Hence, Mashauva slept on Bruno's back for quite a while.

She was not only asleep but had even dreamed.

In her dream, she had become a full-fledged adult.

Then, she got everything she wanted. Mashauva thought how great it was to be an adult. She could do as she wished.

However, Bruno woke her up before she had a proper taste of adulthood.

Mashauva could only open her eyes blearily.

"Bruno?"

"You're up?" Bruno looked at her helplessly. "You were sleeping so soundly. You haven't been sleeping well?"

It had taken him a long time to rouse her.

Mashauva was still half-dazed, so she wasn't on guard. Leaning against Bruno, she murmured in a stupor, "Bruno, I had a dream about you."

Mashauva's feelings were as clear as day. They burned bright and purely, without any ulterior motives staining them, laid bare for Bruno to see.

Such feelings...

Bruno's eyes darkened a little.

"What did I do in your dream?"

"Hmph." Mashauva huffed softly. "I'm not telling you."

Only after that did she realize she was in Bruno's arms. She was seated on a boulder not far from the school gates, with Bruno's arm wrapped around her shoulders. Their posture looked incredibly intimate. Abashed, Mashauva's face turned slightly red as she struggled, wanting to get up.

Bruno gave her a hand and helped her up.

"Take it easy. You just woke up after all."
