He ​​didn't hesitate, opened his mouth and swallowed the roasted meat in one bite.

Bright and dim lights lingered, people were buzzing around, and the light on the street was like a lamp strip. Ino covered her mouth with one hand upright, and her peach blossom eyes were like crescent moons.

Her smile was clean and warm, with a smoky air, and she looked at him with a look of success.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." He lowered his eyelids and smiled on his face.

He is not the kind of person who can't let go of his body to coax people. Even if he didn't do anything wrong, he doesn't mind admitting it, but it's just a matter of words.

For him, there is no conflict between admitting a mistake and flirting. Ino is soft-hearted and becomes happy after a little coaxing. The young man is full of joy and gathers and disperses at will.

What's more important is that Ino will respond, and there will be a response to every word. Just like throwing a pebble into a deep pool, there will be an echo no matter how long it takes, and it will not be fooled.

This serious attitude makes people very comfortable, and the occasional temper is harmless.

"Why were you transferred to the Hokage Building?" He leaned on his chair, the firelight not far away dancing in his eyes, his forehead was white, and his Adam's apple was closed up and down.

"I'm disgusted." Ino saw a piece of barbecue stuffed into his mouth, the corners of his mouth were moist with oil, and he chewed it as if he was angry.

"Who can dislike you? You are so popular that people chase you to the door of the store, huh?" He glanced sideways at Ino and said in a lazy voice.

"Do you still remember that?" Ino felt a little guilty, but when she thought that she had done nothing, she immediately held her head high and said, "I don't want to, I have already clearly rejected it."

"Yeah." He responded.

Ino watched him reach for the drink, and with a slight hook of his fair and slender fingers, the drink cup was held in his hand. This action made her heart tremble inexplicably, as if the fingers were hooked on her heart.

She looked away, but her thoughts spread like a creeper. His hands seemed very nice, and it would definitely be very comfortable if they were touched by fingertips like that.

The fingertips traced the back carefully, from the shoulder blade to the collarbone, and then downward.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah!" Ino almost fell off the chair. After realizing what she had just thought, she was too embarrassed to look at him, let alone his hands.

"No!! It's nothing!! I just got distracted, haha."

"Work is tiring, and it's normal to lose focus occasionally," he said.

"Yes." Ino said with a guilty smile, "It must be because I am too tired from work. It's all my father's fault for insisting on transferring me from the Intelligence Department."

"Aren't you serious about your work?"

"No!" she retorted, raising her chopsticks, taking a sip of her drink, and placing it heavily on the table. "He actually said that I was too popular and that standing there would affect my work!!"

"His own daughter was transferred away right away! What an old-fashioned person!"

Hearing this, Naruto's mouth twitched slightly.

Xin Dao obviously took advantage of Sakura's vacation and your old father was helping you brush up your qualifications. Besides, the Hokage's office is a place where ordinary people can stay if they want?

"So how long have you been staying in the Hokage's office?"

"I don't know, at least wait until Sakura comes back from vacation, but Sakura hasn't been seen recently." Ino murmured and looked at Naruto.

"Have you seen Sakura recently?"

"We just had dinner together at noon today." He had nothing to hide and said directly.

"Why doesn't she eat with me?" Ino raised her face and frowned, "I took over her shift, shouldn't she want to eat with me?"

"Oh, she owes me a meal."

"She pays the bill?" Ino was stunned for a moment, "She has been digging around recently, saying that she wants to save money for a big thing, and I pay for all the meals she has with me."

"I bought it, she had no money." Naruto said calmly.

"What kind of treat is this?"

"I didn't expect her to invite you. You two are the flower of the intelligence department and the flower of the medical class, so you are a good match." He said casually.

"Really? Which one do you like better?" Ino asked, holding her face in her hands.

"Huh?"

"Oh, by the way, who do you like more, including Hinata?"

"You."

"It's so perfunctory." Ino said, holding the drink and blowing it carefully, "But I'm quite happy to hear you say that. Don't you think I'm very"

She raised her head, but was stunned.

Naruto was looking at her and smiling, his eyes reflecting the eager light of fireworks. The moment they met their eyes, Inoya felt as if he didn't care about anything anymore.

Promises will change, people's hearts will change, but the sincerity of her youth will not change. At this moment, she knows that no matter what the answer is, it doesn't matter anymore.

She had seen Naruto's lazy appearance dormant in an old-fashioned apartment a few years ago, and had seen his gloomy triangular eyes on the street. His whole person looked like a ferocious beast covered in scars and hiding.

It wasn't until Tsunade-sama came that things turned around. The things she couldn't solve were solved one by one over time, and he finally became a normal person as he wished.

Looking at the peaceful and warm smile in his eyes, Ino really hoped that all discrimination and injustice in the world would disappear and all hatred would not come near him.

I hope that he will always walk on the crowded road, stay away from all diseases and misfortunes, and overcome all sadness and separation, and she will say that she likes him in the sea of ​​people.

If the person she meets is an ordinary boy, she will hope to possess him. But if it is Naruto, she just hopes that the world will treat him as kindly as she does.

And she also understood that no matter whether she would go to him or not, as long as he stood there, someone would love him. No one asked him to shine brightly, but only wanted him to be happy for the rest of his life.

"So full." She leaned back in the chair and said, looking at the starry sky above her head and touching her slightly swollen belly. "You will also come to pick me up from get off work tomorrow, right?"

"If you want, it's not impossible to accept them every day." He said lightly, "After all, you have so many suitors, it's good to keep one on your side."

"Yes! Then you have to come every day!" Ino's mood suddenly became very good because of these words. She smiled and drank her drink while gently kicking him with her feet.

The hot evening breeze blows constantly, and the green leaves of the green trees rustle. The smell of being sunbaked is covered by the smoke of barbecue fireworks. The air soaks into the lungs and only a little bit of the sweet aftertaste can be smelled.

The atmosphere was just right, and the noise of the crowd on the street came through not too far away. Neither of them spoke, and their snow-white feet just rubbed against his trouser legs.

Until both of them had smiles on their faces, they looked at each other for a long time, and the feelings in their eyes gradually overlapped little by little. It was like a mountain made of sand in a house, carefully but greedily wanting to

Stack more and get higher.
