When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 73: Studying While Entwining Legs With Snow White Is Impossible.

Studying While Entwining Legs With Snow White Is Impossible.

“Tests start the day after tomorrow, so it’s time to hit the books.”

After getting out of the bath, knowing the tests are just around the corner, Himeno, dressed in my shirt, and I decide to study together in my room.

Trying to cool off my head with studies after the rather embarrassing event of washing Himeno’s body.

Whether studying can really cool one’s head is debatable, but it’s definitely less awkward than the bath event.

Swoosh

We sit across the table from each other, and Himeno’s legs make contact with mine.

Even though the tests start the day after tomorrow, it seems she wants to stay close even during our study session.

It’s delightful, but being touched is still a bit distracting.

“Why are you wearing long pants in your pajamas today?”

“Because it’s still chilly at night.”

It’s not a complete lie, but the main reason is just plain embarrassment.

With a slight pout, Himeno skillfully rolls up my pajamas using her legs.

Rolling them up until my calves are fully exposed, Himeno, with a cute smile, starts touching them with her feet again.

(I can’t concentrate on studying like this.)

While it’s nice that she touches me, the embarrassment makes it impossible for my pen to make any progress.

However, despite using her legs to touch me, Himeno’s pen is making some progress.

It seems she’s gotten used to studying while touching with her feet, though the embarrassment is still there.

“You can touch me too, Taka-kun.”

Perhaps she prefers being touched rather than initiating it herself.

“I won’t be able to focus on studying.”

Indeed, just being touched makes it impossible for my pen to move, and my mind doesn’t function properly.

That alone might be tolerable, but there’s also the possibility that instincts might overpower reason.

Even though I have a strong sense of reason, I’m still a solid man.

However, assaulting her is something I absolutely don’t want to do.

While she desires affection, being forcefully taken is something she probably doesn’t desire.

Knowing that I won’t forcibly take her is precisely why Himeno engages in such affectionate moments like this. I can’t afford to betray her expectations.

“The reason you can’t concentrate is because you’re becoming sinful.”

With a playful smile, Himeno seems to have her own share of sinful thoughts

She should know she needs to concentrate on studying, yet she uses her feet to touch me because she wants to.

“It’s nice having a rational Taka-kun, but sometimes, it’s good to give in to sinful thoughts.”

“Only when I’m not studying.”

Himeno probably likes the rational me, but since falling in love, there are likely moments when she wants me to see her in a different light.

That’s probably why Himeno didn’t get upset when she felt my gaze on her chest in the bath.

Though being stared at all the time would probably be too much.

“Well, that’s true.”

Even though she says that, she doesn’t stop touching me with her feet, likely wanting to have some affectionate moments.

I’m sure Himeno herself is aware that she can’t concentrate on studying as much as usual, but it seems she just can’t resist the urge to touch.

It appears she’s rapidly falling more and more in love, just like me.

While it’s heartwarming, there’s also a desire for her to show some restraint.

With this, I might not fail the exams, but there’s a risk of getting lower scores than usual.

If my grades drop significantly, my parents might find out and scold me.

They probably won’t go as far as telling me to come to Russia, but it wouldn’t be a pleasant situation.

Himeno used to get embarrassed with even a little touch, but lately, she’s become quite proactive.

While it’s nice that she’s taking the initiative, it also makes me feel embarrassed.

“Take responsibility for not being able to concentrate and teach me properly.”

“Hehe. Gladly.”

I start touching Himeno’s feet, and our legs become entwined.

Studying while our legs are tangled wasn’t very productive, but we managed to study while Himeno taught me.
