"You... are pretty bored." Shikamaru's mouth twitched.
To watch them run around Konoha seventeen times, and even count it, it's easy to see Shino is really bored.
"Oh, I'm looking for a rare bug." Shino put his hands in his pockets, looking at the two of them. "By the way, Naruto was actually tricked by Jiraiya-sama. Jiraiya-sama paid the price of lying in the hospital for three months. At the same time, the Hokage personally treated Jiraiya-sama, reducing Jiraiya-sama's time in the hospital to six months."
"That's reducing?" Temari was full of question marks.
"Did I say reduce?" Shino's brows under his glasses furrowed slightly. "Sorry, I haven't slept for three days and three nights, and I'm a little out of it now."
After speaking, he looked at the two of them with a serious face: "Can you please fight somewhere else? It's okay if you occasionally pass by here in a circle, but if you stay here all the time, the bug I'm looking for might not come out."
"Oh, and one more thing, Shikamaru, I think Temari is jealous... or it's because she likes you but doesn't know how to say it, so she can only choose her own way to express it, but your lack of understanding makes her angry." Shino turned and walked back into the grass, only revealing his eyes looking at Shikamaru. "I've told you the answer, can you please leave?"
Shikamaru: "..."
Temari: "..."
Let's not talk about my problem... No, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said. What do you mean she likes me? I don't understand her feelings? She's angry? Shikamaru knows every word, but why does it feel so strange when they're put together?
Under Shino's gaze, the two of them subconsciously looked at each other, then turned their heads away at the same time, blushing.
The next second, Shikamaru, who was blushing, suddenly felt something was wrong.
It's one thing for me to blush, after all, being said like that by Shino, but why are you blushing?
Could it be... that what Shino said is true?
Shikamaru fell into thought.
"You..." Shino pushed his glasses up. His eyes, having been awake for three days and three nights, gave off a cold vibe even through the lenses. "Can you please leave?"
Shikamaru's eye twitched: "Sorry, Shino, we'll leave right away."
Taking a deep breath, Shikamaru looked at Temari again, her slightly red cheeks and eyes that didn't dare to meet his eyes seemed to suddenly reveal a strange shyness.
Something's wrong, I actually saw shyness on this crazy woman's face.
"Anyway, I'll take you back first." Shikamaru coughed and helped Temari stand up straight, then turned around and crouched down. "Get on my back, I'll carry you back."
Temari had completely lost her ability to move, because she had rushed to Konoha and then ran around Konoha seventeen times, using up all her Chakra in the process, and she couldn't recover her energy in a short time.
She looked at Shikamaru's back, then looked at the back of Shikamaru's head, bit her lip lightly, got up slightly and leaned on Shikamaru's back.
She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.
Only Shikamaru suddenly felt that this crazy woman was very light, and Temari suddenly saw the pineapple head's slightly red ears.
This guy is shy...
As Shikamaru stood up, Temari subconsciously reached out and hugged his neck, pressing her face tightly against Shikamaru's neck.
Shikamaru: "..."
His body stiffened, Shikamaru coughed lightly: "Don't lean on my neck, it's ticklish..."
"Hmm~" Temari's face turned even redder. She didn't respond, but gently turned her head and changed her posture.
Shikamaru took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart, and looked at Shino: "We're leaving, Shino. You should go back and rest early too."
"Once I catch that bug, I'll go rest." Shino pushed his glasses up again. "If you want to know why, it's because that bug's ability is very special, and it has a unique advantage against illusion ninjas... I'm leaving."
Looking at Shikamaru's back, Shino didn't feel lost. If you want to know why...
He's used to it.
It was already dawn, and the moonlight wasn't as bright as lamplight. Walking down the street, you could see the two people's shadows overlapping, getting closer and closer, then getting further apart.
Temari bit her lip lightly, her eyes shifting from the shadow to Shikamaru's face.
From the side... this guy is actually pretty handsome.
It's just that his personality is too annoying.
Temari snorted softly in her heart.
A cold wind blew past, and Temari subconsciously tightened her arms, hugging Shikamaru tightly.
"Don't move around." Shikamaru's voice came, his tone with helplessness. "I also ran around Konoha seventeen times. If you don't want us both to fall to the ground, you'd better be honest."
As he spoke, he shifted Temari on his back, telling her to move up a bit more.
But with this slight shift, Shikamaru's back felt an unspeakable softness, and Shikamaru's face froze again.
He didn't do it on purpose.
The sudden collision on her chest made Temari's face turn red, and she yelled subconsciously: "Pineapple head! What are you trying to do!"
"W-wait a minute!" Shikamaru thought Temari was going to hit him again, so he instinctively grabbed her tighter. "I just wanted to lift you up a bit. I don't have much energy either, it'll be harder if you're too low!"
Temari's face was getting redder and redder, but her voice unconsciously became smaller, "Your hand..."
Shikamaru: "..."
He instinctively grabbed her tighter, forgetting that his hand was still on this woman's thigh.
Well... no comment on the feeling.
"Cough, an accident. It's your fault for scaring me." Shikamaru looked up and took a long breath. "Anyway, I didn't do it on purpose... it was the same when we were doing the mission, who knew you'd be taking a bath in that kind of place."
"Humph." Temari got angry when she heard this. "I remember I told you that I was going to take a bath there, but you rushed in without caring about anything, and you still say you didn't do it on purpose."
"There were enemies..." Shikamaru sighed. "And you said you were going to 'wash up a bit.' I thought when you said wash up, you meant a simple wipe with a towel, who knew you'd... get completely naked."
Shikamaru was also helpless.
Temari said with a red face: "Anyway, it's all your fault."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, I can't be bothered arguing with you. Blame me, just blame me."
Temari snorted softly and leaned on Shikamaru's back again: "Why are you admitting it so quickly now?"
"Because the time is up, you can't keep trying to kill me." Shikamaru replied as a matter of course.
"Heh." Temari sneered, but didn't say anything else.
Shikamaru... couldn't tell what the woman's sneer meant, and shook his head irritably: "That's why women are the most troublesome."
Temari's hands gradually clenched, the redness on her face also faded away, and her eyes were once again filled with coldness as she looked at Shikamaru.
This guy... should I just kill him now while I have the chance!
Just as she was thinking this, Shikamaru spoke again: "So, do you like me?"
"Ah!" Temari's entire face instantly turned red. "What are you talking about? How could I possibly like a guy like you!"
"I thought so." Shikamaru sighed, his tone with disappointment.
Temari: "..."
