Stop Scolding Me, It's Just a Qidian Event Bonus Chapter; I'm Posting It Again. Too Many Monthly Tickets-Tomorrow I'll Make Up Another Free Bonus Chapter

In late autumn, the sky suddenly darkens, as if it has been stained with ink.

Perhaps because of the torrential rain that lasted all day yesterday, the outdoor temperature in Konohagakure was a bit low.

"You have a fever?" Naruto leaned forward slightly, looking at Ino sitting at the counter on the first floor of the flower shop.

The girl tilted her head back, her eyes unconsciously squinting slightly.

Her slightly flushed cheeks, as if she were drunk, and her weak, tearful eyes made her look rather pitiful.

Three minutes ago, Naruto passed by the flower shop and on a whim decided to say hello to Ino. He happened to catch a glimpse of Ino leaning on the counter.

"You look a little unwell." Naruto touched her head; it was a little hot, and even Ino's breath, which was hitting his hand, was a little damp and hot.

"I'm fine." Ino tilted her head back, her voice unusually weak.

Upon closer inspection, Naruto noticed that Ino's entire face was almost completely flushed an unnatural red. Her voice was weak and feeble, and her eyes were so tired they were about to close.

It would be strange if he were alright looking like this. Naruto frowned slightly.

"Shall we close the shop first? I'll take you back to your room to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could feel Ino's cat-like body freeze slightly. Even her perfectly straight shoulders and the pale neck covered by her golden hair stiffened.

"It's not like we've never been inside before, what's there to be shy about?" Naruto muttered.

Normally, Ino would definitely have spoken up and said something in rebuttal. But now, she seemed to have no energy left.

They were taken back to their room.

"I want some water." Ino's breathing was a little unsteady, and her face seemed even redder. She made a soft, panting plea. Naruto withdrew his foot from the door and turned to look at the girl on the sofa, who was squinting and breathing heavily.

"Okay, sure."

The girl's breath was hot, and Naruto sensed Ino's disordered breathing as he fed her water. Her small mouth unconsciously opened slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth. The usually aloof girl was unusually well-behaved when she was sick.

She had long eyelashes, eyebrows like distant mountains, and a flawless, fair face. A faint fragrance lingered on her, growing stronger as her body temperature rose.

"Do you have any fever-reducing medication at home?" he asked.

Do fever-reducing patches count?

"Where should I put it?"

Looking around, Ino's room was about the same size as his own. Perhaps because it was a girl's room, both the bed and the desk were exceptionally tidy.

"In that cabinet."

Following Ino's directions, he found the fever-reducing patch under the TV cabinet in front of the sofa. The packaging featured a cute girl holding a thermometer.

After tearing open the packaging, Naruto naturally put a fever-reducing patch on Ino's forehead.

"Thanks."

Ino's chest rose and fell slightly, like waves crashing on the beach. Naruto wondered if it was just his imagination, but Ino's face seemed even redder after the fever patch was applied.

That faint blush even spread from her neck to her ears, with a few strands of golden hair falling and covering it.

"You're as well-behaved as a kitten now."

"You bastard!" Ino's voice trembled slightly.

"I was just saying it offhand. You should get some rest." Naruto packed up and left.

About two days later, Ino had fully recovered from her illness.

Naruto encountered Ino in the hallway in front of the apartment building. A beautiful figure stood there. Ino was wearing a skirt that went past her knees, as if she had been waiting for him on purpose; the pleats of the skirt were neatly arranged.

With her fair cheeks and graceful jawline leading to her swan-like neck, the girl, though merely standing in the twilight, seemed like an angel stepping into a mural.

Ino stood gracefully in the stairwell, her long golden hair tied back, and turned slightly to look at Naruto, who was standing there in a daze.

Naruto noticed that Ino was carrying a food container wrapped in a thick layer of insulation.

As he reached the door, Ino handed him the box. The round box seemed to contain fried tempura; the golden-brown crust could be seen through the glass.

"Actually, you don't have to be so polite." Naruto sniffed and took out his key to open the door. "Um, I like Maid Outfit."

"Go to hell, you pervert!" Ino clenched her two small hands together and frowned.

"Thank you for the compliment." Naruto walked straight in, then casually turned around and gestured to her, "Come in and sit for a while."

Looking at the wide-open door, Ino hesitated for a moment, but still went inside.

The doors and windows in the living room were all open for ventilation, Naruto went straight into the kitchen to get a glass of water, which was his habit.

A pot of water was bubbling away on the coffee table. Ino stood in the living room, looking around nervously. She had secretly decided before that she would never come again.

The living room was simple, with a plain-colored rug covered in long-pile fibers. The solid wood table had natural stripes, and a chubby orange dog lay on the gray sofa, while Nine-Tails Fox was sleeping on the sofa, hugging a wine bottle.

A faint smell of alcohol filled the air, not overpowering.

The clanging and banging sounds came from the kitchen. Naruto seemed to have no intention of paying attention to Ino after entering the room, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything around her made her feel relaxed, and she even felt a faint sense of warmth, like being at home. After taking a few steps, Ino sat up straight on the sofa.

After pursing her lips and waiting for two seconds, she glanced at the Fox-dog sleeping soundly beside her, completely unsuspecting. Suddenly, Ino seemed to realize something, and her tense body relaxed abruptly.

The noise from the kitchen stopped, and a minute later, Naruto came out carrying two dishes of food. The food was rather simple and wasn't served on the dining table; instead, it was placed on the coffee table after a heat-insulating sheet was laid on top.

"Eat something first, then drink this."

As Naruto walked and talked, he pulled out a medicine box from under the living room cabinet, took out a packet of long, pink powder medicine labeled "Dragon Horn Powder".

This is a quick-acting cough-relieving powder. Just tilt your head back and drink it, and the itchy feeling in your throat will disappear quickly, leaving only a cool and refreshing sensation.

"Oh, oh." Ino was at a loss for words, so she could only focus her attention on the cooked porridge.

Naruto waited until Ino finished drinking before getting up to clean up, removing the insulation layer, and taking the bowls into the kitchen.

When she came out, Ino was still sitting on the sofa.

"If you really want to thank me, you can wear those black socks next time, yes, the really long ones," he said, leaning against the kitchen door.

"I won't wear it!" Ino was immediately exasperated. This person was always like this, able to make people angry with just a few words. She asked angrily, "Were you trying to take advantage of me yesterday?"

"Yes."

Ino: "."

Things weren't going quite right; he wasn't playing by the rules. Ino blushed for a moment, stammering for a while, unsure what to say.

Wearing black stockings is absolutely out of the question! Wouldn't that be tacitly admitting to that? It's just out of gratitude that I can only let him touch my feet once, since he's a pervert anyway.

Naruto was a little confused when he saw the foot being stretched out in front of him.

What are you doing?

Ino didn't say anything, but turned away with a blush on her face.

Naruto reached out and touched Ino for a while, but seeing that Ino didn't react, he moved his hand towards her thigh. Ino was immediately startled and reflexively kicked him.

"Abnormal!"

With a bang, Ino fled as if she were running away.

In the living room, the two silently ate their porridge.

I never expected this extra chapter to be inserted into the main story. Please stop criticizing me. I've already flopped so badly; I can't make easy money without the extra chapter.

I won't participate in the chicken neck event at Qidian next time; I was unexpectedly ripped off and I'm still reeling.
