"Fool," Temari said angrily, "do you think I've been in vain in the diplomatic department for so long?" Again... I have long seen through your pretending to be relaxed. "
After a moment of silence, Shikamaru finally confessed: "Actually, I have been hesitating and don't know whether to accept this task." "
"Why?"
"Because I'm afraid of ruining our relationship." Shikamaru said frankly, "I care more about your feelings than the orders given by the Hokage." "
Under the starlight, the distance between the two people continues to shorten. Temari
felt the other person's scorching body temperature, and his heart beat involuntarily. She looked up and found Shikamaru's lips close at hand.
"You know what," she whispered, "sometimes men always think too complicated. Some feelings are obviously simple, but they are bound by various concerns. "
Shikamaru smiled: "So you think we should..."
Before he could finish speaking, Temari stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the lips.
At this moment, time seems to stand still.
The night wind blows the sand, the stars shine above the head, and the whole world is
left with only each other's existence.
When their lips parted, their foreheads touched, panting intertwined.
"Is this straightforward enough?" Temari asked in a low voice, his cheeks flushed.
Shikamaru stroked her hair: "It's even better than I imagined." "
"So," Temari bit his lip, "What do you want to do next?" "
"First," Shikamaru gently put his arms around her waist, "let's forget about those annoying political tasks." Tonight, I just want to cherish the person in front of me. "
He lowered his head and kissed her lips again, this time even more fiery and deep. Temari closed his eyes and immersed himself in the beauty of this moment. Years of longing and restraint were finally released on this night.
When the passion subsided a little, Shikamaru hugged Temari and lay on the warm sand. The sky is full of stars and sprinkles a gentle halo, weaving the most beautiful curtain for this embracing couple.
"In the days to come," he promised softly, "shall we face it together?" No matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as you are around, everything will not be too troublesome. "
Temari snuggled into his arms and smiled happily: "This is the Shikamaru I know. Always so reliable." "
As the night deepened, the stars over the desert became brighter and brighter. At this
moment, all the troubles were left behind, and all that remained was pure warmth and sweetness.
The next morning, the central square of Sand Village was very lively.
The villagers were busy setting up temporary tents and decorating colorful flags fluttering in the wind.
The banquet was both a celebration of last night's victory and a formal welcome ceremony for Shikamaru and his party.
"These decorations are very exquisite." Shikamaru stood on the edge of the square, admiring the busy scene of the workers.
"This is made by the best craftsmen in our village." Temari stood beside him, his blonde hair fluttering gently in the morning breeze, "Specially prepared for you." "
In the afternoon, the banquet officially began.
Konoha and Sunagakure's ninjas gathered together, laughing and laughing one after another.
On the central stage, dancers are performing traditional dances with their skirts flying and bells jingling.
"Master Shikamaru, please try this." A maid came with a tray with carefully prepared foods, "This is Sunagakure's specialty sea buckthorn juice and lamb skewers." "
Shikamaru took a bite and praised: "It tastes really good." "
Not far away, Gaara was discussing something with several elders. Seeing this scene, he waved for Shikamaru to come over.
"Last night's action was very successful," Gaara to get straight to the point, "I didn't expect you to cooperate so tacitly." "
"It's all about doing their own thing." Shikamaru said modestly.
At this time, Temari came over with two drinks: "Gaara, what are you talking about?"
"
"While discussing strengthening cooperation between the two villages," Gaara took the drink handed by Temari, "especially in an emergency situation like last night." "
"Speaking of this," Shikamaru looked around and lowered his voice, "I think we can establish a joint early warning system." Using the wind-type chakra that Sunagakure is good at, combined with Konoha's perceptual ninjutsu..."
"This proposal is very good," Gaara nodded, "The specific implementation details will
be discussed in detail between you and my sister." "
When Temari heard this, his pretty face turned slightly red: "Gaara, this kind of thing is
still..."
"What does it matter," Gaara said with a smile, "Aren't you having a good time?" Just take this opportunity to communicate more. "
The banquet lasted until the evening, and the bonfire burned brightly. The villagers of
Sand danced a traditional desert dance around the fire, with passionate drums and enthusiasm.
Shikamaru sat aside, watching the cheerful spinning Temari in the crowd holding the
wine glass, his cheeks flushed with the effects of alcohol. The heat of summer combined with the urging of alcohol made her feel a little unbearable.
"It's so hot..." she muttered, unbuttoning her coat.
