heart he was thinking, "If only I had used chakra to climb over my feet, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed."
"Neji, do you stay here alone in this big house every day?" She sat on the veranda, swinging her legs and squinting as she drank Neji's tea, asking curiously.
"No, there was something going on in the village today, so Father went out." Neji looked at Ye, who seemed so content, and his gentle smile never left his face. He picked up another teacup and took a sip.
"Ye, try this pastry." Neji picked up a rabbit-shaped pastry and handed it to him.
"Wow, this rabbit is so cute, how can I bear to eat it?" As soon as she finished speaking, she neatly picked up a spoon, scooped out a bite, and ate it.
"It has a rich milky flavor, is smooth and tender, and tastes pretty good." She commented after taking a bite.
Then, after a few more bites, a rabbit-shaped pastry went straight into her stomach.
Neji had just picked up another piece of strawberry cake to exchange with her when he looked up and saw this scene, which made it hard not to laugh.
"What's wrong?" Uchiha Ye asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, you just have something on your lips." Neji said, taking out a handkerchief and leaning over to gently wipe his mouth.
"Okay." In just that short time, his heart was pounding.
He's still young, so it's hard for him to hide it, but Uchiha Ye didn't pay any attention to that. "Neji, want to spar?" she asked, standing up with great interest.
"Ye, there's still a piece of strawberry cake here, do you want some?" Neji asked, picking up the cake he hadn't eaten yet.
"I'm not eating anymore. I'll wait until you finish eating before we spar!" Uchiha Ye sat back down and gazed into the distance.
She was quickly drawn to the sound of chewing nearby. "This strawberry cake looks delicious too."
Neji immediately noticed her gaze and turned the spot he hadn't touched towards her. "Ye, try a bite."
Uchiha Ye was a little conflicted. She had just said she wouldn't eat it, so wouldn't it be a contradiction to eat it now? "How about trying a bite?"
She realized she didn't have a face at all, so she stopped worrying about it and just took a bite.
"It tastes completely different from before, with a smooth and creamy texture, and the flavor of strawberries is evident in every bite."
Her eyes lit up instantly. "Neji, where did you buy this cake? It's so delicious!"
"Ye, this was bought from the cake shop in the Hyuga clan's territory."
"The Hyuga clan's territory? No wonder she didn't know about it."
She lowered her voice, "Neji, are members of the Uchiha clan allowed to enter the Hyuga clan's territory?"
"The Uchiha clan?" Neji realized then that Ye's overall image was just like the basic characteristics of the Uchiha clan, something he had never thought of before.
After all, no Uchiha clansman had ever come to the Hyuga clan's territory before.
