This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Two years have passed, and Mei Terumi has shed her original immaturity and gradually revealed her mature charm.

At the age of sixteen, Mei Terumi already has a hint of her future mature and sexy charm.

For Mei Terumi, the disbandment of the team caused her to feel lost for a long time.

At the same time, after the team disbanded, Ryosuke became the Fourth Mizukage, a powerful figure. Given Mei Terumi's status and position, it would naturally be difficult for her to see Ryosuke often.

From that day on, Mei Terumi's goal became that one day she would be qualified to stand by Ryosuke's side.

And in the girl's heart, an inexplicable feeling has been hidden in her heart, and she can't find a chance to confide in Ryosuke.

After seeing that Ryosuke's attitude had not become unfamiliar, Terumi Mei felt warm in her heart. She suppressed her inner excitement and slowly spoke to Ryosuke.

"Captain Ryosuke, what are you doing..."

Mei Terumi looked at Ryosuke's outfit, seemingly puzzled as to why he was here.

"Ha ha!!"

"It's already time to get off work, the Mizukage needs to rest too."

Ryosuke said this after a light laugh, and the humorous words also made Terumi Mei smile.

The sixteen-year-old girl has begun to show her feminine charm. Terumi Mei, who already has a cool and elegant aura, smiles casually, just like a hundred flowers blooming.

But suddenly, Mei Terumi seemed to have thought of something and quietly hid the basic book she had just obtained behind her back.

At the same time, a suspicious blush appeared on her pretty face.

Mei Terumi's little tricks naturally couldn't be hidden from Mizunoe Ryosuke, but when Ryosuke noticed the name of the book, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Of course, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not expose Mei Terumi's little trick.

After all, I don't know why Mei Terumi would read a book that damages Ryosuke's personal image. Maybe it's out of curiosity? Or is it just a woman's gossipy spirit?

But if she is caught reading this kind of book by the person concerned, will Terumi Mei be immediately killed on the spot if she is exposed?

Of course, Mizunoe Ryosuke was also embarrassed.

"By the way, Ming."

"Haven't you been on any missions recently?"

Ryosuke made up an excuse to change the subject and gave an awkward but polite smile.

"No no!"

Mei Terumi quickly waved her hand and explained the reason. Because someone in the team was still injured, Terumi's team was in the recuperation stage.

Then, Terumi Mei took a deep breath, as if mustering up her inner courage, and spoke softly to Ryosuke in front of her.

"Captain Ryosuke"

"that"

“Since it’s already off work”

"If you have nothing else, can we have dinner together?"

Mei Terumi looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke with anticipation, and kept swallowing because she was too nervous.

As the current leader of the Kirigakure Village, the number of people who want to invite the Fourth Mizukage to dinner is enough to line up from the Mizukage's office to the main gate of the Kirigakure Village.

Ryosuke thought about it for a moment and finally agreed to Terumi Mei's request.

"of course can."

After all, he hasn't had a good talk with Mei Terumi in the past two years, and Ryosuke is still quite optimistic about the future "Five-generation Mizukage".

If you keep in touch with them in time, it will be easier to exploit them in the future, right?

The two of them immediately prepared to leave the bookstall.

Since the secret technique "Idlers Retreat" on Ryosuke has not been lifted, the ordinary bookstall owner did not care about Ryosuke's appearance.

In his mind, he had subconsciously imagined a face of "Lu Renjia" for Ryosuke.

Instead, the bookstall owner became anxious when he saw that the "big customer" who had been choosing for a long time was about to leave without a word.

"Hey girl!"

"I've been choosing for so long, I might as well buy one!"

"This book, 'Girls' Secret Guide to Making Men Fall in Love with You After Just One Read!', is definitely for you!"

"I guarantee you'll be able to finish watching it and take down the guy next to you in no time!"

"And this book, 'The Secret of the Mizukage: The Story the Fourth Hokage and the Anbu-chan Must Tell!', I see you've been reading it for quite some time! Buy a copy and read it when you get home!"

The bookstall owner shouted at Mei Terumi as she left.

After hearing this, Mei Terumi's body felt like she had been electrocuted. She trembled slightly on the spot, her face flushed frighteningly.

Not only Mei Terumi, but also Ryosuke Mizunotsuki beside her looked embarrassed.

Ryosuke looked at Mei Terumi with an increasingly strange expression.

How could such a good girl start looking at these things? No wonder she was still unmarried in her thirties in her previous life.

Not to mention Ryosuke's inner complaints.

The next second, Mei Terumi, who was already socially dead on the spot, ignored everything and pulled Mizunoe Ryosuke aside and ran away.

The moment Mei Terumi's little hand touched Ryosuke, a strange feeling surged in Ryosuke's heart.

Ryosuke did not resist, but let Terumi Mei pull him forward.

After 657.

"Hey! Girl!"

"Really, what kind of person is this?"

"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. Why are you running away?"

The bookstall owner said cursingly.

On the other side, Mei Terumi felt the warm touch on her hand, and the bright red color on her little face became brighter and brighter.

But for some reason, Mei Terumi still held Ryosuke's hand tightly, with no intention of letting go.

Finally, the two ran away.

Only then did Mei Terumi let go of Ryosuke's hand feeling a little guilty.

But since everything had been exposed by the bookstall owner, the embarrassed Terumi Mei didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha, the weather is nice today."

At this time, it was Ryosuke who took the initiative to change the subject.

"Yes, that's right!"

"I know a pretty good izakaya! Captain Ryosuke, let's go there!"

Mei Terumi also reacted instantly, and said guiltily with a flushed face.

"Okay, let's get going without further ado!"

Ryosuke covered up his embarrassment with a smile and then responded.

Then the two of them walked side by side towards a street in the Hidden Mist Village.

A passerby looked up at the dark sky above his head and finally shook his head helplessly.

Damn, young people

Chapter 144, I advise you not to mess around

During the meal, the originally awkward atmosphere was resolved by Ryosuke with just a few words. Seeing that Ryosuke never mentioned what happened just now, Terumi Mei gradually felt relieved.

The two of them clinked glasses and talked about what had happened in the past two years.

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but an ambiguous impulse gradually surged in Terumi Mei's heart.

She wanted to tell the man in front of her loudly that she had thought of him in her dreams for countless days and nights in the past two years.

She even thought about the man in front of her all the time, his voice, smile, and every word he said to her.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore, she wanted to bravely speak out her inner thoughts!

"I"

Terumi Mei opened her red lips slightly and looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke on the opposite side with a somewhat dazed look.

"Ok?"

Ryosuke seemed to have noticed something strange and looked at Mei Terumi with an inquiring look.

"Captain Ryosuke, when are you planning to get married?"

But who would have thought that after the words came to his lips, they turned into something else.

Mei Terumi asked Ryosuke with a somewhat ugly smile.

Although this was the case on the surface, Mei Terumi had already begun to constantly condemn herself for her incompetence in her heart.

Having missed this opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll be able to be alone with Ryosuke again!

Terumi Mei burst into tears.

"Marry?"

When asked suddenly by Mei Terumi, Ryosuke also looked thoughtful.

At this moment, a beautiful figure with a charming smile appeared in his mind.

"Sister Lian"

Ryosuke silently recited Mizunoe Ren's name, then answered to Terumi Mei with a chuckle.

"Probably in the next two years."

"The ninja world has been in turmoil for the past two years. I will consider my marriage after this turmoil has passed."

Ryosuke did not hide anything, but told his thoughts directly to Mei Terumi in front of him.

"That's right"

Mei Terumi said with a forced smile.

Obviously, as Ryosuke's former teammate, he also has a certain understanding of Ryosuke's ideal marriage partner.

"Mizunozuki Lotus"

A gentle and beautiful figure suddenly came to Terumi Mei's mind, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Afterwards, the two did not explore this topic too much, but gradually started talking about other things.

Time passes bit by bit.

Ryosuke raised his head and looked at the sky outside, then said to Mei Terumi with a smile.

"Ming, it's getting late. Let's stop here for today."

Seeing that Ryosuke proposed to end it, even though Terumi Mei was still a little reluctant, she could only nod in response.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye in front of the izakaya and went home.

There is no scene in the anime where the hero sends the heroine home.

As a ninja, and a Jonin at that, Mei Terumi can certainly ensure her own safety.

What's more, this is within the Hidden Mist Village. Unless someone is tired of living, no one would cause trouble inside the village. The act of escorting is completely unnecessary.

Looking at Ryosuke's departing back, Terumi Mei felt a little lost.

Then, she suddenly clenched her hands into a fist.

No!

She must not give up!

She still needs deeper practice!

As the night drew to a close, the owner of the bookstall on the main street of Kirigakure Village yawned and began to prepare to close his stall.

It's so late at night, there will be basically no one coming to buy books.
