"Oh no, Meow, because I've fused with you, the virtualization can't last very long, Meow!"

The next second, an explanation came from Meow in his mind.

Yan Huan's face turned black immediately, and before he could even utter "useless," a shadow surged toward Yan Huan like a rising tide.

"..."

Feeling his body covered by darkness, Yan Huan was momentarily stunned, then he looked up, glancing to his side.

He saw Ye Shiyu, in her pajamas, infinitely gentle, exuding an almost saintly aura, looking at him.

"Meow..."

Perhaps because he had just seen Ye Shiyu's extremely gentle side, Yan Huan blinked, focusing on this ultimate version of Ye Shiyu in this if-line.

But what greeted him was not the warmth from before...

Instead, it was Ye Shiyu's foot rising high.

"Meow?"

When Yan Huan saw Ye Shiyu's slipper rising far above his head, about to crash down like Mount Tai, his previously cute expression froze.

"Boom!!"

But the next second, his survival instinct kicked in before his rationality, activating escape mode.

Because, just as he leaped away, Ye Shiyu's kick, like a powerful soccer shot, barely missed his ear as he ducked instinctively.

"Meow?!"

The shot, worthy of a place in World Cup history, made Yan Huan's heart almost stop.

He turned his head, only to see a cat lover sister enveloped in black energy.

At this moment, the terrifying aura reminded Yan Huan of...

The fear of being dominated by Ye Shiyu.

"Where did this dead cat come from..."

"Meow?"

Yan Huan didn't speak, but Meow in his mind let out a delighted laugh,

"That's how Ye Shiyu treated me before, Meow! Now you feel my pain too, Meow?!"

It's all because your useless virtualization can't last!!

Yan Huan was starting to blush slightly, but now Ye Shiyu was coming with a cold face from behind, scaring Yan Huan so much that his fur instinctively stood on end, and he opened his mouth...

This was the prelude to hissing!

"..."

But in the end, Yan Huan did nothing, just took a few steps back, and looked up at the approaching Ye Shiyu.

For some reason, he instinctively felt that if he hissed at Ye Shiyu, she might actually kill him on the spot...

So, Yan Huan decided to play it safe and not provoke Ye Shiyu.

"..."

And looking at the obedient white cat in front of her, Ye Shiyu was slightly stunned and stopped her actions.

Seeing this, Yan Huan showed an "I knew it" expression.

For Ye Shiyu, the cat lover, the more you hiss, the quicker you die!

On the contrary, if you don't hiss and show friendliness, she would...

Keep lifting her foot?!

"Meow?!"

Seeing Ye Shiyu with an unrelenting, tyrant-like look, still intending to kick, Yan Huan was horrified and quickly wanted to retreat.

But at this moment, Ye Shiyu's foot had already reached him with a gust of wind.

"Stop!"

In the nick of time, a voice, like an angel's, came from behind, stopping Ye Shiyu's kicking motion.

From the master bedroom, Bai Yi emerged, no longer in a state of indifference.

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Shiyu was slightly stunned and frowned,

"Bai Yi?"

"That's my cat, don't touch him..."

Saying this, Bai Yi bent down and picked up the soccer ball... oh no, Yan Huan, into her arms.

"..."

But it was only after entering Bai Yi's embrace that Yan Huan noticed she not only still held a pocket watch tightly but was also slightly trembling.

Looking up, her skin was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Yet, her expression seemed calm and composed, seemingly as if nothing could shake her.

"Your cat... how did you get in? What are you doing here?"

"I came in using indifference... I... I came to find Yan Huan, I have something to tell him, that's all."

Bai Yi's long fingers clenched, originally thinking of an excuse to meet Yan Huan behind Ye Shiyu's back...

But hearing this, Ye Shiyu tilted her head and asked,

"What's indifference?"

"Huh?"

"?"

Bai Yi was dumbfounded, as was Yan Huan in her arms.

After all this time in this timeline, she still doesn't know indifference?

The two exchanged a glance, and Bai Yi hesitantly explained,

"It's, something like your hypnosis..."

"...What is hypnosis?"

"?!"

This time, Bai Yi was completely stunned.

And Yan Huan realized something instantly:

This Ye Shiyu in the if-line isn't the host of the modifier!

"Uhh..."

Seeing Bai Yi fall silent, Ye Shiyu sighed, glanced towards the bedroom, and softly said,

"My husband blocked you, and that's why you're going crazy, isn't it?"

"I!"

Hearing "my husband" and Ye Shiyu saying she was going crazy, Bai Yi immediately got angry.

But the next second, under Ye Shiyu's gaze, she suddenly wasn't angry anymore.

"..."

"And even if you wanted to find him, I don't know where he is now either?"

Hmm?

Hearing this, Bai Yi looked up and asked,

"What do you mean you don't know where he is now?"

"..."

Ye Shiyu lowered her eyes, took out her phone, and softly said,

"He said he'd be back for dinner before leaving work this afternoon. I made dinner and waited, but then he suddenly disappeared. I haven't heard from him since..."

She took out her phone, showing Bai Yi the chat logs to prove she wasn't lying.

Yan Huan glanced over and found it was indeed the case.

At around 4:20 in the afternoon, there was clearly a message saying, "Honey, I want ribs for dinner."
