In the following days, the two of them interacted with each other as often as once a week.

In the middle of the journey, Ochiha Uchiha no longer had the energy to drive to her boyfriend for dinner after get off work, because with the advancement of the "Senju Uchiha official alliance", she had to work overtime five days out of seven. The result of five days of hard work was , the remaining two days can be deliberately set aside, not to rest for yourself, but to have enough time for the tomato-flavored black cat to bond with you.

He had been waiting patiently for a week, and she couldn't bear to let him down.

She didn't tell him these things, because there was really no need to say to her lover, "Do you know how much I have paid for you?" It had no meaning other than bringing indescribable pressure to the other person. Moreover, in a relationship,

, if both parties start to weigh how much they have paid and who has paid more, then often it will almost come to an end.

However, she suspected that although Sasuke said nothing, he actually knew these things.

He gradually began to look for opportunities to "stay in school on the weekends" and then sneaked over to her. He didn't ask her for anything too much, nor did he take her out on dates. Most of the time, he just hugged her quietly in the room.

Hold her or play some games or other entertainment activities with her, and often say things like "If you are tired, do you want to take a nap? I will hold you."

Occasionally when she opened her eyes and woke up, she would find herself lying on his lap with a quilt covering her body. While he was reading a book, scrolling through his phone or playing games with one hand, he gently touched her back and forth with one hand.

She turned her head, then said "Huh?", lowered her head and said with a smile: "Sister Daizi, are you awake?"

At this moment, she usually feels extremely comfortable, so she turns over, rubs her face gently against his trouser legs, and makes a low "hmm" sound. She just feels that all the fatigue accumulated in the past week is different from the deep sleep just now and this.

Everything was released in a moment, and the whole person became relaxed and comfortable.

At this time, he usually chooses to lean down and kiss her cheek.

They looked like two cats cuddling together.

He was well healed...

She felt this clearly.

Sometimes it may even feel like you work hard five days a week just to wait for the weekend.

And during this period...

As the number of negotiations between the two clans increased, the chance of her meeting Senju Tobirama was getting higher and higher. But this should not be an accident, because the person in charge of this matter was none other than him. To be honest, she was a little surprised at first.

, but then he thought it was very reasonable, because he had always been "wary" of Uchiha, so if he didn't keep an eye on it personally, he might feel that Senju was at a disadvantage due to "Brother Hashirama's over-tolerance".

Of course, she can understand it.

After all, in all fairness, since she was responsible for this matter, she would never let Uchiha suffer any losses.

And to be honest, since they have settled things well before, now they are indeed considered "old friends with a slightly awkward relationship", so why not meet up?

She thought that the other party should also maintain the same tacit understanding with her.

Because after the quarrelsome meeting, he would occasionally invite her to have a cup of tea or coffee between meetings in front of other people, as if to deliberately show that "Senju and Uchiha are no longer hostile to each other, we are now cooperating partners."

" attitude, so under normal circumstances, she will agree.

After that, he and the other party drank tea together in the company's common room for half an hour, and then continued into the conference room and started tit-for-tat without giving in.

In the eyes of many other people, the two of them were considered to have "quarreled over their feelings of sympathy for each other."

Of course, she didn't hide anything about this matter from her boyfriend, and "reported" it in detail. He also had a very calm attitude towards this, saying straightforwardly——

"I won't interfere with your normal work because of personal affairs. However, work is work and life is life. You can talk or drink tea as much as you want during working hours. You can never make an appointment with him after get off work. Otherwise, I am You’ll be angry.”

She said solemnly: "Hey, Sasuke-sama, you will absolutely obey your orders."

"Be good~" He patted his head.

"..." It's really becoming less and less big.

All in all, she is not dissatisfied with her current life. She is busy and fulfilled. However, life is like running water on a rock, so how can it be possible that it can always be smooth without any bumps?

After today's meeting ends.

As always, Senju Tobirama found an opportunity when there was no one else and asked: "Are you free to have dinner together today?" He had been rejected many times and re-proposed many times. The failure of love in the past brought about

One of the experiences given to him may be -

As a human being, sometimes you really shouldn't be too concerned about face.

And when he really makes up his mind, face is something... well, occasionally, it can indeed be dispensed with, in front of certain people.

"Sorry." Uchiha made a "sorry" gesture, "I also have to work overtime today."

"You seem to be working overtime every day recently." As Qianju Tobirama spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of the person in front of him. He felt that she was deliberately rejecting him, but it seemed that was not necessarily the case. Because she was indeed very busy at this point.

, she didn't lie.

"No way, it's all for work." Uchiha shrugged his shoulders.

"Even so, the body is also very important."

"Only you, who is a 100% workaholic, are not qualified to say this to me."

"..."

Seeing the speechless expression of the person in front of him, Uchiha couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, although I'm very busy on weekdays, I have a good rest on weekends, so it's no problem. But Tobirama, you should also pay attention to your rest.

Ah, I don’t want the person I’m meeting with suddenly changes one day.” The result of her recent long-term contact is that she seems to be more and more natural when facing this person, or in other words, she has gradually found the most suitable distance between them.

This is good.

After all, she never thought of being a mortal enemy with him.

She could already face everything he had brought to her with a calm smile, whether it was laughter or pain.

"I will try my best not to let things end like this." Senju Tobirama smiled and asked, "Are you free to have dinner together that weekend?"

"Well, let's forget it."

"Um?"

"When I rest, I just want to have a good rest. If I see my work partner talking about work, I will be nervous." Uchiha said honestly. Besides, if she meets this person during the weekend, she feels

He will be scratched in the face by a domestic kitten. And if his brothers find out... Hey, why bother asking for trouble?

"...It makes sense." Qianju Tobijian's heart was heavy, and he nodded slightly with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Yeah. Okay, I'm going to work overtime. You should be careful when you go back. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Qianju Tobirama nodded politely, and then stood there, silently watching the petite woman's leaving back, feeling very clearly that she seemed to be doing something for them now.

A real ending was drawn between them, and indeed, he was just treated as an "ordinary partner".

To her, everything was over.

However, after meeting again, having a practical conversation, and learning from the pain, he found that he couldn't get over it even if he didn't want to. The fire of love hidden in his heart had never been extinguished in Hong for a long time, and accompanied her reappearance.

And it burns more and more fiercely.

Her time has already begun to flow.

His time has been stuck in place.

If the two people who say "time is not on the same line" never have the chance to be together, then it will be good to work hard to adjust the timeline. Like many times in the past, as long as he is willing, it can be done.

Since he can pursue her once, then...

Maybe it can be done a second time too.

Although the difficulty this time was almost "hell" level, he would not give up even if there was even a glimmer of possibility.

Of course, her alertness seems to be very strong now, so before that, she cannot reveal anything, nor can any clues be discovered. She must be careful enough to approach.

Thinking of this, the silver-haired man lowered his eyes and packed the things in front of him.

the other side.

Uchiha Shisui, who unknowingly climbed to the deputy position of Uchiha Ochiha, asked curiously: "Obi-san, did you and Mr. Tobirama know each other in the past?"

He observed patiently for a while and felt that the two of them did not seem to have just met.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Uchiha said as she walked away, "When I was still studying at Konoha University..." She roughly explained the origin of the two, but omitted that part.

Without expressing his love, he finally concluded his speech by saying, "Tobirama taught me a lot, and I am really grateful to him. Of course, even so, I will not show favoritism in the negotiation. I hope he will not think that I am a 'white-eyed wolf'."

"...I see." Uchiha Shisui nodded, carefully observing the calm eyes and expressions of the person in front of him, and gradually swallowed the doubts in his heart. In fact, he was not blamed, because someone did say this when he said this.

It’s worthy of——

Looks natural.

Totally upright.

I really can't see any personal feelings at all.

Especially, except in the workplace, she hardly talks to each other too much, and she does a good job of "separating public and private matters".

Therefore, even Uchiha Shisui had no idea that these two people had dated in the past.

...At this point, I don’t know who to sympathize with anymore.

And at dinner not long after...

Uchiha Itachi took the initiative and said: "Sister Oiko, do you still remember our agreement?"

Um?

Wearing an apron and sitting at the table to eat, Uchiha Shisui looked like a good wife no matter how she looked. Her ears immediately pricked up: What kind of agreement is this? Come on, tell me.
To be continued...
