Just as Mashauva was worrying over the problem, Jelly Bean came over and whispered, "Mashauva, you used to blush when I saw you as my sister-in-law, but you won't anymore, will you? Now that you're getting engaged to my brother."
Although Mashauva was still somewhat shy about it, she had already accepted it.
After all, she had been dating Bruno for quite some time.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone purposely shooed Bruno and Mashauva out for the young couple to spend some time alone.
"Where do you want to go?"
Mashauva pursed her lips. "I'm fine with anywhere."
"Why are you always like this?" Bruno caressed her head lightly and chuckled. "Can't you make a difficult request for once?"
Difficult request?
What did he mean by difficult?
Mashauva tilted her head and looked at Bruno, not saying a word.
"Forget it, do you want to watch fireworks?"
"Sure."
There was a spot where people gathered to watch the fireworks during the New Year, and when Bruno and Mashauva arrived at the location, the show had yet to start.
There were a lot of people gathered in the square, families, friends, and even lovers.
Most of them were couples like Bruno and Mashauva, who came to watch the fireworks.
It was still early; both the fountain show and fireworks had yet to start, but judging from the setup, Mashauva could tell it was going to be grand.
Since all the seats had been taken up in the square, Mashauva could only stand with Bruno.
However, she noticed that some girls would snuggle up in their partner's arms while the guys would have their coats opened, tucking their girlfriends in, or that they would whisper into each other's ears. So close that their lips would touch each other's cheek or neck.
They looked genuinely affectionate, Mashauva thought, looking at the other couples enviously. Ever since they started dating, they didn't seem to have... intimate moments like that.
Deep in thought, she suddenly felt a grip on her wrist, causing her to look over only to be met with
Bruno's face, only inches away.
"What are you looking at?"
He had a deep voice and handsome face; when he leaned in, his masculine aura enveloped her, causing her heart to skip a beat.
Why would he suddenly lean in so closely?
"N-Nothing."
"Nothing? But you didn't respond when I called you."
Mashauva blinked and said, "I was just wondering when the fireworks will start."
"Half an hour later. The fountain and the fireworks will start at the same time."
Bruno glanced in the direction Mashauva was staring at, and he smiled, asking, "You're jealous of them?"
Hearing that, Mashauva blushed and subconsciously shook her head.
"N-No."
"No? It's written all over your face."
With that, he stepped back and unzipped his down jacket as he asked, "Are you cold?"
He... He was imitating other people?! Mashauva didn't think Bruno would notice her casual glancing.
