"As expected, you are the type I least want to deal with. Not only your strength, but also your personality, you don't get along with me."

The smile on Ayane's face completely disappeared, and she sighed with a helpless tone.

"each other."

Ruri took her palm off Ayane's throat.

Ayane also withdrew her two fingers.

It seemed like this was an evenly matched battle, but Ayane still didn't dare to be careless. This was a person who was growing faster than herself.

If you are complacent because of this achievement, you will definitely be the one asking for trouble in the end.

"Speaking of which..."

Seeing that Liuli had no desire to take action, Ayane breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liuli with strange eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, I just want to ask, is today a special day for you Uchiha?"

As the only wealthy ninja clan in Konoha with the ability to inherit the blood limit, Ayane dare not say that she knows everything about Uchiha, but if it is a special festival, she should know a little bit.

But she didn't remember that today was a special day for Uchiha.

"Why do you ask?"

Ayane heard Liuli ask in reply and pointed to the light blue kimono she was wearing, which was a good size. Although her hair was hanging down, she looked very solemn.

"your clothes……"

"This? What does it have to do with it?"

"Generally speaking, isn't this what you should wear during important festivals or festivals?"

Ayane asked the doubts in her heart.

No matter how you look at it, suddenly wearing a kimono on a day like this feels strangely inconsistent.

"This has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's business. Besides, why should I explain to you?"

Liuli sat next to the pond, frowned, and stopped feeding the fish.

"As expected, I can't get along with you."

Ayane was not surprised at all by Liuli's extremely cold reaction. On the contrary, it was reasonable and she felt that this was what Liuli should really be like.

The way I get along with myself calmly during the task is just because I abide by the responsibility of teamwork.

However, now is the vacation period, and conflicts have broken out.

"What brings you here?"

Liuli asked Ayane the purpose of coming here.

In fact, you don't need to think about it to know that there is absolutely no way that Ayane came here to find herself.

So, the purpose is self-evident.

"I just came here to care about my classmates and keep in touch with them."

"Boring. He's in the laboratory, go find it yourself."

"Can I use my Byakugan?"

Ayane asked with a smile.

"You can try it."

Ayane also became troubled by Liuli's expression that looked like she was guarding against thieves.

Liuli, on the other hand, enjoyed Ayane's helpless look, and felt happy in her heart.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can leave. I've been short of food at home recently, so I'm really sorry that I can't prepare a lunch for you."

Liuli started to drive people away, her tone was not polite at all.

"..."

Ayane scratched her head and smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you leaving yet? I told you I won't prepare lunch for you."

"No, because Shiraishi-kun gave me a very important observation mission before. Let him meet me at his old place at two o'clock in the afternoon. I will hand over the important observation data to him."

"Just give it to me and I'll hand it over to him for you. There's no need to meet outside."

"I put that information somewhere else, and I don't have it with me now. Besides, I have to give it to Shiraishi-kun in person to feel at ease."

Ayane said in an unhurried tone.

Liuli frowned dissatisfied.

"You should know how important my Byakugan is to Shiraishi-kun's research. Then, please pass this sentence to him, please, Liuli."

Ayane smiled slightly, turned around and left without any fuss.

After watching Ayane leave, and until her back completely disappeared from sight, Liuli looked back and let out a calm breath.

There is no need to get angry over such trivial matters.

Yes, this is just a trivial matter, there is no need to take it to heart...

But what is this sudden anger in my heart?

No matter how you look at it, it's all that guy's fault.

--noon.

When Shiraishi and Ruri were dining together, they heard that Ayane had come to see him before and said that she had important observation data to give to him.

"That's it. I did ask her to do this before, but I didn't expect the result to come out so quickly. As expected of me, I really helped a lot."

Shiraishi sighed.

But noticing Liuli's increasingly strange and terrifying eyes, her face seemed to be completely darkened, Shiraishi immediately changed his tone:

"Well, actually this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the research funds or materials you provided me, Liuli. This is the most critical thing. The role of the Byakugan is not as great as imagined."

After listening to Shiraishi's hurried explanation, Liuli's eyes finally softened a little.

Later, Shiraishi also noticed the light blue kimono that Liuli was wearing, which was exactly the one he bought for her yesterday.

As a result, Shiraishi's expression became a little subtle.

When eating, I also avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, pretending to be nonchalant.

"I'm not wearing this just for you."

When Liuli saw Shiraishi noticing the kimono she was wearing, she was afraid that Shiraishi might misunderstand something, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"ah?"

Shiraishi stopped eating and looked over in surprise.

"Don't be too sentimental. It just happens that I like the style and color of this dress."

"..."

"Besides, I'm only going to wear it now. I won't wear it during the New Year. I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations."

"..."

I didn't say anything.

But when I heard that I would not wear this kimono during the New Year, I did feel a sense of emptiness.

Seeing Liuli turning her head slightly at this moment and not looking directly at her, is she... embarrassed?

I thought I would be embarrassed when I personally delivered the kimono to her yesterday, but Ruri was about the same, right?

Thinking about it this way, I felt a lot less irritable last night and this morning.

"Ok, I know."

"It's good to know. I'm full."

Under Shiraishi's strange gaze, Liuli put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked out of the room gracefully with even steps.

After closing the door, Liuli leaned against the door and lowered her head. Her hair could only cover some of her facial expressions, but not all of them.
