This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Thinking of this, Mei Terumi couldn't help but clench her fists.

Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly into Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes.

Although Ryosuke noticed the change in Terumi Mei's expression, he still did not make any unnecessary movements and just looked at Terumi Mei in front of him quietly.

"Captain Ryosuke"

"Perhaps what I'm going to say next will bother you."

"Even this topic 873 shouldn't be brought up at this time."

"My next words may make you think I'm immature, but even so, I have to say them."

From her trembling voice, it is not difficult to hear that the girl's heart is not calm at the moment.

Despite this, there is still only unyielding determination in Mei Terumi's eyes.

After hearing Ming's words, Ryosuke didn't say anything. He still looked at Ming quietly, as if waiting for her next words.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi no longer hesitated, but spoke out her inner thoughts all at once.

"I don't know when."

"Maybe in the Cat Kingdom, or maybe at some other time."

"From then on, I began to care deeply about a person."

"That person is you—the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Mizunoe Ryosuke."

Mei Terumi said loudly. This was the first time in her life that she called Mizunoe Ryosuke by his name.

As her voice continued to spread, Ming's expression became more and more excited.

On the opposite side of her, after hearing Ming's words, Ryosuke's eyes became even deeper.

"At first, I couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was."

"Is it trust in a partner, admiration from a superior, or liking for the opposite sex?"

"Gradually, I began to understand one thing."

Mei Terumi's body was still shaking, and she lowered her head again as she spoke.

The turmoil of emotions made her breathing extremely rapid, and the violent heartbeat almost pierced her eardrums, the sound as loud as an exciting drumbeat.

But despite this, she still didn't intend to stop.

"I like you."

"I like it so much that it's in my eyes, in my heart, and in my head."

"It can only hold you."

"I know I'm overestimating my own abilities and am like a moth flying into a flame!"

"But, but"

As she spoke, Mei Terumi seemed to be choking up.

As she lowered her head, misty water stains began to spread from the corners of her eyes.

Finally, she poured out the intense emotions that had been suppressed in her heart, and this intense emotion moved Mizunoe Ryosuke.

Even though he guessed what Mei Terumi was thinking, he never imagined that Mei had already fallen so deeply in love with him.

After experiencing the most direct emotional catharsis, Ming seemed to have something stuck in his throat.

The thousands of words in her heart were now all crowded in her chest. If these words appeared one by one, Mei Terumi would definitely be able to express them one by one to Mizunoe Ryosuke in front of her.

But when they appeared together, Ming didn't know where to start.

The girl's dilemma put a lot of pressure on her and she began to get scared.

What if Mizunoe Ryosuke rejected her, or if he just left without saying a word.

So what should she do?

In an instant, fear consumed Terumi Mei's heart. She became increasingly anxious because of her panic, and also felt regretful because of this fear.

But the reality did not bother her for too long.

Just when Mei Terumi was feeling extremely confused and anxious, a warm embrace suddenly enveloped her.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.

"Even in this land of ice and snow, as long as I'm in this embrace, I won't feel cold no matter what."

At this moment, Ming obviously did not have the extra time to deal with the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind.

She looked up in surprise.

Although the misty tears blurred her vision, making her unable to see clearly what was in front of her.

But she still knew clearly that at this moment, a pair of gentle eyes on a smiling face were looking at her.

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

As this gentle voice reached Ming's ears.

As if by magic, Mei Terumi's heart, which had been entangled and panicked, instantly calmed down again.

Before Mei Terumi could speak again, a pair of warm hands touched the corners of Mei's eyes and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's encouragement gave her the courage to continue.

So Ming continued.

"As a Mist Ninja, it's my dream to get the recognition of the Mizukage."

"Perhaps I shouldn't mention this insignificant emotion of mine at this time."

"But Ryosuke-sama, I'm sorry."

"I can feel that the gap between you and me is getting bigger every day, so big that maybe I will never catch up."

"I think if I don't speak up, I might lose the opportunity completely."

"So, whatever you think, I'm going to say it."

Having said that, Mei Terumi paused, stepped forward and hugged Mizunoe Ryosuke's body, and buried her head directly in Ryosuke's chest. It seemed that Mei wanted to do her best to enjoy the warmth from Ryosuke before giving an answer.

Although Mei Terumi's sudden confession was somewhat beyond Ryosuke's expectations, it was also within reason.

Ryosuke looked deeply at Ming in his arms, and his expression became a little complicated.

From the beginning to the end, Mei Terumi was just the cabbage planted in Ryosuke's "private plot".

Mizunoe Ryosuke knew very well that this beautiful lady with mature temperament and gorgeous appearance in the future would never be able to escape from his grasp.

The reason why Mizunoe Ryosuke was so confident in training Mei Terumi to be the next Mizukage is actually closely related to this point.

Since Ming is so eager to join Ryosuke's "Crystal Palace".

Then of course he would choose to fulfill her wish.

As for Ryosuke's inner thoughts, Mei Terumi naturally knew nothing about it.

So at this moment she was still waiting for the judgment of "fate" with a solemn heart.

Chapter 565, Success in Career and Love

Without letting the girl wait too long, Mizunoe Ryosuke slowly reached out and held the girl's cheeks, making her look at him.

"Ning"

Mei Terumi was startled by Ryosuke's sudden action. Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, she looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke with some embarrassment and uneasiness.

Under the gaze of Mei Terumi, Ryosuke slowly bent down, and his handsome face continued to enlarge in Mei's sight.

"Well"

Soon, the strange touch on her lips caused Terumi Mei's pupils to shrink sharply, and a hint of disbelief flashed across her brown eyes.

Mizunoe Ryosuke actually kissed her!!!

After a long time, the two faces slowly separated.

Mizunoe Ryosuke directly chose to respond to Mei Terumi's feelings with actions.

Just like that, the two of them stared at each other, as if everything was said without words.

In a close eye contact, Mizunoe Ryosuke carefully looked at Ming's appearance.

Although it was not the first day they knew each other, it was the first time for him to observe the girl's face so carefully.

Mei Terumi's usual image is to use her long bangs to cover one of her eyes.

No one knew what this kind of dress and makeup meant to her. Only Mizunoe Ryosuke had the chance to see clearly which heterochromatic eye was hidden under the girl's bangs.

After a while, Mizunoe Ryosuke stretched out a hand and slowly lifted the bangs that covered Terumi Mei's left eye.

In an instant, a pair of light golden eyes appeared in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes.

The gold color of the left eye and the dark brown color of the right eye show two completely different charms, which adds a touch of unusual beauty to Terumi Mei's already delicate cheeks.

As her right eye hidden under her bangs was exposed to Ryosuke, Terumi Mei did not stop Ryosuke Mizunoe's actions, but she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Since she was a child, she has been ridiculed and mocked because of her strange-colored eyes.

This is also the main reason why Mei Terumi hides this heterochromatic eye.

At this moment, in Mei Terumi's mind, exposing her heterochromia is undoubtedly equivalent to exposing her own flaws directly in front of Ryosuke.

This directly brought her enormous psychological pressure.

Looking at Mei Terumi's heterochromatic eyes that looked like gemstones, Mizunoe Ryosuke couldn't help but sigh.

"gorgeous"

Just two short words made Terumi Mei's heart burst with unprecedented joy.

In an instant, the breath of mist filled Ming's eyes, and Ming revealed an extremely bright smile.

The next second, Ming fell into Mizunoe Ryosuke's arms, hugged Ryosuke's chest tightly, and felt the warmth of expectation.

Today is simply the happiest day in Meiming's life.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as "a double harvest of career and love, and success in both love and work."

The golden sunset was gradually blocked by the horizon, and the remaining afterglow gradually emitted a dim glow.

The thinly dressed young man and girl set out on their return journey together.

late at night.

Mizunoe Ryosuke sat upright in the room, waiting quietly.

He was very sure that this time his wait would not be in vain.

Because Ryosuke knew that the man would definitely seize this last chance.

Tomorrow morning, Mizunoe Ryosuke will set off to return to the Land of Water.

After tonight, that man will completely lose his last chance.

At the same time, a man with a gloomy face came to the door of Mizunoe Ryosuke's room.

Even though he had experienced many storms, he was still a little hesitant standing in front of this gate.

The man's expression kept changing, looking somewhat gloomy.

After a long time, he sighed, and finally slowly reached out and opened the door in front of him.

Just as he guessed, the door was not locked.

The moment he walked into the room, he saw Mizunoe Ryosuke sitting on a chair, looking at him with a smile.

"huhu"

The man let out a long breath.

Because of the respirator on his cheek, the sigh seemed particularly heavy.

The person who came to Mizunoe Ryosuke's room late at night was none other than the leader of the Rain Ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander.

Apart from Ryosuke, it was clear that he was not in a hurry to leave the Land of Iron.

"You came."
