I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

"Bai, look outside!"

Bai heard Haruko calling him in the morning. He walked a few steps to the floor-to-ceiling window and the fluttering white snow came into his sight.

"It turns out that winter is here." Bai pressed his hand on the glass, and when he felt the coldness, he withdrew his hand and rubbed it.

In the morning, Haruko was so excited that she put both her hands on it. Even though it was already red from the cold, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

"When it snows a little harder, we can go out and play in the snow together!"

Bai looked at her against the backdrop of snow, and tenderness could not help but show in his eyes.

He and his snow elves welcomed their first winter together...

Feeling Bai's hand caressing her head, Asaharu looked at him and laughed with him.

But what came faster than the heavy snow was the seasonal cold. Zao Qingzi, who always prided herself on being a cockroach with strong vitality, had a fever.

"Ah!" Haruko quickly tightened the quilt in the morning.

Bai knocked on the door a few times, and after receiving her weak response, he quickened his pace.

"Is Haruko okay?"

Bai placed the hot water and medicine he brought in on the bedside table and touched her forehead with heartache.

Haruko Zaoma's reaction was slower than usual. When he had taken his hand away, Haruko Zaoma slowly looked at him.

"Not so good... I can't see any snow."

Bai laughed in silence, "You're sick and still want to see the snow?"

"After all, it's my first winter with Bai, I'm looking forward to it!" Haruko's slightly nasal voice sounded in the morning.

Bai was stunned. He had always thought that he was the only one who cared about their relationship. He didn't expect that Qingzi also cared about it...

He couldn't help but feel a tinge of joy and sweetness rising in his heart. The corners of his lips curled up and he spoke back to her in a softer voice.

"We'll have many winters, so... don't rush Haruko."

In the morning, Haruko stared blankly into his eyes with mixed emotions. Was it because of a cold? She seemed to not understand Bai's eyes, but also seemed to be able to vaguely understand his eyes.

After hearing the news that Haruko was ill in the morning, everyone came to visit her one after another.

Uzumaki Naruto was the most impatient. He was so anxious that he jumped in from the second-floor window of Zaoma's house and landed directly in Zaoma Haruko's room.

"Naruto...?" Haruko Asahi's eyes widened slightly.

Naruto Uzumaki ran to her bedside anxiously, but when he saw Haruko Hayami, whose face was pale, cheeks were flushed, and who looked sick, he froze in place.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Haruko Asahi asked in confusion.

Being called back by her voice, Uzumaki Naruto's face actually began to turn red, and he lowered his head a little at a loss.

"No...nothing!"

Even though Haruko's illness was such a terrible thing, he actually felt that Haruko, who was lying on the bed and calling him weakly, was extremely touching.

But at least he remembered that he was here to visit a sick patient, so after hesitating for a while, Uzumaki Naruto came up to her and carefully placed his hand on her forehead.

Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Uzumaki Naruto frowned and asked softly: "Haruko, how do you feel?"

Because Uzumaki Naruto was leaning forward, Haruko's unsensitive nose was filled with his unique scent in the morning, which was warm and sunny.

Perhaps because of the fever, her brain was not very clear, and Haruko answered him dazedly in the morning: "Naruto smells so good..."

Her voice was weak and small, but Uzumaki Naruto, who was close to her, could clearly hear what she said. His face turned red instantly, but he was still worried about Haruko's illness in the morning. He raised his hands stiffly, took a few steps back, and then began to hold his face and jump.

Morning Haruko:?

Is Naruto performing a ritual for her?

After calming down, Uzumaki Naruto returned to her side awkwardly, but the heat on his face was still not dissipating.

"Haruko...you smell great too..." Uzumaki Naruto whispered back to her.

Haruko laughed in the morning.

Her little golden retriever is such a good kid!

"Cough cough!"

A deliberately loud voice at the door interrupted their warmth. They turned around and saw that it was Bai with a fake smile on his face who came up with the visitors.

The key point is that the golden retriever didn't feel the death ray shot at it at all, and kept showing off to them that he was the first one to see Haruko in the morning.

Ignoring the brainless Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru brought a basket of fruit and placed it on the bedside table.

"Hey, isn't it said that idiots won't catch colds?" Nara Shikamaru curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but he couldn't hide the concern in his eyes.

"So I'm not stupid!"

In the morning, Haruko actually looked proud of having cleared her name.

Nara Shikamaru laughed helplessly and replied: "It seems that you are seriously ill."

"Haruko is sick and you're still bullying her!"

Yamanaka Ino pushed him away unhappily, and when she looked at Haruko Asagumi, her expression immediately changed to one of worry and concern.

Nara Shikamaru who witnessed her face change: …

"Haruko, would you like some fruit? I'll peel it for you!"

As a girl, Yamanaka Ino had obvious advantages. She not only sat down directly on the edge of the bed, but also touched Haruko's flushed face in the morning.

"Ino... Ino, my hands are so cold." Haruko responded with difficulty in the morning.

Yamanaka Ino quickly retracted her hand and smiled brightly, "Sorry, I just came from outside and almost forgot."

"Let me do it!" Akimichi Choji came forward with an armful of snacks. "When you're sick, it's the most fun to eat snacks. I've specially brought out my treasured snacks to give to you!"

Both Haruko Asahi and Naruto Uzumaki were a little surprised. Naruto Uzumaki even pointed his finger at him, "How could Choji share snacks?! You are definitely a fake Choji!"

Nara Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and explained to him, "He pushed Haruko out before and caused public outrage. This time he came to apologize to Haruko."

"Yes, I was wrong! Please forgive me, Haruko!" Akimichi Choji said with tears in his eyes.

Who knows what kind of life he has been living since then? Everyone looks down on him. Not only other people, but even his teammates can't stand him, and even dogs on the street would spit at him!

Akamaru who was taking a walk passing by: Woof woof woof!

Seeing his funny crying face, Haruko Zaoma was amused, "I forgive you!"

"Yoshi! Did you hear me? You are not allowed to bully me anymore!"

After being released on bail, Choji Akimichi looked at the two teammates who had tortured him with full confidence.

Nara Shikamaru turned his head away and pretended he saw nothing, while Yamanaka Ino snorted, showing her contempt for him.

It was almost evening after sending those funny guys away. Bai touched Haruko's forehead again and felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Haruko had fallen asleep at this time in the morning. Due to a cold, her breathing was heavier than usual, but listening to her regular breathing in the room, Bai felt extremely relieved.

He liked the feeling of having Haruko Zaoma by his side, and liked the feeling of having her all to himself.

Even if it's just a breath, it only belongs to him at this moment, doesn't it?

"Haruko..."

Bai's gentle murmurs echoed in the room along with his implicit love.
