Chapter 12: Christmas Eve
Before you know it, it's winter, and the cool autumn breeze has turned into a cold wind that makes your cheeks throb, and the dry and cold season makes Konoha seem to calm down from the noise of the past.
In the faint morning, Ling woke up from his sleep and opened the window of his room to look at the world outside covered in silver and snow.
The trees have dried up, snow has piled up in every corner of the eye, a few stray footprints on the ground have made the snow look lively from the silence, and some children have stepped out of the house to play in the snow.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Ling looked out the window with a little ridicule in his eyes, "It's really a peaceful and happy scene, but it's too ignorant and fragile." ”
Leaving the window, Ling opened the closet and took out a set of clothes, black ninja trousers, an equally black ninja top, a roll of medical bandages, and a pair of dark purple ninja jumpsuits hanging in the wardrobe. This outfit is similar to the equipment of the Itachi Shadow Era in the original book, and Ling also feels that it is concise and generous, so it has always been worn like this, and as a ninja, such an outfit will not feel cold in winter.
Gently open the button and take off the pajamas on her body, and her white jade body is also revealed. Ling's skeleton is a little slender compared to the average boy, the delicate and delicate collarbone outlines a dizzying arc, the white neck, and the pointed chin make Ling's appearance look soft and charming, although it will not be mistaken for a girl, but the outstanding appearance and some seductive upper corners of the eyes will still make many people stop and stare, the only regret is that a scar on the left side of the rib destroys this dazzling beauty.
The wound was not hideous, just a thin pink line, but judging from the length across the ribs, Ling must have been seriously injured at that time!
"Hmph." With a soft sigh, Ling's eyes showed mockery, the ninja who caused this scar was dead!
Putting on the ninja gear he had taken out and thinly bandaging his calves and arms, Ling immediately walked towards the outside of the house, and just opened the door, only to find his brother cowering back and forth at the top of the stairs.
"Get up! Ling was awakened by the sound of the door closing, and Lie retracted his thoughts and said hello.
"Ahh Somehow, Lie's appearance made Ling feel a little weird and a little ill-intentioned
"Ling! Happy birthday! Lie took out a small, beautifully packaged gift box from behind him and handed it to Dao Ling.
The days go by so fast, and before I know it, a year has passed again, and I am 14 years old
With a sigh in his heart, Ling took the gift and thanked him casually and prepared to go downstairs, but Lie hooked Ling's shoulder and looked at him with a look that Ling couldn't understand.
"It was my negligence all along! This brother of mine is incompetent! Hugging Ling, Lie's tone was heavy.
"Lie" looked at his brother's appearance and was surprised.
"You're at this age, and I've been giving you children's toys! I was such a failure! Lie clenched his hands, his voice full of pain.
“”
"I don't know what the goddess Ayanami you are talking about, but I think you must need this gift!" His voice was high-pitched, and a flame burned in his eyes!
“”
Ling was silent, his brother's fiery eyes and lewd smile making Ling uneasy. Is that a gift?
With some trembling eyes, Ling opened the ribbon of the gift, Ling took out a book-like black publication, and opened it gently, which was unbearable and outrageous, and the waves of breasts and hips whipped Ling's fragile nerves!
"Lie" slowly closed the publication in his hand, Ling's eyes were depressed, "Are you an idiot!" ”
"Huh?" The appearance of the younger brother made Lie a little surprised, it shouldn't be like this! I bought you a gift like a thief with so many unbearable eyes, and you look like this? Is it shy? yes, after all, he's only 14 years old
After making up for Lie's baseless brain, he looked at Ling with a more self-reproachful expression, "Don't be so shy, everyone is a boy, although you are a little precocious at your age, but it is also time to need these things, I asked all the shops that sell these, and they all said that there is no Ayaami goddess, only a milk god buttocks, but don't be sad, next time I will definitely help you find the photo of that Ayaba goddess!" Certain! ”
Crash! Ling clearly heard the sound of his reason breaking, and the green tendons on his forehead made Ling's brain throb and ache!
"Lie" Ling lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"What's wrong?" Lie subconsciously took a few steps back, and his younger brother's appearance made him feel a little dangerous.
"Die!"
"Ahhh!!hhh Don't slap your face!! Ah! Also hit! ”
After the trouble, Ling looked at his brother's blue and dark eyes and smiled proudly before preparing to leave, the laughter just now made Ling feel good.
"Ling" was unexpected, and although Lie's appearance was wolf, he also became serious, "Today is your birthday, let's have dinner at home." ”
At home? Ling Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his brother, his eyes guessing.
In the past, Lie spent his birthdays with Ling outside, but now Lie proposed to be at home, which surprised Ling.
"Mother is preparing the ingredients and making a lot of things that you like to eat." Looking at Ling, Lie's tone was a little low, but there was also some expectation.
Ling was silent, looking at the kitchen with a little surprise in his eyes, where a figure with an apron was busy.
"Well, it's always not good for the two of us, let's eat at home today." Looking at Ling's eyes, Lie scratched his hair with some embarrassment, and his tone was also discussed.
Soft-hearted brother. Looking at Lie's appearance, Ling commented in his heart.
Obviously I haven't fulfilled any mother's responsibilities, and most of the time we have been two people who rely on each other to live, but now you suddenly have this expression, that woman shouldn't cry to you, right?
With a flash of mockery in his heart, Ling Xin walked down the stairs and went straight to the entrance at the door.
"Ling" looked at his younger brother's figure, Lie's expression was a little stunned and he wanted to speak, and the warmth of the two of them laughing just now was completely gone.
"Today, the head of the family has something to ask me to come over." As he sat on the porch and adjusted his ninja sandals, Ling said lightly, and his mother was a little expectant but also full of loss.
"A third-rate plot in a third-rate drama." With a faint word, Ling opened the door and walked out directly, behind him, his mother's eyes were a little sparkling and couldn't help but slip a little.
It's the same as a TV series. When I was a child, I neglected my children, and when my life was good, I wanted to save my family, but I didn't have the heart to accompany a woman who couldn't live for a few years to act in a soap opera about mother's love and filial piety!
Seeing his mother's tears, Ling's mockery was even worse! Ling in the previous life was an orphan, in Ling's heart, if everything could be redeemed, why didn't anyone save him? Coupled with the fact that the Uchiha clan was getting closer and closer to the day when they would be destroyed by Konoha, Ling really didn't have the mood or heart to change the family's situation.
The door slammed shut, and the clanging sound brought the two people in the room back to their senses.
"Mother" watched her younger brother's back slowly disappear, and Lie's expression was complicated. Looking back, his mother's aggrieved appearance made Lie a little embarrassed.
"It's okay!" Shaking her head vigorously, Ryoko reluctantly smiled, "I know Ling is still complaining about me, I once neglected you too much, I will definitely try my best to satisfy you in the future!" ”
"Resentment" pondered the word, and Lie's appearance was a little helpless.
If only I really blamed you and my father! If you complain, it means that Ling cares about you, but with my understanding of Ling, I'm afraid that you are nothing in his heart, in that case, even what you are doing will be fruitless
Silently said a sentence in his heart, Lie looked at his mother after all, and then changed the topic and said: "The head of the family must have something important to let Ling go, as the outstanding genius of our Uchiha clan, everyone has deep expectations for Ling!" ”
"In this way, I hope Ling is not too tired, he is only 14 years old" Smiling at Lie, Ryoko replied softly
Unlike Ling, Lie, who was three years older than Ling, had a period of care that his parents had scarce but did have, but later the outbreak of war and his father Uchiha Lani's disappointment in Lie made Lanjing and Ryoko ignore Lie again. Every festival, those happy and warm families on the streets of Konoha make Lie envious, and he hopes that his family can do the same, for himself and for his younger brother! Ling was just 14 years old, and Lie hoped that there would be a place where he could comfort him when he was tired or helpless, rather than silently bearing those unknown pressures and anguish by himself, and Lie couldn't enter Ling's heart, but he hoped that his family could, but Ling's indifference was deeper than Lie expected
No resentment, no resentment, but complete disregard! Lie found that in his brother's heart, his parents were just strangers with this identity, and this discovery made Lie afraid! What can warm my brother's cold heart? What is the position of the love and companionship in the heart of the younger brother? Faced with these questions that he had no answers, Lie bowed his head helplessly and sighed
