The autumn wind is blowing and the weather is getting colder.
Before they knew it, Li Nian and Li Sisi had moved into their new home for more than a month.
It hardly rains in the northwest in autumn; it is either sunny or windy.
It was windy a few days ago, and Li Nian stayed in the house all day writing storybooks.
It's not that she wants to make a lot of money, but the main reason is that there are not as many varieties of Northwestern vernacular novels as those in the capital. She just read them casually when she has nothing to do, and has almost finished reading them all.
Since there was nothing to read, she had to write for herself and sell them in the study to earn some pocket money.
The sky finally cleared up today, and the golden sunlight made the whole yard warm.
Because the back room at the entrance of the house had been vacant for a long time, Li Sisi took Pei Yanli to the market some time ago and bought a female slave to take care of the housework, and let her sleep in the back room at night.
Xiaoying is becoming more and more intelligent and capable, considerate and attentive. With the two of them taking care of the household chores, Li Nian suddenly has some free time.
She lay lazily on her back in the spacious rattan chair, with a book covering her face, soaking in the sunshine comfortably.
"Meow, meow~~"
A soft cat meow sounded, and Li Nian raised her hand in surprise to take the book off her face, sat up, and saw Shen Qianye walking over with a pure white kitten in his arms.
She quickly stood up in surprise: "Brother Qianye, where did you get this kitten?"
Shen Qianye never liked wearing long gowns, but rather tight-fitting clothes. The dark tight-fitting clothes did not have any superfluous decorations, but when worn on him, it did not look plain at all, but instead gave him a sense of unrestrained youth.
He was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The cat in his arms looked like a newborn baby.
He walked towards Li Nian with a bright smile against the light, and said in a clear voice: "Last time I saw you were scared by a mouse, and every household in the city is bound to have mice, so I thought of finding you a kitten to raise."
"It just so happened that my friend's cat gave birth, and Bai Ying said that girls like pure white kittens, so I picked this one for you."
Li Nian put down the book in her hand, walked quickly to Shen Qianye, and carefully reached out to gently stroke the kitten in his arms. The kitten meowed and rubbed its soft head against her palm.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qianye thought that she must like kittens very much, and his heart was also happy.
“Chen Qianye, I want to hug it, can I?”
She tilted her face slightly upwards, her fair face still showing a blush from the sun, her eyes were filled with surprise and joy, and her voice was soft.
Who can refuse such a request? At least Shen Qianye can’t.
"Of course, it was originally given to you."
So he carefully put the cat in his arms into Li Nian's arms.
The autumn wind blew, and a fallen leaf fluttered down onto Li Nian's chest.
Shen Qianye suddenly realized that the distance between them was too close, and his breath was filled with her sweet scent.
I can’t describe what the fragrance is, but it makes my heart beat faster and faster.
Li Nian stepped back holding the kitten, tilted her head back, and whispered with her eyes slightly curved, "It's so cute, I like it very much, thank you."
Shen Qianye's face was a little hot, and his dark eyes were filled with joy: "As long as you like it, you don't have to worry about mice coming with it in the future."
Li Nian looked up at him, her usually cold eyes now filled with spring water. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to remember that I'm afraid of mice and specially sent a cat. You're so thoughtful."
Shen Qianye blushed at her straightforward praise. It was clearly autumn, but his body felt like it was in the hot summer.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "What's the big deal? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Li Nian stroked the kitten with her slender white fingers and blinked as she thought, "What should I name it..."
Shen Qianye said: "Let's call him Xiaobai, it's appropriate and easy to remember."
Li Nian thought of Xiao Yunyu's secret guards, one of whom was named Xiaobai, and said softly, "I think calling her Baibai sounds better."
Baibai, which sounds like "bye bye", foreshadows that she and Sisi will live a dull life like this, and say goodbye forever to the plot of the original book, the male and female protagonists, and all the mess in the capital.
“Well, Baibai sounds better.” Shen Qianye’s mouth reacted before his brain.
Yu Niang looked at the couple with some regret in her eyes and thought that if Nian Nian was not pregnant, these two would have been a perfect match.
She looked at the beauty and liveliness of Li Nian's eyebrows and eyes, which were like flowers blooming in the warm spring, with infinite charm, but her eyes seemed to contain desolate, indifferent and lonely feeling.
So gorgeous and desolate.
Suddenly, she felt that it was perfectly normal for a carefree and unrestrained young man like Shen Qianye to be fascinated by her.
While he was daydreaming, Li Nian had already picked up the kitten and was working with Shen Qianye to find something suitable to build a cat bed for it.
Shen Qianye said casually: "I have loved small animals since I was a child, and I am good at building cat houses."
Li Nian handed the kitten to Xiaoying beside her and turned to look at him.
Shen Qianye's throat tightened when she looked at him, and he felt embarrassed that his little thoughts were seen through.
But she suddenly smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Qianye to help Baibai build a solid and stable nest!"
Shen Qianye felt that he didn't think much when he was around her, and his heart was always affected by her every frown and smile.
He was clearly not an introverted person, and he had many friends and knew many women of similar age. However, none of them were like Nian Nian, who caught his eye in the crowd at first sight and became more and more irresistible the more they spent time together.
Meeting her clear eyes, Shen Qianye couldn’t help but smile shyly: “Don’t bother.”
He looked down at the cat and said, "Baibai, you must protect Nian Nian well in the future."
Shen Qianye stayed at Li Nian's house until the sun set before reluctantly returning home.
Before leaving, he looked at the petite figure and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Niannian, can I come to see Baibai often in the future?"
"sure."
————
When Shen Qianye returned home from outside, there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his already handsome features looked even more vigorous and energetic. Anyone could see that he was in a very good mood.
"What good news is this?" Aunt Shen joked with a smile, "Could it be that you met your sweetheart?"
An unintentional word hit the heart directly, and Shen Qianye blushed in front of his mother for a rare time.
Seeing his reaction, Aunt Shen was even happier and asked quickly, "Who is this girl? Do I know her?"
Shen Qianye felt uncomfortable after being told that, and turned around to see Shen Baiying walked in aggressively and asked, “Second brother, where is the cat?”
Aunt Shen asked in confusion, "What cat?"
Shen Baiying's face was full of unhappiness: "Brother Wang's family gave birth to a litter of kittens some time ago. I fell in love with the pure white kitten at first sight. I originally thought that I would take the kitten home to raise it when it grew up a little. But when I went there today, Brother Wang said that the cat was taken away by my second brother!"
She glared at Shen Qianye angrily: “Second brother, where did you take my cat?”
