There is a milk tea shop in Konoha

What’s the point of a birthday if you don’t eat cake?

An was a bit stubborn on this matter. For Ann, a birthday cake is a must for a birthday. What’s a birthday without cake?

But Sasuke didn't think so. He had celebrated his birthdays alone for so many years, so it made no difference whether he celebrated them or not. and

"I don't eat sweets." Looking at the cake handed over by An, Sasuke looked disgusted. It was rare to see other expressions on his face.

In the end, the cake went into Ann's stomach, and Sasuke was only responsible for blowing out the candles.

"This is the first time I've seen a child who doesn't like sweets." Ann cleared away the dishes on the table and poured Sasuke a cup of tea. "It's not cute at all."

Sasuke: "What's so delicious about something so sweet?"

"Everyone has their own favorite things to eat," An lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "just like you like to eat tomato and wooden fish rice balls."

Sasuke, who still seemed unable to understand, chose to give up and continue the topic with An.

Very few customers visit the milk tea shop during dinner time. This is a rare leisure time for An, and it is also her most difficult moment.

Because eating dinner alone is very difficult for Ann. For her, dinner should be eaten with her family, not alone in front of the empty table opposite, chewing the solitude in silence.

"I have a question," Ann said.

"what?"

"Why did you come back to my store and ask if there were wooden fish rice balls?" An said with some confusion, "My place is not related to wooden fish rice balls."

"But you can make other meals here," Sasuke said. "When I went to buy bonito rice balls, I smelled the aroma of food wafting from your store."

install:""

"So, that's why you came in and asked me if I had any wooden fish rice balls?"

"Ah."

"Then if I didn't stop you in the end, wouldn't you be hungry?"

"I still have tomatoes in the refrigerator."

"Okay." An got the answer she wanted and didn't ask any more questions. Too many questions can actually make others feel awkward, especially if the other person is a quiet person.

"Remember to get the gift. There will be too many people later, so I won't be able to give it to you." An stood up and prepared to do other things.

In the evening, many people went out for a walk after dinner, and another wave of guests would come.

Sasuke didn't stay long, after all, he didn't like crowded situations.

Picking up the paper bag placed aside, Sasuke stood up and walked towards the door.

"Sasuke." Ann called him.

He turned around and saw An standing next to the counter, still looking at him with smiles in her eyes as before.

"Happy birthday" he heard Ann say to him.

He didn't know what was going on, maybe the light was too dazzling and made him dizzy. In a daze, Sasuke overlapped the Anan in front of him with a certain figure in his memory. He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, someone looked at him with the same eyes and said the same words to him.

When your life starts to become routine, time will become extremely fast. When you come back to your senses, you will be surprised to realize that so much time has passed.

Unknowingly, it has been 60 years in Konoha. For An, it seems like it was just a few days ago that she celebrated Sasuke's birthday for the first time.

It always feels like time flies by so fast, no wonder everyone says we should cherish time.

Nothing earth-shattering happened to her in the past two years, she was as calm as ever.

If I had to find something worth mentioning in her life, it would be that there was a new waiter in a milk tea shop. In order to save money before upgrading a house, she had to do everything on her own shoulders. After she had some spare money, she immediately hired someone to share the work. It’s nice to be free from the chores of making pearls, making milk tea, and clearing the table.

"It's time for the Ninja School students to graduate again." One day while drinking tea with Anko, this topic suddenly came up.

"Yes, by the way," Anko said nonchalantly, "That Uchiha Sasuke who often comes to your restaurant for dinner also graduated this year, right?"

Hearing Sasuke's name, An smiled and said, "Yes, he told me that if nothing else happens, he should be the number one in their class."

"The first place is good, but whether he can become a Genin depends on whether he can pass the test of leading a Jonin." Anko picked up a bunch of meatballs and put it in his mouth. "If his leading Jonin is not good, I guess Cassie is dead."

Hearing this, An smiled and said nothing.

What Anko didn't know was that Sasuke's leading jounin was Kakashi Hatake. Moreover, he and his two friends, Naruto and Sakura, passed Kakashi's test.

Of course, it would be nice if she knew this.

Since the topic of graduation from Ninja School is mentioned, the plot is not far away from the beginning. As a passerby living in Konoha, she still looks forward to the protagonists shining their own dazzling light.

As an ordinary person, An's daily fighting and killing life was different from that of the ninjas.

Her daily life can be said to be very monotonous, going from home to the milk tea shop, and then back home from the milk tea shop. Therefore, she is often unaware of many things related to the plot.

If Anko didn't mention it, she really forgot that Sasuke and the others were about to graduate.

What should I give as a graduation gift?

An struggled in her mind for a long time and couldn't think of a graduation gift for Sasuke, but finally decided to make him something delicious to comfort him.

What's going on with this feeling of raising a child?

Kakashi walked into a milk tea shop and saw Ann sitting in front of the cashier counter with a sad face, as if she was worried about something.

When An saw a guest coming, he quickly raised his head and smiled: "Welcome." Seeing clearly that the visitor was Kakashi, he added, "Still the same as before? Kakashi."

"Ah, yes, please." Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said to Ann.

"Okay, please wait a moment." After saying that, she started to pack the meatballs.

Kakashi often comes to the store to buy meatballs, and he is an acquaintance of An. The most common thing he buys is meatballs, but sometimes he also packs a few bowls of red bean soup. According to Kakashi, his ninja dogs love to drink An's soup. red bean soup.

Kakashi stood in front of the counter, holding a kissing paradise in his hand, looking like he was addicted to a sea of ​​books, just like those people in An's memory who were waiting in line for food while playing with their phones with their heads down.

"Okay." An handed the packed meatballs to him.

"Thank you." Kakashi took the bag and thanked Ann.

"An, that" Just when An was about to do other things, Kakashi stopped her.

"Do you know Sasuke Uchiha?"
