Chapter 302 Temari: When I'm with you, even the wind feels sweet.
The two entered through the gate, with Temari following closely beside Uchiha Mitsunori.
Her gaze would often steal glances at his tall, upright profile.
This man is too strong, too mysterious, not to mention his handsome face, which exudes a fatal attraction even when he frowns in thought.
These almost fulfilled all her fantasies about her ideal partner.
Temari snuggled into his arms, following the sleeve of his clothes.
Her heart was pounding so hard she felt like it was going to explode, and she whined in a spoiled tone, "Sanfeng, can you teach me Celestial Mode?"
Uchiha Mitsunaga gently placed his hand on her waist, feeling the soft curve of her waist in his palm: "What's the rush? Avatar Mode requires a gradual approach..."
"I don't care, I want to learn now."
Temari stared at him with her bright eyes, and even dared to reach out and hook her arm around his neck, bringing the two of them even closer.
Unable to resist the expectation and curiosity in her eyes, Uchiha Mitsunori nodded: "Alright, don't move, relax, Genjutsu: Sharingan."
He activated the Eternal Kaleidoscope, engraving all the knowledge of the Celestial Mode into Temari's memory.
Temari opened her eyes, still reeling from the shock.
Upon seeing Uchiha Mitsunori's face so close, a sudden impulse surged within him.
She had never been this brave in her entire life; back in the Land of Wind, she was a well-behaved daughter of the Wind Shadow.
After meeting Uchiha Mitsunori, she couldn't help but want to get closer, act cute, and tell him all her little secrets.
She suddenly stood on tiptoe and quickly planted a light kiss on the corner of his lips.
The moment their lips touched, they both froze. The touch was as soft as cotton candy, yet it burned her cheeks instantly, turning them pink even at the tips of her ears.
She hurriedly took a half step back, her voice both shy and anxious: "That kiss just now was a reward for teaching me Celestial Mode. You're my fiancé, it's only right that you teach me skills! Besides... I only know you here."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her voice softened, and it carried a hint of pleading: "I've never been in a relationship before, and I've just become your fiancée. I've never even gone shopping with anyone... Could you go shopping with me just once? Even if it's just once in this lifetime, I want to try and see what it's like to be in a relationship."
Uchiha Mitsunori was slightly taken aback by the unexpected stolen kiss.
Listening to her pitiful, soft plea, I saw unease hidden in her eyes, yet also anticipation.
He took her hand in his and said with utmost tenderness, "Silly girl, who said we'd only do it once?"
He reached out and ruffled her hair, his fingertips brushing against her flushed earlobe: "I'll not only go to the market with you, but I'll also take you to shopping streets and malls. There they sell milk tea you've never tried before, and desserts that are sweet to the core."
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
Temari suddenly looked up, her eyes shining like stars. Her previous grievances vanished instantly, leaving only unbelievable joy.
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and nodded: "I'm not lying to you, come in... Someone, prepare dinner for Lady Temari, and a few desserts as well."
The maids responded and came out. Seeing the two standing hand in hand, their intimate atmosphere almost overflowing with sweetness, they wisely lowered their heads and quietly set the table.
Temari sat at the dining table, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
The feeling of being in love is having someone remember your little expectations, the warmth of holding hands, and the seriousness of making promises.
The sun was setting outside the window, and dinner was quickly prepared.
Uchiha Mitsunori raised his hand to wipe the sugar frosting from the corner of her mouth, his eyes full of tenderness: "From now on, in the Land of Water, you can eat it whenever you want."
The following afternoon, in the central commercial street of the Land of Water.
When Temari followed Uchiha Mitsunori out of the spatial passage, she was instantly stunned by the sight before her and stopped in her tracks.
This is hardly a "market"; on both sides of the wide cement road are skyscrapers dozens of stories high.
The commercial street is lined with a dazzling array of brand stores, snack shops, and beverage shops.
"Western Silk Workshop...Deep Sea Pearl Pavilion...Sweet Honey Milk Tea Shop, etc." The air was filled with the sweet aroma of milk tea and the smoky scent of barbecue.
The pedestrians on the street wore peaceful smiles, and occasionally a child would run by carrying a balloon, but it didn't feel chaotic.
This is the "paradise" that people in the ninja world call it, where even the wind carries a gentle scent.
"What are you spacing out for? Didn't you want to look at the shopping street?"
Uchiha Mitsumine gently took her hand and smiled as he pointed to the steaming milk tea shop not far away.
"Shall we grab a milk tea first? I heard that milk tea there is more to the taste of the Land of Wind."
Temari finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly followed him, saying, "This place is even more beautiful than the caravans described..."
The milk tea shop was warm and cozy, with a dozen stainless steel cans on the wooden counter, each containing a different flavor of tea base.
Upon seeing someone enter, the shop assistant quickly greeted them with a smile: "What would you like to order, sir?"
"Two cups with double sea buckthorn berries."
The staff brought over two cups of milk tea. The orange-red sea buckthorn juice was mixed with the milky white tea soup, and plump sea buckthorn berries floated on top. You could easily drink them by inserting a straw.
Temari took a careful sip, the sweet and sour taste of sea buckthorn mixed with the aroma of milk melting on her tongue.
Her eyes lit up instantly: "It's so delicious! Even more refreshing than the milk tea from the Land of Winds!"
Seeing her satisfied expression, Uchiha Mitsunori picked up his own cup of milk tea and gently touched her cup: "Drink more if you like. There are many dessert shops behind us. Buy and drink as much as you like, as long as you're happy."
The two walked hand in hand down the commercial street, followed by three maids.
They carried empty wicker baskets and always kept a distance of two steps.
As Temari passed by the silk shop, she was drawn to a piece of light pink silk in the window.
"This color is so gentle, it would look amazing in clothes."
Following her gaze, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and pushed open the door: "Want to come in and take a look? Buy it if you like."
The shop assistant quickly took out the silk. Temari touched the fabric; it was as soft as a cloud. But she was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this too much trouble..."
Uchiha Mitsunori picked up the silk and handed it to the maid behind him: "What's the trouble? Wrap it up, someone come and pay the bill."
The maid respectfully took it, skillfully placed it in the basket, and thoughtfully asked, "Does Lady Temari need a custom size? We can contact the workshop and it can be made within three days."
Temari was stunned for a moment before realizing that she didn't need to worry about it, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She pulled Sanfeng along and quickly walked out of the shop: "Let's go get some dessert! I think I smelled red beans just now!"
In the dessert shop, red bean shaved ice was piled up like a small mountain, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with crushed peanuts.
Temari scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The cool, sweet, and chewy texture made her squint her eyes.
Seeing the peanut crumbs on the corner of her mouth, Uchiha Mitsunori gently wiped them away for her: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take them from you."
Temari's cheeks flushed even more, but she deliberately scooped up a spoonful and held it to his lips: "You eat some too, this is super sweet!"
Uchiha Mitsunori opened his mouth and ate it, a warm smile appearing on his lips.
After leaving the dessert shop, the two browsed the jewelry shop.
Temari chose a light blue gemstone bracelet with tiny diamonds embedded in the beads, which looked like stars hidden in the sunlight.
As the sun set, the maid's basket was already full.
Temari held Uchiha Mitsunori's hand as they walked home.
She turned her head to look at the man beside her, and suddenly whispered, "Sanfeng, I think I know what it feels like to be in love now."
"Oh? What does it feel like?"
Uchiha Mitsunori looked down at her, his eyes full of smiles.
Temari looked up, her eyes shining like stars in the night sky: "Yes... when I'm with you, even the wind feels sweet."
