Chapter 638: Chapter 638: The Contradictory Young Lady; Goodbye, Never to Meet Again
Right now, after the mental and physical counseling, she turned her back to him and quietly went to sleep.
Seeing that she didn’t want to say more, Hikari didn’t try to force a conversation.
After playing on his phone for a while, he also chose to sleep.
When she saw that Hikari had finally turned off the light, Rurikawa Tsubaki, who had her back to him, quietly let out a sigh of relief.
She secretly rubbed her palm.
There were several rows of small teeth marks on it.
She had bitten herself earlier without realizing it.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Although she had known from the start that Hikari, who was responsible for psychological counseling, should be a professional, his physical condition and counseling skills still surprised Rurikawa Tsubaki so much that she almost cried out.
It had been fine when she took the initiative the first time.
But when she let Hikari take over, she completely lost control. Both her body and mind followed his lead.
Even though after she decided to stop the first time, she had no desire to continue.
Yet after Hikari’s counseling, she actually started missing that feeling and even wanted more.
But she also knew that she lacked experience.
And her body had already reached its limit.
If they continued, she felt something would go wrong.
Fortunately, Hikari did not continue.
Still, Rurikawa Tsubaki was deeply impressed by the methods he used during the counseling.
Although she was the daughter of a noble family and had always been strictly controlled by her family, with almost no contact with men, she was not completely ignorant.
At home, she had secretly collected some novels, manga, and other study materials.
She knew those novels and manga usually exaggerated things.
Real situations could not possibly be that extreme.
But what Rurikawa Tsubaki never expected was that Hikari’s abilities, whether his physical condition or counseling skills, were even more unbelievable than she had imagined.
Perhaps because he knew it was her first experience and she could not handle too much.
Otherwise, if Hikari had continued helping her, Rurikawa Tsubaki felt she really would have broken down.
And when that happened, she might not only have had no objections, but might even have rolled her eyes and made a peace sign in agreement.
The kind of scene she had once thought was pure fantasy in manga, Rurikawa Tsubaki felt Hikari could probably make happen.
Fortunately, as a specially appointed professor at Shenghua Girls’ Academy, Hikari was still reasonable and did not continue.
After relaxing, the exhaustion from the intense counseling washed over her.
Before long, she fell asleep.
Rurikawa Tsubaki had actually never shared a bed with a man before.
But that night, lying in the same bed as Hikari, she was not nervous at all.
She even slept very soundly.
Perhaps it was because the huge pressure she had been carrying recently had finally been released, she drooled enough to soak a large patch of the bedsheet.
Not long after turning off the light, Hikari was still awake when he heard the girl’s faint snoring after she fell asleep.
Just as he was about to drift off, he noticed a small, soft figure moving closer and wrapping her arms around his waist.
It was none other than Rurikawa Tsubaki.
With her personality, this cold young lady would never willingly hug Hikari while sleeping.
She was clearly asleep now, and sleeping deeply.
In her dream, she had probably mistaken Hikari for the familiar body pillow she used at home.
Hikari lowered his head and looked at the cold young lady who had already pressed her head against his chest and curled up in his arms.
Feeling her movements, he understood that she was probably dreaming.
With her eyes closed in deep sleep, Rurikawa Tsubaki still had drool at the corner of her mouth. She looked nothing like the cold, world-weary girl she was when awake.
With that expression, she simply looked like a cute, innocent beauty.
And when he noticed that Rurikawa Tsubaki had wrapped both her arms and legs around him and was holding him tightly, Hikari did not push her away. Instead, he hugged her back.
Since Rurikawa Tsubaki was using him as a body pillow, he could use her as one too.
After all, daughters of wealthy families were usually soft and pleasant to hold. They made good sleep aids.

[The Next Morning]
Rurikawa Tsubaki woke up in a daze.
It felt as though she had returned to her bedroom with its fireplace. Her whole body felt warm and safe.
This was the most comfortable sleep she had had in weeks, and she had even had a pleasant dream.
Perhaps because so much pressure had finally been released, there was still a faint smile on her lips when she woke up.
Feeling the warmth of being held, Rurikawa Tsubaki instinctively snuggled closer into the embrace and naturally grew attached to the comfort.
But very quickly, she became fully awake.
When she realized that the warm embrace belonged to yesterday’s counselor, Hikari, and that she was currently in his arms while also hugging him, a faint blush appeared on her delicate face.
Thinking about how she had let herself go last night, two red patches quickly appeared on Rurikawa Tsubaki’s face.
She also felt somewhat ashamed. She had shared a bed with a man for an entire night.
Fortunately, she probably would never meet Hikari again after this. After repeatedly comforting herself, the heat in her cheeks slowly faded.
Still, she felt embarrassed about the fact that she had worn a cold expression all night yesterday but had woken up nestled in Hikari’s arms.
So she could not bring herself to keep enjoying the warm embrace. She quickly withdrew the arms and legs wrapped around his waist and quietly slipped out from under the blanket.
The morning chill immediately swept over her.
Rurikawa Tsubaki’s small body shivered on instinct.
A strong sense of reluctance toward that warm embrace suddenly rose inside her.
Not just physically, mentally as well.
She had truly slept very well last night.
That warm, secure feeling, for someone under as much pressure as she had been recently, was as addictive and difficult to let go of as a drug was to an addict.
"So handsome..."
Perhaps because of yesterday’s close interaction, as she looked at Hikari’s slightly turned face, her heartbeat sped up and she found it hard to look away.
Smack!
As if possessed, she leaned forward and lightly kissed him.
Although they had already engaged in deep exchanges and counseling yesterday, they had not kissed at all.
Yet early this morning, Rurikawa Tsubaki suddenly could not stop herself from doing it.
Although she felt a little embarrassed, she did not regret it. Instead, she felt a strange sense of happiness.
To be honest, before coming for counseling, Rurikawa Tsubaki had not held much hope. She had simply been trying anything she could.
But after this session, she felt she would remember it for the rest of her life.
Because Hikari’s counseling ability was simply too good.
Even at the beginning, when he barely stepped in and let her take the lead herself, Rurikawa Tsubaki experienced a kind of happiness she had never felt before.
And afterward, when Hikari personally guided her, she experienced a level of satisfaction and joy she had never known.
She had only covered her mouth and pretended to be sleepy because she was too embarrassed.
She would never forget that feeling.
Unfortunately...
She would never experience it again.
The corners of Rurikawa Tsubaki’s lips dropped, and her expression darkened.
She suddenly felt a little jealous of the girls from Seika Girls’ Academy who had gone to Hikari before her.
Not only had they experienced this wonderful way of releasing pressure earlier than she had, they could continue enjoying it afterward.
But what about her?
In just a few more days, her family would probably be completely ruined.
She would no longer be a so-called rich young lady, she would be poorer than an ordinary citizen.
More humble than Cinderella.
A girl with nothing, like a beggar.
Once she became a woman with nothing at all...
