In late spring and early summer, the Nanga River is full of life. The water celery grows lushly on the bank. The willow trees planted one at a distance have already grown dense leaves, and the willow branches sway with the river breeze.

The place they were in was not far from the outdoor school ground used for training. Back then, Joruri always peeked at Sakumo's training here. Thinking about it now, a few years passed in such a hurry.

Today's Joruri is a little different from before, much calmer, which makes Sakumo uncomfortable for a while. He keeps guessing what the girl wants to say to him.

Joruri walked in front, and Sakumo followed quietly. The girl didn't say anything, and Sakumo didn't say anything either. He just stared at the person in front of him with his eyes.

It was just after breakfast time, and there was no one else by the river except the two of them.

The refreshing river breeze blows from the river, blowing the hem of Jing Liuliyue's white skirt. Her hair has long been long, and the ponytails hanging from the sides of her head have grown to her waist. They move left and right with her walking movements. swaying gently.

They have been walking on this embankment for a long time. The trees are getting denser as they go west. There are few people there and few people come there.

Sakumo followed her, gradually becoming more and more confused.

"Um... Joruri Dai..." Sakumo wasn't used to calling her by her name directly, so he simply omitted it, "If you have anything to say to me, just stay here. There should be bugs if you go inside. .”

Girls should be afraid of bugs.

"Yes, really?" Only then did Jing Liuli suddenly realize that he had gone too deep and had reached the depths of the woods.

"So, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

Joruri turned around, and a few steps away, Sakumo stood upright. He seemed to be like this all the time, no matter who he faced, he always had a smile on his face, and was very gentle and good-tempered.

Wan Ying's words echoed in her mind over and over again - "Confession is the right of everyone who is in love. This right does not distinguish between men and women. On the contrary, I feel that everyone who takes the initiative to confess is very courageous and courageous."

Everyone who is in love has the right to confess.

So……

"Brother," Joruri called him. She stared straight into Sakumo's eyes, and then saw his surprise and disbelief gradually emerge when he heard her words.

She heard herself saying to him, "I like you very much. I have for a long, long time."

Sakumo stood there in shock, his smile already obscured by the shade of the trees. At this moment, he looked at Joruri blankly, her words had too much impact on him.

"I like you, brother. I have liked you a long time ago, but at that time I didn't understand, and I didn't know how to make you understand that it wasn't hate." She lowered her head, "Yes, it wasn't hate, it's always been the case. "

She doesn't hate him, she says she likes him?

After being surprised for a long time, Sakumo gradually regained his thoughts. Being confessed by Joruri did give him a big shock. However, as a ninja, he had the basic qualities to adjust his state as quickly as possible.

"So, brother, do you... like me?" Jing Liuli asked cautiously. She had never been so worried. She was worried that she would hear an answer she didn't want to hear. However, when she asked this question, it was already doomed. You will get an answer, and it is probably an answer you don't want.

Sakumo raised the corners of his mouth again and returned to his usual appearance, friendly and gentle.

He nodded, "Ah, I like it."

Joruri suddenly raised her head. This answer was something she had not expected. Those big beautiful eyes were full of incredible surprises, but then Sakumo's words were like a hammer raised high, and the gem was thrown away. It was broken all over the ground.

"But Jing Liuli, this kind of love is not the love between an adult man and a woman. I... don't like you that way."

Suddenly feeling uncomfortable holding back, Jing Liuli found that she had forgotten to breathe for a short while.

She stared at Sakumo blankly, and she could clearly see a little distress in his eyes.

She is no different from Nanako, the daughter of the fruit and vegetable store owner, and no different from Hisoka and Uchiha Haruun. In Sakumo's eyes, she is just one of the many girls in Konoha who likes him, and perhaps the youngest and most unlikely. That one.

It turns out that being rejected in person is really embarrassing. No wonder Nanako would cry. No wonder many people start their confession by writing love letters. Shouldn’t I also confess by writing a letter? Even if she is rejected, at least I won't be as uncomfortable and embarrassed as I am now.

Joruri was at a loss as she twisted the hem of her blouse with her hands. It could be seen that the confession was something she mustered up the courage to do, and her own rejection really hit her.

For such a bright and flamboyant girl, as beautiful as a rose, Sakumo felt quite distressed because she was so nervous. He wanted to touch the top of her head to comfort her, but he couldn't do that.

"Joruri..."

She was too young for him to respond to.

Jing Liuli finally raised her face. She didn't cry, she even laughed. Her smile was as beautiful as a quietly blooming flower.

"Actually, I knew I would be rejected. I have heard many words about you rejecting others over the years, Nanako, Ryoka, and Uchiha Qingun."

She heard what she said that day, and it turned out that she was not far away.

Sakumo was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

"You won't like me for being... good for nothing, right?" Jing Liuli laughed at herself, "But, I still want you to know that when you think about it, you might marry another woman soon. , I feel so sad, I should let you know my feelings, let you know that I don't hate you, but I like you very much."

Sakumo listened quietly.

"Perhaps I have liked you since you saved me. At that time, I didn't understand anything and just liked you. Later, when I grew up and understood, I thought..."

She stared into Sakumo's eyes, her eyes extremely determined, "I want to take you as my own, it's very selfish."

"..."

"Wan Ying said that everyone has the right to confess, so I also have the right. So, before there is another woman standing by your side, I want to tell you what is in my heart, so that you will remember that there is me when you choose. , if I don’t say it out of concern for face, I’m afraid I will regret it one day.”

"Joruri..." Sakumo didn't know what to say except calling her name over and over again.

As long as it's not what Joruri wants to hear, no matter what you say, no matter how much you say, it's meaningless.

In terms of endurance, Joruri, who is a chuunin, is much stronger than Nanako, the daughter of an ordinary family. At least she didn't cry. Not only didn't she cry, she even kept smiling.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me now. I will grow up and maybe become a very good female ninja. I know you value the village most and you want to protect the village. One day I will become enough. Excellent, I can stand next to you and protect the village with you."

If the confession just now shocked Sakumo, then these words directly shocked his heart. Not only did she want to be his partner in life, she also wanted to stand by his side and be his comrade-in-arms, protecting him with him for the best. The village of love.

Joruri, she... she was the only one among so many people who understood his true desire.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me. From today on, I will always like you until you don't need my love anymore. It's my right to like you, and you have no right to take it away."

Do you like her until you don't need her love? When will that happen? It will be the time when another woman really lives in your heart.

Taking a long breath and looking at Joruri's smiling face, Sakumo found that he couldn't say anything.

He took a bold step forward, raised his arm, and gently placed his big hand on the top of Jing Liuli's head. He rubbed it gently, kneading all his apologies into this gentle movement, and his voice There is helplessness in it.

"You..." He sighed, "What should I do with you..."
