When Petra learned that Shichen was now one of the "masters" of the mansion, she was even more determined to become a maid in the future as a way of repaying him.

The pay for working as a maid in the mansion is much higher than the pay for normal work in the village, and time won't stop her.

Besides, the little girl is so cute, she would be perfect as a maid.

After leaving the living room, Shichen arrived at Emilia's room door. Without knocking, he pushed the door open and entered.

In the simple room, there was a dazzling figure from behind.

"Shichen? What brings you here?" Emilia was startled by the sound of the door opening and turned around to see Shichen.

"Why are you still studying?" Shi Chen came to Emilia's side and found her looking at study materials.

“The royal selection has already begun, and I need to learn everything I don’t know as soon as possible,” Emilia replied with a smile.

"Working so hard... do you want to be king?"

“I…I don’t know either.” Emilia shook her head.

"Then why are you working so hard?"

"I just want to do my best." Emilia's little face was serious.

"Oh, that's amazing." Shi Chen raised his hand and placed it on her head, rubbing it gently.

"Honestly, Shichen, you're treating me like a child again." Emilia looked up, glaring at Shichen with displeasure, her cheeks puffed out.

"No, this is a compliment."

"Really? Since... you don't treat me like a child, then..." Emilia hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"what?"

"Time..."

Emilia pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then looked at him as if she had made up her mind: "Can you tell me what happened between you and Rem?"

"This is it?" Shi Chen frowned in surprise.

"Hmm... I don't know why, but I'm really bothered by it, and I want to know." Emilia pressed her hand to her chest.

Do you care...?

"Time, are you unwilling to tell me?" Emilia's eyes showed nervousness.

"Of course I'd like to, but how about tonight?" Shi Chen smiled.

"At night? Why?"

"I won't be bothered by Parker tonight, and it'll be dinner time soon, so I might miss dinner."

"Really? Okay then."

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted to hear from you earlier."

"Before?" Emilia blinked in confusion.

"What? You forgot? Back at the Crusch mansion, you said you had something to say to me."

"Ah~" Emilia remembered.

"You actually forgot?"

"Well, I've been a bit busy these past few days, so..." Emilia said apologetically.

"You actually forgot about it? It must not be anything important."

“No, it’s very important!” Emilia suddenly became serious.

"Really? Then I'll have to listen carefully tonight."

"Um......"

After dinner, Shichen played Gomoku with Esther and the others for a while, then went to take a bath by himself.

After taking a quick shower, he went straight to Emilia's room.

"Amelia?"

This time he knocked on the door.

"Please, please come in." Emilia's voice was tinged with nervousness.

Shichen pushed open the door and saw a gentle young woman who had changed into a pink and white nightgown and had her silver hair loose. She stood by the bed, a little reserved.

Shi Chen walked into the room, closed the door, then went to the bedside, sat down, and looked at her with a happy smile.

Why are you so nervous?

"No, no," Emilia denied, and sat down as well.

"Then tell me what you wanted to say that day."

"Huh? It's starting already? Shouldn't you have explained the time first?"

"Ladies first."

"How could this be... um, okay."

Emilia reluctantly accepted it. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Shichen, you said you liked me, right?"

"Yes," Shi Chen nodded in agreement.

"Then...why do you like me so much?"

"It was love at first sight. I liked you the moment I saw you."

"So that's how it is... You don't know the reason behind the Witch of Envy, do you?"

“But even now that I know, I still like you. And the fact that I liked you without knowing about the Witch of Jealousy means that I like the real you, doesn’t it?” Shichen retorted.

"It seems...that's how it is." Emilia pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turning up, her eyebrows curving into smiles.

"So, this is what you wanted to tell me?"

"Hmm... I still think it's a dream. Shi Chen, you actually like me, when there are so many girls who are better than me..."

"I like a girl named Emilia, not just any girl."

"Hmm... then, can you prove it to me?"

"prove?"

“Prove that you like me.” Emilia looked at Shichen earnestly.

“Proof? Of course, that’s perfect. I can explain to you what Rem and I did.”

"Just right?"

“Emilia.” Shichen turned to her and suddenly grabbed her shoulders.

"Time?"

Do you know what the most direct evidence is of someone liking another person?

"Hmm... I don't know."

"Really? Does Kiss know about this?"

"A kiss?!" Emilia suddenly tensed up.

"Looks like you knew." Shi Chen looked at her with a smile.

"So, Shichen, you're going to kiss me?" Emilia suddenly realized, then asked nervously.

Isn't this the best proof?

"Indeed...you really want to kiss me?" Emilia asked, her face showing anticipation.

Shi Chen's eyes showed a strange expression, but he still nodded.

"You really, really want to kiss me?"

"real."

"I really, really, really want to kiss you... Mmm!"

Chapter 526 The fog is coming

Thin and icy cold—that's the most direct feeling I get from this moment, accompanied by a slight tremor.

The girl was nervous, her eyes wide open.

The kiss came so suddenly that she didn't have a chance to react, and her mind went blank.

Shichen didn't take things any further; he merely skimmed the surface before parting ways with Emilia.

Emilia, however, was still in a daze, her face blank, as if she had been frozen in time.

Shi Chen looked at him amusedly, raised his hand, and stroked her cheek: "Are you silly?"

These words brought Emilia back to her senses. She blinked, then her face flushed red, the blush spreading to her ears.

"Time, you..."

“This is proof that I like you,” Shi Chen said with a smile.

"You like me..."

"Do you hate me for doing this?" Shichen asked.

"Do not......"

Emilia quickly shook her head and explained in a low voice, "I just... didn't react for a moment."

"So, what does that feel like?"

"What does it feel like?" Emilia looked at Shichen, not understanding.

"What else could it feel like? It felt like I was just kissed."

"Well......"

Emilia let out an embarrassed sob, her face flushed, and whispered, "It seems... I don't feel anything..."
