The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Is Chapter 491 a doll?

Finally, Li Si walked up to Meros's side.

Then he didn't speak to disturb Meros, but stood quietly to the side, observing his every move.

Meros paid no attention to Li Si's actions; all his attention was focused on the soul he was nurturing in his hands.

During this time, Meros raised his head, but his gaze was not on Li Si, but on Lin Xiyue who was not far away.

Then, he would quickly lower his head and continue to focus on the movements in his hands.

Li Si observed for a while and realized that Moros really didn't seem to want to pay any attention to him.

So he sighed helplessly, carefully walked around the parts on the ground again, and headed towards Lin Xiyue, who was not far away.

"You've arrived?"

Lin Xiyue seemed to sense someone approaching and saw Li Si's shadow. She looked up.

Only then did he temporarily free himself from the troublesome arms of the modified doll and look at Li Si.

"Um... um, what do I need to do?"

Li Si asked somewhat awkwardly.

His gaze shifted between the materials on the ground and those on Lin Xiyue's table, as if he were thinking about how he could help.

"Go ahead and say it, I'll listen to whatever you say."

After hesitating for a while, he finally seemed to give in and asked.

"Can you sculpt dolls?"

Lin Xiyue did not answer Li Si's question directly, but asked this question first.

After all, if someone could help sculpt the dolls, her workload would be greatly reduced.

"I can only sculpt the most basic human figure."

Li Si hesitated for a moment, seemingly lacking confidence, but still mustered the courage to speak.

His voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of shyness, making him seem as if he were being modest.

Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up when she heard Li Si's words, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Wow! Is that so? Why don't you try making a small one for me first?"

She excitedly pointed to a small piece of clay-like substance on the table and cheerfully said to Li Si.

Li Si nodded without hesitation, walked directly to the table, and sat down in an empty chair.

He picked up the material and the tools at hand, ready to start sculpting the figure.

Seeing that Li Si had started to work, Lin Xiyue stopped paying attention to him and instead focused her attention on the arm that was almost finished in her hand.

She carefully added nails to her arms, each movement showing exceptional focus.

For a moment, the entire wishing shop fell silent, with only a few faint sounds echoing in the air.

Li Si focused intently on shaping the little figure, his fingers deftly manipulating the material to mold it into various shapes.

Lin Xiyue, meanwhile, was completely focused on adding details to the arm. Her movements were gentle and meticulous, as if she were creating a beautiful work of art.

Meanwhile, An Qing was quietly cleaning the room, her movements light and quiet, without disturbing Li Si and Lin Xiyue.

Inside the wishing shop, the quiet atmosphere creates a sense of peace and harmony, as if time itself has stood still.

Even Guai Guai seemed to know the importance of the matter. It lay obediently in the doghouse that Mo Luosi had somehow gotten the night before, like a statue, quietly watching the busy figures of everyone.

Despite its silence, it doesn't feel dull at all; instead, it exudes a unique and warm atmosphere.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Si finally slowly raised his head, looked around, and his gaze finally landed on Lin Xiyue.

"Well... um, I made a rough one, you... you can take a look."

His lips trembled slightly, as if he found it difficult to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he stammered out the words.

As soon as he said it, Li Si seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Then he suddenly closed his eyes, as if he were about to face a life-or-death test, his face full of resolute determination.

At the same time, he slowly loosened his grip on his large hand and handed the tiny figure he had just made to Lin Xiyue.

Upon hearing Li Si's voice, Lin Xiyue reflexively raised her head.

Before she could even see Li Si's face clearly, she caught a glimpse of a huge hand reaching straight up in front of her like a mountain pressing down on an egg.

She looked closely and saw that the large hand was tightly holding something.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel curious. She subconsciously lowered her head, wanting to see what exactly the thing that Li Si was holding so tightly was.

Just as her gaze fell upon the lump, Li Si's large hand loosened its grip, revealing what was inside.

Hmm... how should I describe it? Well, you could say it's a human-shaped doll, but its limbs are in a strange position: one is pointing upwards, one downwards, one is long, and one is short—clearly asymmetrical.

But if you say it's not a human-shaped doll, then it is clearly human-shaped, without any strange or unusual features.

How should I describe this... It's like a kindergarten child drawing a family portrait on paper for the first time, pointing to a slightly distorted human figure, and saying in a childish voice that it's Dad.

Well, it's not scary at all; in fact, it's kind of cute.

However, if this thing were actually enlarged to scale and given to a young girl to use as her body, she would probably scream in fright when she woke up in the middle of the night and saw herself in the mirror.

After all, in our three-dimensional world, the sudden appearance of a three-dimensional, two-dimensional thing is quite bizarre just to think about!

"Ah! Cough cough cough..."

Lin Xiyue coughed loudly a few times, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Is this... is this what you spent three hours sculpting?"

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, then pointed somewhat awkwardly at the strange little gadget and said to Li Si.

Li Si's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

"Ah, yes...yes, yes. I...I've tried my best."

His ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. He lowered his head and stammered as he answered:

His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a mosquito's hum, clearly indicating that he was not very satisfied with his work.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Xiyue looked embarrassed and was speechless for a moment. She really couldn't think of anything to say to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the strange doll, and a wave of embarrassment washed over her.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Li Si seemed to sense the strange atmosphere. He looked at the lump in his hand, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said...

The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
