"Meow!"
Good morning.
After taking a detour, Bai Li found the pet hospital from yesterday and greeted Dr. Qiu He, who was already there, crisply.
Qiu He was doing some calculations at her computer when she saw him arrive, and immediately gave him a warm smile: "Oh, you're here."
"Your brothers have just woken up, go and see them."
Bai Li nodded and went to the cat's den to check on the younger brothers who were staying there.
Yesterday's IV drips and injections were effective for Dian Dian and Da Hui; they both seemed to be in much better spirits.
"Meow meow".
Big brother!
The three underlings had all gotten up and were rolling around on the floor playing. When they saw Bai Li, they all surrounded him, trying to rub against him affectionately.
Bai Li waved his paw, signaling them to sit down one by one. Once they were all seated, he placed the dried fish hanging around his neck in front of them.
"This is breakfast," Bai Li said. "Come and eat."
The dried anchovies were crispy and crunchy, and both patients, Dian Dian and Da Hui, ate quite a lot of them.
The housekeeper gave them too many fried dried fish, and they couldn't finish them all in one meal. They put the rest next to Dian Dian and entrusted them to him for safekeeping.
Dian Dian and Da Hui still need to be on IV drips. Dr. Qiu He said they need to be on IV drips for at least three days.
The daily treatment cost two hundred yuan. Although the doctor gave us some money, it was barely enough to treat Dian Dian and Da Hui.
Bai Li also needs to earn money to help them recover, as well as to repay her husband.
"Meow."
Bai Li let Diandian and Da Hui play here, while he took Meimei and turned to find Dr. Qiu He.
Qiu He was already preparing the medicine. He shook the medicine bottle and said with a smile, "I know, I'll keep an eye on them. I'll continue the IV drip for them later."
"Meow!"
Okay, then Meimei and I are going out.
Bai Li politely said goodbye to Qiu He and continued to look for the grocery store to pull the small cart.
Although pulling the small trailer is tiring, it's currently the only job Bai Li can find.
If you work hard, you can earn tens of yuan a day. If you work hard for a few days, you can buy good cat food!
Soon, the kitten reappeared on the roadside, huffing and puffing as it pulled the trailer.
Inside the villa.
Xie Chen, who had just woken up, drew back the curtains and looked at the sunlight outside, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.
That's so rare.
He actually had such a wonderful dream.
"gentlemen."
Uncle Xie was surprised to see him so energetic: "You, you yesterday..."
Xie Chen didn't reply. He changed his clothes and came out, looking unusually relaxed and at ease.
"Where's the little kitten?"
In a good mood, Xie Chen thought of the little kitten that kept meowing outside his room last night and decided to go see it.
This little sticky creature, I wonder if it's awake yet.
Uncle Xie understood the meaning behind his words and said with a smile, "The cat ate some dried fish and is playing inside. If you want to see him, I'll go and get him right now."
"Um."
Xie Chen sat down at the dining table and casually responded.
Uncle Xie turned around to hug the cat and planned to make two outfits for it today. Nowadays, many cat owners prepare some little clothes for their cats, which look quite nice.
The breakfast was light and healthy. Xie Chen finished his breakfast before Uncle Xie, pale-faced and in a daze, walked over.
"gentlemen."
Uncle Xie, recalling the footage he had just seen on the surveillance camera, stammered, "The cat is gone."
Xie Chen: "?"
“He took the dried fish and ran away.” Uncle Xie said heartbrokenly, “Is our family not well-off enough? Why does this little kitten always run away?”
Xie Chen narrowed his cold eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
A moment later, he stood up and said indifferently, "Let him run, let him run."
Uncle Xie was so immersed in his sadness that he didn't even notice that his husband's good mood had vanished in an instant.
Bai Li's route pulling the small trailer overlaps with Xie Chen's route to work for a portion of the time.
Sitting in the car, Xie Chen looked out the window at the kittens pulling the cart with all their might, his eyes cold and deep.
"Sir." The driver also noticed the kitten and asked, "Do you still need me to go with it today?"
"unnecessary."
Xie Chen said calmly, "Go to the company."
He took a kitten home without saying goodbye once, but he couldn't possibly take it home a second time.
The driver, having received instructions, kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and drove dutifully to the company.
All day long.
Bai Li was outside pulling the tow truck with all her might, while Xie Chen sat in his office, handling a variety of complicated official duties.
"boss."
Secretary Anna knocked on the door and came in after receiving permission.
"The endorsement of our menswear brand by Tan Yi is coming to an end this season. After conducting research and calculations, the advertising and finance departments have submitted this data sheet."
"According to data, Tan Yi has a very high commercial value."
Anna's meaning was clear. To put it bluntly, she was saying, "Boss, we should renew the contract. Having Tan Yi as our spokesperson is a good deal!"
Xie Chen took the report and looked at it carefully.
Let's continue.
He signed the document: "Let the Ministry of Commerce handle the negotiations."
Anna received the instructions and went out to do the work. Xie Chen, on the other hand, kept glancing at the documents in his hand and then at the computer screen, busy and bored.
Night falls.
Xie Chen didn't see the little kitten with its paws flailing by the roadside this time. He expressionlessly rolled down the car window and told the driver to take him back to the villa.
Inside the villa.
Bai Li, who had just settled her belongings under the overpass, was now struggling to climb out of the window.
He's still worried.
The gentleman was entangled by that black fog last night; if he hadn't discovered it, he probably wouldn't have slept well all night.
Today, he also plans to come and stay with the gentleman!
After finally managing to climb through the window that wasn't closed properly, Bai Li scurried under the bed, sat on the floor, and took something out of the small pocket around her neck.
He earned a total of 90 yuan after a day's work, and secretly kept 80 yuan for himself. He spent 1 yuan on steamed buns, gave some to Dian Dian, Da Hui, and Mei Mei, and bought three cat treats for 6 yuan. He had 3 yuan left, which he used to buy his husband a very shiny ring on the roadside!
That sparkly ring is exactly the same as the one Tan Yi is wearing in the poster.
I love the sparkly white Li; I was instantly captivated by this ring when I first saw it.
The ring originally cost five yuan, but the saleswoman said he was cute, so she gave him a two-yuan discount.
Bai Li thought that since the gentleman was already so handsome, wearing something sparkly would definitely make him look even better.
Time passed slowly, but the man still did not return.
Bai Li clutched the ring and yawned.
"Meow."
I'm so sleepy.
Under the pitch-black bed, the chubby little kitten, after yawning one after another, finally couldn't resist, tilted its head, and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Chen, still feeling a chill, returned from outside and finally pushed open the door.
He has severe mysophobia; the first thing he does when he gets back is take a shower and change his clothes.
The sound of water and the soft noise of changing clothes made Bai Li, who was still half asleep, slowly stretch and sit up.
"Meow."
He made a blank, dazed sound.
Xie Chen, who had just changed his clothes: "?"
What was that sound?
After meowing, Bai Li almost immediately realized that he was still under the bed!
In an instant, Bai Li raised her paw and slapped her mouth shut, her eyes wide as she nervously watched the footsteps approaching the bedside.
He only made that sound by accident, he shouldn't get caught, right?
Xie Chen stood there, listening carefully for a moment. When there were no more meows, he frowned and muttered, "Is it an illusion?"
It's just a special little kitten. Before going to sleep, I hugged his ankle and shed tears for him. When I woke up, he disappeared with his dried fish.
The indifferent Xie Chen thought to himself, "What's there to care about in this heartless little kitten?"
From now on, that "good person" card from the little kitten will be invalidated with him.
Bai Li waited under the bed for a long time.
Xie Chen sat on the bed, with his phone and computer in front of him.
He had a lot of photos sent to him by drivers on his phone, which he saved yesterday.
The kitten in the photo is sometimes pulling a trailer, sometimes running to the tap to drink water, and sometimes sitting on the roadside panting and resting when it is too tired.
One of the photos shows him eating a white flour steamed bun he bought.
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, looking at the word "delete" at the bottom of the photo. After a long while, he pursed his thin lips and exited the album.
The night grew deeper.
Xie Chen lay in bed, and as before, he still had a hard time falling asleep.
His bedside table was piled with his usual medications, many different kinds, scattered about.
I was originally going to eat, but for some reason, I started thinking about what happened yesterday.
The little kitten's heavy bottom pressed against his feet, and it looked up at him with teary eyes, saying in a sobbing voice, "Don't die."
When he took the kitten away, he saw that the kitten's eyes were wet and it kept staring at the pills.
Xie Chen could naturally guess that the little guy was afraid that he would die from taking the medicine.
After a while, Xie Chen actually felt sleepy without needing to take any medicine.
The room lights are off.
Bai Li, who could see clearly in the dark, stealthily extended her claws.
He's going to drive away the black fog for his master!
The black mist spread upwards from the ground, growing ever thicker. After patting the ground clean, Bai Li heard that there was no more movement on the bed, so she jumped onto the bed, sat on Xie Chen's chest, and vigorously clapped her paws.
Without a doubt, Xie Chen had another peaceful night.
After shattering the black mist, Bai Li looked down at Xie Chen, who was asleep.
"Sir, you are so handsome."
After he finished speaking, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around and the person in question was asleep, he boldly reached out his paw and touched Xie Chen's handsome face.
Even when he was asleep, his face was so perfect that it seemed to be a creation of God.
After touching her face, Bai Li shook her head and began to morally condemn herself: "This is wrong..."
Touching someone's face indiscriminately, as Third Brother once said, is the act of a lecher.
He... he's become a lecherous cat!
The newly minted lecherous cat was filled with guilt and fear. After a long while, he guiltily and with a sense of making amends, he put the sparkling ring on Xie Chen's slender and handsome finger.
After putting on the ring and chasing away the black fog, Bai Li climbed out the window again at dawn.
He can't keep getting free fish snacks all the time, so he'll just sneak over and keep an eye on the gentleman like this.
Bai Li, who had run away, went back to sleep under the overpass for a while.
As for Xie Chen...
Ever since he woke up, he has been looking at the ring on his finger.
The ring looks like a cheap roadside item, the kind you often see displayed outside elementary schools.
Xie Chen wasn't complaining about the ring's poor quality, nor was he worried that it might be possessed by an evil spirit—
He was just thinking about how to get the ring off.
It's too tight; I can't move at all.
