With a snap, a piercing fire flashed in the living room, and it suddenly fell into darkness.

"Huh?"

"There's a power outage again!"

A lack of electricity is the norm for the Konoha New Year's Festival, and living on the slightly fringer of the village is always at risk of power outages.

"What then?"

"Then the sleep can only be squeezed." He said.

"Don't!" Ino immediately shook her head, and in the darkness she stood up, only roughly ascertaining Naruto's position, and it took a while for her eyes to adjust to the darkness.

It's not the same as it used to be, and as her body grows like crazy, she becomes more and more sensitive to that kind of thing. Occasionally, her mother would give her some knowledge, which always made her blush.

It is said that the ignorant are fearless, and the more they know, the more cautious they become.

"Are you going back?" His voice came from the darkness, and she could hear it clearly, just asking.

Ino saw him stand up and leaned towards her, and his whole body stiffened.

Relying on his familiarity with the location of the living room, Naruto stood effortlessly in front of Ino. One hand took her arm and spoke.

"Where's your coat?"

"On the coat rack." Her voice changed slightly.

"Hmm."

When he said yes, Ino's back trembled, as if he had been provoked by a nerve. Naruto had slowly departed, seemingly in the dark in the direction of the coat rack.

After a while, Naruto turned back and stumbled into something in between.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"It's okay, I knocked it off." He said.

Immediately, Ino felt the thick winter cotton jacket wrapped around her, and Naruto's deep voice sounded in her ears.

"I'll take you to the entrance to change your shoes now."

"Okay." The word was almost squeezed out of Ino's throat, and when she heard her own trembling voice in the dark, she was suddenly startled, and her face turned red.

She said in her heart that she couldn't see clearly due to the power outage, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But Naruto had already reached over and grabbed her hand, and in a moment of panic, she accidentally put her hand into his clothes.

The moment she touched her abdomen, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and pulled her hand out with a bang.

In the darkness, Naruto let out a dry laugh.

"Are you touching ***?"

"I didn't!" Ino denied it, wanting to be angry but couldn't get angry at all, his cheeks were red and he was afraid of being seen, "I didn't!"

"Well, you don't." Naruto smiled and grabbed her hand like a child, "I'll take you to the entrance to change your shoes and send you back."

He didn't change the law and let Ino stay overnight, one time and another. When a girl realizes the change, avoiding suspicion is not a bad thing.

This is not the estrangement of the relationship, but a further confirmation of the emotion of self-awareness. A twelve-year-old hug and a sixteen-year-old hug are not the same concept, and the latter is often much more complicated.

In the darkness, Ino was led forward, his heart pounding. Suddenly, a sense of taboo appeared in my heart, as if I had secretly tasted some forbidden fruit.

At the same time, she also realized that although Naruto looked thin, he had grown into a man after all. The abdomen and back should have everything, wide and firm, like a knife chisel and an axe.

Naruto held her grip tightly, her palms sweating a little, and the hot breath beside her made her a little confused. Just when she felt a little unbearable, the entrance arrived.

The door was opened, and the cold wind suddenly poured in, and Ino instantly sobered up.

"Are you coming back?" She asked suddenly.

"Huh? What?" Naruto had just opened the door and asked back, the cold wind blowing through his ears and not hearing her very clearly.

"No...... Nothing." She stammered, and slammed the door open, "Let's go first."

The entire Konoha was shrouded in silver-white snow, and the two braved the cold wind and exhaled white air all the way to the mountain flower shop. Naruto's ears were red from the cold, and he beckoned to her.

"You go upstairs early, I'll go back first."

"Wait." Ino whispered to stop him, "You're going to get cold if you go back like this, right?"

"No, it won't." Naruto said with some uncertainty, looking at Ino suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Do you want to ....... Come up and stay for a while, tomorrow...... I'll go back tomorrow?" Ino stood in front of the flower shop, his face redder than a rose in the dim light.

"Anyway...... My parents weren't there anyway."

After a brief moment of thought, Naruto did not hesitate to abandon his reason. Lichee? Ino doesn't even want lychees anymore, what's the use of keeping that thing for himself?

"Okay."

The lazy voice came to her ears, and her reason collapsed. With her heart pounding, Ino suddenly realizes that this is her own home, in case her father comes back tomorrow morning and bumps into her.

Thinking so, she regained consciousness and was standing in the kitchen with her apron on.

Fragmented?

She thought about it and found that it wasn't. She went upstairs with Naruto and turned on the light to let him stay in the living room for a while, and she hid in the kitchen under the pretext of cooking some supper.

Looking at the boiling water in the pot, Ino had only one thought in his heart.

Lose your marbles!

I really brought Naruto home, if I was ....... After a struggle of thoughts, the water in the pot was about to boil dry, and Ino calmed down.

Calm down, now the New Year's Festival, no one will find out so late. My father usually comes back after lunch, so it's good to let him go out early.

As for the mother, the mother will not be able to come back in two or three days.

I took him in by myself, just because it was too late, and it was a snowy day. It's too rude to let him go back alone in the cold wind, well, yes, etiquette.

Naruto subconsciously lay on the couch, a little inhibited, and suddenly realized that this was not his home. Immediately sit up straight, and simply maintain that position honestly.

Even though his uncle and aunt were not there, he still had a sense of proportion.

Ten minutes later.

"Why is your late-night snack so much like washing a pot of water?" Naruto asked helplessly as he looked at the soup wafting with the sauce.

"I was so nervous that I accidentally messed up." Ino covered his face and said, "Are you hungry? I'll get another one."

"No, I'm not hungry." He refused.

Soon, the kitchen was cleaned up. Ino sat down next to the edge of the sofa and said a little nervously.

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's fine."

The atmosphere was condensed, and both of them were a little restrained. Rao is such an indifferent character of Naruto, and he can't relax. He saw that Ino's fingers were all mixed together, and his eyelids jumped.

Xindao turned out that she was also nervous, but this ordinary overnight spent an uneventful night, how did she make it look like a newlywed cave room.

The sofa in the living room, this small world. The lights are bright, and the teenagers and girls are alone in the room. The surroundings are quiet, and any sound will make the two of them extra sensitive.

Suddenly, Ino stood up. She felt that as the host, it was necessary to break the ice and say something.

"If it's okay, go to sleep."

"Huh?"

"No!" Ino covered his mouth, damn it, the more nervous he is, the easier it is to say wrong, "I mean rest together, phew! No...... It's a rest."

She gestured with her hands for a long time, and she couldn't say a word in a hurry.

Naruto couldn't stand it anymore and got up and asked.

"Where's the bathroom?" I'll take a shower first."

"Huh?" Ino looked at him, his pupils dilated, and he looked shocked.

He calmed down a little and spread his hands and said, "I'm not used to sleeping without a bath, even if I sleep on the sofa, I will take a shower."

"Oh." Ino pointed to a room, "That's."

"I'll get you a bath towel." She said, but halfway through the walk, she suddenly realized that the store never stays with guests, and the guests are all in the mountains

In the clan land.

So....... There are no spare clean bath towels.

After struggling for a long time, she paced back and forth in the living room with her pink bath towel in her hand. The towel is very personal, and she will use it later.

The moment Naruto came out of the shower, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Ino muttering to himself with a bath towel in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Ino was also startled to see that Naruto had finished washing, probably standing inside from the warm breeze and drying it. She breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and ran into the bathroom.

Night.

The temperature on a snowy night began to drop dramatically, and the living room suddenly became a little cold. There are only three rooms on the second floor, one for Ino's and one for her parents.

The remaining one is a utility room for flowers, with no beds.

Naruto didn't embarrass Ino and chose to sleep on the sofa. It's just that in the second half of the night, you can feel the temperature drop around you under the quilt, but it's not too cold.

With a click, Ino's door opened a crack. The light in the room leaked like silk threads, and a dim light cast on the corner of the sofa.

At the crack in the door, Ino showed an eye, didn't look at him, and said hesitantly.

"There is no heating in the living room, it's too cold....... Come on, come in."

"Huh?" Naruto was a little confused, and asked as if he wasn't sure, "What did you say?"

But Ino had already opened the door, dressed tightly, and said to him with a serious face.

"Come in."

The room, under bright lights.

Looking at Ino, who was wrapped in the inner and outer three layers, Naruto suddenly wanted to laugh.

"You don't have to cover yourself like this, do you?"

"Yes!" Ino said angrily.

Then, she pointed to the other side fiercely and said, "You sleep over there, don't cross the line, and if you cross the line, I will beat you with a punch."

"Anyway..... Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and I can't watch you freeze to death."
