Chapter 317
I saw the handsome young man standing on the tree, his hair on both sides looking particularly flowing in the breeze.
His every move was calm, but his eyes were filled with emotions that Sakura couldn't understand...
But I shouldn't have had much contact with Neji, right? I shouldn't have offended him, right?
However, it must be said that Hyuga Neji is a well-deserved genius. Although he is a branch of the Hyuga clan, he is the first genius among the younger generation of the Hyuga family to comprehend the Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Styles and Kaiten.
As for Neji's defeat in the Chunin Tournament, if Naruto didn't have the Nine-Tails sealed in his body and didn't have that unique opportunity, he might not have been able to defeat him.
But to be honest, although they only carried out one mission together, in Sakura's opinion, Neji is the most meticulous one besides Shikamaru, and he is very calm and composed in his dealings with others...
This inexplicable feeling of embarrassment made Sakura hesitate for a moment. Should she say hello before leaving?
Just when she was about to wave, she found that the man had left.
... ...This is really strange. Never mind. If I don’t leave now, I will really become an ice sculpture. But based on my personality, it will probably become a sand sculpture, right?
Sakura also put today's encounter behind her mind...
------
In fact, Neji did not leave. After confirming that Sakura had left, Neji came to the wooden bridge.
He placed his hand on the railing of the wooden bridge and unintentionally walked along that railing to where Sakura had been standing before.
It's cold...
------
When Sakura returned home, she quickly ate her meal and then went back to her room, planning to take a hot bath and change into the new pajamas prepared by her family.
It's almost winter now, and we need to change into thicker clothes. After all, it snows in Konoha Village in winter...
On these snowy days, people rarely carry their bags to travel far away to carry out missions. Instead, they choose to sit indoors, drink warm tea, and chat with each other about recent stories in the village and their experiences outside.
Fortunately, there is a bathtub in the bathroom, which is only used at this time of year.
Sakura prepared the hot water, added shower gel into the bath ball, and then rinsed it under the faucet. After getting a full tub of bubbles, she tested the water temperature with her hand. After making sure the water temperature was suitable, she slowly took off her clothes and walked slowly into the bathtub.
With only my head exposed above the water, I couldn't help but close my eyes in the heat, enjoying the gentle bubbles bursting on my skin, releasing an intoxicating fragrance that made me feel like I was in a sea of flowers... I couldn't help but murmur, "It's great... As expected, a bath is a must in cold weather..."
However, after feeling the water temperature drop, Sakura stood up decisively, picked up the bath towel beside her and placed it on her head, then put on a bathrobe and used the heat in the bathroom to take care of her skin.
After finishing everything, he walked out of the bathroom.
When her eyes fell on the unfinished dark grey scarf on the desk, she couldn't help but sigh.
Although as a medical ninja I know how to use medical ninja tools, I still need more practice to weave a scarf. Fortunately, after failing several times, I finally got the hang of it.
I wrapped my hair with a bath towel, put on a plush pajamas, and sat at the desk, turning on the light to knit the scarf. While knitting the scarf, I had to remind myself not to use too much force, and it took more than an hour...
When it was almost over, Sakura put the scarf around her neck and measured the length. After confirming the length, she stopped the needle, rubbed her eyes, and then stood up to stretch her slightly stiff body.
Whenever she has free time, Sakura likes to go to the window, open it, and enjoy the scenery outside.
Just like now, with the arrival of night, the east wind brings the cold light of stars, and when it blows past the window, it causes the curtains to sway gently, and the cold air is filled with the breath of winter, as if the whole world is immersed in this dreamy cold wind.
There was a hint of coldness on Sakura's face, but it was precisely because of this coldness that her brain became very clear.
While enjoying the scenery, I felt someone walking towards this direction.
When I saw that familiar figure, I couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Sakura stood in front of the window, looking at the boy below, "Why...are you here? Wasn't it the mission we were supposed to do this morning?"
Shikamaru didn't know why. According to the normal schedule, he should have rested there for a night before leaving, but as soon as he finished the task, he wanted to go back to the village.
All the uneasiness and anxiety along the way disappeared when I saw my sweetheart.
The young man said sincerely, "Because I miss you."
