Soon...

"Big brother, big sister, thank you, goodbye!"

Uchiha Sasuke held an umbrella in one hand and waved it back casually with the other hand; Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing next to him, said goodbye seriously to the little girl holding a big white bear doll behind him with a smile on his face——

"Bye~"

Then, she said in a very good mood: "It's really good."

"What does it feel like to do good deeds?" the young man asked, turning his head.

"Well, doing good things does make people happy." Uchiha Ozi replied, "But I just said 'not bad' because the child can get the gift he likes on his birthday. I really miss it...a lot

Many years ago, I was also a little girl who would be happy to receive a little gift on her birthday."

"Wouldn't it happen now?"

"It's not that...it's just, how should I put it..." Uchiha raised his hand and rubbed his chin, "Unknowingly, the birthday gift I received became both luxurious and expensive. Of course, this is also home.

People's concern and love for me and their recognition of my growth are just that I feel that I am happy because of these gifts. I am probably not as innocent as I was when I was a child, and I have probably completely turned into a 'dirty adult'."

"good."

"...What do you mean?"

"Very self-aware."

Uchiha: "..." She really wanted to punch the brat next to her.

"We've arrived at the chocolate shop, want to buy some discounted items?"

"Go!" There is no way to relieve worries except sweets!

After a period of time, Uchiha Obi, who had "swept away the store in anger", happily walked out of the store carrying a whole paper bag of sweets. Then he saw the boy who said he was going to buy something else carrying an umbrella.

Holding a plastic bag, he stood under the streetlight not far from the door.

It has to be said that his tall and straight figure is indeed quite eye-catching, so much so that the women passing by the couple will subconsciously take a look and look surprised.

"What did you go shopping for?" Uchiha walked under the umbrella and patted the boy's arm.

Uchiha Sasuke lifted the plastic bag in his hand and showed it to her: "Ketchup, for tomorrow morning."

"...You have made up your mind to rely on me, right?" Uchiha was speechless for a moment, because there were at least five bottles of tomato sauce in the plastic bag, which was not enough for a meal, maybe for a month.

"It's so late and it's still so cold, you have the heart to shut me out of your house?" Assistant Uchiha replied confidently.

"Don't worry, if you stand on the road and say 'homeless, please adopt', many people will be willing to take you home and take good care of you." Who doesn't like beautiful and clean stray cats?

?

"Oh, I'm not such a casual man."

"..." A guy who relies on others casually has no right to say such things!

Just when Uchiha was about to complain like this, she saw the person in front of her put her hand into the pocket of her down jacket, and then said to her: "Reach out."

"……what?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just hold out your hand."

The Uchiha glanced at the person in front of him suspiciously, moved the paper bag to his left hand, and then slowly stretched out his right hand, palm upward, and spread it towards the person in front of him. Then, he saw the latter also took out his hand from the pocket, and tightly

Then, he placed an item in her hand.

"...Ah! It's a cat!!!" Uchiha looked at the black cat pendant in his hand with joy. It was in the shape of a yawning chubby black cat with golden markings on his forehead. "It's super cute.

." She turned over and admired it for a moment, then looked up with a smile and said, "Thank you, Sasuke. Did you buy this for me especially?"

"No." Uchiha Sasuke raised the plastic bag in his hand, "It's a gift from the supermarket after buying five bottles of ketchup."

"..." Although it's a good thing to like to tell the truth, emmm... But, since others have given you cute little gifts, you should accept them with gratitude no matter what, so she smiled again and said, "

Thank you, I like it very much."

"I can tell."

"Um?"

"Many of the furnishings at home are made of cats."

"Well..." Uchiha carefully stuffed the pendant into his coat pocket, "After all, cats are such cute creatures, who wouldn't like them? By the way, what kind of statement is this?"

"Huh?" This time it was Uchiha Sasuke's turn to say this.

"A belated birthday gift? A thank you for last time? A tomato gift? Tonight's rent? Or..."

"You can think whatever you want." Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand, pushed the person next to him to the inside again, and replied in an indifferent tone, "Just choose the option that makes you happy. There is one more thing..."

"What?"

The young man turned his head and glanced at the person, slightly twitching the corners of his mouth: "If you are happy for a cheap pendant worth 39 taels, you probably haven't become a dirty adult yet." After all, from childhood to adulthood, regardless of income,

No matter what kind of gift she gets, she is probably happy because of the thing itself. Although it has something to do with the gift, it actually doesn't have much to do with it.

"..." After Uchiha was silent for a while, he curled his lips, "Didn't you say it was a gift? How do you know how much it costs?"

"...Can't I ask specifically?"

"Okay~"

"Tsk."

"Hey~hey~hey~"

"...I don't want to give it to you anymore, give it back to me."

"Yada!"

The wind and snow are getting stronger.

When the two walked downstairs to the apartment, the road was obviously covered with snow.

Uchiha Sasuke closed his umbrella and shook it against the snow on the roadside. He raised his hand and patted the snowflakes off his shoulders naturally - the gifted umbrella was beautiful enough but not big enough, so he chose to use it as much as possible.

Cover the person next to you as much as possible, since his down jacket is waterproof anyway.

Just at this moment, Uchiha's phone rang.

"Give me what you have in your hand."

"Ah, thank you." She stuffed the paper bag in her hand to the person next to her, then took out the cell phone from her coat pocket, looked down and said, "It's your brother Itachi."

"..." Uchiha Sasuke pursed his lower lip.

"Itachi, good evening."

…

"Yes, Sasuke is here with me now, right next to me. Do you need to let him talk to you?"

…

Uchiha raised his hand and handed the phone to the person beside him: "Itachi wants to talk to you, give me what you have in your hand."

Uchiha Sasuke only handed her the umbrella, still holding two bags in his other hand, and then answered the phone with his free hand: "Brother."

Because the sound insulation effect of the mobile phone is good enough, the Uchiha tape cannot actually hear the specific content of the conversation between the two brothers, but he can get a glimpse of it through Uchiha Sasuke's answers——

"don't want."

"I've made up my mind."

"Don't even think about it."

"Anyway, I won't go back."

"Brother, don't come. It's useless if you come."

…

The Uchiha leader thought for a moment about the distressed look on his reliable junior student's face. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh. Then he stretched out his hand to the person next to him, motioning for him to return the phone to him. Then he heard his junior disciple Itachi's special voice.

Tired voice——

"Sasuke, don't be willful. Do you know that you are causing trouble for Obi-senpai? Just because you are willful for a moment, are you okay with it?"

"I guess," Uchiha replied with some helplessness, "he's pretty passable."

"……senior."

"Okay, no more joking. Anyway, let's let Sasuke stay at my place tonight. The wind and snow are so heavy, we can't let him run around. Itachi, too. Don't think about coming over overnight. Snow and wind.

It's so big suddenly, and road traffic will definitely be affected. Let's wait until everything stabilizes. I know you are worried about Sasuke, but you can't let others worry about you because of it. Right, Itachi."

"but……"

"Or are you worried about leaving Sasuke to me?"

"Of course I don't think so. There is no one more reassuring than Senior Daizi."

"Then just leave him to me with peace of mind, and I will persuade him properly."

"...I'm sorry, senior, for causing you trouble again."
