Chapter 171 Skylight as the Curtain

All the bright light disappeared. On this New Year’s Eve night, Naruto remembered that he had seen the clock on the wall before the power outage, and it was about eleven o’clock.

It is obviously unrealistic to wait for a call. If the heavy snow damages the equipment outside, it will have to wait until tomorrow. It was dark before his eyes, and he suddenly remembered that there was a candle in the drawer.

So I got up and knocked down something with a crash.

“.That.” Ino suddenly became nervous and could hear the slight vibrato in her voice.

“Yeah.” He turned to look in the direction of the sofa and responded subconsciously, “What’s wrong?”

The light in the living room was very dark, and after his eyes got used to the darkness, he could only see a blurry outline. The remaining images before the blackout were still in his mind, so Naruto could easily determine Ino’s location.

He thought that a ninja should not be afraid of the dark, or it might be due to other factors, and he was not used to the blackout for a while.

“It’s okay, I’m just…” Ino said, her voice getting weaker and weaker.

“Are you afraid of the dark?”

“No, the power went out suddenly. I feel a little uncomfortable.”

“That’s good. I’ll get the candles. You sit here and don’t move.” Naruto warned.

“Okay.” Ino really sat there without moving, looking at the darkness that shrouded the living room and became quiet. There was a rustling sound next to my ears, followed by the sound of a cabinet being opened.

After a few minutes, seeing Naruto still rummaging around in the dark, Ino couldn’t help but stand up and ask.

“Can’t you find it?”

“It should be in a few cabinets nearby, but I haven’t found it yet.” Naruto’s slightly distressed voice came, “I’ll wait a little longer.”

“Let me help you find it together. , it’s quite boring to sit here.” Ino said, already walking towards the cabinet in the dark. ”

That’s fine. ” “Naruto responded.

“Is it over here? ”

Ino asked as he squatted down and started to pull out the cabinet, groping inside the cabinet little by little. There was something strange about being in the dark. The weakened vision made the other four senses more sensitive.

“That should be it. “Naruto’s voice rang in her ears.

“Really? Ino’s voice trembled slightly, and she took out her hand again and started groping on the table top above the cabinet. Suddenly she felt another arm.

Then her back hand was held, her body trembled suddenly, and she let out a sigh. voice.

“What’s wrong with you? “Naruto looked nonchalant, as if nothing had happened.

His other hand seemed to be still groping for candles in the dark. Ino could hear the sound of things being shaken, but she also felt the palm of his hand. Familiar body temperature.

An electric current flowed from the palm of the hand to the heart, and a numb feeling poured into the brain. Almost instantly, Ino felt that she could almost lose her balance. Her body was so soft, as if she had drunk alcohol.

When people are nervous, A faint bitter feeling gathered in the throat and tip of the tongue, and she had no energy to speak.

Ino wanted to say no, but her heart was beating hard.

Her eyes were dark, her vision was completely lost, and in her ears she could hear the sound of Naruto rummaging around the counter. After that, they were held like this and he didn’t say anything.

But Ino didn’t dare to move and let his palms be kneaded and played with.

“Did you find it? “Her voice was trembling, and mist appeared in her eyes, so she had to close them.

“No. “Naruto had already touched the candle, and then put it aside, “Maybe I misremembered it, maybe it was placed in the cabinet over the balcony. ”

With that said, he stood up and pulled Ino up. He was already playing with it, but he still pretended that nothing happened and said naturally.

“Let’s go over there and look for it. Maybe we can find it. ”

“.good. “Ino stood up and started to move, letting Naruto lead him forward in the dark environment.

Kyuubi, who was leaning on the sofa, was full of doubts. With its excellent night vision ability, it He glanced at the two people holding hands in the dark, and then at the candle on the counter.

He couldn’t help but start muttering in his heart, the stupidity of human beings was far beyond his imagination.

He thought for a while, whether to put the candle Pick it up? But then I thought about it, wasn’t it really a dog? I gave up the idea decisively. So

Kyuubi leaned on the sofa, cocked the dog, and stared at the two stupid humans with a sneer on his face, ready to watch. Play.

Naruto has led Ino slowly to the small cabinet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony. Ino’s hands are a little cold, and there is a layer of cocoon at the tiger’s mouth.

It is made from the grinding of shuriken and kunai, and the rest of the palm It’s soft. The hands are cold, Naruto thought to himself, so he can only rely on his own heat transfer.

He suddenly realized that Ino hadn’t said a word yet, it was really easy to deceive. In the spirit of taking advantage, don’t take advantage of it. In accordance with the principle, he continued to pretend to look for candles.

He knew best whether there were candles in this place. He just took the opportunity to touch his hands for a while.

After touching for a while, Naruto felt that something was wrong. Ino was too silent. He paused in his heart. After a moment, I secretly said something bad, am I really angry?

“Why don’t you open the curtains? If it snows, the light outside will be brighter than in the living room. “He turned around and asked, his other hand already holding one end of the curtain.

()

Ino finally reacted and gently shook him back, with a hint of begging, and whispered in a trembling voice.

“No, no. ”

But it was already too late. The curtains were opened with a crash, and the light reflected from the snowy night instantly increased the visibility of the entire living room. With this weak light, he saw Ino’s current state.

  

Tears welled up in her eyes, her delicate and fair face was hot and red, her lips were slightly deflated, and she exhaled white breath unconsciously.

Seeing this, Naruto was slightly stunned and covered her forehead with his other hand.

“Are you not sick?”

“Hmm” Ino suddenly closed her eyes tightly.

What a shame! That appearance was seen! I really want to die! She was completely speechless when she thought about it.

The light that hits your face is reflected by the snow and comes from the balcony through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Two people stood together holding hands, one on the left and one on the right.

The skylight acted as a curtain, and the silhouettes of the two people leaned on the sofa and extended infinitely, past Kyuubi who was watching the show. They leaned against each other on the empty white wall, like a couple in love.

The hand covering her forehead did not let go immediately, and the flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment. Snowflakes fell outside the balcony, but they seemed to fall on their shoulders.

Ino slowly opened her eyes and saw the strange emotions overflowing from his blue eyes. It was an emotion that only she could understand, the light in love.

With a heavy gasp, time began to flow again.

Naruto took away the palm that was covering her forehead, coughed and his expression returned to normal. He smiled and said to Ino.

“I seem to see where the candle is.”

“Okay.” Ino suddenly pulled out his hand and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

With the dim light, Naruto walked to the original cabinet with ease, picked up the candle, and lit it with the lighter. A bright yellow candle light lit up, illuminating a corner.

He carefully held the candle at an angle and burned out a little wax, which then dripped onto the table in the living room. After pausing for a second, press the candle on the wax oil.

Ino also sat over, leaning on the sofa closest to the candlelight, and her expression had returned to calm.

Kyuubi did not move away from his nest during the whole process. He glanced at the two of them with contempt, picked up the bottle with his paws, and drank the remaining sips of wine in one gulp.

Stupid humans, it thought.

After Naruto lit the candle, he stood up again and lit another candle. He stood up and carried it into the kitchen, talking as he walked.

“Wait a minute. There should be boiling water in the kitchen. I’ll make you a cup of cocoa.”

“Yeah.” Ino’s mood had not completely calmed down yet, and the aftertaste was still coming one after another, and she couldn’t hear what Naruto said clearly. He just responded.

It wasn’t until Naruto brought two cups of steaming cocoa that she subconsciously said thank you.

“Don’t you like cocoa?” Ino held a cup filled with hot cocoa, her hands gradually getting warmer.

“I don’t like drinking it. It’s sweet and greasy. I’d rather drink water than drink this stuff.” Naruto said, “Usually only girls like you like it, to supplement sugar or something.” ”

Then you still drink it?”

Naruto smiled, sat down opposite her, took a sip of cocoa and said.

“I just want to know the taste of what you like to drink. If I drink your cup directly, you might beat me to death, so I can only settle for the next best thing.” “That’s

too exaggerated! I have that” Ino He paused mid-sentence and then frowned.

This man talks the same thing. If she said he didn’t mind, he would definitely drink the same drink with her openly. If he said he minded, this person might say something weird again.

So Ino stood up silently and moved a little further away from Naruto.

Naruto: “.”

There was a power outage, and the temperature in the living room naturally cooled down. Ino, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, couldn’t help but tremble, and Naruto was also aware of the coldness.

He stood up and said to Ino.

“You go to sleep in my room.”

“Huh? Why?”

“The quilt in the guest room is very thin. There is no heating now because of the power outage. You will catch a cold if you sleep there.” Naruto explained patiently, “The quilt in my room is thicker. So…”

I originally thought that Ino would refuse righteously, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this is the case. After all, he is very self-aware, and he is probably in the top three of the most dangerous things in Inoji’s mind.

He has probably been labeled as the kind of person who can never be trusted, something like that.

Surprisingly, Ino did not refuse, but asked after a moment of silence.

“Then where do you sleep?”

“Huh?” This was a question he had never thought about. Of course, what he thought in his mind was that it would be nice if they could sleep together, but he still couldn’t say this after all.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he frowned and said.

“There is a very thick blanket in the fox dog’s room, so I have to deal with it.”

I will take the time to write an extra chapter tomorrow.
