Wednesday evening.

Uchiha leaned back on the armchair in the office and let out a long sigh of relief.

Uchiha Shisui, who came back from delivering the documents, put a glass of warm water in her hand at the right time and said in a soft tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Oiko-san."

"Ah, thank you..." Uchiha picked up the water and took a sip, "Shisui, you should also take a rest. You have been busy all day."

"Yes." Uchiha Shisui smiled and nodded, then looked at the time and reminded, "Obi-sister, the time is almost up."

"...Ah." Uchiha slapped his forehead with a belt, then stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Shisui, I'll leave the job of cleaning up the mess to you."

"Just leave it to me with peace of mind." Uchiha Shisui said with some worry, "But, Oiko-san, do you really not need me to accompany you?"

"No need." Uchiha smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, the other party can be regarded as an old acquaintance of my parents. As a close elder, he will not make things difficult for me."

That's right, tonight, as scheduled, she went to visit a person who had a close relationship with Uchiha at his home to discuss some matters related to the future. Originally, her eldest brother Uchiha Madara might have come to do this, but the latter said that he was not here

At that time, Daizi, as the younger sister, was responsible for everything here, so she had no shirk of responsibility.

Just when Uchiha was carrying his bag and opening the door to go out, he heard the person behind him say——

"So, Sister Daizi, can you at least tell me when you get home at night? Otherwise, I will be worried."

"..." The Uchiha leader turned his head and looked at his clan brother with a little surprise, because he rarely made similar requests before... Well, maybe it's because they often went home together before? She thought about it and felt happy

Nodding, "Okay, no problem. Then, Shisui, see you tomorrow morning."

"Well, see you tomorrow morning." Uchiha Shisui replied with a smile on his face.

However……

After the back of the office owner completely disappeared, and after the office door was closed, the smile on his face disappeared little by little. He knew very well that this was not an illusion, she was getting farther and farther away from him.

Everything was fine at first...and then, suddenly from one day, it became like this.

Then, recently, he clearly felt a sense of distance from her and "the inner happiness and satisfaction that only people in love can have", so...

Who is it?

Why was it so late this time?

Uchiha Shisui couldn't understand.

The Uchiha eldest son was not aware of his doubts. After visiting her family friends and elders as scheduled, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when she left.

She closed the car door and fastened her seat belt, but did not start the car immediately. Instead, she folded her hands and leaned on the steering wheel, feeling a little tired.

Perhaps the most important thing to do at this time is to go back and rest as soon as possible.

However……

However, she suddenly wanted to see a certain tomato-flavored little black cat. Ah, but before that, she had to take the initiative to "report that he was safe", otherwise, he would be worried~

The Uchiha turned her head sideways and used one hand to find her mobile phone, which had been in silent mode tonight. Unsurprisingly, she found that her little boyfriend had sent her several messages. She flicked the screen with her fingers, and she found that she had sent several messages to her before.

The last message was——

[When I get to the place, I will turn on mute. If you are really in an emergency, please call me. I can know through the vibration of my phone.]

After that, all the messages were from him——

【ok.】

…

[After I finished my meal, I was dragged to a karaoke. Don’t worry, it’s a very clean place near the university. (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)]

…

[It’s too noisy, please come out and quiet down. There is a new ramen shop opposite. They said it tastes like the Land of Winds. Do you want to try it together next time? (Picture)]

…

[It’s past eight o’clock, isn’t it over yet? 】

…

[The karaoke song is over, and they are now on the street near the school. They are actually hungry again... They say they are hungry from singing, which is incomprehensible.]

…

【It's nine o'clock, haven't you gone back yet?】

…

[Remember to tell me as soon as it’s over.]

…

[At the izakaya, because everyone was under the legal drinking age, everyone drank cola or oolong tea. But everyone, including me, seemed to have had the experience of "drinking secretly". (Picture) (Picture)]

…

[Isn’t it over yet? Is it okay? If you don’t send me a message around ten o’clock, I will call you? 】

Uchiha looked at it and couldn't help but laugh, and then quickly replied -

[It’s over. I’m about to drive back. I’ll tell you when I get home. 】

Then, he drove the vehicle very decisively and sped away in the direction of Konoha University.

She hasn't gone back so late, and he hasn't gone back yet, so this is fate. How can we not meet each other?

About thirty minutes later.

She parked her car on a street where parking was allowed near Konoha University. As luck would have it, when she poked her head out of the car window to look around, she happened to see a familiar sign.

She took out her phone and checked it, and was very sure that across the road was the izakaya where her boyfriend was. He should still be in there now, because according to his habit of "liking to report proactively", if he had already paid and left, he would definitely say

A sound.

Hmm...

So what now?

Squatting at the door, waiting for someone, and waiting for him to come out as a surprise; or... send a message or make a phone call to "fish" the person out?

hesitate ing.

At this moment...

Uchiha Oichi noticed with sharp eyes that a familiar slender figure walked out of the izakaya.

"Zuo..." She was about to stick her head out of the car window and call someone across the street, when she saw...

A blond girl with a youthful air hurriedly chased her out of the izakaya. After the two stood there and chatted for a few words, they left side by side.

Uchiha belt: "..."

After hesitating for a moment, she sat back down and pressed up the window. Then she lay on the steering wheel with her hands folded again, and she suddenly fell into a daze.

She didn't misunderstand anything.

She knew clearly that it was probably just an ordinary conversation, and the two of them probably just left the izakaya temporarily to do something together.

There was no way Sasuke could do anything to feel sorry for her.

Therefore, what made her become like this now was definitely not the scene she just saw, but...

At that moment, she clearly felt that she was jealous. Or it couldn't be said to be "jealousy", but a little negative emotion that arose deep in her heart. Although she was suppressed immediately, "it happened"

This matter cannot be faked no matter what.

but……

After much entanglement, she once again chose to seek help from her biological mother. After all, she was one of the few people who knew about this underground relationship, and she had always been supportive and helpful.

The call was quickly answered.

"Taiwan? Your brothers wanted to call you just now. I heard that you have finished visiting. What's the matter? Are you home now?"

After Uchiha was silent for a while, he replied: "Mom, can we talk alone?"

The other end of the phone was also silent for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Oh, we're here already? Then go wash your hair and take a shower. I'll tell your father and brothers. Um, um, goodbye. Your hair must be blow-dried.

, and also, go to bed early.”

Then, the call was hung up.

The Uchiha silently looked down at the mobile phone in his hand, feeling that his mother's lying skills were "perfect" in a sense. Unfortunately, she didn't inherit too much, and there was nothing wrong with lying verbally, but, many times,

She can't hide things on her face. So she often lies with a bit of "self-defeating" mentality——

Anyway, I said this, believe it or not...

After a while...

The phone in my hand vibrated.

Uchiha, who was still lying on the steering wheel, immediately connected it, put it to his ear, and shouted in a soft tone: "Mom..."

"Well, Daizi, what do you want to say to me alone?"

"you say……"
