Yemu was just about to get up when Hinata's slender hand pressed down on his shoulder again.
"Yemu..."
Hinata Hyuga's voice trembled slightly, yet held an indescribable stubbornness.
"You're always looking at other people. You've never really looked at me."
"I'm right beside you now. Could you look at only me?"
Hinata finished speaking.
Her pale eyes reddened slightly, like raindrops about to fall.
That practically made little symbols of anger appear above Qingxue Uchiha's head beside her.
"Is that so?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out, piercing the atmosphere like an icicle.
The familiar sound of black boots stepping onto the wooden floor was steady and oppressive.
Qingxue Uchiha's black hair fell over her shoulders. Her Sharingan wasn't activated, yet the room's temperature seemed to plummet.
"Hinata Hyuga."
Qingxue Uchiha's eyes were cold enough to freeze the air. "When did you become so forward?"
Hinata Hyuga didn't back down either. Though her expression changed, she gritted her teeth and raised her head. "Qingxue... you have no right to interfere, do you? You're not anyone special to Yemu."
"You two aren't married yet, right? So you..."
"Have."
"No."
"Right."
"To boss."
"Me around."
Hinata Hyuga practically delivered the sentence one word at a time.
She knew that if she kept yielding, she might not even get the scraps in the future.
Rather than that...
She might as well make the first move herself.
Everyone dies eventually. Before I die, I have to devour Yemu.
"Heh."
Qingxue Uchiha gave a soft laugh.
It was hard to tell whether she was angry or amused.
She strolled up to Hinata and lowered her gaze to look down at her.
"At least I was the first woman by his side."
"And you aren't even the second."
Qingxue Uchiha's words packed quite a punch.
Yemu
