Bai Li pressed a few buttons on the screen and skillfully entered her birthday.
He unlocked the phone and answered it.
"Hey, Xie Chen."
On the other end of the phone, Yan Cen's voice sounded somewhat urgent: "Xiao Xi, my cat, he has transformed into human form."
"But since he took human form, his breathing has become weaker and weaker. Do you have a doctor who can examine him? Ordinary doctors won't do..."
Yan Cen called and rattled off a long string of words.
Bai Li was a little confused.
A few seconds later, he realized: "Blackie has successfully transformed?"
Yan Cen was taken aback, clearly not expecting this unfamiliar voice.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Brother Hei's underling."
Bai Li spoke honestly, and then added, "I'm still Xie Chen's cat."
Upon hearing this, Yan Cen asked the same question again: "Could you help me find Xie Chen and ask him if he can recommend a doctor for me?"
"Yes, you can."
Bai Li readily agreed: "My fourth brother can treat little monsters. Tell me the address, and I'll have him go there."
Upon hearing this, Yan Cen gave him the address without any hesitation.
As soon as Bai Li hung up the phone, a pair of hands pulled him from behind.
"Lili, who are you answering the phone with?"
"It's Yan Cen."
Bai Li, still looking down at Xie Chen's phone, asked, "Sir, may I use your phone to make a call to my brother?"
"Can."
With Xie Chen's permission, Bai Li found her older brother's phone number in her contacts and dialed it directly.
After a short while, Bai Laosi, who was about to take a nap, got out of his cage again to rescue the eldest brother his younger brother had recognized.
Inside the ward.
After Bai Li arranged for his fourth brother to rescue Blackfoot Cat, he put down his phone and finally had a moment to talk to Xie Chen.
"Sir? You were sleeping just now, so I answered the phone for you."
Bai Li obediently reported the contents of Yan Cen's phone call in detail.
When Xie Chen woke up, he had already heard half of the report. Now that Xie Chen had finished, he rubbed Xie Chen's head and asked, "How did you guess my password?"
Mentioning this, Bai Li immediately became smug: "I know, sir, your phone, computer, and tablet—all the password-protected ones have my birthday on them!"
There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Xie Chen's eyes.
He teased the cat on purpose: "Who said it's your birthday? That's clearly the birthday of someone I used to know." Bai Li didn't believe him.
He smiled and snuggled into Xie Chen's arms, playfully teasing him.
What's mine is mine.
Bai Li nestled in his arms like a bull, and Xie Chen, worried that it would hurt his head, quickly reached out to shield him.
A moment later.
When the doctor came to make rounds, after performing routine examinations on Bai Li and Xie Chen, no problems were found.
"Let's observe for another two days."
Just to be on the safe side, the doctors didn't let them leave the hospital immediately.
Bai Li nodded and watched the doctor leave.
"Sir, I feel better."
Bai Li didn't dare to say a word in front of the doctor, but now that the doctor isn't here, she dared to speak to Xie Chen.
"You had another fever last night, sweetie, let's wait a bit longer, until you're completely better before we talk about it."
Bai Li naturally listened to everything Xie Chen said.
He sat on the bed and conceded, "Fine."
Then he'll be discharged from the hospital later.
Bai Li went in and out of the hospital. When she left, she had transformed into a kitten. When she returned, she had transformed into human form, but it was already late at night.
Therefore, Guan Liang, who was holding the flowers, waited for him all day but no one came.
Guan Liang was not discouraged and came again early the next morning.
This time, he didn't come alone, but with the Duan family.
After the Duan family rescued Duan Ningqi and her condition stabilized temporarily, they personally came to the hospital to formally and solemnly thank Bai Li.
The Duan family is considered a wealthy and prestigious clan. If it weren't for Bai Li, the news of the Duan family's daughter committing suicide at her birthday banquet would definitely have dominated the front page.
How will outsiders view the Duan family then...?
The most concerned about his reputation, Old Master Duan, felt both angry at Duan Ningqi's behavior and knew he had to clean up the mess.
Several people entered the ward.
Aside from Duan's parents, Xie Chen's eyelids twitched as he looked at the last pipe beam.
"Thank you so much for what happened to A Ning."
Duan's mother placed the gift box she had brought on the table and spoke gently to Bai Li, "She's still under observation. Once she's better, I'll have her come to thank you in person."
"You're welcome."
Bai Li felt a little guilty. He had only wanted to call for help by the pool that day, not to go into the water.
He can't swim.
Mr. and Mrs. Duan insisted on expressing their gratitude, and Bai Li had no choice but to let them.
"Oh, right."
Bai Li asked, "Is Duan Ningqi also staying in this hospital?"
"I live here."
As Duan's mother spoke, she also told him the ward number. Bai Li wrote down the ward number, planning to find an opportunity to go and see it.
Listening to their interaction, especially Bai Li asking about Duan Ningqi's address, Xie Chen felt inexplicably irritated.
After finally getting rid of Mr. and Mrs. Duan, Guan Liang, who had remained silent and acted like a ghost at the ward door, finally started to make his presence known.
"Bai Li, this is for you. I hope you recover soon."
Guan Liang handed the carefully selected flowers to Bai Li, his voice trembling with nervousness.
Bai Li looked at Guan Liang, then at the flower, and asked suspiciously, "Is this flower poisonous?"
Guan Liang: "???"
Guan Liang looked completely bewildered: "It's not poisonous. I just thought the flower was very pretty, so I wanted to give it to you."
Bai Li was completely baffled, unable to understand why this person, who was still on his grudge list, would send him flowers for no apparent reason.
"I don't want to."
The obedient kitten in front of Xie Chen is a cold and ruthless cat in front of those who hold grudges.
Guan Liang felt a little upset after being rejected so decisively.
"Bai Li, I genuinely want to be your friend."
He said sincerely, "Could you consider me for a moment? Let's just be ordinary friends."
"Not considering it."
The cold-blooded cat, like an emotionless killer, continued to refuse Guan Liang: "You're a bad person. I heard you talking about Duan Ningqi."
Guan Liang: "..."
Guan Liang's face flushed; he really couldn't deny what he had said.
He was spoiled terribly from a young age, so his personality is a bit eccentric, and he has a sharp tongue; he doesn't speak very nicely.
But apart from being a smart aleck, he has no other flaws.
"I'll change in the future, please give me a chance, okay?"
Guan Liang was immediately struck by Bai Li's face; he was amazed at first glance, then again, and finally couldn't take his eyes off her.
Bai Li shook her head coldly.
I won't give it to you.
Guan Liang's young heart shattered into pieces. He looked at Bai Li, still trying to think of the right words.
After hearing Bai Li's several rejections, Xie Chen's gloom lessened somewhat.
"Lili needs to rest, so we won't keep you any longer."
He spoke coldly, ordering Guan Liang to leave.
Perhaps it was because he was in front of Bai Li that Guan Liang also appeared to be in a good-natured manner.
"Alright, let Bai Li rest."
Guan Liang said, "I'll come see him again next time."
"No need."
Xie Chen showed him no mercy: "Lili made it very clear that he doesn't want to be friends with you, and you don't need to come here again."
The pipe beam did not respond.
Although he was afraid of Xie Chen, he was known for his stubbornness.
If he says he wants to be friends with Bai Li, then he will definitely achieve his goal.
"I will come to see Bai Li again."
Guan Liang left after saying this, without even looking at Xie Chen and Bai Li's expressions, and ran away.
Bai Li: "..."
He seems to be sick.
"gentlemen?."
Bai Li watched Guan Liang, who appeared to be ill, leave, then turned to look at Xie Chen.
Xie Chen's expression was very unpleasant at the moment.
After Bai Li called out to him, she herself was stunned for a moment.
He reached out and tugged at Xie Chen's sleeve, wondering what was wrong with him.
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, adjusting his emotions quickly, and his expression had returned to normal.
Bai Li tilted her head, stared at Xie Chen's face for a few seconds, and then spoke to him.
Xie Chen sat on the edge of the bed, listening to him speak, occasionally responding with a few words.
Bai Li didn't mention Duan Ningqi, nor did she mention the Duan Ningqi who had just arrived.
His intuition told him that it would be safer not to mention these things in front of Mr. [Name].
Bai Li sleeps a lot? She spoke for a short while, then fell silent.
After he fell asleep, Xie Chen looked down at his face, and the emotion in his eyes was chilling.
“Lili”.
In the silence, Xie Chen leaned down and placed a kiss on Bai Li's smooth forehead.
"Stay by my side and be a good girl. You don't need to pay attention to anyone else or anything else. Understand?"
All he needs to do is trust him, rely on him, and never leave him—that's enough for the little kitten he picked up.
In a kitten's eyes and heart, besides its blood relatives, there are also ordinary cats who are not human. There's no need to include other humans.
Bai Li didn't hear a word of Xie Chen's whisper.
He was fast asleep, one hand clutching Xie Chen's fingers, his fair face radiating innocence.
Xie Chen just stared at him for a long time, and even without doing anything, he didn't feel bored at all.
The news of the black-footed cat arrived in the evening.
Bai Laosi came to the hospital to visit his younger brother again, and also brought news about the Black-footed Cat.
"You made it through, you didn't die."
Bai Si briefly and bluntly explained the result. Seeing his younger brother staring at him expectantly, he added, "When I left him, he had just woken up and was still a little dazed. Yan Cen was watching him."
"I thought Yan Cen looked like he was about to kick the bucket, so I just showed it to him."
"How was the viewing?" Bai Li asked anxiously.
Blackie told him that Yan Cen's illness was very serious, so serious that the only way to save him was through a marriage of convenience.
Bai Si thought for a moment and replied, "His illness has been going on for a long time and needs to be treated slowly. Hmm, I should prescribe him a year's worth of medicine."
"Will taking the medicine for a year make me better?"
Yes, I will.
Bai Si patted his younger brother's head; it was soft and felt nice to the touch.
"How could he not be cured if Fourth Brother treats him?"
Bai Li listened with admiration, tilting his head back and looking at his fourth brother with worship.
"Fourth Brother, you're amazing!"
Bai Li never expected that his fourth brother, who used to only carry him to sleep, would actually evolve into a good doctor!
Bai Si listened to his younger brother's flattery with a clear conscience, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction.
The interaction between the two brothers, as observed by Xie Chen, left him with no other reaction but to remain wary.
Xie Chen remembered clearly that Bai Si came by yesterday and left without a word, but he took Lili away with him.
today……
He couldn't relax for a moment.
Bai Si stayed in the ward, lingering there. It was unclear whether he wanted to stay with his younger brother, or if he was looking for another opportunity to snatch him away.
