"Lili?"
Bai Liu slowed down the car and turned his head to look at his younger brother who was sleeping on the passenger seat.
Bai Li was sleeping soundly, snoring softly. The even snoring sounded quite harmonious in the night.
Halfway there, Bai Liu got out of the car and bought some food for his younger brother by the roadside, intending it to be his late-night snack.
Soon, they arrived at the villa where they were supposed to meet.
Bai Liu didn't even glance at Xie Chen, who was following in his car, and strode back to the villa with his younger brother in his arms.
When they reached the door, he gave Xie Chen a smile.
"Mr. Xie, it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."
After saying that, Bai Liu politely but firmly closed the door in front of Xie Chen.
He returned from the lab, and of course, his younger brother stayed with him that night.
Xie Chen looked at the closed door, his expression not showing anger, but his eyes also not showing much joy.
The kitten slept soundly in Bai Liu's arms, completely oblivious to the man who had been locked out of the room.
Night was falling.
Bai Liu, who had just finished showering, was wearing pajamas and video chatting with Tan Yitong.
"Xiao Liu, when are you coming to visit Third Brother on set?" Tan Yi looked longingly at Lili next to Bai Liu: "Bring Lili along, Third Brother misses you guys."
Tan Yi's gaze remained fixed on Bai Li for a long time without shifting.
Bai Liu scoffed, "It's rare that you still think of me, Third Brother."
Tan Yi, with a shameless grin, lied through his teeth: "Third Brother isn't biased; I want both you and Lili."
Bai Liu didn't expose him; she simply sat down and chatted with him casually.
"Third Brother, did you find the thing?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yi's expression instantly tightened. He pursed his lips and after a long while, shook his head: "No, I've been careful everywhere, but I still haven't found a single clue."
Bai Liu frowned.
The elders said that Monster Mountain lost a treasure. Without the treasure, the spiritual power of Monster Mountain weakened, and it became increasingly difficult for the little monsters to transform into human form.
Lili was born weak, and coupled with the lack of spiritual energy in the Demon Mountain, he has been unable to transform into human form until now.
Bai Liu rubbed his forehead: "Third brother, let's be more careful. Lili... we can't delay any longer."
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Liu transformed into a gray-white kitten, wrapped her younger brother in her arms, and even licked his fur.
Bai Li, his eyes closed, tried to crawl out while being licked by Bai Liu, but before he could take two steps, Bai Liu shoved him back with a paw and continued licking his fur.
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li kicked her paws in a daze: "Meow meow."
I need to sleep.
Cats have many ways of expressing affection, but licking their fur definitely ranks first!
Tan Yi had previously tried to lick Bai Li's fur, but due to her younger brother's resistance, she hadn't succeeded many times.
Bai Liu was different. He held his younger brother down and licked him clean, while also checking for any health problems.
"Meow."
I'm not sick.
After confirming the health issue, Bai Liu finally let go of his younger brother.
Xie Chen didn't sleep much that night. He glanced at the various medicines in the bedside table, reached out his hand, and then withdrew it.
Every medicine has some degree of toxicity.
These medications did not do him much good.
He closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and then pulled up all the kitten-related videos on his phone, watching them one by one.
He always felt that he was letting Lili become too dependent on him.
But now...
He couldn't sleep at all if Lili wasn't around.
Ultimately, who is depending on whom?
The next day.
Looking at Xie Chen's expression, Uncle Xie, who had been with Xie Chen for many years, knew Xie Chen very well.
"Sir, you haven't had enough rest."
"I'm handling some things," Xie Chen replied calmly.
After breakfast, Uncle Xie watched Xie Chen's departing figure and sighed.
"Sigh, without Lili by his side, the master's appetite has declined."
When Xie Chen knocked on the door of Tan Yi's villa, it was just past seven o'clock.
But it wasn't Bai Liu who opened the door.
A bunch of British Shorthair twin cats opened the door and looked up at him.
"Meow meow".
My older brother isn't home.
The twin cats were trying to remind Xie Chen, but Xie Chen could only understand Bai Li's meows. He couldn't understand a word of what the two cats were meowing.
I didn't understand what they said, but I understood their gestures.
He frowned and made a phone call to Bai Li.
The phone rang several times before the other end finally answered.
“Lili”.
Xie Chen asked, "Where are you?"
Bai Li, who woke up early, rubbed her eyes with her paw and meowed, "I don't know."
Xie Chen: "?"
Xie Chen's brows furrowed even more: "Where's Bai Liu? Is he with you?"
"Here I am."
Bai Li honestly confessed, "Sixth Brother said he'd take me to take down the scumbags."
"Lili, sit up straight."
Bai Liu listened to her younger brother's meows, raised her voice, and turned the call on speakerphone.
"Mr. Xie, I'm taking my younger brother out to play today. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"Bai Liu, how long do you plan to let Lili play outside?"
Before the call ended, Xie Chen asked a cold question.
Without even thinking, Bai Liu replied directly, "I don't know, I'll go back whenever I'm done having fun."
Back when they were in the mountains, he had already taken his younger brother and explored every corner of the area.
Now that he's down the mountain, he naturally wants to take his younger brother out to play more.
On the bus.
Bai Li stared at her phone, her cat-like face looking a little dejected: "Sixth Brother, I miss Mr. [the Master]."
He didn't spend the whole night with his husband last night, and this morning Sixth Brother took him out directly.
Bai Li looked down and counted how many hours she hadn't seen her husband.
Bai Liuteng reached out and ruffled his younger brother's hair.
"Don't think about him."
Bai Li shook her head in distress and meowed, "I can't control it."
Lately, he seems to want to be closer to his husband than ever before.
Upon seeing this, a dark glint flashed in Bai Liu's eyes.
Bai Liu had another hidden plan for taking his younger brother out today.
He didn't want his younger brother to be too attached to Xie Chen. His brother didn't know about Xie Chen's reputation outside, but he knew very well about it.
People like that are too dangerous.
Bai Li slumped listlessly in the chair, silently thinking about her husband.
"Sixth Brother."
As she was thinking, Bai Li suddenly raised her head: "I want to sit in the back."
"OK."
Bai Liu asked him to change seats and sit in the back row.
The back row has more space, so Lili can roll around and play freely.
Bai Li, who moved to the back row, turned around so that her chubby backside was facing Sixth Brother.
He touched his phone and switched it to WeChat.
【gentlemen! 】
A chat window popped up with a picture of a kitten. Someone who had just arrived at the company and was in a low mood suddenly raised an eyebrow.
He pressed the elevator button and replied a minute later.
【I am here. 】
Perhaps feeling that the text message looked too stiff, Xie Chen thought for a moment and then sent an emoji instead.
[Petting a kitten's head (jpg)]
The kitten in the emoji is Bai Li herself.
Bai Li was stunned when she saw her own meme.
[Sir! It's me!]
Bai Li clapped her paws as she typed for Xie Chen, using several exclamation marks.
Xie Chen found his reaction amusing and sent him a few more emojis.
[Angry cat jpg]
[Cat sleeping (jpg)]
[Cat eating rice jpg]
A series of emojis, all featuring a tiny, snow-white kitten the size of a palm.
Bai Li stared in disbelief.
[I made all of this, what does Lili think?]
Bai Li looked at the new message Xie Chen sent, her left paw stepping on her right paw, feeling both happy and a little embarrassed.
He had no idea that his husband had secretly taken so many photos of him.
The two chatted on WeChat, and after a while, Bai Li even learned how to use Moments.
His WeChat contact list is pitifully small, containing only Uncle Xie, Third Brother, Sixth Brother, and a gentleman he really likes.
There weren't many people, but their WeChat Moments were quite full of content.
Third Brother and Uncle Xie both love posting on WeChat Moments.
Bai Li also saw that Xie Bo's WeChat Moments were full of cat-related content. One of them was a cat video with accompanying text—
The kitten has many worries, but he doesn't know how to post them on social media.
After seeing the video, Bai Li's cat-like face turned serious, and she posted her first message on WeChat Moments.
[The kitten has many worries, but it posts them on social media.]
My husband bought me a cell phone, so now I'm a little kitten who posts on social media!
Xie Chen liked Bai Li's post as soon as it was published on his WeChat Moments.
Bai Liu, who was driving in front, saw that her younger brother hadn't moved for a while and couldn't help but ask, "Lili, what are you doing?"
Bai Li is engrossed in chatting with Xie Chen.
When it comes to coaxing cats, Xie Chen can be considered a veteran.
Without even looking up, he answered Sixth Brother with a "Meow".
Send a message to Mr. ?
Bai Liu: "..."
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes.
Why is Xie Chen so difficult to deal with?
After driving for a while, the car arrived at the entrance of an apartment building.
"Let's stop talking."
Bai Liu picked up his younger brother and walked outside, saying, "Sixth brother will take you to play something else."
The apartment's owner was the long-haired man on the yacht. He knew Bai Liu was coming and had been waiting for him for a long time.
The door opened.
The man welcomed them inside, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the kitten.
"How did this kitten end up in your hands?"
"mine."
As Bai Liu spoke, he put his younger brother down so he could familiarize himself with the area.
"Xiao Liu, there's food on the table."
The man was actually a little confused about Bai Liu. He didn't remember knowing this boy before, but suddenly the boy had made contact with him.
Furthermore, they knew everything about his relationship with Bai Lin.
Not only did the boy know, but he was also very kind-hearted and wanted to help him get rid of the scumbag.
Thinking of this, the man repeated helplessly, "Xiao Liu, that person isn't a scumbag." Xiao Liu didn't know the other person's name, so it seemed he hadn't revealed much information about him.
Otherwise, he really suspected that Xiao Liu was planning to do something else.
The two were talking, while Bai Li behind them was exploring the new territory.
The apartment had a lot of alcohol, all kinds of alcohol, and they looked very expensive.
Bai Li ran around the apartment for a while, then stopped at Sixth Brother's feet.
"Meow meow".
Sixth Brother, hug me.
Exhausted from running, Bai Li opened his paws and let Sixth Brother lift him onto his lap.
Sitting on Sixth Brother's lap, Bai Li began to listen attentively as Sixth Brother spoke to that man.
"He asked me to meet him at the hotel."
The man hesitated as he said this, seemingly unsure whether he should go.
Upon hearing this, Bai Liu emphasized without expression—
"What a jerk."
"Lili." Bai Liu lowered her head and lectured her younger brother on the spot: "You must remember, most people who ask you to meet at a hotel don't have good intentions."
What kind of business do we need to discuss? Can't we just talk about it in a coffee shop, restaurant, or any other open and aboveboard place? Why do we have to meet in a hotel?
Bai Li nodded as if she understood, and firmly remembered what her sixth brother had said.
And it was precisely because he remembered this that later, when someone tried to hand Xie Chen a hotel room key, the kitten in Xie Chen's arms got so angry that its fur stood on end.
"Meow meow".
At this moment, Bai Li obediently held her sixth brother's hand and said, "I understand."
"Are you going to a hotel?" Bai Liu asked the man, looking up at him.
The man didn't speak.
Bai Liu raised an eyebrow and hugged her younger brother, saying, "You stay at home, I'm going over there."
man:"……"
That's not a good idea.
Bai Liu usually doesn't meddle in other people's business and doesn't like gossip, but listening to the man's history of unrequited love and his apology after sleeping with him...
Those things make me angry just hearing about them.
"Yu Yin".
Bai Liu freed one hand and patted the man's shoulder: "I've recently looked into the current trends."
"There is a popular 'wife-chasing-after-cremation' scenario. But for you, there's no way you can catch up. Just cremate her."
This time, it was Bai Li who was stunned.
"Meow meow".
Sixth Brother, shall we cremate him?
"Yes, if anyone dares to treat you like that in the future, Sixth Brother will cremate them on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li quickly replied, "Sir, you're not like that. You're a very good person."
Bai Liu's face darkened; he didn't really want to hear anything about "Mr." or "Mr."
They left Yu Yin at home, and the two brothers got into the car and went to the hotel.
On the road. Bai Li took another nap. After waking up, he turned on his phone and, still half asleep, called Xie Chen.
"Meow."
I want to see you, sir.
Xie Chen, who was in his office, heard the somewhat dazed meowing and immediately checked its location.
It is a hotel.
"Anna, postpone the next meeting. I need to pick up Lili."
"good."
Anna received the instructions and quickly rearranged the itinerary.
At the company entrance, Xie Chen's car had just driven away when one or two old black cars followed behind.
Inside the car, the woman gripped the steering wheel, her eyes, red from staying up all night, filled with hatred.
"Lili, come here."
Bai Liu, having parked the car, opened the door and helped her younger brother out: "Were you on the phone?"
"It's over."
Bai Li shook her head, regaining her senses from her previous dazed state.
"Sixth Brother."
After Bai Li finished meowing, she touched her neck and reported to Bai Liu, "My throat is sore."
It seems like it took a nap; even waking up is difficult for it.
Bai Liu made him open his mouth, and he let out another "ah," but it was impossible to tell what the problem was.
"Are you not drinking enough water?"
Bai Liu carried him and said as they walked, "I'll go get you a glass of warm water."
There was a water dispenser at the hotel front desk. Bai Liu filled a cup and handed it to her younger brother.
At the same time, he didn't stop walking and went straight upstairs.
Having obtained the room number, Bai Liu didn't explicitly say she was looking for someone. Instead, she booked a room on the same floor as that scumbag.
The person and the cat had just gone upstairs when Xie Chen followed them down.
The hotel room.
The man, whose back wound hadn't fully healed, was wrapping bandages around himself in front of a mirror.
The man was very tall, nearly 1.9 meters. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a strong, defined face. His skin was a healthy tan, and his muscles were well-defined, yet they didn't look exaggerated when he wore clothes.
After treating the wound, he looked down and glanced at the time.
It's 10 o'clock.
Yu Yin hasn't arrived yet.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, but only once, followed by a strange noise.
There were frantic meows and a woman's piercing screams...
He frowned and walked towards the door.
And in the corridor outside the door.
Bai Liu had just knocked on the door while holding Lili when Xie Chen walked over from behind.
When Bai Li saw Xie Chen, she patted her sixth brother's arm and meowed happily.
"Yes, sir!"
Xie Chen and Bai Liu exchanged a glance for a second, and Xie Chen said without changing his expression, "What a coincidence, I just happened to have booked a room here."
Bai Liu didn't believe him.
But the little brother in her arms was very anxious and opened his paws, wanting Xie Chen to hold him.
Xie Chen reached out his hand, about to take the kitten.
suddenly--
Bai Liu's gaze fell behind him, and after seeing what the woman rushing towards him was holding, he shouted sharply, "Watch out!!!"
Xie Chen instinctively turned to the side, only to realize as he tried to dodge that the woman was about to splash something on Bai Li.
He couldn't stop him in time, so he simply reached out and blocked it.
This smells so pungent, we can't let Lili get it on her.
Bai Li watched helplessly as Xie Chen's arm became stained with an unknown liquid, which was also corrosive.
He was terrified.
"Meow!"
gentlemen!
The kitten, realizing what was happening, instantly burst into tears and began scratching the crazy woman with fury.
