Chapter 38 was first published on Jinjiang Literature City.



Night owl Lin Chao finished sharing the audio and added a few more sentences.

Sigh, you're the only one who liked my post.

Listen quickly, and remember to delete it afterward. I risked my life to share this with you.

I listened to it again, and it's actually quite nice. I even want to get a cat now.

Lin Chao always talked a lot of nonsense. Bai Liu glanced at the chat box and then closed it expressionlessly.

He didn't believe Lin Chao could share anything good. Last time, this guy shared several gigabytes of resources with him, and then claimed it was a slip of the hand.

He didn't know it was a resource at the time, and with other visitors in the laboratory, he casually opened it to take a look.

That day...

He still doesn't want to recall what happened that day.

Bai Liu had just returned to his residence from the laboratory, taken a shower, and was about to go to sleep when, for some reason, he inexplicably thought of the meowing sound Lin Chao had mentioned.

I'll trust you one more time.

Bai Liu said in a low voice, "If you dare to play tricks on me again, you're finished."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy in his pajamas opened the audio file in the chat box.

"Meow, meow, meow!"

Bai Liu: "..."

Bai Liu's delicate face went blank for a few seconds.

“Lili”.

He stared at his phone in disbelief, playing the audio clip over and over again.

After hearing the cat song for the third time, Bai Liu closed his eyes and confirmed it.

This really is the little kitten he cherishes most.

Here, Lin Chao finished sharing the audio, and after his self-destructive act, he neatly deleted the post from his WeChat Moments. He then put his arm around Diao Ling, who had come to find him, and they prepared to go upstairs to have some fun.

But Bai Liu's phone rang urgently.

"Mr. Lin, where did you hear the audio from?"

Lin Chao was taken aback for a moment, then truthfully told the young genius he admired, "It was Xie Chenfa. His hand slipped a little, so don't spread it around—"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Liu told him that she had something to do and said goodbye.

"Hmm."

Lin Chao was a little puzzled: "Why do I feel like Xiao Liu is acting strange?"

Diao Ling leaned against Lin Chao's chest, her smile sweet, but also wary of the person who had called earlier.

"Brother Lin, who called you just now? Why did you seem to be treating him so nicely?"

Receiving a phone call in the middle of the night, and still being so patient and good-tempered, made Diao Ling unable to help but overthink things.

"He is a child prodigy."

Lin Chao himself wasn't good at studying, so he admired people who were good at studying, especially Bai Liu. He was an absolute Bai Liu fanboy.

"Xiao Liu is a very nice person. She is the smartest, humble, kind and considerate person I have ever met."

Diao Ling's lips twitched. Hearing Lin Chao shower Xiao Liu with all sorts of compliments, she became even more wary.

"Brother Lin, it's late?"

Diao Ling nestled against Lin Chao, tracing circles on his body with her fingers: "Let's go upstairs."

"Okay, let's go."

As the night deepened, some people indulged in sensual pleasures, while others snored away.

The next day.

In the brightly lit hotel room, a snoring kitten was warmly bathed in the sunlight streaming into the room. Then, it slowly stretched out its paws, half-awake.

Tan Yi gets up early; when he's busy with work, he's often like that—waking up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog.

"Let Lili sleep in the hotel, I'll come pick him up later."

"So, should we leave him here with just his cat?"

The agent hesitated and said, "I have to go with you."

Besides her agent, Tan Yi also has a personal assistant, but the assistant has had some family matters to attend to these past few days and has asked Tan Yi for leave, so she hasn't been able to come back yet.

"You stay here."

Tan Yi said, "Buy him some breakfast; he can eat human breakfast."

"After he finishes eating, bring him to me."

The agent frowned, somewhat disapproving of the arrangement: "Brother Tan, Liu Yi is also in the film crew you're going to; he's playing the second male lead this time."

"I'm still worried about you, maybe...?"

"It's nothing," Tan Yi said calmly. "It's just Liu Yi, how could I possibly handle him?"

"Just do as I say. You just need to take good care of Lili."

Despite Tan Yi's insistence, his agent had no choice but to let him go to the film set alone, while he stayed at the hotel to take care of Tan Yi's pampered kitten.

"well."

In the hotel, the agent squatted by the bed, looking at the sleeping kitten, and murmured, "You are very cute, but why do I feel that Tan Yi is paying too much attention to you? A little bit."

In the agent's eyes, the cat is just a pet; compared to the cat, the human is of course the most important.

But in Tan Yi's case, it's clear that the cat seems to carry more weight than Tan Yi herself.

After sleeping for a while, Bai Li finally woke up with a yawn.

"Meow."

His head was still spinning, and he subconsciously called out "Sir".

After calling out, no one responded.

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, regaining her senses.

"Meow meow".

Third Brother.

The agent couldn't understand what he was meowing about, but following Tan Yi's instructions, she prepared breakfast for him.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it was exactly nine o'clock.

The agent was concerned about Tan Yi's situation, so he took the snack bag that Tan Yi had left in the room, along with other cat supplies, and headed out with the kitten in his arms.

"We're going to the film set."

The agent is a chatterbox; he can keep rambling on and on, even to a kitten.

"There are a lot of people in the crew, so don't be afraid. Just don't wander off."

"Also, there's someone who looks like Tan Yi, but that's not Tan Yi. You little kitten, you absolutely mustn't mistake her for someone else."

Bai Li listened attentively to her agent's rambling.

He kept rambling on and on, and Bai Li listened the whole way.

Upon arriving at the film set, the kitten, who had been bombarded with all sorts of insider gossip and talk of potential crises, tensed up and curled its paws.

The more he hears these things, the more he wishes he could go back to work and support his third brother.

"director."

After the agent arrived on set, she put Bai Li's things away, picked Bai Li up, and went to find the director: "Did our negotiation go smoothly today?"

The director looked displeased.

"We've had several takes for the scene where we talk about feelings, and it's still not done."

Upon hearing this, the agent felt something was amiss.

Since his debut, Tan Yi has acted in quite a few dramas, and he can even carry a leading role in major male-centric dramas. How could he not act well? This time it's just a guest role.

As they spoke, Bai Li's gaze had already caught sight of Third Brother.

"Meow."

Third Brother didn't look well.

No? Under the various lights in the distance, Tan Yi is filming his scene.

In that scene, Tan Yi was accidentally ambushed and attacked by a group of people, but was eventually saved by the female lead who happened to be passing by.

It was precisely because of the female lead's rescue that Tan Yi treated her very well, and later even died for her sake.

You could say he's a very devoted supporting character, one who evokes sympathy from the audience.

Under the lens.

In the scene where Tan Yi is lying on the ground and being attacked, Tan Yi's filming was correct; the problem lies with the extras.

After several takes, the agent and director became impatient.

Only Bai Li wasn't anxious; he was angry!

"Meow!!!"

Bai Li watched as her third brother was beaten, her beautiful amber eyes filled with anger.

Seeing his reaction, his agent quickly reassured him, "Don't be silly, Tan Yi is just filming, no, he really got hit."

In these kinds of scenes, extras are always careful not to actually hurt the actors.

But Bai Li wouldn't have it. He slapped his manager's arm with his claws, even extending sharp hooks.

The agent was scratched so hard that his grip loosened, causing the man to jump out of his arms.

"Lili!"

Bai Li only had eyes for her third brother on the ground, ignoring her manager's calls.

"Meow!!!"

An angry meow followed by a cat's paw.

Bai Li has a bad memory, but his eyesight is excellent! He saw clearly who really did something underhanded just now!

"Ouch, you little beast, get out of here!"

The two extras, bleeding from the sharp claws, were in pain and reached out to kick the scratching kitten.

Originally lying on the ground, Tan Yi couldn't tell who was doing the dirty work because of the angle. But when he saw his younger brother about to get beaten up, he immediately got angry.

"Who are you calling an animal?!"

Tan Yi scooped up the still furious kitten that was about to scratch and held it in her arms, then shoved the two extras away.

But it couldn't be pushed.

Tan Yi: "..."

grass.

It's quite energetic.

The agent and director both rushed forward, with the agent protectively pulling Cha Yi behind them.

"What happened?"

Is the director short-tempered? He looked at the chaotic scene and said, "You guys are all experienced and frequently shoot like this, why is this take constantly getting stuck?!"

"Meow!"

They beat up my third brother.

The angry kitten kicked its legs, its paws scratching wildly.

Tan Yi hugged her younger brother tightly, not letting him rush up to fight.

"director."

Tan Yi said in a deep voice, "I didn't want to say it."

"During the scene just now, someone was trying to sabotage me, did you see?"

As they were talking, in front of the director, she lifted up her clothes.

His skin was fair, but the several bruises under his eyes were shocking to see.

“I know your rules. If I can’t find out who is behind this attack on me, you will fire them all.”

"But among these people, some have it not easy."

When he arrived in the morning, he overheard the group of extras chatting. He didn't know who started it, but anyway, they were having a tough time.

Tan Yi doesn't want to be a saint, but he also doesn't want to take away other people's livelihoods.

After this group of people is driven away, and no one can be found to be the culprit, they will all be accused of harming the actor, and that would be...

Other production teams probably wouldn't dare to hire him either.

After Tan Yi finished speaking, not only the director, but all the extras also understood.

"Brother Tan."

One of the extras bit his lip and only managed to call out "Tan Yi," but couldn't say anything else.

The director looked at the two people who had just tried to harm the kitten and his voice turned cold.

"Did these two people do this?"

Tan Yi believed her younger brother's judgment: "Yes."

"Where's the stage manager? Take these two people away and I need to investigate them!"

They usually do things covertly and are not easy to detect; these are all seasoned veterans.

The stagehands led the two away, and the director glanced at the rest of the uneasy group.

"What are you afraid of? You've got clean hands, I'm not going to kick you out."

The extras who managed to keep their jobs breathed a sigh of relief; with the film and television industry in a downturn, finding work is difficult for them.

This director has a bad temper, but he's a good person. If you work hard under him, you'll keep getting work.

"Tan Yi, go and treat your injury."

The director stopped Tan Yi from filming and signaled to her agent to take Tan Yi and the meowing kitten away.

After they left, one of the extras looked at Tan Yi's retreating figure and sincerely praised her.

"Tan Yi is a really good celebrity."

"Yes, if he hadn't been thinking of us, he would have made a scene long ago."

I didn't bother listening to the conversations of the extras.

He is listening to his baby brother's meows right now.

"Third Brother, are you in a lot of pain?"

After her anger subsided, Bai Li was now only left with heartache for her third brother.

He had no idea before that Third Brother's job included being beaten.

"Third brother, it doesn't hurt."

Tan Yi patted the kitten's head and coaxed him, "Those marks look scary, but they're nothing serious."

Bai Li didn't believe it.

He stretched out his paws, grabbed Third Brother's arm, and buried his head in his arm.

"It must hurt a lot." His meows were choked with emotion.

Tan Yi could feel the dampness on his arm. He couldn't soothe the kitten and was suddenly at a loss.

"Lili, be good."

Tan Yi tried to change the subject: "It's normal to fall and fight while filming."

"Do you know how much Third Brother earns for one movie? Seven figures."

Bai Li had absolutely no interest in seven-figure sums.

He just didn't want his third brother to get beaten up again.

Even after arriving at a nearby hospital, Bai Li remained silent.

The doctor treated all of Tan Yi's injuries, saying, "You're quite resilient."

"The person who did this specifically chose the most painful areas to inject. I'll prescribe some medicine for you; apply it twice a day."

"good."

After leaving the hospital, Bai Li followed Tan Yi back to the hotel.

"There's a variety show this afternoon, Lili, you stay at the hotel."

After what happened this morning, Tan Yi didn't want to bring Lili along anymore, fearing that something else might happen.

"Meow."

good.

Bai Li tilted her head back and actually responded with a "?".

In the afternoon, Tan Yi set off to record a variety show. No sooner had he left than Bai Li followed him off.

He wanted to see what had happened to the two guys who beat up his brother.

The agent went out to buy food, and when he came back, he found that the kitten was missing. He was completely dumbfounded.

"Lili?!"

He searched the entire room, even crawling under the bed, but couldn't find that small, snow-white figure.

"It's all over."

The agent slapped his forehead, his heart sinking: "If Tan Yi knew Lili was missing, he'd go crazy."

now.

The kitten, setting off to seek revenge, sniffed the familiar scent.

When he scratched those two people today, he left marks on them.

Dare to hit his third brother?

The little kitten thought fiercely, "I'm going to scratch their faces all over!"
