Chapter 818: Brotherly Love

…For Uchiha Sasuke, his life became dark and gloomy a year ago.

Among the three family members in his family, his favorite person is his brother, followed by his mother, and finally his father.

Whenever he has free time, his brother will play with him. That is when he is happiest. The world of children is so simple.

…But all this has been shattered with the appearance of a bad woman.

About a year ago, he could clearly feel that his brother seemed to have changed.

Although his brother would still play with him if he had time, this time was greatly shortened. Most of the time, his brother put his mind on a bad woman.

Not only did he spend a lot of time with her, he even cooked lunch for her. The topic he talked about with his mother at home also changed from him to that bad woman.

For him, this is intolerable.

—That bad woman took away his brother! !

That is why, after learning that the bad woman would come to the banquet tonight, he was determined in his heart and vowed to snatch his brother back from the bad woman.

So when his brother paced back and forth at the door of his house waiting for the bad woman to arrive, he was secretly watching. Now that his brother left, he finally found a perfect opportunity.

However, when he finally saw the specific face of the bad woman in front of him, who was looking at him with interest with one hand on her chin, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

... He didn't expect this bad woman to be so beautiful.

Well... No wonder his brother was snatched away by the other party...

"I heard Itachi talk about you, are you Sasuke?"

Looking at the silly and cute little Sasuke in front of him, who was standing on his feet and supporting the table with both hands, Mu Qingzhi looked surprised.

"Yes, I am Sasuke, my brother's favorite brother!!"

With his hands on his hips, little Sasuke looked proud.

"You bad woman, you'd better..."

"You're rude. Call me sister."

Before the proud woman finished her words, Mu Qingzhi hit her with a knife without hesitation.

"I'm several years older than you. Call me sister."

"No, you're just a bad woman!!"

It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to dare to do it. After a moment of surprise, he covered his forehead with one hand. With the stubbornness and unwillingness of a child, the little Sasuke started to yell loudly.

"If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have no time to play with me. It's all because of you that you took my brother away!!"

"No, no, it wasn't me who took your brother away, but the teachers in the school."

Raising a finger in front of him, Mu Qingzhi seriously explained the science to the other party.

"For example, Mr. Kakashi, Mr. Nakamura, they are the ones who took your brother away, not me. You found the wrong person."

"...Eh?"

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Looking at the confused little Sasuke in front of her, Mu Qingzhi sincerely extended her hand to him.

"Come on, let's shake hands, and then we'll be friends."

Children are easy to deal with.

She has brought up the problem children, Zhisheng and Zhinu, not to mention a mere toddler version of the second pillar.

So, when Uchiha Izumi and Mitarashi Anko entered the room under the leadership of Uchiha Itachi, they just happened to see Mu Qingzhi sitting and clapping and Sasuke's backflipping with high spirits...

"Well, you're here?"

Noticing the arrival of several people, Mu Qingzhi turned to look at them with a proud look on his face.

"See? I told you, I'm good at taking care of kids."

Uchiha Itachi: "………"

Uchiha Izumi/Mitarashi Red Bean: "………"

………………………………………………

The banquet lasted until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening.

It was not until midnight that the crowd gathered at the Uchiha clan leader's residence slowly dispersed. Sasuke was still young and fell asleep on the tatami at around nine o'clock, but the others were fine.

They couldn't drink at their age, so there was no such thing as getting drunk.

After experiencing the whole banquet, Mu Qingzhi felt very good.

The only thing that made her feel a little uncomfortable was probably the loving gaze of Uchiha Mikoto who entered the room halfway. The way she looked at her was as if she was looking at her future daughter-in-law...

"I thought Sasuke would hate you."

On the way to send her back on his father's orders, Uchiha Itachi coughed lightly in his mouth and tried to take the initiative to find a topic.

"Well... it was indeed at the beginning."

Walking in the snow, Mu Qingzhi shrugged slightly.

"But children of this age are actually very easy to coax."

Although it was almost midnight, the snow did not mean to stop. Instead, it was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were pure white.

Originally, according to her intention, she, Hongdou and Izumi would go back together, but who knew that these two people were not martially ethical and sneaked away while she went back to get her things...

"Well, seeing that he likes you so much, I feel relieved."

As if he thought of something, Uchiha Itachi coughed in his mouth.

"By the way, I said he could do a backflip, right?"

"Yes, yes, Sasuke also told me that his brother has been teaching him to practice recently, saying that as long as he can practice well, he can become a very powerful ninja, so he is very excited to show me his practice results."

With empty eyes, Mu Qingzhi turned his head to look at the other party.

"Don't you feel guilty for deceiving a child like this?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

...He suddenly felt as if he was sold out by his brother.

He remembered that he should have told Sasuke that this was a secret between the two of them and could not be told to a third person.

...By the way, this should be the first time they met, right? Did he sell himself out without hesitation?

"Okay, just send him here, and you should hurry back as soon as possible, the snow seems to be getting heavier."

Stopped, Mu Qingzhi turned and looked at the other party.

"Good night, see you tomorrow."

"Uh, that umbrella..."

Subconsciously, Uchiha Itachi handed over the umbrella in his hand.

"You take it. I'm home now, so I don't need it. Otherwise, when you go back, are you going to get wet in the snow?"

With one hand covering her forehead, Mu Qingzhi complained.

"So I said, why didn't you take an extra umbrella when you went out?"

"Ahem...see you tomorrow."

With some embarrassment of having his thoughts exposed, Uchiha Itachi coughed in his mouth.

...Then he turned around stiffly.

At the right time, the girl's voice came from the wind and snow behind him.

"Well, see you tomorrow."
