Night.

A small building, a small room.

Fortunately, daily necessities and the like are readily available, so even if you live here alone, there won't be much of a problem, even if it's a child.

"I'm back."

He screamed, but no one responded to him.

I used to expect someone to respond, but now, I just habitually speak, and I don't expect any response, and there is no way to respond.

But I'm in a good mood today.

When I entered the door, I lay directly on my small bed, looking like I was relieved.

"Big brother is really a good person!"

sighed.

So Qingming inadvertently received a good person card, but it came from a boy, and if Qingming knew, I don't know how he would feel.

But it doesn't matter.

It was important for Naruto Uzumaki that someone didn't look at him with that annoying look or say something sad to him.

Like the owner of Ichiraku ramen and the daughter of his uncle, Kamyo, Cheongong is one of the few people who treats him with a normal attitude, and he is also one of the few who shares his dreams.

"Hmm!"

Climb up and walk towards the tiny bathroom.

"Take a shower and sleep, and I'll continue to work hard tomorrow!"

……

Coffee shop.

It's time to get off work today, and it's a little late.

Qingming sat at the counter and read a book, and the two little girls packed up and changed their clothes before walking to the counter.

"Brother Qingming."

It was Yamanaka Ino who spoke, and after getting acquainted with it, she called Qingming so.

Sakura Haruno doesn't.

Maybe in private, she will also call "Brother Qingming" or something like that, but in front of Qingming, she calls "shopkeeper" in a proper manner.

That's not to say.

"Let's go first, and we'll come back tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Qingming nodded.

So the two little girls didn't say anything more, and turned to leave together.

But Qingming remembered something.

"That's right."

“？”

"Starting tomorrow, if I don't come over again without Naruto, you can let him eat something, cake or something, take whatever you want, Sakura, don't be rough with him."

"Oh."

Yamanaka Ino nodded.

She didn't care much about Naruto Uzumaki, and children like her were told not to get too close to Naruto Uzumaki, and not to bully him.

Of course, it is said that what children want to do, they can still control it when they see it, and when they can't see it......

That's okay.

So when I was in the ninja school, the children of the rest of the families, such as Nara, although they were not very close to Naruto Uzumaki, occasionally skipped class together and played together.

"Yes."

Sakura Haruno also nodded in reply.

Qingming specially reminded her not to be rude, it seems that she knows the other side of her, obviously she has always been so well-behaved in front of Qingming, how did Qingming see it?

It's not that she just likes to do things or anything.

It's just that she doesn't like Naruto Uzumaki very much, and Naruto Uzumaki likes to be close to her, and always does some pranks that make people angry, so she can't help but do it.

But Qingming said so, and he could only endure it as much as possible in the future.

"Well, that's good."

Qingming nodded.

Then he put down the book in his hand, opened the drawer and took out two bottles.

"These are some pills, you take one in the morning and one in the evening, and you always work here with me, delaying your cultivation, and this is what I compensate you for."

"Pills?"

"Well, your father knows it, so take it back."

"Oh."

Yamanaka Ino nodded.

Without thinking much about it, he took one of the bottles, and Sakura Haruno followed suit, and after thanking him, he left, leaving Qingming to read there alone.

Everything depends on Qingqing himself.

There is no one to guide and there is no complete inheritance, just one person studying the Taoist scriptures, and I don't know how many years it will take to have a harvest, but fortunately, there is plenty of time.

Anyway, take your time.

……

Time flies.

Addicted to the Qingming of Taoism, he couldn't extricate himself, but he couldn't feel the passage of time.

Naruto Uzumaki often comes.

Sometimes, I happened to meet Kakashi who came over for coffee, and Qingming pretended not to know anything to introduce them to each other, but they didn't communicate much.

Other than that, nothing has changed.

Then, one morning.

Hinata Hinata came to the coffee shop, of course, not to get medicine, but to deliver a message to Qingming: Hinata Hinata invited Qingming to Hinata's house as a guest.

At the beginning, he said that Qingming could be a guest at any time and go to Hinata Hinata to play, but Qingming hadn't been there, so he now ordered an invitation.

I looked at it for a while, and then I suddenly realized......

"Oh, it's the New Year!"

Qingming was in a trance.

Unconsciously, it's been more than half a year since I came to Konoha, and I'm about to enter the second year, and I haven't paid attention to it for a long time, and I don't even know that the New Year is coming.

And Hinata Hinata said that he was watching him celebrate the New Year alone, which was strangely lonely, so he invited him to go over with him, a little lively, and by the way, it also showed that the relationship between the two sides was still friendly.

"Okay."

Kiyomi, who had figured it out, smiled and nodded, and then looked at Hinata Hinata who was standing in front of the counter.

"Hinata Komata personally invited me, and I will definitely go."

"Hmm."

……

Afternoon.

Qingming received an invitation from every day again.

It's also what her father meant, after all, Tiantian has a good relationship with Qingming, and half of the coffee shop belongs to Tiantian, which is a good thing from the beginning.

Tian Tian is the proprietress of a coffee shop.

Let's not talk about that.

"I wanted to go, but in the morning, I had already promised Hinata to go to Hinata's house."

Qingming scratched his head.

It seems that everyone thinks that he is "pitiful" for the New Year alone, so they all come to invite him, and I don't know if Kakashi and the others will also want to invite him to have a good time.

Qingming can't go, but I don't mind every day.

"In that case, Ernie sauce should go to Hinata, anyway, my father will invite a lot of other people at that time, and Ernie sauce doesn't know them, and they won't be taken seriously when they go, so it doesn't matter if they go or not."

"Hmm."

Qingming nodded.

Every day, I came directly to the counter, sat on Qingming's lap without any worries, looked at the guests drinking coffee, and looked at the Ino and Haruno Sakura who were busy back and forth.

"They're still working here, they've been working for so long, so why can't they keep training?"

She didn't understand it.

It's obviously such a hard work, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura can persevere, and they can be regarded as children with perseverance and perseverance, but they don't seem to be so attentive to training.

It's weird.

Qingming didn't care about this, hugged Tiantian, leaned into her ear and whispered.

"I'll come to the door in person when your father is free, and then I'll say that I'm going to propose marriage, so that it will definitely attract your father's attention, right?"

"Humph!"

Pouted every day.

But I couldn't help but smile, I looked very happy, and my little face was a little red.

Swinging his legs.

"If you really want to go, be careful that my father will let you out, I'm still so young, you dare to come to my house to propose, can't you wait a few more years?"

"Wait a few years? Does that mean you are willing to marry me? ”

"Only, not yet, hum!"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

“……”

The two of them sat there, talking something as if no one was around, and they were not afraid of being heard, although no one would eavesdrop on it, but Haruno Sakura, who changed a pot of hot tea for Qingming, heard it.

Breathe a sigh of relief inside.

I heard that Kiyoshi and Naruto Uzumaki liked her before, although there was no special performance after that, and Kiyoshi had always been just reading a book or something, and didn't care about her at all.

But I still have some concerns in my heart.

Now it seems that Qingming just said casually at that time, obviously he liked Tiantian, right, he was usually so intimate, and now he is talking about topics such as proposing.

However, it's not good to like her.

Just thinking about it, I feel a little uncomfortable, although she doesn't have any love for Qingming, but the people who like her before actually don't like her.

What is this?
