A Review of Ten Thousand Words

"Um..."

Mafuyu had just woken up and was still a bit dazed.

"Sensei, thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't difficult."

Mafuyu spoke softly, "Haruto-kun, you've worked very hard. You've done so much for me."

"It's as it should be."

Haruto walked behind the sofa, placed his hands on her slender shoulders, and whispered, "Mafuyu-chan, did you forget something?"

"What?"

Mafuyu opened her eyes wide and looked at him with a blank stare, looking very sweet.

Haruto leaned in and softly said, "You forgot, you always call me hubby."

"Eh?"

Mafuyu blinked. Although she felt something was off, the grogginess she had just experienced hadn't yet faded, so she said absentmindedly, "Yes, I understand, hubby."

Haruto held back a smile, "Say it again, I still want to hear it."

Mafuyu instinctively felt shy, lowered her head bashfully, and whispered, "Hubby..."

Haruto pushed further, "Mafuyu-chan, your legs must be numb; let me massage them for you."

Without thinking, Mafuyu extended her legs, placing them on his lap, and gently said, "Hubby, I'm causing you trouble."

"Eh, it's no trouble at all."

Haruto said seriously, "Mafuyu, you forget that we're already married. It's normal for a husband and wife to help each other, so there's no trouble."

Married?

The word "marriage" was so powerful that Mafuyu suddenly became fully awake. Recalling their earlier conversation, a strong sense of embarrassment welled up inside her.

"Insult!"

Her face flushed, and she tried her best to glare at Haruto with angry eyes to show her dignity. However, with her red cheeks and sparkling eyes, there was no dignity at all—on the contrary, she looked extremely cute.

"You will be punished with a 10,000-word review!"

"Mafuyu-chan, what did you just say?"

Haruto still wanted to make another move, and with a confused look on his face, he said, "Did you fall asleep and think it's three years ago?"

"Did you forget, Mafuyu-chan? We got married a year after I graduated. It's been almost a year now."

Maybe because Haruto's acting was so good, or perhaps because she was still a bit confused, she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced around at her surroundings and the lunch on the table.

'Are we really married? Yes, I did consider marriage when he graduated. After all, I can't live without him, and I really like him. If I don't have him, I won't have myself...'

'But something seems wrong?'

Seeing Mafuyu's blank expression, Haruto set her legs down and sat on the sofa. He moved closer and said, "Mafuyu-chan, are you sick? Let me check..."

As he spoke, he pressed his forehead against Mafuyu's.

Mafuyu's eyes widened slightly, and her mind went blank.

Her eyes also unconsciously closed tightly in nervousness.

Her long eyelashes quivered slightly, feeling each other's breath. Haruto spoke in a tender voice, "You're not sick; were you really just stupidly asleep?"

Hearing his soft and caring voice, feeling his warm body temperature and breath, Mafuyu's heart suddenly softened. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, opened her eyes to look at him, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep, and I won't do it again."

Haruto's heart raced. This was the first time Mafuyu had taken the initiative to hug him.

It's happening!

Haruto gently said, "Silly, do you want me to help wake Mafuyu-chan up?"

"Wake up?"

Mafuyu blinked blankly, then watched as he lowered his head.

The next moment, a warm sensation came.

Mafuyu's breath hitched, and her mind instantly went blank. Almost unconsciously, she hugged Haruto's neck tightly, and as she closed her eyes shyly, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the coffee table from the corner of her eye—a snack.

Mafuyu suddenly opened her eyes. Wasn't that the chocolate bar Haruto had given her earlier?

She remembered that she had also been fed.

Mafuyu snapped back to full awareness, feeling both embarrassed and angry. How could this weak soul do such a thing?

Haruto suddenly pulled back, covering his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "Mafuyu-chan, why did you bite me?"

'How dare you ask what to do?'

Mafuyu's cheeks turned red, and she looked at him in embarrassment. Then she suddenly stood up, "I-I'm leaving."

After saying that, she left Haruto's apartment as if fleeing.

*BANG*

After closing the door, Mafuyu covered her hot cheeks and kept groaning.

Embarrassed!

'I was actually kissed... Moreover, after thinking that I didn't resist at all but rather opened my lips to actively respond to it.'

Mafuyu wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"I'm too embarrassed to meet anyone. I made a mistake. I'll never go there again."

"Bullying me..."

"Liar!"

"Insult!"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Haruto's voice could be heard.

"Sensei, lunch is ready."

'How dare you come and invite me to lunch? Your skin is getting thicker!'

Mafuyu felt both embarrassed and said, "I'm not going to eat it!"

Haruto said slowly, "It's all finished. If sensei doesn't eat it, it'll just go to waste. As a teacher, can't you take the lead in not wasting food?"

"...Insult!"

Mafuyu bit her lip. Indeed, food or anything should not be wasted, and she had to set an example and never let Haruto become twisted.

But letting it pass as if nothing had happened?

Impossible!

And now that the status has changed, certain things are strictly forbidden even though she likes them.

Such situations must be avoided!

Mafuyu took a deep breath and said, "I'm not coming, just leave it at the door."

"I've already brought it."

In the end, that day passed just like that.

Relaxed and calm.

❀❀❀

In the evening, Haruto went to call Mafuyu for dinner, but the outcome was clear—he was flatly refused without hesitation.

Haruto didn't force it.

Although he didn't care what others thought, Mafuyu clearly couldn't handle it.

Haruto touched his lips and had to admit that it felt really good. It was clearly just the touch of eating organs, with no sweetness or flavor, but it made people's hearts race, and they couldn't stop.

It was strange.

For some reason, he just wanted to do it again.

Unfortunately, Mafuyu would never agree in a normal situation. If the relationship between the two sides wasn't solid and Mafuyu didn't like him as well, he probably wouldn't have been able to fool her today.

"Mafuyu-chan really is the best in the world."
