"This...don't be too impulsive."

"Great!"

"..."

Seeing Rem jumping up in excitement, Shichen wondered if she would lose control and thought about pushing him in the opposite direction.

He just hoped that she wouldn't ignore everything.

Leaving the courtyard and returning to the room, Shichen and Rem separated.

Rem went to the kitchen contentedly.

Although she was here as a guest, she still wanted to make snacks for Shichen herself and even pay for it.

This was what Rem wanted to do, and Shichen would not stop her. Besides, there was no need to be polite in front of Crusch's family. After all, they needed his help now.

Shichen came to Emilia's room.

As expected, Emilia was a good child. She was reading and studying seriously. Shichen stared at her at the door for a long time but did not find any signs of her slacking off.

It's a pity that Emilia is a bit unsuitable to prevent learning.

If it were someone else, the time would be disrupted.

So why study hard?

When Shichen came to Emilia, he gently patted her shoulder.

"Shichen? Why are you here?" Emilia was attracted by Shichen and looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Let me see you."

Shi Chen glanced at Emilia's study materials. There were just a bunch of words and not even a picture, so he decided not to read them.

"Look at me?" Emilia blinked.

"You've been studying in your room since lunch, and you haven't come out yet. Aren't you bored?"

"No, I have to hurry up and study to catch up with the others."

What she was referring to, of course, were the other candidates for king.

"We are here as guests at Crusch's house. There is no need to work so hard at this time." Shichen rubbed her head.

Emilia looked up at his hands and smiled: "But I can't find anything to do."

"You can talk more with Crusch to improve your relationship. Don't you want to catch up with them? You can try to learn from her."

“This seems like a good idea~”

Emilia's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated: "But won't it disturb her?"

As the head of the Karlsten family, Kurushi has a lot of things to deal with, and he may not have any free time at the end of the day.

Not only her, but Phyllis was also very busy and left the mansion in the afternoon.

Ferris is the most powerful and youngest healer, and she is also a member of the Royal Guard Knights, so she is responsible for the treatment.

Many people seek her treatment.

"What does it matter? She has troubled us, so why can't you trouble her? I believe she will be happy to answer your questions."

Shichen had not stated the reward for helping them defeat the white whale, but Kuromichi was the pride of a noble, so he wouldn't do it for free.

For her, Emilia's advice was definitely what she wanted to see.

"Really?" Emilia still hesitated.

"If you're just joking about the king candidate thing, then you can just ignore what I said."

"Really, Shichen, you are so mean. You know I am serious, yet you still say that." Emilia pouted in dissatisfaction.

She looked a little cute like this, which made Shi Chen laugh: "There's nothing I can do about it. Don't say that. You definitely won't make up your mind."

"I understand. I'm not the kind of person who only cares about others. I will do my best to get what I want."

"That's pretty good." Shichen rubbed her head to show his praise.

"Shichen, do you... like being patted on the head so much?" Emilia suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Who made your hair so beautiful? And so silky and cool."

"Hair... isn't it all the same?"

"Indeed, but what if I like touching your head more?"

"Hmm...even if other people's hair is silver?"

"Don't worry, I like your silver hair, not other people's silver hair."

"I understand..." Emilia lowered her head, her face gradually turned red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

"Okay, go ahead and continue studying. I won't bother you anymore."

"that......"

Just as Shichen was about to leave, Emilia suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen looked at her puzzledly.

"I...um...by the way, should I go to Crusch to ask for advice now?" Emilia hurriedly found a topic.

"Crouch should still be bathing, please wait a little longer."

"Bath? How do you know?" Emilia couldn't help asking.

"Wasn't she just practicing swordplay with old man Wilhelm? Of course she has to take a shower if she's sweating."

“So that’s how it is.” Emilia seemed a little embarrassed.

"Haha~ Are you jealous?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

"Jealous?" Emilia tilted her head in confusion.

"...It's because I have a good relationship with other women, and you care about it."

"Is this jealousy? I, I don't care..." Emilia's eyes were wandering, too embarrassed to look at the time.

"Why are you still so arrogant?"

"Tsundere? Shichen always says some weird words."

"Don't worry about that. Just get down to business. What exactly did you want to tell me just now?"

"I can't really hide it from you, Shichen."

"You are too easy to understand."

"Well... forget it. I'm not going to talk about it here."

"You're not going to tell it here?"

"Okay! I'll talk to Shichen about it when we get back." Emilia nodded and said seriously.

"Really? Okay." Shi Chen didn't care.

"Then I'll go play with Betty and the others."

"it is good."

After leaving Emilia's room, Shichen returned to his own room and played Gobang with the two little girls.

During this time, Rem also came with the snacks she made.

The afternoon passed quickly.

At dinner time, Ferris did not come back, and Crusch, who was doing office work, came late.

They had already eaten by then.

Crusch had told the servants that while Shichen was here, they had to treat her like she was.

At this time, they were not sure how long Crusch would be busy, so they ate first.

After finishing dinner, Shichen and the others left, leaving Crusch to have dinner alone.

She still has work to do, so there is no need for them to accompany her.

Rem also learned Gobang, and returned to the room, where they continued playing in pairs.

Shichen and Rem are in a group.

With two heads complementing each other and filling in the gaps, a game of Go took a while to finish, and the board was almost filled with black and white pieces.

Before they knew it, it was late at night. Shichen let the three of them continue playing while he went to take a bath first.

Rem also wanted to come, but was rejected by him.

Now that Rem is in the same bathroom with him, he can't control himself anymore, but this is someone else's territory, so it's a bit inappropriate.

And if Rem is coming, Esther and Betty will definitely come with him, so the scene will be even more inappropriate in someone else's bathroom.

At this time, there was no one in the bathroom, so I didn't bother to be polite. I took off all my clothes, entered the bathtub, sat in it and enjoyed myself.

The bathroom in Crusch's house is more grand and luxurious than that in Roswaal's house, but Shichen is not interested in these.

After soaking for a while, I felt it was about time and prepared to leave.

There were footsteps outside.

Snap~ Snap, it's obvious that he is barefoot.

Chapter 519: The Heart Seems to Be Conquered

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, with no sign of stopping.

Shichen's clothes were left outside.

The other party must have seen it, but still walked in, which means that he either didn't care about his presence or came here for him.

There are only three or four people in this mansion, but at this point in time, Rem is the most likely candidate.

He actually came after all. Is he so proactive?

Shichen didn't even need to sense the breath to confirm that it was Rem. However, when he turned around and looked over, he was stunned when he saw who was coming.
