I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"But wasn't Ye Ming hugging you and caressing you vigorously just now?"

"That, that's because..."

Paduo didn't know why she was so willing to be stroked by Ye Ming, as if she couldn't help but want to get close to him as soon as she saw him.

"Because... he is the same kind as Ye Ming?"

"You and I are the same kind of people."

Ye Ming couldn't hold it anymore:

"Let's take a step back and say that even if the cat suit is suitable for me, it's still me who hasn't fully developed yet."

"And now I'm a grown man! A strong man! Not that shrunken boy anymore!"

Cut! Cut hard!

"Woo..."

Ye Ming originally said this to Paduo, asking her to stop mentioning this matter in the future.

But for some reason, it was Yulandel who was injured.

She looked at Ye Ming with regret, as if the person in front of her was Eden who no longer sang, or Fu Hua who no longer practiced martial arts.

"Silly goose, you still like cats so much..."

Ye Ming petted the cat just for fun, and petting the fox was equally fun, but Youlan Daier was different...

She is a true cat lover.

"Why not get one?"

“Before, it was because there was no suitable opportunity.”

When asked about this, Yulandel's expression became a little lonely.

"No chance? Doesn't my family allow me to keep a pet? This shouldn't be the case..."

I think Siegfried and Cecilia would have no objection to having pets, right?

"Master Ye Ming, do you remember what I told you before?"

Rita, who happened to come over to deliver snacks and tea, explained on behalf of the taciturn Yulandel:

"Ever since Lady Yulandel had that strange dream, she has sealed away her desires."

"Lord Yulandel has been so obsessed with improving herself that she has not only stopped all recreational activities but has even given up almost all of her hobbies."

"Rita..."

Yulandel said in a troubled tone:

"If you suddenly tell Ye Ming all this, it will only confuse him."

"And since I fell in love with... ahem, since I started working with Ye Ming, my mentality has improved a lot, and I no longer dwell on trivial matters."

Neither the master nor the servant noticed Ye Ming's expression when they talked about this topic.

"what about now?"

From a purely passerby's perspective, Padu asked curiously:

"Is it possible to keep pets here?"

"Nowadays, ordinary pet cats are a little difficult to satisfy."

Yulandel looked at Ye Ming, then at Pado, as if she had opened the door to a new world.

"Alas... it's all retribution."

After hearing the whole story, Ye Ming was neither angry nor complaining. He just sighed helplessly.

After all, I am also responsible for the fact that Yulandel had such a strange nightmare.

If she had not been affected by that nightmare, she might have had a pet cat of her own long ago, and her hobbies would not have extended in strange directions.

"Mei~~"

On the other side, Alicia, who was sitting at the dining table, was looking at Mei with joy.

"Aliceia, what's wrong?"

"This is the first time I've eaten your cooking, it tastes so good~~"

"As long as you like it."

Hearing Alicia's praise, Mei smiled with great satisfaction, as if she was making up for the regret of her old friend.

"Oh~~ I really envy Ye Ming and Kiana. I wish I could always eat the food cooked by Mei."

"I hope you can come visit more often in the future."

"Haha, I feel like you've changed a lot, Mei."

Seeing Mei so mature, Alicia felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Even though the last time we met, you were still a shy and reserved child."

"Last time... Oh, do you mean the time you came to the studio to find Ye Ming?"

Mei recalled:

"I didn't talk to you much at that time, so I don't have any impression of it."

"So, what happened during this period that made you seem like a different person?"

"It's nothing."

Mei smiled bitterly and said:

"I just kind of understand how I feel in the game."

"Then can you grow two horns like in the game?"

"This... shouldn't be possible."

Mei has never really thought about this problem, but not having horns has its advantages.

When hugging Ye Ming, at least I won’t bump into him.

"Oh, what a pity! I still want to savor the touch of those horns."

Alicia stretched out her little hand and touched Mei's forehead, but felt a little disappointed because she touched nothing.

"You're still the same, always reacting to these weird... huh?"

As she was talking, Mei felt something was wrong.

"Wait...what do you mean by aftertaste?"

She looked at Alicia in astonishment and asked:

"Do you have memories from before?"

"Haha~~ I knew it, Mei, you've changed so much, it must be because you remembered the past."

Seeing Alicia covering her mouth and laughing secretly, Mei couldn't help but complain:

"I'm still thinking about the words and how to explain it to you. Why don't you just make it clear from the beginning?"

"I am also confirming your memory."

Alicia said happily:

"I didn't expect that you could remember my affairs besides Ye Ming's. It's a pleasant surprise."

"But to be honest, I can't remember some of the details of our time together."

Just like Ji Zi and the others, the clearest memories Mei can recall are the little details between herself and Ye Ming.

For others, the details of the recollection are more or less hazy.

"So...Alixia, did you have no interactions with Ye Ming before?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because Ye Ming doesn't remember you at all."

199. The duck is almost cooked

"Ye Ming doesn't remember you at all."

"..."

After hearing Mei's description, Alicia remained calm and just fell into a brief silence.

After a moment, her smiling face became as bright as a flower again:

"That's true. Ye Ming and I have almost no connection. It's normal that he doesn't remember me."

——How could you say that?

As soon as Alicia finished her words, a scolding voice appeared in her mind.

"Haha, white lies are the lubricant that girls use to deepen relationships."

Mei didn't know who Alicia was talking to with her consciousness at this moment.

After learning that Ye Ming and Alicia had no intersection, she was relieved.

"That's good. If even you fell, I really don't know what to do."

"What is this nonsense?"

Alicia corrected:

"Girls must hold on to the person they like. No matter who the opponent is, they must not back down, even if it's me."

"If I say that I like Ye Ming too, will you give up, Meiyi?"

Mei didn't fall for Alicia's provocation, but couldn't help laughing:

"Of course you will like Ye Ming. I remember... you love everyone in the world, don't you?"

"Hehe, guess what? Will there be a situation where I can focus all my love for this world on Ye Ming alone?"

“Is this… a puzzle for me?”

Mei was a little surprised. She didn't expect Alicia to raise such a possibility.

More importantly, I have absolutely no idea what the answer to this question is.

How can she, who is loved by the whole world and loves the whole world, focus her attention on one person?

"Just tell me, Alicia, what's the answer?"

"Hey, it won't be interesting if I say it out loud."

Alicia smiled happily. The answer buried in her heart was like a river of honey and milk flowing in a fairy tale world.

Nourishing the buds in Alicia's heart in the sweetest way.

"Speaking of which, besides the peripherals that were launched previously, are there any new products recently?"

After obtaining the distribution rights, Pado began to consider the issue of adding new products.

"Ying, come here for a moment."

Not only was Pado curious, Ye Ming also wanted to see the results of Ying's work during this period.

“Any new works?”

"In addition to the regular figures and weapon models, I also made something interesting."

"Is it the big package you carried when we moved earlier?"

"Ah."

Ying took out the package from the room very proudly, and then said to Padu:

"This is a 1:1 scale life-size doll. The detail and accuracy of the doll, as if it were a real person, is my masterpiece."

"Which character? You? Shin? Or Mei?"
