World Aid Guide

Seeing Chen Lin praise her, Mari breathed a sigh of relief, but... would he think she was a weird girl if she suddenly posted such a photo?

Mari waited for a long time but Chen Lin didn't ask her why she posted a selfie.

Chen Lin could roughly guess why Mari sent the selfie; for her to show her body directly to others in order to adapt to their gaze seemed a bit too much for her.

To gradually adapt, she decided to post some selfies first, to get used to the feeling of being shy in front of Chen Lin.

Chen Lin later confirmed this in a chat with Mari.

Posting selfies of herself wearing only underwear is embarrassing, but compared to Chen Lin seeing them directly, seeing them through a phone screen makes her less shy.

Hurry up and release those lewd pictures online; there are plenty of socially anxious people in real life.

Across screens and the internet, some people are wearing masks while others are taking them off.

Mari: [Although this is for treatment, it's a bit... Consultant, could I send you some photos first, and start the treatment after I've gotten a little more used to it?]

Chen Lin: [No problem. By the way, you don't always need to call me consultant, just call me Chen Lin.]

On the other end of the phone, Mari looked at the message Chen Lin sent and pursed her lips. Was it inappropriate to call him by his name directly? As she pondered this, Mari had a bold idea.

Sakura is his classmate, and he is Sakura's older brother.

It's not appropriate to call him by his name directly, so... how about I call him "brother" like Sakura does?

May I call the consultant "brother"?

After typing in the chat box, Mari hesitated. Was it too bold to call him "brother" directly? Would he think she was a strange girl?

However... I've already sent him a selfie of myself wearing only underwear, so I guess the consultant probably already thinks I'm a strange girl.

After hesitating for a while, Mari, feeling hopeless, sent out the message.

Chen Lin: [Okay.]

call......

After receiving Chen Lin's reply, Mari breathed a sigh of relief and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Thinking of this, Mari stood up, raised her phone, and took several selfies in front of the dressing mirror, covering her face with the phone. She then sent them to Chen Lin.

at the same time.

A sneeze!

Sakura, who was cooking in the kitchen, sneezed. Strange... Was someone thinking about her?

"Do you have a cold? Do you need my magic to heal you?"

Alice, who was cooking with Sakura, asked with concern. Alice had now become a member of the family.

Sakura sniffed.

"Maybe someone is thinking of me? Hehe~ In our world, there's a legend that sneezing means someone is thinking of you."

I think I just heard my brother's car. He must be thinking about me.

Thinking about this made Sakura feel much better.

……

With Maple and Ling absent, there were only four people at Chen Lin's dining table today. This time, Sakura learned her lesson and took the seat next to Chen Lin first, leaving Alice and Ikis, who were a step behind, to sit opposite the brother and sister.

Seeing the fleeting look of disappointment on Alice's face, Sakura's lips curled into a smile.

Hmph... I'm just reserving this spot for Feng!

Come to think of it, Rin hasn't told me what her secret weapon is yet... What exactly did Rin have to do with Kaede that made Kaede behave?

Thinking about Feng, Sakura, who was eating, was a little distracted. She didn't notice that Alice's gaze towards Chen Lin had become more cunning.

Alice picked up a slice of salad and put it in her mouth, her blue eyes widening instantly to reveal a happy expression.

"This salad is delicious. Sakura, could you teach me how to make the dressing later?"

"Sure, no problem. I'll let you in on a secret: the secret to this sauce is adding crushed egg yolks."

Sakura and Alice were exchanging cooking tips, while Chen Lin, standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat.

Sakura took the seat next to Chen Lin, so Alice chose the seat directly opposite Chen Lin.

As for the reason... the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

Sitting opposite Chen Lin, Alice could touch him with her feet if she leaned in a little deeper.

A silky, almost imperceptible touch traveled from the instep to the calf, finally resting playfully on Chen Lin's knee. Alice seemed to want to go further, but unfortunately... her legs were too short.

If it were Iges instead, there would definitely be no problem.

Just as Alice was about to retract her mischievous leg...

Clamp!

Chen Lin used his knee to trap Alice's unruly little feet.

Alice is so audacious! It was one thing to play a prank on me yesterday when I was sitting next to her, but now that Sakura is sitting next to her, she's still playing pranks on me.

Although Sakura's attention was focused on the table, she could spot the ice cream that had fallen onto Chen Lin's lap with just a slight shift in her gaze.

Alice is so bold, I can't back down.

Sitting in the chair, Chen Lin subtly moved his body forward, then turned slightly to the side and placed his fingertips on Alice's soles.

"Speaking of which... has Alice ever eaten ice cream?" Chen Lin smiled as he looked at Alice, who was tense. He could feel Alice's toes straining to resist the tickling sensation on the soles of her feet.

"Ice cream? I've never had it." Although she was straining with her toes, Alice pretended that nothing had happened.

"Ice cream made with milk is snow-white, sweet, smooth, and delicious. Alice, you must try it if you have the chance." Chen Lin suppressed a laugh. "Speaking of which, Sakura can make ice cream, right?"

"Oh right, I made this once before, and I happen to have some milk in the fridge, so I'll make it for you guys later... It's been a long time since I've made it, so I need to watch the video again. Don't complain if it's not good!"

Clever Alice had already guessed what Chen Lin meant by ice cream. Hers was milk ice cream, so what kind of ice cream did Igis have?

Alice wanted to pull back the ice cream that Chen Lin was holding, but she didn't dare to make any big moves in front of Sakura. She just looked at Chen Lin with pleading eyes from time to time when Sakura and Igis were distracted by talking.

Chen Lin didn't care about any of that.

Alice has been so bold, so let her be found out. Anyway, she can't hide it for long, and Sakura will find out sooner or later.

While eating with one hand, the other hand gently traces the surface with the fingernail, as smooth and tender as ice cream melted by body heat, without a single rough spot.

Alice, trying hard to suppress her laughter, tensed her body, barely daring to breathe for fear of accidentally bursting out laughing.

"!!!"

Although it wasn't a big deal if Sakura found out, Chen Lin stopped teasing her after playing with the ice cream for a while. Even the thick-skinned Chen Lin would have blushed if Sakura had found out.

Relieved, Alice quickly hid her feet under the chair, afraid that Chen Lin would tickle her soles again.

However... since he wants to eat ice cream.

"Sakura, teach me how to make ice cream later. Even if it doesn't taste good, Mr. Advisor, you have to eat it all!"

Chapter 14 Alice: Plan Goes Well √

Boil the milk, add a little water, sugar, and starch, stir well, pour it into molds, and then freeze it magically. A row of milk ice cream is quickly made.

The bottom of the ice cream started to melt first. To avoid getting her clothes dirty, Alice tilted her head back and carefully tasted the ice cream from the bottom up.

The ice cream melts faster when it comes into contact with body temperature, and Alice can't eat it as fast as it melts. It's her first time eating ice cream and she's at a loss, so she can only put all the cold ice cream into her mouth and wrap it with her lips and teeth.

Alice ate her ice cream while glancing at Chen Lin from time to time.

After eating ice cream, Sakura and Ikis cleaned up the kitchen together. Alice wanted to help, but Ikis refused... How could the princess do such a thing? Let her handle it.

As Alice watched the two cleaning up the kitchen, she tugged at Chen Lin's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.

"Mr. Consultant, when you're assisting me tonight... could you assist me until I pass out? It would be best if... you were a little rough, or you could scold me a bit."

"???"

Chen Lin looked at Alice with surprise, her face flushed. She actually had this kind of interest?

Seemingly noticing Chen Lin's thoughts, Alice quickly explained.

"No... that's not it. This is to get Eges involved in the aid as well. Eges has always felt guilty towards me."

"Understood, no problem."

"There's no time to explain. Just do as I say, Mr. Consultant!" After saying that, Alice glanced at the kitchen, then resumed her normal sitting posture. Apart from a slightly flushed face, she looked perfectly normal.

Why is it that Alice, despite being trembling with shyness, can still do incredibly daring things without hesitation?

If the kitchen hadn't already been cleaned once before, and cleaning up the mess from making ice cream wouldn't take much time, Chen Lin had no doubt that Alice would try something else while they were in the kitchen.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Alice and Eges stayed in Chen Lin's living room for a while before taking some ice cream back home.

"Brother, do you want more ice cream? If not, I'll take some to Miss Deep Winter; she'll probably like it."
