Chapter 268: An Unsolvable Misunderstanding
Do your hair?
Adult Sasuke's brow furrowed even deeper:
Sakura was born with silky crimson hair, which didn't need any extra touch-ups, and was dazzling enough.
As far as he can remember, Sakura has never been to a hairdresser.
However, for this issue, adult Sasuke did not delve into it.
Because as a husband who hasn't come home for several years in a row, what reason does he have to question his wife's extra little hobbies?
What intrigued adult Sasuke was another question:
When did her daughter have such a good relationship with the juvenile version of herself?
Obviously, the two didn't deal with each other before, but now they are singing and harmonizing, and they have a tacit understanding
Could it be because of the blood connection between "father and daughter"?
Adult Sasuke is a little confused, he is very sluggish in all emotions except brotherhood.
Seeing her father's silence, Zoryana was like falling into an ice cellar, and she almost couldn't suppress the urge to be frightened and collapsed on the spot.
She looked at the familiar house beside her silently, and a few traces of despair quietly crossed her eyes:
It is very likely that something indescribable is happening inside, and his father, who is the "bitter master", is blocking the door at the moment.
At this time, the young Sasuke stood up with righteousness and awe-inspiring, and quietly cast a "comrade rest assured" look to Zoryana with the corner of his eye.
As a little actor who is about to test, he has already adjusted his mentality, and he has found the weakness of the other party with one blow!
There is no one who knows Sasuke better than Sasuke.
I saw the young Sasuke precisely manipulating the muscles of his face, revealing a shallow smile.
There is a bit of nostalgia in the smile, and there is a bit of heaviness precipitated by time.
Then, he whispered to Itachi, "Brother, I want to eat three-color balls." ”
"That time-honored dessert shop should still be open in Konoha, right?"
This is a code that only Sasuke and Itachi know:
His happiest childhood memories are the good times when he ate desserts in the company of his brother;
And the three-color balls are actually Itachi's favorite.
As soon as these words came out, the lethality was really huge.
Itachi was quietly moved by his brother's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a warm smile.
The adult Sasuke was suddenly stunned as a wooden man, and a look of memory flashed in his eyes, and his eyes were even faintly moist.
Eventually, he said with some excitement: "That store is still there!" ”
Speaking of this, the adult Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and the words on his lips became fragmented:
"At least it was still there when I went back to Konoha a few years ago."
Those little doubts just now were completely left behind by adult Sasuke, and he only wanted to relive the warm memories with Itachi.
So the adult Sasuke took the initiative to turn around, and couldn't wait to get to the once familiar dessert shop.
Seeing such a good effect, the young Sasuke quietly gave Zoryana a "plan" gesture with his hand behind his back.
Zoryana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to find that her back was soaked in cold sweat, and she secretly felt a sense of relaxation and happiness in her heart.
Wait a minute!
After following her father out for a long time, Zoryana suddenly reacted.
On a small white face, two crimson red clouds suddenly flew up:
What am I happy about?!
In his own home, my mother and Hokage-sama are still there
When the adult Sakura finally finished her busy and intense work at the hospital and returned home, the sky had completely darkened.
Dinner time had already been missed, and she had not fulfilled her promise to treat young Naruto and young Sakura well, so she had to apologize to them with some embarrassment.
However, the other party understood her work very well, not only did not show displeasure, but sincerely praised her for her seriousness and responsibility.
In the midst of laughter, the adult Sakura sent the two guests out of the house.
In the end, Sakura was the only one left in the huge Uchiha family.
In the past, she was accompanied by her daughter, but now Zoryana is not at home, and the empty house makes Sakura inevitably a little lost.
Think about it, when Zoryana officially becomes a ninja, there will be more and more lonely days for such a person, right?
Depression and loneliness crept up on Sakura's heart, but they were quickly dispelled away by Sakura's smile:
She's never been the weak woman who has to rely on others to live!
Sakura couldn't help but think back to the patient she had successfully treated at the hospital today, and a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction arose.
Although the job is tiring, Sakura was able to save a life on her own, and her efforts and success were recognized by her other world.
Thinking of this, Sakura's mood became even more uplifted, and a happy and satisfied smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Standing outside the door, Zoryana's heart was extremely worried.
She and the young Sasuke did everything they could, delaying their trips from afternoon to evening.
The Uchiha team almost visited the bustling street market in Konoha, tasted all kinds of snacks, and bought a lot of souvenirs for Princess Zoryana and Master Sasuke, who suddenly had a "tsundere" attack.
In the end, they couldn't drag it out
As she knocked on the door, Zoryana looked uneasily at the light in the room, and thought to herself:
After all this time, they should be done, right?
not
She blushed again:
Why didn't I realize that the word "finished" was so unsightly
Eventually, the door was opened.
Zoryana hurriedly blocked the sight of the people behind her with her body, and then carefully looked at the situation inside:
Mom's dress is quite neat, and the house is empty and there should be no one else.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and casually raised her head and greeted Sakura, "Mom, I'm back!" ”
At this moment, Zoryana subconsciously carefully observed her mother's demeanor at the moment:
There was a thin sweat on her forehead that had not been wiped clean, and she still had a tired look on her face, but the corners of Sakura's mouth were raised high, showing a happy and satisfied look.
This appearance is actually quite normal, almost the daily state of Sakura-chan returning from exhaustion from the hospital.
But under Zoryana's advance brain supplement, Sakura's appearance is extremely obvious
Sakura keenly sensed her daughter's strange subtle attitude, but she didn't doubt it, and just hugged Zoryana affectionately.
It was only then that Sakura noticed the one-armed man following behind Zoryana
Her husband she hasn't seen in years, Sasuke Uchiha!
Sakura knew that Zoryana had followed Naruto to find her father, but she didn't expect Sasuke, who had not returned for many years, to come back.
And now, her husband is standing in front of him, which has to be said to be a surprise.
So Sakura's face suddenly turned rosy, and she was even more subconsciously surprised: "You, you're back?" ”
Finished
Zoryana nervously pushed her glasses:
Her mother's incoherent "bad" performance made her confirm a lot of content in her heart.
Seeing his wife, adult Sasuke showed a rare smile, and then nodded at Sakura: "I'm back." ”
The tone is flat, and there is a little undetectable tenderness in the blandness.
The two nodded to each other, thus ending the reunion moment of a long-lost couple.
That's it?
My wife, who hasn't seen her for a few years, didn't even give me a hug?
Zoryana is even more vigilant in her heart: this is not like a normal way of getting along with a couple!
His father is so unkind, no wonder his mother will rekindle her old relationship with Hokage-sama
Faintly, Zoryana has already made her stand in this turmoil, choosing to stand on the side of her mother who has been with her and takes care of her.
But she didn't know that this was how Sasuke and Sakura usually got along.
Sasuke is not good at expressing emotions, and it is impossible for him to make any intimate gestures with his wife in front of others.
After everyone entered the house, adult Sasuke and Sakura only looked at each other deeply, and then didn't make any closer moves.
Zoryana hurriedly approached her new ally, young Sasuke, and gave him a hint of a look.
After half a day of cooperation, the two already had a very tacit understanding, and the young Sasuke immediately understood what Zoryana meant.
So he took it upon himself to find some brainless topics to attract the attention of Itachi and adult Sasuke, and began to use a serious delaying strategy.
Zoryana whispered to Sakura mysteriously, and then took Sakura's hand and dragged her to the side.
Sakura looked strangely at her daughter, who looked strange but determined, and didn't know what Zoriana was going to say to her.
I saw that Zoryana was calm, and then said a clueless sentence seriously and seriously:
"I know everything about my family!"
Zoryana had never shown such a solemn look in front of Sakura.
Sakura couldn't help but be shocked: "You know everything? ”
My daughter went to look for Sasuke with Naruto these days, and she must have learned a lot about Sasuke.
Especially the black history that she has been hiding from her daughter, about Sasuke's youth, I'm afraid she let Zoryana know
As a mother, Sakura doesn't want Zoryana to know about her father's disgraceful past;
But she also knows that sooner or later the truth will be revealed.
So, Sakura said to her daughter with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Zoryana. ”
"I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you like this, but it's hard for my mother to say it."
The just right lines and the surprise and guilt on Sakura's face dispelled the last trace of luck in Zoryana's heart.
As a daughter, Zoryana suddenly felt that she shouldn't just blame her mother;
Usually, she only thinks about her missing father, but she rarely cares about her mother who has always been with her and cares.
So, Zoryana hugged Sakura's body strongly, and then said firmly:
"Mom, this has nothing to do with you!"
"I can understand what my mother does"
"It's all the fault of that irresponsible dad!"
Sakura stroked Zoryana's hair with relief and whispered, "No, your father has his own difficulties."
Zoryana was unusually firm:
"Don't mention that again, Mom!"
"Just let these things pass!"
Sakura was touched by her daughter's mature thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh happily, "Hmm! ”
Eventually, Zoryana turned and walked away as if nothing had happened.
But before leaving, Zoryana turned around and told Sakura seriously:
"Mom, I'm mainly here to tell you this time"
"If someone asks, you'll say you're going to get your hair done today!"
"Huh?"
Sakura was a little puzzled, but nodded stunned under Zoryana's serious gaze: "Okay, okay"
After a long time, Sakura still didn't understand the meaning of Zoryana's advice.
She gently twisted a strand of scarlet cherry hair hanging down her forehead, and muttered to herself for some reason:
"Do your hair?"
