Chapter 99, First Release of Banxia Novel
Just as the kitten was immersed in a sorrow that was suffocating it, a large hand suddenly pulled back the blanket, saving the kitten's life in time.
“Lili”.
Xie Chen, who had just come out of the study, frowned as he looked at the kitten that had huddled itself under the covers.
He sat down and scooped the kitten into his arms: "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of getting bored?"
Bai Li kept her head down and wouldn't look at him.
"Meow."
I'm sleeping.
Xie Chen didn't believe him. Kittens don't lie; when they lie, they can't help but curl their paws.
He can see right through it.
"Good boy, look up."
Xie Chen noticed that he was in a low mood, so he wanted to find out why.
Bai Li did not look up.
Xie Chen patiently tried to coax the kitten, but tonight the little one was unexpectedly difficult to soothe.
Xie Chen's words were clearly going in one ear and out the other.
When it was time to bathe the kitten, Xie Chen put some yellow ducks that could float in the water. The kitten, who used to love to paw at them, didn't move at all this time.
Xie Chen carefully reviewed all of today's itinerary, but still couldn't figure out which part went wrong.
Night falls.
The room was dimly lit. The round little kitten rolled over, its rear end facing Xie Chen. The posture looked very withdrawn.
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen was completely confused.
He had no dating experience, nor any experience with ambiguous relationships. This little kitten in his arms was the only exception in his life that he cherished dearly.
The kitten is now visibly upset, and Xie Chen feels helpless about it.
He pressed his temples, intending to ask the eldest brother of the Bai family for help outside the venue tomorrow.
Of Bai Li's brothers, only the eldest son is somewhat reliable.
"Lili, goodnight."
Xie Chen pulled the kitten back over, kissed its head, and whispered goodnight.
After he closed his eyes, Bai Li reached out a paw and touched the kitten that had been kissed.
He was even more upset.
The next day.
The kitten went to work at the seafood restaurant again, and Xie Chen finished his weekend and went to the company.
The bodyguards he arranged diligently followed Bai Li and were responsible for her safety.
Xie Chen called Bai Lin on his way to the company.
"Lunch is on me."
Xie Chen invited Bai Lin, "I'd like to ask you about Bai Li."
When asked about his beloved younger brother, Bai Lin readily agreed to the invitation, but he added that he would bring Yu Yin along.
I don't know if the eldest son of the Bai family's pursuit of his wife is over yet, but judging from how he now brings people with him when he goes out to eat, it's probably progressing well.
Noon.
Xie Chen checked the time and arrived at the reserved private room twenty minutes early.
Bai Lin arrived right on time with Yu Yin, and greeted him upon seeing him.
Yu Yin wasn't very familiar with Xie Chen, so her attitude towards him was polite but distant.
After the three of them sat down, Bai Lin, worried about his younger brother, asked him, "What's wrong with Lili?"
Xie Chen frowned, and his tone became somewhat off when he mentioned Lili's situation.
"I just didn't know what was wrong with him, that's why I came to find you."
Xie Chen reported to Bai Lin everything about the kitten's unusual behavior last night and their entire day's itinerary, asking Bai Lin to analyze it.
Bai Lin listened and then fell silent for a moment.
"Xie Chen, I don't see anything wrong with what you're saying."
"Lili doesn't tend to get emotional for no reason."
After Bai Lin finished speaking, seeing that Xie Chen's expression was not good, he added another sentence.
"Don't worry too much. Maybe Lili is just in a bad mood all of a sudden. I'll ask him about it. Just wait and see if he gets better."
Since Bai Lin had already said that, Xie Chen couldn't get any useful information from him at all.
"never mind."
Xie Chen took a sip of water: "I'll observe for a while longer."
The little kitten that Mr. and his older brother were discussing is currently sitting on the main road outside, its front paws supporting its face.
"Big brother."
Meimei, Dian Dian, and Da Hui were all eating canned food behind Bai Li.
Seeing that Bai Li was not happy, Mei Mei took the initiative to come over and share her brother's worries.
Why aren't you happy?
Bai Li said with a worried look, "Meimei, my parents, grandparents, and other family members might not like you, sir?"
His plan was to help his brothers find the treasure on Monster Mountain, and then allow everyone on Monster Mountain to descend the mountain freely.
He also wants to bring his husband to show his parents.
Now that the note has been exposed, all his plans have been abruptly cut short.
Meimei tilted her head, confused: "Why don't they like your husband?"
"have no idea."
Bai Li looked bewildered: "They made me a jerk, sir?"
Meimei: "..."
Meimei was shocked.
Although he found the man a little scary, he knew that the man was very kind to his older brother, and his older brother liked him very much. The man was also his older brother's fiancé; logically, they should be getting married!
The cats looked at each other in silence, filled with endless sorrow.
On the other side.
Xie Chen came out of the private room, his thoughts even more chaotic than when he arrived.
Bai Lin didn't explain to him the reason for Lili's unusual behavior, but he did give him a hint.
“Lili has been down the mountain for a long time. Now that he can transform into human form, the elders on the mountain must hope that he can go back.”
Brother Bai meant for Lili to go back and check on things, but whether she would come down the mountain after returning...
He didn't mention that.
Xie Chen got into the car, rubbing his temples, feeling that one problem hadn't been solved before another one came along.
For several days in a row.
The kitten, who is usually lively and active at home, has visibly become listless.
Uncle Xie also noticed the problem.
"gentlemen?."
Uncle Xie pulled Xie Chen aside and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Lili lately? She doesn't seem very happy."
Xie Chen didn't know the reason.
The kitten is very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone.
"I can't get an answer from them."
A complex emotion flickered in Xie Chen's eyes. He tried his best to calm himself down and planned, "His birthday is in a few days. I plan to make it a lively celebration to make him happy. He likes a lively atmosphere."
"OK."
Xie Chen not only cares about the kitten's birthday, but Uncle Xie also remembers it well.
He glanced back at the kitten sitting on the sofa in a daze and secretly decided that he needed to prepare more birthday gifts to make Lili happy.
Time passed day by day.
In the midst of his suppressed anxiety, Xie Chen, who hadn't dreamed in a long time, finally dreamed again the dream he had been waiting for.
This time.
He still looks like a child.
His parents looked at him, their brows furrowed with undisguised worry.
He was frequently ill during that period, and the illnesses were inexplicable, as if he were possessed.
Since it's not some kind of illness that you can easily diagnose, doctors are useless.
Just when his parents were about to despair, the man known as the Divine Calculator reappeared before him.
"His mortal body could not suppress his destiny."
The fortune teller was dressed in tattered clothes, and when he opened his mouth, he rambled on in his usual incoherent way.
"There is only one way to ensure his survival."
"Come with me to get married. Only that child can save you."
At that time, Xie Chen, whose body was in terrible distress, was entrusted by his parents to the fortune teller, who was going to save his life.
They went to Monster Mountain.
Coincidentally, there was also a sickly little kitten on Monster Mountain.
The kitten is weak; it has a disease it had since birth.
Xie Chen lived at the foot of the mountain with the Divine Calculator, not directly with those monster cats.
"Xie Chen, you'll have a wife soon."
The fortune teller patted his head and said with a smile, "Kids your age are still crying and doing their homework, but you already have a wife. How about that? Exciting, isn't it? Happy?"
Xiao Xie Chen: "..."
To be honest, Xiao Xie felt it wasn't exciting or enjoyable.
He had absolutely no interest in getting married.
If his body hadn't been so exhausted, Xie Chen would have even wanted to go home and read more new pages of books.
The scenery at Monster Mountain is beautiful.
Xiao Xie saw the kitten here. The kitten was tiny, with wet eyes, looking innocent and naive.
The fortune teller said that the kitten would one day take human form and marry him.
Xiao Xie stared intently at the kitten, suddenly realizing that reading wasn't so interesting after all.
"Meow."
The snow-white kitten meowed softly at him.
Xiao Xie Chen froze, watching the kitten walk towards him and tentatively poke his trouser leg with its paw.
"Oh."
The fortune teller saw this and asked with a smile, "Does Lili like this young man?"
"Meow."
He's good-looking.
The kitten tilted its head back, expressing its acceptance of the handsome older brother.
Xiao Xie squatted down and carefully picked up the kitten.
The kitten was very affectionate towards him.
"Haha, I knew they would hit it off."
The fortune teller laughed gleefully: "So, how about it? This childhood betrothal can be arranged now, right?"
The kitten's parent looked him up and down. Finally, with a sour face, said, "Fine, but if he dares to treat Lili badly in the future, this marriage is off."
"Don't worry, they are a match made in heaven. Their marriage is definitely a perfect match."
With the consent of the fortune teller and the elders of the Bai family, the marriage between the children was officially arranged.
After the betrothal was arranged, Xiao Xie Chen still lived at the foot of the mountain, but he would come up every day to play with the kitten.
He knew that their arranged marriages were driven by ulterior motives.
The kitten Lili's health was even worse, and the marriage to him was also due to the deception of the fortune teller.
No, it's not entirely a hoax either.
After they got together, Xiao Xie Chen's physical discomfort did indeed lessen a lot. And the Divine Calculator said that Monster Mountain was blessed with abundant spiritual energy, and now that the two of them were together, it was the best time for them to complement each other and recuperate.
"I have something else."
Although the fortune teller charges a high appearance fee, his skills are genuine.
No sooner had he asked Xie's parents for a high price than he had spent a fortune to provide a treasure for Xiao Xie Chen and the kitten.
"You two will stay here for a few days, and then come out..."
The Divine Calculator glanced at the kitten and lowered his voice: "The kitten might transform into human form."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xie hugged the kitten tightly, his still-childish face beaming with excitement.
"Lili can transform into human form?"
"It should be possible."
The strategist Gao said inscrutably, "But there are still some variables, I can't say for sure."
As the fortune teller had predicted, Xiao Xie Chen and the kitten were both sent to the designated location and stayed there for three days and three nights.
"Meow."
The scene of three days and three nights hadn't even appeared in his dream when the little kitten kicked him awake with a paw.
Xie Chen opened his eyes and looked at the dazed kitten, his emotions still surging.
