But halfway through the action, Garfield's big head was hit by Ye Ziye. In the past, he could come back and clean up, but today, he didn't want to clean up the messy house.

There's also a way to prevent Garfield, whose face is flat, from wasting food: feed him spoonful by spoonful.

Taking out Garfield's special spoon, Ye Ziye felt that his question was a bit silly. If Garfield could go out and buy cat food by himself, then he could let Garfield go to work at a cat cafe to earn money.

He believed that with Garfield's adorable big face, he would definitely win the hearts of many people.

Garfield, unaware of his owner's wicked intentions, was contentedly enjoying being fed, preparing to take a nap later.

After feeding Garfield breakfast, Ye Ziye prepared to go out to buy him cat food.

He was very reluctant, because today was a rare day off, but it didn't seem like he could skip it, since there was no cat food left at home.

Judging by Garfield's appetite, he probably won't last very long.

Ye Ziye found herself a similar set of clothes and put them on, then prepared to leave.

He never buys cat food from specialty stores because it's much more expensive. Supermarkets sometimes offer discounts, and the quality is generally reliable.

Sitting on the tram, Ye Ziye looked out the window listlessly. The weather was nice today, and it would be even better if she could stay at home all the time.

"Look, there's a handsome guy over there!"

Hearing the sounds of discussion around him, Ye Ziye glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two rather pretty girls pointing and commenting on his appearance.

The flash of the mobile phone camera went off, and Ye Ziye didn't expose anyone. She just sat down in the mall and got off the bus.

If he had just warned the two girls not to take pictures, it might have caused some trouble. Besides, it was just two photos, nothing serious.

After tidying up her clothes, Ye Ziye walked into the supermarket.

The supermarket seemed to be holding some kind of event, but it required couples to participate. There were quite a few children watching their parents with longing eyes, hoping that the person they admired most in the world would win them a plush toy.

However, the first prize was a doll, which might be a distant dream for that child, since there were more than forty couples participating in the competition alone.

Ye Ziye had never seen such a stunning scene before; even under the beautiful cherry blossom trees, there were never so many couples.

As expected, humans are creatures that won't act without a reason. When they see something free, they automatically pretend to be a couple and go on stage, regardless of whether they are actually a couple.

The second prize is a remote-controlled car toy, and the third prize is 5,000 Japanese yen.

Ye Ziye was somewhat tempted by the third prize, after all, it was money that could be obtained without any effort, and his game level was lv3, so he had a high probability of winning in any game.

Watching the people on stage waving their fists and doing all sorts of bizarre warm-up exercises, Ye Ziye shook his head and prepared to leave.

A couple's game, destined to be unfulfilled with Ye Ziye.

He just didn't understand why a rock-paper-scissors game required two people to participate, and why there was a warm-up for rock-paper-scissors.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Ziye still couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and headed towards the cat food store.

The boy seemed to have a great sense of direction. Ye Ziye had only been to this huge shopping mall once before, but it felt like she had been there many times before, as she was extremely familiar with the route.

Upon entering the cat food store, Ye Ziye chose the cat food that Garfield usually eats, thanks to the enthusiastic gaze and explanation from the cashier.

The cashier wanted to recommend a more cost-effective cat food to him, but Ye Ziye refused, as Garfield is very picky about food.

However, he readily accepted the cashier's offer to give him a discount; why not take advantage of a free discount?

Chapter 47

After buying the cat food, it was already eleven o'clock. Ye Ziye thought for a moment. He had finally come out, and the weather was nice today, so he decided to stay in the mall a little longer and have lunch there.

The second floor of the mall is the shopping area, and the third floor is where you can buy food, with all kinds of snacks and home-style dishes. In addition, there are various entertainment facilities such as gashapon machines and claw machines.

Ye Ziye bought herself a takoyaki and sat on a bench, watching people come and go, waiting for noon to arrive so she could have lunch.

I took a bite of the takoyaki, and it tasted pretty good. It's an old shop that's been open for many years, and the chef has excellent skills. The food they make is at a level 2 top-tier level.

"Hello, may we sit here?"

Two pretty girls, seeing Ye Ziye sitting alone, blushed and came over to talk to him.

They had been observing for quite some time and were certain that Ye Ziye didn't have a girlfriend before they mustered up the courage to come over.

Ye Ziye looked at the bench he was sitting on. It wasn't short, but it would definitely be crowded if three people sat there, and he hated being crowded the most.

Ye Ziye glanced at the empty table and chairs opposite him and began to speak.

There are empty seats there.

"Oh...sorry to bother you."

The two girls sensed the rejection and walked away whispering to each other; their conversation could be faintly heard.

"Ah! How indifferent! I finally mustered up the courage!"

Ye Ziye sighed. Sometimes misunderstandings between people arise like this. He wasn't being cold; he just didn't like crowds.

Before finishing his takoyaki, Ye Ziye turned down several more girls who tried to chat him up.

If these girls came alone, sitting here wouldn't be a problem, but since they always come in pairs, there aren't enough seats on the benches.

Even more outrageous, a group of four girls asked, "Can we sit here?"

It was 11:20 PM, and Ye Ziye was feeling a bit bored. Although he was often bored, he was happy as long as there was something to enjoy.

But there were no beautiful views in the mall, and he hadn't brought any books with him.

Just as he was about to wander around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Yukino Yukinoshita, the girl he had pretended to be his girlfriend with a few days ago, appeared on the third floor of the mall, staring at a claw machine, somewhat hesitant.

The two weren't too far apart. Ye Ziye could clearly see the contents of the claw machine: some adorable cat plush toys. Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up as she looked at them.

Ye Ziye, intrigued, suppressed her initial thought of taking a stroll and decided to see what Yukino Yukinoshita was up to. (Zero)

After standing in front of the claw machine for a while, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have decided on the plush toy she wanted. She tossed 100 yen into the coin slot and began carefully operating the machine.

The grappling hook aimed at the head of a white cat, clamping it perfectly, and Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up. (Five)

However, Ye Ziye, who was watching from the side, knew very well that the doll would not be able to be pulled out. Its position was not fixed, and it would fall down if it was moved even slightly.

If you ask him why he's so sure, it's because level 3 game skills are no joke.

Just as he expected, the white cat plushie died halfway through. Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, but unwilling to give up, she threw in another 100 yen.

Just like last time, Yukino Yukinoshita failed again, and this time the grappling hook didn't even touch the doll.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood there for a while, then took out a handful of 100-yen coins from her pocket. It was clear that she had come prepared this time.

Taking a deep breath, Yukino Yukinoshita began her third operation, her target still the white cat plush toy.

The grappling hook moves, falls, misses the plush toy, all in one smooth motion. Yukino Yukinoshita, who can usually do anything, is surprisingly bad at playing claw machines.

Three failures seemed to have made Yukino Yukinoshita reflect deeply. She changed her position and her target: a black cat doll.

Compared to the white one, its head is larger.

Ye Ziye, who had been watching from the back, nodded. This was the right choice. Both in terms of position and shape, the black doll was a better choice than the white doll.

He felt that Yukino Yukinoshita should be able to succeed this time; the black cat was close to the exit, and he could take it down with just a slight movement.

One can imagine that the last person who wanted this black cat doll must have put in a lot of effort, but in the end, due to insufficient funds, the doll remained unused.

Yukino Yukinoshita's actions can be described as taking advantage of a loophole.

He inserted a hundred-yuan coin, and the grappling hook sank down, grabbing the black cat's head. Ye Ziye stared intently, somewhat anticipating the outcome of this toy.

However, as Yukino Yukinoshita manipulated, the doll did not go out as Ye Ziye had predicted. Instead, it was tossed around and landed in the middle of the box, head down.

Ye Zi sighed. If it were him, the doll would have been discarded.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly not someone who would give up easily. This time, she didn't hesitate at all, and put in another 100 yen coin to start conquering the black cat doll.

Ten minutes later.

Yukino Yukinoshita had lost half of her coins, and she had moved the black cat doll to the very back of the box.

Ye Ziye watched from behind the whole time, and he had to admit that someone as talentless as Yukino Yukinoshita was truly unique in human history.

Another 100-yen coin. Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't given up and was ready to try again, but she seemed to have sensed something and didn't rush to operate it this time.

Perhaps it was because Ye Ziye's gaze was too intense, but Yukino Yukinoshita turned around, and their eyes met.

Chapter 48

During their brief eye contact, Yukino Yukinoshita quietly slipped the coin back into her pocket.

She glanced at Ye Ziye, her expression unchanged, straightened her back, and tried to leave the vicinity of the claw machine.

But she had only taken two steps when she turned and walked towards Ye Ziye. The two were not far apart, only a few steps away.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

"You should have said that as soon as you saw me."

Ye Ziye made a comment, then looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in front of him.

For some reason, her clothes were rather ordinary, unlike the other girls in the mall who wore pretty dresses; instead, she wore a blue long-sleeved shirt and trousers.

But even so, it still can't hide Yukino Yukinoshita's charm.

What are you doing in this shopping mall?

"Buy cat food."

Ye Ziye lifted the bag in his hand; inside was Garfield's food rations for a month, which had cost him a fortune.

Do you have a cat at home?

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up, but her tone remained as calm as ever.

"Yes, it's Garfield. It's my LINE profile picture."

He was now certain that the usually aloof Yukino Yukinoshita was a cat lover, and quite deeply so.

"By the way, you want that doll?"

Ye Ziye stopped sitting, stood up, and pointed to the claw machine that Yukino Yukinoshita had struggled with for ten minutes.

"I don't want to."

"But you were there for ten minutes and spent several thousand yen, right? That claw machine is still lit up; didn't you put coins in there too?"

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, then looked up at Yoko Yoru's alluring face.

When did you see it?
