Swallowing

“Hmm, the raw material for Snow Doll is carefully selected Phillips purebred snow mountain cow colostrum.

To ensure the freshness of taste, the first batch of fresh milk must go through thirty-eight high-temperature sterilization processes within ten minutes of coming into contact with air.

Then, it is meticulously prepared by a culinary master with thirty-eight years of experience, guaranteeing safety while also promising no additives whatsoever.

Aside from fresh milk, only butter, sugar, and whey cheese are used as ingredients.

Exquisite craftsmanship brings a rich texture and an ultimate taste that is sweet and delicate in the mouth.

Now, this delicious treat has traveled thousands of miles to be here, waiting for the one destined to savor it.”

“Oh, is Snow Doll a type of creamy ice cream?”

Behind the door, Victoria trembled slightly. She was a girl, and in fact, in many ways, she loved desserts—especially something like ice cream.

If it weren’t for the high calories, Victoria might have one cup after every meal.

Collins flipped to the page about the Black Forest cake.

“From the pastry masters of Coencork, inheriting craftsmanship from one hundred and fifty years ago, the process involves no flour at all—only hazelnut flour and almond flour.

Compared to cakes made with regular flour, those crafted with hazelnut and almond flour are less prone to air bubbles, resulting in a denser, more delicate texture with a strong nutty aroma.

Adding Coencork’s handmade cherry juice cream and cherry liquor—completely free of additives—as flavorings, and layering fresh fruit slices between tiers during the process, allows you to experience a rich chocolate taste at first bite while also savoring the exotic flavor reminiscent of farmers’ joyous laughter during cherry harvests beneath the Black Forest.”

Ahhh! There’s even chocolate cake—and it sounds so delicious!

Victoria swallowed hard and moaned silently in her heart, placing her hand on her lower abdomen and gently rubbing it.

She was genuinely a little hungry, and now Collins’s words made her saliva uncontrollably gush out.

The devil of temptation in her mind had stepped forward, gently patting her head and pointing at the small doorknob, turning it slowly, urging Victoria to go out immediately and soothe her stomach with sweet delicacies.

Halfway through, Victoria quickly grabbed her own hand.

She reminded herself: If… if she went out now, wouldn’t that mean she had lost?

It’s just… just some tasty food, that’s all.

She had to endure. She must endure.

Victoria closed her eyes, refusing to think about the temptation of ice cream and Black Forest cake.

But at that very moment, as if a devil’s whisper, Collins’s voice came again.

“Hmm, there’s also the Sweet Veggie Mini Cup, made with twelve types of fresh vegetables and fruits.

Aside from large chunks of fruits and vegetables, it only uses frozen milk pudding.

It not only preserves the freshness and original flavor of the fruits and vegetables 100%, but also lets fresh cream seep into the deepest part of your soul, making you feel the most primal, most untamed beauty.”

Click.

Victoria pushed the door open.

Collins put away the phone in his hand and smiled at Victoria.

“So, Senior, does this mean you want to have a meal with me now?”

“I… I… I don’t…”

Victoria hesitated.

Collins took a deep breath and said, “If you think I’m going to do something to you, you can rest assured. Based on your misunderstanding of me, I should be a perverted creep, but in reality—you’re a woman, aren’t you?”

Victoria suddenly looked up, her surprised eyes fixed on Collins.

Collins spread his hands.

“Besides, I think we should be honest with each other. For example, I would absolutely never do anything to you, even though you are indeed very attractive.”

Victoria closed her mouth, but the doubt in her eyes still lingered.

Collins shook his head.

“Senior, I’m an intermediate magician, and also a dual-element top student. My family background isn’t bad either. Once I graduate, entering an advanced magic laboratory is practically guaranteed.

For someone with such a bright future, why would I ruin the rest of my life over a woman?”

“To put it bluntly, there are plenty of girls in this school who name their price openly.

I could easily spend a little money to deal with my physiological needs.

Given that, why would I do something terrible to you?”

This reasoning seemed to persuade Victoria a little.

Her defensive posture loosened slightly, and her expression was no longer as tense as facing a deadly enemy.

“It seems Senior also understands the relationship between us now.

Since that’s the case, let’s strike while the iron is hot—while we eat, we can also talk about some things, like how to deal with possible friction in the future.”

“Friction… issues?”

Collins nodded, looking into Victoria’s eyes.

“I originally thought that by refusing to let you into my world, many things could be left unaddressed.

But now I realize that if we don’t clarify things now, there might be a lot of friction between us later.”
