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

Konno Yuuka still couldn't bring herself to ask.

Although she usually appears carefree, she still felt quite ashamed about something that could be considered embarrassing.

After a long while, perhaps realizing that things couldn't continue like this, she finally made up her mind and asked in a desperate tone, "Last night, did you help me change my clothes, Asano-kun?"

Upon hearing this question, Makoto Asano couldn't help but laugh.

He actually knew what Konno Yuuka wanted to ask all along, but he answered that way on purpose just now.

He needed to peel away Konno Yuuka's sense of shame layer by layer, which would help him win her over more easily in the future.

Most importantly, he really enjoyed the process.

Seeing girls of all kinds of personalities act shy and coy in front of him makes him feel happy and even gives him a strange sense of accomplishment.

Having achieved his goal, Makoto Asano no longer needed to hide it.

"How could that be? What are you thinking? Of course not."

He immediately launched into a triple denial, and then began to describe in great detail what happened last night to Konno Yuuka: "Have you forgotten? Last night I took a set of clothes and asked you to go to the room to change, and I also asked you to give me the clothes you took off after you changed so I could wash them for you."

"I waited at the door for ages but you didn't come out. I knocked but there was no response. I was worried something might have happened to you in your room, so I opened the door and went in to check. That's when I found you had fallen asleep halfway through changing your clothes. Seriously..."

At this point, Makoto Asano couldn't help but roll his eyes, making a very speechless face, before continuing, "I really thought something was wrong with you. I called you for ages and you didn't move. It scared me half to death, you know? And you fell asleep without even taking off your socks. I had to take them off for you in the end."

Asano Makoto kept berating Konno Yuuka for her embarrassing behavior last night, and his tone wasn't exactly friendly.

This impatient demeanor was, of course, a deliberate act, intended to put Konno Yuuka at ease.

Therefore, he deliberately concealed the fact that he helped her put on her pants last night, and that he almost couldn't resist committing a crime because he realized she was completely unsuspecting.

However, these are not trivial matters that can be easily mentioned, so they shouldn't be considered as deliberately concealed.

In short, his small details had a significant effect.

Upon hearing these words, especially when he said that he hadn't even taken off his socks before going to sleep last night, Konno Yuuka felt a little embarrassed.

She never imagined that she had done so many embarrassing things last night.

However, at the same time, Makoto Asano's performance completely dispelled her doubts, making her breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems Asano-kun wasn't lying; I really did change my clothes myself, and he didn't see anything...

Konno Yuuka finally felt relieved.

But for some reason, when she learned that Asano Makoto hadn't done anything to her, she suddenly felt a little bit, really just a tiny bit, of resentment.

Chapter 272 is available for you to read.

Actually, when Konno Yuuka ran back to her own room from Asano Makoto's room last night, she noticed that her clothes had been changed.

But at that time, she couldn't remember when she changed her clothes.

Besides her, Asano Makoto was the only other person there.

Therefore, an impossible conjecture inevitably arose in her mind.

Could it be... that Asano-kun helped me change my clothes?

If that's the case, then wouldn't he have seen my entire body?!

Moreover, it feels empty down there, doesn't that mean Asano-kun...

Waaah~~~ No, that's impossible! Asano-kun isn't that kind of person!

I must have changed it myself, but I was too drunk to remember!

Yes! That's right! That must be it!

At that time, Konno Yuuka was truly conflicted.

Although she believed that Makoto Asano was not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress, she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She went through countless steps to find the answer to this question, but she managed to eliminate the option of "Asano Makoto helping her change clothes".

But no matter how hard she tried to recall, the result remained unchanged; she still had no recollection whatsoever.

At that moment, the shame and nervousness that welled up inside her even overshadowed the moment when she had gone to the wrong room and pretended to be asleep, only to be exposed by Makoto Asano not long ago.

She felt extremely shy, yet incredibly conflicted, and surprisingly, also a little excited.

However, overall, shame and nervousness were the majority of feelings.

She didn't know how she would face Asano Makoto tomorrow if her guess was true, who had seen her naked and might even have done some strange and bad things to her.

These worries left her with no energy to think. Last night, Asano Makoto exposed whether what she did while pretending to be asleep was intentional, and it even kept her from sleeping at all.

At that moment, after hearing Makoto Asano's very detailed explanation, a vague memory of herself changing clothes in her room last night immediately came to mind.

So, the tension that had been building up since last night finally eased.

But it was precisely because of this that she finally had the extra energy to think about other things.

The first thing that came to her mind was Asano Makoto's performance just now.

Why is this idiot reacting with such impatience when talking about this?

And why didn't this idiot do anything while I was asleep?!

Why should he? Does he not even like me?

Does he think I have absolutely no charm as a woman?!

Thinking of this, Konno Yuuka couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She, who had always been extremely confident in her own charm, even had a slight doubt in her heart at this moment.

Just then, she suddenly realized that this seemed to be the second time she had had a similar thought.

The first time was yesterday when we were shopping, and the sales assistant asked us if we were a couple.

At the time, Makoto Asano immediately denied this statement, as if he did not want to be associated with her.

Recalling this less-than-pleasant memory made Konno Yuuka feel both resentful and angry.

She couldn't help but glare at Asano Makoto, as if expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.

Asano Makoto was somewhat baffled by that glare.

I already said she changed her clothes herself and I didn't do anything, so why is she glaring at me?

Could it be that she wants me to help her change her clothes?

Haha, that's impossible... right?

Makoto Asano's doubts are understandable.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person.

Although he gradually came into contact with more and more women, and after some "training," he was occasionally able to see through some of the girls' little thoughts by combining the attribute changes in the system panel.

However, he couldn't believe the conclusions he had drawn that seemed so absurd, and felt somewhat powerless about them.

But most women are like that.

They always get angry for strange reasons, sometimes even seeming unreasonable, no matter how good your relationship is.

Take Konno Yuuka for example. When Asano Makoto says he's going to do something to her, or when she thinks so herself, she feels very nervous and scared.

But when Makoto Asano ultimately did nothing, she felt a sense of relief mixed with dissatisfaction.

Of course, she wasn't really angry; she was just a little embarrassed and annoyed by Asano Makoto's apparent indifference towards her.

Rather than being unreasonable, she seems more like she's being coquettish.

Or you could say that this is her way of hiding her shyness.

However, just as she was about to find some fabricated excuse to argue with Makoto Asano, Makoto Asano started causing trouble first.

He sighed with feigned regret and said in an exaggerated manner, "Oh, it's a pity you put on your clothes and pants before you fell asleep. When I went in, I didn't see anything interesting."

Konno Yuuka was stunned, and for a moment, she even forgot that she was still angry.

She knew it was a joke, of course, but she never expected Makoto Asano to make such a joke.

Before today, even though the two would tease and insult each other, they both avoided talking about anything related to men and women, as if they didn't want to bring it up.

But today, Makoto Asano broke this unspoken understanding between the two.

The moment she heard Makoto Asano's slightly over-the-top joke, she suddenly realized something.

She wasn't Asano Makoto's best friend, nor was Asano Makoto her best confidant.

She and Makoto Asano are a genuinely "suitable age," "single," and "very close" couple.

With these labels attached to them, it wouldn't be surprising if anything happened between the two of them.

Although she had occasionally felt shy about some small things that happened between the two of them, it was just her instinct as a woman.

But at this moment, she truly remembered that Asano Makoto was a man, and she was a woman.

Konno Yuuka was genuinely shocked by Asano Makoto's sudden joke.

Surprisingly, she didn't find Asano Makoto's words offensive.

Perhaps it was because she felt somewhat resentful of Asano Makoto's previous indifference that made her eager to prove herself.

So when Asano Makoto put on a regretful look and looked at her with a wicked smile.

Her choice was to respond with a joke of the same magnitude.

She raised an eyebrow at Asano Makoto, gave him a defiant smile, and said defiantly, "Want to see? Sure, I can show you right now, but it depends on whether you have the guts."

Chapter 273 Bluffing?

Makoto Asano stared blankly at Yuuka Konno.

He originally made this joke with the intention of losing two or three points of goodwill.

As a result, Konno Yuuka not only did not dislike him, but actually accepted his inappropriate joke and even joked with him in return.

This was far beyond his expectations.

He had discovered some of Konno Yuuka's likes and dislikes when he could only chat with her online before.

It's quite possible that it was because some idiot who only knows how to hide in a hole made his feelings too obvious in the past, causing Konno Yuuka to always feel very insecure.
