My wife believes me; how could I be a cuckold?

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly awkward.

Looking at her gaze, which seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to start, Asano Makoto almost lost his expression and his face collapsed.

But he truly had unspeakable suffering.

Ultimately, it wasn't his own idea to set up this position. He initially just wanted to touch her legs, give Konno Yuuka a massage to relieve her stress, see if he could gain some favor with her, and finally complete the mission. He didn't plan to do anything else outrageous.

If Konno Yuuka hadn't suddenly cried out, and in such a hoarse voice, and then displayed that irresistible attitude, would he have ended up like this?

Honestly, he himself didn't know how he managed to resist doing something.

Moreover, he didn't expect Xiao Acheng's rebound to be so strong. Although he used to be able to gather his staff quickly, this time he stood up in an instant as if he had taken a rocket and couldn't control himself at all.

As for Xiao Acheng being suppressed for two or three days, the fault wasn't his; wasn't that Lilith's problem?

Thinking about this, Makoto Asano suddenly felt a little wronged.

So he simply stopped pretending and put on a pained expression, saying, "I really just wanted to give you a massage to help you relax. I didn't intend to do anything bad. But I'm just a normal young man, not some saint, and I don't have a girlfriend. And then you made those... suggestive sounds. I couldn't help it."

It has to be said that Makoto Asano is a very talented scumbag. Just listen to his scumbag-style attempt to shirk responsibility and his PUA-like rhetoric.

But to be honest, he really didn't intend to manipulate Konno Yuuka.

Because what he said was true.

Although he always appeared calm on the surface, no one knew how much pressure Xiao Acheng's sudden despondency had put on him. Rather, no one could remain calm when their manhood had been fatally damaged and they were devastated.

Although Lilith said it wasn't a big problem and he would recover after a few days of rest, he didn't know whether Lilith's "diagnosis" was accurate or not, and he didn't know if Xiao Acheng had suffered any permanent damage.

He simply didn't want Lilith to feel pressured, so he chose to believe her. He figured if that didn't work, he could try to find a solution through the system, since the "Yellow-haired Minotaur" system would definitely not let him lose his Minotaur abilities.

So he always kept all the pressure inside.

He had kept it well hidden, but in the short time just now, he suddenly remembered these things, and with Xiao Acheng's sudden resurrection, he became so emotional that he couldn't control himself and let some of the pressure slip out.

It really was just a little bit; he remained rational, controlled his words, and tried his best to keep things in check.

Yes, even at this moment, he was trying his best to erase the impact of the sudden incident and repair the rift between himself and Konno Yuuka that had never actually appeared.

So he wasn't really blaming Konno Yuuka, nor was he trying to suppress her mentality or use psychological manipulation on her.

He just wanted to resolve the immediate problem and take this opportunity to vent a little.

To his surprise, Konno Yuuka actually fell for his charm.

She has always been a very independent "new era woman," tenacious and hardworking, and rarely influenced by external factors.

However, because she had just been hurt by a scumbag, her mind was in a very sensitive and unstable state.

Makoto Asano seized the opportunity to enter her heart, becoming her sun in that blizzard, helping her stabilize her spirit which was on the verge of collapse, and giving her the warmth to stand up again.

The price was that she became dependent on it.

This independent woman has become no longer independent.

On the surface, Konno Yuuka seems to remain strong, and even after being away from Shida Yoichi for some time, she seems to have become better than before.

But deep within her heart lies an unseen crack, a crack torn open by her trusted boyfriend, a crack that can only be temporarily "stitched" back together when she is with Makoto Asano, who saved her.

Therefore, she has no choice, at least not for the time being, to leave Asano Makoto's side for an extended period of time. Even if she leaves, she can only barely maintain her mental state by staying in touch with Asano Makoto.

This is the main reason why she rushed back as soon as she had a holiday, wanting to see Makoto Asano.

She may not have known these things herself, but there was one thing she knew: she didn't want to lose Makoto Asano as a good friend, she wanted to maintain a good relationship with him, and ideally, they could stay together forever.

She didn't want any conflict between herself and Makoto Asano, she didn't want any cracks to appear in their relationship, and she especially didn't want them to part ways in the end.

Upon hearing Asano Makoto's obvious complaint of shirking responsibility, Konno Yuuka suddenly came to her senses.

She was no longer unable to think because of shyness—of course, she still felt ashamed of the stupid things she had done and of the towering peak between Asano Makoto's legs, but this shame did not overshadow the other complex emotions.

Therefore, she understood Asano Makoto's physical reaction at that moment and felt a little guilty about it.

And, just a tiny bit of happiness, so little that she herself didn't even notice it.

I don't know whether to call her "cheap" or what, but after Asano Makoto shifted the blame onto her, she actually felt happy, which is simply unbelievable.

But it is what it is.

After hearing Makoto Asano say, "I'm just a young, normal man, and I don't have a girlfriend," she breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy and at ease.

She didn't realize it, but that didn't matter. This feeling had become a seed planted in her heart, and sooner or later it would take root, sprout, and bear fresh, juicy fruit.

In the end, it was plucked by Makoto Asano, the "villain" who planted the seed.

As for Asano Makoto, these things manifested as a notification sound that suddenly rang in her mind: "Konno Yuuka's affection level +3".

At this point, Konno Yuuka's favorability rating reached 42 points.

As for her stability value... it will slowly increase as long as she chats with Makoto Asano, let alone if she stays by Makoto Asano's side.

In just a short time since she arrived, her stability value has already risen to 74.

The moment he heard the notification tone, Makoto Asano immediately stopped feeling aggrieved.

His hard work and acting skills paid off.

But he didn't stop talking. He kept saying, "In the end, you have no idea how attractive you are to me. You're beautiful, you know how to dress, you have great taste in clothes, and your personality is even better. It's amazing that you can become good friends with someone like me who has almost no friends."

"How could I possibly control myself when such a charming woman like you suddenly made such a suggestive sound and acted so suggestively in front of me! Do you even know how suggestive it was to see you blushing and burying your head in your knees?"

"Let me put it this way, no normal man can stay calm in front of your flirtatious appearance. Others can't, and I certainly can't. Don't overestimate me, because I'm really just an ordinary, normal man who's almost 20 years old but has never been in a relationship!"

Chapter 246 I want

Makoto Asano now looks like he has road rage, constantly venting his anger on Yuuka Konno.

Of course, he was faking it, because he needed to overwhelm Konno Yuuka in terms of presence in order to completely resolve the problem.

"There are only two kinds of people who don't have a physical reaction to your lewd appearance: one is someone who likes men's contact lists, and the other is someone who already has some kind of physical ailment... No, maybe even the latter could be cured by seeing you! You're just that charming, you're just that horny, understand?!"

Is this shirking responsibility? Is this psychological manipulation (PUA)?

of course not.

He neither lied nor belittled anyone, so how could this be PUA?

This is clearly a compliment, though it's very direct and vulgar. It's a compliment, and a rather unique one at that, that even makes Konno Yuuka, a top model who lives almost every day surrounded by compliments, blush.

After all, this was the first time someone had praised her for being "sexy" to her face.

Leaving aside moral constraints, a man calling a woman "sexually alluring" might be the highest form of praise, because it clearly indicates that the man is attracted to the woman, even if only on a physical level.

In fact, before this, Makoto Asano's superficial praises only earned Yuuka Konno's gratitude, but could not make her blush.

Although she seemed much happier when praised by Makoto Asano than when praised by others, who knows if that was just a fake smile created by her professionalism as a model?

It's fair to say she's long been accustomed to those incredibly ordinary compliments.

Even before she discovered that Yoichi Shida was a scumbag, her boyfriend's praise couldn't make her blush.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that she knows that Yoichi Shida is probably praising her in order to trick her into bed. However, this kind of trick makes her, who adheres to her bottom line, even less concerned about these compliments.

To put it simply, if we're talking about whose praise she hates the most, it would definitely be from Yoichi Shida and the group of agency leaders who tried to sexually harass her in the past.

Because their high-sounding praises are mixed with dirty motives and desires.

She felt disgusted by it.

If it weren't for the fact that Yoichi Shida was her boyfriend, and that she hadn't initially discovered his true nature as a scumbag, leading her to believe he was trying to control his desires for her sake, and that she felt somewhat embarrassed about stubbornly saving her purity for marriage, she would have already given Yoichi Shida a good scolding.

But this time, Makoto Asano's sudden outburst was without any purpose; his words seemed to be nothing more than an expression of his resentment.

At least Konno Yuuka didn't see any ill intentions in him.

Because of his straightforward and explicit praise, which didn't sound like a compliment at all, Konno Yuuka felt that he didn't have any strange intentions. After all, who would keep telling the person they wanted to sleep with "you're a pervert"?

Isn't that a bit too blunt and impolite?

Who would want to share a bed with someone who constantly talks about "sexual innuendo"?

So this time, Konno Yuuka really blushed because of Asano Makoto's praise, and hurriedly waved her hands, saying repeatedly, "No, stop! Asano-kun, please stop! I'm begging you, please stop!"

However, seeing things gradually unfold as expected, and with the notification sound of "[Konno Yuuka's Affection +1]" constantly ringing in his mind, how could Asano Makoto possibly listen to her advice, which was all talk and no action?

"You won't let me say it? I'll say it anyway! You're a lewd woman, and a lewd idiot who doesn't even realize it!"

With that, Makoto Asano snorted and said in a somewhat provocative tone, "So, do you even know why you suddenly made such a lewd sound just now?"

From the moment he spoke until now, he hasn't stopped using the word "sexy." If an ordinary person dared to say such things in front of a woman, he would have been humiliated long ago.

But Makoto Asano wasn't afraid. He knew very well that he could say these things without any negative consequences.

Because his relationship with Konno Yuuka is not ordinary, and they are almost like brothers now, he doesn't feel much pressure to say such things, and he might even say more offensive things.

Moreover, at this moment he was on the moral high ground, making Konno Yuuka realize her "mistake" and feel guilty towards him, so even if he kept saying that the other party was a perverted guy, he would not make her angry.

As for whether this is true or not, just look at how quickly Konno Yuuka's favorability rating increased by 5 points, reaching 47 points.

Konno Yuuka wasn't angry at all. In fact, after Asano Makoto asked her question in a provocative tone, she subconsciously asked back, "Why, why?"

Although she felt embarrassed by being called lewd again, she really wanted to know the reason.

Why does just a pinch on the shoulder make me feel so good, even to the point of making a sound, and why is Makoto Asano still praising me for it?

"Humph!"

Makoto Asano snorted loudly, then rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I knew you'd been working too hard lately just by massaging your shoulder. Your muscles have been tense the whole time and haven't been able to relax. It's no wonder you're not happy after being massaged by a 'massage master' like me."

Although his words were still crude and blunt, he seemed less angry.

It was precisely because of his drastic change in attitude that Konno Yuuka was momentarily stunned and at a loss for what to do.

Seeing this, Makoto Asano said again in a deep voice, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and lie down, I'll loosen up your muscles."

Konno Yuuka was even more stunned; she hadn't yet recovered from the conversation.

However, seeing Asano Makoto's increasingly hostile gaze, she realized what was happening, and instinctively lowered her head to look at the still towering mountain peak, asking, "Then you..."

Even Makoto Asano would feel somewhat ashamed if this matter were constantly brought up.

So he didn't give Konno Yuuka a chance to continue, interrupting her directly: "You're still asking, huh? I told you, just ignore it and pretend nothing happened. Don't forget who ruined me like this."

After giving Konno Yuuka a small warning, Asano Makoto waited a while before continuing, "Alright, hurry up and lie down again. Do you still want me to massage you? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't regret it."

Seeing that he looked like his patience was about to run out, Konno Yuuka decided to stop talking and courting death.
