Bai Li climbed from the table onto Xie Chen's lap and blinked: "Meow."
Third Brother, I want to hear more.
Tan Yi covered his ears: "No, you don't want to."
She had been busy with various engagements for days, and now that she was back, all she wanted to do was spend time with her younger brother.
Night falls.
Xie Chen glanced at Tan Yi, who was playing with Li Li on the sofa, and casually put the things in his hand on the table.
"Talking about things."
He asked calmly, "Aren't you sleepy?"
He was a little sleepy, but looking at his adorable little brother who looked like a little white dumpling, he didn't want to leave.
"It's still early."
Tan Yi, disregarding his conscience, blatantly lied: "President Xie, if you're sleepy, go back to your room to sleep. I can sleep in the guest room with Lili."
Xie Chen raised an eyebrow, naturally disagreeing.
Bai Li, who had been playing with Sixth Brother all this time, couldn't hold on any longer and raised her paw to rub her eyes.
"Meow, meow meow."
Sixth Brother, I want to sleep.
Tan Yi picked up his younger brother, intending to take him to sleep, but Xie Chen reached out his hand instead.
The next second.
Bai Li's paw landed on Xie Chen's large hand.
Heartbroken, Tan Yi asked, "Lili, aren't you going to spend any time with Third Brother?"
"I accompanied you."
Bai Li straightened her chubby body, leaned close to Tan Yi's ear and whispered, "I'll go keep Third Brother company after I've put Mr. Tan to sleep."
Tan Yi looked at the little kitten whispering in his ear with a worried expression, thinking that by the middle of the night, the kitten itself would be fast asleep, completely unaware that it had a third brother.
It was late at night.
Bai Li pushed open Tan Yi's unlocked door with a clatter, but after jumping onto the bed, his third brother, who had promised to wait for him, had already turned into a cat and was snoring away.
"Meow."
Third brother!
Bai Li called out twice, but couldn't wake his third brother. He tilted his head to look at his third brother, then simply snuggled up next to him, closed his eyes, and fell asleep as well.
The next day.
Tan Yi looked at the kitten still sleeping on the bed with delight. Ignoring that the kitten was not yet awake, she curled the kitten into her arms and began to lick its fur.
"Meow, meow."
Bai Li protested by moving her body, refusing to let her third brother lick her.
The two brothers played around on the bed for a while until Xie Chen called them to get up from outside the door, at which point Tan Yi finally stopped.
After having breakfast, Bai Li went to work as usual.
Tan Yi and Xie Chen were also busy. Xie Chen was rushing even more to make time to visit his cousin.
For two consecutive days.
Bai Li's transformation time became more and more fixed. In the afternoon, he would have a vague feeling of it.
Originally, there were no clothes for human form, but Bai Li was afraid of the cold, so she learned to transform fur into clothes on her own.
That change took a toll on his body, but at least it solved the problem of being cold.
His human form seemed to be separate from his cat form.
After transforming, he will remember the memories of the time he transformed, but he only has some general impressions of the cat.
Starlight Entertainment's flagship program has already started, and all the contestants are young and beautiful, coming from multiple companies at the invitation of the organizers.
As a contestant from Starlight Entertainment, Bai Li was taken care of like a child by her chubby manager as soon as she entered the show.
"First."
"Ahem, it's Yi Yi." The agent misspoke, calling her by the wrong name. He patted Bai Li's shoulder and lowered his voice, saying, "This time, it's our home turf. Don't be afraid, we have many senior brothers and sisters backing you up."
Bai Li nodded as if she understood, then asked him, "When can I see Xie Chen?"
"Don't rush."
The agent smiled and said, "Brother Xie is a special judge. You'll not only get to meet him, but you'll also be able to talk to him."
"Come on, let me show you around the area."
The agent is very responsible; currently, his main task is to manage Bai Li's itinerary.
Bai Li addressed him in a very down-to-earth way: "Thank you, Fatty."
Fatty's nickname is Fatty. According to Fatty himself, his family was poor when he was a child, and he didn't have much to eat, so he was as thin as a stick.
His childhood dream was to eat meat and grow fat, so he even gave himself a nickname, Fatty.
The venue for the show was provided by Starlight Entertainment, and all the contestants arrived to register.
Diao Ling, who works at the same company as Bai Li, smiled and went up to greet Fatty.
"This must be Yi-yi."
Diao Ling said gently, "No wonder Fatty wanted to personally mentor Yi Yi. Yi Yi's talent is truly the best among all the newcomers."
These words seemed to be praising Bai Li, but the other newcomers who happened to be passing by changed their expressions slightly upon hearing them.
Fatty raised his eyelids and glanced at this girl who seemed to be deliberately trying to sow discord among others.
"All the new hires in the company are quite qualified. By the way, what's your name again? I vaguely remember you're not exactly a newbie anymore. You'd better hurry up and work hard, otherwise the new hires..."
The fat guy didn't say what he meant next, but everyone understood.
Diao Ling almost couldn't keep her composure when she was being rebuked.
Fatty only glanced at her before leading Bai Li around to greet others.
"Lili, don't be alone with him anymore, okay?"
"Um!"
The show has generated a lot of buzz beforehand, but the focus of the promotion is not on the contestants at all.
Special guest judge, Xie Chen. This name is the keyword the show's producers are using to grab trending topics.
As everyone knows, given Xie Chen's current status, it's practically impossible for him to be invited to events in the entertainment industry.
He has neither a lack of money nor fame, but no one can offer him a satisfactory deal.
If Xie Mao hadn't spoken up for him, Xie Chen wouldn't have appeared on camera at all.
It was around dusk.
The judges each had their own designated area, and Xie Chen was being interviewed by a group of reporters.
The reporters' eyes were filled with excitement. After so many years, they were finally going to be able to interview Xie Chen in person!
There were other people on the judging panel, such as Tan Yi.
But in the eyes of the reporters, Xie Chen was still the most important.
The interview begins.
The reporter first asked a few preliminary questions, such as, "Brother Xie, why did you suddenly agree to come to this program?"
Xie Chen sat in the chair, his long legs slightly bent, looking at the person who asked the question.
"Because I think this show is very good."
The reporters smiled, but didn't point out the unspoken reason—
The show was organized by Xie Chen's cousin. He was willing to come, so why is there any need to explain?
"Brother Xie, I heard your album is coming out soon?"
"Yes, at the end of the year."
After a few questions, it was the turn of a rather pretty female reporter to ask a question.
"Brother Xie, I'd like to ask about your current relationship status."
The female reporter blushed slightly and said in a deliberately humorous tone, "You still have quite a few female fans, right? I'm here on behalf of everyone to ask if you have a mistress in your household?"
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes upon hearing the question, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding a languid air.
He replied calmly, "There's no one else in my family besides myself. And I'm not in a relationship either."
The female reporter's smile became even more genuine after receiving an answer.
She seized the opportunity to ask, "So, Brother Xie, do you have any plans to start a relationship?"
"without."
Xie Chen only replied with a single word this time, then glanced at the next questioner, who tactfully took over the conversation.
After a round of interviews, the reporters watched Xie Chen leave the stage with satisfaction.
"Alright, Brother Xie is definitely going to dominate the trending topics from now on. Little Special will send someone to stake out the area and film something."
After returning home, the reporter worked on writing the article while simultaneously arranging manpower.
The judges in the judging panel are all celebrities, especially Xie Chen, who is always among the top three trending topics.
Compared to the judges, the contestants were rather unremarkable.
The production team hasn't started promoting the contestants yet; after all, they can't play all their cards at once.
Night falls.
Bai Li, who had turned back into a cat, felt even more tired than before.
Xie Chen, holding the cat, glanced at Weibo and, sure enough, his interview video was trending second.
The top trending topic is a significant achievement in scientific research and technology.
Xie Chen's longtime fans understand that these research projects benefit humanity, and they never compete for such trending topics.
Just as Xie Chen's topic was about to trend on social media, some of his big fans were still actively refreshing the original top trending topic on his super topic page.
Xie Chen didn't click on the comments under the trending topic.
He only made sure to generate some buzz for his cousin, then put his phone on the bedside table and looked down to admire his snow-white kitten.
The kitten's fur is all white and soft. Its pink, plum-shaped paw pads are so soft and bouncy to the touch.
Xie Chen never thought he would be obsessed with anything before.
But at this moment.
Looking at the tiny kitten in front of him, no bigger than his palm, he felt completely absorbed in petting it.
No one can resist such a kitten whose entire body is radiating the message, "I'm so pettable."
He leaned in and kissed the kitten's paws, then its head.
"Lili, goodnight."
Bai Li nestled in his arms, rolled over, and even put one of her paws on his body in her sleep, snoring softly in comfort.
I woke up the next day.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Xie Chen didn't rush to wake him up, but instead got up and went to the kitchen.
Uncle Xie usually makes breakfast at home, but he hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so Xie Chen has taken over the task.
He didn't like having a nanny live at home, so apart from the regular hourly workers, there were hardly any people in the huge villa.
The kitchen has all kinds of ingredients.
Xie Chen cooked porridge, made a deluxe cat meal for Bai Li, and then had a simple scrambled egg and some vegetables for himself and Uncle Xie.
While frying the eggs, he casually chopped a chili pepper. The chili pepper was newly bought by Uncle Xie; it didn't look particularly appealing, but it had a strong flavor.
After preparing breakfast, Xie Chen washed his hands and let Uncle Xie eat first, while he went back to the bedroom to wake up the kitten who was still in bed.
I went back to my bedroom.
Bai Li lay on its back with its four paws in the air, exposing its white belly, its eyes still closed.
“Lili”.
Xie Chen walked closer and bent down to call out.
Bai Li was fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening. He wasn't using a pillow, so his little head was tilted back quite far. From Xie Chen's angle, he could clearly see the tip of Bai Li's pink tongue sticking out.
When cats are in a deep sleep, they may occasionally stick out a little bit of their tongue if they feel hot or due to other factors.
The kitten is tiny; its tongue is even smaller than the tip of its little fingernail.
Xie Chen's hands were itching to touch it, and he couldn't resist reaching out to do so.
The contact happened in less than three seconds.
The kitten, which couldn't be woken up, exploded off the bed like a tiny cannonball.
"Meow!!!"
The chubby little kitten reflexively rolled a considerable distance away from Xie Chen, looking at him with teary eyes as if making an accusatory statement.
Early this morning, the cat wasn't woken up by a meow, but cruelly woken up by a spicy spiciness!
