"Forehead, why are you here?"
Ino glared at Sakura, her face full of displeasure.
This girl had been lurking for days, and the moment she appeared, she was shamelessly clinging to Mo Chen.
Ino had arrived a step later. The moment she entered, she saw Sakura peeling an apple and feeding it to Mo Chen's mouth with her own hands.
"None of your business! If you can come, why can't I?" Sakura retorted directly.
Ino sneered, "Didn't some people say they wanted to leave the main group before? And now they're shamelessly acting like nothing happened and coming closer. Your thick skin is unimaginably thick!"
"You..." Sakura was instantly embarrassed and angry, but she was powerless to refute.
"Everyone... please don't argue!" Hinata said weakly from the side.
Tenten also rolled her eyes and said, "If you want to argue, go outside. Don't disturb Mo Chen's rest. The doctor said he needs to recuperate properly!"
Hearing this, Ino and Sakura immediately shut up, but they glared at each other, sparks flying between them.
"Here, Mo Chen, let's continue eating apples!" Sakura said in a sweet voice, feeding Mo Chen another piece of apple, with a gentleness he had never seen before.
"Mo... Mo Chen-kun... Do... do you want to drink some water first!" Hinata's face turned red, and she stammered nervously.
After saying just this sentence, she was dazed and stood there blankly.
Even if Mo Chen really wanted to drink water, she was in no state to take care of him.
Tenten, with a look of exasperation, squeezed past her and went up to Mo Chen, massaging his shoulders and arms. She chuckled, "Mo Chen, I learned some massage techniques these past few days. It'll help you recover. Let me give you a massage."
"Mo Chen-kun, I brought a lot of narcissus flowers. Let me arrange them for you!" Ino deliberately pushed Sakura, who had just finished feeding Mo Chen an apple, aside. She squeezed in and put the flowers she brought into a vase, placing it on the bedside table next to Mo Chen.
Sakura, caught off guard, was pushed aside and gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't act out here.
Anko had already slipped away when the young girls entered.
Although she was looking forward to a love triangle unfolding, these young girls had come because she had leaked the information. Anko felt a little guilty.
Moreover, having just gained a 300% buff effect, she was eager to find a place to test it out.
In her current state, she could easily pass the village's Jonin assessment, and even among Jonin, her strength would be considered top-tier.
"Oh, right, right, Mo Chen, I have two movie tickets here. Let's go watch a movie together tomorrow!" Sakura took advantage of Ino's inattention and used her own methods against her, pushing her aside and almost making Ino fall.
"Mo Chen won't go to the movies with you!" Ino directly pushed Sakura away, humming, "It's just movie tickets, not some rare item. Besides, what's the point of squeezing in with a lot of people."
"I'll book an entire theater tomorrow, and it'll just be Mo Chen and me! They can play whatever movie we want to watch!"
"What do you mean? I suggested it first. Mo Chen will go with me first!" Sakura confronted Ino, unconvinced.
Ino sneered, "Why don't you go with your Sasuke-kun? Don't act like you're so familiar with Mo Chen."
"I'm not familiar with Mo Chen, are you more familiar with him?" Sakura shot back.
"At least a little more familiar than you!" Ino glared at her.
"I'm a little more familiar than you!" Sakura glared back.
"You two are both super familiar, alright!" Tenten impatiently squeezed between them, pouting, "Mo Chen, let's ignore them. I'll go with you then. They're too annoying, right!"
"I... I actually want to go too!" Hinata said from behind, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum.
In the Chat Group, through the internet, Hinata gradually became more eloquent, occasionally even flirting.
But in reality, she was still the same as before.
And the thought that they were here to curry favor with Mo Chen made Hinata's entire face burn red.
It was already a difficult feat to maintain her composure and not faint.
Unfortunately, her voice was too soft, and no one noticed.
Even Mo Chen's head was buzzing because of how loudly Sakura and Ino were arguing.
"All of you, shut up!!" Mo Chen roared.
Couldn't he enjoy a little tenderness?
It turned out the saying that three women were equal to a flock of ducks was true!
It was absolutely impossible to get the group system buff effect through such a chaotic scene.
Mo Chen flipped over and jumped out of bed. He had to teach these girls what true competition for affection was!
"Mo Chen! Don't get too excited!" Tenten was startled.
Sakura and Ino instantly turned into quails, tucking their necks and saying, "Sorry!"
"Mo... Mo Chen... You're not well yet, hurry up and lie back down!" Hinata, in her anxiety, spoke more fluently than before.
But Mo Chen ignored their words, just glared, and then jumped off the bed.
"I'm going to the bathroom!"
The women exchanged glances, their minds not quite catching up, but they all felt a little embarrassed.
Ino's eyes, however, lit up, and she stepped forward immediately, saying, "You're still very weak, let me help you!"
Mo Chen stumbled, almost falling flat on his face.
So bold? ... Hmm, not impossible!
But, but, but, Ino only helped Mo Chen to the bathroom door and didn't go in at all, wasting Mo Chen's anticipation.
Sakura, however, was a bit annoyed and glared fiercely at Ino.
Damn it! She beat me to it!
Ino glanced at her triumphantly, held her head high, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what you're plotting now, but don't think I'll forget about what happened last time. You've been kicked out of our little group!"
"You..." Sakura puffed out her chest, instinctively wanting to argue.
But the next moment, she suddenly lowered her eyes and said meekly, "I... I'm sorry, it was all my fault before. I've reflected on it and will never do it again!"
Her sudden change in demeanor completely confused the other three.
In fact, not only Ino, but Tenten and Hinata also felt Sakura had gone too far last time.
So they unanimously decided to give her the cold shoulder and not let her back in easily.
But seeing Sakura like this now, it seemed she genuinely repented?
Ino said irritably, "You're just saying that because you're jealous that Anko-sis suddenly leveled up so much, aren't you? Don't think you can get us to accept you back with just one apology!"
Sakura didn't argue this time, but said with a sincere attitude, "I admit I'm a bit jealous. If just being nice to Mo Chen can easily increase one's strength several times over, I want that too!"
"But one thing is one thing, and my apology to you is also sincere. I don't expect you to forgive me immediately; just watch my future actions!"
Ino pouted, "If you're just using Mo Chen as a tool to improve your strength, I advise you to go back and sleep it off! It'll be a waste of effort. Your group level is still 0, haven't you figured that out yet?"
Though she said that, Ino's attitude had softened considerably.
After all, she had always considered Sakura a good sister in her heart.
The reason the two had reached this point was fundamentally Sakura's fault.
