Fugaku House.

"I'm back."

Resolving an unprecedented crisis of trust, Tomiya, who has temporarily finished a tiring day's work, pushes open the door of the house with a blank face, shows a formulaic smile to Maikoto, who has been waiting in the living room for a long time, and then bows his head to change his slippers.

"Welcome back."

Mikoto, who had been waiting at home for a long time, heard Fugaku's footsteps early, and she used to be a shinobi until she was married to Fuyue by her father before retiring.

She bowed to her husband with a sweet smile, and the half-inserted red tulips were still on the table behind her.

Mai Trin practicing floral arrangement.

Flower art, i.e. flower arrangement, is an important part of the education of noble women in the ninja world.

Through the harmony and unity of lines, colors, forms and textures, the artistic conception of "quietness, elegance, beauty, truth, and harmony" is pursued, which is a kind of creation that expresses emotions.

This is Mai Trin's daily life after retiring, her husband teaches her son to practice flower art, learn some makeup skills to maintain her skin and posture, and occasionally deal with some problems that are inconvenient for Fuyue to deal with......

A perfect lady.

"Thank you."

Fugaku thanked Mai Trin, and the husband and wife were full of politeness, and then walked to the couch and sat down, his back still tense and his eyes closed.

Sitting upright without smiling is the daily life of Fuyue most of the time. Talking and laughing with his life is part of his job.

Mikoto put Fugaku's shoes in place, washed her hands, took another glass of water and sat down opposite Fugaku, put the water in front of Fugaku, and asked softly.

"You look more tired today than ever, is there something wrong with the garrison department or is it the family?"

Fuyue is not smiling every day when he comes home, sitting still in danger, and never bringing home the resentment at work, which is Fuyue's insistence.

It's just that after more than ten years of getting along with the husband and wife, Mai Trin can still see Fuyue's hidden tiredness many times. This exhaustion increased dramatically every day after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

And today's Fuyue's exhaustion and irritability between his eyebrows and eyes are second only to the time of the Nine-Tails Rebellion three years ago.

"Both." Fu Yue closed his eyes and said calmly, but did not explain in detail.

Eyes are the windows of the soul, Fugaku knows that Mikoto is a very smart person, for the sake of his family, he doesn't want Mikoto to know that his sadness at work will only add to his troubles.

Mai Qin was slightly disappointed, and a fleeting gloom and loneliness flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Fuyue has always been like this, at home, gentle and polite to his wife, never overstepping, and teaching his sons well.

No matter how much grievances and sufferings are suffered at work, he will never confide in his family, and he has been a perfect father and husband for more than ten years.

But he is an unqualified lover.

Mikoto doesn't feel the slightest "love" or "romance" in this perfect marriage, and she thinks that there is no proper communication between lovers between her and Fugaku.

What's even more sad is that when he first got married, perhaps because he was eager to pass on the lineage, Fuyue was still greedy for that kind of life. After Itachi was born, Fugaku suddenly became a saint.

As for Sasuke...... Sasuke and Itachi are 5 years apart, and his birth was just an accident.

Mai Trin knew that Fu Yue didn't want to say it and wouldn't say it, and continuing to ask would only make Fu Yue unhappy.

It's not like a normal family like a normal family when he goes home to talk about trivial things in life, Fuyue closes his eyes and doesn't say a word, he doesn't want his wife to be infected by his own troubles.

Mikoto also sat in front of Fuyue without saying a word, she knew that if she said some innocuous trivial things in life, she would definitely be able to liven up the atmosphere, and Fugaku would definitely agree.

It's just that Fu Yue is already so tired, forcing him to talk about some trivial matters, how can a good wife do?

Obviously, both parties are very gentle and polite for each other's sake, but the atmosphere in the living room is weird, not at all like what a normal family should be.

And this is the daily life of the Fuyue family.

After some time, Fuyue's eyelids suddenly began to beat, and he had regained some of his spirit.

Seeing that her husband finally moved, Mikoto knew that Fuyue had probably switched back from his work, and the soft hands under his sleeves grabbed his clothes and reminded, "It's not early." ”

"Well, it's really time to rest, you go to bed early."

Fuyue opened his eyes and whispered softly to his wife opposite.

"Sasuke went to Itachi's place to sleep, and after dinner he pestered Itachi to tell a ninja story all night."

A flush crept up the pink neck, and the hands that grabbed the sleeves of the shirt were slightly forced, and Mai Trin's hint was a little more obvious.

Fuyue's tiger body was shocked.

Fugaku's house is a set of courtyards, and the main rooms such as Fugaku's bedroom, study, and living room are the main ones in the front, and there are several side rooms on each side, and Itachi moved to the side room after the age of 6.

"I'm a little tired today......"

Fu Yue observed his wife's expression, and seemed to be careless, but in fact he was cautious and comforted: "You go to sleep first, I still have some problems in the family and the garrison department to think about." ”

Alas~

Mai Qin sighed in her heart, she also knew that she was a little strong, in recent years, Fu Yue had almost indifferent to all desires, let alone today, which was unprecedentedly tired?

It's just that although Fuyue, who is over 30 years old, has entered the end of her career ahead of schedule because of responsibilities and hardships, Mikoto, who is 26 years old this year, is about to usher in her peak because of her long absence.

But how can a husband and wife who respect each other like guests force each other to do something he doesn't want to do because of personal desires.

"Actually, I'm not very sleepy, I'm just worried that you might be too sleepy."

Meiqin Shi Ran got up and smiled to hide the embarrassment in her heart, took the initiative to come to Fu Yue's side, and said softly, "Take off your coat."

I've been wearing it for three days, and I'm going to wash it for you while I'm fine. You go to the study, it's quieter. ”

"Okay, thank you."

Afraid that his wife would have some schemes, Fuyue hurriedly took off his coat and handed it to Mikoto, left the living room as if he were fleeing, and went into the study and closed the door tightly.

Mikoto came to the laundry room with Fugaku's coat, pinched the collar and took a closer look to see if there were any deep stains that needed to be cleaned.

The evening breeze blew, the unfolded coat fluttered, and a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol wafted towards Mai Trin.

The lady's beautiful jade-nosed snow-capped mountain moved slightly, and the faint smell of tobacco and alcohol seemed to be very much like trying to deliberately cover it up but not perfectly.

Wine is a bar, smoke is the smoke of a lifetime, Fuyue went to the bar of a lifetime today for a field trip.

Where is the smell of tobacco and alcohol, could it be that I am mistaken?

Mai Trin's brows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed her coat and leaned in front of her, wanting to smell it more carefully, whether she had an illusion just now.

"Pak~"

A small pink box is drawn out of the coat pocket and lands at Mai Trin's feet.
