The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 208 Don't worry, a lifetime will pass quickly.

"Stop touching me, you're going to rub me bald."

Meros interrupted the heartwarming scene by speaking up, which also brought Earl back into an awkward position.

"Ah, cough cough cough. I, I didn't mean to."

Earl awkwardly placed Bai Tong on the sofa next to him and scratched his head.

"Um, I didn't do anything yesterday, did I?"

Earl asked Meros somewhat cautiously.

"nothing."

Meros said it casually.

"That's good, that's good. (*^▽^*)"

Earl visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Meros say that.

Phew—it seems I haven't done anything shameful yet.

Earl breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he could finally relax.

"Woof woof ...

"Ouch——U＾ェ＾U"

"Woof woof~▼o?ェ?o▼"

As a result, just as he was about to exhale completely, a series of crisp and continuous barks suddenly entered his ears.

The sound was exceptionally loud, seemingly able to penetrate walls. Anyone who heard it could easily tell that the dog was in a state of extreme excitement and joy. The cheerful barking was like a melodious tune, full of vitality and happiness, making anyone who heard it unable to help but smile.

However, such cheerful sounds did not bring Earl any sense of relief.

On the contrary, when the barking reached his ears, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. A nameless fear welled up from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread throughout his body, rendering him unable to move.

He turned his head with difficulty, his gaze slowly shifting to the huge projection screen in the store used for watching TV or tutorials.

A high-definition video was playing clearly on the screen, showing the interior of the wishing shop.

The camera focuses on a large, adorable Saint Bernard, who is running and frolicking happily throughout the store.

This Saint Bernard, though large in stature, moves with remarkable agility and lightness, like a playful child.

Its fluffy body swayed incessantly, its tail whipping wildly through the air like a joyful whip. Each leap was accompanied by a cheerful cry, as if it were fully enjoying the boundless pleasure of running freely in this moment.

Behind the Saint Bernard was An Qing, who looked anxious.

She chased after the mischievous dog, trying to stop it from running, while carefully protecting the furniture and delicate ornaments that might be knocked over.

Despite An Qing's best efforts, she felt somewhat overwhelmed by the energetic dog.

Meanwhile, Meros, standing not far away, had a completely different demeanor.

He crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, watching the farce unfold with great interest, a look of schadenfreude on his face.

"Aa ...

"Stop right now!!!"

"No, stop! Ahhh—"

Earl stood frozen in place for a long while, as if time had stood still.

Suddenly, as if he had come to his senses, he burst into a frantic shout.

"No! This isn't true!"

His voice was filled with undisguised terror and despair, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant. Every word he spoke revealed a profound sense of collapse and helplessness.

At the same time, Earl desperately lunged at the projection screen, waving his hands wildly, trying to cover it up and prevent others from seeing this embarrassing and funny video from his past.

However, due to his overly violent and haphazard movements, the image originally projected on the screen miraculously transferred onto himself.

At that moment, Earl was completely absorbed by the hilarious scene, and his every move and expression perfectly mirrored the dog frolicking on the screen.

He was already in an awkward situation, but now he looked even more ridiculous, making people burst into laughter.

"Pfft—hahahahahahahaha—"

"Yesterday, you actually did something like that! Hahaha, too bad I went to bed early yesterday! Hahaha—o(≧▽≦)o"

Lin Xiyue was taken aback when she saw the video on the screen. Then she saw Earl's reaction and burst out laughing, laughing so hard she could barely stand up straight.

She can only lament that she went to bed early yesterday, which was a huge mistake, as she missed witnessing this scene.

Then, Lin Xiyue looked at Molos and gave him a "good job" look.

"Brother! Brother! I'm calling you brother! Please don't let me go, spare me!"

Earl gave up struggling, slumped down in front of the curtain, and begged Meros to stop him from releasing her.

"Then tell me, what are you planning to offer as a bargaining chip?"

Meros sat on the cushion with great interest, mimicking a cat tucking its paws inside its mouth.

His cat imitation is so accurate! It's so cute! (*?▽?*)

Lin Xiyue watched from the side and couldn't help but give Molos a thumbs up in her heart, her eyes sparkling.

"I'll help you with the files! You can turn off the video now!"

Earl heard his dog barking in the video, and after a great deal of effort, he said those words.

This is truly rare, because he absolutely hates dealing with documents. He'd rather fight or invade other planets than handle documents! o(╥﹏╥)o

"anything else."

Meros looked cute, but his words chilled Earl to the bone.

"And...there's more?! How can your 36-degree mouth utter such cold words?"

Earl looked utterly devastated.

"uh-huh."

Seeing that Earl seemed unwilling to move and no longer wanted to be exploited, Meros casually pressed the play button.

Soon, the dog's cheerful barking filled the room again.

"Okay, okay! I surrender! ┗( ′?∧?｀)┛"

Hearing the sound from the video play again, Earl had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"Then tell me, what do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say! Just tell me..."

He gave up struggling and decided to surrender himself to Meros.

"Promise me you'll do three things, and then you'll handle the documents too."

Meros spoke directly.

"Okay, but give me a time!"

Earl took a deep breath and decided to agree.

"Five years. Once you've done that, I won't release this video of yours."

Meros said with a smile.

"Don't worry, a lifetime goes by very quickly."

After he finished speaking, Meros mischievously added this sentence.

"Oh(╥﹏╥)o"

Earl knelt on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

"It's okay, I won't tell anyone."

Lin Xiyue couldn't stand it any longer. She smiled, said something, and then headed to the kitchen.

She promised Melos she would make him a dessert yesterday.
