Chapter 76 Doctor: Meow Yellow, I'll be your dad!
Chapter 76 Doctor: Meow Yellow, I'll be your dad!
Regardless of whether the host survives this time, judging from her expression, she doesn't care about surviving, but rather whether she'll even survive at all.
Leoria's rage silenced the entire fighting arena. Everyone watched Lin Xuanyi leave, carrying Miaohuang, with a mixture of respect and regret.
Although it's unclear what his relationship with the Golden Lion is, everyone thinks this guy is doomed.
He will be completely devoured by the golden lion, leaving not even a trace.
Those who come to the underground fighting arena to watch the matches are definitely not good-natured people.
Only Unicorn, the manager of the Valkyrie Arena, watched all this with an incredibly happy and excited look, rewarding himself handsomely while mentally shouting:
"That's right! This is exactly what I want to see!!! Fight! Fight them all! I want to see rivers of blood! Hehehehehe..."
……
Then, we went to the safe house we had visited before. The bedroom was simply decorated.
Lin Xuanyi put Miaohuang on the bed.
"Should we take a shower first, or eat first?"
He asked that question, but Meow Yellow did not respond.
Miao Huang lay on the bed, pretending to be a plant. Lin Xuanyi stayed by her side, gently taking care of her. The whole day passed like this before Miao Huang finally spoke.
……
Meow Yellow: "Why...?"
These three short characters are followed by a long string of implied meanings.
Why help yourself? Why save yourself? Why choose yourself? Why care about yourself?
Let me just die quietly by myself.
So what do you want?
Are you mocking me, coveting my body, or plotting something else sinister?
Whatever, I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want...
However, Lin Xuanyi's answer was as follows:
"Of course it's because I care about you, silly."
He sat down on the edge of Meow Yellow's bed: "I know you haven't met any good people before."
But you've been a magical girl for a while now, haven't you?
You should also understand that this world is not just filled with darkness and malice, right?
It's fine to arm yourself with indifference and loneliness when you're in the dark. But when you're with your companions, you can be a little more frank, Meow Yellow.
Miao Huang was slightly touched, but only a little.
When Lin Xuanyi mentioned "magical girl", the images of Yue Mei and Xing Yin flashed through her mind.
Yue Mei, who dotes on her like a younger sister, and Xing Yin, who argues with her every day, actually have a good relationship.
There's also Lin Xuanyi, a magical cat with a deep mind who doesn't seem like a good person.
My friend.
A partner is someone who helps you when you need it.
They comfort you when you're disappointed and lend a helping hand when you're in despair. That's what a true friend is. Just like Yue Mei and Xing Yin.
Lin Xuanyi meant that Miao Huang should also treat him as a partner.
But they are different.
Lin Xuanyi is different from Yue Mei and Xing Yin.
Because he was older and more mature. And also because Lin Xuanyi himself didn't treat Miao Huang as a "partner," but rather as a child who needed care.
He was the kind of character who never appeared in Miaohuang's short life and was always absent.
They are irreplaceable, no matter how outstanding a partner they are. They are trustworthy, mature, and reliable adults.
Meow Yellow hates being treated like a child. One of the most important reasons is that she has never experienced being treated like a child.
There was never a reliable adult to take care of her, listen to her complaints, let her act spoiled, or comfort her when she cried.
……
That's just how children are. Often, when children cry, it's not because they're scared or in pain, but because they're putting on an act. They cry for the adults. It's a way for them to be affectionate and seek attention.
For example, sometimes when a child falls down, they don't cry immediately. Instead, they turn to look at their father, and only cry after confirming that their father is looking at them.
……
When crying proves useless, a child loses the ability to cry.
This doesn't mean that a child grows into an adult in an instant. Rather, it means that a piece of the child's personality is cut off, leaving them incomplete.
This is what Meow Yellow looks like.
She was wronged and no one stood up for her; she was in pain and no one comforted her; she wanted to do something but couldn't find anyone to help her.
The experience of losing both parents at a young age has shaped her into the person she is today: unruly, aggressive, and finding it difficult to trust others.
In this situation, it's already remarkable that Nyanko-sensei, after gaining power, still yearns for light and justice, protecting the world as a magical girl instead of turning into a magical madwoman and destroying the earth. This proves that she is a truly good girl.
She found new friends, and developed her own career and aspirations. Life gradually improved.
So childhood, father, spoiled behavior, or whatever else... Miaohuang originally thought she no longer needed them. She had already forged herself a suit of armor strong enough to withstand swords and snowstorms.
However, when Leoria's ultimate move, the Lion's Hundred Bombs, rendered her unable to get up, MeowGirl's hard shell shattered, once again revealing her soft, childlike nature.
Unlike before, this time, a man appeared by her side who allowed her to act coquettishly and cry freely.
That is, Lin Xuanyi.
Miao Huang could hardly imagine herself crying in Yue Mei's arms, and Xing Yin could hardly imagine it either.
But, what about the man in front of me? Shouldn't it be okay?
If it were him, he would definitely respond to her whining and crying, and would take good care of her and pamper her.
He can fill the void left by my own childhood. Is that right?
I hope I haven't trusted the wrong person.
Meow Yellow looked at Lin Xuanyi with a wary, worried, yet expectant gaze, just like a pet facing a stranger's owner.
It's like a kitten in a cardboard box that's been taken in.
She watched as he opened his arms to her, gesturing that she could hug him.
Meow Yellow tentatively moved forward a little, then made sure the other party didn't laugh at her or leave.
Finally, she choked back a sob, and her eyes reddened again. Then she threw herself into Lin Xuanyi's arms. With a "meow," she cried as if someone had stolen her carefully prepared meal in a torrential downpour.
She was crying not only for the battle the day before yesterday, but also for herself who had been desperately holding on for the past ten years.
"It's okay, it's alright."
Lin Xuanyi said gently to her, "If I could become Miaohuang's father, I would be happy to drive a Maybach, live in a mansion, and enjoy delicacies every day."
Hearing him say that, the cat, who was crying very hard, opened its mouth, tears streaming down its face, and bit his shoulder hard.
Despite the sweet pain, Lin Xuanyi continued to hold the lovely girl tightly. He neither cried out nor let go.
