"Third Brother."
Bai Li comforted Tan Yi, who had just finished his injection, and even offered her soft belly for her third brother to rub: "Don't cry, we won't have any more injections tomorrow."
Tan Yi forced back the tears that had just welled up from the pain, and stubbornly said, "Lili, Third Brother didn't cry, these are just physiological tears."
"What? Physiological tears?" Bai Li asked, confused.
Tan Yi gently rubbed her younger brother's soft belly and explained to him, "Physiological tears are when I don't cry subjectively, but I suffer physical harm, so tears appear."
He kept explaining, but it all boiled down to one thing: he didn't cry.
Bai Li nodded as if she understood, and seeing that her third brother's eyes were no longer red, she finally crawled out of his clutches.
Dinner was eaten in the hospital ward.
Tan Yi had his agent buy a lot of delicious food. The food was laid out on the table, but Tan Yi waved his hand, indicating he didn't want his agent watching him.
Once the agent left, only the two brothers remained in the hospital room.
"Lili, come on, have a piece of meat."
The food they ordered was all human food, which ordinary pet cats couldn't eat. But their cat, Lili, wasn't an ordinary cat; she was a cat from Monster Mountain.
Bai Li ate the meat in one gulp. The meat was seasoned with sauce, and it smelled delicious!
"Is it tasty?"
While feeding her younger brother, Tan Yi asked with a hint of nervousness.
Compared to the Xie family's meal, the ingredients weren't as good.
"tasty!"
Bai Li's eyes sparkled as she affirmed, "I want to eat more."
Seeing that he enjoyed the food, Tan Yi was happy too.
"Come on, Third Brother, let me feed you."
Bai Li shook his head, refusing to let his third brother feed him. His third brother fed him too slowly, which affected his ability to eat.
Tan Yi filled a bowl with rice for him and served him various vegetables. Finally, Bai Li asked him to mix it all up before they started eating.
After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Li, who was lying on the bed being petted by her third brother, noticed the ring on his hand.
"Meow meow".
Third brother, how much did your ring cost?
"This was a gift from the sponsor; I didn't pay for it. However, this ring is priced at 120,000 on the official website."
As she spoke, she took off the ring: "Lili, do you want it? Here you go."
"I don't want to."
Bai Li simply asked about the price because...
He used the money he earned from his part-time job to buy his husband the same sparkly ring, which his husband is still wearing.
Third Brother's ring costs 120,000.
He bought the same item for only three yuan.
Bai Li could do math. He knew the difference between 120,000 and 3 yuan without even having to do the math.
Thinking about this, Bai Li felt a little guilty. His master had been so good to him, and the ring he bought for him only cost three yuan…
Bai Li, preoccupied with his guilty conscience, forgot that on the day he bought Xie Chen the ring, he himself had only eaten a one-yuan steamed bun all day.
I stayed for a while longer.
"Third Brother."
Sitting on the bed, Bai Li rubbed her eyes and, before drowsiness overcame her, meowed, "I'm going to find Master."
It was already dark, and he was going to sleep at his teacher's place.
Tan Yi frowned, not wanting her younger brother to leave at all.
"Lili, is there any way to solve Xie Chen's problem once and for all?"
Bai Li said with distress, "No."
Bai Li can remove the black mist from other people's bodies with just one pat, and it will never reappear.
Only the black mist surrounding the man persisted, relentlessly lingering; even if it was shattered, new ones would appear.
He didn't know what had happened either.
Hearing him say that, Tan Yi frowned even more.
"Never mind, let me think of another way."
Since Lili was going to Xie Chen's place anyway, Tan Yi pondered for a moment and an idea popped into his head.
“I remember there are still villas left in the area where Xie Chen lives. Lili, Third Brother will move your house there, so it will be more convenient for you to come back in the future.”
Moving to a new house...
Bai Li tilted her head and asked Tan Yi, "Third Brother, do you have money?"
"have."
Tan Yi decided to buy the house she currently lives in so that she can move to a new one.
They had agreed on changing houses, but Tan Yi couldn't leave the hospital room, so she planned to have her agent take Li Li there.
Just as the agent led the kitten out of the hospital, Xie Chen's car happened to be parked outside.
"Meow!"
gentlemen!
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Li's beautiful amber eyes. He ran over in a few steps and jumped into the car through the door Xie Chen had opened.
Xie Chen took the kitten into his arms and wiped its dirty paws with a tissue.
Bai Li obediently stretched out her feet, letting Xie Chen wipe her pink paw pads clean.
"Why are you here?" Bai Li asked meowingly. "Are you sick?"
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, and even though he had already wiped the pink paw pads clean, he still held them in his hand.
He said calmly, "I'm not sick. I was just passing by and saw you coming out, so I stopped the car."
Bai Li, unsuspecting, leaned her chubby body against his chest and meowed, "Then I don't need to run back. I can take a car."
"Hmm." Xie Chen said, then asked him, "I'm going somewhere, do you want to come with me?"
Most cats are born with a strong sense of curiosity, and Bai Li is also a curious cat.
He tilted his head back, staring straight at the gentleman who was always exceptionally handsome in his eyes, and meowed, "Where are we going?"
Xie Chen met his gaze and paused for a moment: "I'll go sing you a song."
"I want to go!"
Bai Li said happily, he still remembered the song that the gentleman sang for him last time, it was very beautiful.
Xie Chen pinched his paw pads and instructed the driver to take the car to Starlight, the largest entertainment company in the industry.
This entertainment company doesn't belong to Xie Chen, but the founder has a connection to Xie Chen, and the connection is quite dramatic.
Xie Chen's mother has a younger sister, a half-sister, who is also Xie Chen's aunt. This aunt cheated on her husband and had a son with him.
This company was opened by Xie Chen's aunt's son, who is Xie Chen's cousin.
Xie Chen's aunt is unreliable; she's always out having fun and doesn't care about her son at all.
When he was a child, Xie Chen's mother often took care of this cousin.
My cousin is ruthless to outsiders, but he's quite good to Xie Chen. He's thirty-five this year, and I don't know if it's due to his family background, but he's still unmarried.
The car arrived at Starlight.
Xie Chen, carrying the magical little kitten that would fall asleep as soon as it was in the car, got out of the car and entered the gate of Starlight.
He has rarely made public appearances in recent years, and has not released many albums. After all, he has other things to do.
But the best recording studio in Starlight Entertainment has always been his private space and has always been available for his use.
"Hello, Brother Xie."
When he entered, some celebrities saw Xie Chen and greeted him respectfully.
Xie Chen turned slightly to let the other person leave before pressing the elevator button.
Entertainment companies are never short of artists of all kinds, whether they are beautiful or talented.
Some people didn't dare to talk to Xie Chen, while others couldn't wait to get close to him.
While still asleep, Bai Li was choked by the smell of perfume and sneezed onto Xie Chen's hand.
“Lili”.
Xie Chen looked down, observing the little guy's movements: "Where does it hurt?"
Bai Li, awakened by a sneeze, raised her head, her beautiful amber eyes still showing a sleepy look.
"Meow."
I'm so sleepy.
Xie Chen stroked his fur and coaxed him softly, "Go back to sleep if you're sleepy."
Bai Li shook his head, not wanting to sleep anymore. He hugged one of Xie Chen's fingers, pressed his face against it, and slowly tried to wake himself up.
As for the few young girls who squeezed in next to Xie Chen, Bai Li couldn't spare the time to look at them.
The elevator doors opened, and Xie Chen had just stepped inside when the girls followed him in.
"Hello, Brother Xie."
The girls were dressed casually, with exquisite makeup; some were alluring, some innocent, and some cute—they represented several types. They seemed to be either good friends or something else entirely—a girl group from the company.
The girl with long curly hair, who was leading the group, greeted Xie Chen with a smile: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you at the company."
Xie Chen was used to their enthusiasm; most of the artists in the company treated him this way.
"Hmm, quite a coincidence."
Xie Chen gave a perfunctory answer, and after pressing the elevator button, he deliberately took a step back.
The perfume these girls are wearing is so strong it'll choke Lili.
The girls are indeed a newly formed girl group within the company, and their current situation within the company is somewhat awkward.
There are many girl groups nowadays, and their group isn't anything special. Whether they can become popular depends on fate and whether there are any shortcuts.
Xie Chen, standing before them, was undoubtedly the fastest shortcut if they could climb up to him.
"Brother Xie, we are all your biggest fans. May we take a photo with you?"
"Sorry, I don't like taking pictures," Xie Chen said calmly.
"Then, how about adding each other on WeChat?"
"I don't use WeChat."
girl:"……"
The girl was still unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but the elevator doors opened and Xie Chen had already walked out.
He headed towards the ninth floor.
They cannot freely enter or leave this place.
"never mind."
The girl group's leader, the one who had been talking to Xie Chen, reluctantly turned her gaze away and left with the other girls.
"I get along well with Liu Yi, and Liu Yi said he would introduce us to people who can help us."
The captain is an ambitious person; she is not willing to be abandoned in this industry.
Is the person Liu Yi introduced reliable?
"Look at Liu Yi's popularity right now. I heard he'll soon be able to replace Tan Yi." The captain whispered the information he had received privately: "Someone wants to get rid of Tan Yi. When Tan Yi steps down, Liu Yi will definitely take his place."
"We're on good terms with Liu Yi, so we won't have to worry about finding connections in the future."
Some people are ambitious and want to rise to the top in this circle, while others climb the ladder steadily through hard work.
All I can say is that these are their own choices and their own paths.
Xie Chen entered this industry on his own back then, and he didn't bother with any of the crooked ways or shady practices.
Not long after.
In the recording studio, Bai Li was placed on a high stool by Xie Chen.
"I'll tidy up a bit; I'll record a few takes of the song later."
"Meow!"
OK!
Now fully awake, Bai Li sat upright, her beautiful round eyes fixed on Xie Chen without blinking.
The equipment in the recording studio was all familiar to Xie Chen, and it was all top-of-the-line equipment.
Xie Chen reviewed the sheet music he had recently written. During this time, a burly man wearing a baseball cap arrived; the man and Xie Chen were regular collaborators.
He was in charge of recording and debugging; he was very quiet and rarely said anything unnecessary.
The only pointless remark he made was what he said while looking at Bai Li.
"Your cat looks good."
After uttering that pointless remark, the burly man adjusted his hat and began to work.
After a short while of preparation, Bai Li saw Xie Chen put on his headphones and finally begin recording.
In the first song, Xie Chen sat in front of the drum set and personally played the drums to accompany himself.
Bai Li had never seen anyone play the drums before, only Xie Chen...
He could hear Xie Chen's singing, and what caught his eye was Xie Chen's handsome face, which was immersed in the music and had an arrogant look in its eyes.
"Thump, thump—"
Bai Li pressed her hands to her chest, feeling as if she was about to get sick.
Otherwise, why would his heart be beating so fast?
In Bai Li's eyes, the gentleman had always been gentle. But now, the gentleman was so cool that Bai Li couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Meow."
As the song ended, the little kitten, who was stunned by what it saw and heard, accidentally meowed.
The burly man who was recording the sound picked up the meow. He raised an eyebrow, not blaming the kitten, but instead asking Xie Chen a question after he finished.
"Your cat's voice was recorded. Do you want to delete it?"
"I won't delete it."
Xie Chen took off his headphones, closed his eyes, and tried to shake off his emotions.
"Send me a copy of the audio later."
Xie Chen took a few steps out and spoke to the burly man who was fiddling with the equipment.
In the past, he would only keep audio files when he was satisfied with them at the very end. Is today's request an exception?
The burly man grunted in response, offering no comment on his actions.
Seeing that Xie Chen had stopped singing, Bai Li quickly stood up with her chubby body and stretched out her paws, wanting Xie Chen to hug her.
"Meow meow".
Sir, you were so cool just now!
Seeing Bai Li's adoring gaze, Xie Chen's lips curled into a smile.
He picked up the kitten, whose eyes were fixed on him, and pressed his forehead against the kitten's for a few seconds.
"After we finish recording, I'll teach you a cat song."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li quickly raised her paw and added, "Sir, I also know a new cat dance!"
The new cat dance was taught by Zhou Zhi, and perhaps it can be paired with a new cat song.
Xie Chen quite enjoyed watching the little guy dance, especially the previous radio calisthenics routine, which he recorded and watched quite often.
When he was tired from work and feeling frustrated, he would watch the cat version of calisthenics a few times. Watching the little kittens in the video earnestly clapping their paws, spinning around, and doing the splits, what? His worries could be temporarily suppressed.
"Okay, I'll watch your cat dance later."
Perfect timing, he can record new video footage now.
After spending a long time in the recording studio, not only Xie Chen recorded a song, but Bai Li also used top-of-the-line equipment, sitting in Xie Chen's lap, and recorded a complete cat song into the microphone.
Xie Chen recorded this cat song and backed it up in a separate folder.
The file contained his new song, which Xie Chen intended to keep for himself. But later, this folder also caused an accident.
"Sir, shall we go home?"
Bai Li listened to several of her husband's songs tonight, and even recorded some herself, making her very satisfied.
He tugged at Xie Chen's clothes, tilted his head back, and wanted to go home with Xie Chen.
"Return?"
Xie Chen put on the coat he had just taken off, picked up Bai Li, and wrapped him in the coat.
"The weather forecast says it will rain tonight."
As Xie Chen walked, he spoke to him, saying, "It might get colder outside."
Bai Li nestled against Xie Chen's chest, her meows sounding listless after hearing about the rain.
"Sir, I don't want it to rain."
If it rains, it will be very difficult for him to complete his deliveries tomorrow.
Cats are afraid of getting wet in the rain.
Xie Chen seemed to see through his thoughts and frowned, saying directly, "I'll ask for leave for you at the seafood restaurant."
"No, please."
Having been cheated by a shady brick kiln owner once, Bai Li was afraid to ask for leave.
His round, wet eyes looked at Xie Chen, and he emphasized again, "Don't ask for leave. If you ask for leave, your salary will be deducted."
The little guy didn't want to take leave, but Xie Chen couldn't let him work in the rain.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xie Chen had an idea, but he didn't tell Bai Li.
When the person and the cat took the elevator downstairs, it was probably a bit late, so there weren't many people in the company.
"No one" doesn't mean there's absolutely no one.
Xie Chen caught a glimpse of a boy who had stayed at the company out of the corner of his eye. He was wearing dance practice clothes and his forehead was covered in sweat, so he probably had just come out of the dance studio.
He pretended not to see it, and strode out of the company while holding the kitten in his arms.
On the way back, Bai Li fell asleep in the car again, as expected.
He's asleep, but Claw is still playing with that cheap ring on his hand that he can't take off.
