"Sorry..." Uchiha said suddenly.

"What are you apologizing for?" Uchiha Izumi asked.

"You are saying such depressing words in the middle of the night." Uchiha raised his head and showed a small smile to his husband, "It won't make you unable to sleep later, right?"

"So how do you compensate me?" he asked, climbing up the pole.

"...You are such a person." Even so, she skillfully kissed him on the side of his cheek, and then said, "It's okay, Izuna-kun, don't worry too much about me. Although I will forget it for the time being.

I can’t afford my past, but that doesn’t mean they have disappeared, right? I still have them, I just can’t find them for a while.”

"...Well, that's true."

"Besides, I actually have my own present and future." At this point, she smiled at him again, and said with a serious and grateful expression, "Thank you, Izumi-kun."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for knowing everything, but you are still willing to accept me like this, and are still willing to give me a place to stay. Uchiha, is my present and future." She really likes this place, and maybe she feels sorry for her parents by saying this.

, but... she really likes this place better than the Shirakawa clan. So, if possible, she wants to live in the Uchiha clan for a long time.

Uchiha Izuna did not answer, but he thought that he liked this sentence very much.

At the same time, he once again deeply felt that this guy is really "terrible" ~ He can always say what others like after thinking carefully; and she doesn't even need to think, she can do it just by instinct and heart

to this matter.

Maybe he should say something like "So you have to be good" or "So you have to listen to me" at this moment, but he suddenly didn't want to say it. Maybe it was because she would definitely be able to do it even if he didn't say it, or maybe because

…

He didn't want to trade all this.

It doesn't make any sense.

So, he just continued to stroke his wife's little head, and once again thought from the bottom of his heart, how could it be so easy to touch? He almost couldn't put it down. Then again, if he kept touching her every day... Well,

The kitten won’t be touched bald by me, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

"?" He tilted his head.

He looked down at her big black and white eyes and said seriously: "Nothing~"

"...You definitely have some bad ideas."

"Who knows~"

At this moment...

Suddenly there was a fierce sound of rain outside the house.

This summer night rainstorm has finally come down.

at the same time.

The air that had always been stuffy seemed to become cooler in an instant.

"...It's raining."

"Yes~ The rain you hate most has finally come down."

"..." She didn't say anything, she just punched him lightly, and then said softly, "But it feels a lot cooler all of a sudden."

"It's raining after all."

"Want to see."

"What?"

"I want to go outside to see the thunderstorm, Izuna-kun, is that okay?" She still didn't want to give up, and wanted to take a practical look at the current weather, hoping to think of something.

He originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the longing on her little face, he couldn't say such words, so he had to sigh, and then stood up with her in his arms.

"I can walk by myself..."

"Either be held by me, or lie down obediently, choose one~"

"..." She puffed up her face slightly and decisively chose the former.

After a while...

Uchiha Izunara opened the paper partition door and stood on the corridor outside the bedroom with his wife in his arms like a small and exquisite doll, watching tonight's thunderstorm with her.

The eaves of the corridor are carefully designed. Even on such a heavy rainy day, the rainwater only hits the eaves first and then gathers into a stream and flows down the shallow grooves on the tiles. In the process, no rainwater splashes inside.

side, so people can stand or sit on the promenade safely without worrying about getting their clothes and skin wet.

The house ninjas who were far away from the bedrooms in the courtyard looked at the host and hostess in the night with some curiosity, and wondered: This late at night... Mr. Izuna and Mrs. Kiko are not sleeping, so what are they doing standing on the corridor?

Rabbits with red eyes squatted quietly in the grass and bushes, staring at -

Maybe it's a little unkind to think this way, but they are indeed waiting for some "new version of big news". After all, with the departure of Mr. Izuna, the people in the left-behind clan stopped talking after tea and snacks.

, life is lonely~ So, if Izuna-sama creates something for them as soon as he comes home, they will be very happy~

However……

To their disappointment, the two of them stood on the corridor for a while and then returned to the bedroom.

So...

"Master Izuna and Mrs. Kiko came out specially just to see the rain?"

"...As expected of Mr. Izuna."

"Well, isn't it a bit romantic?" This tribesman tried to create some news.

"Then are you willing to stay up late at night and hold your wife out to watch the rain in pursuit of romance?"

"No, I don't want to, thank you."

"If it were someone like me, if I dared to wake her up at night, well..."

"...Everyone understands."

"You are so romantic, yet so docile towards your wife, you are truly worthy of being Izuna-sama~" This tribesman continued to work hard to create news.

"Who says it's not~"

The others nodded repeatedly.

…

So Uchiha Izuna has gained the title of "the most romantic man in her clan", which is really gratifying~

Of course, he didn't know about this at this time. He just carried her back to the bedroom and tucked her back into the bed. By the way, he reached out and grabbed her feet, which were a little cold from being outside for a while.

, first held it in his hands, and then simply lay down and clamped it with his legs.

At the same time, he opened his arms and hugged her whole body, thereby expelling the cold rainy night from her body.

He knocked his chin on the top of his wife's head, rubbing it with the thought that "my wife might be bald one day", and asked with a smile: "You should be satisfied now, right?"

Although he didn't think of anything, Uchiha Ouzi still smiled and nodded: "Yeah~ Thank you, Izuna-kun."

"actually……"

"What?"

"There's no need to apologize to me all the time, right?"

"...That's right." Uchiha Tizi tilted his head, "It seems that couples should not be so polite. Then...I will try not to thank you all the time in the future, in daily small things."

"You see, I do this very well."

"...Please, please be a little more polite to me every day, thank you."

"You said 'thank you' again."

"Because it's a big deal."

…

After a few familiar words, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then...

Uchiha lowered his head and buried his face in her husband's chest again. At the same time, he took the initiative to raise a hand and hooked it around his neck. His fingertips gently rubbed his neck and said softly: "Izuna-kun

, Good night, let’s continue to sleep.”

"Well, good night."

So the two of them closed their eyes one after another.

However……

Early next morning.

After Uchiha opened his eyes, he was a little surprised to find that his husband's head was actually in his arms.

"..."

She originally thought that he was deliberately teasing him with bad intentions, but it turned out that it was not a prank. Maybe it was because he was too hard on the road yesterday, maybe because he was disturbed by her last night. In short, he did wake up later than her today.
