Chapter 242 The Cat's Cuteness (●?ω?●)?

In that dimly lit room, as if swallowed by the night, Lin Xiyue lay quietly on the incredibly soft bed, like a beautiful sleeping elf.

Perhaps because it was the height of summer and the room was unbearably hot, she was only wearing a thin, almost transparent nightgown.

The soft fabric of the nightgown gently touched her graceful body, like a layer of hazy mist softly enveloping her.

At this moment, she was tightly hugging a soft pillow, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear. She was sleeping so soundly, completely immersed in a wonderful dream world, with a faint, captivating smile on her lips.

In this unbearably hot weather, Lin Xiyue could only cover herself with a thin blanket, barely covering her flat, smooth belly. The rest of her body was mostly exposed to the air.

Her fair and delicate skin was as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, radiating a charming luster.

However, on this snow-white skin, there were clearly the "evidence of crime" left by Meros last night—those red marks of varying depths, and crisscrossing kiss marks.

They resemble tiny red plum blossoms silently falling on the snow, delicate and vibrant, inspiring endless imagination. Each kiss mark seems to tell a story of last night's passionate love affair, making one blush, feel heart palpitations, and let their imagination run wild.

"call--"

Upon seeing this, Meros held his breath and exhaled after a long while.

Now, Meros felt that all the apologies, begging for forgiveness, and promises of never doing it again that were going on in his head were fake; all he wanted to do now was to press down...

"Well--"

Just as Meros was about to put his brilliant idea into practice, Lin Xiyue, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly opened her eyes.

As her vision gradually cleared, the first thing she saw was a black cat, as black as ink, like a ghost of the night.

The mysterious black cat stood silently in front of her bed. Its eyes, which shimmered with an eerie emerald light, were like two emerald gems, fixed on her. Its gaze was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the depths of her soul, and it even felt as if green light might burst forth from it at any moment.

"what--!!!"

Lin Xiyue was so frightened by the sudden sight before her that she turned pale and instinctively screamed.

Overwhelmed with fright, she instinctively leaned back sharply, instantly losing her balance and about to fall awkwardly off the bed.

In the blink of an eye, at the critical moment, Meros instantly transformed back into human form without hesitation.

In a flash, he swiftly extended his arms and precisely and tightly embraced the swaying Lin Xiyue, successfully preventing her from getting hurt.

"What's wrong, baby? Are you scared?"

Moros held Lin Xiyue in his arms and asked her in a low voice.

"It's all your fault! How dare you suddenly come in! Didn't I tell you not to come in?!"

Lin Xiyue then realized that the black cat that had been secretly watching her in the darkness was Moros, but she had just woken up and hadn't realized it yet.

"Baby, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

Moros was momentarily speechless at Lin Xiyue's sudden question. His body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and began to act coquettishly in a very natural way.

He murmured softly as he opened his arms and hugged Lin Xiyue tightly, burying his head in her soft, warm embrace, nuzzling her like a child.

"You!!! o(′^｀)o"

Just as Lin Xiyue was about to curse in anger, something unexpected happened—suddenly, two fluffy, round, and adorable cat ears appeared on the top of Moros's head!

Those black ears suddenly stood erect on his head without warning, swaying gently with his movements, as if begging Lin Xiyue for mercy.

"Hey, you're cheating!"

Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her, who had an incomparably handsome face but wore a pair of cute cat ears. Her anger instantly dissipated by more than half.

"Hmph, don't think you can get away with this so easily. I won't let you off so easily!"

However, despite this, she was still unwilling to admit defeat easily.

In reality, who could actually get angry at such an adorable cat?

Especially when they saw those clear, innocent eyes and that exceptionally handsome face, they couldn't even muster a thought of blaming him.

After all, in Lin Xiyue's heart, how could a cat possibly have any bad intentions? (?w?)

Sensing that Lin Xiyue's attitude had softened, Molos immediately seized the opportunity to press his advantage.

His tail, which had been hidden under his clothes, suddenly emerged like a nimble little snake, gently wrapping around Lin Xiyue's slender ankle. With a slight pull, he successfully imprisoned her firmly in his broad, sturdy embrace.

"You! Be gentle... um..."

Lin Xiyue was pulled into his arms, and before she could utter two words, he silenced her with a kiss.

Then, all the sounds disappeared between their lips and teeth.

"Jingle Bell--"

Just then, a crisp and urgent doorbell rang out without warning, the sound like a thunderclap shattering the ambiguous atmosphere inside the house.

Upon hearing the sudden noise, Lin Xiyue was startled and reacted almost instinctively. She pushed Molos beside her and tried to get up quickly to check the situation outside the door.

However, Melos clearly did not expect Lin Xiyue to make such a move, and he was caught off guard and was pushed away.

He lost his balance and fell heavily onto the soft bed.

Due to the intimate contact between the two just now, his clothes were now somewhat disheveled and loosely open, revealing his strong and muscular chest and well-defined eight-pack abs.

Those perfectly sculpted muscles exude an irresistible charm. Even more captivating are the barely visible V-lines that extend downwards from the abdomen, disappearing at the waistband, as if concealing endless mysterious allure.

Not only that, the cute cat ears on Meros's head were slightly tilted due to his movements, but this did not diminish their cuteness at all; on the contrary, it added a touch of playfulness and liveliness to him.

At this moment, Meros was like a charming cat, languid yet sexy, making people unable to resist taking a second look.

Lin Xiyue was stunned by what she saw.

Her eyes widened, her gaze fixed on Meros's breathtaking physique, completely forgetting that she was supposed to open the door.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everything around her became blurry, except for the alluring figure of Meros, which was clearly imprinted in her mind.
