Chapter 134, First Release of Banxia Novel
"Sir, we're not leaving."
Lying in bed, Bai Li reached out and grabbed Xie Chen's large hand, rubbing her face against his palm.
Xie Chen originally wanted to pour him a glass of water, but seeing this, he had no choice but to give up.
"I'm not leaving."
He bent down, kissed the kitten's soft cheek, and sat by the bed, patiently keeping him company.
Bai Si's journey was not smooth. He was driving carefully, going straight and obeying traffic rules, when a tricycle suddenly crashed into him from the right.
On the tricycle, an old man was carrying an old woman.
Bai Si braked immediately, but the old woman still fell off the tricycle.
"Young man, why don't you watch where you're going?!"
The old woman lay on the ground, groaning in pain, while the old man pounded on Bai Si's car window, angrily accusing him.
Bai Si: "???"
That's outrageous.
Bai Si, who had been unjustly extorted, was so angry that his forehead was buzzing. He looked at the unreasonable old man and woman.
But he couldn't argue with those two. Among humans, the elderly, as they get older, have osteoporosis and many other ailments.
Especially since he understands medicine, he knows that elderly people like this shouldn't be too emotional.
"Stop arguing, how much do you want? I'll pay you."
Bai Si was in a hurry to get her precious younger brother to see a doctor and didn't want to waste time here.
However, the old man insisted that he go to a big hospital for a check-up before making any decisions.
"I know medicine; I can take a look at you."
"No, I need to go see a doctor."
Unable to break free from the entanglement, Bai Si simply called the police.
He figured he wouldn't be able to get there anytime soon, so he could only call Xie Chen on his phone.
"The symptoms you just described should be a cold. Find some medicine for him to take. I've run into some trouble here and won't be able to get here until later."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen asked, "What trouble? Do you need help?"
"unnecessary?."
Bai Si was being pulled around by the old man again. He suppressed his anger and said, "I'll hang up now and come to your place after I'm done dealing with this."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Si looked at the old man who had come to pull him away: "You don't need to rush, the police will be here soon. You violated traffic rules, let the police determine the responsibility when they arrive."
Bai Si couldn't make it in time, so Xie Chen naturally couldn't wait for him any longer.
"Lili, be good, I'll go get your medicine."
Xie Chen softened his voice, coaxing the drowsy kitten. Bai Li still didn't want him to leave, but Xie Chen needed to get the medicine, and he couldn't indulge him any longer.
"I'll be right there."
Xie Chen pried open the kitten's paws, got up to get the first-aid kit and warm water.
Although Xie Chen returned quickly, by the time he entered the room, Bai Li had already sat up in bed, her eyes red as she waited for him.
The first-aid kit and water were placed by the bedside. Xie Chen looked at the kitten with red eyes and felt extremely sorry for it.
"Okay, I won't leave. After you finish your medicine, I'll sleep with you."
Xie Chen showed no impatience whatsoever with the unusually clingy kitten.
Bai Li was not resistant to taking medicine; he had gotten used to taking medicine when he was on the mountain.
His parents often brewed herbal medicine for him to drink, but the medicine was very bitter.
Even when they were young kittens, they would throw tantrums and refuse to drink the bitter herbs.
But one time, after he angrily knocked over the herbs and ran out, he heard his mother crying when he returned home that night and passed by his parents' room.
The mother leaned against the father, her sobs suppressed.
She said, "It's all my fault. I must have not taken good care of my body before giving birth to Lili, which is why Lili had a difficult childbirth and why his body is in such poor condition."
"Bai Chen, Lili still hasn't grown up. I heard the other little monsters are talking about her behind her back..."
"I'm so scared, Bai Chen, I'm afraid my Lili won't be able to grow up properly."
The mother's cries and the father's sobs pierced the heart of the little kitten eavesdropping at the door like needles.
Since then, he has never refused to take his medicine out of spite again.
After feeding her the medicine, Bai Li was held in Xie Chen's arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.
He woke up and had a dream, a dream that lasted a very long time.
In the dream, he wasn't a cat; he seemed to have become a strange thing, which someone kept in their arms.
That person's chest was as warm as the gentleman's.
The dream was too complicated, but what Bai Li remembered most clearly was that he saw light just before he woke up.
White light enveloped him, just like the light he encountered in the back mountain when he was a child.
"Meow."
While sleeping, the kitten, which had unknowingly reverted to its original form, exposed its belly, raised its paws, and let out a soft meow.
Xie Chen, who was working on his laptop next to him, immediately put down his laptop when he heard the meow.
"Lili?"
Xie Chen leaned closer to the kitten and, seeing that it hadn't opened its eyes yet, patted its chubby little body: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
The kitten rolled over, tucked its paws in, and looked drowsy, as if it were about to wake up.
Xie Chen waited a few more minutes before the kitten slowly opened its eyes.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
The kitten, having had a good sleep, shook its head and meowed.
I'm not going to sleep.
"Does your head still hurt?"
"It hurts just a little bit."
Just to be on the safe side, Xie Chen had the kitten transform into human form and then took its temperature again.
This time, the body temperature is normal.
Not long after taking her temperature, Bai Si rushed over, his eyes showing exhaustion: "How is Lili?"
When Bai Li saw her fourth brother, she hurriedly went to greet him.
"Fourth Brother."
"Sweetie, I'm late," Bai Si said. She reached out and touched his forehead: "It's okay, not too hot."
"I just checked your temperature, and it's back to normal," Xie Chen said to Bai Si as he walked over from behind.
"That's good."
Bai Si breathed a sigh of relief: "I was on the way and got harassed by someone. I went to the police station, which took up some time."
In the accident on the road, the responsibility was determined: the other party was fully responsible, and he bore no responsibility whatsoever.
Since Bai Li had already taken cold medicine and taken a nap, Bai Si did not notice anything unusual when he examined him.
He coaxed Bai Li to go back to rest, then called Xie Chen over and had a private talk with him.
"I'll bring you some medicine tomorrow. Come on over."
Bai Si informed him, "It's medicine to help Lili recover. After he came down the mountain, he stayed with you for a while and didn't have a relapse. I should thank you for that."
"But his health has been poor since childhood, so he still needs those tonics."
"OK."
Xie Chen did not object to his words: "Once you send the medicine over, I will make him drink it every day."
Bai Si looked at him and added, "Lili's medicine is all Chinese medicine, and it takes a lot of time to brew it every day."
"I'm willing to go to that trouble," Xie Chenying said firmly.
Bai Si stared at him for a few seconds, snorted, and said nothing more.
The next day.
Bai Si indeed delivered the medicine.
Xie Chen carefully put the medicine away and studied it with Uncle Xie for a while.
Uncle Xie knew that Lili had been drinking since she was a child, and had been drinking for many years, and he sighed.
"Chinese medicine tastes bitter, no wonder Lili usually likes to eat sweets, she must be afraid of bitterness."
After the New Year, Xie Chen didn't rush to the company; instead, he stayed home with his listless little kitten.
The kitten lay listlessly on the sofa, smelling the medicine in the air, and seemed to want to pack its bags and run away.
These past two days, he made a discovery that made the cat very happy, but also a problem that made the cat very withdrawn.
To his delight, he felt he had become a little more capable.
Since releasing the cat song and gaining widespread recognition, his efficiency in filming black fog has increased significantly.
It's like some kind of feedback; he gave others a little happiness.
Others reciprocated by giving him some gifts.
These are all happy discoveries, while the troubles are—
"Lili, it's time to take your medicine."
Xie Chen walked over carrying the medicine in one hand and a box of candied fruit and candy in the other.
Bai Li covered her head with her paws, pretending not to hear or see.
Xie Chen placed the medicine bowl on the coffee table and scooped the kitten over.
"I've tasted it, and the temperature is just right now." Xie Chen kissed the kitten's head. "Let's hold on a little longer and finish the medicine in one go, okay?"
Bai Li couldn't say it was bad either.
He listlessly transformed into human form, nestled in Xie Chen's arms, wrapped in a blanket from the sofa, and gulped down a bowl of medicine.
After Xie Shen finished drinking, he quickly fed him a sweet candied fruit.
After feeding him a few candied fruits, Xie Chen, fearing they might still taste bitter, lifted his chin and pressed his cool lips against his.
Their breaths mingled, and the air seemed to rise several degrees.
Uncle Xie, who was about to go downstairs, saw this scene and quickly pulled his foot back.
Ouch.
This is still broad daylight.
Is her husband really that unable to control himself? It seems the supplements he's been secretly putting in her food lately are having some effect.
Xie Bo thought to himself with satisfaction, "Right now it's just kissing. Once I add more tonics, I guess the master will be able to unlock some other things."
Bai Li was bored at home and wanted to go find Jin Jin, but Jin Jin hadn't been around for a while.
"Sir, I'd like to go to that library."
Bai Li thought back to the university library he had visited with Jin Jin last time, and he felt a little nostalgic: "The library had so many books, I loved it there."
Seeing that he had been staying at home a lot lately and was indeed feeling bored, Xie Chen didn't stop him anymore and instead gave him some clothes.
"I'll go with you."
"Um!"
The weather was still chilly even though it was just after the New Year. Xie Chen didn't remove any clothes for Bai Li, afraid he would get cold.
Bai Li was wearing thermal underwear, a thick sweater, and a cotton-padded jacket on top, and thermal underwear, thick pants on the bottom. When she went out, she also wore gloves and a scarf.
His face was completely covered by a scarf, with only half of it showing: "Sir, I feel like a fat panda, unable to move at all."
"No."
Xie Chen lied through his teeth: "I think it looks especially good this way."
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li was displeased: "You're lying to the cat."
He's wrapped up so tightly, how could he possibly look good?
Xie Chen was incredibly good at coaxing cats; after changing the subject a few times, he managed to steer the cat's attention away from the topic.
The two of them got into the car and soon arrived at the university library.
By this time, quite a few students had already arrived at the library.
Xie Chen took his hand and led him into the library, then took off his scarf.
"Wow."
"Is this a junior? How come our school has such a handsome boy?"
Two girls not far from them, after seeing Bai Li's face clearly, brightened up and whispered to each other.
One of the girls sensed something was wrong.
"Hmm, wait a minute."
The girl secretly observed Bai Li, searching her mind for something.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.
"Holy crap, I recognize him!"
After saying this, the girl quickly looked at the person next to Bai Li.
