Ino's whole body went completely limp. She said "Sister, I was wrong", and the taboo feeling in her mind immediately threw her well-established rationality out of the sky.
I can't remember why I was sulking. I wanted to push him away but found that I had no strength at all.
Tsunade's eyes opened a crack on the chair, and she closed them again when she glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye. The setting sun is filled with warm wind, whistling people to sleep.
Naruto took Ino's wrist, took her out of the office, and gently closed the door.
In the corridor, Ino was wearing a professional suit and skirt, with slender and white wrists. After a lot of effort, I managed to break free from his hand while panting.
".,.You!! What are you doing!"
"Tsunade-sama said it's time to get off work, didn't you hear me?" He said with a smile, behind him were the wide open windows, and large swaths of the sunset fell on his broad back.
The whole person looked thin, and the edges seemed to be imitated with a layer of golden light.
"I haven't finished my work yet." She said hesitantly, turning her head to the side and her face was red. I couldn't help but think back to that sentence about my sister who was almost numb, and my heart was beating fast.
I don’t know where he learned the name from, but it’s impossible for him to fall.
"Then I'll accompany you in." Naruto looked at her with a smile, "I'll help you finish, anyway, with you, otherwise I will always follow you."
Thinking that Tsunade-sama was still resting there, Ino wouldn't dare to go back. If that person was dishonest and did anything wrong, then she would never be able to see anyone again.
"No reply! Get off work!" She said angrily.
I don't know why, but she is obviously not that angry. But as soon as she saw him, Ino felt like she was furious, but he was so easy to get over every time.
Naruto grabbed her, his eyes filled with smiles, hiding the unique kindness of a young man. In the empty corridor, there was an endless warm breeze, and the shadows of the two people folded on the wall.
He pressed Ino against the wall, and moved his whole body closer to her neck to smell her, tickling her.
"Are you sulking? Even I'm missing, huh? Avoiding me."
"I didn't." Ino's psychological defense completely collapsed, her eyes filled with mist, and she retorted tremblingly, "I didn't hide from you."
"You didn't avoid me, why didn't you tell me that you were transferred to the Hokage Building?" Naruto let go of her, his eyes a little cold, as if he would leave at any time.
"No." Ino's voice became louder and lower.
"Really?" he asked, as if waiting for her to nod, he would disappear immediately.
"I'm a little angry, but when you were in the office just now, I wasn't angry anymore." She said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"Will I take you for a walk in the evening?"
"Where to go?"
"Let's go to Konoha Street, just stroll around and have something to eat." Naruto said casually, and then asked, "Do you want to go to work tomorrow?"
"Yeah." She nodded, "I've been a little busy lately, and I might have to get off work very late."
"Later than today?"
"It should be around midnight. Tomorrow is the end of the month, and I have to sort out the mission information, so..." Ino said in a low voice.
After hearing what Ino said, he realized that it was the end of March, and it was almost April.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at midnight." He said, pulling Ino out and walking out.
"Why?" She looked at the figure who was half a step ahead with burning eyes and asked in a low voice.
"How can there be so many reasons? I don't want you to go home so late alone." He said, "If I don't know, forget it, but if I hear it, I can't treat it as if I didn't hear it."
"But... what should I do when I walk at night in the future?" Ino followed him downstairs, her steps feeling like stepping on cotton, and her mood tightened a little bit.
"As long as you say the word, I will come to pick you up."
"Yes." Ino responded, feeling a little happy in her heart, like a broken biscuit. When she bites into it, the sweetness spreads faintly in her mouth.
On the stairs, Naruto held her hand all the time. He walked in front and lowered her a little. The moment he turned the corner of the stairs, he met her eyes as he went up and down.
In the dimly lit small space, the cold and forbearing gaze made Inoye jump suddenly. She somehow read his gaze, as if he wanted her.
But his eyes quickly glanced towards the bottom of the stairs, as if he was paying attention to the road.
Ino's face suddenly turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, like it was on fire. Thinking about a certain possibility, her redness reached the roots of her ears. His teeth were so tense that they were sore, and his heart was pounding.
Konoha is actually quite prosperous, with a high population density and a wide range of shops and daily necessities stores. The spending power of the ninjas in the village is not bad, and there are signs of a second spring under Tsunade's management.
The bustling Konoha street was brightly lit, and Ino seemed a little uncomfortable with being held by the hand, but after trying to break free, she found that she couldn't break free at all, so she just let him go.
"Why are you nervous?" He asked in shock as he turned his head.
"I didn't." She quibbled hastily.
"It was too obvious when you lied. Try to cover it up a little next time." Naruto glanced at her slowly and found that her quibbling look was a little cute.
But when I thought about her expression just now, like a little girl stealing forbidden fruit for the first time, I couldn't help but frown and asked another question.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
"No." She denied it at first, and then while there were not many people on the road, she leaned close to his shoulder and asked softly, "Do you want to take me there?"
"What is that?"
"That's right." Ino gritted his teeth, hooked his white hands on Naruto's head and pulled him down, pressing it against his ears, and covered it tightly with his palms to prevent the sound from being transmitted.
"**."
"Oh~!" Naruto pulled her hand away and looked at Ino with a shocked expression, "I should really record it."
"You!" Ino punched him, "I was joking."
At the outdoor barbecue stall, Ino took off her shoes, revealing her snow-white feet, dangling under the table. After taking a bite of the roasted meat with oil and honey, he took a sip of the drink, his face suddenly showed a look of happiness and he narrowed his eyes.
"Ha! It feels so good!" she exclaimed, "Thank God for getting off work on time today. I've been almost exhausted these past few days."
Looking at Ino, whose mood seemed to have recovered, Naruto was sitting at a leisurely barbecue. The early summer night was lively, surrounded by the sound of clinking wine glasses.
This made him feel a little itchy. Drinking in summer was indeed a good choice. But I thought it would be a year or two later, so I suppressed the idea.
"Ah~" Ino handed a piece of fat and thin barbecue in front of him and looked at him with a smile.
Asking for votes at the end of the month, still available.
