From the moment Bai Li started taking orders, Xie Chen followed her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
This distance is such that Lili won't see it, but it's not too far either, so that if anything happens, I can't get there in time.
soon.
Xie Chen arrived at the flower bed, where the red dot on the locator was located.
"Lili?"
Xie Chen looked around and called out.
I called out several times, but there was still no response to my meows.
"strangeness."
In such a small space, Xie Chen believed his eyesight was fine.
But he looked at them all and couldn't catch even the slightest trace of a white figure.
The driver was also looking, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.
Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.
Xie Chen frowned, staring at the red dot in deep thought.
When Daniel finished making Bai Li's wearable phone, he confidently declared that every function of the phone was top-notch.
This phone charged him a high fee, but in the end, the location tracking was inaccurate?
Suppressing his anger, Xie Chen continued his search, refusing to believe it, and this time he even ventured into the garden.
As he passed the flowerbed, his leather shoes stepped on fallen leaves.
"Meow—"
A familiar howl suddenly erupted from the pile of fallen leaves.
Xie Chen: "..."
Xie Chen stepped aside, his expression momentarily stunned for a few seconds.
He looked down at the pile of fallen leaves that was making the meowing sound, and squatted down in disbelief.
Just as he squatted down, a little kitten with a few yellow leaves on its head sat in the pile of leaves, looking at him with teary eyes, half-hugging its tail.
"Meow."
The kitten was still whimpering, complaining that its owner had stepped on its tail.
Xie Chen rubbed his temples, picked up the kitten whose eyes were brimming with tears of grievance, and then reached out to rub its tail.
"Don't cry, it's okay. It's my fault."
Xie Chen, who is always cold and assertive in front of outsiders, is incredibly quick to apologize to the little kitten in his arms. Not only does he apologize, but he also patiently comforts the kitten.
"I called you many times just now, Lili, didn't you hear me?"
Bai Li did not hear it.
When he came back, he was so tired that he couldn't concentrate on walking at all.
Before he fell asleep, he gathered up a pile of fallen leaves and buried himself in them.
Xie Chen carried the aggrieved kitten to the car and let him continue sleeping.
Before Bai Li closed her eyes, she was still meowing indistinctly, her paws tugged at Xie Chen's hand.
"Sir, give me a bath." His white fur was all dirty; he needed a bath before the master could hold him.
Xie Chen told the seafood shop owner, who knew that Bai Li hadn't been feeling well these past two days, and even brought out two good fish from the shop.
"Thank you, Brother Xie."
The shop owner smiled warmly and said, "Take this fish home."
"It's to help Lili recover, so you can eat some too."
The boss had already promised to prepare a whole fish feast for Bai Li, but since Bai Li was unwell, he sent the fish over ahead of time so that Bai Li could try it first.
Xie Chen originally wanted to pay, but the boss resolutely refused to accept it.
Back when he was a huge fan of Xie Chen, he even sent him gifts, though those gifts were all returned...
He was overjoyed to be able to send Xie Chen two fish.
afternoon.
Xie Chen gave Bai Li a bath and then took him to the company.
At the company entrance, Huang Fang, who had just been laid off, suddenly barged in.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, I beg you, please let me go."
Huang Fang rushed towards them, her voice shrill: "Please, don't let the lawyer sue me..."
Lawyers filed a lawsuit, and the industry boycotted the case.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Huang Fang, who has children to raise and a mortgage to pay.
Her husband was having an affair and had long since lost interest in her. He never asked his family for money.
Now that she has no income, she is facing a lawsuit and has to compensate the Xie family. Huang Fang has truly been driven to desperation.
The security guards restrained Huang Fang, preventing her from getting any closer to Xie Chen.
The chaotic scene woke up the kitten that was sleeping in Xie Chen's arms.
"Meow?"
Bai Li yawned, looked up, and stared at Huang Fang, who looked like a madwoman.
Xie Chen covered his eyes and replied softly, "It's nothing, don't worry about her."
He held the kitten, not even sparing Huang Fang a second glance.
When someone leaks company data in an attempt to swindle the company in order to switch jobs, they should consider the consequences if the matter comes to light.
Such a person does not deserve sympathy.
Xie Chen led Bai Li into the company, while behind him, Huang Fang, being escorted out by security guards, looked at Xie Chen's indifferent expression and thought of the cat in his arms. Her eyes were filled with hatred that seemed to bleed.
"Even if I didn't do those things, you would still fire me!"
Huang Fang roared behind him, "That cat... you know I kicked your cat, you know I don't like that little beast, so you're deliberately targeting me."
She already knew how ruthless Xie Chen was.
Therefore, after discovering that the other party was holding a little beast that she wanted to harm, even though Xie Chen didn't say a word, she could feel that she would definitely be plotted against by Xie Chen.
She betrayed the company in order to protect herself and for a better future.
Huang Fang shifted all the blame onto Bai Li, who hadn't said a word.
It seems that only in this way can she conceal her suspicious, greedy, and vicious nature.
"You little beast...you ruined me."
"I won't let you get away with this, and neither will Xie Chen. I won't let either of you get away with this."
Killing a cat is not illegal.
Since Xie Chen refuses to let her go, then she will also let Xie Chen experience what pain is!
He cherished that little kitten, so she killed that cat!
Huang Fang's eyes were filled with such hatred that they seemed to bleed.
The person and cat she hated were enjoying the warm air from the air conditioner and eating ice cream in the company.
There is a small refrigerator in the office.
Anna had stocked the refrigerator with plenty of food, including all kinds of snacks and fruits.
When Xie Chen opened the refrigerator and let the kitten choose snacks, the country bumpkin kitten immediately picked out ice cream, which he had never seen before.
The ice cream was both cool and sweet.
Bai Li took a small lick and felt her drowsiness disappear.
"Meow!"
tasty!
Xie Chen held the ice cream, while Bai Li held Xie Chen's hand and leaned in to lick it.
Anna, who came in to deliver documents, was stunned when she saw the cat eating ice cream.
"Boss, you can't let the cat in—"
“He can eat it,” Xie Chen replied calmly.
If it's a regular cat, of course it shouldn't eat this.
But the kitten sitting on his lap—forget ice cream, it can eat anything a person can eat—is a perfectly capable freeloader.
Bai Li licked her ice cream contentedly, her eyes narrowing with happiness.
Xie Chen only ate a small amount of ice cream. He was worried that Xie Chen would get a cold stomach, so after letting him try it, he put the ice cream back in the refrigerator.
Bai Li looked longingly at the closed refrigerator door, really wanting to take out the ice cream.
But there was no chance.
He was placed under Xie Chen's nose? He even had to raise his paw and report before going to use the cat litter box.
In the afternoon, apart from eating, Bai Li was only sober for a short time.
Busy at the company.
Xie Chen stayed in the office until it was completely dark before he was almost done with his work.
“Lili”.
It was 8:30 when Xie Chen picked up the drowsy kitten and carried it outside: "Bai Liu called and said she wants to see you tonight."
Hearing her brother's name, Bai Li barely opened her eyes: "Meow?"
Sixth Brother.
"Your sixth brother should be waiting for you at home."
Xie Chen now knows that Bai Li has six older brothers and sisters.
Currently, he only knows one person, Tan Yi, and one person, Bai Liu.
He could handle these two people, but he didn't know what Lili's other older brothers and sisters were like.
A person and a cat walked out of the company. The white curly-haired cat squatting at the door turned around after hearing the footsteps.
"Why did it get so late?"
Bai Liu frowned. He was naturally good-looking, and even after spending so many nights in the lab, he didn't have a single pimple on his face, and there were hardly any dark circles under his eyes.
When Bai Li saw Sixth Brother, she quickly meowed to greet him.
"Come here, let your brother give you a hug."
Bai Liu, who had worked hard for a long time, took his younger brother from him, lowered his head, and took a breath of his brother's cigarette.
Xie Chen frowned slightly, but didn't show anything unusual on his face.
When Bai Liu arrived, he was driving a car, a very cool convertible sports car.
He took his younger brother and got into his car. Xie Chen saw this and held the car door shut.
“Lili tends to fall asleep in the car, so this car isn’t suitable for taking him along.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Liu winked at Xie Chen.
Next second.
The boy with white-streaked curly hair lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, looking at his younger brother in his arms.
"Lili, do you want to ride in Xie Chen's car?"
Bai Li paused for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Before he could answer, Bai Liu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Fine, my dear Lili, go ride in his car. He often gives you rides, so you're probably used to it."
"Sixth Brother's car... is not as good as his."
As Bai Liu spoke, a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes: "It's because Sixth Brother wasn't careful enough. He only thought that Lili would like a cool car, without considering anything else."
After this whole conversation, Bai Li sat comfortably in Bai Liu's lap, not wanting to get up at all.
"Meow, meow meow."
Sixth Brother's car is great, I like Sixth Brother's car.
The considerate and soft-hearted kitten's eyes were filled with heartache when it heard Sixth Brother's words.
This is the car that Sixth Brother bought for him to take him around; he likes it!
"So, is Lili going to ride in Sixth Brother's car?"
"Um!"
Bai Limiao was very determined; from now on, as long as Sixth Brother was around, he would ride in Sixth Brother's car.
Otherwise, Sixth Brother will be sad.
Xie Chen, whose hand was still on the car door: "..."
Can.
Bai Li's sixth brother seems to have perfectly mastered something: the art of language.
Having decided whose car she would ride in, Bai Li tilted her head back and meowed to Xie Chen, "Sir, I'll ride back in Sixth Brother's car."
Xie Chen gave Bai Liu a cool look.
Bai Liu looked up and, when the kitten wasn't paying attention, gave him a provocative look.
You want to take it from me?
When I was robbing Lili, you didn't even know where you were.
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but Bai Liu had already gotten into the car.
He closed the convertible top, giving up the night breeze.
"Mr. Xie, could you please move your hand a little?"
Bai Liu closed the car door tightly, stepped on the gas, and sped off with his younger brother in the car.
Inside the car.
Bai Li is talking to Sixth Brother Miaomiao.
"Lili, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. We're going to rescue someone."
Bai Li tilted her head, somewhat confused: "Save whom?"
"The man I met on the yacht last time, he got dumped, and that scumbag is coming to find him."
"Sixth Brother will take you to take down the scumbags."
Bai Li didn't know what "abusing scum" meant, but when he heard Sixth Brother mention that person, he tried hard to recall for a long time and seemed to have some impression of him.
"Meow, meow meow meow."
Sixth Brother, is he the handsome man with long hair?
Bai Liu paused for a moment: "It's him. What? He picked you up too?"
"Yes."
Bai Li, who was picked up, went over her story with Sixth Brother and discovered that the man who picked up two cats that night was indeed the same one.
That man's experience was rather tragic.
Bai Liu thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to go with Sixth Brother to see that unlucky guy.
What were the brothers thinking about and saying during their conversation? Before they knew it, they were talking about transformation.
Bai Liu never mentioned it, but in fact, the matter of Li Li transforming into human form had always been a taut string in his heart.
He never let go of it for a moment, but even with his reputation as a little genius in the human world, he couldn't help his beloved younger brother take human form.
“Lili”.
Bai Liu's throat tightened, and she gripped the steering wheel, but still managed to give her younger brother a little lesson on human transformation.
"If one day you feel that your body has a persistent fever, excessive sleepiness, or other abnormal reactions, either you are sick, or you may be about to transform into human form."
"The first transformation is crucial. If you can successfully transform on the first try, you will continue to transform in the future. The frequency of transformation is not fixed, but it will stabilize in the later stages."
"By the way, if..."
Bai Liu felt a sharp pain in his heart as he spoke, but he persisted in speaking.
"If you show any signs of wanting to transform, be sure to tell your brother immediately."
"In the early stages of transformation, when things are very unstable, there can be many adverse effects, such as temporary loss of memory, and the body's functions may not be properly regulated, resulting in temporary blindness, deafness, or loss of voice. There have been examples of this on Monster Mountain."
This is why all the cats can only come out after their human form has stabilized if they want to descend the mountain.
It's because the process of a cat transforming into human form is too complicated and troublesome, and there are a lot of adverse reactions. While on the mountain, there are relatives to take care of the cat, but once it comes down from the mountain, there will be risks involved in transforming again.
For someone like Bai Li, who was sent down the mountain before she could even take human form, it was truly a helpless situation.
Bai Liu's popular science article is quite long.
Bai Li was trying hard to listen, but as he listened, his eyelids started to droop.
