"My dear, you are back."
Lin's voice was more mature and had more of an adult flavor. Obito seemed to have only experienced this feeling in Fugaku Uchiha's wife.
Then Lin stretched out her hand to change Obito's shoes. She stood up again, took off Hokage's hat and cloak from Obito's body, and put on a pair of slim-fitting home clothes for him.
Obito stared blankly at the gentle Lin as she helped him change shoes and clothes. Her body seemed to be out of the control of her brain, and she just followed Lin's movements in confusion.
"What's wrong, dear? Why are you so dumbfounded?" Lin asked strangely when she saw Obito still standing there dumbfounded after changing clothes.
"Are you too tired from today's work, or is something happening in the village?"
As Lin said this, she stretched out her hand and hugged Obito's arm. She pulled him into the house and took him to the bathroom. Only then did Obito react and washed his hands numbly, and then followed Lin to the dining table.
The food on the dining table is extremely rich, each dish exudes a touch of warmth, and the ingredients are quite expensive.
Appetizers include grilled snapper, salt-steamed abalone, and grilled fragrant chestnuts.
The cold and hot dishes are smoked salmon and grilled steak respectively, with slightly less crab and fried chicken as embellishments.
The main dish is red ginger rice sprinkled with chopped sea bream, chopped shiitake mushrooms, and eggs, and the hot soup is filled with lobster and matsutake mushrooms.
The melon was dug into small balls and neatly placed on the plate together with the strawberries with the leaves removed. Next to it was a small bottle of sake that had been opened.
Lin elegantly placed Obito's napkin, and then calmly sat down in her seat.
"Still thinking about things?"
Looking at Obito who said nothing, Lin followed his line of sight and looked over there. There was a wall with many photos hanging on it.
The biggest one was taken when the two of them got married. At that time, Obito had not yet become Hokage. He was wearing a crisp suit, while Lin was wearing a white gauze, holding his arm and standing beside him with a smile.
Obito How many times have I been lying in bed quietly at night, fantasizing about the scene when I and Lin got married, and fantasizing about their life after marriage.
"Okay, stop looking, let's eat quickly." Lin stretched out her hand and turned Obito's head straight. Only then did he really see what Lin would look like when she grew up.
Every look and every smile was so touching. She didn't need to put on a wedding dress or put on makeup. She just smiled and Obito felt like her heart was melting.
Lin looked at Obito's appearance, stretched out the chopsticks in her hand, and hit him on the head.
"You idiot, I haven't seen enough after watching it for so many years!" Lin said as she picked up a piece of beef and put it in front of Obito's mouth.
"Ah..." She opened her small mouth slightly, looked at Obito and she made the same action, then smiled and put the beef into Obito's mouth.
The aroma of beef fat suddenly filled Obito's mouth. He had never eaten such delicious beef, but now he had no time to taste it, because Lin's chopsticks did not stop. She picked up another piece of asparagus and told him that it must be a combination of meat and vegetables to be healthier.
Sweet, Obito seems to be the only one who can feel this taste now.
And her body seemed to become warm and light, and she kept following Lin's chopsticks, wiping away the food in front of her one bite at a time.
Lin took away all the empty bowls and started washing them in the kitchen, while he just sat on the chair blankly, recalling the feeling just now, carefully sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
"Okay, why are you still sitting here? You have finished your work in the village during the day, and you still have family matters to deal with in the evening."
Lin finished washing the dishes, took off her apron, took Obito's arm, led him to stand up, opened a dark red wooden door, and came to the study room in the house.
This place is exactly as Obito imagined. Not only is it antique, but the numerous scrolls on the bookshelf are also neatly arranged. A long mahogany table is almost exactly the same as Hokage Office's table, and the chairs have been replaced by comfortable sofas.
The scrolls on the table were much fewer than those of Hokage Office. It seemed that there were not many affairs in the family. Lin watched Obito sit down and turned to the corner of the study, where there was a set of exquisite tea sets.
Soon the warm aroma of tea filled the entire study room, and Lin, who put down her tea cup, sat in the other corner of the study room, where there was a small table and a small sofa. Her legs stretched out from under the kimono and overlapped each other.
She was holding a book and seemed to be reading it with great interest. Obito looked at the cover of the book. It seemed to be a new work by the great writer Jiraiya. The promotional slogan clearly read, "A new masterpiece after understanding sadness" and other words.
And he also unfolded the scroll in front of him. It seemed that Uchiha Itachi reported that his younger brother had opened Sharingan and needed some resources from the family.
There is nothing interesting in the remaining scrolls. Most of them are boring trivial matters that need to be reviewed by Clan Head.
Obito simply stopped reading. He poked his head out from behind the scroll and quietly looked at Lin who was reading the book seriously. He seemed to have seen an interesting fragment. Lin held the book in one hand and covered her mouth with the other. Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were narrowed.
But in the next moment, Lin seemed to sense something. She suddenly raised her head and met Obito's eyes.
Obito's face suddenly turned red. Not only his face, he felt that his ears were also burning and steaming.
He quickly retracted his head behind the scroll, avoiding Lin's sight. However, his ears keenly picked up Lin's voice. She seemed to have put down the book, stood up from the chair, and walked in his direction.
"Honey, peek at me again..." Lin's arm crossed the scroll and touched Obito's frizzy hair. She held down the scroll he was holding with her other hand, revealing Obito's red face. She smiled and moved her head closer, her lips lightly touched Obito's cheek, and then she giggled.
"My dear, hurry up and finish today's work, okay?" She said as she straightened the scroll for Obito, then slowly left the study and started busy in the kitchen.
Obito no longer had any intention of reading the scroll. He could no longer even hold the scroll. His heart was trembling and his hands were shaking even more. He grabbed the tea cup in front of him and drank all the tea in one gulp regardless of the temperature. Feeling that it was not enough, he poured the tea leaves into his mouth, chewed hard, and swallowed hard.
He stood up and walked gently to the door of the study, trying not to make a sound. He stuck his head out and looked at Lin who was busy in the kitchen.
Lin seemed to have finished her work. She was carrying a tray and just walked out of the kitchen door. The two pairs of eyes met again.
