Chapter 396 [Abnormality in the Warehouse]

Jiang Lili received Su Rui's message and almost forgot about him. She quickly tried to calm the troops: [You can delay for a while longer, and try to be more willing to accept it! I'm trying to give you a chance!]

Jiang Lili planned to do something in the storeroom of the princess's mansion to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Zhang Xiaopang told her that there were often stray cats near Professor Ning's research base, and the staff at the base would feed these poor little guys at regular times and locations. Seeing that these little guys were smart and clever, Xiaopang took them in and brought them to his grandfather's house to accompany his grandfather instead of him.

As a result, Xiaopang was beaten up by his grandfather and scolded for looking for trouble.

Although the grandfather expressed his dislike, he was always frugal and still took the six kittens to the pet hospital for a bath and vaccination.

The reason Jiang Lili remembered that these six kittens could be of great help was that Xiaopang had told him that the pattern on the forehead of one of the orange cats looked like the Chinese character "王".

Jiang Lili had asked Zhang Xiaopang to pick out six stray cats to wash in advance today. She wanted to see if there was a chance to feed these kittens with royal food for a while, raise them until they were fat and white, and then send them back.

Here's an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

After processing the food in the courtyard, Jiang Lili returned to Maoer's room.

After applying medicine to Xin Che's wounds, he added some cat food for the kittens to eat in the evening, changed his clothes, and sat upright on a chair in the cats' bedroom, reading the book on modern fighting techniques that Jiang Lili had given him.

The warm yellow candlelight reflected on his face, and his long eyelashes cast an elegant blue color.

Xin Che heard footsteps, looked up and saw that it was Jiang Lili coming back, and his eyes lit up visibly.

When Jiang Lili saw this, she suddenly felt that Xin Che was like a Maine Coon cat waiting for its owner to come home.

She walked around to him and hugged his arm: "Xin Che, I have something to ask of you."

"It's all up to you."

Xin Che put the book in his hand aside and looked at her leisurely with his head tilted.

Jiang Lili brought a backpack from the corner of the room and said mysteriously, "Wait a moment."

[@江麗麗: Xiaopang, I'm ready, please bring the kitten over here!]

@Zhang Xiaopang: Okay!

The next moment, a cat airline box covered with cloth appeared next to Jiang Lili's backpack. Jiang Lili held cat food in one hand and lifted the cloth with the other. Six little stray cats were nestled in the airline box, looking at the surrounding environment curiously.

Having been displaced since childhood, they are much more well-behaved and obedient than the pampered cats in the princess's mansion. Because food is hard to come by, they are very good at pleasing the people who take them in and reading their faces.

Seeing that Jiang Lili had food in her hand, they all looked up at Jiang Lili with their watery eyes.

Jiang Lili put her index finger to her lips: "Shh, be quiet."

A little fellow who was about to meow to show his cuteness immediately stopped meowing.

"So smart!" Jiang Lili heard from Xiaopang that these kittens were very smart, but she didn't expect that they could understand human nature to such an extent.

Xin Che now gets a headache whenever he sees cats, but these little stray cats are very well-behaved and just stay in the basket, which makes him less worried.

He saw the markings on the forehead of an orange cat, and when he looked closely, it looked like the Chinese character "王". Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he finally understood why Jiang Lili asked these cats for help.

Xin Che asked Jiang Lili, "Where did these cats come from? They're quite different from the unruly cats in the princess's mansion."

Jiang Lili told Xin Che the origins of the six stray cats and then gave him a miniature surveillance camera. "Can you install this camera in the princess's storeroom and then put these kittens in the storeroom so that they can attract the attention of the servants in the princess's mansion?"

She looked at him expectantly with eyes as bright as a cat's.

Unable to refuse such a look, Xin Che nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Lili squatted down and told these clever kittens: "Be good and stay in the basket. We will be able to eat and drink delicious food soon~"

She stroked the kittens' heads, fed them cat food, and covered them with the cloth again.

Xin Che touched Jiang Lili's head and said, "I'll be back soon."

He carried the airline box out of the bedroom, used his lightness skills to climb onto the eaves in a few steps, and then disappeared into the yard.

The bedroom became quiet, and Jiang Lili became nervous, praying that Xin Che would return safely.

During this period, Su Rui would pop up a message to Jiang Lili from time to time.

[Help! The princess has entered the house.]

She gave me some wine.

She touched my hand!

[What should I do? The more I hide from her, the more excited she gets!]

Jiang Lili had no choice but to comfort Su Rui: [Don't worry, just bear with it. Your savior will be here soon!]

She waited anxiously for less than a quarter of an hour before Xin Che came back.

When he fell from the eaves of Xin Che's house and landed in front of Jiang Lili, the heavy stone in Jiang Lili's heart fell, and she ran to him in a few steps.

Seeing the calmness in Xin Che's eyes, she knew that the matter was settled, and she felt at ease.

Jiang Lili couldn't help but sigh: "So fast!"

"I don't want you to worry too long."

Xin Che took Jiang Lili's hand and pulled her into the house, and at the same time called the cats playing outside back into the house.

"Besides, your friend should be very anxious now."

Xin Che knew immediately that Jiang Lili was planning to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

In Su Rui's yard.

The hibiscus tent is warm and the wine is intoxicating.

Su Rui's neck was already scratched by the princess's long nails. He suggested to Sheng Yin, who was teasing him with her eyes, "Princess, how about we play a game of drinking and rock-paper-scissors?"

"It's a round-based game. Whoever loses... takes off one piece of clothing."

When Sheng Yin heard Su Rui's suggestion, her eyebrows raised, her red lips curved, and she said with a long, charming tone: "Okay."

“This gameplay is quite novel.”

Su Rui tried his best to keep his hand steady as he poured the wine, hoping that the savior Jiang Lili had mentioned would arrive soon. He definitely couldn't drink as much as this domineering princess.

After three rounds of drinks, Su Rui had taken off all the clothes on his upper body, and even the headband on his head had loosened. He was still cheating and counting the headband as a piece of clothing.

After the fourth glass of wine, Sheng Yin finally lost. She smiled faintly and took off the luxurious jeweled peony gold hairpin on her head.

As soon as she took off the hairpin, Sheng Yin's black hair fell down, and her every move was full of charm.

Su Rui kept smiling on his face, but he was becoming more and more panicked. He felt that the princess's patience was almost at its limit.

Sure enough, when he wanted to pour the fifth glass of wine, Sheng Yin held his hand and said, "Young Master Su, let's stop here."

Su Rui's body froze, as if he had heard the announcement of death.

"This slightly tipsy atmosphere is just right~"

Sheng Yin's breath was as sweet as orchid, and her arms climbed up Su Rui's shoulders like a snake.

Su Rui felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and really wanted to dig a hole and escape.

Just as Sheng Yin was about to strip him naked, the maid's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Princess, there's something strange in the storeroom!"
