Naruto In The World Of Beautiful CEO 37 You Should Be Proud

Time flow like a river in the mountainside.

Now it's supposed to be a time to leave yet Naruto still fixed on his chair while lazily typing the keyboard on his desk, soon he pressed the last keypad with a vigor and yelled in happiness, "Woaah! finally, finish another one-ttebayou!"

Naruto was so preoccupied with his own little heaven that he didn't realize that no one had responded to his outburst.

"Um?" Naruto noticed something seems not right, he takes a look around him only to find that he was the only one left in the offices.

"Whaaaaat?" Naruto stared in a daze, how can he so ridiculously focused in doing a work till he didn't know that other worker had left? But he felt himself doing this in lazy and sloppy manner, yet he still managed to be that focus?

"Whoever making this plot, please be sensible..." Naruto sighed as he tidies up his stuff and prepared to leave. He was about to stride to the work floor's front door when a glimpse of light from office's lamp successfully stop his motion. He glanced in that direction and recognized the source is coming from his tsundere supervisor's room.

'Did she still here even at this hour?' Naruto doubtfully thought. He spread his sense to the room and caught a familiar aura but it had a little chaotic color right now.

Naruto hesitated for a while before he decides to check up on her, after all, he is a good subordinate.

Naruto stood in front of her room's door and carefully pushed it open, the door was opened only a bit but wide enough for him to take a peek.

A Scent that coming out from the air freshener welcomed his presence, it was sweet and comfortable to inhale, His eyes caught a form of a blue color desk at the end of the room, a figure with a cute face, long loose dark brown hair, and a white collar s.h.i.+rt appeared within his vision. Naruto gazed at the enchanting show displayed before him, this tsundere supervisor of his was indeed one of the beautiful women he ever met, especially her unique cute face that become her distinguished charm.

At this moment, this cutie's face had a serious expression plastered all over, her hand grab a hold of the mouse beside her computer's display and her delicate forefinger kept scrolling up and down the middle part of it. Sometimes she would retake her hand and curled her palm then put it on her cheek while the rest of her hand leaning against the chair's arm.

"Hmm.. should it be like this?"

"No... no... maybe like this?"

"Ah wait, I should be adding this and this..."

"Wait no, it becomes too complicated..."

Although Mo Qianni was mumbling in a low voice, Naruto's high sense of hearing could still pick it up. He stunned for short time before it replaced with an admiration, no wonder she was able to sit in that position and got that many achievements, turned out she was really a hardworking person. Today, Naruto had been turned shocked in awe twice, the first one was because of his heroine companion, Zhang Cai, and now his tsundere supervisor, Mo Qianni.

Naruto became embarra.s.sed when he remembering his lazy and careless att.i.tude while working before. He is a man, how could he act like that when the women around him fight with their tooth and nail? With a faint smile, Naruto cheered himself up and glanced at the frowning Mo Qianni, the chaotic aura she had before now is getting more restless.

It seems like she was too unsure about her own work and became confuse or depress in the process.

Taking another glance at her chaotic aura, he helplessly shook his head, If she keep going like this, not only she gets no result, it could even become worst.

Sometimes when people want to get an inspiration or breakthrough for their work, they just need to take a step back a little or relax for a while. Of course, there were also people who do it in an extreme way such as using drugs, drink a lot of alcohol, even go to the red-light district.

Naruto suddenly had a faint smile while he gently looked at Mo Qianni, Chief Mo, thank you for being such an inspirational leader, consider this as my reward and appreciation for you.

With that thought, Naruto closed his eyes, soon the natural air around him had a hint of change.

If someone had an extraordinary eyes to see what's happened, they would be seeing a big pale blue flame around Naruto slowly turned its color into yellow slight orange, this is an indication when Naruto normal aura started to blend with the nature around him, the effect of course not only just to paint a new color into his aura, it also can be used for many things, for example when he ejected the aphrodisiac gas from Lin Ruoxi nerve system, another an example is when he used it to help Mei Mei and Lin Ruoxi nouris.h.i.+ng their body, and of course it can also be used like he's just about to do...

Naruto's aura began spreading out, but it wasn't going to go berserk because they seem like appeared to be focusing on one destination which is toward the cute young lady ahead. His aura glued itself with hers and they joined together in harmony,

"Hmm..." Mo Qianni could not help but let out a comfortable moan, she was feeling it like she is taking a bath in a warm water pool. She didn't know where this sudden sensation coming from but it's not like she hated or rejected it.

Soon, her restless aura became peaceful and the once chaotic now became harmonized.

Naruto smiled in satisfaction before he took back his own aura and opened his eyelids upon the moment receiving it. His eye's pupil stayed in a horizontal strip for a while then it becomes normal again.

"I know! I should be adding this and little bit of that, then it will become perfect! Hehe, I bet Ruoxi will have her jaw dropped when she seeing my proposal!" she joyfully said and her fingers commenced their magic on her computer keyboard.

Naruto chuckled after hearing what she just said.

Ruoxi sure feeling really blessed to have such a best friend like you to support her in this company.

He stood and prepared to leave before he took a last look at his ecstatic supervisor.

Hang in there chief.

The sun already half-set when Naruto arrived at the outside building, it was giving a quite beautiful impression since it painted the sky with scarlet like color.

It was already this late? no wonder everyone has gone, Naruto thought while took out his phone, there were several messages come into him and turned out it was from his several colleagues.

Zhao Hongyan: "You were so 'serious' back at the work, so I hate to disturb you, I'm going first OK? see you tommorow~ (✿◠‿◠)"

Liu Mingyu: "Oh the 'spirit' of work you shown was admirable (*´▽｀*), I don't want to bother you, so keep going champ!"

Zhang Cai: "Naruto, don't come back really late Ok? I heard the security tend to lock the door without seeing inside (((( ;ﾟДﾟ)))"

Zhang Cai message still continued

Ps: "Thank you for the treat (≧∇≦)/, sorry for being such a brick-head _(._.)_"

Naruto smiled upon reading the rest of his coworker messages, though he still couldn't comprehend how he managed to be that focus till he didn't even know his coworker leaving him alone there.

Seriously, who created such a ridiculous plot? Naruto sighed once again as he exited the messages feature, he stayed still for a second before he tapped the contact icon on his phone, then he skimming through his contact list and dialed the person he wanted to call.

*Tuut...*

*Tuut...*

*Tuut..*

Naruto waited for the whole minute until...

"Sorry the number you're calling does not answer, please try again later"

Naruto look at his phone with a wrinkled brow, The h.e.l.l? Her phone off?

He pressed the dial icon once again, but this time...

*Tuut...*

*Tuut...*

It only resounding twice before the connection was cut off, the operator lady did not even have a chance to talk

Did she actually mad at me?! Naruto dejectedly crouched in his spot, he read once in a magazine that if a girl was feeling angry or sad because of you, they would decide to isolate themselves from you like giving a cold shoulder or refuse to talk. The most extreme case, she will try to avoid meeting you then in the end, breaking up.

Ooh, what to do... at this rate I would never have a chance to talk with her if she didn't even want to see me... Naruto rubbed his temple in annoyance, things like this always gave him a headache the most.

"Naruto?"

"Woah?!"

"Kyaa!"

When he was in the middle of racking his brain, a soft voice belongs to a woman resound behind him. He jumped in fright at the sudden appearance of the voice, his over-reaction also did give the woman a heart attack and causing her to stumble to the floor.

"Ouuh... what gives?" the woman groaned, her cute face twitched in pain.

Naruto calmed himself down and breathed an air of relief when he saw the person who surprised him from behind was Mo Qianni who are currently rubbing her bottom part.

"Chief Mo, you should not be playing prank like this," Naruto gave an annoyance expression while sat down beside her, helping her gather around her scattered file.

"Who's playing prank?!" Mo Qianni glared at him, "it was you who shock me to death by screaming out like that!"

She was on her way back while having a very good mood, and she noticed him crouching on the middle way of the Yu Lei building entrance, out of curiosity, she greeted him, not only he gave her a beating to her heart, he even accused her of pranking, how could she not be mad?!

Realized that he was in the wrong, Naruto lowered his head in shame, "Sorry Chief Mo, it was my fault, you're not hurt anywhere are you?"

"Well, my b.u.t.t hurt..." she said while trying to stand up, Naruto quickly offered his hand which she gladly accepted it.

"Never mind, what were you doing anyway?" she fixed her dark blazer and knee-length skirt.

Naruto gave her a wry smile, "I'm just... thinking."

Mo Qianni furrowed her brow, she seems in thought for a while, then she nodded and said: "Well whatever, be a gentleman and carry that for me will you?"

"Oh, OK..." Naruto hugged the files close to his chest and walked with her from behind.

In the early evening and empty office save for several securities, two figure of human could be seen strolling across the office building front yard, the sounds of their footsteps echoed in the desolate place...

"How's work?" out of nowhere, Mo Qianni spoke without turning her face.

"Uuh, not all done, but I think I do pretty well..." Naruto directed his eyeb.a.l.l.s upward, trying his best to remember the h.e.l.lish experience called paperwork.

"Take it easy, no one las.h.i.+ng you out with a whip," Mo Qianni giggled at his response.

They greeted the underground parking lot's security which was politely saluted them. There was a room for staircase near to the security pos, so everyone from second base and below could quickly get into their car without had to stride through a path mean for the vehicle.

"Why there is no lift to the bas.e.m.e.nt, Chief Mo?"

"Hmm, I'm not really sure, it was already like this at my first day."

Naruto and Mo Qianni proceed through the stairway, the height between the steps wasn't high so everyone can leisurely climbed it without much a care, "You see, this building originally a made over from an old hotel," Mo Qianni said.

"Really?" Naruto slightly surprised at the news.

Mo Qianni nodded as they went to the second stairway, "The previous chairman and owner of Yu Lei bought this building from her old relative because it was rumored of bankruptcy."

The previous owner? Ruoxi's grandmother?

Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows at the thought, while Mo Qianni did not know Naruto's expression, she kept talking, "After that, she completely rebuilt and remodeled the building so it can properly suitable for offices, at that time this underground parking lot was not an existence."

Naruto held a curious face while listening some backstory of the building from Mo Qianni's mouth, since she was adopted by Ruoxi's grandmother and practically Ruoxi's best friend, she ought to know several secret or history.

They arrived at the outside of the staircase's room, there was only company specialized cars and another car here. Company cars usually use only for company business such as picking up an esteemed guest or deliver important person. Of course, since it was mean for sort of things like that, the brand of the cars wasn't a joke: one was BMW 328i and another was black metallic Range Rover. Any person who see these in the flesh, two from the top list of the popular and expensive cars this year, definitely would become very excited but Naruto just took it a glance for a moment before moved his vision toward the car that parked far from these two.

If he remembered correctly, from one of the magazines he read, Audi A6 was enlisted as one of the best pick cars for this following year with a quite sizeable sum. To be able to purchase such a car, clearly his supervisor annual income was good, probably with all of those achievements and feat, the company also gave her enormous compensation.

"Everything had been built, along with the elevator but there is the only thing that the late chairman didn't do..." Mo Qianni stopped spoken at this moment as if trying to create a suspense atmosphere.

"She didn't build a restroom?" Naruto chuckled.

"Yes... I mean no!" Mo Qianni snapped and gave Naruto a death glare, her face flushed with anger, "Have you not listening to what I have been saying?!"

Naruto almost burst out laughing but knowing it will fuel the rising fire within her, he decided to hold it back.

"OK, OK... Chief Mo, please appease anger, I'm just joking."

Mo Qianni snorted and kept walking again, "Anyway, she didn't build an option for the elevator to go for the bas.e.m.e.nt." She raised her bag and took out her car key, "The reason was still unknown until now, even the current CEO had no idea."

*Ding-Ding!*

The sound of car safety lock had been open and Mo QIanni pulled the back seat door of her car.

"Then why the current CEO didn't try to do it?" Naruto ducked and carefully placed the files.

Mo Qianni shook her head, there was a trace of sadness in her cute and smooth face, "I don't know, the relations.h.i.+p between them was closed, so maybe she... just tried to honor every late chairman deed inside and outside the company."

Naruto nodded, he remembered the relations.h.i.+p between Lin Ruoxi's grandmother and her was indeed thick, after all, when her mother pa.s.sed away, the grandmother is the only one left from her relative that give her love and compa.s.sion.

'Ruoxi...' he dejectedly thought

This time, his sour expression got caught by Mo Qianni's eyes, she thought that Naruto was affected emotionally just because the CEO's plight, little bit she knew there is more to it.

"Don't worry, albeit the CEO was indeed sad, but she's one strong woman!" Mo Qianni cheerfully said, she opened the driver compartment and sat inside, "I know her, I believe she would be able to lead Yu Lei to become number 1 in business food-chain!" She smiled at him while closing the car door.

Naruto also smiled back at her, he really thought that Lin Ruoxi was indeed in blessing to have people who believe in and supported her.

Ruoxi, if only you know.

Mo Qianni noticed that Naruto just stay on his feet while smiling at her, "What are you doing?"

"Eh? Eeeh... I'm smiling at you," Naruto awkwardly said.

She chuckled, "I know you're smiling at me, I mean why do you standing there for?"

"I'm waiting for you to... drive away?" Naruto unsure what this tsundere supervisor wanted from him.

She almost bashed her forehead into the car's steer, "You thought I'm just going to leave you here?!"

"You not?" Naruto honestly surprised.

"What do you take me for? I bring you here and just left you be?" Mo Qianni didn't get to understand how this man's brain worked, he was naive, stupid, or what?

"Oh..." Naruto became red in embarra.s.sment, with an awkward smile he said: "Then, sorry to bother you, Chief Mo."

Mo QIanni helplessly nodded while Naruto walked across the car and get into the front pa.s.senger seat.

She put the key into the ignition hole and soon the car's engine started, she entered the gear then her car started to move in motion.

"Naruto, have you thought what kind of company that you will establish a relations.h.i.+p with?" on the way, Mo Qianni asked out of curiosity.

Naruto shook his head, "No, Chief Mo, not yet."

She glanced at him, "Well, it's alright, no rush but you must remember that your trial day was about to over, and soon you will truly enter the business world." She slowly turned the steering in the right direction, "The business world is compet.i.tive and selective, if you just lazy around without any perseverance, you just become other people prey."

Naruto listened to her advice with an earnest expression, although Naruto had dive into that part of life before, he never really took it seriously, and somehow he felt a little bit of regret now.

Short after, they arrived at the bus pick up point not far from Yu Lei since Mo Qianni thought Naruto will go home with it. Naruto himself fine with that and not bother himself explained anything to Mo Qianni.

"Despite everything I said, the most important thing to remember is to keep bravely move forward and did the best you can!" Mo Qianni shouted at him from the driver seat.

Naruto by now already stood outside the car, he nodded in grat.i.tude to Mo Qianni.,"Thanks, Chief! For both driving me here and the lesson."

Mo Qianni stayed still for awhile, then with a smile, she said: "Hey, Naruto!"

"Hm? Yes, Chief?"

"If I'm mad at someone, I want that person to deliver me my favorite food as an apology!"

"Huh?"

Without gave any explanation, Mo Qianni stepped her delicate feet on the gas pedal and quickly drove away, leaving a confuse and alone Naruto at the bus picking up point.

What did she mean by that? Naruto adopted thoughtful expression, then like a light bulb suddenly lit on, he revealed a delightful face.

She sees through me huh? he rubbed his nose. Looking at the departing direction of Mo Qianni, Naruto eyes reflected a gentle color.

He took a deep breath and with a determination face, he thought: 'Alright! let's do this!'

(***)

" I'm back!"

The moon had risen, The Dragon Villa was quiet and peaceful as always. The night wind was breezing, brought about the leaves from the tree around the vicinity to follow and dance along. Naruto was taking off his shoes and putting it on the shelf when w.a.n.g Ma came from inside the house.

"Young Master, welcome! You quite late today," w.a.n.g Ma said with everyday smile hung on her face.

"Yeah, Auntie w.a.n.g. I'd something to take care," Naruto also brought out his smile and proceeded to walk into the hall with her.

"Have Young Master eaten?" w.a.n.g Ma asked with concern.

Naruto tapped his tummy, he excitedly said: "Nope, my stomach is hollow!"

w.a.n.g Ma put her hand on her lips while giggled at his behavior. "Well, Young Master, do you want to eat or take a bath first?"

"I think I'm going with the bath..." Naruto sniffed his body through his collar s.h.i.+rt and his nose twitched, "I'm reek."

w.a.n.g Ma couldn't help but really laughed now, "Then young master, I will prepare the food while you take the bath."

By this moment, They had arrived at the living room, Naruto once again swept his eye to the entire place but his eyes didn't catch any sight of a certain beautiful G.o.ddess. With disappointed expression, Naruto asked w.a.n.g Ma, "Auntie w.a.n.g, Ruoxi?"

w.a.n.g Ma seems felt Naruto's sad emotion but there is strange light on her eyes before she replied: "Young miss went into the bed early"

Naruto sighed upon hearing this, Another failure?

"Young Master, Should I wake her up?" w.a.n.g Ma asked

Naruto stayed still as he seriously was considering it, but he guessed that Lin Ruoxi probably had a lot of activity today, Naruto shook his head, "No, don't. She must be tired"

After that, both people went into their own thing.

When Naruto was about to twist his door's k.n.o.b, he stopped and glanced at Lin Ruoxi's room door, he was tempted to check on her but recalled that she may yet forgive him, he became dispirited and carried on to his room. Naruto's room was surprisingly tidy and neat, maybe because he rarely spent his time here or it was w.a.n.g Ma's deed. Naruto sighed and walked toward his balcony which only separated by a door size gla.s.s. On the other side of that gla.s.s, a person identical to Naruto could be seen, everything about this person was the same with him except for the white package on his hand.

Naruto unclasped the lock on the gla.s.s door and slid it open, "Here boss!" the second Naruto spoke with indifference like he has no emotion. Naruto abruptly accepted the white package

Without said anything, he closed it back.

The second Naruto didn't show any anger or being an offended person, he just stood there and disappeared with a smoke.

Naruto placed the white package on his desk, the package made of plastic material, the size was only about medium size book. Naruto staring intently at the white package, he had been searching for the shop who sell this all around Zhong Hai, and when he found one, it had a long line like people buying ticket to watch a soccer game in the stadium, after a torturous waiting, he finally got his turn and bought the d.a.m.n thing. Now, the person he was about to give is unavailable and this thing will go to waste.

What I'm supposed to do now...

After finished taking a bath and had his private time, Naruto went back into the living room with a grey T-s.h.i.+rt and short pant. He noticed w.a.n.g Ma is not yet done with the food so he headed to the soft couch and turn on the TV. There is no specific program that managed to attract him, no cat chasing mouse, no some freaking giants chasing human and definitely no frog with sergeant rank which his favorite. So he can only be watched the news.

Surprisingly, the news today managed to gain his attention, they talking about the event in this late afternoon, where the police fought against underworld gangs, but what attracted him the most, was the valiant looking policewoman beside the beautiful reporter.

"Chief Cai, congratulation on your great success!" The reporter cheerfully said

"Thank you," Cai Yan, on the contrary, looked stiff and cold. A smile expression she wore like a mask covering her true expression, Naruto didn't know whether she was nervous or irritated by being presented on the TV. The beautiful reporter seems noticed this but she acted like knew nothing and keep up cheerful expression.

"So what's next for the West station of the Zhong Hai's law enforcement?" The beautiful reporter extended the mic on her hand.

"The leader of that underworld group, Chen Dahai, was still on the loose, so we will not rest until we succeed on apprehending him," Cai Yan said.

Chen Dahai? this dude again? so, his criminal group now is over? Naruto couldn't help but praise this valiant and hot police-chick, also being reminded again with this Chen whole thing made Naruto miss the Lee family, especially the delicate daughter of them, Lee Jinjing.

He remembered he didn't say anything to her at the last night him be in the West side.

Jinjing, how are you know? do you miss elder brother?

"Chief Cai, reports say that there's another attack on the different location from yours, what do you say?" the beautiful reporter continued her interview.

"We sure you the police hadn't anything to do with that," Cai Yan lips twitched.

"So, the police didn't work together with gangs?" the beautiful reporter threw a crafty smile.

"No," Cai Yan coldly answered.

"But why it happened at the same time?" she said.

G.o.d, this reporter is annoying, both Naruto and Cai Yan shared the same thought.

Cai Yan rolled her eyes as she simply answered: "Coincident and opportunity."

Smart! Naruto put out his thumb.

"Thank you for the answers Chief Cai," Since Cai Yan kept her mouth shut regarding this, the beautiful reporter can only be resigned in disappointment.

"Your welcome."

The news ended with Cai Yan's answer, and changed into another,

"Young master, the food's ready," w.a.n.g Ma shouted from the dining room,

"Thanks Auntie w.a.n.g," Naruto who prepared to watch another news quickly stood up and headed there without turning off the TV.

"Next, a dead body had been found in the dumpster at the alley of east Zhong Hai this morning, the police suspected that the body could be a cannibalized victim..."

Unfortunately for Naruto that he didn't hear that shocking news as he already shutting down his other senses beside eyes at this moment, "h.e.l.l yeah! Another ramen!"

w.a.n.g Ma, who usually laughed or giggled at his antics this time, showed unexpectedly a worried appearance.

"Please enjoy young master," she nervously said, this strange and weird behavior didn't enter Naruto's eyes as he being lovey-dovey with the ramen.

He with spirit, grabbed the chopstick and quickly ate the ramen before saying, "Itadakimasu~"

Upon the supposed G.o.dsend food touched the vicinity inside his mouth, Naruto froze.

The noodle was half entering his mouth but he just simply... stopped.

His skin turned pale, his eyes became teary, his nose twitched, and cold sweat dripped from his temple.

"Y-young master, how is it taste?" w.a.n.g Ma with scared expression quickly asked although she probably knew the answer.

There was a strange brief time before Naruto slurped the entire noodle, he even took a sip of the soup, his eyes twitched and like a wrathful G.o.d, Naruto eyes swept toward the kitchen, a mischief curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's delicious as always!" Naruto said. w.a.n.g Ma stared at him with doubt.

"But..." Naruto grabbed the noodle with his chopstick, "The noodle was too soggy, instead of giving me an edible soft texture in the mouth. it's terrible and nauseating..." He put back the noodle and twisted it around the soup, "The soup was tasteless, wait, worse than tasteless, I mean, I'm not sure what taste is this..." It didn't stop there as Naruto continued, "The topping was awfully looking bad, Auntie w.a.n.g, is this boiled egg? But why it looks like a chemical weapon instead?" Naruto grabbed one of the meat, "The meat looks still raw... I mean you did cook it right?" Naruto kept went on and on about the 'ramen' he ate, w.a.n.g Ma already full of cold sweat for an unknown reason.

At this moment,

*Tup!* *Tup!* *Tup!*

"Shut up! Don't eat it if you don't like it!"

From the kitchen, a beautiful woman beyond humanity appeared, her usual loose hair now tied in a ponytail, she wore a pink colored ap.r.o.n in front of her long-sleeve white s.h.i.+rts, her white short pant was little above her knees, revealed a smooth and white skin behind the curtain. The beautiful woman now was flushed red from head to toe, it wasn't from shyness or excitement, and absolutely not from arousal. Her chest was heaved fiercely, causing the plentiful front of her goes up and down, up and down. Her usual crystal clear and bright eye now like a death laser that ready to burn down the man in front of her. But the man didn't show any scared expression or feeling guilty, instead, he holding his stomach and...

"Bwahahaha!"

Lin Ruoxi's body was trembling in anger, although she knew her cooking was bad, did he have to say it like that? If she had a power of hulk, she would already unleash 'hulk smash' toward this hateful man.

"Give it back to me!" Lin Ruoxi roared.

"Nope!" Naruto adopted a careless att.i.tude and blocked her from taking away the ramen.

"Why? Do you want to keep mocking me?" Lin Ruoxi asked in bitter expression.

"Yes, mam! I am!"

Hearing his response almost made her want to cry on the spot. She had spent so much time to make this, from failure to another failure, she kept going, and the result was this?

"Is it truly that bad?" she asked, her tone was full of hope.

"Yup, it's disgusting!" Naruto nonchalantly answered. Her eyes become teary but it turned shocked because of the next moment...

He ate it again...

Yes, the man who heartlessly kept insulting her cook now ate it like it was just usual food,

Lin Ruoxi stared in a daze, Is he lying? Is he just playing with me?

She couldn't keep her urged in check as she asked him, "Why... do you keep eating it?"

Naruto didn't answer her immediately, he just kept eating the food like he drunk a water. The noodle, the soup, the boiled eggs, the topping, and other, one by one enter his mouth.

Time to time, his body trembled in a strong wave, a moment for a moment, his expression like someone who about to throw up.

It took time for Naruto to stabilize his critical condition after eating the whole ramen, then with a sincere smile and soft tone he said:

"Because... you made this for me..."

"Eh?" Lin Ruoxi didn't quite understand his meaning

Naruto stood up from his chair, he a little bit wobbly before managed to walk normally toward her.

"You struggle in making it, aren't you?"

Lin Ruoxi realized what he hinted at and quickly hide her hand behind her back.

"Don't hide your finger," Naruto arrived before her and reached out to her hand at her back. He grabbed her small hand, and he brought it out to her front.

On her delicate and slender fingers, there were several bandages decorating it, there were even few burned mark here and there.

"it's a proof of your effort," he gazes dearly at her new 'accessories', "You should be proud instead."

"Why?" Lin Ruoxi previous nuclear bomb had been defused, then replaced with miniature box sound which let out a comfortable and serene sound. She used to hear it when she was a child, her mother bought it for her and told her to play it if she couldn't sleep at the night, Naruto's gentle voice, was the same.

Naruto bent down, and kissed her wound one by one, it made her shy but also delighted at the same time, Naruto tightly gripped her hand for a moment before he faced her again, his next word making her really spilled tears now.

"Because you succeed on making my heart's warm..."

She couldn't let out any voice, she feared if she did, it was a sob and wept voice, she didn't want him to hear her cry anymore, she should smile, he said she should feel proud.

"Um," In the end, she could only say that. Naruto gently traced her wound, she felt warm engulfing her wound and little itchy. After a certain time, he finally releases her hand. They smiled at each other before Naruto expression became bitter.

"But seriously though, don't make it again next time?"

"Hateful!"
