The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 593 Cough cough cough, it's getting dark.

"It's okay, actually I feel pretty good. After all, it was my first time learning to take care of a child seriously. It was then that I realized there were so many things to pay attention to when raising a child."

Sigh...human beings are so fragile.

As he murmured softly, Melos reached out and gently stroked Lin Xiyue's hair, letting out a long sigh.

Speaking of this, Meros was truly filled with admiration.

"Oh, right! I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now: why did you send me back to the orphanage in the first place?"

How wonderful it would have been if I could have seen you the moment I opened my eyes back then!

Maybe that way I'll be able to recall those past events more quickly?

Just then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, Lin Xiyue abruptly raised her head to look at Molos, and asked with a face full of confusion.

Yes, if I don't return to the orphanage, then the first person I see when I wake up from my coma will be Meros.

Then things would definitely be completely different, at the very least, things would settle down much faster.

At least this way, perhaps I can regain my lost memories sooner.

Lin Xiyue thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

"No, that won't work. Otherwise, we might not actually run into each other."

Meros shook his head, denying Lin Xiyue's idea.

"I see, it's a time paradox, right?"

Upon hearing Moros's words, Lin Xiyue exclaimed as if she had just realized something, and then asked impatiently.

"Yes."

Meros nodded and said.

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, a hint of surprise appeared on Lin Xiyue's rosy face.

"So, if I follow this line of reasoning..."

If we want to avoid the time paradox and ensure our future encounter goes smoothly...

Doesn't that mean we have to keep a certain distance from each other from the very beginning?

And all this time, while I was back, you were silently observing me and protecting me?

After calming down a bit, Lin Xiyue continued to ask questions.

After saying this, her large, bright, and intelligent eyes stared intently at Meros, as if trying to see, through his deep, ocean-like eyes, the figure she hadn't noticed, silently protecting her.

"Yes. So, we can only meet at a specific time. When that time comes, both the system and I will sense it."

Meros nodded, then slowly spoke to Lin Xiyue.

[Yeah, yeah! We all have this strange feeling!]

The feeling was very mysterious, as if everything had been predetermined.

As soon as you see the time, you'll immediately understand—yes, it's now!

This amazing feeling is something I've never experienced before! (p≧w≦q)

Just then, the system excitedly chimed in.

Its tone was full of excitement, and it seemed that it was also quite curious about this special sensation.

Upon hearing what the system said, Lin Xiyue's heart stirred.

"I see! So that means that's why you chose to appear before me as a cat in the first place?"

She suddenly remembered what had happened before and asked Meros as if she had just realized something.

Meros nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

"Well, actually, I didn't know how to meet you back then... but deep down I longed to see you as soon as possible... so I thought about it and decided to transform into a cat to come to your side..."

Then, he lowered his voice and whispered softly in Lin Xiyue's ear.

Lin Xiyue blushed at Mo Luosi's words, and then a happy smile spread across her face.

"But how strange~ Why did you think of turning into a cat to get close to me? Isn't there a better way?"

Her eyes darted around, and she blinked before continuing to press for an answer.

"Because, because you said you liked cats..."

When Moros heard Lin Xiyue ask this, he spoke very softly and apologetically.

"Pfft-"

Lin Xiyue was listening intently to Molos's speech, but when she heard this sentence, she could no longer suppress her laughter and suddenly burst out laughing.

Her gaze fell on the tips of Meros' ears, which were slightly flushed, and an indescribable feeling of joy welled up in her heart. She felt that Meros was simply adorable.

"mua~~"

Without thinking, Lin Xiyue lunged forward and swiftly and gently placed a kiss on Molos's lips.

However, at that moment, although Meros was somewhat caught off guard, he reacted quickly and responded to the kiss without hesitation, deepening it further.

"Ugh! ————Σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

Lin Xiyue had not expected things to develop this way. At first, she just wanted to vent her emotions after being touched.

But who could have predicted that Meros would take such a strong lead in the situation?

At this moment, she was in a dazed and confused state, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

"Close your eyes."

Melos's deep voice gently sounded in Lin Xiyue's ear.

Despite still being in a state of shock and confusion, Lin Xiyue instinctively and obediently closed her eyes, her slightly trembling eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. She quietly enjoyed Moros's passionate kisses, her body gradually becoming weak and powerless.

This brief instruction wasn't just addressed to Lin Xiyue; it was also meant for the system hidden within her mind.

[Huh?! Ah! -- I'll close my eyes, I'll close my eyes right away!]

Upon hearing this, the system seemed startled, immediately emitting a rapid sound and quickly blocking out its senses.

The system then quickly completed a series of operations.

First, it completely shuts off its external senses.

Secondly, the system also specially set a 24-hour alarm to ensure that it would not go out too early during this period and disturb Moros and Lin Xiyue.

After doing all this, the system quietly watched the TV series it had downloaded earlier in its own space, preparing to leave after 24 hours.

Perfect timing, this is a good time for him to slack off.

At this moment, Moros was looking down at Lin Xiyue in his arms. Her eyes were hazy and her gaze was unfocused. Her originally fair and snow-white cheeks were now flushed with a faint blush, making her look as tempting as a ripe apple.

Her shy, adorable, and defenseless demeanor, which allowed her to be manipulated at will, made Meros's heart itch unbearably.
