My heart sank little by little.

Normally, if Sakumo came to her, she would be happy to have one more meal, but now...which girl wants her sweetheart to see her swollen and deformed face?

"Wan Ying, is he gone?" Jing Liuli asked in a low voice while huddled in the quilt.

"..." No one answered her.

"Wan Ying, is he gone?"

"No, I'm still here."

There was a hint of suppressed smile in this voice, and Joruri could imagine Sakumo's appearance at this time.

He must be looking at the quilt on his body with his deep eyes. He is smiling, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised. When he looks at people, his eyes are very focused. Overly focused eyes will give people the illusion of affection.

"Jing Liuli, come out, aren't you bored in there?"

"It's not boring, it's not boring at all." Jing Liuli shrank herself again.

Sakumo sighed softly and heard him say: "You were much uglier when you fainted than you are now. I have seen you in your ugliest form, so it doesn't matter. Come out. I want to see you." .”

Under the quilt, her ruby-like eyes were wide open. Jing Liuli's heart was beating fast. She turned her head and asked cautiously: "What you said...is true?"

"Well, it's true, so come out."

The quilt covering her head was slowly pulled down, revealing the girl's slightly nervous eyes. The quilt was stuck on the bridge of her nose and refused to go down any further.

"You have to forget..." Jing Liuli looked a little aggrieved, and she added with wandering eyes, "I mean, I'm at my ugliest."

Looking into her eyes, the smile on Sakumo's lips deepened.

"Ah, in my heart, you are a very beautiful girl."

This time, he became braver and did what he wanted to do before.

Gentle and warm hands gently rubbed Joruri's long white hair, and Sakumo said, "Thank you, Joruri."

Jingli looked at him blankly, feeling his tenderness. He looked back at her with a smile, "Thank you for protecting the village with me."

Perhaps the Senju family had a special constitution. After three days, all the remaining poison in Jingliuri's body was cleared away, the swelling on her face subsided, and she became that beautiful girl again.

Once it was confirmed that her life was not in danger, Kagura ignored her and left her alone in the hospital. On the grounds that the food in the hospital was more suitable for patients, she did not even give her a meal to the sick. Naoki watched Not wanting to go any further, I secretly bought a chicken leg for her to eat.

When she was in the hospital, her family didn't pay much attention to her, and now that she's about to be discharged, no one even cares about her.

Jing Liuli looked back at the bed where she had slept for more than ten days, and then at the empty ward. She couldn't help but curse, "It's okay to have more brothers and sisters. Why do you still treat me like an only child?"

Jing Liuli always felt that in the eyes of her parents, she was picked up.

Over the years, the couple has been at odds with each other, but they have followed through on her indulgence.

Husband and wife are true love, children are accidents.

It's their home.

Now Joruri had to doubt the authenticity of these words.

However, one advantage of having no one to pick her up from the hospital was that she could go and say goodbye to Sakumo without anyone interfering.

The ward is on the first floor, and outside the window is the grassland used by patients to walk and bask in the sun. It is already late spring and early summer, and the lawns, trees and flowers are all showing a vibrant scene.

When Joruri went there, there was no one on the hospital bed. She ran to the open window, leaned out and found Sakumo leaning against the wall to bask in the sun.

His slender body was relaxed against the wall. He raised his head. Above his head was a towering tree with sprouting leaves. It looked comfortable and green. Through the gaps between the branches and green leaves, you could also see the blue sky and the sky. White clouds.

The warm sunshine is like a coral fleece blanket, soft and comfortable.

Maybe he felt someone leaning against the window, so Sakumo turned around and saw the playful girl smiling at him.

She waved at him, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a smile crept onto her brows.

"Brother, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital~"

Sakumo smiled, "Congratulations to you then."

"You will get better soon, but..." Jing Liuli pursed her lips, with a shy look on her face, but then she said like a normal person: "I will come to see you every day of."

This time, Sakumo didn't refuse. He laughed. He neither accepted nor refused. This was a very ambiguous attitude.

He once again cast his gaze into the distance. There were many patients walking on the lawn, both ordinary people and ninjas.

Sakumo looked at them and felt very peaceful. He said: "This is the first time I have been hospitalized for such a long time. It is also the first time I have really stopped to feel the people and things around me. It turns out that the sky is so blue and the leaves are so green. , the sun is so warm, people..."

"What's wrong with people?"

Sakumo paused, a blush flew over his cheeks, raised the corners of his mouth, and then shook his head.

"It's nothing. After this brush with death, I gained a lot of insights."

"What is your understanding?" Jing Liuli tilted his head, like he had a hundred thousand whys.

Opening his mouth, what he originally wanted to say was stopped at the right time. He smiled, as if to show off, "Well, I'll tell you this later."

later?

Jing Liuli raised his eyebrows and thought, if a man talks to a woman about the future, if there is a future, it means many possibilities, which are good possibilities.

From now on, what a good word.

She smiled innocently, as brightly as the roses not far away.

Seeing the rose flower, Sakumo thought of how Joruri looked when she confessed to him a few years ago. At that time, she was standing by the wall of his house, gently sniffing a rose flower. The scene was so beautiful.

Looking at her now, the girl who has grown up a lot seems to be more beautiful and charming, as if she has been kissed by the sun, her whole body is shining with brilliance.

This kid...has finally grown up.

Joruri jumped out of the window, with her back pressed against the wall. She slowly moved to Sakumo's side. Due to excessive trauma, Sakumo needed medicine every day. Those ointments seemed to have the sweet and bitter taste of herbs. It seemed like nothing had penetrated into Jing Liuli's nasal cavity.

"That..." Jing Liuli's beautiful eyes stared at the people walking in the distance. Beiqi subconsciously bit her lower lip. Although she was shy, she was very brave.

"Huh?" Sakumo turned to look at her.

"You...do you like me a little bit more now?"

"What, what?"

As if she couldn't stand his stupidity, the girl turned around suddenly. She looked at him angrily and asked again, "Do you like me at all now? If you didn't like me before, then you do now." It didn’t become one, or it could be [-].”

Her ruby-like eyes were sparkling, and she was waiting for his answer with great anticipation.

Being stared at nakedly by her, Sakumo suddenly felt nervous and awkward.

His face was hot, his heartbeat was racing, and even his throat was starting to feel dry. He opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound. He looked a little hasty and embarrassed.

"Tell me, is there any?"

"..."

"Yes or no?" she was curious, "What do you mean you don't speak?"

"I……"

Jing Liuli pouted in displeasure, looking coquettish, and waved her hand, "Forget it, I won't force you to answer."

Sakumo breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly glad to have escaped a difficult question, and then heard Joruri continue to say: "But I have always liked you, even more than before, hehe~"

Her smile was innocent and her tone was sincere. Sakumo looked at her and knew that what she said was true.

This child has never lied. He is the type who is outspoken and can say whatever he wants. He is straightforward and cheerful.

She said she has always liked it, which means she has always liked it.

Sakumo didn't know what Joruri liked about him, but from this moment on, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart. He was afraid that he would do something wrong in the future and taint her love.

This time she confessed her love more skillfully than the last time. She was like a laurel tree. She no longer cared much about her face. Even if one layer was peeled off, a new one would grow out over time.

Joruri said goodbye and walked across the lawn to go home.

The small figure ran nimbly into the distance, with her white twin ponytails swaying behind her. She was like an exquisite snow bunny and disappeared from this place after a while.

Covering his heart with his hand, Sakumo felt the changes in himself.

He didn't know why, but this time, he felt that his psychology had undergone earth-shaking changes.

But what exactly it is, he doesn't know.
