Chapter 424 Tian Tian, I Want to Feed the Pandas Bamboo
A gentle evening breeze carried a sweet fragrance into the room, bathing the corridor in a warm yellow glow.
Every day, a warm feeling rises in my heart. I never knew it felt so reassuring to be cared for.
After washing up, the fragrance of roses and lavender wafted through the air, wafting over my nose.
Every day, she takes off her outer clothes and gently soaks in the warm bath, her fingers lightly touching the rose petals floating on the surface of the water.
She raised her hand and scooped up a handful of warm water, the water droplets slipping through her fingers and splashing up tiny ripples.
Thoughts rippled outwards. He was just an ordinary ninja, without a distinguished family background or extraordinary talent, yet he had won the favor of Lord Mimine.
After her bath, Tian Tian changed into a pink nightgown with delicate white plum blossom embroidery on the neckline, which made her skin appear even more radiant and translucent.
Her short hair was still damp, and she was surrounded by a faint scent of flowers and soap.
She walked barefoot on the cool wooden floor, her toes slightly curled, and gently placed her hands on the wooden window frame.
The evening breeze, carrying the coolness of the night, swept over her, lifting the stray hairs on her forehead and brushing against her cheeks.
A few chirping insects drifted from afar, their clear and melodious sounds adding a touch of life to the tranquil night.
Looking up, the night sky was as clear as if it had been washed with water, without a single cloud. Countless stars were scattered across it, like a handful of broken diamonds, dazzlingly bright.
Suddenly, a shooting star appeared, leaving a dazzling silver-blue trail. Its light vanished in an instant, catching everyone off guard.
"Shooting star...make a wish..."
Every day, I unconsciously put my hands together and silently make a wish, afraid of missing this fleeting moment of beauty.
She had just silently prayed that this happiness would last a little longer when the shooting star disappeared into the sky and quickly blended into the deep night.
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she said with a touch of self-mockery, "I was indeed too greedy."
At this moment, Uchiha Mitsunori was lounging in a rocking chair, his dark robes swaying gently in the evening breeze.
With his ability of the Eye of God, he could see every move Tiantian made clearly.
When she made her sincere wish, her pure anticipation was just like that of a child who had received candy but was afraid of it being taken away—pure and beautiful.
Having witnessed countless sycophantic flattery and insincere fawning, Tenten's pure and unadulterated simplicity was quite interesting to him.
With a slight movement of his chakra, his figure vanished from the spot.
The next second, he appeared steadily in Tian Tian's bedroom, landing silently.
Tian Tian was still regretting the unfulfilled wishes when she felt a pair of strong arms tightly wrap around her waist from behind, and a warm chest pressed completely against her back.
He gently pulled her closer to him, their bodies instantly pressed together, and they could clearly feel each other's heartbeats.
Tian Tian was so frightened that her whole body stiffened instantly, her muscles tensed up, and she instinctively raised her hand to fight back.
But then she heard that reassuring voice in her ear: "Tian Tian, don't be afraid, it's me."
Upon hearing Uchiha Mitsumine's voice, Tenten's tense body instantly relaxed. She leaned back gently, nestling into his arms, her ears burning hot.
She raised her hand and gently placed it over his hand that was wrapped around her waist. With a girlish dependence and a shy whisper, she said, "Lord Mimine, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand, you startled me."
Being close to the person she liked made her heart beat a little faster.
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head slightly and kissed the top of her head, his lips carrying the moisture and faint floral scent from her hair. The scent was fresh and pleasant, warming his heart.
His lips brushed against her cheek, his warm breath caressing her earlobe: "Tian Tian, I missed you, so I came to see you."
His palm gently caressed the soft, smooth fabric of her nightgown at her waist.
"I saw you making a wish upon a shooting star outside just now. What did you wish for? Can you tell me? Were you secretly thinking about me?"
Every day, his questions made her cheeks flush even more. Her eyes darted away, not daring to look into his eyes so close to hers. Her long eyelashes trembled like startled butterfly wings, and she whispered like a mosquito, "Um... I hadn't finished making my wish when the shooting star disappeared. I only made half of my wish."
In the end, her voice was full of regret, but her eyes held a hint of sweetness.
She would never tell him that she had just made a wish to be with him forever when the shooting star disappeared. She was too ashamed to utter such a straightforward wish.
"Seeing shooting stars is actually quite simple!"
Uchiha Mitsumine chuckled lightly, exuding the confidence and composure unique to a strong person.
He gently kissed her ear, then her cheek. He then gently lifted her chin, directing her eyes toward the night sky outside the window.
"Tian Tian, I have a gift for you. Look at the sky ahead!"
After saying that, he flicked his long, slender fingers, making a crisp snap.
Tian Tian followed his gaze to the window, and the next second she was so shocked that her eyes widened and she instinctively covered her mouth with her hands.
The night sky, which was originally only dotted with a few stars, was now filled with countless shooting stars streaking across the sky one after another, leaving long, dazzling trails. Some were silvery white, some were pale pink, and some were light blue.
Like a grand meteor shower banquet, it adorned the entire night sky with unparalleled brilliance.
She had never seen such a magnificent and romantic sight in all her life.
"Tian Tian, make a wish! This meteor shower is for you!"
Uchiha Mitsumine's voice rang in her ears, carrying a gentle smile. His arms around her waist tightened, as if he wanted to hold her firmly in his embrace and make her completely his.
He could clearly feel the slight trembling of the person in his arms, an expression of excitement and joy, which even made their breathing a little rapid.
Every day, she would lift her head from his embrace, clasp her hands together tightly, close her eyes, lower her head slightly, and begin to make a wish with utmost sincerity.
Her brows furrowed slightly, a happy smile playing on her lips, as she silently uttered her most sincere wish: "I hope Lord Mitsumine can truly love me, and I hope to be by his side forever..."
She didn't dare to ask for too much; even just quietly staying by his side would be enough.
Looking at the devout expression on the face of the person in his arms, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes were filled with tenderness.
He had seen countless beautiful women and heard countless hypocritical flattery. What they sought was nothing more than power, status, or strength. But Tian Tian's only wish was for him, for the simplest things: to be together and for peace.
He gently wiped away her tears, pulled her back into his arms, and lifted her chin to plant a domineering kiss on her cheek.
"Tian Tian, I love you."
These three words were spoken without the slightest hesitation, and without the usual carefree and unrestrained manner.
Tian Tian stood frozen in place, only the sound of her own heart pounding like a drum, and his words "I love you" echoing repeatedly in her mind.
She opened her mouth, then threw herself into Mitsuhine's arms: "Lord Mitsuhine... I love you too... I'm willing to give everything for you!"
After saying that, she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her face in his chest.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently lifted Tenten's chin, gazed deeply into her eyes, and then slowly leaned down to kiss her lips.
Fingers began to move restlessly, expertly tracing each button as if unlocking the world's most precious treasure.
Tian Tian trembled slightly all over, initially feeling a bit shy and helpless like a young girl, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes.
The kiss between the two continued.
She put all her anxieties and trepidation behind her and responded to his tenderness clumsily but with utmost sincerity.
Suddenly, a night breeze quietly blew into the room, lifting a corner of the curtain and causing it to sway gently, just enough to brush against the edge of the bookshelf.
With a soft "thud," a pink comic book slipped from the second shelf and fell onto the wooden floor.
Uchiha Mitsunaga paused slightly, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and his gaze fell on the open comic book.
The cover features the title, "My Sweet Time with Lord Mitsumine," printed in gold foil.
Every time she saw that comic book, her cheeks would turn bright red, and even her ears would burn, as if someone had exposed her most secret thoughts on the spot.
Those were comics she had secretly hidden away; she never expected him to discover them in this way.
She hurriedly broke free from Sanfeng's embrace, nimbly pounced over, and pressed her hands tightly against the comic book, her fingertips trembling slightly with nervousness, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
She hastily hid the comic book behind her back, her head bowed low: "Mifeng... it's not what you think..."
Seeing her embarrassed yet adorable appearance, Uchiha Mitsunori chuckled softly.
"I just saw that the panda-patterned pants the female lead on the cover is wearing are quite cute. Tiantian, I think you have the same ones in your closet, can you wear them and let me see?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Tian felt her cheeks burning hot, and even her breathing became a little erratic.
She secretly glanced at him, saw his expectant look, and hesitated for a moment.
She couldn't resist his tender gaze, and nodded, her cheeks flushed, "Since you like it... then I'll wear it for you!"
Tian Tian bit her lower lip, hugged her comic book, turned around and quickly hid in the changing room. As she closed the door, she secretly glanced at him and saw him smiling at her. She was even more embarrassed and slammed the door shut.
A moment later, the door to the changing room slowly opened, and Tian Tian walked out wearing a white panda-patterned pair of pants.
The panda on her pants was round and chubby, making her skin appear even whiter and giving her an adorable, girlish charm.
Looking at Tenten like this, Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes were almost overflowing with doting affection.
He strode forward and, without saying a word, scooped her up in his arms.
Tian Tian gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her cheek against his chest.
"Tian Tian, I want to feed the pandas bamboo!"
