Chapter 113, First Release of Banxia Novel
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson, who were wolves in the mountains, was known only to them and no one else.
Even when Bai Si came to see the old man later, the old man didn't mention anything to him.
Inside a villa in City A.
Xie Chen wrapped Bai Li, who was almost exhausted, in a bath towel and carried her to the bed.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li hugged him, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and was still humming softly.
"I feel terrible."
Sheberna—a can of soup—was gulped down by an unsuspecting kitten, resulting in both the kitten and its owner suffering the consequences.
The kitten was burning up and desperately wanted to soak in cool water.
Xie Chen naturally wouldn't let him touch anything cold.
The Bai family brothers said that the kitten had been taking medicine since it was a kitten, and it was only recently that it was able to stop taking the medicine, but its body simply cannot withstand any more stress.
If the kitten is really soaked in cold water, it will definitely get sick.
Since Xie Chen wouldn't let him soak in cold water, we had to find another way to solve the problem.
The kitten stayed in the bathroom for over an hour, but when it came out, it still hadn't fully recovered.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li, still dazed, clutched Xie Chen's pajamas and called out to him.
Xie Chen lowered his head and kissed him, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He couldn't possibly do anything too cruel to the kitten, so he had to grit his teeth and think of other solutions.
This night.
Xie Chen barely kept his eyes open until dawn.
The next morning, the little kitten in his arms finally slept soundly. Xie Chen didn't dare to wake him, but gently tucked him in and got out of bed.
At the door of the room.
Uncle Xie was waiting outside early on. When he saw Xie Chen come out, his eyes were clearly filled with melancholy.
“Ahem, sir.”
Uncle Xie tried his best to make his voice sound less guilty: "How is Lili?"
Xie Chen frowned: "He just fell asleep not long ago."
"Uncle Xie, what happened to Lili?"
Uncle Xie awkwardly touched his nose and mumbled, "I made some nourishing soup yesterday and put it in the kitchen, but I didn't expect Lili to drink it all."
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen thought about the scenes from last night and felt a headache coming on.
"Don't stew it anymore."
Xie Chen reminded her, "Lili can't drink those."
Uncle Xie chuckled and brushed the matter aside, never mentioning it again.
He'll definitely have to stew some nourishing soup for Mr. [Name] again.
The old man didn't have any grand ambitions; he just hoped that everything would go smoothly for his family, including that thing (referring to sexual matters).
"Wake Lili up later."
As Xie Chen walked downstairs, he reminded Uncle Xie behind him, "By the way, make him some steamed egg custard for breakfast. He mentioned it once last night, saying he wanted to eat it."
"OK."
Uncle Xie smiled and said, "Lili loves my steamed egg custard. Sir, would you like to try some? I'll go and make you a serving right now."
"No."
Xie Chen wasn't too particular about food; as long as it was nutritionally balanced, he was fine.
As expected, Bai Li was still asleep after breakfast.
Xie Chen went back to the room, looked at him, then lowered his head to kiss his face before leaving to go to work.
About two hours later.
Bai Li finally woke up.
He stretched out in bed, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and slowly sat up.
"gentlemen."
He routinely calls out to the gentleman every morning as a conditioned reflex.
I called out twice, but I didn't see the gentleman.
There's a sticky note on the headboard.
"Lili, I'm going to work. If you want to see me when you wake up, you can video call me."
It is the gentleman's handwriting.
Bai Li looked around, picked up her phone from the table, opened WeChat, and made a video call.
It is 10:00 AM.
Xie Shen was in his office, coldly staring at the people in front of him.
In the few days he was away, these people in front of me all made mistakes at work.
The atmosphere in the office is terrifyingly tense.
The people who had made the mistake were trembling with fear, not daring to look at Xie Chen.
Anna wasn't there; she was in the outer room organizing the materials Xie Chen would be reviewing later.
"Boss, I'm sorry."
Some people couldn't bear the atmosphere of death and stammered an apology to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen's tone was icy: "What I need is not an apology."
The person pursed their lips, too afraid to speak again.
"Buzz—"
A video request popped up on WeChat.
Just a second ago, Xie Chen had a cold face, like a demon god, but the next second, when he looked at his phone, the coldness on his face had disappeared.
"woke up?"
He looked at the little boy rubbing his eyes on the screen and asked in a softer voice.
Bai Li used a stand to prop up her phone on the table, facing it directly at her.
"You're awake."
He threw back the covers and went to find his clothes.
Xie Chen watched all his movements, and then, from time to time, he would say something.
"The coat I'm going to wear today is on the coat rack by the window." "It's three degrees below zero, and it's windy. Go change into those new gray thermal pants you just bought."
"Here are the socks? You heated them up."
Xie Chen's daily, trivial admonitions left those who had just been scolded looking dazed.
Holy crap.
Is this still their boss?!
Several managers who were terrified of Xie Chen exchanged glances—each seeing an expression of existential doubt on the other's face.
After Xie Chen put his phone away, he saw Bai Li go to the bathroom to wash up, and then turned his attention to the group of people in front of him.
Have you figured out how to resolve your mistakes?
"I've been thinking about it—a little."
"-?point?"
"No, not exactly—I've thought it through!"
When the managers finally left the office, their legs were a little weak.
"well."
One of them, who had been scolded the most, said with tears in his eyes, "How can our boss have two faces? Is that the woman he was video chatting with, the one who's about to marry the Xie family's fiancée?"
"yes."
Anna, who was passing by, chimed in, "That's the future wife."
"What, you want the treatment of a lady? Keep dreaming, in your dreams you can have anything."
"..."
Anna, wearing high heels, leisurely pushed open the office door and walked in.
Several large men stared at Anna's retreating figure. Someone started whispering among themselves.
"You guys think Anna, who's been with our boss for so long, has she ever had any feelings for him?"
"Is that even a question?"
Malicious slander, just spouting nonsense: "Anna has been doing so well at the company these past few years, but who knows what she's been sacrificing behind the scenes."
Slander is often laced with bitterness and jealousy. Some people are like that; the more inferior they are to someone, the more they will try to maliciously speculate about them.
"Anna is so beautiful and has such a great figure, yet she's always hanging around in front of our boss, tsk tsk."
These comments haven't reached Anna's ears yet, otherwise, Anna probably would have smashed his head with her high heels right there.
"boss."
In the office, Anna handed over the documents she had just compiled and reported to Xie Chen in an orderly manner, as well as confirming the work schedule.
"The latest updates from those companies are all here. I hope you will take a look as soon as possible."
"good."
After Anna finished reporting her work to him, she inadvertently glanced at the phone on the table.
The phone was propped up on a stand, and Bai Li's image was clearly visible on the screen.
Bai Li has already left home and gone to the cat cafe.
In the past, the entrance to the cat cafe was piled with roses even more frantically than before.
There were also bits of catnip in the rose petals.
Black-footed Cat stood aloof beside the broken leaves, waiting for Bai Li to come over.
"Blackie."
Bai Li was stunned—"What's going on?"
"Someone is harassing you."
Black-footed Cat glared at him unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
He accepted protection money from the kittens, so he has a responsibility to protect their safety.
Bai Li painstakingly moved all the roses aside, then wiped her forehead and said to Blackie, "I can't find anyone, so I can only ignore them."
After thinking for a moment, Blackie offered a solution: "I'll send a few dogs to stake out the area."
"It's no use."
Bai Li shook her head: "The flower deliverymen are different every day. They said the orders are placed anonymously and they can't trace the person who placed them."
Hua Li never signs her cards, and Bai Li has recently stopped even glancing at them.
Upon hearing this, Blackie's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Very good.
It sounds more challenging now, and he likes it.
“Lili”.
Blackie cleaned up all the mint leaves that had been broken into pieces, covered them with soil to prevent the scent from escaping, and said seriously, "If this thing comes up again, have the humans get rid of it immediately."
Bai Li had never seen catnip before.
He asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Catnip."
Black-footed Cat, being knowledgeable, knew about this: "It will make kittens dizzy, and you and other cats will have to hide when you see it."
"good."
After Bai Li finished answering, she added, "Brother Hei, the little card the flower delivery person put in said they would also send me cat grass and catnip."
Bai Li didn't know what catnip was, so she didn't pay attention.
Now that he knows, he's a little puzzled.
Apart from Mr. Xie, his sister-in-law, and Zhou Zhi, no other human being knew his identity.
Catnip...
What does this mean?
Black-footed Cat cleared the doorway with his paws: "Let's go inside and talk."
Inside the store, Blackie asked Mei to find the cards she hadn't looked at for several days.
The cards were piled on the table.
Blackie, who had learned to read from Yan Cen, stared intently at Zhang Zhang.
"Bai Li, I was thinking of you again before I went to sleep tonight, thinking of your face, thinking of you..."
"Bai Li, you haven't shown up for two days? Are you avoiding me?"
"Bai Li, I want to see you, I want to hold you, I want to pin you down..."
"Bai Li, I can't hold back anymore."
"Bai Li, I'm coming to see you tonight."
The last card indicated that he was coming to find Bai Li.
The black guy threw the card away, he found it disgusting.
The foul language he heard made him want to sharpen his claws.
Bai Li hadn't expected the card to contain this information. He looked at Blackie and asked, "Blackie, what do we do now?"
"I'll be your bodyguard tonight."
Black-footed Cat Brother is extremely distrustful of unfamiliar humans, even if the other party is Xie Chen.
He made up his mind that from now on, he would stay by Bai Li's side every step of the way.
Time waits, and passes by bit by bit.
Night falls.
To make it easier to lure the pervert out, Bai Li hasn't had Xie Chen come to pick him up yet.
Black-footed Cat's fighting prowess is beyond question.
With such a fierce cat capable of hunting small antelopes around, Bai Li couldn't be more at ease.
In the darkness of night.
Black-footed Cat was being held in Bai Li's arms as they walked along the roadside.
"Lili, after the New Year, I'll teach you how to hunt."
Black-footed Cat, who was bored out of his mind, made a suggestion to Bai Li.
He felt that the cats in the city needed physical exercise.
Black-footed Cat's survival rule has always been: the strong rule.
Bai Li nodded: "Okay."
He also wanted to learn to be more capable so he could protect his teacher in the future.
After walking for about half an hour, Black-footed Cat, who had been perched on Bai Li's arm and silently scanning the surroundings with his eyes, discovered the situation.
"They're here."
Black-footed Cat Brother let out a low meow—? Bai Li immediately tensed up, putting herself in a defensive stance.
"—A hundred meters away, that car—has been following us."
The black-footed cat observed the situation behind it and promptly shared it with Bai Li.
The car looked quite ordinary, and it had been following them at a leisurely pace for about ten minutes.
There were few people on the road. This was the road that Bai Li and the black goth had chosen.
There are long strips of vegetation on both sides of the road, and hidden in the vegetation are stray dogs with their claws outstretched, ready to pounce.
"Blackie."
Bai Li didn't turn around; his steps were unhurried, as if he hadn't noticed what was happening behind him: "How is it? Can we move out now?"
"That's fine."
Turning in the middle of the road, there's a small alleyway. The alley is dilapidated and hardly anyone lives there.
Black-footed Cat Brother, like an ordinary kitten suddenly startled, ran into the dark alley.
Bai Li "anxiously" started running after them, rushing into the alley to look for the cat.
The car stopped.
Someone patted their pocket and walked into the alley.
