"Hi, Aoi-kun, what are you talking about?"
Tsunade suddenly jumped out from who-knows-where, startling Aoi, who was thinking about how to scam Tsunade for money.
"N-nothing, what's up? I definitely wasn't thinking about you."
Aoi waved his hands repeatedly, explaining, his face flushing red. He was at least two lifetimes old, yet he was focused on scamming a little girl for money. It was too embarrassing...
Explaining is covering up, and covering up is the truth!
Tsunade couldn't help but widen her eyes, thinking to herself, "Could it be that Aoi-kun was thinking about me early in the morning?"
Her reasoning was perfect. Aoi was indeed full of thoughts about Tsunade. It was just that the poor Tsunade didn't know that Aoi was thinking about her only for her money!
But no matter what, Tsunade had already decided in her heart.
This guy Aoi definitely liked her!
But what did she feel about Aoi? He was indeed an interesting person. He was a commoner, yet he wasn't afraid of the children of those major clans at all. He also taught her how to play the very interesting dice game, and he was also very strong, subduing the Hyūga family's Hyūga Masaru in one move.
As for his looks...
Tsunade couldn't help but secretly look at Aoi.
At dawn, the first ray of pale golden sunlight happened to fall, scattering on Aoi's handsome profile, making him look especially dazzling. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and Aoi's light blue eyes, as deep as the sea, looked into the distance, revealing a hint of mature charm that didn't match his age.
His looks were pretty good!
Tsunade nodded coyly, but she was soon attracted by Aoi's tightly furrowed brows.
What was he thinking about? Was he thinking about her? No, that expression of his must mean he was thinking about something important! That's right, a man like him must be thinking about profound matters. The meaning of a ninja's existence, or the future relationship between the five great nations, or maybe the direction of this war?
It had to be said that Tsunade had completely fallen in love...
Because Aoi wasn't thinking about the meaning of a ninja's existence at all. He cared even less about the future relationship between the five great nations.
As for the direction of the war, as long as the situation hadn't deteriorated to the point where two-year-old infants needed to take the field, Aoi didn't care at all.
"Money, where am I going to get money?"
Aoi turned to look at Tsunade, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He should just forget it. It would be too much to keep preying on the same person.
"Aoi-kun is peeking at me..."
Tsunade's face turned even redder.
Seeing this, Aoi couldn't help but reach out, stroking Tsunade's forehead. "Tsunade, are you okay? Do you have a fever?"
Tsunade was the only rich kid Aoi knew. If Tsunade also fell ill, he wouldn't even have a last resort...
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Tsunade clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her heart overjoyed. "Aoi-kun is so gentle, he really cares about me?"
The misunderstanding was getting deeper...
But this scene happened to be seen by a classmate passing by.
"Look, isn't that Tsunade-hime and Aoi?" "They're so close!" "No wonder Aoi was able to get into the school. So he's a gigolo."
The little brats' discussions weren't concealed at all. Aoi didn't care much, but he cursed secretly in his heart. "Little brats of a few years old, so precocious. The world is going to hell, people's hearts are no longer as they used to be!"
But Tsunade clenched her fists, her fierce gaze almost capable of eating people. If those little brats hadn't run away in time, Tsunade might have created a murderous dojutsu.
"Aoi-kun, don't worry about it. I know you're not a gigolo."
Tsunade grabbed Aoi's hands worriedly, comforting him. "I believe in you!"
Learning to protect a man's fragile self-esteem was how to be a good wife. Tsunade clearly remembered her mother saying that.
"Huh?"
Aoi was stunned. Was that the key issue? Also, was Tsunade usually this gentle?
Although he felt a slight strangeness, Aoi quickly gave himself a perfect explanation. It was also said in the manga that Tsunade originally had a very gentle personality, but she only acted tough after Dan died...
"Yeah, that must be it."
Aoi looked at Tsunade encouragingly, nodding secretly. "Girl, you'll become tough again after your man dies!"
Go for it, Tsunade!
"He felt my love!"
Tsunade and Aoi's gazes met in the air, reaching a consensus in a conversation that was like talking to a brick wall!
