Chapter 286 Warning on the Back of the Neck
Chapter 286 Warning on the Back of the Neck
"You...you think an apology is enough?"
Ino said with some difficulty, her heart inexplicably softening upon hearing the other party's apology.
She couldn't help but blame herself for being too spineless.
The main problem is that she can't really get angry when she's facing Bai Yun Qingye.
Suddenly, she felt a slight itch on her waist.
Looking down, she saw a mischievous hand poking her waist.
"You..."
Ino slapped away Shirokumo Aoba's groping hand, turned around, and wanted to say a few angry words.
But then she suddenly realized that the other person's face was very close to hers.
His clear eyes looked at her, filled with tenderness.
Ino's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The white clouds and green leaves drew a little closer.
Ino woke up with a start and instinctively wanted to back away.
But Baiyun Qingye had already reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Ino looked at the white clouds and green leaves so close to her, and all she could feel was panic.
Bai Yunqingye simply watched her quietly, her red eyes like jewels.
In the end, Ino couldn't resist the allure of a handsome man. A faint blush rose on her cheeks, and she closed her eyes and pouted.
Bai Yunqing smiled slightly, lowered her head, and touched her fair cheek.
Ino was slightly taken aback.
A strange anger welled up inside me.
She wanted a kiss, not a kiss on the cheek.
Before she could even speak, her mouth was covered.
His expression gradually became dazed.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Are you still angry?
Bai Yun Qingye licked her lips and asked.
"What a scumbag!"
Ino didn't dare to look up at him, but she held him tightly around the waist with both hands.
Baiyun Qingye breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
It seems like everything should be fine.
Ino is easy to coax.
Bai Yunqingye sighed inwardly and gently stroked her hair.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, the two lingered for a while longer.
It wasn't until Rino Yamanaka couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Ino that it was almost time for training that Ino hurriedly ran out.
……
"Lord Aoba, what a coincidence."
On the way to Hinata's house, Shirakumo Aoba happened to run into Hinata Natsu.
She was also carrying large bags and small packages, and it looked like she had just come back from grocery shopping.
"Xia, do you need any help?"
Shirokumo Aoba reached out to help Hyuga Shatti with her things, but the other woman dodged him.
"Thank you, Lord Aoba, but it's alright." Hyuga Natsu politely declined with a smile.
"Lord Aoba is going to see Lady Hinata, isn't he?"
"Ah."
Baiyun Qingye nodded.
"Then Lord Aoba should be careful, Lady Hinata is quite terrifying today."
Hinata Natsu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"This……"
Bai Yun Qingye felt inexplicably flustered. "Should I bring some gifts over?"
"No need. For Hinata-sama, Lord Aoba is the best gift."
After a brief moment of rudeness, Hinata Natsumi returned to normal.
"..."
Neither Baiyun nor Qingye knew how to respond to this.
We walked for a while.
"By the way, Lord Aoba..."
Hinata Natsu suddenly spoke up again.
"Ok?"
A faint blush rose on her cheeks. "About what the clan leader said... about coming to see you after the Chunin Exams, but when exactly?"
"Um……"
Bai Yun Qingye then remembered this matter again. After a brief pause, she said, "You can come over when I'm not on a mission. It won't take up too much of your time."
"I understand."
Hinata Natsu nodded, blushing.
The two entered the Hyuga clan's territory.
We haven't even reached the clan chief's residence yet.
boom! boom! boom!
From afar, one could hear a short, forceful sound of hammering on a wooden stake.
"This is……"
Bai Yun Qingye looked surprised.
"Hinata-sama is not in a good mood."
Hinata Natsu gave a helpless look.
At this moment, sawdust flew everywhere in the courtyard.
There were many broken wooden stakes around, and the once well-maintained lawn was now riddled with potholes.
Hinata, dressed in a black training uniform, stood in the middle of the courtyard, her upper face covered with bulging veins.
But deep within those snow-white eyes, a captivating sky-blue light shimmered.
Hinata's movements were incredibly swift.
His arms moved like blurs, pounding against several still-intact wooden stakes with a whooshing sound.
boom! boom! boom!
The wooden stake exploded from the inside, scattering wood chips everywhere.
Before long, the previously intact wooden stakes were smashed one after another and shattered into pieces.
The fluid movements caused Baiyun Qingye to feel a phantom pain.
Hinata probably didn't mistake the wooden stake for him, right?
It was at this time that...
Several fragments of wooden stakes with jagged spikes, after shattering, shot towards Hinata from an unusually obscure angle.
She seemed completely unprepared, her steps faltering, and she accidentally twisted her ankle...
"Hinata!!"
Upon seeing this scene, Shirokumo Aoba, who was standing at the gate of the mansion, changed his expression and rushed towards Hinata.
In the blink of an eye, Hinata was taken away from her original position.
"Hinata, are you alright?"
Shirokumo Aoba looked at Hinata in her arms with concern.
Hinata blushed, but her face was contorted with pain. "Aoba-kun, I think I twisted my ankle."
"You sprained your ankle... Let me take a look."
Shirokumo Aoba's expression turned somewhat strange as she carried Hinata into the house.
Hinata-sama's acting skills still need improvement.
Hinata Natsu couldn't help but mentally complain.
"Well!"
In the living room, Hinata gasped as she felt a sudden touch on the soles of her feet, instinctively trying to pull her foot back.
But Baiyun Qingye, who was prepared, would not let her have her way. She grabbed her ankle and pulled her into her arms.
"Ao...Aoba-kun, what are you going to do?"
Hinata asked somewhat timidly.
"...Let me take a look at your feet."
Baiyun Qingye responded with a smile.
Hinata's face flushed red, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Why are you looking at her feet and touching the soles of her feet...?
As Tsunade's disciple, it would be incredibly embarrassing for Shirakumo Aoba not to have noticed whether Hinata had sprained her ankle or not.
Looking at Hinata's exquisitely perfect little feet.
Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but swallow hard, her fingers already inserted between her tiny, adorable toes.
"Aoba-kun, do you have a particular fondness for girls' feet?"
Hinata suppressed her embarrassment, pursed her lips, and her body trembled slightly.
Her little feet bent shyly, and this reaction only increased Shirakumo Aoba's interest.
"If it's Hinata, I'll love every part of her."
Hinata's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
"Does Aoba-kun often massage Tenten and Ino's feet too?"
"No, I've never helped them with their sculpting before. Hinata was the first."
Baiyun Qingye answered in a very serious manner.
Hinata was referring to Tenten and Ino, not Tsunade and Shizune.
"Really?"
Hinata's eyes lit up slightly. "Then, can you only knead for me from now on?"
"Uh……"
Shirokumo Aoba pretended not to hear and earnestly began massaging Hinata's feet.
Not long after, he suddenly felt a pair of cold little hands on the back of his neck.
"If only Aoba-kun had me in his heart."

Thank you to [筱千雪] for the "Master" certification. I've been quite busy lately and haven't been able to update more, but I'll definitely make up for it when I have time.
