Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 407: Pretend it never happened

As dawn broke, Sakura woke up from her sleep.

"Ino, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Yoichi feigned grogginess, as if he had just woken up, then opened his eyes with a look of utter surprise and quickly asked, "Sakura? What are you doing here? Where's Ino?"

"I also want to ask, why you? What are you doing here?"

Sakura suppressed her anger. She was past the age of impulsive violence, but what happened today was still unbearable for her. Without a reasonable explanation, she would never leave this place, even if it was Ino's man.

Then Uchiha Yoichi spoke up, essentially telling Sakura the truth.

"This is Ino's and my room. Ino said she wanted to talk to you last night, so she went to your place. Then she came back alone in the middle of the night. I thought Ino had finished chatting with you and came back to sleep, so why was it you?"

Uchiha Yangyi looked extremely innocent, but he was the one who caused last night's scene, and he even recorded a very clear memory using a specially made nano night camera.

"Is this not my room?"

Although it was a question, Sakura quickly realized that this was not her room at all; the scenery outside and the facilities inside were completely different.

So you're saying she went to the wrong place?

Sakura's anger suddenly burst forth, and she didn't know what to do. If she were the one who had been wronged, given her temperament, she would definitely take revenge and vent her anger no matter what.

But now it's her own fault for going to the wrong room. It must have started earlier; she soaked in the hot spring too long and, feeling drowsy, went to the wrong room.

"How could this happen?"

Sakura was filled with sadness. It turned out that she had gone to the wrong room and even willingly lay down in Uchiha Yoichi's bed.

Filled with resentment, Sakura had no one to vent her anger on; it was her own mistake of accidentally going into the wrong room that led to this situation.

"Sakura, what are you going to do now?"

Uchiha Yoichi feigned a look of wanting to comfort and feeling wronged, then took his clothes and put them on.

However, upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but glare angrily at Uchiha Yoichi. But what she saw next made her gasp and turn her head away.

After Uchiha Yoichi finished dressing, he said to Sakura, "Get dressed first. Things need to be resolved. You can't even talk to her like this."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi went next door. Sakura, upon hearing this, slowly suppressed the inexplicable anger in her heart. After Uchiha Yoichi left, she slowly lifted the blanket and saw what had been left behind last night.

"Sasuke-kun"

Sakura sadly put on her yukata. Last night, her yukata had been taken off and thrown aside, so it hadn't been damaged much.

After Sakura put on her yukata and tidied up the bedding, Uchiha Yoichi came over from next door.

He sat down about two meters away from Sakura, then sighed and asked, "Sakura, what were you planning to do last night?"

"I have no idea."

Sakura answered while kneeling, her head bowed and eyes closed, her hands clenched into fists, pressed tightly against her thighs, revealing her inner tension and confusion.

"You must have been drunk last night to get lost. Why don't we just pretend nothing happened?"

Uchiha Yoichi pretended to be a little upset and continued, "To be honest, I don't want Ino to know about this. You're her good friend, and if Ino finds out, she'll probably break up with me. I really want to marry her."

Upon hearing this, Sakura also thought of Sasuke. She didn't want to deceive Sasuke, but this was something she had done unintentionally, and she had even lost her body. If she were to be honest with Sasuke...

Sakura even felt that Sasuke and Sarada were right in front of her, accusing her, their mother, of being immoral.

"Let's keep this a secret. I don't want anyone to know about it either..."

Sakura looked up, tears welling in her eyes, her rims still red, and said to Uchiha Yoichi; "Now this is the only choice I have. The best choice is to keep it to myself and never tell anyone."

"This is the only way. I'm so sorry about last night. If I were a little more sober, I might have recognized you weren't Ino. I'm sorry, Sakura."

After Uchiha Yoichi gained a huge advantage, he put on a remorseful expression as if it was all his fault. This actually made Sakura's feelings for Uchiha Yoichi improve a little.

She clearly went into the wrong room, which caused all of this to happen.

"No, it's not your fault. Let's pretend this never happened. Just don't tell anyone."

Sakura felt distressed and her body felt weak and numb, but she still forced herself to stand up. She couldn't help but wonder what she had gone through last night to be so weak.

"I'm going back now, Ino."

"She shouldn't be awake yet. Ino has been sleeping very soundly lately. If she hasn't come looking for you yet, she should be fine. It's just that you're looking for an excuse, Sakura."

Uchiha Yoichi spoke up to remind him.
