Kushina cried as she pounded Liuyun's shoulders. "You bastard! You finally remembered to come back! Do you know how long you were gone?"
"I know! I know! Your husband will never leave for that long again!"
Liuyun held Kushina close, his voice thick with emotion and concern.
He took a deep breath. She smelled the same and felt the same, but somehow she had grown even more alluring.

"Of course! Otherwise, I'd turn into a wrinkled old man while your teachers' wives stayed as beautiful as ever. I couldn't stand that!"
Liuyun feigned indignation, then glanced at Kushina's familiar figure.

Back in Kushina's room, they immediately fell into a kiss,
