Lilia might think that Merry was studying hard, but it wasn't quite like that. Merry was currently in her own apartment, sitting at her study table with a miserable face. She was forced by Chris to read through her textbooks. Chris deprived her of sleep before she finished reading it all.
Merry suspected that Chris might have put her life on purpose like this, because he knew she didn't like reading. It all started with what happened this afternoon, when they were playing online games together. Chris played so badly that Merry mocked him as a 'noob'. But that title joke hurt Chris's self-esteem even more than Merry had imagined.
The man's face turned fierce like a debt collector and he forbade Merry to play games. Plus, Chris gave her the reading assignment she hated the most. Merry did not accept the punishment that was too severe, but she did not dare to oppose Chris.
