"What the hell did you do? How did the other person become one of yours? I don't understand, I really don't understand."

Lin Qi quickly raised a question: Could it be that the other party had made some kind of arrangement in advance?

At this moment, Erina crossed her arms over her chest, looking smug.

"Why wouldn't I take in such a talented person? Why should I let her wander around outside slowly figuring things out on her own? Following me will give her a better platform and allow her to become stronger more effectively. At the same time, she will become my right-hand woman, isn't that great?"

Erina looked proud at that moment, as if she were saying something that was perfectly natural.

Lin Qi pursed his lips when he saw the other person's appearance.

"Come on, you only beat them because you have a silver tongue and your skills are a bit better than theirs, and their performance is inconsistent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have won at all."

Erina ignored these comments, instead tilting her head to look at Lin Qi and speaking in a curious tone:

"Isn't what you're describing my strengths? So what's the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi said, "You're absolutely right. I'm speechless."

"According to you, you took him in as your subordinate, so why is he still like this? Come on, tell me, you took him in, but what did he do after he became your subordinate?"

Lin Qi's probing question immediately caused the other person's proud expression to vanish, leaving him frozen in place.

It has to be said that this question really hit the nail on the head. You know, it's not like she hasn't tried to change the other person, but the results haven't been obvious. Even she herself has a headache thinking about this.

"Don't bother me, what's it to you? I can handle this myself. You stranger, just get away from them."

Erina said that no matter what, she should protect the other party first to avoid Zhang's poisonous hands.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Lin Qi crossed his arms and adopted an arrogant demeanor.

"Who's a stranger? If we're talking about who's known me, I've known you for ages. Who do you think taught the other person to swallow hostages?"

Erina:! ! !

Erina originally thought the two had no connection and that this guy was trying to seduce and harass the other person, so she planned to stop him.

The situation suddenly seemed more complicated than it appeared, causing her to look surprised and puzzled. She then narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Lin Qi.

Are you sure you weren't joking with me just now?

"Why would I lie to you? To be honest, I also dug it out from my memories. After all, I had no choice. It seems that even before I awakened, my luck was incredibly good. I knew quite a few female leads and supporting actresses."

Erina was also troubled by this reply. She originally wanted to stop the two of them from seeing each other, but they got along well, and the other person was someone she had known since childhood.

"At most, your friends are just childhood playmates or acquaintances."

Erina immediately defined their relationship, a point that Lynch did not refute.

"What you said is indeed correct, but so what?"

"So what if they're acquaintances from elementary school? Acquaintances are acquaintances, and that can't be changed."

"Even the things I taught her, the other person is still using them now, doesn't that prove something?"

Erina:! ! !

After hearing this, Erina realized she couldn't refute it, but after thinking for a moment, she found a way to approach the situation.

"This is the world's corrective force, that's right, it's because of the corrective force. After all, the other party should have had this habit originally, it's just that you're the one teaching me. This is because of the corrective force, it has nothing to do with you. Don't be so narcissistic."

Erina declared that she hadn't wasted her time in the chat group! She was no longer the clueless young lady she was back then, or rather, when she joined the chat group.

...

P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!

Chapter 357 Erina: Alice is an idiot!

"Fine"

"As for your ideas, do whatever makes you happy. But let me be frank, can you really get the other party to spend their money? Don't waste someone's talent."

"To be honest, and don't think I'm insulting you, you're still at a zero in terms of cooking skills, while others have already embarked on the path of cooking. Once you reach level 10, you'll truly have cooking skills."

"Don't let your own subordinates crush you, Miss. It would be a laughing stock if word got out."

Upon hearing this, Erina lost her previous queenly demeanor and instead clenched her fists, looking resentful.

"hateful!"

"Although I'm currently lagging behind in this area, once I break through, you just wait and see how I make rapid progress."

Erina stated that she is not someone who gives up easily.

"Fine"

"Anyway, I can't help you with this, since it depends on the individual."

"Honestly, if you can't train her, you might as well just fire her and I'll train her on how to make her a maid in my house. I'll give her a few pointers now and then, and it will be much more effective than keeping her at your school."

After hearing this, Erina calmed down, glanced at Lin Qi, and realized that she seemed to understand this guy's purpose. It turned out that he wanted to poach people.

"Get lost! You even want to poach my people? What are you trying to do?"

Lin Qi didn't care that the other person was angry, and instead shamelessly moved closer.

"Nothing can separate me from you. What's yours isn't mine, and what's mine is yours. After all, we're the closest of friends!"

Erina blushed upon hearing this, and glared at Lin Qi with an excited expression, as if to say, "Don't you have any shame to say these things in public?"

Lin Qi didn't waste any words. He picked up a dish in front of the other person and started eating. After taking a bite, he found it was alright, but only for an ordinary person. He still finished it off without any expression.

"Erina, you can't keep going like this. I feel like Alice will beat you soon."

When Erina heard this, she thought that the guy was joking and teasing her, so she immediately crossed her arms and resumed her arrogant posture.

"Are you kidding me? It's just Alice, I can easily handle you. Who do you think you are?"

Looking at the other person's confident demeanor, Lin Qi felt an urge to refrain from discouraging him.

"While confidence is a good thing, the most important thing is to recognize your own limitations. You know what? Alice has finally reached 0.0001 in that area, or rather, she has successfully broken the duck egg. You know, at midnight it was still zero, but now it's different."

Erina was a little confused at first, but then she instantly realized what was happening. Her violet eyes widened in disbelief, and she was truly shocked.

"Impossible, how could this be? Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Erina simply couldn't believe that Alice, who was on the same level as her—no, wait, so far behind her—had actually taken the first step onto the path of cooking. What kind of situation was this?

"Why would I joke with you? It's true, someone has indeed embarked on this path. To be honest, I also want to ask you, what has that person been doing? I promised him I wouldn't use my abilities to investigate this matter, so I came here to gossip a bit. After eating his breakfast today, I was completely stunned. In my estimation, it will take at least a long time."

"The results came so early. You two are from a large family and are cousins, do you have any information or anything like that?"

After hearing this, Erina realized that this guy wasn't joking with her. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself and then entered memory mode. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall anything related to the story. She could only shake her head, looking helpless.

"I'd also like to know the answer to this. To be honest, all I remember is that the other person seemed to be practicing like crazy to improve their cooking skills during this period."

"At the time, I thought the other side was honing their skills in advance for the upcoming autumn selection competition, trying to improve their abilities. Now it seems there might be a problem."

Erina spoke up with a worried tone, after all, the other party's situation was a bit abnormal. She hadn't noticed it before, but now, combined with what Lin Qi said, there really was a problem.

You know, no matter what, she's my cousin, and we're probably the closest people in our relationship. So I'm really worried that something might have happened to her, or that she might have accidentally gone astray. I definitely have to prevent that from happening, and if it does, I have to find a way to bring her back.

"And what about you? Don't you really have any thoughts or ideas at all? You can't have done this for no reason."

Lin Qi fell silent after hearing this, then thought for a moment, looked up and asked the other person a question.

Do you know when the other person started practicing this intensely?

“I promised people I wouldn’t look at things like that, and I will definitely keep my word. You should know what kind of person I am. I won’t break my promise unless absolutely necessary.”

When Erina heard this, I felt a toothache too. Why is this guy so professional?

"Let me think about it first."

Erina looked troubled as she pondered, and then an idea came to her.

"It lasted for about 20 days."

I can only give a somewhat inaccurate answer, but that's enough.

After hearing this, Lin Qi thought for a moment. More than 20 days. Could it be related to him? Then he remembered that more than 20 days ago he had saved the other person and then went on a date with them.

Lin Qi instantly reviewed the memory fragments, reciting the entire date's sequence without missing a single detail. Only a fraction of a second had passed outside by the time Lin Qi finished reviewing them.

Lin Qi realized he seemed to know something, and his lips twitched slightly. He then looked at the other person with a strange expression.

"I think I know the answer."

Erina:? ? ?

Erina was just trying it out, but she didn't expect it to actually be related to this guy?

"What did you do to Alice? Why is she fighting so hard?"

"Or did you unknowingly give the other person special treatment? Explain that to me clearly."

When Erina said this, she looked like she was complaining, as if she were saying, "You scumbag, who is your real girlfriend?"

Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless about this situation, but still gave the answer based on his memory.

"It seems that one day, or just before that, I went out to eat with someone at a restaurant run by a celebrity chef. The other person was eating with their mouth full of oil, because the food was really good, but I couldn't taste anything special. Seeing how happy they were eating, I think the envy in their eyes was something they noticed."

Lin Qi stopped talking at this point, and Erina instantly understood. After all, she was her cousin, and she knew her personality and situation very well.

"So Alice, that idiot, went crazy all this time because of you, huh?"

"Damn it! That idiot actually went to such lengths for you, a scumbag, just to make you feel like the food tastes good."
