Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

The operation will officially begin tomorrow. As soon as Lin Shiye got out of school, he ran home and rummaged through the pile of junk to find his old camera that hadn't been used in eight hundred years.

Back then, Lin Shiye also wanted to become a man like Brother Xiaoming, but he quickly gave up because his photography skills were really indescribable.

"Ah, it really is broken?" Lin Shiye patted the camera hard, but it still didn't respond. Helpless, he could only snap his fingers and start rewinding time.

Golden ripples spread silently, sweeping across the dusty, old fuselage.

"That's perfect." He whistled with satisfaction as he looked at the brand-new camera.

"My dear grandson!"

The old man's strong voice came from downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shiye replied.

"Your Grandma Wang and I are going for a walk. You'll have to figure out dinner for yourself!" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the door slam shut.

He went out of the room and looked downstairs, and sure enough, his old man was nowhere to be seen.

"Has she evolved from the old lady next door to Grandma Wang?" Lin Shiye couldn't help but sigh.

"What a terrible woman."

The empty house was filled only with the ticking of the clock. Lin Shiye felt inexplicably lonely and cold. In this situation, he couldn't help but think that if he had a younger sister, would the house be more lively?

Come on, Grandpa, let Grandma Wang give me a little aunt!

"Let's go to the supermarket and buy a bento box." Lin Shiye locked the shop door and rode his electric scooter to the nearby supermarket.

Unexpectedly, I discovered a pleasant surprise as soon as I stepped inside.

"Hey, Caiye!" Lin Shiye spotted the baby products section at a glance, where a familiar figure was huddled behind the shelves, furtively picking through baby formula.

Upon hearing the voice, Aya Sakura's shoulders stiffened abruptly. She kept her head down, pretending not to hear, and took stiff, small steps forward, her back seemingly bearing the words "You've mistaken me for someone else."

"Caiye, I'll be really sad if you ignore me like this." Lin Shiye caught up with her in a few steps and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

Jiu Jicai sighed deeply and turned away resignedly.

The next second, it was Lin Shiye's turn to freeze.

A tiny, exquisitely beautiful baby was slung across her chest in a baby carrier. The little one was staring at her with wide, round eyes, its tiny hand clutching a strand of Caiye's hair.

"This...this, could it be..." Lin Shiye staggered back half a step, his hands trembling. His incredulous eyes were fixed on Caiye, as if he had said everything, yet also as if he had said nothing at all.

Sakeki Aya felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She had planned everything perfectly, choosing the furthest supermarket and the quietest time of day, but she still ended up running into the most unreliable guy.

"As you can see, I'm taking care of the child," she said, forcing herself to speak.

Lin Shiye's pupils contracted sharply. He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with unprecedented determination and heartache.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Aya."

No, what do you know?

Caiye had a bad feeling in her heart!

"I won't run away, I will try my best to be a qualified father!" Lin Shiye—serious and earnest face!

"Get out of here!" Aya Sakura kicked Shiya Hayashi hard.

Lin Shiye dodged it with a twist of his waist.

The baby in the carrier giggled as it watched this scene.

Passersby who were browsing the goods around them all cast curious glances at her, and Aya Sakura's face instantly turned as red as if it could bleed, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore," Lin Shiye said, returning to normal.

"So, where did this child come from? You can't really..."

"Stop having such an impolite idea." Caiye hesitated for a long time before squeezing out two words through gritted teeth.

"I found it."

"Sister Cai is so kind-hearted." Lin Shiye nodded, then asked, feigning confusion.

"Then why not just hand it over to the police?"

Sakeyori Ayaka's expression instantly became extremely subtle.

How can we hand this over to the police? This kid practically jumped out of a telephone pole. It's such an absurd thing, no one would believe it if we told them.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Shiye didn't press her for details, but secretly smiled to himself. Of course, he knew how this child came to be; he had just wanted to see her constipated expression.

The two arrived at the cashier, and Lin Shiye took out his phone first.

"I'll pay. You're already struggling financially on your own."

"No need!" Aya Sakura firmly refused. Although she did feel the pinch, it wasn't entirely unaffordable. Besides, she didn't want to owe this guy a favor.

"Don't push yourself, Caiye!" Lin Shiye said with heartache.

"I can raise the child healthily even without you!" Caiye refused to back down.

"Wow~" The surrounding crowd went wild watching the drama unfold, and the cashier scanned the two people's faces back and forth.

"Youth is all about impulsiveness..."

"Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? At least these two young men are willing to take responsibility for their actions."

"Yeah, it's a miracle this kid wasn't thrown into the toilet—"

"..."

The murmurs grew louder and louder, and Aya felt like she was about to explode. Her face flushed, she quickly scanned the code to pay, grabbed her shopping bag, and pushed Lin Shiye by the back as they rushed out of the supermarket.

"Just pretend you didn't see anything today!" After running to a deserted street corner, Aya Sakura stopped and stood with her hands on her hips, panting heavily.

"I'm going home," she said, turning to leave.

But Lin Shiye quickly called her back.

Have you eaten?

"No...what?" Aya looked over warily.

"My house is quite close by, why don't you come over for dinner?" Lin Shiye said, pointing to the bags in her hands.

"I feel like you're so busy you barely have time to breathe, do you even have time to cook?"

"What would we eat at your place?" Aya Sakura looked him up and down suspiciously.

"Didn't you come to buy a bento box?"

"Who do you think you are? My cooking skills are pretty good!" Lin Shiye said seriously.

"I'm just lazy. If you come, I'll make it especially for you."

Sakura Aya's body stiffened almost imperceptibly. She looked down at the blinking baby in her arms, then at Lin Shiye's sincere expression, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"No need." She finally shook her head, her tone much gentler than before.

"I'm fine."

She paused, then added softly:

"Thanks."

After saying that, she picked up her child, grabbed her shopping bags, and quickly disappeared into the alleyway.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Lin Shiye shook his head helplessly.

"You're still too strong, Sister Cai."

"But Huiyao should be all grown up by tomorrow, and he'll soon be able to live a good life."
