Chapter 112, First Release of Banxia Novel
The small tables set up outside the cat cafe attracted quite a few people to stop and watch.
The bright red roses, though given by a stranger that cats dislike, are not inherently wrong; those who love them will still love them.
"Can I really get these roses for free?"
"OK."
Bai Li stood at the door and politely answered the passersby who asked her questions.
A passerby looked at the flowers, then at the boy beside them, and suddenly exclaimed, "You're even more pleasing to the eye than these flowers!"
Bai Li: "..."
How am I supposed to answer that?
The passerby took a rose, looked at Bai Li for a while, and then left.
After that, Bai Li simply ignored the small table and stayed in the cat cafe, watching the cats and serving the customers who came to pet them.
Without the silly dog, it's even harder to find out who sent the flowers.
Bai Li went through a lot of trouble to find it, but she was too lazy to go look for it.
It seems that the other party didn't do anything else besides sending roses.
The cat cafe is located in a busy area with a lot of foot traffic; no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble here.
"Big brother."
She ran over to him, all pretty and excited, and asked, "Brother Hei is getting married, what are you going to give him as a gift?"
Blackie's wedding is a few days before the New Year; counting down the days, it'll be here soon.
The kittens were planning to give gifts, but they lacked experience in this area, so they had to ask their older brother for help.
Bai Li has made money now and is no longer as poor as before.
He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I want to buy Brother Hei a more expensive gift."
In the eyes of a kitten who has experienced poverty, expensive means exceptionally good.
"What valuable gift?" Meimei pressed.
Bai Li hesitated for a moment, then presented several options that she was still considering.
"Luxury cat toys, beautiful and expensive clothes, or gold."
Meimei: "..."
Mei Mei was stunned.
His salary is not as high as his older brother's, so he doesn't know if he can afford any of the things mentioned above.
"Big brother, can I and the other kittens get an advance on our wages?"
Adding up all the cats' salaries should be enough.
"Can."
Bai Li nodded and agreed to his request.
Meimei left satisfied to share the good news with the kittens.
Life at the cat cafe was peaceful and uneventful.
Roses were still sent as usual, but Bai Li didn't even look at the little card on it.
He works at the cat cafe during the day and waits for his husband to pick him up at night.
Xie Chen has been coming very late lately.
Like right now.
It was already 8:30, and Xie Chen sat in the car without letting the driver start the car.
His car was parked in the dark, and he himself was looking down at the wound on the back of his hand.
There seemed to be new, fresh wounds on top of the old ones, but the wounds were healing at an eerie speed, disappearing after a few seconds.
Xie Chen rolled up the car window, stopped thinking, and went to pick up his kitten.
Cat cafes close late, with many office workers finishing after 6 pm, and some white-collar workers working even harder.
After a long day, relaxing at a cat cafe is a great option for them.
Not long ago.
A handsome man in a suit walked into the cat café.
The man was Xie Chen, who had come to pick up the kitten from get off work.
“Lili”.
He walked over in a few steps and stood in front of Bai Li: "Are you done with your work?"
Bai Li was still looking down at the accounts.
With a pained expression, he pitifully complained, "Sir, is my bill clear?"
Xie Chen leaned closer and personally checked the calculations.
In less than twenty minutes, the accounts that had left the cat dizzy were successfully settled.
Bai Li's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xie Chen with admiration, showering him with compliments: "Sir, you're amazing!"
With such a capable gentleman around, the clueless little kitten no longer has to rack its brains over accounting.
There were still customers sitting in the cat café.
The guest was a stylish young woman dressed in a smart white work outfit.
She hasn't smiled at all since she came in.
The kittens, eager to work, vied to let her pet them, but she remained indifferent.
Bai Li saw the black mist on her body, and a moment earlier, secretly transformed back into a kitten, jumped onto her lap, and patted her with her little paw.
It wasn't completely smashed.
Almost everyone possesses black mist; it lies dormant, waiting.
When human emotions fall into even the slightest bit of darkness, it's like smelling delicious bait, baring its fangs and claws to entangle them.
Negative emotions can spread, and even the slightest sadness can ferment into despair.
In despair, many people act impulsively.
Bai Li could only pat away the black mist for those he encountered; he couldn't save everyone.
"Are you about to leave work?"
Seeing Xie Chen approach and speak to the shop owner, the woman stood up and asked expressionlessly.
Bai Li quickly waved her hand: "You can continue sitting. I'm not in a hurry to leave work."
If staying in the cat cafe could help this woman relax a little, would Bai Li mind working overtime?
"No."
The woman said calmly, "I'll come another day."
Bai Li paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, alright."
Seeing that the woman was really depressed, Bai Li couldn't help but offer her a word of advice as she was about to leave.
He did try to persuade her, but whether the woman listened is another matter.
"Lili, come here."
Xie Chen tidied up the cat cafe. The cat cafe had heating, cat beds, and everything else, so the kittens who came here to work ate and lived in the cat cafe.
Xie Chen took Bai Li's things and led him home.
After returning home.
Xie Chen went to take a shower first. Bai Li was going to wait for him, but he smelled the fragrance.
"Hmm."
Bai Li climbed out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to find out where the smell was coming from.
He made his way to the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, a soup is simmering over a low flame in a ceramic pot.
The soup smells delicious.
Bai Li sniffed, unable to resist the temptation.
Uncle Xie usually cooks for him.
Bai Li glanced at the soup and, out of habit, assumed that it was also made for herself this time.
He took out a bowl and ladled himself a full bowl.
"call."
Bai Li carefully blew on the soup to cool it down, eager to drink it as soon as possible.
The soup cools down quickly.
In no time, Bai Li finished the whole bowl of soup.
After finishing one bowl, I'll have another.
When Uncle Xie walked in humming a traditional opera tune, intending to bring soup to the master, he was completely stunned when he saw the empty ceramic jar and the kitten Lili next to it.
"Lili?"
Uncle Xie's voice trembled slightly: "You, you drank all the soup?"
Bai Li nodded obediently.
"It tastes good."
He blinked and praised Uncle Xie, "Uncle Xie, I like this soup."
Uncle Xie: "..."
Uncle Xie's blood pressure suddenly spiked.
Oh my goodness!
You drank the wrong thing!
Did he add any tonics to this soup? Will it affect the taste? Uncle Xie didn't do anything today except study the soup.
I finally figured it out and was going to bring it to my husband to help him recover.
result……
It's all gone.
Bai Li noticed that Xie Bo's reaction seemed a bit strange.
Uncle Xie used to be very happy when he ate a lot.
Uncle Xie said that cats look better when they're a little chubby.
But this time, after he finished the soup, why hadn't Uncle Xie praised him yet?
"Lili."
Xie Chen felt something was amiss.
The gentleman suspected that his health was already a concern, which was why he was making nourishing soup.
Right now, the gentleman didn't get his tonic, but he did give Lili a good one.
If Lili has any reaction at night, her husband might not be able to handle it...
Xie Chen thought about it and felt it was tragic.
"never mind."
Uncle Xie really couldn't bring himself to talk about such a private matter.
He waved his hand, telling Bai Li to go back and find the teacher.
Bai Li dashed from the kitchen to the bedroom again.
The bathroom door in the bedroom was unlocked, and Xie Shen was taking a shower.
In the swirling, damp mist.
Bai Li pried open the door, revealing a delicate face.
"gentlemen."
Bai Li stared at her husband as he showered, her eyes involuntarily wandering. While looking around, she complained to Xie Chen, "I went to the kitchen to have some soup, but Uncle Xie didn't seem very happy."
This puzzled him greatly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen simply sped up his shower, and after quickly finishing, covered himself with a towel.
"Don't overthink it. I'll ask around for you tomorrow."
"Um!"
Bai Li nodded and opened the door a little wider: "Sir, I also want to take a bath."
"good."
Xie Chen waved to him: "Want to? Want to turn back into a cat?"
"don't want?."
Bai Li refused to become a cat: "I get a little hot, and I'll be even more afraid of the heat if I become a cat."
Cats have a lot of fur, which doesn't help them dissipate heat.
Seeing this, Xie Chen didn't make him turn into a cat again.
He was very familiar with the kitten, whether in its original form or in its transformed state.
However, due to the kitten's health, Xie Chen had no choice but to restrain himself.
He had promised Bai's brother that he wouldn't do anything unless he could ensure Lili's health.
The bathtub was filled with water.
Bai Li's body was covered in bubbles. He was clearly taking a bath, but as he washed, his face became redder and redder.
No, not only was her face flushed, but her body also felt a little hot.
Xie Chen felt the burning heat on his fingertips, and his expression immediately changed.
"Lili, do you have a fever?"
The temperature is low in winter, and the kitten goes out every day. Xie Chen is afraid that he will get sick from being exposed to the cold wind.
Bai Li shook her head.
"I don't have a fever."
A fever should cause a headache, but his head didn't hurt at all.
If your head doesn't hurt, then it doesn't hurt...
I'm still overthinking a lot of things.
Bai Li's gaze wandered aimlessly, but it always ended up on Xie Chen.
Just as Xie Shen was getting nervous, little did he know that in a distant mountain, the dog—no, the wolf cub—that had run back with great effort was howling and talking to its grandfather.
The old man leaned against the headboard, wearing plain white pajamas, and looked very unwell.
He listened to his grandson's description of the man, and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Grandpa, what kind of creature is Mr. Xie?" The wolf cub was incredibly curious and wanted his grandfather to answer his question.
The old man remained silent for a long time.
Just when the wolf cub thought he wouldn't answer, the old man coughed heavily.
Then he sighed and said, "I have only heard your description, but I have not seen it with my own eyes, so I cannot make a 100% accurate guess."
"My current assumption is that he is not any species."
It is not any species, which means it is not a monster.
The wolf cub boldly asked, "Grandpa, are you trying to say he's a god?"
The old man's face tightened, and he seemed to react somewhat to the word "immortal".
The wolf cub scratched his head and denied it, saying, "No? Right? In the stories I've heard, the gods are all very good, compassionate, and kind."
As for Mr. Xie, when he's not acting normally, he's so cold-blooded that he seems to kill even dogs!
Bah, it's a wolf.
In short, do you believe Mr. Xie is a good breed of wolf cub?
