Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 72 Will he cry under the covers?

"Yan Yi, come in with me! Don't be shy, make yourself at home!"

Before Yan Yi could properly admire the building's exterior, Takita grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.

Once inside the house, Yan Yi realized that Takita really wasn't exaggerating...

From the outside, the house doesn't seem very big, but once you step inside, you'll find that... the rooms are hardly divided, so much so that besides the bathroom and living room, there's only Takita's room...

"Your room is really big..." Yan Yi stood in front of Takita's bed, somewhat impressed...

Just looking at this bed, Yan Yi estimated it to be over two meters wide, and even with such a large bed in place, the room still felt somewhat empty...

On the desk were some books that Takita usually read, ninjutsu scrolls, and some small wooden ornaments. The wooden floor was very clean, and even though it was made of some kind of wood, Yan Yi didn't feel cold walking on it barefoot.

The bed was covered with light blue-gray sheets and blankets, all neatly folded. However, despite its size, there was only one pillow and one blanket on the bed, and not even a single toy. It looked particularly empty.

"How about Yan Yi? He seems pretty good, right?"

Takita secretly observed Genichi's expression, seemingly anticipating something...

Yan Yi was quite surprised. She hadn't expected this seemingly carefree young master to have such a tidy room. The contrast was striking...

“It’s beautiful, big, and very clean,” Yan Yi replied.

Takita immediately perked up and asked, "So, do you like this room?"

Yan Yi was a little confused, but still went along with him and said, "It's...okay, I quite like it..."

The moment Yan Yi finished speaking, Takita looked at her with great delight and said, "That's great! My room is really big! And you like it too! Why don't you live with me?"

"Huh? I..."

Yan Yi wanted to refuse, after all, this guy was already noisy enough during the day, and not letting her have a peaceful rest at night was probably a bit of torture...

However, before Yan Yi could speak, another voice came from outside the room...

"Young Master Takita, please don't be willful! Young Master Yan is a guest! The clan leader specifically instructed us to prepare a room for him!"

The Feathered Clan member shattered Takita's illusions, turning to Yan Yi with an apologetic expression and saying, "Young Master Yan Yi, please don't worry. Young Master Takita meant no harm. We have prepared a room, which should satisfy you."

"Uh... thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble..."

Yan Yi thanked him, then turned to look at Takita, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Looks like it's a shame I can't keep you company tonight~"

Takita's carefully laid plans were shattered. He looked a little angry, and then the next second he walked straight to the door...

Bang!

The door was slammed shut, and after slamming it, Takita angrily shouted outside, "Kuan, mind your own business! Don't bother me!"

Yan Yi was startled by Takita's angry expression.

He couldn't help but think to himself... Sure enough, as soon as he returned to his clan's territory, this guy revealed his true colors. He's just a typical spoiled brat.

However, Yan Yi quickly regretted it, because after Takita slammed the door and got angry, his mood visibly dropped.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly out the window. There seemed to be something special about his eyes... Yan Yi was a little puzzled because the word "bewildered" came to mind.

“Takita…” Yan wanted to comfort him, but didn’t know where to begin.

Takita turned around, looked at Yan Yi apologetically, and said in a slightly moist voice, "I'm sorry, Yan Yi, I couldn't help getting angry again... I disturbed you."

"It doesn't matter..."

After finishing his sentence, Takita lowered his head and murmured, "Actually, I know that A-Kuan often means well for me, but I also know... he's only doing it for the mission. Everyone dislikes me; they're all just putting on a show for me..."

Yan Yi listened silently, racking her brains to figure out what was wrong with this young master's bad temper.

Perhaps it's loneliness? Or perhaps it's too much hypocrisy?

“Dad has always been incredibly kind to me, but he's also put a lot of invisible pressure on me. I am the sole heir of the Hagoromo clan... so my feelings for you are actually not allowed.” As Takita spoke, his emotions seemed to rise.

Feeling tears welling up, Takita quickly turned his head to look out the window, and with his back to Genichi, hastily wiped his face with his sleeve.

"I'm sorry, Yan Yi, I won't talk to you about that anymore! Let me take you to get something good to eat!" When Takita turned his head again, his face was once again covered with that bright smile, and his two tiger teeth were still so conspicuous.

Yan Yi wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided against it... No matter how complicated their family affairs were, it was none of her business, and she had no right to comment.

After summarizing for a long time, Yan Yi still came to that conclusion... He lacked genuine care.

After changing the subject, Yan nodded and slowly extended a hand to Takita...

Takita was only slightly taken aback, then happily grasped Yan Yi's hand.

"Let's go!"

Takita's mood improved again.

Yan Yizhen felt that this kid was both pitiful and funny, but also very innocent and cute.

Whenever he's in a bad mood, as long as I reach out and hold his hand, his mood instantly improves... Hmm, this trick really works.

After dinner, Takita took Genichi around for a stroll.

Although Yan Yi had visited the Feathered Robe Clan's territory many times, Takita always carefully found different fun and delicious things for her, making each visit feel fresh and exciting.

The two spent the afternoon playing together, and Takita was in a particularly good mood throughout. Of course, their entertainment time was almost over after dinner.

Because after nightfall, it's time for individuals to rest. Ninja clans get up very early every day, so after 8 PM, it's all their personal time.

It's time to say goodbye, at least for today.

When Takita dropped Yan Yi off at the door of the place he had arranged for him, the boy was still reluctant to leave.

"Yan Yi..." Her eyes began to show sadness again, and her voice was filled with emotion.

He really hoped, really hoped that Yan Yi could be with him tonight; he didn't want to face the long night alone anymore.

"Alright, we'll see each other again tomorrow! Hmm... I'll train with you tomorrow, okay?" Yan Yi said to Takita in a manner that sounded like she was coaxing a child.

He was indeed a bit tired. He had been traveling all day and then had to play with Takita in the afternoon. He just wanted to wash up and go to sleep.

Takita didn't continue to act willfully; he simply nodded obediently, said goodbye to Gen and left.

Walking alone on his way back to his room, even though they lived very close to each other... Takita felt like they were worlds apart.

Frustration, unease, and even a sense of fear crept into my heart.

Takita ran all the way back to his room, took off his clothes and started taking a shower, and then quickly crawled into bed and covered his head.

He curled up in bed, the large room now feeling cold and lonely, devoid of any warmth.

The night enveloped him...

“Yan Yi…” Takita kept his eyes tightly shut, his body trembling slightly…

He tried to recall Yan Yi's big, dark, bright eyes, his smile and comforting words, and slowly... Takita was no longer so afraid.

He likes her so much, but she is the sole heir of the Feathered Robe Clan... Is there really any good outcome between her and Yan Yi?

Even though I did my best, Yan Yi didn't seem to want to accept it... But it's already good enough. Even if it's just to spend a little more time with him, it would be fine.

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in his mind... Takita couldn't fall asleep. Even though it was only a little past nine, it always took him one or two hours to drift off...

Meanwhile, Yan Yi had just finished showering and was sitting on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened that day. He was a little worried about Takita's condition, wondering if he was hiding under the covers and crying.

Thinking of this, Yan Yi shook his head helplessly. That guy was practically his nemesis; he was supposed to be someone who didn't have to worry about anything...

"I should just go to sleep..."

Yan turned off the light, turned around, wrapped the blanket around herself, and closed her eyes to sleep.

"..."

Tossing and turning for half an hour...

Yan Yi sat up abruptly, rubbing her hair and muttering to herself, "Ugh! I just can't sleep! I don't know if it's because this is an unfamiliar environment... I'm used to sleeping with my brothers!"

Sitting on the bed for a long time, Yan Yi suddenly had an idea pop into her head...

He got up, dressed, left the room, and headed straight for the beautiful house next door.

"Let me make this clear, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it! I'm definitely not worried about that idiot!" Yan told herself as she walked...
