Chapter 65: Is it time to let go?
Chapter 65: Is it time to let go?
Izuna was startled by Takita's sudden intrusion, and quickly let go of the hand that was holding and rubbing Yan Yi's fluffy little head.
"You! How did you get here!" Izuna exclaimed in disbelief.
However, Takita's attention was now completely focused on Yan Yi, who was lying on the bed looking miserable. The huge, shocking knife wound, even though it looked much better, still made Takita burst into tears instantly.
"Waaaah! Yan Yi, you...how could you have become like this...waaaah..."
With tears streaming down his face, Takita had completely lost his usual liveliness. He lay by Genichi's bedside, holding his hand, looking extremely heartbroken...
Yan Yi's head was spinning from Takita's sudden cries, and she didn't know who should comfort whom...
"Okay, okay, stop crying, I'm fine!"
Yan turned her head to the side and winked at Takita. Her dark, bright eyes seemed to have a magical power, instantly stopping Takita's crying.
"Really...really? But...you must be in a lot of pain..." Takita's voice was still trembling, and he could barely speak.
Izuna was enjoying the precious time she spent with her younger brother, but now this silly boy had suddenly interrupted her and was wailing and howling in Yan Yi's hospital room!
Mad!
Izuna, hands on her hips, pointed at Takita and said, "You're so noisy! Genichi needs rest! He needs quiet time! And what are you doing here? Are you bored?"
"me..."
Takita, speechless after being rebuked by Izuna, simply lowered his head silently, looking somewhat dejected.
"Uh..."
Izuna was truly baffled. Everyone said that this young master Yu Yi was very mischievous and had a terrible temper... How come he became so well-behaved after just a few words to him? Speaking of which... was it the same last time?
Ban watched his three underlings bickering and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
How wonderful. Whether it's Izuna, Yan Yi, or this young master Yu Yi, they are all adorable younger brothers... What I need to protect is this harmony that is tinged with a little noise.
"Bandit...your expression is really awful..."
Yan Yi glanced at Ban by accident, which immediately made him feel a strange sensation.
"Huh? Haha..."
Ban scratched his face and gave an awkward laugh. He hadn't been paying attention to his expression just now, and it seemed a little... oh well, he'd be more careful next time!
After being comforted by Yan Yi, our little tiger-toothed boy, Takita, finally calmed down. He was now lying obediently by Yan Yi's bedside, staring at Yan Yi with his big eyes, not even wanting to blink.
Yan Yi felt a little strange being looked at by him. Although he often gave her that look, Yan Yi quickly tried to find a topic to talk about.
"By the way! What brings you here today? I remember the intelligence exchange day isn't until a few days away..."
Yan thought back to the date; it shouldn't be time yet.
Upon hearing this, Takita blushed slightly, and said shyly, "Because I received news that you were seriously injured and almost died... I rushed here immediately. Like I said, I especially like..."
"Okay, okay! I know you care about me! If you're coming early, then come early to see me. It's a pity I probably can't be with you this time."
Yan Yi shook his head in a panic. He didn't want Takita to confess his feelings to him in front of his brothers. Although Takita kept saying he liked him, he was actually quite sensible.
After being yelled at by my second brother for pinching my cheek last time, he behaved himself in the next few meetings and never tried to touch me again.
However, every time Yan Yi saw his conflicted and distressed little expression, she couldn't bear it... and still offered her hand to him to hold.
And every time, this guy would be especially happy, showing a particularly cute smile, revealing his two little fangs...
Uh... Hold on, hold on!
Yan Yi was startled and quickly banished those photographic memories from her mind. She felt that spending too much time with Takita might actually make her waver!
"I told my father..." Takita paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I'll stay here to take care of you! I'll leave once you've recovered!"
"Huh?" x2
Yan Yi and Quan Nai spoke at the same time, showing that the two brothers were quite in sync.
However, unlike Yan Yi's simple surprise and touching expression, Izuna's face was practically a cat-like sullen expression...
"Wait! You're actually going to stay here?"
Izuna's eyes were filled with disbelief. Putting aside whether his father, the head of the Uchiha clan, would agree... how could the head of the Hagoromo clan, Takita's father, be at ease letting his precious son stay overnight in the Uchiha clan?
What are they really thinking?
"Yes, my father agreed, and of course... your father was happy to accept it too, so..."
Takita explained, but he didn't mention that he had begged and pleaded with his father to give him permission. After all, they were from outside the family, even if they were allied families... it wouldn't be appropriate.
“Okay…” Izuna accepted the fact with a sullen face.
He was still thinking that he finally had a whole day to spend with his younger brother, taking care of Yan Yi who couldn't move around... but this brat in feathered clothes completely ruined his plans! How annoying.
"Hehe~ Yan Yi, I'll sleep here with you tonight!"
Takita seemed to have forgotten his earlier sadness, and now he was wearing his signature cheeky laugh again, looking at Yan Yi with anticipation.
Just as Yan Yi was about to reply with something like "not so good," Izuna interrupted her first.
"Don't even think about it! You're a guest, so just get some rest tonight! I'll keep Yan Yi company, that's enough for me! He's my brother, it's only natural for me to take care of him!"
Izuna nodded as he spoke, his reasons were quite valid!
"Ah... okay then..."
Takita looked somewhat disappointed, but didn't say anything more.
The more he liked someone, the more anxious he became, fearing that Yan Yi or his brothers might dislike him in the slightest... For Yan Yi's sake, he was already trying to correct his willfulness.
"Alright, Izuna, he's the young master of the Hagoromo clan, and our guest. Don't keep bullying him~" Madara advised.
"Since you've said so, but we can't compromise on taking care of Yan Yi at night! During the day... if you want to stay with Yan Yi, then come during the day."
Takita looked nervous, but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Izuna agree to let him come and see Yan Yi during the day.
He didn't care whether it was boring or not, as long as he could stay with Yan Yi, even if it was just watching him silently, he wouldn't be bored!
"Hmm... Now that you know I'm alright, can you let go of my hand now?" Yan Yi moved her fingers slightly and squeezed Takita's palm.
Takita then realized that when he came in, he had been crying by Yan Yi's bedside and had involuntarily held his hand... and he hadn't been able to let go of it until now.
"Ah! I'm sorry..."
Takita thought that Yan Yi was unhappy again, so he quickly let go of her hand, looking like he had done something wrong.
"Don't make that face, you're such an idiot..."
Yan Yi turned her face away to look out the window, but a smile appeared on her lips... It's quite amusing to tease this young master now and then.
