Chapter 251: She understands men too well

While lost in thought, Rikka did not notice that this lounge chair had already been "preempted" by someone.

Because of the angle, the back of the lounge chair just blocked Rikka's line of sight, making her unable to see the scene on the lounge chair.

After Rikka reached the side of the lounge chair, she sat down directly.

"Ugh..."

Instantly, the wonderful touch made Rikka's face startled; Rikka, who had suddenly come back to her senses, looked down, but only saw Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was exposing his strong upper body with a confused expression.

Perhaps because he was too tired from planning the ninja world recently, Mizunuki Ryosuke had actually fallen asleep on the lounge chair of the hot spring hotel.

But just as he was drifting off to sleep, a sudden "attack" caused him to wake up abruptly.

Mizunuki Ryosuke, who had suffered a "heavy blow" to his abdomen, subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up, but his reckless movement caused Rikka, who had accidentally sat on him, to lose her balance.

And so...

The plump touch in his arms made Mizunuki Ryosuke somewhat dazed; looking at the delicate face close at hand, Ryosuke, who had just woken up, felt a hint of embarrassment in his heart.

"I'm, I'm sorry, Aunt Rikka!!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke hurriedly supported the beautiful young woman's slender waist, helped her up, and then hurriedly got up to apologize to Mizunuki Rikka.

"It's, it's okay..."

Rikka's face was flushed, and the young woman's gentle voice also became somewhat flustered.

This matter really couldn't be blamed on Ryosuke; he was lying there sleeping properly, it was Rikka herself who didn't pay attention, not only making both of them somewhat embarrassed but also disturbing Ryosuke's sweet dream.

"I'm sorry, Ryosuke."

Rikka reacted instantly and began to carefully check Ryosuke's body to prevent her carelessness from leaving Ryosuke with any injuries.

"It's okay, Aunt Rikka."

Rikka's palms had a bit more plumpness and fleshiness compared to Ren's, which also made Rikka's hands softer.

When Rikka touched Ryosuke, the feeling it brought him was completely different from Tsunade and Ren.

"I'm fine, Aunt Rikka."

Mizunuki Ryosuke hurriedly comforted Rikka.

"That's good..."

Seeing that Ryosuke was really fine, Rikka also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sit down first, Ryosuke..."

Rikka patted the spot beside her, signaling Ryosuke to sit down and talk.

The position of this lounge chair was very spacious, enough to accommodate Mizunuki Ryosuke lying down, so it could naturally easily seat two people.

Mizunuki Ryosuke sat down happily, but due to the embarrassing incident that just happened, the distance between the two was half a meter.

The two were silent for a long time, and for a moment, Rikka didn't know what to say.

It was Ryosuke who broke the embarrassment first.

"Aunt Rikka, you seem to be somewhat restless; has something happened?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked Mizunuki Rikka beside him softly; although his attitude was no different from his usual gentleness, it carried a hint of sincerity from the bottom of his heart.

In his heart, he undoubtedly valued Rikka and Ren extremely highly.

Even in the ninja world, Ryosuke could easily treat all living beings as chess pieces and then smile as he sent them to their deaths.

But for the "family" he truly defined in his heart, Ryosuke valued them very much.

So he could see that although Rikka didn't say it, she had been hiding a sense of anxiety deep in her heart.

Regarding Ryosuke's inquiry, Rikka didn't know where to start for a moment.

She turned her eyes and looked at this junior who was excessively excellent; her beautiful eyes were full of complexity.

It must be said that Rikka couldn't find any faults in Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Although she was just a woman, Rikka knew clearly that Ryosuke's strength was the best in all of Kirigakure, although she didn't know how strong Ryosuke really was.

But she could be sure that Ryosuke's strength was at least above that of her late husband, the Third Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki.

Not only that, under the governance of the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure could only barely sustain itself.

But in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands, Kirigakure was unprecedentedly united, climbing step by step, and full of prosperity.

And in terms of appearance, Mizunuki Ryosuke's appearance had surpassed 99% of the people in the entire ninja world; even those who were picky about appearance would absolutely not have any opinions about Ryosuke's appearance.

Although he achieved success at a young age, Mizunuki Ryosuke was still gentle to others and always maintained a gentle and elegant posture.

Whether it was status, identity, strength, or ability, there were not many people in the entire ninja world who could compare with Mizunuki Ryosuke in a single item, let alone these added together, which had already pushed Ryosuke's charm to a level that could be called "perfect."

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke's handsome face, Rikka's eyes became more and more complex.

If she had met Mizunuki Ryosuke when she was young, she would probably have been crazy about Ryosuke, right?

Even now, she...

Rikka felt her heart beating violently in her chest and was somewhat speechless.

She knew very well that there was only one Mizunuki Ryosuke in the ninja world, but there could be many "Mizunuki Rens."

Although Ren was naturally beautiful and had a flower-like appearance.

But no matter how excellent her appearance was, compared to her destined other half, Ryosuke, it still didn't count for much.

Ryosuke and Ren had established a relationship for more than two years.

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's halo, the lives of the mother and daughter were even better than when the Third Mizukage was alive.

As Ryosuke became more and more excellent, Rikka's heart became more and more worried.

And the reason for her worry was precisely because—Ryosuke was too excellent!

So excellent that Rikka was a little afraid, when would such a perfect Mizunuki Ryosuke disappear without a sound?

Although she didn't doubt Ryosuke's feelings for Ren, Rikka also knew that the ninja world was vast, and there were always a few women excellent enough to make all men look at them.

Rich experience made Rikka understand too many things; she understood men too well...

By then, what if...

The more she thought in this direction, the more worried Rikka became.

But how could she directly express such worries to Ryosuke?

Hearing Ryosuke's inquiry, Rikka was silent for a long time; it wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but that she didn't know how to say it at all.

Ryosuke looked at the beautiful woman's gentle eyes full of sadness and seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Don't worry, Aunt Rikka."

"You and Ren are both my family; no matter what, I will never leave you."

"Because in my opinion, you are more important than the current world."

"For you, I can do anything."

Mizunuki Ryosuke stared into the young woman's eyes and said very seriously; the sincerity in his eyes was harder than the hardest diamond in the world.

Looking at Ryosuke's eyes, Rikka was startled, because she felt that Ryosuke at this moment seemed to have mind-reading skills!

Although Ryosuke didn't say it explicitly, Rikka knew that Ryosuke had guessed what she was thinking.

Forcibly suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, Rikka suddenly felt a sense of peace, because the sincerity in Ryosuke's heart had already penetrated the chests of the two and reached the other's heart.

"Ryosuke, no matter what we go through, Ren and I will not leave you."

"Even if one day, the family needs to make room for others, you must tell me in time."

"I will help you persuade Ren."

"A man like you, how could he be limited by the mortal world."

Rikka said with a smile, and her words seemed to have other deep meanings about everything...
