Merge 2 layers while retaining the blending style.

Hello,
I have 2 layers that I would like to merge (there are others in the file and I want to keep the transparency so I can't "flatten" the image)
- 1 layer as "product"
- 1 other below in "normal" blending mode
I have linked the 2 layers together, but when I merge them, the one in "product" loses the qualities of its blending mode.
How can I make sure it retains them?
Thank you for your responses.

They overlap, with the little red heart there is also the white of the eye
Can you explain how the white of the eye can overlap with the heart?
Or how the white of the eye and the red of the heart can overlap with the outline of the drawing?
It doesn't change anything I told you:
The blending modes are used to create effects
In this case, it is about merging the heart and the black outline
Merging layers does not require changing their blending mode
The goal is to merge all the colors of the snake without the background!
Well, you select the snake layers together and you make it either a smart object to be able to modify them later, or a rasterized layer
And do this without changing their blending mode beforehand

To be more precise:
your drawing is scanned, okay
so your goal is to paint it
to do this, we start by cleaning the line art
to isolate it, we don't trace it, we extract it by going through the layers
when the drawing is clean, on alpha, we paint by color on layers that we place underneath
there is no need to change the blending mode, we just paint and that's it
when it's done, we save it as .png and keep the psd with all the layers
we can then place the colored drawing on the background of our choice

but you are not answering my question
I asked you why you changed the blending mode of this layer and you haven't answered me either
we can still set a layer to multiply mode or other, no problem
but we need to know why
but anyway, if you think it comes from a bug and that it's fixed, all the better
in that case, thank you for marking the topic as resolved
have a nice day:)

After, it's as if the top layer had been merged in normal mode

if I saw correctly, on the normal layer there is the small red heart on an alpha background
and on the layer you set to overlay, it's the outline of the snake
question: why put this layer in overlay since the colored areas of these layers do not overlap?
a blending mode is designed to produce an effect by mixing the pixels of a layer and the one underneath it in different ways
for a blending mode to take effect, the areas of the layers concerned by the blending change must overlap
otherwise, it is strictly useless!
The outline of the snake is actually a scanned drawing that wasn't very well cut out, so in product mode, only the black lines are visible and the white is blended in and disappears :)
After that, I made an example with the layer containing the eye and the heart, but the goal is to merge all the colors of the snake without the background!
