Anything But Study - Chapter 60

Her flushed, panting face gradually turned into one filled with confusion.

The skirt that had been pushed up was already back in place before she noticed.

Is it over just like that?

I still… haven’t finished.

Just moments ago, she wished it would stop immediately, but now that it actually had, a strange sense of disappointment filled her. She was just about to return to the bookshelf where Hailon was when—

“Um… excuse me.”

“Y-yes? Yes?”

At the sudden voice calling for her, Melia jumped and quickly turned her head to the right.

She was so startled that polite speech slipped out automatically.

The male student who had asked where the book was earlier was standing there.

“…So, um. It wasn’t in Section 1.”

“Ah, well… sorry. Now that I think about it, it was actually right next to us.”

Pretending nothing had happened, Melia hurried over to the neighboring bookshelf.

“Here.”

“I-I see. Thank you.”

The timid-looking student glanced through the book, then looked over at Melia a few times.

Thinking she might be distracting him from reading, Melia immediately stepped away.

But apparently, the book didn’t contain what he was looking for. Without borrowing it, the student put it back and left the library.

‘Did he just leave?’

It seemed there really was no one left now.

Silence returned to the library where only Melia and Hailon remained.

Only then did Melia finally relax. She was just about to go look for Hailon when—

Grab.

From behind, Hailon suddenly pulled her into his arms.

“Ah! H-Hailon?”

It was a scent she knew well. The familiar warmth she always felt when he held her.

“I thought maybe you liked that kind of thing, but you don’t seem to enjoy it as much as I expected.”

His tone sounded dissatisfied.

“Only I should get to see that face of yours. Watching you show it to some random nuisance put me in a bad mood.”

The reason he’d stopped earlier was something Melia could never have predicted. Still, it was fortunate.

If Hailon hadn’t stopped, that boy would have caught them.

“You couldn’t even focus.”

Before she realized it, Melia was lifted up and laid down naturally on the large library table.

Her skirt was pushed up again.

Looking down at her, Hailon spoke as if stating an obvious truth.

“You should only focus on me, Melia.”

Her underwear, which wasn’t even properly back on, was dragged down in a single motion.

The touch of cool air against her skin felt strangely empty.

And yet, why did it also make her feel expectant?

Melia swallowed. Hailon noticed even that small movement and let out a quiet chuckle.

“Were you disappointed earlier?”

“I-I don’t know.”

Melia turned her head to the side, avoiding the question.

Recently, Melia and Hailon had started their tutoring sessions again.

The problem was that instead of studying, they ended up pressing their bodies together in the library like this every time….

“Teacher, your student asked a question. You should answer it.”

He urged her to respond, as if she could possibly not know the answer. His large hand turned Melia’s face back toward him.

But even though he demanded an answer, Hailon’s hand moved before she could even speak.

As if the answer had been decided from the beginning.

His thick fingers slipped between her soaked thighs.

Squish.

The space between her legs, thoroughly drenched, was already filled with the clear signs of her arousal.

But fingers alone were not enough to satisfy the desire pressing inside her. It needed something else.

Looking down at her, Hailon pulled out his massive cock, which Melia hadn’t even noticed him exposing.

He brought it between her folds.

“You were disappointed.”

As if it belonged there, the tip of his glans spread her entrance and slowly pushed inside.

“Like you wanted to swallow my cock immediately.”

“D-don’t say things like that….”

Melia couldn’t deny it. Because it was true.

But she felt too embarrassed to even nod, so she simply closed her eyes to avoid his gaze.

Even so, below them she steadily took in his cock, thick as a club, swallowing it completely.

Squish- slurp-

Her widely opened hole clamped down tightly around the thick pillar of flesh.

But to Hailon, it only felt like the entrance was teasingly sucking on him.

“Then it’s not?”

Thrust- he pushed all the way in at once, until their hips pressed tightly together.

Only then did Hailon smile in satisfaction and begin to move his hips.

“Ah, ah…!”

“Want me to pull out? You choose.”

Even as he told her to choose, his movements said the opposite. As if he had no intention of leaving, he drove deeper inside her.

Squish- thrust-

“You can say it’s because of the relic. I’ll pretend to believe you.”

Now the artifact’s effect no longer appeared for either of them.

Even so, they still longed for each other.

Perhaps even without the relic, it would have happened anyway.

Maybe it had only been a simple trigger.

“Ah… y-yes….”

Yet Melia, who was having sex with him almost every day, couldn’t understand why she never got used to it.

Each time was overwhelming, each time her vision went completely white.

The pleasure he gave her always dragged Melia all the way to the dizzying climax.

“Really? Then I’ll make you come until you’re satisfied.”

In another sense, Hailon felt the same.

The sight of her beneath him was intoxicating.

Her wheat-colored hair spread messily across the library table.

Her dark green eyes, soaked with excitement and unable to focus.

The flush spreading across her pale skin, and those pretty lips letting out soft moans.

And below that.

Each time he thrust his hips forward, her breasts bounced as her body slid upward against the table, unbearably obscene.

A fierce possessiveness surged inside him.

Now that their hearts were connected, tutoring wasn’t even necessary anymore.

But Hailon pretended not to know and continued asking for lessons.

That way he could claim even a little more of Melia’s time as his own.

So for now, he planned to enjoy this time a little longer while pretending not to know.

Each time the tight inner walls squeezed around his cock, a tense fullness built up inside him.

“Ah, yes!”

Just as Melia reached the peak of climax and finally parted her lips, unable to hold back any longer.

Mm—

Hailon lowered his body and sealed her moan with his lips.

Mmm!

He swallowed the evidence of Melia’s pleasure with his mouth while pouring his own desire deep inside her.

Melia’s vision flashed white.

Her body stiffened and trembled as if electricity were running through it.

Melia could tell instinctively that it wouldn’t end with just this once.

They probably wouldn’t manage any proper studying today either.

***

Recently, the smile never left Melia’s lips.

The debt from her uncle that had weighed on her heart no longer existed, and Ervan’s condition was improving.

And more than anything,

Every day she spent with Hailon made her truly happy.

She never realized sharing everyday life with someone she loved could feel this wonderful.

Today, she’d invited Hailon to her home.

“Hailon, how is it?”

Holding out the dish she made herself, Melia watched Hailon’s reaction with a pounding heart.

He took a bite of the gratin and answered without hesitation.

“It’s good.”

“Really? I was worried since it’s my first time making it.”

Melia brightened.

She’d often cooked like this since the days she lived at the orphanage.

This dish was her first attempt, but seeing someone enjoy food she made always made her incredibly happy.

“I can make it for you anytime. If there’s something you like, tell me.”

“Something I like?”

Hailon grinned.

“Of course there is.”

“What? Tell me. I’ll make anything for you.”

Since this dish had turned out to be a big success, Melia spoke with confident enthusiasm.

“Really?”

“Yeah! Ah, but….”

After answering so quickly, Melia suddenly hesitated.

She truly meant it when she said she would cook anything for him, but he was the heir of a ducal house.

What if he mentioned some luxurious dish she’d never even heard of, something only nobles ate regularly?

“Um, but if it’s something I don’t know how to cook….”

“No, it’s something you can make,” Hailon answered firmly, as if certain.

“Really? What is it?”

“It wouldn’t be fun if I just told you. How about we make it a condition?”

“A condition?”

“If I place within the top five on the next exam, you’ll make it for me. I’ll tell you the menu then. How about it?”

Top five.

The first thought that crossed Melia’s mind was, Wouldn’t that be difficult?

From tutoring him all this time, she knew Hailon Alfred wasn’t stupid.

But suddenly ranking fifth was extremely high.

And the next exam wasn’t even a monthly test. It was a regular exam.

Among 150 students, suddenly entering the top five percent….

“Well? Don’t you like the idea?”

But when Hailon asked again, there was no way Melia could answer negatively.

She couldn’t say something like, I don’t think you can do it, so there’s no point in making a bet.

So Melia hid what she truly thought and nodded brightly.

Well, if it motivates Hailon, that’s still a good thing, right?

“No, I’ll make anything for you!”

“It’s a promise then?”

“Of course.”

Melia nodded several times, though she felt a little regretful.

She thought she probably wouldn’t get the chance to cook the dish Hailon wanted after all.

***

But then,

‘W-what is this?’

The day the regular exam ended and the results were posted.

Melia stood in front of the notice board with her mouth hanging open.
