All the light was gone, and on the night of this New Year's festival, Naruto remembered that before the power went out, he had seen the clock on the wall, which looked like it was about eleven o'clock.

Waiting for a call is obviously unrealistic, and if the snow crushes the equipment outside, it will have to wait until tomorrow. It was pitch black in front of him, and he suddenly remembered that there was a candle in the drawer.

So I got up, and with a bang, I don't know what I knocked down.

"That." Ino suddenly tensed, and a slight trilling in her voice could be heard.

"Hmm." He turned his head to look in the direction of the sofa and subconsciously responded, "What's wrong?" ”

The living room was dimly lit, and after the eyes got used to the darkness, they could only see a vague outline. The images that remained before the blackout were still in his mind, so Naruto could easily determine Ino's location.

He thought to himself that a ninja should not be afraid of the dark, and it could also be other factors, and he was a little unaccustomed to a power outage for a while.

"It's okay, I am." Ino said that his voice was getting weaker and weaker.

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

"I'm not afraid, suddenly there will be a power outage, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Alright, I'll go get the candles, you sit here and don't move." Naruto admonished.

"Okay." Ino literally sat still, looking at the darkness that enveloped the living room. There was a rustling sound, followed by the hula of the cabinet being opened.

After a few minutes, seeing that Naruto was still rummaging in the dark, Ino couldn't help but get up and ask.

"Can't find it?"

"It should be in a few cabinets around here, and I haven't found it yet." Naruto's slightly distressed voice came, "Wait a little longer"

"I'll help you find it, it's boring to sit here." Ino said, already walking towards the cabinet in the dark. ”

"It's fine." Naruto replied.

"Is it over here?"

Ino squatted down and began to pull the cabinet and asked, his hand groping in the cabinet little by little. The sensation in the dark state is somewhat strange, weakening the vision and making the other four senses more sensitive.

"It should be." Naruto's voice rang in her ears.

"Really?" Ino's voice trembled slightly, and he withdrew his hand again and began to grope on the table above the cabinet, and suddenly felt an arm again.

Then her backhand was gripped and her body trembled violently, and a sound came out of her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Naruto acted as if nothing had happened.

His other hand seemed to continue to rummage through the darkness for candles, and Ino could hear the sound of things being messed up, but he also felt the familiar body temperature of the palm.

An electric current flowed from the palm of her hand through her heart, and the tingling sensation rushed into her brain, and almost instantly Ino felt that she was almost unsteady on her feet. The body was so soft that it looked like it had been drunk.

When people are nervous, a faint sense of bitterness gathers in the throat and the tip of the tongue, and there is little strength to speak.

Ino wanted to say no, but his heart was beating hard.

It was pitch black in front of him, his vision was completely lost, and in his ears was the sound of Naruto rummaging around the counter. After that, he held it like this, and he didn't speak.

But Ino didn't dare to move, allowing his palms to be kneaded and played with by him.

"Did you find it?" Her voice trembled, her eyes misted, and she had to shut up.

"Nope." Naruto had already touched the candle and set it aside, "Maybe I'm confused, maybe it's in the cabinet on the other side of the balcony." ”

With that, he stood up and pulled Ino up along the way. Obviously he was already playing, but he still pretended that nothing had happened, and said naturally.

"Let's go over there and look for it, maybe we'll find it."

"Okay." Ino stood up and began to move, allowing Naruto to lead forward in the darkness.

Leaning on the sofa, the Nine-Tails had a puzzled face, and with its excellent night vision, it glanced at the two people holding hands in the dark, and then at the candle placed on the counter.

I couldn't help but start muttering to myself, the stupidity of human beings is far beyond what it imagined.

It pondered for a moment, should I take the candle in my mouth? But after thinking about it, isn't this really a dog, and decisively gave up this idea.

So Nine-Tails leaned back on the sofa, cocked the dog Jio, and stared at the two stupid humans with a sneer, ready to watch a good show.

Naruto had already led Ino slowly to the small cabinet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, Ino's hands were a little cold, and there was a layer of cocoon in the place of the tiger's mouth.

It was the grip of the shuriken and the kunai, and the rest of the palm was soft. The hand was cold, Naruto said secretly, that could only rely on his own heat transfer.

He suddenly realized that Ino hadn't squeaked yet, and it was too easy to deceive. In line with the principle of taking advantage of nothing, he continued to pretend to look for candles.

He knew best whether there were candles in this place, and he just took the opportunity to touch his hands for a while.

After touching it for a while, Naruto sensed that something was wrong, and Ino was too silent. There was a pause in my heart, the secret way is not good, isn't it really angry?

"Do you want to pull the curtains back, if it's snowing, the light outside is brighter than in the living room." He asked, his other hand already pinching the end of the curtain.

Ino finally reacted, gently shook him back, and said in a low trembling voice with a hint of begging.

"No, no."

But it was already late, the curtains were pulled open with a bang, and the light reflected on the snowy night instantly improved the visibility of the entire living room. Then with this faint light, he saw Ino's state at the moment.

Tears swirled in his eyes, his delicate and fair face was hot and red, his lips were slightly deflated, and he exhaled white air unconsciously.

Seeing this, Naruto was slightly stunned, and his other hand covered her forehead.

"You're not sick, are you?"

"Hmm" Ino snapped his eyes shut.

What a shame! That look was seen! I want to die! Thinking like this, she couldn't speak at all.

The light reflected in the snow converges from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows outside the balcony. The two men held hands and stood together, one left and one right.

The daylight made the curtain, and the silhouettes of the two leaned on the sofa and extended infinitely, past the nine-tails watching the play. and leaning against each other on the empty white wall, like a couple in love.

The hand covering her forehead did not immediately let go, and the flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment. Snowflakes fell on the balcony, but it seemed to fall on the shoulders of the two of them.

Ino slowly opened his eyes, and he saw a strange emotion overflowing from his blue eyes. That kind of emotion that only she can read is the light in feelings.

With a heavy gasp, time began to flow again.

Naruto withdrew the palm that had covered her forehead, coughed and returned to his usual expression, he said to Ino with a smile.

"I think I see where the candle is."

"Okay." Ino pulled out his hand suddenly, and lowered his head a little weakly.

Then in a hazy light, Naruto walked over to the original cabinet and picked up the candle, which he lit with a firelighter. Bright yellow candlelight illuminates a corner.

He carefully held the candle diagonally, burned a little wax oil, and dripped it onto the living room table. After a pause for a second, press the candle against the wax oil.

Ino also sat down, leaning against the couch nearest to the candlelight, and his face had returned to calm.

The Nine-Tails didn't move the nest the whole time, glanced at the two of them with contempt, picked up the wine bottle with his paws, and drank the remaining few sips of wine in one gulp.

Stupid human, it thought.

After Naruto lit the candle, he got up again and lit another candle, got up and carried it into the kitchen, talking as he walked.

"Wait a minute, there should still be boiling water in the kitchen, I'll make you a cup of cocoa."

"Hmm." Ino's mood hadn't completely calmed down, and Yu Yun was still wave after wave, and he didn't hear what Naruto said clearly, but just responded to the situation.

It wasn't until Naruto brought two cups of steaming cocoa that she subconsciously said thank you.

"Don't you like to drink cocoa?" Ino held the cup full of hot cocoa, and his hands gradually warmed.

"I don't like to drink it, it's sweet and greasy, I'd rather drink water than drink this thing." Naruto said, "Usually only girls like you like to supplement sugar or something." ”

"And you're still drinking?"

Naruto smiled, sat down across from her, took a sip of cocoa and said.

"I just want to know what your favorite drink tastes like, and if I just drink your glass, I'll probably be beaten to death by you, so I'll have to settle for the next best."

"That's an exaggeration! I'm so," Ino said, pausing, then frowning.

This person spoke in a set way, and if she said she didn't mind, he would definitely drink the same cup with her directly. If he minds, this person may have to say something strange.

So Ino got up silently and automatically moved away from Naruto a little further.

Naruto: "."

The power went out, and the temperature in the living room naturally cooled down. Ino, who was just wrapped in a bathrobe, couldn't help but shiver, and Naruto realized the coldness as well.

He got up and said to Ino.

"Go to my room and sleep."

"Huh? Why? ”

"The quilt in the guest room is very thin, and now the power is out and there is no heating, so you will catch a cold if you sleep there." Naruto patiently explained, "The quilt in my room is thicker, so."

Originally, I thought that Ino would be righteous and stern in refusal, but it would not be surprising if it was so. After all, he is very self-aware, and in Jing Ye's mind, he estimates that he can be in the top three of the list of the most dangerous things.

Probably already labeled, the kind of person who absolutely can't be assured, something like that.

Surprisingly, Ino didn't refuse, but asked after a moment of silence.

"And where do you sleep?"

"Huh?" This is a question he didn't think about, of course he thought that it would be nice if they could sleep together, but this kind of thing still couldn't be said after all.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said with a frown.

"The fox dog's room has a very thick blanket, so I can only grieve it."

I'll find time to write an extra article tomorrow.
