"Is this your first time eating here, Sister Xiao Nan?"

After so many days, this was the first time Shirakumo Aoba had seen the other person at the restaurant.

"Ah."

Xiao Nan nodded gently, then smiled faintly.

Is there something wrong with me?

She specially changed into new clothes and dressed up before coming to the cafeteria, hoping to bump into him.

All the ninjas from Amegakure have been eliminated, so she has to leave the Forest of Death today.

Although she will stay in Konoha for a while, she doesn't know when they will meet again.

On a whim, I decided to change my clothes so the other person could see them.

Seeing Bai Yunqingye occasionally stealing glances at her made her feel inexplicably happier.

Is there something wrong with this?

Seeing that Baiyun Qingye remained silent, Xiao Nan moved even closer.

"Uh...no."

Baiyun and Qingye shifted their gaze.

A sly glint flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes as she tilted her head slightly.

"Why have you been secretly watching me, Aoba?"

"Uh...it's because..."

Baiyun Qingye paused for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.

"Sister Xiaonan, this dress is so beautiful, it suits you perfectly!"

"Yeah……"

Xiao Nan was overjoyed to receive the answer she wanted.

A layer of red glow spread out.

She stretched out her slender, white fingers and gently pinched Baiyun Qingye's chin.

He turned the other person's head towards himself.

"Since it's so beautiful, why not take a closer look?"

"?"

Bai Yunqingye's eyes widened; he clearly hadn't expected Xiao Nan to have such a bold side.

"Hey~ Aoba, compared to your nice older sisters, who's prettier?"

"..."

This is a potentially disastrous question that Baiyun Qingye really needs to think about.

When Xiao Nan saw that Bai Yun Qingye was silent, she immediately showed an unhappy expression.

The pressure on his fingers unconsciously increased a bit.

"Does this answer put you in such a difficult position?"

In the past, she was always the one being teased; now, she wanted to tease the boy in front of her.

Bai Yunqingye was silent for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the hand that was pinching his chin.

"Sister Xiaonan, I can't say who is prettier between you and Sister Xiyan, because you are all special to me, and you are all my favorites."

Xiao Nan's eyes widened, then she suddenly realized that her hand was still being held by the other person, and she hurriedly pulled it back.

"I...I asked who is prettier, not who you like."

"I see. I thought Sister Xiaonan asked that because she likes me."

Baiyun Qingye lowered her head, looking somewhat hurt.

"Then it seems I was just being presumptuous."

"I……"

Seeing this, Xiao Nan wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

That's hard to explain.

Does this mean she actually likes him?

But does she really like it?

The few days they had spent together had at most made her develop a slight liking for the other person.

It wasn't until that night, when Bai Yun Qingye told her that she could rely on him, that she truly felt a flutter in her heart.

I now know what peace of mind means.

Just like now, I'm willing to make some changes for the other person.

Does she like him?

While she was still exploring her inner self.

A clear, disgruntled female voice rang out.

"Qingye, why didn't you call me? You just came to eat by yourself?"

Chapter 256 won't waste too much time.

With a cool expression, Uzuki Yugao sat down next to Shirokumo Aoba.

Then he began to examine Xiao Nan in front of him.

She remembered that the other person always wore that black robe, so why was she suddenly in the mood to wear a skirt today?

"Good morning, Miss Nan."

"Morning... good morning."

Konan's complicated thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and she also greeted Uzuki Yugao.

Uzuki Yugao nodded, then reached out and pinched Shirokumo Aoba's cheek.

Why didn't you invite me to breakfast alone?

"The teacher needed to talk to me earlier. Didn't I tell you to come and eat first?"

Baiyun Qingye offered a helpless explanation.

"Really? Maybe I was sleeping too soundly and didn't hear you."

Uzuki Yugao didn't retract her hand; she stretched out her other hand as well, kneading and flattening the dough.

Click!

The crisp sound rang out suddenly, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The chopsticks in Xiao Nan's hand broke in two.

With a cold expression, she took out a piece of paper and cleaned up the soup on the table, then casually threw the broken chopsticks into the trash can.

"Sister Xiao Nan, are you alright?"

Bai Yun Qingye looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Nan gently shook her head, then wiped non-existent sweat from the tip of her nose with a tissue, and said with a smile, "The ramen was a bit too spicy, I accidentally got a sore throat and couldn't control my strength."

"I see."

Baiyun Qingye handed her another pair of chopsticks, pointed to the ramen in front of her, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaonan, I haven't touched this bowl yet. If you don't mind, you can try mine."

Xiao Nan: "So what are you going to eat?"

"I……"

"It's okay, Aoba can eat with me."

Uzuki Yugao helped Shirakumo Aoba push the ramen in front of Konan.

"..."

Xiao Nan stared blankly at the ramen in front of her, neither speaking nor making a move.

A moment of silence.

She stood up.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped her rosy, full lips.

"No need, I'm already full. See you next time, Aoba."

After saying that, she walked outside.

For some reason, Xiao Nan suddenly became very irritable.
