The Cheeks Dyed Red

Agreeing to Xiao Ling’er’s request, Xiao Ling’er was finally satisfied and ran to her room to catch up on sleep like Nangong Rou, but the jumping figure was enough to feel Xiao Ling’er no matter how dull her emotions were. Nan Gongzhe’s biggest wish is to make his family happy with the kind of happiness in his son’s heart.

Standing up from the cushion he was sitting on, Nangong Zhe walked slowly into the kitchen of his home. Zhenbai was holding a small dish in his left hand and a spoon for rice in his right hand, as if he was preparing for the meal. The porridge made by myself is the final taste test. Naturally, Zhenbai could hear the movement of Nangong Zhe coming in, but Zhenbai still didn’t turn his head, and he didn’t know whether he said softly to Nangong Zhe or to the porridge casserole in front of him:

“I didn’t want Sister Rou’er and Xiao Ling’er to know that you went out to participate in such a dangerous plan, but they still couldn’t worry about you. They wanted to see you back home with their own eyes, so they just sat in the living room and never went back. Rest. But Sister Rou’er and Xiao Ling’er are a group of ghosts, and they can see the whole story straight away. They must wait for you to come back with me. Just waited all night, but the two of them Tired enough.”

As he said that, Zhenbai turned around and held the test plate containing a little rice porridge in front of Nangongzhe, and said to Nangongzhe with a faint smile:

“Would you like to try it to see if it suits your taste?”

Looking at the steaming test dish, Nangong Zhe blew it lightly, reached out to take the dish in Zhenbai’s hand, and put it in his mouth. Seeing Nangongzhe’s movements, Zhenbai suddenly laughed softly, tapped Nangongzhe’s forehead with a finger, and said to Nangongzhe with a little affection:

“You… you’re still a cat’s tongue as always…”

After hearing Zhenbai’s words, Nangong Zhe was not ashamed, on the contrary, he said to Zhenbai without shame and pride:

“Isn’t it true that your cooking skills are good, so I, a picky eater, can eat what I like every day?”

Zhenbai looked at Nangong Zhe’s face, and said to Nangong Zhe with a little reminiscence:

“At the beginning, I must never have imagined that I would become the person I am now. At that time, it was the first time I left the cage of the roots, and I was sent to lurk by your side to monitor you. At that time, no common sense really mattered.” don’t understand, evenEven foolishly let you take advantage of a lot. But it was you who seemed so indifferent at the beginning, but slowly made me feel the taste of home, and made me gradually change from a deliberately cultivated tool to a person who sits around the stove every day. People who feel so at ease…”

Zhenbai slowly put the spoon in his hand on the table next to him, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked Nangongzhe’s face, and slowly felt the lines on Nangongzhe’s face with his fingertips. With a little warm touch, Zhenbai instantly felt that his mind was so peaceful.

Even though his hand is stroking this man who has been with him for several years and let him grow up slowly, Zhenbai has no meaningless emotions in his heart, but feels a little heartache for this man. Because although Nangongzhe’s face still looks young and handsome, compared to the first time he saw Nangongzhe, the exhaustion in his eyes that cannot be ignored is so heavy.

“Zhenbai…” Nangongzhe could see the undisguised distress in Zhenbai’s eyes.

“Needless to say, at that time I also left Konoha for various reasons, and accepted the seemingly absurd and strange task of traveling around the ninja world with you. In fact, I was just like a wounded beast at that time. The same, eagerly wishing that I could stay away from where I used to live and avoid people I knew.”

“But it was because I met you at that time that I mustered up the courage to face all the things I should have faced. If it weren’t for you, I would have died in that jungle. You took me I found A Weng and gave me a chance to continue living. Therefore, there is no so-called debt between you and me. From the moment you saved my life, you have been my family. For my family, no matter what it is, I can face it.”

The eyes of Nangong Zhe and Zhenbai collided at this moment, and the strong friendship in the eyes could not be ignored at all, but Zhenbai suddenly moved his eyes away. Picking up the spoon placed next to him again, with a little dodge in his eyes, he pointed to the tasting plate in the hand of the guide Gong Zhe with his own spoon and said:

“Is the taste okay? If it’s okay, I’ll give you a bowl first. After eating it, go and have a good rest. After all, there should be a lot of dangerous things I experienced last night.”

Nangong Zhe’s expression was a little dull, but he still said to Zhenbai:

“Oh… ah! It tastes very good. You can sleep well after eating porridge.”

Taking out a wooden bowl from the cupboard, Zhenbai served Nangong Zhe a bowl of porridge, and sprinkled some seaweed shreds and sesame seeds on the porridge to make the porridge look more delicious. Before Nangongzhe could say anything, Zhenbai turned around and walked away. Looking at the back of Zhenbai leaving, Nangong Zhe just wanted to speak but closed his mouth.

After all, there is no rush to inform Zhenbai about things like inviting Zhenbai to go with himself and Xiao Linger to visit the grave of A Weng who had saved him and had a close relationship with the three of them. After all, there are still some things that need to be prepared. My current relationship with Minato is seemingly incompatible. If I took Xiaolinger and Zhenbai to the original village, leaving Nangongrou alone in Konoha Nangongzhe would not be so at ease.

But Zhenbai was called because Zhenbai was there when he rescued himself and was entrusted to take care of Xiao Ling’er. What’s the matter with calling his sister? In order to thank Ah Weng for saving his brother, so that he can continue to live with his brother.

Eh! Not to mention, this reason has some credibility.

Thinking wildly, Nangongzhe took the wooden bowl in his hand and sat on the cushion he was sitting on just now, and slowly started eating. And behind a wall that Nangongzhe couldn’t see, Zhenbai was leaning against the wall, his cheeks were stained with a blush like rouge at some point, listening to Nangongzhe’s praises from time to time while eating porridge The blushing on Zhenbai’s face became more and more conspicuous.
