Chapter 483
"..."
Shikamaru didn't say anything else, but just held Sakura's hand. As a disciple of Lady Tsunade, he would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later. This was also... the best destination, at least compared to being imprisoned in the village.
And he couldn't always be by her side. After all, the Nara family had always existed as shadows for generations. Even when they were on a mission, they were always the Pig, Deer, and Chou team...
troublesome.
"don’t worry."
Sakura's gentle voice sounded beside Shikamaru's ears. Seeing her touch her hair and blink her clear and bright eyes, Shikamaru's subconsciously frowned brows slowly relaxed. After a long silence, he gently embraced Sakura in his arms.
Sakura was silent for a moment. Where Shikamaru couldn't see, the corners of her lips gradually glowed with the luster of beautiful jade. Her eyes were filled with a soft luster. She leaned on his warm chest, feeling the strong beating and enjoying the rare peace.
"I... am very worried about you. I can't protect you during the mission... let alone the situation that arises later..."
After hearing Shikamaru's words, Sakura raised her eyes slightly, and not surprisingly met a pair of misty, tender and slightly watery eyes. Her breathing inexplicably stagnated and her heartbeat slowed down. The comfort that was about to come to her lips inexplicably stopped, and she sighed silently in her heart.
Sakura's hand gently stroked Shikamaru's back, patting it rhythmically. She inexplicably remembered a sentence from a book she had read before. She didn't understand the meaning of the sentence at the time, but now she has become the person in the song.
"Time will separate you and me one day, but even so, before that moment, we are still together, and that is enough."
Shikamaru's eyes stayed on her face, his eyes were full of love and care. If life really had light, then before his own life flame was extinguished, as long as he could illuminate her a little bit, that would be all he could do...
Those thousands of words finally turned into an extremely pious kiss that gently fell on Sakura's forehead.
Night gradually fell, covering the entire forest, reminding them that it was time to return to Konoha Village.
Xiaoying stood up and stretched. Suddenly she remembered something important and asked, "Where is the herb?"
Shikamaru waved his hand, cleared his throat, and replied, "After washing the herbs just now, I asked my shadow clone to deliver them to my father."
Sakura nodded to show that she understood. After all, the original intention of their coming to this forest was to find these medicinal herbs.
She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, wondering how could she be so focused on romance that she forgot about her business?
Shikamaru gently took Sakura's hand. He could feel her palm getting slightly warm. The touch made him feel warm, as if he was being illuminated by the warm sun in winter. When their fingers gradually moved closer, it was as if their hearts were also slowly moving closer. This kind of tacit understanding did not need words, everything was self-evident.
The low-hanging clouds slowly passed through the night sky as light as gauze, like the dancing skirt of a fairy.
The soft moonlight scattered through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on the ground. The forest at this time seemed more mysterious under the moonlight. The breeze blew slowly, and the leaves made a rustling sound, as if a group of elves were whispering and telling the ancient legend... ...
