Perhaps it was because she was caught off guard and had no speech in mind, or perhaps it was just because she was shy and reserved that she found it difficult to speak. Ximei was like a malfunctioning tape recorder. She first said "I" for a long time, and then "you" for a long time.

At the same time, her gaze quickly swept across the faces of Xia, Hesha and Lin En.

But despite this, Lin En could still feel that the girl seemed to glance at him again at the last moment?

But what makes people feel a little regretful is that even after so much preparation, after saying "I" and "you" for a long time, Xi Mei with red cheeks finally did not say the answer in her heart, but glared at Xia "fiercely".

"I want you to take care of it!"

"Aha..."

After sighing with a wry smile, Ai Li subconsciously looked around at her companions in the dessert department.

For some reason, looking at her companions with different expressions, she suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.

What surprised her even more was that this strange sense of crisis seemed to be... exactly the opposite of the emotion she had felt deep in her heart when she recounted her encounter with Lin En that night in front of the curious Xia friends?

This was the first time that such a feeling arose in Ellie's heart.

Although she didn't know what this was, she felt like she was becoming a competitor to everyone...

She felt very disgusted.

If...if she could choose, she would rather...

"Hmm? Is there anything you want to say, Ellie?"

"Eh?"

Perhaps because she was too immersed in her inner world, she had no idea when Lin En started to pay attention to her. She didn't even realize that he noticed her and couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.

"I...I just..."

Looking at Ai Li's hesitant look, He Sha couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's okay, Ellie. We are not strangers. Let's say..."

As if she had thought of something, Hesa ​​narrowed her eyes and looked at Ai Li sitting opposite her, revealing a meaningful smile.

"What is that that cannot be heard by Teacher Lin En?"

“No… that’s not the case. Rather, I hope that Teacher Lin En can hear it…”

Seeing that Ai Li's voice was getting smaller and smaller for some reason, Xia couldn't help but tilt his head curiously.

"Hmm... This seems to be the first time I see Ai Li like this. Are you okay?"

At this time, even Ximei, who had been a little at odds with Xia just now, asked Ai Li beside her with a little concern.

"Is there something on Ellie's mind?"

"No...I..."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ai Li hesitated for a moment, clenched her fists, and then spoke to them as if she had finally made up her mind.

"I just... I just hope to be able to live happily with everyone like this forever! That's all!"

"what the hell……"

After hearing Ai Li's declaration, Kazusa couldn't help but chuckle.

"Isn't this what we [After School Dessert Department] are doing all the time?"

"Yeah, this is our daily life now, isn't it?"

Kimi, who was sitting next to Ai Li, held her cheek and said this with a smile while looking at the girl.

"Yeah... But having said that, life is like a box of chocolates..."

"You never know what the next one will taste like...right?"

It seemed that Xia had never expected that Lin En would actually take over his words, and his expression was stunned.

For a moment, not to mention Xia, even the other people in the dessert department did not expect that Lin En could not only understand Xia's usual chattering, those words that sounded very mysterious, but could even take over her words.

"But..."

Lin En, who was hesitant to speak, chuckled and stretched out his clenched fists with the backs of his hands facing up to the people in the dessert department.

"Well, do you want to guess? Left or right?"

Although Lin En did not say anything extra, everyone in the dessert department immediately understood what he was going to do.

"I guess on the left!"

"Although I also wanted to say the left side, but after hearing Xia Ye choose the left side, I felt a little uncertain..."

After hearing Xia's judgment without hesitation, Ximei began to mutter to herself hesitantly.

"If that's the case, then I'll choose the right side, okay, teacher?"

Facing Kasa who asked him this with a smile, Lin En also shrugged with a nonchalant smile.

"No problem. After all, I didn't say you can only choose one side, right?"

After hearing what Lin En said, Ai Li hesitated for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Then... Then I'll do the same as Kazusa-chan and choose the right side..."

Seeing that the four people had made their choices, Lin En took the lead in turning his left hand over, and then slowly opened it.

“It’s empty…”

"I knew there wouldn't be any!"

Amid Xia's grumbling and Ximei's complaints, Lin En smiled and slowly opened his right hand as well.

“…Is this side empty too?”

"……Eh?"

As the right hand opened, in addition to the surprised voice of Kazusa and the puzzled voice of Ai Li, Xia and Ximei also looked at Lin En with doubts, who had no idea what was going on.

"That's right... You should have seen that my two hands were empty just now... right?"

After seeing everyone in the dessert department nodding, Lin En chuckled and clenched his fists again.

"So...are you still interested in guessing again?"

Chapter 120 This is the adult's method

Hearing Lin En's question, everyone in the dessert department looked at each other in confusion.

In their opinion, Lin En did not put his hand into his pocket, nor did he cover it with anything. So logically speaking, Lin En's hands should still be empty at this time.

But just when others were still hesitating, someone had already made the choice.

“I think it’s still on the left!”

Seeing Xia still as excited as before for some reason, Hesha who was sitting next to her couldn't help but wonder.

"Hello? Xia, didn't you see just now that Teacher Lin En should have nothing in her hands right now?"

“Well… that’s true, but that was just now, wasn’t it?”

"……what?"

Facing Hesha who was looking at him in astonishment, Xia raised his index finger and shook it gently.

"Didn't Teacher Lin En just say, 'You never know what's hidden in your next fist'..."

"That's not what the teacher said at all!"

Ximei, with an annoyed look on her face, rudely interrupted Xia's words and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it. If that's the case... I'll choose the left side just like before."

Seeing that Xia and Ximei had both "changed sides", Hesha didn't say anything more, but just shrugged indifferently.

"Then I'll continue to choose the right side."

As for Ellie, although she didn't continue speaking, she nodded slightly when Lin En looked at her.

Then Lynn smiled and nodded.

"Then... the next step is to witness a miracle."

As Lin En said this, he slowly opened his left hand under the gazes of the four people in the dessert department, all with different expressions.

"Whoa?!"

"Uh oh..."

Seeing the two candies that appeared in Lin En's palm at some point, not to mention Ximei, even Xia couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes and exclaimed in surprise with a reaction that was completely different from Ximei's.

In addition to the two of them, Kazusa and Ai Li also showed surprised expressions.

"Is it possible... could it be that?"

Hearing Ai Li's somewhat unbelievable muttering, Lin En smiled silently and spread out his right hand.

Just as the girl expected, there were also two candies lying quietly in the palm of her right hand.

"If you answered correctly, this is your reward."

After everyone took the candy from Lynn's hands with a slightly surprised look, he smiled and continued to speak to them.

"This is the adults' method... or you can also call it a means."

"Wow... I feel like this is a word that sounds particularly bad..."

Hearing this, Ximei, who was crunching the candy in her mouth into pieces, muttered.

"Yes. In a sense, it is indeed a very bad word."

Lin En first spread his hands helplessly, but then he chuckled.

"So, what you need to do now is to enjoy your daily life peacefully as usual. As for other matters, I, as an adult, will be responsible for solving them with adult means."

"oh oh……"

At this moment, not only Ai Li, but even Xia looked at Lin En with shining eyes as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Haha... I didn't expect that you, teacher, are someone who likes to show off."

In response to the slightly teasing words from Kasa who lifted her hair up beside her ear, Lynn replied with a nonchalant smile.

"I just wanted to show off in front of my students. It's not something to be ashamed of, right?"

"That's it, that's it..."

Xia nodded seriously and pondered for a moment, then suddenly jumped down from his seat.

"In that case, to reward Teacher Lin, let the teacher sit in my seat!"

"What kind of reward is this?"

Hearing Ximei's words, which sounded like complaints or some other emotion, Lin En couldn't help but look puzzled.

"No problem, no problem!"

Seeing that Lin En seemed to be still a little hesitant, Xia reached out and grabbed Lin En's arm, then gently pulled it.

Although Xia doesn't look tall and a little thin, she is very strong.

After being forcibly dragged down to sit next to Hesha, who also had a stunned look on her face, before Lin En could say anything, Xia, who was standing next to him, jumped up with a "hey" and sat on Lin En's lap.

"Okay! This should be OK..."

"OK, you big head ghost! And by the way, Xia, what on earth do you want to do!"

Kimi, who had unknowingly become the one making complaints about the dessert department, once again slammed the table and complained loudly.

"Aha..."

Amid Ai Li's somewhat embarrassed sigh, Xia blinked and looked at Ximei with some confusion.
