At this moment, Lin wasn't pondering why Kakashi had changed so drastically. The Kakashi she knew wouldn't have embraced her like this before!
But even if she did think about it, Lin would attribute Kakashi's transformation to the previous Kannabi Bridge Battle. Furthermore, the change in Kakashi made her like him even more, and her heart naturally accepted the Kakashi who had changed!
His hands tightly embraced Lin's slender, soft waist. Inhaling the fragrance of Lin's hair and the faint scent on her body, his chest pressed against a pair of proud peaks, Kakashi felt extremely satisfied, but he didn't have a single impure thought!
He simply wanted to hold Lin like this!
The two of them, under the flowing trees, embraced tightly, using their bodies to feel the other's heartbeats quicken for them!
"Lin! Be my girlfriend, and I'll protect you for the rest of my life!"
After a long, long time, Kakashi broke the sweet silence, gently speaking into Lin's ear!
Lin originally wanted to agree without thinking, but upon hearing Kakashi's latter sentence, her delicate body trembled violently. She then pushed Kakashi away, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at him!
Kakashi was stunned, not understanding why Lin had pushed him away!
Could he have been too forward?
Did Lin not like him at all?
Had he misunderstood everything?
"Kakashi, it's true I like you, very, very much! But I don't want you to accept me just because you promised Obito you'd protect me for the rest of my life!"
Looking at Kakashi, Lin finally revealed the reason for pushing him away!
As she said this, Lin's eyes reddened, and tears welled up.
She had just remembered the scene where Kakashi had made that promise to Obito Uchiha!
Lin also remembered what Kakashi had said to her before, that he was only protecting her because of Obito Uchiha!
Thinking about this, Lin felt a tearing pain in her heart. She liked Kakashi, and she really wanted to be with him and become his girlfriend, but she absolutely didn't want to accept this kind of outcome. What she wanted was for Kakashi to truly like her, not because of a promise he made to Obito Uchiha!
Hearing this, Kakashi was speechless, he hadn't expected Lin to push him away for this reason!
He liked Lin even more for pursuing the love she wanted!
"It's all that idiot Kakashi's fault!"
Kakashi cursed inwardly, cursing the original owner of his body. When he first transmigrated, his soul was dominated by the original Kakashi, which was why he had rejected Lin's confession. Now, it had caused him trouble!
"Lin! Listen to me, it's not because of my promise to Obito that I want to protect you for the rest of my life. It's because I really like you!"
Then Kakashi looked at Lin seriously and said. He had to make things clear at this moment!
Otherwise, even if Lin really liked him, she probably wouldn't have accepted being with him!
"You're lying! Then why did you reject me before?"
Lin looked at Kakashi's serious expression, slightly stunned. Tenderness reappeared in her eyes, but she quickly questioned Kakashi!
"That's because Obito had just sacrificed himself then. Obito sacrificed himself because of me, and he liked you very much. So, even though I liked you, I didn't dare to accept you! Because Obito sacrificed himself because of me, I couldn't steal the girl he liked after he died!"
"But now I've figured it out. Obito also hoped that I would accept you, so he asked me to protect you!"
"You felt my heartbeat just now, right? It sped up completely because of you. I really like you and want to be with you, not just because I promised Obito to protect you!"
Hearing Lin's question, Kakashi immediately defended himself without thinking!
Although some of it wasn't the truth, the fact that Kakashi had fallen for Lin was indeed true!
Looking at Lin, Kakashi showed no hesitation or avoidance, proving that he was speaking from the heart!
"R-really?"
Lin murmured in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Kakashi. Thinking about what Kakashi had just said, Lin immediately believed him!
Her heart was instantly overwhelmed by this sudden, genuine happiness, and tears of joy streamed down her face!
Muttering to herself, Lin couldn't help but throw herself into Kakashi's arms, her happy tears leaving two bright, shimmering trails in the air!
"Whew!"
Holding the fragrant body in his arms, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally explained it away, even though it was a bit far-fetched. Lin certainly wouldn't notice any loopholes!
"Of course it's true. Now, will you accept me?"
Holding Lin, Kakashi then continued to ask her!
After asking, Kakashi became nervous again; he was still very anxious about whether Lin would accept him!
The rapid beating of his heart was immediately noticed by Lin, who was leaning against Kakashi.
"Mmm!"
Knowing that Kakashi genuinely liked her, how could Lin possibly refuse him? Happily, she gave a soft "mmm" in Kakashi's arms!
Her face was flushed with excitement and shyness, making her look incredibly cute and alluring!
Seeing how adorable Lin was, Kakashi couldn't restrain himself this time. He pulled down his mask and pressed his lips against Lin's delicate lips!
