Chapter 32 "Friends"
Eyouling took Gaara back to her residence. Those people were already asleep. She and Gaara sneaked in, turned on the lights and found out the things they had collected over the years, and wanted to share them with him. Pick these up and tell Gaara about them. .biquge
Gaara had never seen it before and didn't quite understand these strange-looking things. He picked up a video game console and studied it for a while, with a curious expression on his face.
E looked at Gaara and smiled softly, feeling sad and happy in his heart. Now he still trusts the world, feels that someone loves him, and will explore unknown things like a child.
"What is this?" Gaara turned to look at E curiously and asked softly.
Eya laughed, "I don't know much about video game consoles, but I can teach Gaara a little bit!"
E's big eyes stared closely at Gaara's eyes, as if stars were twinkling. Now the heaviness on her body has receded, and she has become that child less than 6 years old again. The smile she raised has made her face look dull because of the baby fat. Like a bun.
Apart from Yashamaru, this was the first time Gaara saw someone who smiled at him. She looked really happy, and this happiness even affected him.
Gaara also raised the corners of his mouth, smiled softly and said, "Okay!"
E tilted her head and slowly approached Gaara. The smile at the corner of her mouth raised slightly. She took the video game console from his hand and pressed the start button. After a while, she turned it on. There was only one button on the black and white video game console. Two games, but they are already pretty good.
Gaara saw something extra on the black screen, and curiously moved his face towards it. Gaara's body froze slightly, with an inexplicable blush on his face, but he still said in his usual tone, "This game is relatively simple, let's compare it." How’s the score?”
Gaara nodded, looked up at E happily and said, "Okay, will you teach me how to play first?"
E chuckled and nodded, moving her hands quickly, operating the interface while explaining to Gaara how to control it.
Gaara had never played before and didn't understand the rules very well. He was always winning in the past, but he learned quickly, and after that, the two of them won and lost.
The two have been playing for a long time, and Ei teases Gaara with all kinds of tricks. Gaara looks at her helplessly and doesn't say anything, but Ei laughs more and more wildly. A dissatisfied customer actually came to knock on the door to complain. He quickly turned off the light and looked at Gaara with a mischievous wink. The man knocked on it several times but got no response, and finally left.
Under the moonlight, Hui's eyes were extremely bright and beautiful, and her smile was also very gentle. Her whole person gave him a different feeling. He felt very comfortable, even a little warm and happy. Was this his friend?
The time spent with Gaara was so enjoyable that Ei forgot all her worries, her whole body was relaxed, and she couldn't control her sleepiness at all, and fell asleep in a hazy state.
When E woke up, it was already broad daylight. Her heartbeat continued to accelerate and she sank inch by inch. Gaara was no longer there...
"Click." There was a sound of opening the door. Hui turned to look, and the corners of her deep mouth raised a smile again, "Where have you been?"
Gaara chuckled and said, "Go back home and pick up something."
E got up from the ground, "Gaara, do you want to go out for a walk?"
The smile on the corner of Gaara's mouth froze, and his eyes were filled with loneliness. E could think of what he was thinking now.
"Gaara, do you know how to transform?" E stepped forward, grabbed Gaara, and closed the door.
"Transformation technique? I know it, but I don't know what its use is." Gaara replied calmly.
"Okay, Gaara, you can use the transformation technique to look like this." E said and also used the transformation technique to look like a strange boy.
Gaara looked at her without saying a word, and finally surrendered in E's expectant and hopeful eyes. A stream of sand began to surround him. E looked at him blankly, but didn't see him forming a seal. Then he became like that boy.
"So powerful? You don't even need to form seals?" E said in surprise, feeling only excitement and joy in her heart. She is indeed worthy of Gaara.
With a bang, E turned into her original self again, smiled at Gaara, her eyes flickered, and suddenly took Gaara's hand and ran outside.
Gaara was pulled out with a surprised look on his face. He opened his mouth to say something, and his eyes fell on the hands the two held each other. He sighed silently. In fact, E Youling's hand was also warm...
……
The two of them walked down the noisy street, surrounded by vendors who came to sell things in Sunagakure. The various products attracted a lot of people, and everyone was happily choosing what they liked.
Gaara was still very cramped at first and didn't want to go to crowded places. E kept holding Gaara's hand. When he was still cramped, she squeezed his hand silently, with that faint smile still on her face. But he didn't look back at Gaara.
Gaara was very resistant to this place, but in his heart he vaguely didn't want to offend Hui Youling's kindness, and it seemed that no one had seen him this time, and there was no longer the disgust and hatred in the past, and he wouldn't cause panic when he appeared. It didn't seem that annoying. This was the first time he... walked into the crowd like a normal person.
E obviously felt that the hand he was holding was no longer so stiff, and he chuckled and looked back at Gaara, "Is there anything Gaara you want to eat?"
Gaara paused for a moment, but lowered his eyes but did not answer E You Ling. E You Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said unconsciously, "It's my first time coming to Sunagakure, how about trying the grilled beef tongue?"
Gaara raised his eyes to look at E, his eyes flashed across E Youling's confused expression, and finally nodded and said, "Okay."
E smiled and took Gaara to the grilled beef tongue stall.
Gaara still seems unwilling to deal with those people, and E doesn't force it. She handles all the negotiations, and she doesn't intend to change anything, because once she leaves, these people don't know how they will treat Gaara.
"Here, the grilled beef tongue you like!" E handed the thing to Gaara, but Gaara didn't take it this time. He looked at E in confusion, "How do you know I like to eat this?"
"Because we are companions, and I know you very well." Eya looked at Gaara with a chuckle, but actually he was saying in his heart, 'Because I like you...'
Seeing him thinking about it for a while and then accepting it, I felt an inexplicable warmth in my heart.
After that, the two of them bought a lot of food. Gaara was stuffed with a lot of things by E. He didn't know where E got the money, but he never cared about the price.
But after walking for a while, Ei stopped for a long time at a stall selling prickly pears, with excitement in his eyes. Gaara looked on and smiled helplessly.
"You come and choose the cactus you like!" Ei pulled Gaara down and asked him to find the one he likes.
The stall owner also began to recommend his own cactus, "My cactus is the prettiest, and it's especially easy to grow in Sunagakure. If you like it, I can make it cheaper. Take a look..."
Gaara looked at the stall owner who was talking to him and suddenly felt at a loss.
"Choose one." E interrupted the stall owner and just looked at Gaara with a smile.
Gaara paused, his eyes fell on the cactus, he pointed at a cactus and said, "This is it."
"Okay." E didn't say much, and paid the stall owner directly, then handed the cactus to Gaara, and warned, "Take good care of it, don't water it too much, just water it occasionally."
"...Hmm...Yeah" Gaara responded a little at a loss.
"Let's go." Hui stood up and wanted to leave this place.
Gaara was also about to leave, but he was surrounded by several Sunagakure ninjas. His eyes were filled with alertness and sadness. He silently took a step forward and protected Ei behind him. Ei could feel the sand floating around him.
