Chapter 44 Being stood up
As night deepened, there were far fewer pedestrians on the road.
Seeing this, Uchiha Ye quickened his pace and hurried home.
"Right, why doesn't she buy a house here?"
"It's never a bad thing to own more properties."
She happened to be passing by a casino, so she decided to transform herself and go in for a couple of rounds to earn enough money to buy a house.
A voice came from behind, "Ye, is that you?"
Uchiha Ye immediately stopped the hand seals she was about to form and turned around. She saw Kakashi with silver hair and dressed in casual clothes standing behind her.
"Kakashi-senpai, what a coincidence!"
"Senior, are you out for a late-night snack?"
"If you don't mind, I have a few skewers of meatballs left. Would you like some?"
After she finished speaking, she handed over the three-colored dumplings that she had prepared to bring to Itachi the next day.
Kakashi glanced at the dumpling in her hand. "Yo, I'm not interested in sweets."
"Oh, I see!"
"Kakashi-senpai, wait here for me."
After saying that, Uchiha Ye ran off to a shop selling salt-grilled saury and ordered two.
It's a bit late now, so there aren't many people. You won't have to wait too long; it will be ready quickly.
She paid and returned to the place where she met Kakashi. "Kakashi-senpai, here you go."
Kakashi looked slightly puzzled. "How did you know I like to eat this?"
"Well... I've seen you buy it before, so..." Uchiha Ye racked his brains and finally came up with an excuse.
"Otherwise, she can't exactly say she watched it in anime, can she?"
"Thank you so much," Kakashi said, seemingly believing her, and accepted the gift.
There happened to be a bench nearby, so the two sat down and started chatting. "Kakashi-senpai, do you live around here?"
“Yes, that’s where I live,” Kakashi replied, pointing with his finger.
"May I ask how much it costs to buy a house here?"
Kakashi, who was about to put the fish in his mouth, paused for a moment, "You're going to live here?"
"Yes, I'd like to buy one for convenience."
Uchiha Yo didn't hide anything and explained the reason directly.
"Oh, I see! There happens to be an apartment for sale downstairs from where I live. I'll ask about it for you later," Kakashi said, almost as if he were possessed.
"Then thank you in advance, senior."
Uchiha Ye's eyes lit up instantly, causing Kakashi's heart, which had been calm for a long time, to start beating rapidly.
He suppressed the pounding in his heart and asked, "Ye, buying a house requires some money. Do you have any?"
"Senior, after you finish eating, I'll take you somewhere," Uchiha Ye said mysteriously.
Before long, Kakashi finished eating the salt-grilled saury that Ye had bought.
After a short rest, Uchiha Ye took him to a small alley and used his transformation jutsu to become a man in his thirties.
At her signal, Kakashi also transformed into a man who looked younger.
Uchiha Yoh led Kakashi to the casino with practiced ease.
Kakashi saw that it was a casino and turned to take her away, but Uchiha Yoru beat him to it and stepped into the casino, so he had no choice but to follow her in.
Uchiha Ye exchanged all the money he had for chips, found a room that was fairly crowded, and sat down.
In no time at all, she had swept everyone out of the room, leaving Kakashi completely dumbfounded.
He was certain that Ye hadn't cheated, but the fact that he hadn't lost a single game was something he couldn't quite understand.
After winning, Uchiha Ye got up and went to a counter to exchange his chips for cash before leaving the casino.
"Kakashi-senpai, is this enough money to buy that house?"
Uchiha Yo's voice interrupted his thoughts, and he quickly came back to his senses and said, "That's enough. There should still be plenty left."
"Then I'll leave the money with you, senior. I'll keep it here for now."
"If you ever need money in the future, senior, you can come to me. I guarantee you'll win."
She said it with great confidence.
"Ye, you should know about the three forbidden ninja techniques, right?"
“Of course, but I’m not a ninja now!” Uchiha Ye immediately seized on the loophole and replied.
This made Kakashi hesitate, and after a long while, he finally managed to ask, "Yo, what's your opinion on matters between men and women?"
"Matters between men and women?"
"Kakashi-senpai, do you have someone you like?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye instantly became excited. A perpetually single guy had actually asked such a question! She couldn't wait to find out who that person was.
"No, I just wanted to ask what you think about this," Kakashi finally managed to say after a long pause.
"Kakashi-senpai, which type are you referring to? There are many different types," Uchiha Ye suddenly said with an "I understand" expression, his voice very low.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's face instantly turned bright red. Fortunately, his mask covered it. He understood the meaning behind Ye's words, but seeing her clear yet uncertain eyes, he fell silent.
It wasn't until they escorted Ye home and said their goodbyes that they spoke, which truly left Uchiha Ye feeling quite frustrated.
"What?! You only said half of what you wanted to say and then stopped. Can't you have any sense of public decency?"
She mentally cursed him and vowed to find out who Kakashi liked.
"Right, she'll be living downstairs from Kakashi from now on, how could she not find out?"
Uchiha Ye chuckled and returned to his house.
A few days later, she got the house key.
"Kakashi-senpai, you're incredibly efficient!"
She took the keys and casually offered a compliment.
"Kakashi-senpai, we'll be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me." She extended her hand to Kakashi.
Kakashi paused for a moment, then reached out his hand from his pocket and shook it.
"My hands are so soft!"
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly pulled back. Uchiha Ye didn't see anything wrong with it. At this moment, her mind was occupied by the new house, and it was definitely not to observe Kakashi.
With a new house, of course you need to buy things, the most important of which is a bed.
Uchiha Ye specially spent a lot of money to customize a comfortable and soft bed, so she wouldn't have to worry about rolling off when she slept, which made her very satisfied.
After finishing her training that day, she didn't let Itachi take her home. Instead, she went to the place where she had arranged to meet the person she had met before.
Three hours passed, well past the agreed time, and Fei still hadn't shown up.
"This person definitely doesn't want to admit it!" Uchiha Ye thought to himself.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
"I never expected that she would be tricked by an NPC. She'll remember this grudge."
"No way! Next time we meet, I'll turn you into a ghost."
Uchiha Ye made a harsh statement in his heart, then turned around and returned to his home, which was not far from here.
At this moment, Obito was also extremely frustrated. He had been looking forward to this meeting, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Uchiha Shisui as soon as he entered Konoha. Shisui kept chasing him and he had no chance to see her at all. He secretly held a grudge against her.
