Yamanaka flower shop.

There was a dull sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase on the second floor, and the lady looked up at the sound with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ino, aren't you going on a mission tomorrow?"

"Can't sleep." Ino, who was wearing loose pajamas, rubbed his eyes, his face looked a little haggard, "I'll come to the store, and my mother will go and rest." ”

"Are you okay?" Rino Yamanaka asked.

The shop is brightly lit, flowers are neatly arranged on the shelves, and moths are flying around the lighted light stands. At night, the street gradually became noisy, and the sound slowly seeped in through the glass shop door.

It was pitch black outside, and you could see the big green tree outside the store silent in the dim light.

Ino withdrew his gaze and said with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, mother, I'll be on a mission tomorrow afternoon, and I still have plenty of time."

Rino Yamanaka nodded, got up from the counter and went upstairs. Ino sat down in front of the chair and found a book to look at absentmindedly.

The store was quiet, and she stared at the line on the book with a slight distraction.

After the day the camping ended, nothing seemed to have changed. Iruka gave an excellent rating on the assessment records of almost everyone, except for Naruto.

She regretted that she was a little impulsive that day, but after thinking about it carefully, there was no need to say those superfluous words at all.

The stakes of the ninja profession are too high, and the greater the expectations given, the worse things will happen. There is still a long time ahead, and no one knows what the future holds.

But the words spoken are like water that has been spilled, and cannot be recovered.

Thinking of what happened that day, Ino couldn't help but sigh. At that time, the direction of things was completely out of her control, and some words came out directly without thinking about it.

The bell jingles, and the door is opened.

"Welcome." Ino looked up, and stopped halfway through his words.

The late autumn nights are still cool, and people tend to become lazy. With a squeak, Naruto pushed the door of the Yamanaka flower shop open, and the noise of the street outside suddenly poured into the shop.

Ino looked at the person with complicated eyes, the man had loose blond hair, was wearing loose white short sleeves, and a pair of trousers at random, without a forehead guard to reveal a smooth forehead.

Carrying a food box in his hand, he has long hands and feet, and his height has really grown very fast in recent times. He didn't fully step away when he walked, and the blue eyes hidden under the blonde hair slowly fixed on Ino's face.

Then his pupils shrank and he smiled fearlessly.

Under the bright yellow light, Ino couldn't help but want to laugh too, but he still held back. She pushed the book in front of her forward, her mouth slightly deflated, and she said angrily.

"Don't stay here without buying flowers."

"Buy it." Naruto leaned over and placed the food box on the counter, lazily finding a high chair to sit across from Ino, "I'll buy whichever one you like." ”

"I like them all."

"That's all bought."

"Cut." Ino muttered, "I've seen too many flowers, there's no point in you giving me anything, so don't waste your efforts." ”

"Let's send something to eat." Naruto said.

Ino glanced at him obliquely, leaning against the counter with his head half-propped up, and glanced at Naruto. He looked out the window again, and finally looked back and paused for two seconds on the food box.

"What's that?"

"I just came back from a mission, and I haven't eaten yet, so I brought you food, and I'll eat a little by the way." Naruto told the truth, he didn't even blink an eye.

"Shouldn't you say it was brought to me specifically?" Ino frowned, looking dissatisfied with his attitude, "Even if you say that, I will feel a little disgusted. ”

"But your honest story sounds even more infuriating."

"I'm hungry." Naruto said, "If you say that, you're going to deliberately keep me from eating it." Maybe I've already eaten it, but I'll still force it to finish. ”

"Hmph, you're thinking too badly." Ino will turn his head and say with some smugness, "I'm sorry, I don't have an appetite at all right now." ”

"Okay."

Naruto sat directly across from Ino and slowly opened the food box and began to place a bowl of vegetables, soup and fruit on the counter.

"It's too easy to eat." Ino picked up the book again, sat back in his seat, and said nonchalantly, "It's like a meal made in a hurry." ”

"It's already the limit of cooking." Naruto didn't eat it directly, looked at Ino and asked, "But. I suddenly wanted to know what Ino thought of this dish. ”

"Is this a hint for me to take a bite?"

"Not really, if you can taste it with a sniff, it doesn't have to be that troublesome."

"Your reason is too far-fetched, if that's the case, I won't eat a bite." Ino scanned the page many times, but didn't read a word.

"Actually, I don't care about Ino's evaluation, I just want you to take a bite, and then I find a reason to take advantage."

"Perverted!" Ino only showed a pair of eyes from the top of the book, revealing a look of disdain, "What is going on in my head." ”

"Maid outfit."

"Die!" Ino threw the book over with a bang, and his face suddenly turned crimson, "My mother is still upstairs, you'd better not say anything strange." ”

"Okay." Naruto looked like he wanted to say something.

Looking at Naruto's slightly threatening look, but his expression and pretending to be sincere, he suddenly became angry. He took a few steps forward and screwed it around his waist.

As if he had lost his sense of pain, Naruto picked up a piece of bacon and handed it over, smiling.

"I was going to go home and sleep directly, but I suddenly wanted to see you, so I came over directly."

"Hmm"

Ino nervously looked back in the direction of the stairs on the second floor, frowned closer, hesitated and bit off the bacon in one bite. Cheeks puff slightly, then swallow.

She lowered her voice and let go of the hand that was twisting the soft flesh around Naruto's waist.

"I don't want to see you like this at all! Perverted! ”

"That's a pity, it's almost like you." Naruto lowered his head and began to eat by himself, as if he hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.

"Who would want to talk to you, your statement is disgusting." Ino's hands behind his back were wrung together, "That day. The events of that day. ”

"Which day?" Naruto didn't lift his head either.

"The day of the summer camp at the ninja school." Ino said hesitantly, "What happened that day I. I said a lot of very strange things. ”

"Is there one?" Naruto stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Ino with a lazy look in his eyes, "What did you say?" I thought you and Hinata were working together to trick me. ”

"It's not a joke, maybe it's not feeling well in the rain and talking some nonsense." Ino whispered with some writ, then looked at Naruto again, changing the subject.

"Don't talk about that."
