Chapter 233 Shizune, Too Immersed in Her Role
Uchiha Mitsunori tightened his grip on Shizune's arm.
The next second, the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, the space was slightly distorted, and the two were instantly transported from the government affairs hall piled with memorials to a luxurious bedroom.
The crystal chandelier in the dome refracted a soft, dappled light, and beside the soft couch covered with white fox fur, the incense burner emitted a faint fragrance of orchids, enveloping the air in a gentle warmth.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently laid Shizune horizontally on the soft bed, then leaned over her, carefully avoiding her hair with his hands.
He pressed his face against her cheek, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "Jingyin, I've actually been paying attention to you. You're a low-key, quiet, and gentle woman. Every time you hand me a document, you neatly trim the edges; you're not good at expressing your feelings, you don't compete or fight, yet you're always worrying about those around you..."
These tiny, almost overlooked things, like warm water, slowly flowed into the silent heart.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which slid down her cheeks, but Sanfeng quickly wiped them away with the back of his finger.
"I thought... you... had never cared about me."
The silent voice was choked with sobs; three years of self-doubt had finally burst forth at this moment.
Countless times, she watched Yuhi Hong accompany Sanfeng, and watched the other princesses chat and laugh with him, wondering if she was not good enough to win his heart.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, her tense body gradually relaxed, and her voice choked with shyness: "Lord Mimine... then why... haven't you... wanted me in these three years!"
Before she could finish speaking, her face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently lifted her chin, making her look directly into his eyes.
"Everyone says I'm lecherous, a big pervert, but actually I'm not greedy. There are many beautiful women in this ninja world, but I've never thought of possessing all of them. They say I'm fickle, but my feelings are only given to women who are worthy of my trust... like you."
Shizune's heart pounded faster. She blinked her reddened eyes and asked softly, "Lord Mimine... why are you telling me all this?"
A gentle smile appeared in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes: "For the past three years, I haven't touched you! It's because you have a kind heart, like a sweet little sister next door, needing to be carefully protected. I couldn't bear to see you suffer even the slightest grievance!"
These words, like warm water, slowly flowed into Jingyin's heart, transforming her three years of unease, doubt, and anticipation into a deep sense of gratitude.
Looking into Sanfeng's eyes with such seriousness, she could no longer resist. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, gently kissing him.
Then, she buried her face in his chest, her voice shy yet exceptionally firm: "Lord Mimine... I..."
Are you still nervous?
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head, his lips brushing against her reddened earlobe with a soothing tenderness.
Silently, her fingertips gripped his clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white, yet she still gently shook her head. Only her burning earlobes betrayed her current panic.
Three years of anticipation and self-doubt all transformed into a flutter in her heart at this moment, so close to him, making her even more careful with her breathing.
Uchiha Mitsunori's heart softened suddenly, and he lowered his head to seal her lips with a kiss.
The kiss was light, like a feather brushing against her skin, yet it was so tender that she instantly forgot all her grievances.
His lips gently caressed hers, without haste or domineering, only with patient soothing, until he felt her gradually relax, then he deepened the kiss slightly.
Shizune's body trembled slightly, but she did not resist. Instead, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently grabbed his collar.
When he stepped back slightly, Jingyin's lips were already moist and red.
He gently unbuttoned the first button of her uniform, his fingertips tracing her delicate skin, causing her to tremble slightly.
"Last time I inexplicably sensed the future, and saw you spending your whole life unmarried, staring blankly at the moon alone... I knew then that I couldn't wait any longer. I want to change your future, I want to give you my whole heart, Jingyin, are you willing to accept my sincerity?"
These words completely shattered Shizune's defenses, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears, reaching out to wrap her arms around Mitsuhide's neck: "Lord Mitsuhide, I...I'm willing..."
"From now on, you can just call me Sanfeng or my husband."
Uchiha Mitsunori interrupted her, kissed away her tears, gently unbuttoned the remaining buttons of her clothes with his fingertips, and gently pulled her uniform down to her shoulders.
Moonlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting a soft glow on her fair skin.
Uchiha Mitsumine's kisses gradually moved downwards, from her cheeks to her neck, and then to her collarbone. Each kiss was filled with tenderness, gradually relaxing her tense body.
Silent initially stiffened, but gradually softened, and finally she took the initiative to tighten her arms and bury her face in his strong chest.
She could feel the warmth of his palm, the carefulness in his movements, and all her unease and fear were replaced by tenderness at that moment.
"Sanfeng... my husband..." she murmured softly, as if confirming that this belated happiness was not just a dream.
Uchiha Mitsunori stopped what he was doing, looked up at the tears welling in her eyes, and whispered against her skin, "Shizune, I'll treat you well from now on."
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head and kissed her lips, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.
Seeing the tension in her eyes, he moved very slowly, patiently waiting for her to adjust. Only when she nodded gently did he dare to gradually increase the pace.
The incense burner in the bedroom still emitted fragrance, and the light from the crystal chandelier shone through the thin gauze, casting dappled patterns of light on the two people.
Her silent breathing gradually became rapid, and her clumsy hands gripped his arm tightly, leaving faint red marks. But when he lowered his head to kiss her, she took the initiative to open her lips in response.
She could feel his tenderness, the tenderness in his actions, and knew that she no longer had to wait secretly and could finally truly enter his life.
After an unknown amount of time, their rapid breathing gradually subsided.
Uchiha Mitsunori held Shizune tightly in his arms and wrapped their sweat-soaked bodies in a brocade blanket.
He lowered his head and planted a light kiss on her sweaty hair: "From now on, you're my woman. You don't have to wait foolishly by yourself anymore."
Jingyin leaned against him, her cheeks still flushed, but she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
Her voice was gentle: "Sanfeng... I'm so happy!"
Uchiha Mitsumine chuckled softly, tightening his arms to pull her closer to him.
Moonlight streamed through the gauze curtains, bathing the two embracing figures in a tender night, transforming this long-awaited affection, three years overdue, into the most tender night.
