Chapter 332: I'm Just Like You So You Won't Be Alone
Walking through the lively hall, the ears are full of people's voices and fireworks, and you have to guard against the heat from the improper operation of the adjacent table.
When I went up to the third floor and entered the corridor of the box, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the voices of the diners were completely isolated on the first floor. Beneath your feet is a soft carpet that can be heard from behind the doors.
"I actually want to eat on the first floor, but today is a special situation, so I can only come here." Shikamaru introduced lazily, the two behind him were their own people, and there was nothing that could not be said.
"You can't keep people waiting, it's not good." Ino said.
"Yes, women are trouble."
Ino: "."
Although she knew that Shikamaru didn't mean that, she was still a little upset and couldn't beat Shikamaru, so she looked at Naruto who was snickering beside her.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Naruto's expression grew terrified.
"It's all your fault!"
"Ahh Ino, you're a little unreasonable, aren't you? ”
"So what? Hum. "Ino is becoming more and more unreasonable.
But as soon as she pushed open the box door, she immediately played with the two girls again. As if surrounded by flowers, the girls burst into laughter like silver bells from time to time.
Naruto rolled his eyes and sat down next to Shikamaru and leaned back in his chair to look like an old man.
"When did you come back?" Ding Ci's skillful greetings, dressed casually, already had a bit of an adult's appearance in his tone.
Naruto didn't react, raising an eyebrow and a word popping out of his mouth.
"Today."
"The hearts are in each other's throats, and we bumped into them today." Ding Ci patted him on the shoulder with his thick palm and gave him a look.
"How about you and whom? When are we together? ”
Ino was there, and Ding Ji didn't dare to say the name of the princess directly, so he could only use who to replace him. Shikamaru looked at the menu slowly, and his ears were pricked up.
"Not much." Naruto sniffed, "Young people's careers are important, I'm not as idle as you, and love is vulgar." ”
With a click, Shikamaru slowly threw the menu onto the table and looked at Naruto with a slight disdain.
"I didn't want to part my hands just now, what? Now it's pretended, and it's been a few years since it moved, so you shouldn't have any bad water, right? ”
"What nonsense, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." Naruto said.
"The dish hasn't been served yet." Shikamaru was a little speechless, this person had a hand in changing the topic, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After all, it was still a private matter between Ino and Naruto, but I only mentioned it because they were both small. It's not interesting to say more, after all, no matter how good the relationship is, it's someone else's business.
The door of the box was opened, and the dishes were placed upwards one by one, and the small pot in the middle was raised, and white smoke rose. The atmosphere exploded, and it became lively.
The wine was slowly put on the table, and the bottle was opened and filled.
Shikamaru and Ding Ji seem to have become accustomed to it, and the relationship between the old family and the upper and lower levels is still relatively serious. As an adult, drinking has become a passive skill that ninjas learn when they are depressed.
"I heard that," Shikamaru spoke, slowly opening up everyone's chatterbox.
Several people here know each other, and even if there are two more girls, they will not be cold. Naruto doesn't have to talk to people on purpose, it's enough to pick up a few people occasionally.
Half an hour later, the atmosphere at the table was completely lively. Ino also drinks alcohol, not much drunk, and takes small sips. The last time she got drunk and asked for a kiss to Naruto, she almost died of shame, and she vowed to never do something stupid like that again.
"Rain Country, it's not that scary." Naruto has been running outside for the past few years, and the places he has been to are places that a few people will hardly touch.
In addition, I have been staying with Zilai for a long time, and I know how to provoke topics that interest people. A few random anecdotes from the road are enough to cope with this kind of occasion.
"Will you be so busy in the future?" Ding Ci asked suddenly.
Ino was talking and laughing with the two women, and when he heard the words, he suddenly paused for a moment.
"I don't know, it's not decided yet." Naruto snapped his glass down on the table and said lazily, "I'll probably stay in the village if there's nothing to do, and maybe I'll have to go out on a mission." ”
"Drink less." Ino turned his head to look at him, frowned, and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ji immediately put Naruto's wine glass away like a dogleg, and said with a simple face.
"Drink some water."
Naruto: "."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Shikamaru suddenly stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
"I have something to announce."
It seems to have been planned for a long time, and there are only a few things that can be said on such an occasion. In this tone, it is probably the most important things in life.
Ino looked up at Shikamaru suspiciously, Ding Ji was a little nervous, and the expressions of the other two women were different. Naruto half-squinted, leaning back in his chair, the light narrowing in his eyes.
The box was silent, the pot was rumbling, and the fresh ingredients that Ding Ci had just put down were churning and singing in the hot water.
"Tamako and I are getting married next week." Shikamaru said, a blush on his face.
Smart people are not very prone to blushing, and they will even try to control their expressions morbidly. But Naruto looked at the seriousness and shyness in Shikamaru's eyes, and knew that it was probably true.
"Good!" Ding Ci applauded, and the atmosphere in the box instantly became lively.
The girl named Tamako looked shy, probably expecting it, and she and Shikamaru were blushing when they stood together in the light.
He opened his eyes, got up and said congratulations, the butterfly effect still showing its fangs years later. For Naruto, it's also a good thing.
The significance of a dinner has witnessed the power of the butterfly effect. Whoever marries him will be treated very well.
He glanced at Ino in the afterglow, and could only see her side face, smiling all the time.
The word marriage was unexpectedly a little heavy, and listening to Shikamaru announce that he was going to get married, Naruto didn't feel much in his heart. Ino is very good, and he has a good life.
It's just that once he tries to settle down seriously, things often don't go so well.
The chair was pulled apart, and the three or two got up, Shikamaru and Ding Ji still had something to do. After saying hello, they each left in different directions with their girlfriends.
Ino followed Naruto away as a matter of course, and the two walked out of the private room, breathing some fresh air, and the cold night breeze blew and suddenly felt comfortable.
"What are you thinking?" Ino asked.
"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that time passed so fast." Naruto sighed a little old-fashioned, "I was still giggling together yesterday, but when I turned my head, I found that those guys were ready to enter the next stage of their lives." ”
"Shikamaru doesn't like those jobs, but the elders of the Nara clan want him to be more involved in high-level activities." Ino explained.
"Only when you get married at this time can you delay the trajectory of your life, and it is precisely because you are not ready that you get married."
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Naruto.
"Ding Ji doesn't have so much pressure, but he is a kind person, and Shikamaru will choose to get married soon after he gets married."
"Envy?" Naruto asked, turning his head.
"Hmm."
At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, Ino turned around and stood side by side with Naruto in front of the window looking at the lights of Konoha in the distance, and said with a smile.
"But I know you don't envy, so I don't envy either, so you're not alone."
