"You can only blame your bad luck."
Upon hearing this, Alice Nakiri did not show any fear. Instead, she blinked and looked like she was watching a show.
Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little strange. What was wrong with this girl?
The two stared at each other again, and the atmosphere became incredibly awkward.
And it was at this moment that Alice spoke up in a teasing tone:
"Should I pretend to be scared now, and even scream or something?"
Lin Qi pursed his lips after hearing what the other person said, feeling it was boring and not fun.
"I said, 'Was my acting really that fake?' I thought my expressions and demeanor were quite convincing. *Moon*/Ripple - First Release"
Alice nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Hmm, I have to admit, this handsome guy pretending to be a robber, at first I was really startled by your expression and demeanor."
"However, your laughter immediately ruined this image, bad review."
"How could a kidnapper with such laughter really exist in real life? And you're emphasizing it a bit too deliberately."
"So there's only one truth: you were acting."
"To be honest, if you didn't laugh and just maintained that demeanor and expression while doing it, I would really be scared to death, no, no, because it's too realistic."
Alice offered her unvarnished critiques and pointed out his shortcomings. To put it bluntly, her laughter ruined his image; this wasn't a novel or anime, but reality.
Lin Qi felt helpless after hearing this. "It's not a novel or anime for you, but it is for me. I've gotten myself into playing it this way subconsciously."
"Ahem, since you've seen through me, I'm not going to pretend anymore."
"I never expected that my little mistake would make you treat me like I was watching a show, which was so boring."
When Alice heard Lynch's words and saw his seemingly defeated expression, her eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled.
"Haha, this handsome guy is really quite interesting."
"My name is Alice Nakiri."
"My name is Lin Qi."
Lin Qi watched as she extended her fair hand, and without hesitation, he shook her hand, offering his comments as he did so.
"Wow, I didn't expect your hands to be so soft, and your skin is even better than yours."
Alice didn't care about such vulgar words. After all, she found the person in front of her handsome and interesting, and the fact that he could even say the name Erina was enough to prove that the two of them were very close. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
She knew very well what a terrible personality her cousin had, and the fact that the other person could hold her hand and comment on the two of them was enough to prove that their relationship was very unusual, or even extremely unusual.
So Alice didn't care about these things. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Qi with a look of inquiry in her eyes.
Alice sensed the other person's subtle movements. Although she felt that the other person was being a bit forceful, it didn't matter at all compared to being a bystander.
"Lin Qijun, does my hand feel comfortable?"
Lin Qi answered without hesitation after hearing this.
"It's so comfortable and soft, I feel like I could hold it for a lifetime."
"I just don't know if you'd be willing."
Alice hadn't expected the other person to be so aggressive, saying such things right off the bat, which caught her off guard.
"Aralink, are you confessing your feelings to me?"
Lin Qi noticed a flicker of panic in the girl's eyes, but it quickly faded, and she returned to her joking manner. He couldn't help but sigh that his older and younger cousins were complete opposites.
"One is incredibly arrogant, and the other is the other type. They get along quite well with people they feel comfortable with."
"You can think of it that way, but I don't know if you'd be willing to accept it."
"Hehe, who confesses their feelings as soon as they meet? You're being too frivolous, and you'll get points deducted for that."
"My main principle is sincerity."
Lynch immediately transformed his frivolous behavior into sincerity.
After hearing this, Alice gained a better understanding of Lynch. This man was incredibly shameless, even beyond her wildest imagination.
Alice seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately spoke with a grin:
"Lin Qijun, since you say you're a person who values sincerity, could you tell me what kind of relationship you have with Erina?"
Alice asked the question that concerned her most, after all, she was quite curious, because Lin Qi's personality seemed to have nothing to do with her proud cousin.
What kind of magical plot unfolds when a frivolous and seemingly lecherous person meets his own twisted cousin?
Lin Qi could tell from the way the other person looked at their feet that this was what they cared about. Otherwise, why would they let him hold their hand for so long for no reason? Now the little fox's tail was finally showing.
Lin Qi had nothing to hide about this matter, and personally, he said he wasn't worried.
"My relationship with Erina is just like yours right now, it's the kind of relationship where you can touch her however you want."
Alice was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then pouted and said in a huff:
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I give you permission to touch me however you want?"
She then pulled her hand away, looking quite angry.
Lin Qi didn't pay any attention to the other person's behavior, but the other person seemed to remember something, and immediately his angry expression disappeared. He looked at Lin Qi with an incredulous gaze, and then looked him up and down from all sides.
Are you sure you and Erina are that close?
No matter how Alice looked at it, apart from her cool entrance and handsome face at the beginning, the rest of the other person seemed a bit out of place with her cousin.
It's not that the other person is bad, but she couldn't imagine that her cousin would like someone like Lin Qi. First of all, he should at least be a chef, but she had never heard of him in the culinary world.
So Alice asked in an incredulous tone.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chapter 130 Lin Qi, who disguised himself as a big bad wolf to lure a little white rabbit
Lin Qi looked at the other person's wide-eyed, incredulous expression, then smiled and spoke:
"Why would I lie to you? This kind of lie is easy to expose, and I'm here to find her."
After hearing this, Alice Nakiri thought about it and realized it was true. Otherwise, why would the other party come here for no reason?
Could it be that my cousin Erina fell in love with him because he has extraordinary powers?
"Could Lin Qijun tell me about your relationship with Huili?"
"You're not a chef, are you? After all, I've never heard of you in the culinary world."
"Could it be that Erina has fallen for you because of your special power?"
"And you still haven't told me what power you're using, or who you are."
Alice transformed into a curious child at this moment, asking all sorts of questions.
Lin Qi looked at the adorable little devil in front of him, thought for a moment, and then spoke with a sly expression.
"Although I'm not a chef, my cooking skills are better than anyone you've ever met."
"As for who I am, I'm just an ordinary high school student. I have no connection with any of those big powers. After all, they're too weak to be associated with me."
Alice's eyes widened upon hearing this. She hadn't expected the other person to be so arrogant. Wasn't that a bit too cocky? Wasn't he afraid of getting beaten up?
"Lin Qijun, is it really okay for you to talk like that? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"
"And you said your cooking is better than anyone I've ever met, I don't believe that."
Alice said she couldn't believe such a thing, after all, the other person was a nobody in the culinary world, how could they have such amazing cooking skills?
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi declared that he was no longer sleepy and immediately smiled as he spoke:
"How about we make a bet? If I can cook something that tastes better than anything you've ever eaten, you can be my girlfriend. If I can't, you can ask for anything you want."
"I'm not exaggerating, I can solve at least 99.9% of the problems in this world for you."
Upon hearing this, Alice instinctively asked:
"And what about the 0.1%?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately cowered, shrugged, and said with a helpless expression:
"Of course it's because I can't or don't want to do it."
"For example, what if you asked me to become a eunuch? What if you asked me to change my gender? What if you asked me not to have a harem? So I definitely have to refuse these requests."
Alice said she had never heard such sincere words before, and had to admit that the other person was really good at making people happy.
"Hahaha, Lin Qijun, I think you're really interesting. I don't understand how you and Erina met. I mean, don't you two have a bit of a personality clash?"
Alice asked the question directly.
"What's wrong with them? Have you ever heard of the concept of complementarity?"
Alice was stunned when she heard this. Could this really work?
"I told you, do you dare to bet with me, Miss Alice?"
Alice was surprised that this guy had brought up this topic again. She couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be a trap? After all, she wasn't some kind of idiot.
Alice and her husband were frantically trying to figure out if there was something wrong with the situation, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find anything wrong.
Seeing the other person deep in thought, Lin Qi knew he had to use reverse psychology.
"No way? Could it be that the incredibly arrogant second young lady is worried about losing to me? You know, I'm just an unknown nobody in the culinary world."
"As the second young lady of this family, you must have eaten a lot of good food since you were a child. Don't tell me you're afraid that all the delicacies you've eaten since you were a child can't compare to what I make, right?"
Alice suddenly felt that Lin Qi was really annoying. Although she knew that he was using reverse psychology, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
You should know that I can't stand being provoked, and besides, she doesn't believe the other person's cooking skills are that great.
Putting everything else aside, he had eaten his grandfather's cooking, who was a top chef, so he didn't think Lin Qi could beat him in that respect. Not to mention anything else.
"Hmph! Since you put it that way, I'll take your bet. You should know very well who I am."
"You know, I've eaten a lot of my grandfather's cooking, so I'm just giving you some advice: surrender. Stop thinking about all this nonsense. At your age, you can't possibly be stronger than my grandfather."
Alice then reverted to her spoiled self, crossing her arms and speaking with a sullen expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi felt that the girl was too young. However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with her having this idea, since he was, after all, an exception.
It's quite normal for the other party to have such thoughts since they don't know him well and have a powerful grandfather.
Lynch replied that it was great that he had this idea.
Erina was wondering when Lin Qi would arrive, but she didn't expect him to be sneaking into her house. She would be furious if she found out.
After all, I was excitedly waiting for the curse to be lifted, but this family was stealing from my own home and poaching my own cousin. Who could tolerate such a situation?

After seeing that the other party had agreed, Lin Qi immediately spoke with a grin:
"make a deal!"
"Let me ask you a question. It's past breakfast time now. Would you like to have breakfast or lunch?"
Alice was a little confused after hearing this. What did this mean?
"It's 9:00 now. If you want to have lunch, we'll start around 11:00. Two hours should be enough for me to prepare some dishes."
"Since I'm here to visit anyway, I might as well treat your grandfather to a meal."
"If you want to eat something right now, I'll make something that can be done quickly."
Alice hadn't expected this, but after thinking about it for a moment...
"Let's have lunch!"
Alice decided to have lunch.
Lin Qi didn't say anything after hearing this.
"Take me to the kitchen. As for the ingredients, I'll prepare them. You don't need to bother with that."
Alice, intrigued by these words, looked at Lin Qi with a fox-like gaze:
"Oh, Mr. Lin Qi, don't you know where the kitchen is?"
