This mission was still in progress. They had to go to the mission location tomorrow, and now it was time to waste the night.
The hotel was equipped with a hot spring bathhouse. The male and female soups were separated by a bamboo wall. This was the so-called difference between men and women.
Starry Night changed out of his pure white ninja suit in the changing room. At most, he only had a towel wrapped around his body and tidied his silver hair on his shoulders. It was not long enough to be tied up.
He noticed that the source of the gaze was Xiao Ying.
Seeing Starry Night looking back at her with a strange gaze, she giggled in panic. Your skin is really good."
There was no answer. This was the first time she had heard someone say that.
Sakura also changed her clothes. Seeing that Starry Night was still wearing the pendant around his neck, she was puzzled."That, aren't you going to take it off?"」
As she looked in the direction of her finger, the color of the crystal became light and transparent. It was impossible to guess its original color. She held it tightly in her palm and then let go.」
Her eyes were dark like Sakura had never seen before. Worry was more than curiosity.」
Otherwise, there was no way she would have that kind of gaze. Xiao Ying did not know what that meant. Even though Starry Night's expression was still calm, she still felt that something was wrong for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he reached out and took the pendant off his neck. His expression disappeared as if it had never happened.
Xiao Ying didn't understand what she was doing. She had thought that it was very important, but she suddenly took it decisively. Although it was nothing, she felt that it was very strange. Could it be that what she saw at that time was an illusion?
It was quiet and peaceful, and only the low chirping of insects could be heard.
It was a cool summer night. She let her silver-white hair dance in the wind. Because of the thin inner towel, it was slightly cold. She slowly soaked herself in the water. Such a delicate little action seemed especially elegant.
She leaned against the rock beside her, her whole body immersed in the warm hot spring, leaving only the parts above her shoulders above the surface of the water. Her exquisite collarbone was exposed. She exhaled slightly and closed her eyes continuously. It had been a long time since she felt this comfortable and relaxed.
Her cheeks were rosy and moving as the water vapor covered them. Her thin skin was slightly white, but it was not the kind of thin pale, but a beautiful soft white.
Starry Night rarely had the chance to be washed away. In the past, he would be bathed in ice water by the lake. He would not even notice the bone-piercing coldness. He believed that no matter how he washed, he could not wipe away the blood on his hands...
There was a noise coming from the male soup. She opened one eye and glanced at the side before closing it again."So you have this kind of hobby."」
[Ah!!!] Sakura, who had her face pressed against the bamboo wall separating the man and woman, fell back into the hot spring in shock. Water splashed everywhere, and the impact made Starry Night's originally smooth silver hair wet by more than half.
[It's…It's not what you think! I just wanted to see Teacher Kakashi take off his mask.」Halfway through her sentence, she inexplicably threw Hong Tong's face into the water. It seemed that she wanted to see something else?!
Starry Night ignored the conversation just now and reached out to stroke his bangs. They were wet…
Sakura saw that she did not seem to have any intention of continuing to ask. Anyway, Sasuke's plan seemed to have failed, so she could only obediently go down the drain.
Starry Night, who had been talking just now, was resting against a rock. The hazy mist blurred the scene in front of her. The girl's casual posture was as charming as an illusion. There were small drops of water on her silver-white hair. Some dripped down at the right time, and some slid down her collarbone along her face.
His breathing was gentle and calm.
"Starry Night, sometimes…I really think you're beautiful.」At this moment, Xiao Ying felt that she and Starry Night were people from two different worlds.
[... Yes.] She opened her eyes slightly. The fog made her see only a pink figure.
[Ah? I thought you were asleep."
Xiao Ying saw Starry Night looking at her with his eyes slightly closed. Although it was a small action out of habit, it was so tempting! It was hard to imagine that if this was a chaotic situation, it would definitely be chaotic.
[What?] Starry Night was indeed taking a nap just now, so his vision wasn't clear. He could only see a faint outline.
[Ah? It's nothing." Xiao Ying smiled awkwardly.
He thought that she was really fine, but after he closed his eyes, he said,"Can I ask you a question?」
He felt that the other party was strange, but he could not point out where. He opened his eyes and looked around, then closed them, indicating for her to continue.
[Starry Night, what do you think of Sasuke?」
Sakura had always known that although Starry Night was very strong, he was particularly slow when it came to relationships. The reason was unclear, but she heard Kakashi say that it was because she had suffered too much in the past, which made her never think about relationships.
Starry Night was a little confused. At the same time, he realized that when Sakura asked this question, Soupy suddenly became quiet. He might have already gone out.
He rubbed his eyes, and the scene gradually took shape. He did not quite understand what she meant.」
"Well, for example! What's the difference between Sasuke and Naruto to you?」Xiao Ying felt that it was a little difficult to talk.
"..." She moved her body to make her position more comfortable. The hair on her forehead could not dry quickly because of the steam. She thought for a moment and said the truth according to her own judgment,"One is smart and the other is stupid."」
[Pa!]
[Pa!]
This was the sound of Xiao Ying crashing into the water, but the strange thing was, why did it sound like there were two sounds? Starry Night looked up at Soupy. Was it an illusion?
Sakura replied that she didn't notice and continued helplessly,"I'm not referring to that. Hmm…Which one of them is more important to you?」
[Why are you suddenly asking this?] She frowned and felt that something was wrong. Why did she always ask such strange questions?
After being stunned for a while, Sakura didn't know how to answer." I'm just…a little curious…"
Her expression became sad, mixed with disappointment.
[Starry Night.] He suddenly stood up from the water, his eyes and tone extremely serious."Do you like…Sasuke?」
At this moment, their words were still in the air. The sound of water droplets falling into the spring was especially pleasant to hear! Then, there was silence. Xiao Ying waited with a pleading look in her eyes.
Starry Night's eyes had a complicated expression as he stared at the night sky dejectedly, as if he wanted to see through something, but he avoided it because he could not see through it.
A question popped up in his mind,'Like? What was that feeling…
He didn't know who he was asking. He knew that there was no response, but he still wanted to find comfort.
This kind of feeling was too far away from her, and she had never even had the chance to desire it.
It seemed to be a kind of love. Although she had only heard of it, if her consciousness was clear now, she would definitely be able to answer Xiao Ying's question correctly.
It was impossible for them to have such feelings.
That was what Starry Night thought. He also began to suspect what she had done with that guy. It would make Xiao Ying have such thoughts.
Their eyes met. Even she did not understand the expression in her eyes. She opened her mouth but was interrupted by a sudden impact.
[Ah!!!!!] The bamboo wall that separated the male and female soup was suddenly broken through by a water pillar, and a series of screams came from it.
Starry Night's vision was covered by water, and his words were swallowed back into his mouth. He did not expect such an accident to happen. He only felt the back of his head hit the huge rock behind him heavily, and there was a trace of uncomfortable pain.
[Naruto! What are you doing!"
[Ah! Xiao Ying, listen to me first. It was Teacher who broke the wall.」
[Aiya ~ Are you all alright? I'm sorry, I didn't expect that wall to be so fragile..."
She could guess what was going on, but a headache stopped her from thinking. She comforted her head and closed her eyes in pain.
He felt that he had gained weight and opened his eyes in discomfort. However, he was stunned at that moment.
In the misty steam, she saw a familiar silhouette, soft black hair, and the other party's body temperature. She felt her entire body unnaturally freeze on the spot.
[It hurts.] Sasuke opened his eyes in pain and was stunned at the same time as the person under him.
The first thing he touched was her tender skin. It was smoother than he had imagined, making him feel like he couldn't put it down. Her skin was fair, and her body was like a weak girl, but because of her aura and beautiful face, she seemed inviolable.
Their body temperatures rose unconsciously. It was unclear whether the girl's cheeks had turned red because of the hot spring or because of the accident.
Starry Night's eyes were wide open. Her expression at this moment was completely imprinted in Sasuke's eyes. It was the first time he had seen her react like a girl.
The distance between their noses was less than five centimeters, but they did not move.
In their current position, Sasuke was lying on top of Starry Night with only a towel wrapped around him. The atmosphere was definitely unimaginably ambiguous!
His thoughts were interrupted. He could imagine the expressions of the other three. They should be glad that their jaws didn't drop…
Starry Night didn't have much of an impression of what happened next. She only remembered that dizziness gradually took over her mind, and her body gradually sank. A pair of hands pulled her out of the water, and she vaguely heard someone shouting," Hey, what's wrong with you? Wake up…"
The pain in her head had lessened a lot. When she woke up in the starry night, she saw the silver light pouring down from the moon, shining directly on her face. Because of the blinding light, she looked around and found herself lying in the guest room.
Xiao Ying had already fallen asleep. Looking at the clothes under her, she had already changed into a bathrobe, and the necklace was still intact around her neck.
He shifted his gaze to the ceiling and stared at it in a daze, remaining silent for a moment.
[Do you like…Sasuke?] This sentence suddenly appeared in her mind, and she recalled the anxious expression on Sasuke's face when she was unconscious.
He closed his eyes silently and fell into a dreamless slumber once again…
She had no right to like anyone.
In the morning, Starry Night rarely woke up in a bad mood, and there were also few times when she couldn't sleep well. However, she often had the habit of being in a daze after waking up. She had been sleeping without dreams since she was young. The only dream she had was when she was three years old!
Sakura yawned and sat up. She looked at the person who was already awake.」
[Yes.] She replied simply and remembered that her headache was because she had hit a rock yesterday.
"It's good that you're fine. Hurry up and get ready. Teacher Kakashi and the others might already be waiting outside.」Xiao Ying reminded him as he stood up and turned around to change his clothes.
Starry Night looked at her, who was no different from usual, and got up to tidy up.
When they left, Naruto looked like she was suffering from insomnia. Kakashi greeted the two people who came out in high spirits, but he was met with a murderous look from Starry Night. Don't think that she didn't know who caused the headache.
Sasuke walked over and only managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time,"Are you alright?」
Starry Night nodded strangely. He was surprised by Sasuke's question. He recalled what happened last night. It was a little blurry, so he decided to ignore it.
When they arrived at the ranch, Kakashi was the first to announce," Next, everyone took their places and did what they were supposed to do.」
Starry Night's job was to feed the horses. It was simple for her. Seeing that the three of them were up to something, ignoring them was the best choice.
He jumped over the fence and came to a horse. He placed the carrot he had just taken from the rancher in front of the horse as if it was a treasure. It looked stubborn, staring at the carrot but not eating it.
She raised her eyebrows patiently and maintained this action for one minute, five minutes, ten minutes…
She turned around and left. There were many horses, and she did not have time to worry about just one.
The hem of his clothes was pulled. He turned around and saw that it was the horse from before. Starry Night ignored him and continued to walk. However, with every step he took, he was pulled back. The movement continued. In order to ensure that his clothes were intact, he could only compromise.
He gave it a look, and for some reason, it obediently let go of its mouth, but its gaze was still directed at the carrot.
She crossed her arms and looked at him. Finally, she stretched out her hands to see what reaction he would have.
She didn't expect the horse to eat it obediently and bite the carrot in her hand. If it wanted to eat it, why didn't it eat it just now? Why did it have to stare at her?
After that, she went forward and planned to continue doing her own thing, but she saw that the horse had been following behind her. When she walked, it followed. When she stopped, it also stopped. Helplessly, she couldn't control it anyway.
When the horse was about to rest, it used its head to push against Starry Night's shoulder. It looked reluctant. What a strange fellow! He rubbed his head before he was willing to return.
Leaning against the fence, he looked into the sky and picked up the pendant to block the sunlight. It had now become a transparent crystal with a bit of ruddy color. It was clean and beautiful, and the reflected light formed a dazzling radiance.
Time passed just like that. It was Sasuke who called her to gather. He saw that Starry Night had been staring at the sky in a daze. He said,"What's so good about the sky?"
It gave us time to think about many things.
Whether it was in the past or now, they would always see the same sky! The cloud seemed to be still, but it proved the fact that time could not stop. All it could leave us was that short moment.
The two of them looked at the sky together. Sasuke thought that what she said made sense.
[Hey! Teacher Kakashi." Naruto seemed to have no other countermeasures, so he decided to speak directly on the way back.
Kakashi was reading a certain book, revealing one of his eyes.
He continued,"We're curious about what you look like under the mask."」
[What? Do you want to see what I look like under my mask? Since that was the case, why didn't he just make it clear from the beginning?」He finally found out the strange behavior of these three people over the past few days.
"So, are you willing to show us?」Xiao Ying replied.
Kakashi looked up at the sky."I don't care!」
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke looked excitedly at Kakashi's face, their eyes wide open as if they were trying to see something.
[Then.] He pulled at the top of the mask." Under this mask is..."
The three of them gulped nervously, their attention completely focused on one point as they repeated Kakashi's words in their hearts.
Starry Night, who was standing at the side and not participating, covered his ears when he saw this.
[There's another mask!] Kakashi rubbed his head with a silly smile.
[Ah!!!!!!] This time, they seemed to be on the verge of collapse. They fell to the ground one by one.」
