Are You Interested in Me?

When Mikoto heard Aoba's weird answer, she was stunned for a moment. Her pretty face was filled with a hint of surprise.

Why didn't this person speak nicely?

Mikoto had received an excellent upbringing since she was a child. Moreover, she was born into the arrogant clan, Uchiha. Coupled with her personality, very few of her peers spoke to her like this.

It was just that...

Because the Uchiha clan was closely connected to Konoha Military Police Force.

It made her instinctively want to find the secret of this strange young man in front of her.

"I guess you are."

Mikoto just muttered in her heart. Her gentle personality made her not allow herself to speak in the same strange way.

"You guessed right."

Aoba rubbed his temples hard. He felt that this kind of dialogue was quite dull. He was already thinking about whether he should take the initiative to change to another seat.

"Well... You are a member of the Yamanaka clan. Then why haven't I seen you before?" Mikoto blinked her eyes and could not help but ask. She had a strange intuition and felt that this young man was abnormal.

"My body is weak and sickly. It is rare for me to go out. So it's normal that you haven't seen me before. Also, I haven't seen you either." Aoba said lightly. He glanced at Mikoto out of the corner of his eye. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with how this girl looked at him. Deep in his heart, he had the thought of avoiding her.

"Then why did you come to Ramen Ichiraku?" Mikoto asked again.

"I'm hungry!"

Aoba suddenly stood up and wanted to change his position. He could clearly feel that this girl was already curious about him.

This was definitely not a good thing!

No matter what kind of curiosity it was, it was not a good thing!

The moment Aoba stood up.

Teuchi brought over a bowl of steaming ramen. There were several large pieces of meat and eggs on it, which he directly placed in front of Aoba.

"I know you are hungry. But why are you rushing me?" Teuchi rolled his eyes at Aoba. He had already regarded Aoba as a friend, so he spoke without restraint.

After that, Teuchi brought another bowl of ramen, which was relatively much more plain, to Mikoto.

"Mikoto, you must be hungry if you come this late. Eat quickly while it is hot. If you need anything, tell big brother." Teuchi said with a smile, completely different from his attitude to Aoba, showing the person with a double standard.

"Big brother Teuchi, what I mean is, I came here because I am hungry..." Aoba's face was full of black lines.

"Don't explain. If you are hungry, hurry up and eat. If you let the noodles become lump again, I will be angry with you!" Teuchi held the spoon in his hand and gestured to Aoba. He expressed his anger and used the spoon to knock on him.

"..."

Aoba noticed that Teuchi had changed.

Ever since Mikoto came in, he had been like a big brother protecting his sister.

Now that the ramen was already on the table. If Aoba changed positions at this time. It seems a little inappropriate.

There was no other way.

Aoba could only bite the bullet and sit back down, picking up his chopsticks and taking big bites of noodles.

In a split second, this delicious taste that came from the Ramen noodles immediately swept away all Aoba's exhaustion, and his heart was instantly filled with happiness.

"Aoba, are you familiar with Big Brother Teuchi?"

Mikoto blinked her big eyes and stared at Aoba curiously.

She did not doubt Aoba's identity because of the interaction between Aoba and Teuchi. Instead, she became more curious about Aoba.

She had been to Ramen Ichiraku many times. Of course, she did not always come here alone. She came here with her best friend, Kushina.

But among all the people she knew. Only Minato seemed to have the best relationship with Teuchi.

However.

In front of her was the Aoba that she had just met, and it seemed that his relationship with Big Brother Teuchi was not ordinary.

This was the problem!

Mikoto keenly caught the contradiction here.

This young man named Aoba had just said that he was weak, sickly, and rarely went out, so how could he be so familiar with Big Brother Teuchi?

Something was wrong here!

If he was a spy from another village...

He had to set up a suitable identity for himself and find a suitable hiding place.

Ramen Ichiraku was indeed a suitable place.

Could it be...

Has Big Brother Teuchi been deceived by this youth's delicate appearance?

Mikoto blinked her big eyes and stared straight at Aoba. Her mind was quickly filled with the plot of how the spy from the other village had been discovered by her, so much so that she forgot to eat.

Aoba felt Mikoto's gaze and felt uncomfortable all over. However, he did not know what to say. It was obvious that Teuchi favored Mikoto. If he went overboard, his previous efforts might have been in vain.

The two had different thoughts in their hearts.

One ate the ramen quietly.

The other stared silently.

All of a sudden.

Mikoto once again broke the subtle silence between the two.

"Aoba, are you very familiar with Big Brother Teuchi?"

Mikoto had not officially joined Konoha Military Police Force yet and did not have many skills. She only relied on her instinctive suspicion and asked whatever she thought of.

After asking this question, she kept staring at Aoba, her eyes full of curiosity.

Only.

Aoba ignored her.

He was still eating noodles in big mouthfuls.

It was not until he sucked the last one into his mouth that he raised his head and looked at Mikoto.

In an instant, the two of them looked at each other.

"Your ramen noodles are about to turn into a lump," Aoba said indifferently. Then, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Aoba, don't go. Let's drink a pot of wine. The wine is ready." Seeing that Aoba was about to leave, Teuchi immediately stopped him.

"Alright..."

Aoba thought for a moment and sat down again. He just didn't want to have too much entanglement with Mikoto.

However.

Since it wasn't easy for him to dodge.

Then he could only take the initiative to attack.

He needs to scare Mikoto away.

After Aoba sat down again, he directly crossed his legs and looked at Mikoto. His dark pupils sized up this young girl who was about his age.

Almost instantly, Aoba saw vigilance and panic from Mikoto's expression.

So she was treating him like a criminal!

Aoba stayed in Konohagakure Intelligence Division for more than half a year and read many memories. Just by looking at Mikoto's expression, he could guess what the latter was thinking.

Compared to him.

Mikoto was still very inexperienced.

Since you like to play interrogation games.

Then I'll play with you!

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled into a wicked smile.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Mikoto's aura suddenly weakened a little. She couldn't help but shrink back a little. She dared to stare at Aoba like that just now because Aoba didn't look at her.

"You asked so much... Could it be..."

Aoba dragged out his voice. A mischievous light flashed in his eyes. He carefully sized up Mikoto's face. This made Mikoto have a bad feeling in her heart. She vaguely felt that this youth was going to say something wrong.

"Are you interested in me?"

Aoba revealed a narcissistic smile as he looked at Mikoto with an aggressive gaze.

He wanted to use this method to scare Mikoto away.

As a result, it was time for him to fight back!
