[Zuo Ming] Bone Eater

"So, I came to see you."

Putting the fruit basket on the tatami, Naruto gave a big smile.The white-eyed boy in front of him was wearing a gray home kimono and sitting on a white futon.

But at this time, Ning Ci's right arm was wrapped with a bandage, his cheek was covered with gauze, his left leg was stabbed, and there were still several fractures on his body.I heard that if he hadn't been able to hide quickly at that time, he might have been split into two halves.The assailant's saber technique had no other characteristics, just the word "ruthless", merciless with each knife, as if deliberately trying to kill Ning Ci.

"I didn't expect you to be okay, so I was relieved. I heard that someone died at that time, and I was afraid that your kid would also..."

At this point, Naruto realized that what he said was unlucky. Naruto hurriedly waved his hand in front of his mouth, and said embarrassingly: "Oh, really, I'm talking nonsense. It's fine, it's fine."

These words were thoughtful, and the white-eyed boy felt at ease when he heard them.He looked into the fruit basket Naruto sent, but saw that although the types of fruit in it were relatively common, they were actually the very expensive ones.

How do you know it's expensive?

Now everyone pays attention to healthy and organic food. I don’t know when Konoha popped up. I opened two or three organic fruit shops, and the prices are four to five times or even seven or eight times that of ordinary ones.But all the fruits sold in this kind of store have a green label on it, indicating the code, and you can check the place of production, and the fruit in the fruit basket sent by Naruto has this mark on it.

When Ning Ci saw it, he sighed in his heart, frowned slightly, and said, "Actually, you don't need to give expensive things to me when you come to see me. I also have some at home."

Naruto heard it, scratched his head and said: "It's okay. Recently, I have a lot of money, and I can't eat randomly when I am injured. I always ask for better things."

In fact, the "injury" in Naruto's mouth is indeed one of the reasons why he gave high-end fruits.However, there are other reasons for this, the biggest reason being that he is coming to Hyuga's house today.

The Hyuga family is a well-known family in the country of fire. There is a trouble in the family, and people line up to give gifts. Naturally, Naruto can't bring shabby things to visit.At the same time, the comparison within the big family is even more serious. Whether it is academic performance or the evaluation of outsiders, they are almost laughed at by others, and even affect their status and face in the family. In this environment, Ning Ci has a lot of self-esteem. He doesn't want to show his weakness or inadequacy, so Naruto can't lose his reputation when he gives him things, and it's also out of a delicate caring feeling.

Of course, this kind of emotion is not something Neci can experience, and he doesn't expect his emotional intelligence to think of it.But as long as Ning Ci accepts it, Naruto will be very happy.

But who knows, after hearing Naruto's reasoning, Neji did not accept it.He knew Naruto's living habits, and knew that he lived frugally.Thinking about his financial difficulties during that time, he probably didn't get better so quickly, so he pushed the fruit basket back to him and said:

"Take it back, Naruto. This is too expensive for you. I don't want it."

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I've really become a lot richer recently." Naruto said with a relaxed smile.

"Naruto, there's really no need."

"Oh, just take it. Neji."

"I don't like it. I don't like these fruits. Take it back and return it."

Neji replied in a very indifferent tone, and directly stunned Naruto for a moment.

"Ah, you, don't you like it?"

"Yeah, these fruits, especially durian, I have always found them unpalatable and never eat them. I don't want to eat them. You can take them back."

In fact, these words were Neji's excuse to force Naruto to take the fruit basket back.In the past, he had almost no taboos on fruits.

However, it is a pity that Ningci is a man of one word, as long as he speaks seriously, his credibility is very high, and Naruto directly believed it.

As a result, Naruto was embarrassed.

How should I put it, although Neji is for Naruto's good, but the carefully prepared gift is said to be unpalatable, isn't it a bit embarrassing?

In fact, it's just a little bit worse. It's not that Neji has no fate with Naruto, but the way of caring is wrong. Therefore, they can't always reach a tacit understanding, and Naruto can't feel that he likes him.If he knew Naruto, he would know that this expensive fruit basket was a sign of Naruto's pride.If he accepts it, Naruto will feel that he has been respected, and the relationship between them will be easier to develop, but unfortunately...

"I see, then I'll just take it away. Haha. I think you have other delicious food at home." Naruto tried to smile, but felt a little lost in his heart.

"Well, there are a lot of delicious food. You don't need to bring it with you in the future." The corners of Ning Ci's mouth curled up slightly.He thought he had done something to make Naruto feel considerate.However, at this point, Naruto's smile has become very embarrassing.

"Ah, is it..."

Naruto is a straightforward person, it is difficult to understand Neji's plan of jumping thinking, and he suddenly becomes discouraged.

[Sure enough, my things still can't be put on the stage. 】

Naruto's biggest inferiority complex is that he is always not accepted. Even if he gives the same things as others, others' things are easy to be taken away by the other party, but his own is always disgusted like this.

As a result, the atmosphere became awkward.Neji is not talkative, Naruto likes to talk, but now he doesn't know where to start the next topic.Especially the atmosphere of Hyuga's house made Naruto dizzy. Now Hinata's house is full of white cloth strips and hanging requiem bells. From time to time, he can smell some woody scents that are only used on altars, which always makes people very uncomfortable. Comfortable.The only Ning Ci who could speak was so cold.Naruto suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Aren't you a bit of a joke...

Fortunately, Naruto is a cheerful person.Suddenly remembering something, he let go of the unpleasant feelings just now, and excitedly said to Ning Ci:

"By the way, Sasuke is back. You know this, right?"

Neji was still waiting for Naruto to speak, when he heard this name suddenly, his smile gradually subsided.

Seeing Naruto sitting cross-legged in front of him, with his hands on his head, smiling happily, Neji felt uncomfortable.

You have to know how long Neji waited until Sasuke left the village, but before he could do anything, the chance that came so hard to come disappeared immediately.

He remained silent, and his face became indifferent again.

Seeing Naruto, he fell into embarrassment again.

He had seen Neji go all out to save Sasuke before, and thought that Sasuke's return was expected by everyone, and he should be relieved, but for some reason, Neji's expression was solemn, and Naruto sat still more uncomfortable for a long time.

"Ningji, um, are you tired?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Oh, no. I'm fine."

But the tone didn't sound good at all.

However, fortunately, Neji was a little self-conscious and realized that the atmosphere was too stiff, so he wanted to say something as if trying to ease the atmosphere.

Although he especially didn't want to talk about Sasuke, but when he opened his mouth——

"Speaking of Sasuke... I thank him for helping me that day, otherwise I might have lost my life."

It's so typical that you can't speak, this kind of rhetoric is bad.Because on the one hand, Neji brought the topic back to Sasuke, and on the other hand, he also indirectly praised his rival, which can be said to be a topic of complete failure.It's a pity that Ning Ci has never been good at words and expressions, and he no longer knows how to reverse it.

And the situation developed as Neji did not expect. When Sasuke was mentioned, Naruto was very excited:

"That kid, haha, yes. He's pretty good at it. I thought he wouldn't save you, but I didn't expect, haha, this idiot is quite affectionate. But, recently, he treats everyone like you With that attitude, I really don't know what to say about him, haha. But..."

Seeing that Naruto was happy when he mentioned Sasuke, Neji started to talk non-stop. Neji felt a headache, but it was not good to interrupt, so he lowered his head and listened to him in silence.

Fortunately, Naruto was still very careful.Seeing that Ning Ci was absent-minded, he stopped talking.

[...Why does it feel like Neji doesn't like this topic?Could it be that he actually doesn’t want to see me...]

Indeed, he didn't want the fruit basket as a gift, and he said bluntly that he didn't like it.Let him take it back and get his money back.He didn't respond to Tan Sasuke, he just showed a sleepy look after talking too much, how can he not be interested in himself today.

Thinking of this, Naruto was quite helpless.

He lowered his head, feeling his mouth dry.

He began to blame himself.

How should I put it, I really am a guy who can't manipulate the scene.If the other party is a person who only likes to listen but not to talk, it will be even worse, and I will not understand their thoughts at all. For example, Sasuke is the same.But is there any way, he has such a Ma Daha character, no matter how careful he is, it still doesn't work.

Thinking of this, Naruto felt a little sad.He thought of his warm Razuosuke's hand but he dodged it, and he ignored his own affairs, and he was extremely depressed.

Ah, they are mind blowing.

But fortunately, Naruto's optimism was beyond imagination, he thought about it, and changed the subject altogether.

Then he hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, Ning Ci, do you still remember the last time we made an appointment to go to the Loi Krathong Festival?"

Rearranging his mood, forgetting those trivial displeasure just now, Naruto asked with a smile.And this topic was chosen correctly, it successfully attracted Neji's attention.He hurriedly looked up at Naruto, his white eyes filled with anticipation.

It's too unsmooth, and it can be said that Master Hinata's character is quadrangular.The things you hate are directly ignored, but the things you want are immediately interested.But without realizing it, he just stared at Naruto and said, "And then, Naruto?"
