The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 211 New Guests

"Eat your food now! If you don't eat now, you won't have to eat at all! [○?｀Д′? ○]"

Lin Xiyue, enraged and embarrassed, threatened them.

"I'm full, Earl, you're in charge of washing the dishes!"

Then, she bluntly uttered those words and turned to walk towards the workbench, ignoring them completely. Meros was left behind as well, forced to sit at the dining table with Earl and the others.

"Tsk, tidy up properly. There are still documents to deal with afterwards, don't forget."

Melos was also unhappy that his perks had been interrupted. After saying a few words, he moved closer to Lin Xiyue again.

"??!!!"

"No, it's not?!"

"I only said one sentence?! Why am I always the one who gets hurt?! Don't single people deserve to live in this world?! Huh?!"

Earl was completely dumbfounded. He had just casually said one sentence to An Qing, just one sentence!

As a result, the first person they asked to wash the dishes was him. Well, that's okay, he could cheat, and they have a dishwasher at home.

The second Meros went too far; he actually told me to process documents! That's way too much of a brain drain!

While Earl was lost in thought, An Qing had already packed everything up, and she even washed Bai Tong's cat bowl.

"Uncle Earl, I'm all packed. You can go to work now."

When she returned and saw Earl still lost in thought, she couldn't help but nudge him.

"Huh? Oh, okay, sure."

Earl seemed to snap out of his daze after being poked by An Qing. He nodded silently and said okay, but his body floated out like a ghost and went to his room.

Upon arriving at the room, Earl discovered that three nests were already floating inside, waiting for him.

Each of them was carrying a stack of documents about as tall as a person. Although they had no eyes, Earl could clearly sense their anticipation.

“Gurgle, gurgle—”

"Guji——"

"grumble--"

Each of the three nests emitted a sound, which Earl recognized as urging him on.

"Okay, okay, put it on the table. Is that all?"

Earl knew it couldn't be that little, but he still asked the nest with a sliver of hope.

"Guji——"

The largest of the nests let out a cry and waved its two thickest tentacles.

The meaning is quite clear: it means there's definitely more than just this little bit, so don't overthink it.

"Snapped--"

Earl slapped his head hard, then sat down at the table with a helpless expression, resignedly starting to work for Meros and do what he was supposed to do o(╥﹏╥)o.

..............................

On the other side, Lin Xiyue used her anger as an excuse to temporarily leave Moros and sit down at the workbench.

Since returning, Meros has been unusually clingy.

Back when he was in that cult, he'd rather waste energy just to sleep with himself in his arms at night. Even though he didn't do anything, it still made him incredibly embarrassed.

After all, in the morning, it's very easy to... you know.

cough cough cough.

?(? ???w??? ?)?

Lin Xiyue coughed a few times, her face turning red, and shook her head to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts.

Meow~

As the sweet, melting meow rang out, Lin Xiyue subconsciously looked up and saw that the fluffy little creature not far away was none other than Moros!

At this moment, Meros completely abandoned his aloof image as a human and shamelessly transformed himself into a small and exquisite cat.

Not only that, he also used a sweet, coquettish voice, like that of a kitten that had just been weaned, to fawn over Lin Xiyue.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue's fingers trembled slightly.

Oh my god, she felt her patience was about to reach its limit!

Meow~

However, Meros seemed oblivious to the turmoil in Lin Xiyue's heart, and instead let out a soft "meow~".

And this time, he even mischievously tilted his head, his big, round eyes staring intently at Lin Xiyue, as if he were deliberately trying to seduce her.

"Ah!! It's just so incredibly cute! I can't resist!"

Finally, Lin Xiyue could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart and shouted loudly.

Before she finished speaking, she reached out and hugged Meros tightly without hesitation.

Then, just like a child who had received their favorite toy, she excitedly buried her face in the cat's soft fur and took a deep breath of its intoxicating warmth.

"Meow!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Melos's emerald green cat eyes. He called out again in a coquettish voice, which made Lin Xiyue hug him even tighter.

"Jingle Bell--"

Just as the two were getting along well, the doorbell of the wishing shop rang.

Lin Xiyue hurriedly and gently placed the cat in her arms on the ground, then quickly straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt and greeted the new customer who had just stepped into the store with a smile.

The new guest was as eye-catching as a shining star, wearing a gorgeous dress whose hem swayed gently with her light steps.

Her long, flowing hair shimmered with a captivating luster, and her exquisite makeup further enhanced her already charming and lovely face, making her even more beautiful and captivating.

Judging from her appearance, the girl was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she exuded a melancholy aura that was inconsistent with her age.

At first, when Lin Xiyue saw this customer, she secretly guessed that she might be a customer who came to buy cute jewelry or dolls.

However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as the little girl entered the room, she walked straight towards Lin Xiyue without hesitation and with firm steps.

The other party spoke so quickly that Lin Xiyue didn't even have time to greet them before they spoke first and stated the purpose of their visit directly.

"I saw on your sign that it says 'Wishing Shop,' is that real? Can it really grant people's wishes?"

The little girl spoke directly, her words carrying a hint of expectation.

“(⊙o⊙)…Young lady, shall we sit down and talk first?”

Lin Xiyue glanced at her and gestured for her to follow her over here.

Then, Lin Xiyue led her to a specially designed semi-enclosed seat and asked Molos to close the door first.

Moros reluctantly went to close the door, but out of the guest's sight, it pulled out a nest, instructed it to close the door, and then jumped back onto Lin Xiyue's lap, looking like it wouldn't leave no matter what.
