Chapter 783: Love at First Sight

Hokage Office.

"Knock knock knock."

The door was knocked; Qianshou Feijian looked up toward it, his voice calm.

"Uncle, I'm here to deliver your meal~"

Xiao Lianyue entered carrying a Food Box, a happy smile spreading across her small face.

She feared Qianshou Feijian might have already eaten, so she prepared the dishes and delivered them before mealtime.

"Thank you."

Qianshou Feijian hadn't expected the little girl to come to his home and bring him a meal the very next day.

His heart warmed unintentionally.

This girl is better than that boy from his dream.

Lian Ye spends the whole day grumbling while delivering meals; there's no docile Lianyue executive.

"Uncle, eat while it's hot."

Xiao Lianyue tiptoed, placed the Food Box on the table, and took out a variety of delicacies.

"I don't know what you like, so I made a few extra portions."

Saying that, she thoughtfully set the bowl and chopsticks in front of Feijian.

Seeing the table brimming with food, Qianshou Feijian felt moved.

Just looking at it took a long time.

Most likely, he had been preparing lunch since he got up.

"Have you eaten?"

He looked at the girl before him, his tone softening a bit.

"No, I'll eat back home..."

Xiao Lianyue said shyly.

She hurried to deliver the meal as soon as it was ready, planning to go home to eat after delivering.

Upon hearing that, Qianshou Feijian felt even more moved.

In his dream, that bastard boy always waited until after he was full before bringing him food.

Sometimes he even forgot to cook.

He could never compare with the little girl!

As the saying goes, comparing people ends in death, comparing goods ends in them being discarded.

"There's so much food I can't finish alone; let's eat together."

Qianshou Feijian helped serve the rice.

"Uncle, am I disturbing your work by doing this?"

Xiao Lianyue's face showed hesitation.

Although Uncle isn't the village's Hokage, the Hokage himself has no time for administrative affairs.

It's always been Uncle who helps.

She worries that eating here might affect him.

Seeing the girl's concern, Qianshou Feijian shook his head, "No, don't worry, eat as you like."

The two dined in the office.

After the meal.

"Uncle, I'm going home to wash the dishes, I won't disturb your work any more."

Xiao Lianyue cleared the table and jogged away.

Watching the little girl's departing silhouette, Qianshou Feijian's mouth twitched into a faint smile.

Although it differs greatly from the dream scene, this feeling is truly pleasant.

It seems agreeing to let his older brother adopt her was indeed a wise choice!

In the dream, it took him a long time to acknowledge Lian Ye, but in reality it only took a day and a night.

The speed was so fast it even amazed him.

A few months later.

"Lianyue, Ninja School starts soon; you should go to school then."

Qianshou Feijian thought she had reached the age for school.

"Clang!"

Hearing that while washing dishes, Xiao Lianyue dropped the bowl, shattering it into pieces.

She looked at Feijian with reddened eyes, her voice plaintive.

"Uncle, are you abandoning me?"

She said, and tears burst from her eyes uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qianshou Feijian felt a sudden pain in his chest and instinctively crouched down to comfort her.

"I haven't rejected you."

"It's just that you've reached school age, so you truly should attend school."

"No!"

Xiao Lianyue buried her head on his chest and shook her head.

"I don't want to go to school; I want to stay home and cook for you!"

She thought that after school, no one would bring meals to Uncle, and he would have to eat the Soldier's Ration Pills kept in the drawer.

"Don't cry."

Qianshou Feijian gently stroked the girl's silky hair.

"When you get out of school, you can also cook for me."

"But..."

Little Lian Yue wanted to speak but held back.

"Be good, listen."

The girl obediently answered with a single voice and did not mention skipping school again.

"Finish the milk and then go to sleep."

Seeing the girl return to normal, Qianshou Feijian stood up and brought a cup of hot milk.

"Thank you, Uncle~"

She drank it all without any guard.

Watching Little Lian Yue return to her room, Qianshou Feijian stood in the living room, torn.

Qianshou Feijian does not want to experiment on the girl any longer, but in the dream his experiment gave that kid an enhanced physique.

Who knows, it might actually be reproducible!

In the cruel Ninja World, strength is the true path.

He believes that girl will someday understand his good intentions.

Dreams are ultimately different from reality.

In the dream, his experiments on Lian Ye were purely driven by a desire to study the Uchiha.

But in reality, he only wants the girl to become stronger.

That's all.

Late at night, Qianshou Feijian carried the unconscious Lian Yue to the Laboratory.

Heijue, hidden in the shadows, wore a bewildered expression.

"Qianshou Feijian can't be that beastly, can he?!"

It learned from Bai Jue that Qianshou Feijian had taken in a child of the Uchiha.

Such an explosive and abnormal thing.

It definitely wants to see for itself.

As a result, it saw the scene just now.

If it didn't missee, that little girl had completely lost consciousness.

And Qianshou Feijian's actions are worth pondering.

"Tsk tsk, never expected Qianshou Feijian to be this kind of person; seems you can know someone's face but not their heart!"

Heijue's attention has always been on the reincarnations of Indra and Asura.

He hasn't paid much attention to others.

Never did he think Qianshou Feijian was a beast-hearted monster with a human face.

He wouldn't even spare a girl of a few years old.

"Tsk tsk, if Madara Uchiha found out, who knows what he'd think."

I'm really looking forward to it more and more.

As long as it doesn't affect the mother's resurrection plan, it does enjoy watching the excitement.

"A Fei, start monitoring him from today."

"Understood."

The Ninja School opening ceremony.

Senju Hashirama stood on the stage, brainwashing with the Will of Fire, while Qianshou Feijian scanned the children below.

His gaze lingered on Lian Yue for a moment.

Then his eyes locked onto another child.

He saw that child occasionally glancing at the Lian Yue standing ahead, and as they kept looking, their face suddenly flushed.

His mood instantly became less pleasant.

Good kid, daring to set his sights on his adopted daughter!

Looks like we need to investigate the child's family background…

"Zhi Cun Tuan Cang, what are you looking at?"

Yuanfei Rizhan noticed his companion's gaze lingering somewhere and curiously approached to ask.

Saying that, he followed his companion's line of sight.

A little girl stood ahead.

Although only a silhouette, her looks shouldn't be bad.

No wonder Zhi Cun Tuan Cang couldn't look away.

"N-no, I wasn't looking at anything."

Usually aloof Zhi Cun Tuan Cang had his secret exposed by his companion, and his face flushed instantly.

"Hehe, do you like her?"

Yuanfei Rizhan, seeing this, stepped forward and said cheekily.

"No, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's voice unintentionally rose, and those around subconsciously turned to look at them.

Including Lian Yue, who was standing ahead, turned to look back.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang saw that cute face, and his eyes instantly settled on the girl, unable to look away.

He even ignored the probing gazes of the people around him.

So cute, I really like it.

Perhaps this is love at first sight.

Qianshou Feijian saw the situation, and his face turned black in an instant.

Damn little brat!

Don't let me know which family you're from!
