Cherreads

Chapter 6 - Because I Like It

On the grass slope, there were two small figures resting on the setting sun.

  The dark red sunlight sprinkled on the two of them, as if they were coated with a layer of gold, so beautiful.

  Especially the girl in a green robe with a black collar and a waist and a ponytail, she looks even more ethereal.

  It would be better if she didn't hiccup.

  With his legs crossed and a blade of grass in his mouth, Chishima Chiba glanced sideways at Tsunade who was looking up at the sky.

  So beautiful!

  "belch..."

  Tsunade burped again, her little face turned red instantly, and her long eyelashes trembled unnaturally.

  "Why are you staring at me..."

  Tsunade's tone was a little weak, probably because she felt guilty about her meal, so she lost her usual stubbornness and became gentle and kind.

  Chishima Chiba was a little uncomfortable, but still smiled gently, "You are the most beautiful like this."

  It was a compliment, but Tsunade didn't seem to be impressed, because she had become so accustomed to hearing this phrase since she was a child.

  But the next moment, Chishima Chiba changed the subject, and Tsunade's heart was stirred.

  "But it's not without its drawbacks."

  Chishima Chiba could find dozens of faults in Tsunade, but it would be unwise to point them out at this time.

  Girls like to hear compliments from others. Although they won't be impressed if you tell them so, they will definitely get angry if you find any fault with them.

  So, girls are a very magical creature. You have to praise them, but you can't praise them all the time, otherwise they will easily become lost in the crowd and become bootlickers.

  But if you point out to them a non-problem at the right time, they will look at you with new eyes and have a different kind of favorable impression of you.

  "Without the sunset as your backdrop, you would be a little less beautiful."

  What kind of shortcoming is this?

  Tsunade was angrily and wanted to find a reason to refute, but after meeting Chishima Chiba's serious eyes, she didn't know what to say.

  Because Chishima and Chiba are right, against the backdrop of the sunset, all beauty will be elevated.

  "But don't worry." Qiandao Qianye comforted, "If there is no sunset, there is still sunrise. If there is no sunrise, there is still scorching sun. There are three kinds of sunshine in a day, and you have three kinds of beauty."

  "So what?" Tsunade tilted her head, her bright brown eyes staring at Chishima Chiba without blinking.

  "So, you have to smile more."

  "What does laughter have to do with the rising sun, the blazing sun, and the setting sun?"

  "Because there is sunshine in your smile, which belongs to the fourth kind of beauty and is more beautiful than the three kinds of sunshine on the outside."

  "…"

  Tsunade turned her head away, her heart beating faster for some reason.

  After a while, Tsunade turned her head again and looked at Chishima Chiba with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

  "Tell me, how many girls have you said this to?"

  "Many."

  Chishima Chiba counted on his fingers very seriously, "Tsunade in the morning, Tsunade at noon, Tsunade in the sunset, and Tsunade who burped after eating too much..."

  "ah!"

  Tsunade raised her fist and hit Chishima Chiba, but it was so light and powerful that there was no strength in it.

  The next second, Tsunade was a little dazed.

  She suddenly felt that she was like a different person when she was with Chishima Chiba. The impatience and bad temper in her heart seemed to be invisible, and even if she wanted to take the initiative to flare up, it would disappear immediately.

  "You are really good at talking..."

  After a long while, Tsunade managed to utter these words and turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

  "This is not a question of speaking or not." Chishima Chiba shook his head and did not look at Tsunade again. Instead, he looked up at the sky like her.

  "What you see with your eyes can be deceiving. Only by feeling with your heart can you discover something different."

  "For example, when I look at you, I don't use my eyes, so...what I say touches your heart."

  "With all your heart?" Tsunade responded blankly.

  "Of course, I can teach you if you want to try."

  "I won't learn." Tsunade responded, her face flushed, she didn't know what she was thinking, "I promised, but I don't know how many words you will say to me later."

  Tsunade pouted slightly. She wanted to hear Chishima Chiba continue to say nice things, but she was also afraid that she would become addicted, so she had to cut the Gordian knot.  

  "Don't say these things anymore. They don't sound real and make you look like a liar."

  I am not a liar, I am a heart thief and an arsonist.

  Qiandao Qianye added in his mind, nodded and responded, "I won't say it anymore..."

  "snort!"

  Tsunade turned her head away proudly, looking a little unhappy, but she was actually happy in her heart.

  Tsundere girls, aren't they all like this?

  Chishima Chiba knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly until Tsunade was about to lose her patience before he spoke again.

  "Tsunade, do you see that cloud in the sky?"

  "I saw it, what's wrong?"

  "If I accomplish my dream, I will write your name on the cloud for all of Konoha to see."

  "Why did you write my name?" Tsunade blinked, looking a little dazed.

  "Because I am the man who is going to become Hokage!"

  Chishima Chiba's answer caused Tsunade to look sideways frequently, making her seem even more confused, "Even if you become the Hokage, why did you write my name on the cloud?"

  "Because I am the Hokage, I can write whoever's name on the cloud. My subordinate Tsunade, do you have any objection?"

  Chishima Chiba's sudden nonsense made Tsunade burst out laughing.

  "Haha, Chiba, you are so boring. Is this what you become Hokage? Don't you consider other things, such as missions, relations between countries, village affairs, etc."

  "But will what you said affect me writing your name on the cloud after I become Hokage?"

  "Uh... it doesn't matter." Tsunade shook her dark golden ponytail irritably, "But it comes back to the same place. Why did you write my name on the cloud?"

  "I like it, isn't it?"

  In an instant, Tsunade's face turned red again. She looked at Chishima Chiba who was lying on the side, then glanced at the clouds in the sky, and her heart was filled with waves again.

  "fraud..."

  Tsunade pushed Chishima Chiba beside her and said, "You just promised me that you would stop saying nice things, but you keep beating around the bush."

  "I couldn't speak just now, but I think I can speak now, so I'll say it."

  As he spoke, Chishima Chiba also imitated Tsunade and gave her a gentle push.

  How can we improve our relationship and get rewards from the dog system if we just talk but

  don't do anything? Chishima Chiba's hands were very well behaved, just a simple push and nothing else.

  It's a little bit unfair, but it's safe and the desire to survive is maximized.

  "You pushed me?"

  "Hey, I've never heard of such a request in my life." Chishima Chiba pushed Tsunade again.

  "Damn it!" Tsunade fired back.

  "Don't take pictures of my face!" Chishima Chiba was anxious.

  "You are not allowed to tickle me!" Tsunade smiled but kept a straight face, with a very strange expression.

  "Ah! My clogs..."

  While making a fuss, Tsunade kicked off her wooden clogs, which rolled down the grass slope.

  Looking at Tsunade's tender little feet shaking, Chishima Chiba was a little dazed for a moment and did not immediately help Tsunade pick up her shoes.

  In the blink of an eye, Tsunade's wooden clogs rolled down the grass slope and disappeared.

  "Did you see where it fell?" Tsunade straightened up and asked Chishima Chiba.

  "Just now I was only looking at your feet... No, I was only looking at the other clog on your foot and didn't pay attention."

  "Come with me and look for it. This place is so far from the village. If I walk back without shoes, my feet will be worn out..."

  Chishima Chiba also realized the seriousness of the problem. All the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared and he slid down the grass slope.

  At the same time, Tsunade also slid down the grass slope in the same way as Chishima Chiba, and bent down side by side with Chishima Chiba to search carefully in the grass.

  But, it was getting dark...
