With an extremely guilty feeling, Uchiha slowly lowered his eyes and slowly stopped chewing.

"What?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at the little food left on the tray and asked, "Are you full?" Then he said in a very straight manly manner, "There is only the last bit left. Don't waste it. Come on, come on."

He didn't have the habit of leaving food, and he knew that she didn't, so he thought, "How about we finish this meal properly?" Since there really wasn't much left.

Uchiha: "..." Suddenly I wanted to laugh.

She found that this man was very powerful, and his words always made her very angry, and his words made her want to laugh, and many times made her dumbfounded. However, his words were right and could not be wasted, so she said "dong"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he opened his mouth again.

"That's right." Uchiha Sasuke then continued to stuff the remaining food into the person's mouth with satisfaction, and said by the way, "Eat well to be healthy. You are too thin."

Uchiha thought to himself: How are you so good? Aren't you also a slender type? You are just a little taller than me, "Humph."

Soon, the food was finished.

Uchiha Sasuke put down the dishes, pushed the tray to one side, then took out the handkerchief he always carried with him from his pocket, and carefully wiped the mouth of the person in front of him.

Uchiha turned his head sharply to avoid his hand, then took the handkerchief and whispered: "I can do it myself."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at his hand, which had become empty in an instant. He didn't say anything, but watched intently as she wiped the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief that belonged to him, then folded it and wiped it gently.

Lips.

His eyes darkened instantly.

Because not so long ago…

He kissed the lips that were being wiped at this moment.

Although it was only a brief contact, he remembered how warm, soft, fragrant and...

Uchiha Sasuke reached out his hand decisively again and pressed the left shoulder of the person in front of him who was covered with a quilt. He pinched her delicate chin with his right hand. At the next moment, he turned his head again and leaned down. During the movement, he

His breathing became faster unconsciously. He was like a hungry bee, eager to absorb the most wonderful honey in the world.

However……

The Uchiha who was "sneak-attacked" not long ago raised his hand, pinched someone's neck firmly and firmly, pinched it and pushed it away, frowning and asked: "Are you dissatisfied with me before?"

Didn’t I beat you hard enough?”

How dare you come?!

——Are you too arrogant, or do you think I can’t lift the knife?

It's a good thing she didn't mention it. When she mentioned someone, she immediately took advantage of the situation and acted coquettishly: "You hit me hard. My abdomen is full of bruises. You rub it for me, just like last time." He looked in the mirror before.

He lifted up his clothes and took a look, and found that his belly was covered in blues and purples, which was really scary.

Uchiha almost laughed out of anger, and then answered decisively: "No."

"……What?"

"Whether it's rubbing the bruises for you or what you did just now, my answer is - no." Uchiha pushed the other person away with a slight force, and said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, Sasuke, but

I refuse."

Uchiha Sasuke showed an incomprehensible expression: "You...reject me?" He was actually rejected? How could she reject him!

"...I'm very grateful for your affection for me," Uchiha Oiko felt embarrassed and wanted to avert her eyes, but she felt that doing so at this time would definitely be disrespectful to the person in front of her, so,

She looked at him firmly and finished the rest of her words, "But, I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and fell into a long silence.

In the process, the Uchiha belt slightly wrapped the small quilt around him again, without urging, but patiently waiting for the person in front of him to finish thinking.

I don’t know how long it has been...

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head and asked: "What's the reason?"

"What?"

"You can't reject me for no reason, so give me a reason."

You can refuse if you want, but you must give him a reason why we absolutely cannot be together, such as "We are actually long-lost siblings", otherwise, he will not accept it.

"..." Uchiha Oiko feels that this is not unreasonable. In fact, she has indeed had the experience of rejecting others in the past. The most common reason at that time was, "Sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​​​falling in love right now."

This is indeed not a lie, but the truth. But in fact, the truth is - not only does she have no idea of ​​​​falling in love, she also probably does not have the ability to fall in love.

Uchiha Sasuke sneered directly: "Do you think this 'universal reason' is very convincing?" Who hasn't used it? What a coincidence, he has used it many times.

"...Then what do you want me to say?" Uchiha asked, "Tell you bluntly - I'm sorry, Sasuke, I don't like you at all. Like this?"

"You already said it."

"...Then I'm sorry." Uchiha turned his head sharply, "So, give up." At this point, she closed her eyes, "Sasuke, instead of choosing someone who doesn't like you at all, it's better to choose

Someone who likes you very much."

"Then why don't you do it yourself?"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke stretched out his hands, grabbed the shoulders of the person in front of him, and said: "Sister Oiko, I told you - no matter what time, no matter what, you have the right to refuse. But at the same time, I should also have the right to say no.

Continue to pursue your power. So, you can reject me, but I will not give up." After saying that, he immediately implemented his declaration at the moment -

He asked with serious eyes, "Sister Daizi, I like you, are you willing to date me?"

"You can continue to refuse, but I will keep chasing you and keep asking until either of us gives up. But, I don't think that person will be me."

Having said this, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with certainty: "I have such confidence."

"...Sasuke, don't be like this." Uchiha said with a helpless expression, "There are many people better than me in this world, aren't there?"

"No, I like you, you are the best."

"...I'm much older than you."

"Age, gender, status, family background, none of these are issues."

"We haven't known each other for a long time, and we don't really understand each other. There are still some inevitable generation gaps."

"We have plenty of time to figure this out across these."

…

The Uchiha thought feebly: I'm almost like standing in the dock. No matter how many pieces of evidence I list to "exonerate myself", I will be mercilessly refuted by Sasuke, who is the prosecutor.

He is both a prosecutor and a judge, and he stands firm and determined to declare her "guilty."

Until the end, she deeply realized that it would be impossible not to tell the truth.

He was simply like the brightest and clearest mirror in the world, forcing her to face her own "incompleteness".

"... Sasuke, this is not your problem, but my problem." A bitter smile escaped from the corner of Uchiha's mouth, "I know, I swear I know, your love is by no means a bad thing, but... to be honest

, I’m scared.”

"...Are you... afraid of me?" Uchiha Sasuke showed an incomprehensible expression again, "Is my confession such a terrible thing to you?" Did he... make her disgusted like this? But in the past,

There's no sign of this, is there?

"This is not your problem, it is my problem." Ochiha repeated his words again, then slowly lowered his head with a sad expression, and said softly, "What I told you... I experienced something before.

A failed love, it... lasted for a long time, from the time we met until we broke up, it was really long... It consumed a lot of my innocence, purity, emotions, love, energy and... well, I have some

I can't figure it out." She wrapped the quilt tightly around her body again and curled up more and more. "I didn't lie or deceive anyone. After the breakup, I really tried hard to come out, and I was almost done.

, Now when I see the photo of that person, I no longer cry bitterly, and I can clearly realize the fact that 'we are over', but..."

"...but?" Sure enough, she still can't forget it? That over-the-top guy...shouldn't he use new happy memories to cover up the pain and sorrow of the past? He is very willing to help her.

"It wasn't until today that I realized that in addition to these, I also accidentally lost something important."

If Uchiha Sasuke felt something, he once again reached out and put his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him, held her pale and cold cheek with his other hand, gently raised her face, and asked in a low voice: "Then

What is it?"

The Uchiha raised his head and silently stared at the person in front of him, his dark eyes filled with complicated and unspeakable emotions, and then he said slowly: "I probably... at least now and for who knows how long in the future, I can no longer fall in love.

"

"...because of fear?"

"Well." She unconsciously turned her head to his warm palm, lowered her eyes slightly, and fluttered her thick eyelashes slightly, "Sasuke, loving someone and falling in love means giving yourself to that person.

, which means that that person has the power to hurt you. As long as the other person is willing, he can hurt you deeply anytime, anywhere."

"Then do you think..." Uchiha Sasuke asked, "Will I hurt you?"

Uchiha was stunned for a moment, thought again, and then slowly shook his head: "I think, probably not." But, that person...did he want to hurt her at the beginning of their relationship? No,

Absolutely not. Therefore, everything is never absolute.

"Then, why not?"
