After finishing the meal, Uchiha Mikoto brought it out from the kitchen.
It must be said that Uchiha Mikoto, being a wise wife and good mother in the original story, cooked a delicious meal at just around 12 years old, with color, aroma, and taste all present.
However, holding the meal that Uchiha Mikoto had served him, Uchiha Yin did not start eating immediately.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good? Why aren't you eating?"
Uchiha Mikoto frowned and asked.
"No, I'm just curious, what's going on with you, Mikoto?" Uchiha Yin asked honestly.
After all, Uchiha Mikoto is his 'relative', and Uchiha Yin didn't want to suspect her motives. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to be on guard against his own 'relatives'.
Moreover, Uchiha Mikoto is different from Uzumaki Kushina. Uzumaki Kushina might be watched by the Anbu, so he needs to be more careful. But Uchiha Mikoto is not like that!
Facing Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Yin naturally wanted to show his true self.
Hearing Uchiha Yin's question, Uchiha Mikoto's face stiffened, then she took a deep breath, as if making a major decision.
She stammered, "It's like this, Yin, I realized that I was too cold and rude to you in the past, so now I sincerely ask for your forgiveness."
After speaking, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly bowed deeply, closing her eyes during the process.
She seemed to have anticipated Uchiha Yin's ridicule and mockery.
Uchiha Mikoto knew very well how bad Uchiha Yin's personality was.
When Uchiha Yin first came to Uchiha Mikoto's home, she didn't dislike him. However, after living together, Uchiha Yin's various bad habits were unbearable for Uchiha Mikoto, which led to her strong dislike of him.
Thinking that she knew Uchiha Yin very well, Uchiha Mikoto was sure that he would definitely mock her, so she was prepared for his harsh words.
It's all because of this system, asking me to apologize to this annoying younger brother.
"Mikoto, you don't need to apologize to me. What happened in the past is over. I was young and didn't understand, so don't worry about it."
However, just as Uchiha Mikoto was complaining and preparing for Uchiha Yin's mockery, she heard him say this generously.
Uchiha Mikoto stood up straight, opened her eyes, and looked at him in disbelief.
Is this really the Uchiha Yin I know?
Uchiha Yin apologizing to her was actually not a big deal, since it was his predecessor's actions, not his own.
Uchiha Yin values family relationships, and he believed that apologizing to get Uchiha Mikoto's forgiveness was worth it.
He's not the kind of person who thinks he's amazing and that the whole world owes him something. He doesn't think apologizing will make him lose anything.
Moreover, since Uchiha Mikoto had already apologized to him, he couldn't say something like, "I'll forgive you because of your sincerity."
Well, if it were Uzumaki Kushina apologizing like this, he might actually say something like that. But she's not; she's his cousin.
Uchiha Yin treats different people and situations differently.
Looking at the 'gentle and elegant' Uchiha Yin, Uchiha Mikoto's surprise was written all over her face.
Are you really Uchiha Yin? Or is someone using a transformation jutsu?
Uchiha Mikoto almost blurted out these words.
However, she held back.
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since Uchiha Mikoto last spoke to Uchiha Yin. Their last conversation seemed to be from a long time ago when they were children.
So, Uchiha Mikoto didn't really know much about Uchiha Yin's current situation.
Maybe Uchiha Yin had already changed his bad habits a long time ago, and I've been misunderstanding him all this time because of my prejudice.
If it were someone with a more fiery personality, like Uzumaki Kushina or Tsunade, they would immediately suspect Uchiha Yin.
But Uchiha Mikoto, being naturally gentle, immediately blamed herself and felt a sense of guilt.
This also shows how bad Uchiha Yin's predecessor was, making the gentle Uchiha Mikoto treat him like a stranger.
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's expression, Uchiha Yin thought she was uncomfortable with his 'change' and smiled.
"People grow up, don't they?"
