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

Just as Asano Makoto finished clearing the table and washing the pots and pans, he heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

He walked up to the sofa, and his gaze was inevitably drawn to the glimpse of fair skin exposed on Konno Yuuka's chest. He subconsciously looked at the cleavage hidden beneath her black lace lingerie.

He stared at her without any attempt to hide it for a while before finally turning his gaze to Konno Yuuka's beautiful face, flushed with a hint of drunkenness, and asked in a serious tone, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Konno Yuuka's alcohol tolerance is indeed very low; just a little bit of alcohol made her very drunk.

Although she had been sitting on the sofa for a while and her mind was a little clearer than before, allowing her to know that Asano Makoto was staring at her chest, her still confused mind was unable to understand what this behavior represented.

Simply put, I'm awake, but only a little bit.

Nevertheless, upon hearing Asano Makoto's question, she instinctively replied, "I feel all sticky... Makoto-kun~ I want to take a bath~~~"

Ever since she got drunk, she's been like this, constantly acting like a spoiled child.

From her words, it was clear that Makoto Asano had agreed to her request to stay there.

After all, when he met her at the door before and invited her in for dinner, Makoto Asano had said that if she felt tired, she could rest at his house tonight.

Although he said it with a hint of comfort and politeness, he couldn't really refuse when the other party actually brought it up.

Besides, it's not like I'm losing out by letting Konno Yuuka stay at my house, and I might even get a chance to increase her affection for me.

Considering she's still drunk, she might unlock some lucky pervert events later, so why not?

However, although he agreed to Konno Yuuka's request to stay at his house that night, he shouldn't forget that Asano Makoto is a very ruthless person.

He wouldn't let her act recklessly or make any demands just because she seemed cute and coquettish.

So when she said she wanted to take a shower, Makoto Asano refused without even thinking: "You're so drunk, you still want to take a shower? What if you fall or pass out in there? Just don't shower, change your clothes and make do for the night. I don't feel comfortable letting you shower alone."

If a person is drunk and enters a closed and poorly ventilated bathroom to take a shower, it is very likely to cause brain hypoxia.

Furthermore, drinking alcohol and taking a bath can generally cause a drop in blood sugar, which may lead to hypoglycemia and even coma.

Not to mention that when you're drunk, your mind becomes foggy and your reactions become sluggish, making it easy to fall or encounter other dangerous situations.

Therefore, it is impossible for Makoto Asano to agree to Yuuka Konno's request.

However, after he explicitly rejected Konno Yuuka's request, she started to act cute again.

"No~ I just want to take a shower. I feel sticky and uncomfortable all over, and I also have a weird smell..."

This time, she was even more coquettish than before. Asano Makoto was certain that no one but himself had ever seen her like this before.

According to her own account, she used to only drink beer and rarely even sake, so she had never been drunk.

Even so, her current appearance, so different from her usual self, is still not the most shocking.

To Makoto Asano's utter surprise, after her sweet-talking, Yuuka Konno said matter-of-factly, "If you're worried about me being alone, Makoto-kun, just come in and shower with me~ That way it'll be fine~~~"

Makoto Asano was stunned for a moment.

His alcohol tolerance is only average, but he rarely gets drunk.

Because he knew that one's alcohol tolerance was something that couldn't be boasted about.

He knew very well that every time you drink, if you feel like you can drink a lot, you should be careful, because this is a "warning" from your brain that you are about to get drunk.

If you put down your glass in time, you'll basically be fine.

But if you keep drinking, you're bound to have a hangover and a headache when you wake up.

So Makoto Asano, who had already put his wine glass aside, was perfectly sober at that moment. He was certain that he was not drunk and that he had not misheard.

Konno Yuuka meant to ask him to come in and help her take a bath.

For a few seconds, he even wondered if Konno Yuuka wasn't drunk at all and was just saying those things to joke with him.

After all, he often joked with the other party before.

Although they had never made such ambiguous jokes before, considering their current relationship and Konno Yuuka's high 69-point favorability rating towards him, it wasn't impossible for her to make such a joke.

However, upon closer reflection and looking at Konno Yuuka's still dazed eyes, it becomes clear that this is impossible.

She wasn't joking; she was serious.

In fact, Makoto Asano had never believed in the so-called "sexual misconduct under the influence of alcohol".

Because he had drunk alcohol and gotten drunk before, he knew that when people are drunk, they don't act like the characters in TV dramas who are mindless and irrational, and they don't forget everything when they wake up the next morning.

On the contrary, a drunk person's thinking is actually still normal; it's just that their reactions are much slower than usual, and their brain doesn't quite work.

At the same time, due to the influence of alcohol, drunk people may become bolder than usual, and some may even completely abandon their bottom line.

But that's all. They are actually very clear about what they are doing, and they will remember what they did last night when they wake up the next day.

Doing stupid things that you'll regret when you're sober, or saying things you've always wanted to say but were too embarrassed or too afraid to say, are things that drunk people often do.

This is how Konno Yuuka is right now.

Although a large part, or nearly 99%, of the reason she could say such ambiguous things was because she currently had the kind of affection for Asano Makoto that only couples deeply in love would have.

But what finally led her to take that final step was the alcohol that acted on her brain.

The thought of her regretting or feeling ashamed of what she had said when she woke up the next morning made Asano Makoto, her "good buddy," want to laugh.

Thanks to this, his eyes regained their clarity, and the trace of bad desire in his heart disappeared completely.

He wouldn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune unless the situation became so dire that doing so was absolutely necessary.

So, when faced with Konno Yuuka's pleading gaze, which was full of spring-like allure and would be irresistible to any man, that was the kind of gaze that would be the most seductive.

He simply smiled, and then, under Konno Yuuka's puzzled gaze, he reached out his right hand and flicked her forehead hard.

Author's note: I don't know if it's because of the all-nighter I wrote so many chapters before, but last night I couldn't stay awake and fell asleep in the middle of the night...

I'm so sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long, I deserve to die! (kneeling)

I owe three updates totaling 5.5K words from yesterday and today. This is the first update, and there will be more to come. I definitely won't skip it this time!

If I can keep going, I'll add more chapters. If I can't, I'll just finish up the chapters I owe for the last two days, take a good rest for the next two days, and then release more chapters later.

Chapter 263 What's Down There? (3k)

"Ouch! What are you doing?!"

After Asano Makoto flicked her forehead hard, Konno Yuuka immediately clutched her head and cried out in pain.

Judging from her current state, she seems to have become much more sober.

Looking at the indignant expression on her face, Asano Makoto simply smiled and suppressed his laughter, saying, "Alright, stop saying such strange things. It's settled then. I'll go get you some clothes. Go to your room and change, and then you can sleep like this tonight."

Without waiting for Konno Yuuka to say anything more, he turned around and went to his room to find clothes, thus setting the tone for the matter.

As he walked towards the bedroom, Konno Yuuka was still watching his back.

However, as she looked at it, her gaze gradually became hazy, and it even seemed to lose focus.

Clearly, the power of alcohol gradually overcame the faint pain that kept emanating from her forehead.

Even though her consciousness was fading again, she was still staring in the direction of Makoto Asano's bedroom.

The resentment that had appeared in her eyes when Asano Makoto flicked her forehead had vanished, replaced by an indescribable feeling, as if she were anticipating seeing someone.

Soon, the person she was waiting for came out of the bedroom with the clothes.

However, when Asano Masashi reappeared in front of her, she hurriedly lowered her head and looked away, instinctively not daring to look at him.

Makoto Asano didn't notice her gaze. He walked straight to the sofa and handed the clothes in his hand to Yuuka Konno: "These are my old clothes, but I only wore them once or twice, and they've all been washed."

"If you don't mind, just wear these for one night. After you change, throw me your dirty clothes and I'll put them in the washing machine for you. You can change back tomorrow morning when they're dry."

Upon hearing this, Konno Yuuka instinctively took the clothes, glanced down at them, and found that Asano Makoto had given her a rather large white T-shirt and a pair of black shorts.

There were no bras, not even underwear...

This was the first thing her still-dazed brain realized, so she subconsciously looked up at Asano Makoto again.

Noticing her gaze, Makoto Asano made no move.

He actually knew what Konno Yuuka meant, but there was nothing he could do. As a man, where would he get women's underwear?

Oh, he actually does.

These are all uniquely styled clothes, as well as some battle-damaged collectibles left here by Yuna.

However, even if his underwear were all normal styles, he couldn't take them out.

After all, he didn't want Konno Yuuka to misunderstand him as having a perverted fetish for collecting women's underwear.

So before the incoherent person could even ask him for underwear, he pointed to his side bedroom and said, "Go change there. You can sleep in that room tonight; there's a bed ready."

At this moment, Konno Yuuka's brain wasn't processing power very well to begin with, and after hearing this, her attention was diverted, and she didn't have the leisure to think about underwear anymore.

"I know~"

As she said this, she slowly got up from the sofa and walked steadily toward the guest room.

Seeing this, Makoto Asano breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had been worried that Konno Yuuka was too drunk and might not even be able to walk, let alone change her clothes.

However, he still followed behind Konno Yuuka until she entered the room, at which point he said, "I'll wait for you at the door. Remember to call me when you're done changing, and I'll help you put your dirty clothes in the washing machine."

Then he closed the door and began to wait quietly.

He waited at the door for about five minutes, but Konno Yuuka inside the room didn't make a sound.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, girls usually take longer to change clothes, not to mention that Konno Yuuka was drunk and would definitely be slower.

However, after waiting for almost ten more minutes and still not hearing any sound, he began to feel uneasy.

Even if you're slow, you should be able to change your clothes in fifteen minutes, right?

Did he fall down?

Thinking of this, Makoto Asano suddenly became a little anxious.

However, he quickly realized that this was impossible, otherwise, with such a loud thud when he fell to the ground, he would have heard it.

Is she asleep?

Hmm, they must be asleep, otherwise they wouldn't have been so quiet until now...

After thinking for a moment, Makoto Asano knocked on the door and called out into the room, "Ms. Konno, have you changed your clothes?"
