Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 27: Another Confession

"Twenty or so?" A hint of surprise appeared in Hyuga Kaede's eyes. "I remember at this time last year, there were at least forty or fifty."

"How come so much has been lost in just one year?"

Shen Yue Xingyun sighed, "Graduation season is breakup season, didn't you know?"

"After last year's graduation exams, many people joined the ninja team, and we saw each other less and less. Many of us broke up."

Hyuga Kaede: "Are you willing to part with it?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "What's there to be reluctant about?"

"It's just a few dozen girlfriends, what's the big deal?"

"But you are." Shingetsu Seiun looked at Hinata Kaede and spoke his mind.

"I originally thought that you would be among the people who broke up with me."

"I didn't expect you to keep quiet about it."

Hyuga Kaede's smile remained unchanged: "Do you really want me to break up with you?"

Shenyue Xingyun shook her head and said, "No, that's not the case."

"I just didn't expect it."

"Of all my girlfriends and ex-girlfriends, you are the most talented and the strongest."

"Objectively speaking, it is also the most beautiful."

"And you come from the Hyuga clan. Someone as outstanding as you would actually be willing to be a womanizer and loser's girlfriend. Sometimes I just don't understand it."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kaede smiled and extended her hand.

Her fair and slender fingers gently stroked Shen Yuexingyun's face, her eyes filled with a hint of infatuation.

"What's so hard to understand?"

"I'm just an ordinary woman."

Shingetsu Seiun: "No, you are not an ordinary woman; you are from the prestigious Hyuga clan."

"What a load of bull!" Hyuga Kaede blurted out, her dissatisfaction undisguised.

Fortunately, there is a soundproof barrier, so there is no need to worry about others hearing it.

Hyuga Kaede continued, "If I could, I would rather be a woman without a family."

"That way I won't have to stay in that oppressive family, thinking about killing people every day."

"Then I won't have to be pointed at and criticized by those good-for-nothings from the main family, and I won't have to run around doing their bidding!"

Shenyue Xingyun remained silent.

He looked at the headband tightly tied around Hyuga Kaede's forehead and understood why she had suddenly become so angry.

A caged bird.

The culprit who imprisons all members of the Hyuga branch family.

To break through it requires extraordinary power.

Seemingly sensing the gaze, Hyuga Kaede looked up and met Shingetsu Seiun's pitying yet compassionate look.

She suddenly chuckled.

"never mind."

"Why am I telling you all this?"

"We rarely see each other, let's not talk about that."

"Nebula, do you remember?"

"I love you. As long as you don't break up with me, I will love you forever and ever."

"Unless I'm dead."

"Pah, pah, pah!" Shenyue Xingyun hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"It's getting late, I should go."

"There are people waiting for me outside."

As he spoke, he got up to tidy up the bookshelf, but he was pulled down by the foot halfway up and sat back down on the ground.

Shingetsu Seiun's expression changed as he watched Hyuga Kaede's smile suddenly turn dangerous.

"What are you trying to do now?!"

Hyuga Kaede: "Let that person wait a little longer."

"Spend another hour with me."

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

An hour and a half later.

The bamboo house by the river is where Shinzuki Seiun and Nohara Rin learned and exchanged medical ninjutsu.

Nohara Rin had been waiting here for a long time.

She stood at the door of the bamboo house, gazing at the calm water in front of her, lost in thought.

The sunset cast a red glow on the water, and occasionally a fish would surface, creating shimmering ripples, just like her heart, rising and falling.

I don't know how much time passed in a daze, but then I heard the sound of footsteps approaching quickly in the distance.

Nohara Rin turned her head and saw Shinzuki Seiun.

The boy, whose face was slightly flushed and whose brilliance was even more dazzling than the sunset, seemed to have rushed over.

"Lin".

"Have you been waiting long?"

"I just arrived too," Nohara Rin answered instinctively. Only after saying that did she realize that she had been waiting for almost an hour.

But this is not important.

The important thing is what she has to say today. And the questions that need to be clarified.

"nebula."

"today…"

"What happened today was my fault," Shinzuki Seiun interrupted Nohara Rin's question.

He looked down into Nohara Rin's uneasy eyes, his tone sincere.

"Lin".

"I know what you want to ask."

"You want to ask me when I mastered the Palm Cultivation Technique."

"You want to ask me why I pretended not to know medical ninjutsu, but instead asked you."

"There's only one reason." He paused, his eyes filled with utmost sincerity as he looked at Nohara Rin.

"I like you."

I like you very, very much.

Shen Yue Xingyun did not explain that he knew nothing about medical ninjutsu and skills other than the Sage Art, and such an answer did not conform to the logic of ordinary people.

No one can master the Palm Immortal Technique without knowing how to suture or clean a wound. It sounds as absurd as going to the battlefield to fight before even starting school.

Therefore, he chose to feint to the east while attacking in the west, and to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.

In the sunset, the boy's sincere confession struck Nohara Rin's heart like a heavy hammer.

The wind is blowing, the clouds are moving, and the fish are swimming.

Nohara Rin was lost in thought.

At the entrance of the bamboo house, the girl stood frozen in place, a moment of bewilderment flashing in her wide eyes.

To be precise, he was completely stunned by Shenyue Xingyun's unconventional confession.

Three seconds later, a blush, more vibrant than the sky, rose on the girl's face.

"Nebula, what are you saying again!" Nohara Rin gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, twisting it incessantly until her knuckles turned white.

She felt something thumping in her chest, as if it wanted to burst out.

Shenyue Xingyun confessed his feelings to her again!

This time, it wasn't in front of everyone.

This time, there was no provocation from Obito or any teachers watching.

There were only the two of them, only a red glow in the sky, and only a fish blowing bubbles in a corner.

Looking at the flustered Nohara Rin, Shinzuki Seiun didn't know if his choice was right or wrong.

Like I said before, he's not good at pursuing girls.

In his past life, he spent all his savings and took out loans, but he couldn't win over the girl he wanted to spend his life with. In the end, he only managed to win her over with the help of great luck.

In this life, although he has gained a lot more experience in interacting with girls, his approach to dating mainly relies on his looks.

He didn't have a clear understanding of his own ability to manipulate women in relationships, and he wasn't sure if he could break through Nohara Rin's psychological defenses.

He decided to take a gamble.

"I said, Lin, I like you."

I liked you from the first moment I saw you.

The evening breeze blew by, waking the bewildered Nohara Rin.

Looking at the Divine Moon Nebula, she asked the crux of the matter: "What exactly do you like about me?"

"And Nebula, you...you have so many girlfriends, why are you still coming to me?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "I like you."

"I admire your strength and courage in persisting in saving your companions despite your fear."

I love your gentle and warm heart, like the sunshine.

I love everything about you.
