Chapter 263 The Golden-Haired Boy's First Love
Receiving a strange look from Yamanaka Ino and a bouquet of red carnations filling his arms, Naruto Uzumaki, who knew nothing about flowers, nodded contentedly.
Red expresses his burning passion and sincerity!
very good!
The phrase "lovers who love each other" shattered all the fog surrounding Naruto Uzumaki, and the words, naturally sweet, struck the heart of the naive boy.
He wants to be Haruko's lover!
I want to be Haruko's only special relationship!
The golden retriever, knowing his own feelings, held his head high, eagerly bought flowers, and ran energetically towards his beloved.
Standing not far from Haruko's house, Naruto Uzumaki nervously swallowed, trying hard to control his trembling hands and feet.
If Yamanaka Ino knew that the person he wanted to send flowers to was Hayama Haruko, she would probably give him a good scolding.
It was because Naruto Uzumaki kept being coy and refused to say who he was going to give the flower to.
Yamanaka Ino could only think that it was for his mother, and thoughtfully wrapped a bouquet of red carnations to match Kushina's fiery red hair.
wrong.
If Yamanaka Ino really found out that the person he was sending flowers to was Hayama Haruko, she would probably kick him out of the flower shop first.
Still basking in his self-satisfaction, Naruto Uzumaki kept encouraging himself and finally shouted "Haruko!" in a clear and resonant voice.
That resolute look on his face was as if he were making a vow to someone.
After a while, I heard the sound of the door opening from inside, and my heart, which had been just a little noisy, started racing instantly.
The thumping sound of his feet drowned out all the other sounds around him, becoming the sole accompaniment in the world of the blond boy experiencing his first stirrings of love.
"Naruto?"
The girl's clear voice, coupled with her bright face peeking out, forcefully entered Naruto Uzumaki's world.
Upon seeing the person, Naruto Uzumaki was no longer nervous.
Because his mind had completely shut down, he didn't even know what thinking was, and he just stared wide-eyed at his crush as he walked towards him step by step.
"Naruto? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Haruko looked him up and down curiously in the morning.
Not only was he standing ramrod straight, but his entire face was flushed. It wasn't summer, so it couldn't be heatstroke, could it?
She reached out and waved her hand in front of Naruto's eyes, making sure his eyes were fixed on her face without moving, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Are you alright, Naruto?"
The fragrance emanating from her waving hands wafted towards his nose; it was the scent of Haruko Hayama.
This realization intensified the blush on Naruto's face.
He was almost drunk, dizzy, wanting to escape this dizzying feeling, yet also wanting to be immersed in her scent forever.
Suddenly, Haruko moved closer.
Her beautiful face loomed larger and larger before Naruto's eyes.
Naruto's azure glass eyes narrowed and trembled slightly, and he held his breath, not daring to disturb her who was approaching.
The distance between them might only be a fist's width.
Her warm breath dissipated into the air, only a little heat lingering on Naruto's neck.
Even this slight heat made Naruto Uzumaki swallow hard, as if facing a formidable enemy. He choked, and the next second, an even richer fragrance enveloped him.
Every nerve in his body was being stimulated; Naruto's eyes were practically spinning like mosquito coils, and his face was as red as an apple.
All my plans and intentions along the way have been completely forgotten.
When Haruko's palm touched his forehead, Naruto's head exploded.
"Is he running a fever... Naruto?!"
Haruko withdrew her hand in alarm. "Your nose is bleeding!"
Naruto Uzumaki absentmindedly raised his hand to wipe his nose, and sure enough, he saw a smear of red on his fingertip.
Really...
He really did have a nosebleed...
Wait, he embarrassed himself in front of Haruko?!
Naruto's brain, which had stopped working, finally started to move forward with difficulty, as the major event of losing face sounded an alarm in his mind.
Ignoring the handkerchief Haruko had hastily handed him that morning, he turned his back and ran quickly to the wall a few meters away, carrying the flowers he had hidden behind him. He frantically wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve.
If Haruko Hayama hadn't been there, he probably would have been so ashamed and angry that he would have banged his head against the wall.
Ahhhhh—!
What on earth is that idiot doing?!
I came here to confess to Haruko, how did it end up like this?!
Naruto was on the verge of tears. More painful than the fact that his confession had fallen apart halfway through was the humiliation he had suffered in front of Haruko.
"Naruto, are you alright?"
The voice of Haruko Hayama behind him startled him.
Naruto Uzumaki hadn't figured out how to salvage his handsome image in Haruko's eyes, so he could only turn his back to her and nod haphazardly with a stiff body.
Not believing he was really alright, Haruko peered around, trying to see exactly how he was doing.
Noticing her movement, Naruto immediately turned to the side in the opposite direction.
Haruko Hayama, who had been led around several times: ...
Turn around so I can see!
Haruko emphasized her words and grabbed his shoulder, turning him around.
What attracted more attention than Naruto's embarrassed and slightly flushed face was the bouquet of flowers he thrust out with a determined effort.
Haruko looked at the flowers in front of her in surprise, then at Naruto Uzumaki, whose face was flushed and who dared not look at her.
"This is..."
Feeling the warmth about to flow from his nose, Naruto quickly withdrew one hand to cover his nose, not wanting to make himself look even more embarrassed in front of her.
His other hand, not only trembling, was stubbornly shoved into Haruko's arms.
Haruko took the bouquet from his hand and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
Before Naruto could feel any joy, Haruko changed the subject, "Is this for your mother? Are you asking me to give you some advice?"
"Huh?"
Naruto was stunned, gesturing incoherently with his hands, "I...you...why do you think..."
Understanding what he meant, Haruko asked, "Red carnations, aren't those usually given to mothers?"
To give to, Mom, Mom.
The six large characters played endlessly in Naruto's mind like a radio broadcast.
He froze on the spot, completely petrified.
Feeling uneasy, he hid by the second-floor window to peek at their white clothes. When he saw Naruto giving flowers to Haruko, the broom he was holding almost cracked.
Bai, after discovering the flower was a carnation: ...I'm relieved.
Having repeatedly embarrassed himself in front of Haruko, Naruto's face no longer blushed, but turned completely ashen.
"Hahaha...Is that so..."
Naruto forced a smile, like a soulless body maintaining its last vestige of dignity.
"Yes, that's right, I... I just wanted to get your advice!"
Even the return of the carnations that caused him embarrassment, and the bright red bouquet in his arms, could hardly bring any vitality to Naruto Uzumaki now.
After exchanging a few seconds of puzzled glances with Haruko Hayama, Naruto Uzumaki silently took a step back, then another.
"Well... I'll be going now!"
After saying that, he ran away at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
She almost tripped and fell halfway through the run. Before Haruko could express her concern, Naruto Uzumaki waved to her from a distance with a mournful face, indicating that he was alright.
A short while later, he disappeared from Haruko Hayama's sight.
It perfectly embodies the spirit of fleeing in disarray.
