Thinking about Yan's personality, the elders could understand.
However, they also wondered if the Patriarch was saying this on purpose for them to hear.
Was the Patriarch using this as an excuse to change the way the clan trained its members?
Before the marriage was set, the elders had the right to interfere.
But now, they couldn't, or the Uchiha would oppose it.
As said before, since the marriage was set, Hinata was half an Uchiha, and they couldn't use the Hyuga clan's standards on her anymore.
"Patriarch, since the marriage is set and Uchiha Yan has made these requests, why don't we go along with it and change Hinata's lifestyle early?
So that when she marries into the Uchiha, they won't have anything to say."
"The elder's suggestion is good, I agree."
"I agree too."
The elders all agreed, and Hiashi said with some difficulty:
"But this means we need to lift the restrictions on Hinata."
"Is it not good for Hinata to receive ninja school education?"
"......"
So this is what it was about.
No one was a fool, everyone understood that Hiashi was using Yan and the Uchiha as an excuse to communicate with them.
This way, the clan couldn't interfere with Hinata's education in the future.
"Yan will invite the village families to meet tomorrow, but it's not clear what for."
Hiashi changed the topic.
"No matter what it's for, as long as Hinata is the link, whatever benefits the Uchiha get, they won't exclude our clan. At least we'll get a share of the pie."
Not mentioning the Patriarch's courtyard.
Yan walked on the street with Hinata, who looked like an ostrich.
Hinata recalled her father's words several times, mustered the courage to raise her head and straighten her back, but couldn't help lowering her head again.
"Keep your head up"
Yan couldn't stand it and reminded Hinata.
"Yes."
Hinata quickly raised her head, but her face, which had just returned to normal color, turned red again.
"Don't be nervous, stay calm."
Changing Hinata's mindset wasn't something that could be done overnight, some things were deeply ingrained.
It was hard to correct, at least not in a short time.
But Yan believed that with timely correction and the Hyuga clan no longer using high-pressure education on Hinata, her personality would gradually change.
"Forget your identity, just be an ordinary girl, do whatever you want."
"Like now."
Yan stopped, took out a 1000 Ryo bill, and handed it to Hinata, pointing to a nearby store:
"Hinata, can you buy two drinks for me?"
"Yes!"
Hinata quickly took the money and ran to the drink shop.
"Hello, please give me two..."
Hinata realized she didn't know what Yan wanted to drink.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask what drinks you wanted, please wait."
After apologizing and seeing the confused look on the clerk's face, Hinata quickly ran back: "Senpai..."
Yan casually looked at the passersby, as if he didn't hear Hinata.
Hinata: "..."
Did he not hear?
"Yan-kun..."
Hinata hesitated and changed the address, but Yan still didn't respond.
Hinata got anxious:
"Because I don't know what you like to drink, so..."
Did I call him wrong?
Hinata was so anxious that she was spinning in circles. She noticed the drink shop owner looking at her with confusion.
In a panic, Hinata remembered what Yan had told her at home and quickly said:
"Yan, what flavor drink do you want?"
"Orange juice or watermelon juice, thanks."
Finally Yan smiled and nodded at Hinata.
Seeing Yan's smile up close, Hinata felt her heart being squeezed and quickly lowered her head.
She soon remembered something, raised her head again, and ran to the drink shop.
"Yan, here are your drinks and the change..."
The first step is always the hardest. After breaking the ice and understanding why Yan pretended not to hear her, Hinata finally had the courage to call Yan by his name.
"Two drinks are too much, you drink one."
Handing a drink to Hinata, Yan started walking ahead, and Hinata quickly followed after a few seconds.
"By the way, I want some meat skewers, can you buy some for me? Thanks."
"Too many, you eat the rest."
"I want to buy some clothes as gifts, can you try them on for me?"
All day, Hinata followed Yan like a little assistant.
When she got home, she realized she had received a lot of gifts.
Hinata finally came to her senses, recalling everything that happened today. A strange feeling started to spread in her heart, and she felt a bit happy.
"You're back? Put down your things and get ready for dinner."
Hiashi saw his daughter carrying a lot of bags and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
What is Uchiha Yan up to?
"Yes."
Hinata quickly bowed her head and was about to put down the things, then remembered Yan's advice.
She carefully looked up at her father, hesitating to speak.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
Hiashi asked.
Hinata quickly said:
"It's Yan, he said I eat too many snacks and shouldn't eat after dinner, or my stomach will hurt. So if you ask, he told me to say it was his idea..."
Wow, just one day out and she's already changed how she addresses him.
This little cabbage has been taken too quickly.
"Alright, in that case, go wash up and rest. You have school tomorrow."
Hiashi didn't say much and let his daughter leave.
If your father asks, just say what I told you, he won't make it hard for you.
Hinata felt like she was dreaming.
After washing up, Hinata decided to train more. She had spent the whole day with Yan, so she needed to make up for the training.
Otherwise, her father would be disappointed.
But to her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the training ground, Hiashi appeared and frowned, saying:
"It's already night, still training? Rest early for school tomorrow."
"..."
That night, Hinata couldn't sleep, almost staying awake, because she found that her father's usual strict requirements were no longer there.
This made Hinata a bit scared.
She felt like she was being abandoned.
The next day, a groggy Hinata arrived at the ninja school and bumped into Sasuke just as she entered the classroom.
Sasuke, in a good mood, walked into the classroom with his head held high, only to bump into Hinata.
As usual, Hinata instinctively lowered her head and stepped aside.
This small action startled Sasuke, making him take several steps back.
What's going on?
Sasuke's strange behavior caught the attention of all the classmates.
Hinata also stared at him in confusion.
