What are you doing?
Bai Lin called out from behind, his voice clearly restrained.
If it were Bai Xiaoliu instead, he would probably punch Xie Chen from behind.
Xie Chen turned around, letting Bai Lin see Bai Li, who was still dazed: "Li Li is calling me, but he's probably having a nightmare and can't hear me talking to him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lin's tense expression relaxed a little.
fine.
Xie Chen was getting closer to Lili in response, but he didn't actually do anything to her.
"Should we call the doctor over?"
Bai Lin was somewhat worried about her younger brother's condition.
Xie Chen held Bai Li's hand tightly and replied, "I've already spoken to the doctor, and he said it's normal."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lin pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Bai Li.
Bai Li's face was still pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and she occasionally uttered a few muttered words.
Bai Lin frowned as she looked at her, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Xie Chen, Lili's health is not good, it has been bad since she was a child."
"He was born weak and had a difficult birth. One of his paws got stuck after it came out, and he waited for several hours until the paw was ice-cold before it was finally born."
“After he was born, he couldn’t move at all, and we all thought he wouldn’t survive… but he was incredibly lucky and he pulled through.”
“Over the years, our house has always smelled of medicine. He has taken medicine with every meal, three times a day.”
"He's doing better now, and he's been by your side without getting sick."
Bai Lin told him about his younger brother's situation, and he spoke casually, saying whatever came to mind.
Only after he finished speaking did he reveal his true intention.
"In short, raising Lili to this age has not been easy. Our whole family's greatest hope for him is that he lives a good life; nothing else matters."
"Xie Chen, I know what happened tonight isn't your fault, but I still hope that if you want to take care of him, you'll keep a closer eye on him."
otherwise.
Bai Lin will consider sending her younger brother back to the mountain.
Life on earth is rich and colorful, and more interesting than life on the mountain, but in terms of safety, life on the mountain is still better.
Under the watchful eyes of the elders, there is no possibility that the younger brother will get hurt.
"I will keep a close eye on him."
Xie Chen spoke in a low voice, his eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, it was my mistake this time."
Bai Lin patted his shoulder: "I'm not blaming you."
Xie Chen had already done his best to take care of his younger brother, and he wasn't blind. Bai Lin stayed in the ward for a long time without leaving.
No matter how good Xie Chen is to Lili, he's still an outsider. His precious younger brother is unconscious; how can the older brother not be by his side?
"Oh, right."
Bai Lin said to Xie Chen, "The ointment my fourth brother gave me is with me. I'll bring it to you when I have time."
"Yes, thank you."
"No need to thank me. Fourth brother should be back soon. If you run into him, you'd better avoid him. Our fourth brother is just like sixth brother, always wanting to take Lili for granted."
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
Just like Bai Liu?
That Bai Liu was already difficult to deal with, and now they want a copycat version?
Double the amount? Xie Chen felt pressured just thinking about Bai Xiaoliu.
"If you see our fourth son, try your best not to get into a conflict with him."
Bai Lin thought of the fourth brother's temperament, and even though he was the eldest brother, he had to remind Xie Chen.
Xie Chen nodded. Judging from Bai Lin's reaction, he knew that the fourth brother was probably not a easy problem to solve.
"Lili's? What are the hobbies of this fourth brother?" Xie Chen wanted to learn more about him.
"His hobby," Bai Lin thought for a moment and replied, "He likes to carry Lili to bed in his mouth."
“Back when we were in the mountains, if he wanted to keep Lili, he would carry her away, and none of us could find her. He would only take her out when it was time for Lili to eat or take her medicine.”
Xie Chen: "?"
Xie Chen narrowed his cold eyes slightly.
They carried Lili away and hid her.
Xie Chen could not tolerate this hobby.
After exposing his younger brother's shortcomings, Bai Lin changed the subject and chatted with him occasionally.
All night long.
Neither of them closed their eyes.
Bai Li was sweating profusely, not knowing what she was dreaming about.
Xie Chen was worried that he might be uncomfortable, so he took a hot towel and gently wiped him clean.
Bai Lin was squeezed to the side and couldn't get a chance to help at all.
By dawn, Bai Li's fever had subsided, and her complexion was no longer as pale as it had been the night before.
"I'm going to buy some breakfast. You stay here and watch over Lili."
After Bai Lin finished speaking, he walked out, but when he pushed open the door of the ward, breakfast had already been placed there.
Breakfast was still steaming hot; it must have been put there recently.
"Yinyin."
Bai Lin subconsciously called out the name. He picked up his breakfast, looked around, but didn't see Yu Yin.
After standing there for a moment, Bai Lin turned around and went into the ward.
"How could it be so fast?"
Xie Shen was wiping Bai Li's face when he saw him return and casually asked him a question.
"Someone else bought it."
Bai Lin placed breakfast on the table, his expression clearly somewhat absent-minded.
Xie Chen frowned: "Are other people's things safe? You stay here and watch over Lili, I'll go buy another one."
"Safety."
Bai Lin replied vaguely, "Yu Yin bought it?"
Xie Chen glanced at him, but didn't comment on Bai's eldest brother's feelings.
Not long after.
Bai Li finally moved her fingers, and then half-opened her eyes.
"gentlemen."
His voice was terribly hoarse; he just stared at the ceiling and called out "Xie Chen."
Xie Chen leaned down, bracing himself beside him, and looked down at him: "I'm here. How are you? Is there anything else that hurts?"
Bai Li felt unwell all over, and he pleaded pitifully, "I want some water."
"Okay, I'll go get you some water."
There was warm water in the ward. Xie Chen poured a glass, helped Bai Li sit up, and fed her little by little.
After finishing the water, Bai Li hugged Xie Chen tightly and wouldn't let go.
He only just realized what was happening, and the whole cat was still terrified.
Xie Chen patted his back reassuringly, coaxing him patiently like a child.
"cough."
It wasn't until Bai Lin, who had been ignored, coughed that her younger brother's attention was finally drawn.
"Big brother."
Bai Li looked at her older brother, her eyes reddening, and opened her arms, asking for a hug instead.
Bai Lin tenderly went over and hugged her younger brother, comforting him, "Sweetie, were you scared?"
"Um!"
Bai Li sniffed, regretting it terribly: "I wish I could swim."
That way, I wouldn't have almost drowned.
"I'll teach you when you're better."
The two brothers talked for a while, and Bai Li's emotions were visibly calmed down, which made Bai Lin breathe a sigh of relief.
He spent the morning in the ward and, seeing that his younger brother's condition was stable, said, "Lili, your older brother still has some things to take care of."
"If you miss your older brother, just give me a call. I'll come over as soon as I'm done with work. Okay?"
Bai Li nodded obediently.
Once Bai Lin left, only Xie Chen and Bai Li remained in the ward.
Bai Li reached out and hooked Xie Chen's finger, asking, "Sir, how is Duan Ningqi now?"
Xie Chen didn't want to hear that name at all.
Bai Li waited for a while, but didn't get a reply, which made her a little confused.
"gentlemen?"
He tilted his head back and asked again.
This time, Xie Chen did answer, but his tone seemed unpleasant.
"She was saved."
A huge weight lifted from Bai Li's heart. Thankfully, he hadn't been through that ordeal for nothing!
Is she in this hospital?
"Not here."
"oh."
Bai Li felt a little regretful; if it were in this hospital, he could have gone to see a doctor.
Bai Li wasn't entirely stupid; he knew that the master seemed to have a strange dislike for Duan Ningqi, so he remained silent for the time being.
"You should rest and recuperate in the hospital for the next couple of days."
Xie Chen changed the subject, patting Bai Li's head: "What do you want to eat? What do you want to eat? Just tell me."
Bai Li blinked, then followed up with a request.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital."
"no."
Xie Chen refused without even thinking. He sat down next to Bai Li and said, "I'll ask for leave from the seafood restaurant. You're not allowed to go anywhere for the next two days."
Bai Li was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital not because of his job at the seafood restaurant, but because he had more important things to do.
"Sir, I need to find Brother Black!"
Bai Li grabbed Xie Chen's hand and shook it, explaining, "It's that black-footed cat that's only a little bigger than me. He's my boss. We agreed to meet tonight."
Xie Chen did have an impression of that black-footed cat.
"You two, gather together. What are you going to do?"
"We need to help Blackie turn back into a human. The human he tamed, the one in the wheelchair, is about to die."
"Blackie said he wants to use this to bring good luck to that human."
What Bai Li said reminded Xie Chen of someone.
Yan Cen.
In Lili's words, the human tamed by the black-footed cat is Yan Cen.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li was still shaking him: "I definitely have to go, I've already made plans with Brother Hei."
Bai Li agreed to this, but it also involved Yan Cen.
Xie pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I need to go ask the doctor."
If he could truly help that black-footed cat transform into human form, and if that black-footed cat could truly find a glimmer of hope for Yan Cen, he wouldn't stop Lili.
The two reached a preliminary agreement, and Bai Li obediently lay on the bed, staring at Xie Chen without blinking.
Uncle Xie brought over Xie Chen's and Bai Li's clothes.
Xie Chen went to change his clothes, while Uncle Xie was showing Bai Li the food he had brought.
"Oh dear, my head was just healed, how did it end up in the water again?"
Uncle Xie always felt sorry for the kitten. Last time, when Bai Li bumped her head, Uncle Xie made many nourishing foods for her for several days to help her recover.
This time, falling into the water and ending up in the hospital worried Uncle Xie terribly.
Bai Li leaned over and hugged Uncle Xie, saying softly, "It was all my fault. I'll be more careful in the future."
Uncle Xie smiled and said, "Okay, then you'll have to be more careful in the future."
With Uncle Xie around, the ward was never short of food all day long.
Xie Chen was working on his computer in the hospital room while feeding the cats.
Bai Li, feeling so full, let out a burp and immediately burped deeper into the blankets.
"I'm not eating anymore."
Bai Li's muffled voice came from under the covers: "I'm so full I want to throw up."
Xie Chen raised an eyebrow and calmly shifted the blame: "Was it Uncle Xie who brought the food? There was too much of it."
Bai Li pointed out sharply: "But you're the one feeding me!"
They just keep feeding me, I can't escape them!
The two stayed in the ward until evening. Bai Li checked the time and nudged Xie Chen.
"Sir, are you going out?"
The time I agreed to meet with Blackfoot Cat has arrived.
Xie Chen looked down at him, a hint of hesitation in his expression: "Lili, the doctor said you still need to be observed for a while longer."
"Then I'll go out for a while."
Bai Li transformed into a cat with a snap, opened her paws towards Xie Chen, and her beautiful amber eyes shone with trust: "Sir, do you want a hug!"
Xie Chen's heart softened after being pestered, and he finally picked up the cat, planning to bring it back later.
The person and the cat had barely left when someone arrived at the hospital with a bouquet of flowers.
"Is Bai Li here? I've come to visit him."
Guan Liang, dressed in a flamboyant outfit, appeared at the hospital like a peacock displaying its plumage.
The nurses and doctors didn't recognize him, so naturally they wouldn't take him to find someone.
Bai Li was staying in a VIP ward, and with Xie Chen by her side, they wouldn't bring strangers to disturb her.
"I know Bai Li, can you take me there?"
Guan Liang tried to get close to the doctor, but with little success.
After much effort, Guan Liang finally managed to obtain a piece of information—
Bai Li has left temporarily and will return later.
Upon receiving the news, Guan Liang, holding flowers, simply waited at the hospital.
Fortunately, Xie Chen didn't see it at the moment, otherwise, Duan Ningqi alone would have been enough to make him lose his temper, let alone another blind Guan Liang.
That would definitely drive him to the point of losing control.
