"Even though I can handle chewing ice cubes, the tingling sensation when my fingertips touch the bottle is still a bit... you know?"

"Okay, I understand. That's fine then."

As Zhe spoke, he took out a tissue from his pocket and wrapped the drink bottle under Ailian's somewhat puzzled gaze, and finally handed it to the other party again.

"This is?"

"This should make things much better, right?"

"Well, thank you."

Ailian suddenly felt warm in his heart, and his favorability increased by 5 points to 85 points. He also gained 200 emotional points.

"By the way, does Airen also like to chew ice cubes?"

"I wouldn't say I like it, but chewing hard ice cubes makes my teeth feel a little comfortable."

As Ailian spoke, she bit the bottle subconsciously. The sharp collision instantly left two rows of clear teeth marks on the drink bottle.

This reminded Zhe of a piece of knowledge he had read before.

Because of the special way shark teeth grow, coupled with their strong curiosity and desire to eat, they subconsciously want to bite anything they see.

Although Ailian is a shark person and his habits are not exactly the same as sharks, he can usually control his desire.

Of course, this is just under normal circumstances...

"Oh, right!"

Zhe, who was just thinking about the last time he was bitten, suddenly woke up after hearing Ailian suddenly speak, and then saw the other party put coins into the vending machine again.

"Since you're here, I'll treat you to a can. What flavor do you want?"

After choosing the drinks, the two started drinking together. The taste of the sparkling drinks burst in their mouths and tasted quite good.

"Thank you for the drink. By the way, is Ailian free today? I'm just about to buy some ingredients. If you're okay, come to my house for dinner today."

Ever since the last incident, Ailian hasn't been to the video store for quite some time.

Even though I hypnotized myself and treated those things as dreams, I still felt some resistance in my heart.

After hearing this, Ailian hesitated, but after taking a look at Zhe in front of him, he finally agreed.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that next time you see me at the drink machine, you'll come find me."

"Of course no problem, let's go, what would Ailian like to eat?"

"Well...I love everything you cook."

As soon as she said this, Ailian realized that something was wrong.

What she originally meant was that Zhe was a good cook, so whatever he cooked was delicious, but the moment she said that, her meaning completely changed.

When Zhe heard this, he was also stunned, then he reacted and smiled slightly.

"Okay, then no matter what I make, you have to eat it."

"Ah."

Ailian was still feeling shy about what she had just said, but she nodded and agreed.

Although I feel that Zhe’s words are weird, I can even eat the food cooked by Lina, so what is there to be afraid of?

Chapter 102 Kelin: Mr. Zhe asked Kelin to help him with... (referring to housework)

After buying the ingredients, Zhe and Ailian returned to the video store. On the way, they talked about maid outfits.

"Come to think of it, Airen should be wearing a maid outfit right now, right?"

"Well, since school is closed today, I went to work and didn't have time to change back into my clothes."

Ailian nodded, appearing to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact her eyes were always looking at the expression on Zhe's face.

She seemed to be looking forward to what the other person would say next, and seeing this, Zhe did not ignore her and began to praise her without hesitation.

"Oh, this dress suits you perfectly. It's very cute. If there's a chance, can I come to your workplace to take a look?"

Although he knew that Ellen actually worked at Victoria Housekeeping, which handled hollow internal affairs, he also wanted to be served by her as a maid.

"Of course you can, but it's not cheap where I live."

"That's okay. If I can experience Ellen's maid service, it's totally worth it."

"Ju, actually said such a thing..."

Ailian looked at Zhe beside him with a conflicted expression. After thinking it over again and again, he finally made up his mind and spoke.

"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome..."

"Ok?"

"If you need anything, I can serve you in a while."

Hearing Ailian's words, Zhe was a little surprised.

"Oh? Is that okay? Would it be too much trouble for you?"

"No, I'm fine now anyway, and I'm wearing my work clothes."

"Okay, then for the next short period of time, Ailen will be my exclusive maid."

Zhe said with a smile on his face, and after hearing this, Ailian blushed slightly and nodded.

However, just as the two were on their way home, a customer arrived at the video store on the other side.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Ling looked at the girl in front of her who had twin ponytails, matcha-colored hair, and was wearing a maid outfit. She looked a little weak.

Just now, she had seen the other party standing at the door of the store in a dilemma, as if hesitating whether to come in. It seemed that this situation had been going on for some time.

Seeing that the other party didn't move, she took the initiative to open the door and asked what was the matter. After hearing the sound of the bell, the other party also raised his head.

"Eh? Um, um, sorry..."

When she heard the other person's voice, Ling noticed that the other person was actually a very cute girl, especially her sad and weak look, which gave people a different charm.

At this time, her first thought was, could it be that the other party was here to look for her brother?

"Excuse me, is Mr. Zhe at home today? I promised to come and help him do... do..."

After hearing the other party's words, Ling froze in place for a moment, looking at the maid outfit worn by the little girl in front of her and thinking about what had just been said.

She couldn't help but doubt again whether her brother was a pervert. After all, no decent person would order this kind of service!

But I'm not completely sure now, so it's better to ask again.

"Little sister, what's your name? How did you meet my brother? And why did you agree to that?"

Ling's series of questions startled the girl a little, but she then answered timidly.

"So Mr. Zhe is your brother? My name is Kelin. Mr. Zhe helped Kelin a lot before, so I wanted to repay him, so he asked me to come here when I'm free..."

After hearing the other person's name, Ling remembered that she was the girl they rescued from the cave.

How did I become so familiar with my brother? And it has even progressed to this point...

Ling's brows furrowed slightly, thinking to herself, "Damn it, brother, there's actually a girl I don't know about around you! This is pure betrayal!"

Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her expression became a lot fiercer, although she still looked very cute.

But when Kelin saw her expression, she was frightened. She thought she had said something wrong and wanted to apologize immediately.

Fortunately, Ling also noticed her at this time, and then she changed into the image of a gentle big sister next door, and warmly invited Kelin into the store.

After helping the other person sit down, Ling went to the door to wait for Zhe to come back and ask him what was going on.

Meanwhile, Zhe, who was still leisurely walking with Ailian, had no idea what was happening in the store.

At this time, he had already held hands with Ailian. As for why this happened?

That was because Ailian saw that both of his hands were holding food, and wanted to help him share the burden, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help carry a bag.

As a result, when he stretched out his hand to take the bag, their hands were held together for "inexplicably".

Zhe then said, "It's a lot easier with Ailen's help!" Upon hearing this, the latter's face immediately turned red, and she no longer had the thought of retracting her hand.

After all, the other party was holding it very tightly, and the bag seemed very heavy, so I just helped him.

Ailian thought so, but in fact, except for Zhe's slight tightening at the beginning, he had already loosened his hand afterwards, but the other party did not pull his hand back.

Holding the other person's soft and tender little hand, Zhe also smiled slightly. Since you don't resist, I won't be polite.

……(delete)

And Ailian obviously noticed the unusual movement of her hand, but she did not look over here. Her pale red cheeks and slightly trembling fingers announced that she was not at peace in her heart.

However, this harmonious scene did not last long. When he arrived not far from the video store, Zhe noticed Ling standing guard at the door.

The other party wanted to step forward and question angrily, but after seeing Zhe and Ailian holding hands, he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.

"Brother, you're finally back. Miss Ailian is here too. You must have worked hard buying groceries. Come, let me take them. Please come inside and take a seat."

Ling deliberately did not take the bag that Zhe and Ailian were carrying together, but the latter still took the initiative to let go of her hand at this time.

It also looked a little unnatural, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

However, Ling didn't care about these things, but spoke to Zhe again as if she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, brother, there's a guest at home looking for you. Go and see him as soon as possible."

After hearing Ling's words, Zhe was also a little confused. A guest, and he was looking for me, who could it be?

Thinking of this, he walked into the store, but when he saw Kelin sitting obediently in the store, Zhe was stunned.

Chapter 103 Master’s Order

"Kelin? Why are you here?!"

Before Zhe could say anything, Ailian on the side looked at Kelin who was sitting quietly in front of her with surprise.

At the same time, he immediately thought of how Kelin had left in a hurry today after finishing the commission and having her vacation time, saying that she wanted to repay her benefactor or something.

When Lekaan and Lina knew about this, they praised Kelin for being a good child who knew how to repay her gratitude. However, they didn't expect to run into her here.

At this time, Kelin on the opposite side also noticed this side. When she saw Zhe first, she immediately smiled, but then when she noticed Ailian, her smile immediately froze.

"Ai, Miss Ailian..."

It's like when you're working and suddenly run into a good friend at work, except that this way it's more like you're taking on private work.

That’s not right. Kelin did it to repay a favor and didn’t ask for anything in return, so it can’t be considered as such.

"So, the benefactor you're talking about is Zhe?"

"Yeah, he was in Sora before... and helped me out when I was in trouble."

Hearing Ailian's question, Kelin subconsciously wanted to talk about the first time they met in the hollow, but after realizing that the matter needed to be kept secret, she immediately changed her words.

And Ailian didn't hear anything wrong, but looked at Zhe beside her. The other party really had the image of a helpful person.

It’s just that a little girl like Kelin will inevitably arouse others’ desire to protect her whenever she encounters difficulties.

"I didn't expect that Kelin's benefactor is you. Lekaen and Lina said they wanted to come and thank you, but they are busy right now, so I'll do it for you."

Ailian was also very grateful to Zhe. After all, if he hadn't been there at that time, the troubles would have been even greater.

"You're welcome. After all, everyone gets into trouble sometimes. I just didn't expect that Ailian and Kelin actually know each other and are colleagues."

In fact, Zhe knew it a long time ago. Although he couldn't remember the specific details of the plot because it had been a long time, he still remembered the interpersonal relationships of some characters.

For example, if he wants to conquer Yuecheng Liu, he must first raise Cangjiao, so he feeds him whenever he has time these days.

The favorability has reached 90. It can only be said that the favorability can be improved just by feeding, which is unique.

The other party would occasionally come over to eat for free, which made Ling and Cangjiao become familiar with each other.

(In addition, the protagonist's understanding of the plot here only reaches the part about the Bale Building, and there is no more information after that about the outer ring.)

Back to the topic, when Ailian learned that Kelin's reward to Zhe was to clean the video store when she was free,

But in this case, wouldn't the purpose of the other party's visit today conflict with her plan to be Zhe's exclusive maid for a day?

Ailian knew Kelin's character. If she let her come, she would probably have nothing to do.
