"This is Yuhi Kurenai, she's a master of illusion." Hongdou moved to sit next to Yuhi Kurenai and introduced her to Guanyue who was sitting opposite her.
"No, I'm just a Chunin." Yuhi Kurenai said modestly.
"Guan Yuelong." Guan Yue nodded slightly.
"Oboro's illusion is pretty good, but it can affect more than a dozen enemies at once." Hongdou added.
"Really?" Xirihong was suddenly surprised and couldn't help but look at Guanyue again.
"I know a little bit." Guan Yue could only say, "I'm good at physical skills."
"…"
"Let's order first." Hongdou asked for the menu again and handed it to Guanyue.
"You guys come, I'm free."
Hongdou didn't hesitate and immediately started marking on the menu with great interest.
Guanyue leaned back in the chair, looking at Xirihong calmly.
Xihi Kurenai was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The two of them were not of the same age group and logically had no common topics. She felt a little uncomfortable sitting together and having a very formal meal.
"Is there something on my face?" Xihihong finally couldn't help asking.
"No." Guanyue said, "I just think your eyes are very beautiful."
"…"
Yuhi Kurenai's expression became a little strange, but Hongdou seemed not to hear her and was fully focused on ordering food.
"Thank you," was all she could say.
This kid has some vision...
She couldn't help but think in her heart, she looked at Guanyue's eyes, just ordinary light brown.
Favorability: 52.
"I've ordered. Hong, is there anything else you want to add?" Hongdou spoke at this time.
Hong glanced at the menu briefly and nodded.
She doesn't eat much greasy food like barbecue. Unlike Hongdou who has no taboos on eating anything, she has always been very conscious and self-disciplined about maintaining her figure.
"I haven't eaten here for a long time, and I ordered a lot at once." Hongdou said with some anticipation.
"If you can't finish it, you can pack it up and take it away." Xi Rihong said.
The dessert that Hongdou ordered earlier was served first. Hongdou immediately picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation. Xihihong also picked up a small piece and ate it quickly.
Guanyue sat there indifferently. Seeing him like this, Hongdou remembered what he said yesterday that he didn't like sweet food.
"Don't you want to try it?" Hongdou asked vaguely while chewing.
"I said yesterday that I don't like sweet things."
"Why? Sweet things taste so good."
"No reason."
Seeing Hongdou staring at him, Guanyue said helplessly, "What are you doing?"
"I think people who hate sweets are weird."
What kind of logic is this?
"A friend of mine used to take me to eat sweets every day, but I gradually got tired of it." Guanyue said.
"You have friends?" Hongdou was surprised.
"…"
"His name is Uchiha Shisui." Guan Yue glanced at her and said.
"You and Shunshin Shisui are friends?"
"Are you on good terms?"
Hongdou and Yuhi Kurenai became interested at the same time after hearing this. Perhaps it was the celebrity effect, the name Uchiha Shisui was very attractive to them.
After all, the three of them are only Chunin so far, while Uchiha Shisui has been a Jonin for a long time.
"I guess so." Guanyue just said.
"Oh right, you and him are from the same period." Hongdou suddenly realized and thought for a while, "It seems that a long time ago, you two were often compared."
"There's no comparison." Guan Yue said calmly, "Shisui is too good."
The barbecued meat was served in portions, and the color was so fresh that it made people's mouths water.
"Don't worry, you're not bad either." Hongdou began to pick up the barbecue and put it on the stove impatiently.
"Among the brats I've ever met, there's no one more powerful than you. Maybe you can even apply for the Jonin exam."
"Let's talk about it later." Guanyue said lightly, and picked up the chopsticks to stir the barbecue.
This tone without any denial made Xihi Kurenai, who was standing by, a little suspicious.
Does this Guan Yuelong have the strength of a Jonin?
Tender slices of meat coated in oil sizzled on the stove. The bright red color of the meat faded away in the high temperature, and wisps of white smoke rose up and floated between the three people.
The taciturn Guanyue did not leave any bad impression on Xirihong, but she still had some resistance to people with such reputation.
"Have you always been a solo team?" she asked casually.
"Oh, right." Hongdou suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Guanyue.
"We two can form a team,"
"Hongdou?" Xihihong exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time cursed herself for being too talkative.
"What?" Hongdou turned to look at her and laughed.
"You...think it over carefully."
"Why are you even considering this?" Hongdou said nonchalantly, and then asked Xiang Guanyue, "Long, what do you think?"
Guanyue watched Xiuriku's reaction calmly. He had suffered more cruel cold stares than this, but Xiuriku at least took Hongdou's face into consideration and refused to reveal some things.
"No," he said.
"Hey, why?" Hongdou was surprised.
Xihihong looked at him silently, feeling somewhat relieved.
"I was transferred to the Anbu." Guanyue said.
"Anbu?" Hongdou was stunned, then helpless.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
At this time, Kurenai Yuhi spoke again: "Anbu is quite good. It is full of elite ninjas. It is suitable for you."
Suitable...
"It just so happens that I have a friend who also works in the Anbu. I can ask her to look after you." Hongdou said again.
"No need to bother." Guanyue wanted to refuse. He was not going to the ordinary Anbu, but the Root. The care that Hongdou mentioned would not be of much help.
"It's a small matter." Hongdou waved her hand.
Xi Yan is just an ordinary Anbu employee, what can she take care of...
Xi Rihong felt helpless.
She was very reluctant to have herself and her friends become too involved with people like Guanyue.
But Hongdou looked as if she saw through Guan Yuelong, as the other party had just saved her life.
But even if Hongdou's eyesight is accurate, what does it matter? If Guanyue doesn't clear himself in the eyes of everyone, how will Hongdou be treated if she gets too close to him?
Xihihong was a little annoyed. She glanced at Hongdou beside her, but saw her eating with relish, which made her even more angry.
This girl is so heartless!
"This barbecue is really good, come and eat it." Hongdou did not forget to remind the two of them, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Xihihong.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat like this?" Guanyue asked a little presumptuously while watching Hongdou eating.
Hongdou, however, proudly raised her rather slender and firm arms: "I was born with this physique, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Oh, by the way, you know that Shunshin Shisui, could you please invite him out for dinner? We'd really like to get to know him." Hongdou said again.
"Why should we invite him?" Guanyue said lightly.
"Aren't you friends?" Hongdou asked.
"yes."
"Since he's a friend, can't you invite him out for dinner?" Hongdou asked curiously.
When Shisui was mentioned, Kurenai's attention was also diverted.
"He and I are good friends, but why did you specially invite him out to have dinner with you?" Guanyue said calmly.
"...What do you mean?" Hongdou was a little confused and didn't realize the meaning of Guanyue's words.
"He said that they are good friends, but we are not." Xihihong said unhappily.
She felt that this brat was somewhat ungrateful. Hongdou didn't care about the rumors and had contact with him, but she was not even a friend to him.
"You don't consider me a friend?!" Hongdou suddenly looked angry.
This silly woman...
Xihi Kurenai covered her face with her hands.
"Did I say that?" Guan Yue said calmly, unmoved by Hong Dou's reaction. "It's your attitude that's misleading. We've only met once, and you're already so familiar with each other?"
"It seems I was just being too sentimental." Hongdou said gritting her teeth.
This mouth is really vicious...
Xi Rihong looked at Guan Yue who was saying embarrassing things calmly, and couldn't help thinking in her heart.
But she didn't mind it. Instead, she thought it would be better if they became strangers from then on.
It seems that there is no need for me to stay any longer...
Guan Yuexin thought about it and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed the changes in the system bar.
Red Bean Favorability -10.
Sunset Kurenai's favorability +1.
He glanced at Xi Rihong out of the corner of his eye and saw a hint of secret joy in her eyes.
This woman...
