Chapter 253 Fantasy
As soon as Ye Li left the school, she spotted Itachi waiting at the entrance of the Ninja Academy. She jogged over and asked, "Itachi, have you been waiting long?"
Itachi shook his head. "No, I haven't been here long. Let's go home!"
Ye Li nodded, "Okay, but before that, come with me to buy something."
Itachi hummed in agreement and moved closer to Ye.
The two walked together into the street. Itachi tried several times to hold Ye Li's hand, but was afraid of being rejected.
Ye Li suppressed a laugh, and finally she grabbed Itachi's hand and intertwined their fingers tightly.
Itachi's mind went blank for a moment, then he gripped Ye's hand tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Ye, do you like this doll?" Itachi looked a little puzzled. Based on his understanding of Ye, it seemed that she didn't really like this type of doll.
"I'm going to give it to my students," Ye Li explained, then told Itachi about her teaching her students.
Itachi didn't seem surprised when he heard this, as if he knew this was something she would do.
"Itachi, don't pay for me. I'm rich." A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Ye Li's face. It's hard not to spend money.
"What's mine is yours, it's okay." As soon as Itachi said this, he realized something was off. Seeing that Ye's face didn't change, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After paying, he no longer held back and took Ye's hand, leading them out of the store.
This scene was witnessed by Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, who were preparing for a meal together.
"Isn't that Itachi Uchiha? He's walking with another girl?"
Ebisu felt sorry for Uchiha Yoru, as he still hadn't forgotten her.
Genma Shiranui didn't reply, a hint of doubt flashing across his face. He didn't think Itachi would be that kind of person.
He just returned from a mission today and had no idea that Uchiha Ha was back in Konoha; otherwise, given his current position, he would have known.
Ye Li was wearing a mask and had changed her appearance, so he naturally didn't recognize her.
Ebisu had not yet started teaching at the Ninja Academy; instead, he was instructing Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson, Konohamaru, and was therefore unaware of this.
Passing by 'Tea House', Itachi noticed the look of longing on Yoru's face and led her over to buy a cup.
Ye Li tossed the doll to Itachi, took the milk tea from his hand without hesitation, and pulled down his mask to drink it.
"This is the taste..." She took a sip and her eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Itachi only had eyes for Ye Li, and seeing her like this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
One downside of taking off the mask is that it attracts too much attention; people turn around to look at you all the time, which makes Itachi very unhappy.
Little did he know that many girls were also secretly watching him, but the two looked very well-matched, so no one came up to disturb them.
A pair of unfriendly eyes were watching them from the crowd.
"This woman is definitely doing this on purpose. She looks down on what he bought, but is very happy with what others bought."
Don't blame him for using extreme measures. A surge of jealousy burned fiercely in his heart. Shui Mu didn't even consider his own shortcomings. He wasn't as handsome as the other man, nor was his family background. Besides, he had a fiancée. Where did he get the nerve?
Back home, Ye Li saw the wall that had been knocked down as soon as he entered the door. "Could Itachi have been planning this all along?"
The two entered their house at the same time. As soon as Itachi entered, he noticed the look in Ye's eyes and immediately felt a little nervous.
Although he did have this idea, the progress was much faster than he had imagined, and he was afraid that Ye would see through his scheme.
He broke the silence first, "Ye, I'm going to cook. I'll call you later!"
"Okay." Ye Li replied, turning her head to secretly smile. Itachi looked so much like a married man now.
After taking a bath and changing into his pajamas, Ye Li went through the wall that had been cleared to reach Itachi's house and sat on the sofa to wait.
Watching Itachi's busy figure, she rubbed her chin and said, "I really want to know if Itachi has eight-pack abs or something now."
When Itachi, who was cooking while activating his Sharingan, heard this, his hand trembled, and it took him a while to regain his composure.
"Sigh... If Itachi bought a white shirt and wore it, and then she accidentally touched a water glass and got it wet, then she would be able to see it."
"And Itachi would definitely look handsome in a white shirt, I really want to see him!"
As soon as he said that, a loud 'bang' sound came from the kitchen.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Li immediately ran to the kitchen, "Itachi, are you alright!"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally knocked over the vegetables I had just washed." He had now regained his black eyes and was picking up the things that had fallen on the ground.
"Itachi, let me help you!"
"Although I'm not good at cooking, I can still help out." She squatted down and helped pick up the food.
After picking up the dropped items, Ye Li wanted to help, but Itachi stopped her, saying, "Ye, I can do it. There's too much smoke in here, you can just wait outside."
"It will be ready to eat in a little while."
For some reason, Itachi felt that Ye shouldn't have done these things, and he had thought so ever since the day they met.
Ye Li obediently responded, but she did not leave. Instead, she quietly watched from a spot where it wouldn't interfere with Itachi's cooking.
Before long, his mind started wandering again.
Ye Li was nearby. Itachi hadn't activated his Sharingan to cook, so he couldn't hear her thoughts. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to cook.
During the meal, Itachi felt extremely guilty. He had been distracted by Ye's thoughts and hadn't noticed the clothes she was wearing.
He saw things he shouldn't have seen many times during the meal, making it the most difficult meal he had ever had.
Ye Li didn't pay attention to any of that; her attention was completely drawn to the food, all of which were things she liked to eat.
"Itachi is really something, he doesn't even know how to make something he likes."
Despite thinking this way, Ye Li's heart was filled with sweetness.
Itachi, who cherishes her like this, would be hard not to fall in love!
Back home, she buried herself under the covers and began to fantasize about Itachi confessing his love again, and then living a sweet, intimate life every day. It all sounded wonderful.
While in bed, Itachi was also fantasizing about his life with Yoh.
The next morning, Itachi made breakfast and saw that there was no movement in Ye's room, so he knew that she must not have woken up.
After much deliberation, he finally made his way through the passage.
He entered Ye's room and called softly, "Ye, are you awake?"
After calling for a while, Ye Li finally opened her eyes, looking confused. When she saw Itachi, her confusion only grew.
"What's going on? Are you still dreaming?"
She reached out and grabbed it. "It feels so real, this isn't a dream."
Ye Li snapped awake and sat up abruptly.
Itachi's face flushed instantly, and he quickly turned his head. "Ye, I've made breakfast. Remember to eat."
"I have to report to the Dark Division, so I'll be leaving now."
Itachi gave a few hoarse instructions and left Ye's room without looking back.
Upon arriving at the Anbu headquarters, he realized he had forgotten to bring his ninja tool bag, but thankfully he didn't have to go on a mission.
Ye Li scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
She was able to wake up today thanks to Itachi's wake-up service, and thankfully she wasn't late. Otherwise, having fallen asleep so late last night, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep until who knows how late.
With the reward of having their wishes fulfilled, students' enthusiasm for daily practice has reached unprecedented levels.
Only Shikamaru was somewhat dismissive of this, but his repeated losses to Ye Li in Go made him question his life choices.
