Chapter 252 Take it slow
Chapter 252 Take it slow
When Ye Li arrived at her doorstep, she noticed something placed there, with a sticky note on it.
"Itachi, you bought me breakfast this morning?"
"I made this, but you don't seem to have seen it, Ye." A faint sense of disappointment rose in Itachi's heart.
"Um, well... I was late this morning."
"Um... I was so focused on getting to school that I didn't notice," Ye Li said, lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Itachi suppressed a laugh upon hearing this explanation; this was indeed something Ye would do.
"Itachi, I'm going home. This is for lunch. I can't let your kindness go to waste."
Ye Li was about to push open the door to go home with her things when Itachi quickly spoke up, "Ye, I bought a lot of things today to celebrate moving. I can't eat that much by myself, so I'd like to invite you to my house for a meal."
"There are a bit too many sweet words, she can't handle it!" Ye Li pouted, but the words that came out of his mouth were, "Okay!"
"Ye Li, you're finished. How could you let your mind wander so easily?" She tried to warn herself, but the corners of her mouth were desperately trying to turn up in a smile.
"Ye, sit down for a while, it will be ready soon."
"Okay." Ye Li sat on the sofa and replied, picking up the plush toy next to him and looking around at the place where Itachi was now living.
It was completely different from the clan chief's house; it was filled with warmth and was the style she liked.
"That's not right. Itachi's house has nothing to do with whether she likes it or not."
She made a self-deprecating remark, then suddenly saw something, stood up, and walked to a cabinet on the wall. Inside were all the things she had wanted to throw away but couldn't bear to, which she then gave to Itachi, and he had actually collected them all.
"What a dense weasel. I wonder when he'll confess to her again. It shouldn't be too long!" she muttered to herself, then turned around when she noticed Weasel standing behind her.
Itachi's heart inexplicably quickened, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "It's time to eat, Ye."
"Okay!" She smiled and walked towards the dining table.
After just one meal, Ye Li felt like a useless person.
She's not a child, there's no need for her to act like this, really.
But it seems to really enjoy being fed by the weasel, and it keeps feeding it uncontrollably.
"Ye, come to my house for every meal from now on, otherwise I'll get bored eating alone."
"Okay, wouldn't it be more convenient to knock down that wall?" Ye Li suggested calmly, though he was actually extremely nervous inside.
There shouldn't be anything wrong with her creating opportunities for herself!
No, she was prepared to reject Itachi's confession before, so what does that mean now?
It must be because Itachi's handsome face is always flashing in front of her, damn it!
Itachi was clearly stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll do it this afternoon."
As expected, his previous confession was too abrupt. Now, by taking it step by step, he can quickly win back Ye's heart. Once that place is ready, it will be time for them to live together.
Itachi couldn't help but imagine his future life.
"Ye, there's still a while before class starts. You should rest for a bit. I'll call you later."
"Okay." Without thinking, Ye Li leaned on Itachi's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Itachi froze instantly. "Is Ye responding to his feelings?" He was a little uncertain, after all, this kind of thing often happened before, it's just that he's grown up now.
It's all good in the end; Itachi's heart felt as if it were being nourished by honey.
There is another way, which is to activate the Sharingan and listen to Yoru's inner thoughts, but he doesn't want to do that.
"Itachi, isn't this a bad idea? Sasuke will be very upset if he sees this." Ye Li was overjoyed to hear that Itachi was going to take her to school, but she still reminded him of Sasuke.
How could someone who's such a doting brother become like this? It doesn't fit her character at all, even though it hasn't for a long time. But saying it out loud will make her feel less guilty.
It wasn't that she wanted to steal Itachi from Sasuke; it's just that Itachi was too good, and she couldn't resist!
"No, you won't," she reassured him.
Ye Li was in such a rush that morning that he forgot to bring his mask. He went home, put on a mask, grabbed some books, and then walked with Itachi toward the Ninja Academy.
On the way, she asked with a puzzled look, "Itachi, are the Anbu so free now?"
"Yes, it's definitely much easier than before," Itachi said directly, without hiding anything.
"Oh, that's good then."
"I'm at school now, see you tonight." She waved with a smile in her eyes before going inside.
Itachi watched Ye Li disappear from his sight before turning and heading towards the Anbu.
As soon as Ye Li entered the school, he saw a person standing on the path leading to his classroom.
She pretended not to see it and simply ignored it.
When Ye Li passed by him, Mizuki's face darkened instantly, but he quickly regained his usual gentle smile and walked up to her. "Teacher Ye, this is a new drink from Tea House. It's said to be very popular with girls in Konoha. I bought it especially for you to try."
As he spoke, he handed over the drink he was holding.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Shuimu, I can't carry all that stuff. Class is about to start, so I have to go now." Ye Li said apologetically, then hurriedly walked around and left.
Rejected once again, Mizuki's face darkened considerably, and he unconsciously crushed the drink in his hand. This scene was witnessed by Shikamaru, who always arrived at the perfect moment.
"The person Teacher Ye mentioned this morning must be this one."
Shikamaru immediately wanted to teach this person a lesson, but his current strength was clearly no match for a Chunin teacher.
"What a hassle!"
He didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter, but he was thinking about how to teach this person a lesson.
As soon as class started, Ye Li led his students to the playground to continue their morning practice.
She created three shadow clones this time, while her real body read a book in the tree.
However, this is only on the surface. There is another book inside the book, otherwise it would have a bad influence if the students saw it. She is not as blatant as Kakashi.
Naruto, however, pulled off a 'Sexy Jutsu', which resulted in his second clone delivering a powerful punch to him. "Naruto, your teacher is a woman, you should at least transform into a handsome man."
Fortunately, the farce only lasted a short while, and Naruto obediently began practicing the Shadow Clone Technique, but he kept Ye Li's words in mind.
Ye Li didn't plan to teach normally either; leading them in cultivation would be much easier. It was definitely not that she had forgotten what Iruka had told her.
After the three afternoon classes, the top three students were announced: Aota Mizuto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke.
It was somewhat unexpected yet also quite reasonable for her.
Qingtian Shuiren was born into a commoner family. His father had long since passed away, and he and his mother depended on each other for survival. He simply wanted 10,000 taels of silver to ease his mother's burden.
Ye Li gave the money to his classmates in front of them, while Haruno Sakura had wanted the doll for a long time, so she could only give it to him tomorrow, since she still had to go buy it.
As for Sasuke wanting to learn a new ninjutsu, Ye Li directly demonstrated Kakashi's ninjutsu 'Chidori' in front of the student, promising to begin teaching him as long as he had enough chakra.
This move completely stunned the students. The new teacher seemed to be very powerful, but Sasuke remained the most composed.
