Chapter 287 Success
At the round conference table, Lone Star sat in one of the seats, listening to Pain speak.
As for the meeting taking this form, it's entirely her doing; why should she compromise herself when she has the means?
"The first phase is now complete. We will now begin the second phase: collecting the Tailed Beasts..."
"Her husband is really handsome." Gu Xing rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at him without any attempt to hide her gaze.
Hidan couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Lone Star, can't you tone it down a bit?"
Lone Star pouted, "What do you know?"
"And could you please zip up your clothes? I won't be tempted to join the evil cult. Forget about it!"
Hidan's lips twitched. If he hadn't noticed the leader glancing in their direction from time to time, he would have definitely argued back.
What does the leader like about this woman? Besides her pretty face, she's utterly useless, Hidan thought to himself, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Actually, when he first learned that Lone Star was with the leader, he felt like the sky had fallen. He was clearly younger and seemed to be a better match for the leader. They just met a little later. How come he had no chance at all? He was so unwilling to accept it.
Seeing Hidan glancing at her every now and then, Lone Star raised an eyebrow and asked directly, "Hidan, are you talking badly about me?"
"You know that?" Hidan blurted out instinctively, then quickly covered his mouth in realization.
Lone Star's fists instantly cracked loudly.
"Can you two be a little quieter? Don't disturb me while I'm making my clay elephant," Deidara said somewhat irritably.
Sasori of the Red Sand stopped carving, looked up at them, and his warning was very clear.
White Zetsu looked on with amusement, while Black Zetsu's eyes darkened slightly. "Such a good organization has been turned into this. Luckily, he found a new partner."
Only Kakuzu, Kisame, Konan, and Juzo Biwa were there to listen and offer their support. Obito hadn't yet come out into the open, and those who know the reason understand.
"This concludes today's meeting."
After saying this, Nagato stood up, walked to Lone Star's side, picked him up, and carried him out of the meeting room. The other Akatsuki members were already used to this.
"Hoshino... what were you talking about with Hidan just now?" Nagato led her to a room and began to ask his question.
"N-nothing..." Gu Xing looked at him innocently.
"But I clearly saw you glancing at him all the time." Nagato said with a jealous look. Don't think he didn't know what Hidan was thinking. They were both men, and he understood that kind of look all too well.
The key is that this little rascal is completely unaware, which makes him feel very threatened. He doesn't want someone to poach his partner.
Lonely Star blinked and suddenly realized that her man was jealous, not because he discovered that she was sneaking peeks at him while he was in a meeting.
Before Lone Star could answer, Nagato's kiss landed.
Lone Star pushed away the kiss that was being given even more force, and finally gave up and chose to enjoy it.
An ambiguous atmosphere was rising in the room. Their clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the bed, seemingly unable to bear the weight, kept creaking and groaning; I was afraid it would suddenly collapse...
The next day, when Gu Xing woke up, she admired her man's physique and said, "Nagato, when did you start secretly working out?"
"Are you satisfied?" Nagato lowered his head and kissed her, his gaze unfathomable.
"It's...it's alright!" Lone Star licked his lips, saying something he didn't mean.
"Is that so?" Nagato chuckled, grabbing the small hand that was wandering over his body and leaning in.
"Xing'er, will you marry me?" Changmen took out a ring and put it on Gu Xing's hand. The star-shaped red gemstone on the ring was extremely dazzling.
"Who proposes at a time like this!" Gu Xing blushed and tried to take the ring off her hand.
Changmen stopped her, looking at her with deep affection, "Xing'er... I love you, will you marry me?"
"That depends on your performance." Gu Xing raised his chin and kissed Changmen on the cheek.
Nagato paused for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed those small lips.
Before long, the bed began to creak under the strain again, which shows how intense it was.
As night fell, Changmen dressed Guxing in the clothes he had bought. He took Guxing's hand and led him to the highest point of the building. Along the way, the roadside was filled with roses of various colors, and inside the red roses, lights twinkled, like stars twinkling.
Such a dreamlike proposal scene left Gu Xing wondering how Nagato came up with it. The key point was that she didn't notice anything amiss, and where did he find the time and so many roses? Where did he get them from?
But we can ask about these things later, for now...
"You wretched guy, you could have proposed properly." Lonely Star punched him in annoyance.
Changmen grasped Gu Xing's two small hands and lowered his eyes, "Xing'er, I'm just afraid you won't agree. You're more likely to listen to me in bed."
Lonely Star blushed instantly. She was glad no one was around, otherwise she would have been mortified if someone had heard her.
Seeing Gu Xing's shy expression, Changmen pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
The two kissed amidst a sea of roses, when fireworks burst in the sky, falling like countless stars, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
This was the first time Xiao members had seen a marriage proposal, and also the first time they had helped set up a marriage proposal.
Deidara, filled with envy, studied the plan. When he returned to Iwagakure, he would arrange an even bigger and more beautiful proposal venue for Qingrou. He was sure Qingrou would be overjoyed and accept his proposal, agreeing to marry him. He thought to himself with delight.
Hidan, looking like he was looking for trouble, said, "The leader didn't spend all the organization's money on roses, did he?"
"You're overthinking it. The chief planted all these roses himself," Xiao Nan explained.
Actually, she didn't expect that Nagato would spend so much time planting these roses, and that he would cultivate them all by himself without asking anyone else for help.
Seeing them together made Xiaonan very happy. She looked up at the sky and said, "Yahiko... I missed you."
Kakuzu recalled the first time she met Lone Star and felt a pang of emotion. "Time flies so fast. She was just a little girl a moment ago, and now she's all grown up."
As for the little girl being with the leader, he wasn't initially optimistic about it, but as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
Sasori of the Red Sand has little interest in romance; he's just that Lone Star gave him a list of puppet-making tasks and promised him something, and he's eagerly awaiting that day to complete it.
Lone Star saved the life of Juzo Biwa during a mercenary mission to the Land of Water. Juzo naturally hoped that she could be happy and sincerely wished her well.
Kisame was the last member to join Akatsuki. He joined because of Lone Star, who always saw the shadow of Mo Shuang in her. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he heard that she was with a photographer.
After the meeting, White Zetsu separated from Black Zetsu. He even helped set up the proposal venue. It seems that Obito is also proposing recently, so he can pass on some experience to him.
Black Zetsu watched this scene from the shadows, his heart filled with resentment.
At that moment, a demonic aura emanated from him, swirling around him and whispering seductively, "Do you want to regain control of the situation?"
"I can lend you a hand."
