These Roses Are for You-Koki Bought Them Especially
Koki stood stiffly behind Obito, his face full of question marks.
He didn't understand why Obito had to take responsibility for him, since he had accidentally broken the twig and ruined the atmosphere of Obito's confession.
Obito's actions surprised and moved him. He wanted to explain to Rin, but Obito's figure blocked his way, preventing him from going forward.
Rin's gaze shifted between Obito and Koki, a hint of elusive amusement flashing in her eyes.
She was surprised; she had never seen Obito show such a strong protective instinct towards anyone. Every action and every word he uttered was an explanation for Koki, as if he was afraid that Koki would suffer even the slightest harm.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, deliberately putting on a serious expression, and questioned Obito: "Obito, if that's the case, then why did you let Koki hide behind you? Do you have some secret you're hiding from me?"
Obito seemed somewhat at a loss for words.
His cheeks flushed slightly, and he stammered, trying to explain, "No, Lin, I... I just..."
However, when the words came to his lips, he found himself unable to find the right words, and could only stand there awkwardly, at a loss and in a dilemma.
Amid Obito's tense expression, Rin finally couldn't help but let out a string of silvery laughter.
Her laughter, like a clear mountain stream, gently and instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere around her.
She waved her hand gently, her words revealing a hint of playfulness and charm. "Haha, Obito, I was just teasing you. I rarely see you so nervous."
Upon Obito, Obito's facial muscles gradually relaxed from their tension. He touched his head somewhat awkwardly, then laughed, his laughter mingling with Rin's cheerful tone.
Koki, standing behind, witnessed everything and was amused by the interaction between the two, bursting into laughter.
The laughter of the three echoed in the air.
However, it seems that Lin won't pursue the matter of him hiding behind the tree to spy on her, Koki felt a weight lifted from her heart.
At the same time, Koki mentally berated herself for being so stupid!
This was Obito's lifelong regret, how could he let himself ruin it?!
"Alright, you don't need to protect him anymore. I forgive you all."
Upon Koki slowly stepped out from behind Obito.
Rin turned her head and looked at Koki with a gentle gaze. Her voice was full of curiosity as she said to Obito, "Obito, aren't you going to introduce this younger brother to me? He seems to care about you a lot."
Obito then realized that he hadn't formally introduced Koki to Rin yet, so he quickly nodded and pushed Koki in front of Rin.
"Rin, this is Koki, our clan chief's child. I've been staying at his house recently. Koki, this is Rin, my... um... we're very good friends."
Koki bowed slightly to Rin, his smile as bright as the sun, "Hello, Rin-nee, I'm Koki, it's an honor to meet you."
"Hello." Lin's gaze gently fell on Koki.
His hair was jet black, swaying gently in the wind; his skin was fair, radiating a healthy glow; his features were exquisitely refined, especially his deep black eyes, characteristic of the Uchiha Clan, which shone like stars in the night sky, captivating all who beheld them.
A bright smile graced Koki's face, a smile as warm as the spring sun, capable of dispelling the gloom in people's hearts.
Lin looked at Koki and couldn't help but admire her inwardly. "What a lovely and beautiful Uchiha."
Koki noticed Rin's gaze, and his smile widened.
When Rin's gaze fell on Koki, Koki also couldn't help but curiously examine the girl in front of her—the famous girl from the anime— Rin Nohara.
His eyes reflected a fresh and refined young girl.
Lin's hair was a light brown, smooth and shiny, casually draped over her shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a touch of lively beauty.
Her eyes were large and bright, with pupils as clear as autumn water, and a deep brown color reflected in them.
With delicate features, a high nose bridge, and beautiful lips, she has two purple floral patterns on her face and always wears a gentle smile, making people feel incredibly friendly and comfortable.
Lin's skin was fair and delicate, seemingly glowing with a faint luster. She had a well-proportioned figure and wore a simple yet stylish light pink ninja dress, showcasing a natural and unpretentious beauty.
Koki gazed at Rin, inwardly marveling, "She truly lives up to her reputation; no wonder Obito likes her so much."
Under Koki's gaze, Rin seemed to feel that warm aura, and she responded with a serene smile.
That smile was like a gentle spring rain, bathing Koki in a warm spring breeze.
Unlike Hong's beauty, Lin's beauty is like a gentle breeze, and her smile always brings people the warmth of sunshine.
In that instant when their eyes met, the distance between them seemed to shrink considerably.
In that instant, Koki's gaze inadvertently fell upon the bouquet of vibrant roses behind Obito, and a flash of inspiration struck him—a brilliant plan to help Obito emerged in his mind.
He spoke excitedly, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, and said to Lin, "Rin-nee, this bouquet of roses is...?"
But before he could finish speaking, Obito abruptly interrupted him.
Obito seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly took out the bouquet of roses from behind his back. His face was full of panic, but his tone was full of determination.
"Lin, this bouquet of flowers was specially bought for you by Koki! He said it was to celebrate meeting you, and he hopes you like it."
Koki heard Obito's explanation, he froze on the spot for a moment, his eyes wide open, staring at Obito in astonishment.
If Rin hadn't been there, Koki would have really wanted to shake Obito's shoulders and ask him what he was up to!!
He wanted to explain, to say that it wasn't true, but the bouquet of roses was indeed one he had helped Obito choose!! He simply couldn't deny it.
Koki felt a sense of helplessness. No matter how shy Obito, he couldn't use this method to distract Rin.
Rin looked at the two of them, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She took the rose that Obito handed her, and gently sniffed it. The fragrance was delightful, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
She looked at Koki with gratitude in her eyes. "Koki, thank you. This bouquet of roses is really beautiful, I love it."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm glad you like it, Rin-nee." Koki looked at the roses in Rin's hand, then at Obito, and could only smile awkwardly, accepting Rin's thanks.
