Chapter 405 - Drop of Blue Ink Part 2 (1/2)

After Lyn struggled with it again by herself, she grew increasingly restless. Watching Rhys relax made her grow even more frustrated.

”Even though he's smarter than me, he holds himself back like an idiot. Maybe all this holding back has actually made him stupid. I mean, he talks more with his fists than words… I can't believe he beat somebody else up in public like that…”

”Heh... You talk alot..”

Lyn realized what she ended up saying and covered her mouth. Oops... she was saying what she was thinking out loud...! Uh oh, this is bad. Stupid big mouth, why didn't she keep quiet?

”It-it's nothing now!”

The girl tried to make her escape, yet he grabbed hold of her arm, ”Hmm. You're lying. Did I hear correctly? You were saying bad things about me.”

Although he was still half asleep, he had heard quite clearly what the girl said about him. Though that was the case, Rhys didn't recall telling her anything about that matter. Must have been that pesky brother of hers. Rhys didn't understand Lyn's eldest brother very well. There are occasions where it feels like the man is trying to set him up with Lyn.

It's true Kazuya's status doesn't match with Lyn's. However, Rhys didn't think they would try to set them up together. The reason why he came over here was because his room genuinely needed fixing. Still, Rhys didn't think Lyn was studying over here. The one who gave him this tip is her eldest brother.

”I. .didn't do it on purpose,” Lyn shyly looked down. The girl hesitantly drew her hand back, ”A--also, you seem to have a fever. I think you should get someone to check...”

When he saw the look on her face, a sly smile appears on his face. Suppose it can't be helped. She really is helpless without him. ”Very well. Give that to me.”

Lyn at him clearly surprised, ”Huh?” she blinked, confused.

”Well, hurry up before I change my mind.”

Rhys felt very tired; his entire body felt terrible all over. However, he couldn't exactly watch Lyn suffer. Rhys wanted to help her from the very beginning, but he felt a splitting headache.

”Y-yes,” Lyn said, immediately handing him the stuff. After a while, though, Lyn mumbled,”…You don't have to redo everything voluntarily...”

Currently, Rhys was going over the girl's answer with a pen. It's not like she made many clumsy mistakes. Her way of handling these problems despite nobody educating her properly was very good. This girl isn't a genius like Kazuya. She has many shortcomings. However, she isn't an average person either.

Rhys sighed, ”... It's impossible for you to not worry about this problem.”

Lyn gave him yet another puzzled look, yet he didn't bother explaining. There isn't a need to, after all. The entire time he answered the problems, Rhys kept an eye on her. Dark circles under her eyes, and she looks thinner than before.

”Yes, we're done.”

Lyn's eyes widened when she saw the
