Chapter 102, First Release of Banxia Novel
The bathroom light stayed on for a long time.
When Xie Chen came out, he was holding the kitten that had turned back into a kitten in his arms, and his face was full of undisguised joy.
"Meow."
The little kitten curled itself into a ball and rolled around in Xie Chen's arms, whimpering.
If it could change color, Xie Chen guessed that the current white kitten would definitely turn into a pink kitten.
“Lili”.
Xie Chen, who had just been maintaining a tight rein on his reason, said with lingering enthusiasm, "I agree to your request to continue showering with me in the future."
Bai Li buried her head and meowed sullenly.
I changed my mind.
Xie Chen's smile deepened: "That won't do. Lili has to be a cat that keeps its word."
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li just wants to be a cat who regrets its actions.
He had never taken human form in his previous eighteen years, so many things about adolescence were unfamiliar to him.
Just now in the bathtub, he finally had the kind of reaction that comes with age, even though he was still a bit dazed.
He was initially a little scared.
With the gentleman around, it doesn't seem so scary.
In the end, the usually gentle gentleman even made him do some things he had never done before.
Bai Li couldn't hold on for long and, exhausted, turned back into a cat.
Xie Chen dried the wet kitten's fur, then dried his own hair and lay down on the bed with it.
I spent quite a bit of time on the rooftop, and then dawdled until now after coming back.
Xie Chen thought about the birthday banquet during the day and was worried that he wouldn't be energetic then, so he hugged the kitten tightly and coaxed it to sleep.
The kitten, which had almost changed color, nestled in Xie Chen's arms, still not very sleepy.
He raised his paws and approached Xie Chen.
"Meow."
Sir, please take a sniff.
Xie Chen lowered his head, pinched his paw, and smelled it as he had instructed.
After smelling it, Xie Chen asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that he didn't react, Bai Li sniffed her little paws, then made a face like a cat and said, "Sir, I think there's a strange smell."
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen looked at him as he continued to sniff the little paws, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"cough."
He clenched the little paw in his hand, trying to cover it up, and said, "Lili, it doesn't taste like anything."
It's getting late.
He changed the subject, coaxing the cat, "We should go to sleep."
The easily fooled kitten stopped worrying about the taste after its paws were confiscated.
He obediently closed his eyes, and before long, he was snoring away. Even as he slept, Xie Chen was still looking down at him.
So many years...
A single, abstinent older man has finally gained some indescribable new experiences.
Although this experience was far from satisfying the deeper desires in his heart.
But even a small taste is quite nice.
One night passed.
The next day, Xie Chen woke up much earlier than the kitten.
He has a lot to do during the day, so he can't keep delaying.
"Meow."
When he moved, the little kitten in his arms stirred, but it was still drowsy and hadn't opened its eyes.
Xie Chen patted his back gently and coaxed him softly, "Sleep a little longer."
They went to bed late last night, and Xie Chen didn't want him to get up too early.
The little kitten was sleepy and fell asleep again under Xie Chen's gentle pats.
Xie Chen only gave the address to the Bai family brothers now.
Before breakfast was over, Tan Yi, Bai Liu, and Bai Si all came looking for them in a menacing manner.
The eldest son of the Bai family is also coming, but he's not in a hurry.
"Where's Lili?" Tan Yi asked with a sour face and displeasure.
"In the room."
After Xie Chen finished speaking, seeing that they were about to go upstairs to look for the cat, he added slowly, "Lili is still sleeping. If you go over there now, you'll only wake him up."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yi and Bai Liu both stopped in their tracks.
Only Bai Si lazily yawned and said casually, "Perfect, I'm sleepy too. I'll go with Lili to take a nap."
"Stop right there."
Xie Chen and Tan Yibai Liu called out to him in unison.
Are you kidding me? They know exactly what kind of person Bai Si is.
If I asked him to sleep with Lili, he probably wouldn't get to sleep for more than a few minutes before he had to snatch Lili away and hide her.
"Fourth Brother."
Bai Liu pulled Bai Si to the sofa and shoved a cushion into his hand: "If you're sleepy, take a nap here."
Don't cause them any trouble.
In the living room.
Xie Chen remained calm when facing the remaining two Bai brothers.
Would you like breakfast?
He pointed to the dining table: "The breakfast here is good. You came in such a hurry, aren't you hungry?"
Tan Yi: "..."
Tan Yi's stomach rumbled twice.
It's quite fitting for the occasion.
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Xiaoliu looked at his third brother with a complicated expression.
They came here very seriously, to condemn Xie Chen's outrageous behavior of abducting Lili, but the third and fourth brothers were all more disappointing than the last.
“Lili likes lively atmospheres, so I’m going to throw him a birthday party.”
Xie Chen said to himself, "The location is right next door. There are a lot of things to prepare for the birthday party. Your arrival is just in time to help out."
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why should we help you?"
"Because this is Lili's birthday party."
Bai Liu choked.
He really couldn't refute this reason.
After recruiting the men, Xie Chen didn't stand on ceremony and actually assigned them work.
The number of people who came this time was neither too many nor too few.
Some of them were people Bai Li was quite familiar with, such as Zhou Zhi, and others were business partners with whom Xie Chen had a good relationship.
Taking this opportunity, Xie Chen officially announced his relationship with Bai Li.
The Bai family's older brothers, especially when it comes to doing things for their beloved younger brother, are all incredibly dedicated and hardworking.
It's almost noon.
The area next door for entertaining guests is all ready.
The snow-white kitten was being held by Uncle Xie, who seemed eager to feed it.
Bai Li buried herself in her rice.
The way Uncle Xie looked at him made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Meow."
Uncle Xie, what's wrong?
The little kitten couldn't help but raise its head and ask Uncle Xie a question.
Uncle Xie's gaze seemed to be subtly observing him, and when he saw him ask, he casually inquired, "Lili, are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Li shook her head: "I don't feel uncomfortable."
He slept soundly and felt perfectly fine.
Uncle Xie was somewhat confused by this answer. He then asked, "You and your husband, when you went to sleep last night, were you sleeping like a cat?"
"Meow."
That's right.
The little kitten answered Uncle Xie's questions honestly.
After hearing this, Uncle Xie sighed.
well.
Sir, you really need to hurry up, while you still can...
Xie Chen had no idea what Xie Bo was thinking. If he did, he would probably change his expression.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Li returned to her bedroom, transformed, and got dressed.
When he was with Xie Chen, he basically never did anything himself, but that doesn't mean he couldn't.
Xie Chen had prepared all the clothes in matching sets, which were then hung in the closet.
Bai Li only needs to take it and wear it.
A moment later.
After getting dressed, Bai Li followed Uncle Xie to the next door to find the teacher and her brother.
“Lili”.
Yu Yin also came over. He was eating melon seeds and watching the Bai brothers busy themselves. When he saw Bai Li coming over, he waved and beckoned him over.
"Want some?"
Yu Yin even gave him a handful of sunflower seeds.
Bai Li glanced at the melon seeds: "I'm not eating them."
He doesn't like peeling sunflower seeds; his teacher used to peel them for him when he ate them.
The gentleman is busy right now and can't peel the sunflower seeds for me.
Yu Yin wasn't bothered by the rejection. He tossed the melon seeds back into the plate and pulled Bai Li to find a place to sit down.
"We'll just watch them do it."
It's been a while since I last saw Yu Yin, and she looks much better than before.
He also brought Bai Li a birthday gift, and the two chatted about their birthdays.
Bai Li opened the gift and found it was a property ownership certificate for a shop.
"Here you go. Xiao Liu said you opened a cat café and wanted to take care of those stray cats. I've renovated this shop into a cat café, but there aren't any cats inside yet."
"Just put the cat in there later, and that'll be fine."
Bai Li looked at the shop and was so shocked she almost dropped her hand.
"Sister-in-law."
Bai Li pushed the gift back: "This is very expensive, I can't accept it."
He recently searched for information about shops in preparation for opening a cat cafe.
Shops, especially those in good locations, are extremely expensive!
His sister-in-law offered him a shop as a gift; he dared not accept such an expensive present.
Yu Yin ignored his refusal. He leaned back on the sofa, his gaze seemingly still fixed on Bai Lin not far away, and his tone of voice was nonchalant.
"Take it, it's not an expensive gift."
Yu Yin said, "I own quite a few properties and shops, and they're just sitting there. I might as well give you one, so I don't forget I even have that shop one day."
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li stared blankly at Yu Yin.
He finally realized, belatedly, that his sister-in-law seemed to be very wealthy, perhaps even wealthier than his older brother.
Yu Yin turned around and saw his expression. Amused, she reached out and pinched his cheek.
"You're so cute."
Yu Yin pinched the soft flesh of his cheek, feeling so good that she didn't want to let go: "No wonder your brother likes you."
Bai Li felt embarrassed by the praise.
He wanted to return the gift, but Yu Yin refused to accept it.
After Yu Yin's repeated reassurances, Bai Li finally withstood the pressure and accepted the shop.
"Hey, Lili, don't you think your older brother is kind of silly?"
Yu Yin nudged Bai Li and started chatting with him.
Bai Li answered seriously, "Big brother is not stupid, big brother is very smart."
In Bai Li's eyes, her older brother is incredibly powerful.
Yu Yin glanced at Bai Lin not far away and still thought he was incredibly stupid.
The two of them nestled on the sofa, waiting for a while until everything was ready. Bai Li stood up, ran up to Xie Chen, blinked, and asked, "Sir, will there be many guests later? Are they all here to celebrate my birthday?"
"right."
Xie Chen said, "A lot of people will come; they're all here to celebrate your birthday."
Bai Li was overjoyed.
He had never had such a lively birthday before!
"Then what should I do?"
Bai Li was a little nervous: "The guests are here, how should I talk to them?"
"Just say hello normally."
There are also reporters here today.
Xie Chen patted Bai Li's head, not putting too much pressure on him, just telling him to relax.
Looking at the two of them, Tan Yi felt that something was off about their behavior.
"Lili, what's your relationship with Xie Chen—"
Just as Tan Yi was about to ask the question, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.
The first guest has arrived.
Xie Chen led Bai Li over to meet the guest, but the questions that hadn't been asked were left unanswered.
He frowned, deciding he had to find an opportunity to ask him today.
