Early the next morning~
He was startled awake by the alarm!
Uchiha Lei woke up instantly, slapped the alarm off, then habitually rolled over, draped his arms and legs wherever they landed, and closed his eyes to rest!
"Ah-"
Uchiha Mikoto screamed beside him~
Uchiha Mikoto quickly sat up, huddled against the headboard, and pulled the blanket in front of herself for protection!
Lying on his side, Uchiha Lei looked at Uchiha Mikoto, still a little dazed from just waking up!
[Plundered Uchiha Mikoto's one-tomoe Sharingan for 10 hours, progress 20%, total progress 24%, gained ocular power +200 points]
Hearing the system reward notification, he instantly felt a large amount of ocular power pour into his eyes, making both of them feel somewhat hot!
Because of his Rinnegan, Uchiha Lei absorbed the ocular power in moments!
He looked at Uchiha Mikoto beside him, wrapped in the blanket, her eyes red-rimmed and damp at the corners!
He suddenly remembered what had happened last night~
Uchiha Lei wanted to become stronger quickly, so he had resolutely knocked on Uchiha Mikoto's bedroom door!
Uchiha Mikoto had just opened the door.
Holding his blanket, Uchiha Lei suddenly darted into the room, burrowed under the covers, and shamelessly refused to leave!
Uchiha Mikoto had no choice but to lay down three rules for Uchiha Lei with a serious expression:
"First: we must each sleep under our own blanket!
Second: we must sleep with our backs to each other!
Third: we must stay one meter apart!"
Uchiha Lei readily agreed:
"I promise to follow all three rules to the letter!"
Because Uchiha Mikoto was confident that Uchiha Lei would keep his word, after staying on her guard for half an hour and finding that Lei had indeed broken no rules, she fell asleep with peace of mind!
But with the system rewards in mind~
Uchiha Lei first moved to within one meter of Uchiha Mikoto. After thinking for half an hour, he felt that the plundering progress was too slow this way!
He thought that Uchiha Mikoto was his childhood sweetheart and probably would not mind sharing a blanket with him, since Mikoto had held him while they slept when they were little!
So he boldly slipped out from under his own blanket and under hers. The lingering cherry blossom fragrance beneath the covers made Uchiha Lei want to move closer to Uchiha Mikoto!
In the end, he became so sleepy that he threw caution to the wind, reached out to hug Uchiha Mikoto, and spent the night like that!
The system rewards were gratifying. In one day and one night, he had already nearly plundered a quarter of the one-tomoe Sharingan!
Uchiha Lei immediately sat up and slowly scooted toward the headboard, embracing the principle that a shameless man was invincible!
Looking at the deeply upset Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Lei reached out, put his arm around Mikoto's shoulders, and drew her head against his shoulder, saying with a serious expression:
"Mikoto, I know I broke our agreement!
But I just like you so much! I couldn't help wanting to be close to you."
Uchiha Mikoto looked up at Uchiha Lei, who did not seem to be pretending. Thinking that she had already shared a bed with Lei anyway, she gradually accepted the outcome.
"Lei, can you promise to love me forever?"
Uchiha Lei knew that Uchiha Mikoto's question was an affirmative statement at this moment. Besides, Mikoto would be a good wife and loving mother in the future. He had to win her over!
Uchiha Lei nodded solemnly:
"Mikoto, I can promise to love you forever!"
Hearing Uchiha Lei's firm answer, Uchiha Mikoto's lips curled upward slightly, and she spoke her heart:
"Lei, then ask my parents for my hand soon! You know how many boys keep pestering me!
Especially the young clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku. I'm afraid that if we wait too long..."
Uchiha Lei directly shattered the mood Uchiha Mikoto had created, replying with a smile:
"Mikoto, I forgot to tell you! I actually spoke to your father yesterday!"
Uchiha Mikoto interrupted Uchiha Lei before he could continue. Eager to know the result, she asked excitedly:
"Lei, did my father agree?"
Before Uchiha Lei could shake his head and finish speaking!
A knock came at the door~
Knock, knock, knock~
Then came Uchiha Miko's sweet voice, asking~
"Mikoto, have you seen where Lei went?
I checked his room. Why isn't he there?"
Uchiha Lei's quiet plea reached Uchiha Mikoto's ears:
"Mikoto... say I went out for morning training!"
Seeing Uchiha Lei's nervous expression, Uchiha Mikoto's blushing face returned to normal. She nodded, then turned and called out:
"Mother, Lei probably went out for morning training!"
At this moment, Uchiha Lei stealthily gathered up his blanket, planning to escape through the window!
But he failed to notice Uchiha Yama below, who had nothing to do!
Holding his blanket, Uchiha Lei quickly formed hand seals with both hands and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in the courtyard, then tiptoed cautiously toward the living room!
Suddenly~
Smack-
Someone patted his shoulder.
Uchiha Lei turned to look, cold sweat breaking out over his face. He immediately turned around and greeted him:
"Good morning, Uncle!"
"Good morning, Lei! What are you doing?"
Uchiha Yama grew suspicious as he stared at the blanket in Uchiha Lei's hands and the pajamas Lei was wearing!
Uchiha Lei lied without a moment's preparation. He hid the blanket behind his back with one hand, rubbed his head with the other, and set his legs into a jog, leaving behind a single sentence as he went:
"Uncle, I was just doing my morning training!"
Uchiha Lei ran into the living room. Just as he was about to use the Body Flicker Technique, he collided head-on with a soft expanse of purple. The scent of orchids lingered at his nose, intoxicating Lei!
Then Uchiha Miko's pleasant voice sounded beside his ear~
"Lei, are you back from morning training? I've just finished making breakfast!"
Uchiha Lei immediately took a step back. Sensing the chilling murderous intent behind him, he turned and saw Uchiha Yama's gloomy face. He swallowed and found an excuse:
"Auntie, I'll air out my blanket first! Then I'll..."
Before he could finish, Uchiha Miko enthusiastically took the blanket and replied with a smile:
"Lei, just leave things like this to me! Go eat!"
Looking at Uchiha Miko's sweet smile, Uchiha Lei could not refuse at all. He nodded in agreement:
"Sorry for the trouble, Auntie!"
Seeing Uchiha Miko had put Uchiha Lei in a very good mood, but he kept feeling that he had forgotten something as he walked toward the living room!
Uchiha Miko went over to the clothesline and hung the blanket over it. She made a point of patting the blanket with her hand, and the cherry blossom fragrance drifted to her nose. She remarked casually:
"Huh-
Why does Lei's blanket smell of cherry blossoms?
And this scent is so familiar...
Oh, right. Mikoto's room seems to smell just like this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Yama in the courtyard and Uchiha Lei, who was walking toward the living room, both heard her.
Cold sweat broke out all over Uchiha Lei, and every step he took felt heavy!
Uchiha Yama had thought it very odd that Uchiha Lei had appeared beneath his daughter's window. Now, putting that together with his wife Miko's casual words, he turned toward Lei and shouted angrily:
"Uchiha Lei, how dare you take advantage of my daughter!"
Then Uchiha Lei's screams rang out one after another from the guest room~
"Help-
Father-in-law, stop hitting me!"
"Don't call me Father-in-law! You don't deserve to. Die!"
By now, Uchiha Lei's face was bruised and swollen. Uchiha Mikoto, who had just come downstairs, was deeply distressed at the sight. She immediately rushed over to shield Lei, spread her arms, and explained loudly:
"I gave Lei permission! If you want to hit someone, hit me, your daughter!"
Everything instantly fell silent-
Uchiha Yama, who had been holding a wooden shoe high in his hand, was stunned as well. He did not even notice the shoe falling to the floor!
Uchiha Miko hurried in and walked over to Uchiha Yama, asking softly what had happened:
"Yama, what happened? Why are you so angry that you're hitting Lei? Lei looks so pitiful."
"Yes, Auntie, I'm very pitiful."
Uchiha Lei hid behind Uchiha Mikoto, holding her waist with both hands and peeking out with his face somewhat red and swollen from the beating!
Hearing Uchiha Lei's quiet remark, Uchiha Yama's anger flared up again. He pointed his right index finger at Lei and roared:
"Pitiful, my ass! My precious daughter is the pitiful one! She's only eight! You beast!"
Uchiha Mikoto understood now. Her father had misunderstood Uchiha Lei and thought Lei had taken advantage of her. She hurriedly explained:
"Father, you've misunderstood. Lei and I only held each other while we slept!
We didn't do anything sexual at all! Father, please stop giving Lei a hard time."
