The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 493 is just a daily routine.

"Wow, it smells so good..."

Lin Xiyue had been busy for several hours when she suddenly smelled this fragrance and couldn't help but sigh.

Her stomach also started growling at that moment, reminding her that she hadn't eaten in a long time.

"Time to eat!"

An Qing's voice was like a clear spring flowing in the air, cheerful and crisp, as if it could penetrate people's eardrums and reach their hearts.

The sound was like a signal, causing everyone who had been busy to look up at the same time, their eyes all turning towards the direction where An Qing was.

An Qing was carrying two large, heavy takeout bags, which were bulging as if they were filled with all kinds of delicious food.

She carefully placed the bag on the dining table, then gently lifted a corner of it, and an enticing aroma immediately wafted out, making one's mouth water.

Meanwhile, the huge rice cooker was emitting beautiful steam, the white mist rising slowly like a blooming cloud.

Through the thin layer of mist, one could imagine that the rice in the rice cooker was cooked until each grain was plump, translucent, and exuding a faint aroma of rice.

"Alright, alright, let's go eat. Everyone's tired."

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue quickly put down what she was holding and breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and walked briskly to the dining table.

"Come and eat, everyone! Anqing, our little cutie, ordered so much delicious food!"

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she took another takeout package from An Qing and quickly and skillfully placed the food inside on the table.

Hearing Lin Xiyue's call, Moros slowly put down the small bottle in his hand and stood up.

His movements were elegant and composed. He walked steadily toward the dining table, unhurried and calm. Only when he reached Lin Xiyue did he sit down next to her and casually set out the food for her.

At the same time, Li Si followed closely behind Mo Luo Si to the dining table. He looked exhausted and casually found a seat and sat down without moving, looking like he could fall asleep at any moment.

Surprisingly, Guai Guai was the one who moved the fastest.

"Woof woof—Where's mine? Where's mine?"

It barked twice, calling out urgently.

Immediately afterwards, Guai Guai rushed to the dining table like a bolt of lightning.

"No, we have to wait for the others to arrive first."

Just as Guai Guai was about to plop down at the table and reach out to grab some food, Lin Xiyue swiftly grabbed it and gently pressed it into a seat before saying something.

Although Guai Guai was somewhat unwilling, she still obeyed Lin Xiyue's arrangement and obediently sat down.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Why isn't the others here yet?! I can't wait!"

As soon as she sat down, Guai Guai couldn't contain her excitement and couldn't wait to ask.

Its voice was full of anticipation.

"Don't rush, don't rush, it'll be ready in a moment. We need to wait until everyone is seated so we can eat together."

Seeing this, An Qing quickly smiled and comforted her.

After spending the morning together, Anqing had established a good relationship with Guaiguai and gained some understanding of its habits.

So, as An Qing spoke, she thoughtfully took a large bowl for Guai Guai and placed it in front of it.

Not only that, An Qing also considered that Guai Guai might not be very good at using chopsticks, so she specially prepared a spoon for it as well.

Okay! (???)

Guai Guai looked at the big bowl and spoon in front of her, happily wagged her tail, and mumbled something.

Its round eyes gleamed as it stared intently at the food on the table, as if it were its favorite food.

Despite the saliva swirling in its mouth, it remained very well-behaved, showing no signs of moving around.

It simply sat there quietly, patiently waiting for everyone to take their seats so they could enjoy the sumptuous lunch together.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Lin Xiyue stood up with a big smile on her face, her voice revealing barely suppressed excitement.

"This is our first meal after thwarting the conspiracy, so let's consider it a victory celebration!"

She looked around, her gaze falling on everyone, and then spoke loudly.

"Come on, cheers!"

After saying that, she raised the cup in her hand to show it to everyone.

The glass didn't contain real alcohol; it contained sparkling water.

So, although Lin Xiyue pretended to be celebrating with everyone drinking, in reality, everyone's glass only contained sparkling water; it was just for show.

After all, Lin Xiyue still had to work on the puppets with Molos, Li Si, and the other two in the afternoon. If she got drunk, she wouldn't be able to continue working.

Although Moros and Li Si are actually allowed to drink alcohol, and drinking doesn't significantly affect their work in the afternoon.

But how could Lin Xiyue let them drink while she could only watch helplessly?

As for Anqing and Guaiguai, one is a young child and the other is half a puppy, so naturally they can't drink alcohol.

Therefore, at this so-called "victory celebration banquet," everyone could only drink sparkling water instead of alcohol to celebrate their victory.

"Okay, cheers!"

With a smile on his face and bright eyes, Melos noticed Lin Xiyue's actions and, without hesitation, raised his glass full of sparkling water and echoed her in a cheerful voice.

"cheers!"

Lin Xiyue's voice was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, and her face was beaming with a bright smile that echoed Moros's smile.

"Cheers! []~(￣▽￣)~*"

An Qing didn't quite understand, but she still excitedly shouted "Cheers!" and raised her glass, the liquid inside sparkling under the light.

"cheers."

Then, Li Si joined in the toasting, his voice deep and powerful.

After Meros raised his glass, the others followed suit, standing up as their glasses clinked together.

The sound, like a harmonious note in a symphony, instantly ignited a joyful atmosphere throughout the room.

After everyone clinked glasses in a pleasant manner, they sat down and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

The dishes on the table were delicious in color, aroma, and taste, making them incredibly tempting.

As everyone enjoyed the delicious food, they chatted about lighthearted topics, their laughter and conversation filling the entire room.

And so, time passed by, and Lin Xiyue and her team spent four whole days in intense and busy work.

During these four days, everyone was fully focused on their work and did not slack off in the slightest.
