"Okay, I'll wait for you outside." He stood up and tidied up his clothes, walked to the door and turned around and added, "Don't be too stubborn, let me know if you feel uncomfortable." "
"Long-winded." She glanced at him angrily, but there was a bit of sweetness in her tone.
Shikamaru closed the door and waited against the wall in the hallway.
Listening to the rustling sound coming from the room, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.
Even through the wall, he can imagine Temari clumsily putting on his clothes.
About a quarter of an hour later, the neatly dressed Temari came out. Although it looks the same as usual, there is still something strange in her slightly stiff steps.
"Let's go." She said, trying to pretend to be indifferent.
"Do you need support?" Shikamaru stretched out his arm and teased.
"No need!" She pushed him away and stepped forward, but soon stumbled.
Shikamaru put his arms around her waist in time: "I know."
"Shut up..." She buried her head in his shoulder, her voice muffled, "It's all your fault."
"Then after seeing your brother later, I will help you 'treat' it well?"
"You dare!" Temari raised his head and glared at him viciously, but then softened again, "Let's concentrate on dealing with Gaara first." It would be bad if he found something."
"Don't worry, I know the measure." Shikamaru restrained his frivolous expression and returned to his usual posture, "Let's go, Kazekage-sama should be in a hurry." "
The two walked side by side to Kazekage's office, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact, Shikamaru's mind was still reminiscing about the passion of last night.
Temari was secretly praying, hoping that her brother would not notice anything unusual.
On the way to Kazekage's office, Temari deliberately slowed down his pace, trying to maintain his normal situation. Shikamaru watched her silently, casting concerned glances from time to time.
"Sister!" A familiar voice came, and when I looked up, it was Gaara and Kankuro standing in front of the office building.
Temari barely squeezed out a smile, but when she bent down to say hello, she pulled the soreness in her body, which made her frown.
"Sister, are you okay?" Gaara keenly noticed her abnormality.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was a little tired from training yesterday." She prevaricated
casually, but accidentally met Shikamaru's narrow gaze.
"Since you are here to find Lord Kazekage, let's go in directly." Kanjiu Lang suggested.
The group walked into the office building and came to the office on the top floor. The
spacious space is simple but solemn, and outside the window is the scenery of the bustling Shayin Village.
Arriving at the door of Kazekage's office, Temari took a deep breath and tidied up his appearance.
Despite trying his best to hide it, the remaining flush and slightly tired look on his face were still difficult to completely eliminate.
"Sister," a familiar voice came from inside the door, "come in." "
"It's so sharp..." Shikamaru sighed in a low voice.
When I opened the door, I saw Gaara sitting behind the desk flipping through the documents. Seeing the two come in, he put down the scroll and his eyes stayed on his sister's
face for a moment.
"You guys last night..." Gaara stopped halfway through his words, obviously aware of his gaffe.
"Nothing special." Temari barely squeezed out a smile, trying to look as calm as usual,
"Just discussed some things with Shikamaru about the alliance between the two countries."
Gaara's scrutinizing gaze wandered back and forth between the two. He noticed a slight unnaturalness in his sister's walking, as well as a suspicious red mark looming around her neckline.
These details cannot escape his shadowy eyes.
"I see," he said calmly, "so what is the theme of today's meeting?" "
"On the adjustment of border trade agreements." Shikamaru took over the topic, "Recently, some caravans have reported that the customs clearance procedures are too cumbersome and hope to simplify the process. "
The conversation turned to official business, but Gaara keenly observed the two. Whe
never Shikamaru approached, he could see his sister's slightly red ear tips and unconsciously dodging his gaze.
Just as Shikamaru and Gaara were discussing border affairs, a sand hidden ninja hurriedly entered the room.
"Kazekage-sama," the ninja handed Shikamaru a secret letter, "Konoha sent an urgen letter, saying that it was an important matter about the talks, and asked Shikamaru to return as soon as possible." "
"Five village talks?" Gaara raised her eyebrows, "What's the movement over there in Yunyin Village?"
Shikamaru quickly flipped through the letter, his brows gradually tightened. Yunyin Village suddenly proposed to hold a high-level meeting, and there must be something strange in this. Especially in the current situation, Raikage's proposal is particularly abrupt.
"It seems that you are going back to Konoha early," Shikamaru put away the letter, "Gaara, the rest may have to be discussed another day." "
"No problem," Gaara nodded, his eyes inadvertently swept over Temari, who was standing in the corner observing silently, "Just in time to let my sister accompany you back as a Shayin diplomat."
