Chapter 315 An Ruo: It's over. It seems the misunderstanding is a bit big. [Long chapter]

Although Uchiha Haiming was a little surprised, she didn't take the panic on An Ruo's face too seriously - after all, no matter who it is, they would probably have this expression after suddenly knowing that another person has decided to pursue the tailed beast - so she just went on and said -

"Sure enough, you also think it's outrageous, right? This is simply ridiculous."

"Yeah, that's ridiculous..." An Ruo still looked a little frightened, but soon showed an inexplicable panic, "When you said that Ling and I were very similar, this shouldn't have been included, right?! I swear I am absolutely, absolutely, absolutely different from him in this aspect!"

Uchiha Haiming laughed, but he couldn't help looking at An Ruo who was still in shock with a puzzled look, "How could it be, I'm talking about the way you two handle things, how could you have the same opinion on such a private matter? But... he should have only told us about this matter, how did An Ruo know?"

"No, I should say Ling didn't hide anything at all..." An Ruo recalled what Ling had said to him at the beginning, and couldn't help but lower his head and pinch his forehead, "I'm really confused now - this is too unbelievable."

"It should be. To be honest, I am also surprised when I think about it occasionally now-" Uchiha Haiming held his face and sighed softly, "When I first met him, he didn't show such a perverted tendency, right?"

An Ruo was shaking as she held the gifts of comfort, and even began to doubt whether Ling's original purpose in inviting her was pure.

While the two were talking, Uchiha Hiro finished his examination and used a sharpened charcoal pencil to write something on the medical record. "The wound healed well, no signs of infection. As usual, avoid alcohol and excessive exercise until it heals completely. Observe for another day and you will be discharged tomorrow."

Ling nodded as he arranged his clothes, "Can you recover before the end of the year?"

"Probably." Uchiha Hiroshi paused for a moment and curled his lips, "After all, your self-recovery ability is very strong now, so even if the medical ninjutsu cannot take effect, the recovery speed will still be faster than that of many tribesmen - to be honest, you Guys are so lucky sometimes that it makes people jealous.”

"Well - indeed, sometimes I feel that I am too lucky."

"…If you want to show off, get out of here with your bed today."

"I swear I didn't - I mean it from the bottom of my heart." Ling said sternly, and then turned to the door before Uchiha Hong could explode further, "Please come in, you guys keep standing at the door and watching, which always makes me feel like I'm receiving guests."

"Tsk, how blind must I be to choose you as the receptionist?" Uchiha Haiming pushed the wheelchair with the handle and took himself and An Ruo into the house. "Don't say such disgusting things in the future - and you, if this is over, leave quickly and take care of the part you are responsible for. You are dragging your feet like a coward."

"Do you think everyone is like you, a tomboy?" Uchiha Hong paused unnaturally when he saw Uchiha Haiming blocking the door with a side step. But he still finished his words stubbornly, "Humph, I'm afraid you will never be able to do my delicate work in your lifetime - let's go."

Instead, he chose to climb out of the window holding the medical record.

An Ruo didn't understand, so she turned around and asked, "Um... Hong, what's this?"

"Don't worry about him, he's mentally ill." Uchiha Haiming snorted, pushed An Ruo to one side of the bed, and then walked to the other side to find a chair to sit down, and picked up an apple to peel it. "I've already compiled the list of things you asked me to do. Do you want to pick it up yourself later or should I bring it to you?"

"I'll get it—but I'll have to wait until I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll be at home tomorrow practicing ninjutsu and waiting for you to come over - to eat."

Ling was holding another peeled apple in astonishment, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll poison you?" Uchiha Haiming snorted in dissatisfaction, "Or do you simply not want to eat anything that has passed through my hands?"

Ling was silent for a moment, but did not argue. He just picked up the apple, took a bite, and changed the subject. "To be honest, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you two to come to visit me together. Could it be that I can get some good news this year?"

An Ruo, who had just put away the gifts she brought, glanced at Uchiha Haiming subconsciously upon hearing this, but quickly looked away and chuckled, "Don't tease me... To be honest, it was Ling who scared me."

"Huh?" Ling tilted his head slightly, "Except for today, I haven't done anything big lately, right?"

"How come it's not a big deal..." An Ruo sighed, "Just now, I asked Hai Ming about your criteria for choosing a partner - isn't that a bit too unorthodox?"

"Hmm... But in this kind of situation, isn't it true that as long as you like someone, have the ability to protect him/her, and can provide him/her with a stable life, you can do whatever you want?" Ling took a bite of the apple. "Although according to the current situation, I am the one being protected - and it is even very likely that I will always be the one being protected in the future."

An Ruo was stunned, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but be curious, "So Ling already has a lover?"

"Yes," Ling's smile spread a little, overflowing with gentleness and helplessness, "But unfortunately, the other party doesn't seem to have noticed my feelings - obviously we have been inseparable for a long time."

Accompany each other day and night?

inseparable?

[It is indeed a situation where emotions can easily arise.] An Ruo nodded thoughtfully, [But——Uchiha people are always very delicate in their emotions. How could you not notice it when the two of you are so close?

This can only mean that the other party did not think about this from the beginning, and may even take Ling's love for granted, considering the clan and gender situation...】

An Ruo looked at Ling with a look of increasing fear——[Could it be that Ling attacked his family? ! Was it his father or his brother? ! No, that’s not right, if he was protected… he would be in love with his father? ! ! This, this, this——]

Uchiha Haiming watched An Ruo's expression change from probing to thoughtful, then from thoughtful to shocked, and finally fixed on horror. He couldn't help but blink, with a little pity in his eyes——

[Alas - people who have been following etiquette since childhood should find it harder to accept this than us, right? Why should a good person suffer this? As expected, Uchiha Ling, you are not a good person. Everything you do will bring disaster to a few people. ]

Uchiha Haiming was right. An Ruo, who had always obeyed etiquette and devoted herself to public service since childhood, really could not understand to what extent a person's emotions had to be twisted to produce such a father-loving plot [which actually did not exist].

[Let’s not talk about whether it’s right or wrong to fall in love with someone of the same sex. When this love, which is likely to include sexual desire, is directed toward family members who are related by blood, this kind of emotion is absolutely distorted. I have to remind him of this.]

An Ruo's face was full of seriousness. [But after these days of getting to know each other, I know that Uchiha is too sensitive about emotional issues... Well, can you be a little more tactful? ]

"If she can attract Ling, she must be very good, right?" An Ruo chose her words carefully, "Can I know more about her?"

"Of course, there's nothing to hide." Ling chuckled, "What do you want to ask?"

[This feeling of knowing everything about the other person... there is a serious problem.] An Ruo's expression became more solemn, "Well - for example, what exactly attracts you to the other person?"

"What attracted me..." Ling stretched out his voice for a moment and then laughed, "If you ask me to explain it, I really can't say it. I only know that from the big things about the clan to the small things about daily practice, she accepted everything about me without reservation before I was aware of it, just because I showed her a little trust.

After I realized it, I could feel emotions that I had never felt before every time I was with her. I don't know how to describe that feeling. I only know how moved I was by what she did and how much I wanted to keep her by my side.

So no matter if others say that I want to take advantage of her or pretend to cherish her, let them say whatever they want. I only know that she makes me want to explore, get closer to her, and leave a place for me in her heart - I can even assert that there will probably be no one else in this world who can fascinate me like she does. "

"But no matter what, this will be an action that will be criticized by many people. After all, she is yours—" An Ru was stunned, quite surprised, "Wait...her?"

"Of course, her." Ling nodded, looking calm, "Doesn't An Ruo already know who I love?"

"No, wait a minute, my mind is a little confused..."

An Ruo silently lowered her head and tapped the armrest of the wheelchair——[It’s over, the misunderstanding seems to be a bit too big. 】
