His lost memories, although slow, clearly would all be fully shown to him in his dreams.

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen lowered his head, kissed the little kitten’s forehead, softly murmuring his name.

Compared to dreaming, he cared more about the little kitten who had kicked him awake.

It turned out, it wasn’t that he picked up Li Li, but long, long ago, he had proactively come to Li Li’s door and formed a bond with him.

Xie Chen buried himself in the little kitten’s soft belly and nuzzled.

Li Li, still not fully awake, was forcibly woken by his husband’s nuzzling.

He let out a confused “meow.”

Hearing the sound, Xie Chen slightly controlled his emotions.

He glanced at the clock on the table—just past six, still early.

“Good boy, go back to sleep.”

Xie Chen reluctantly let go of his soft belly, hoping he would sleep a bit longer.

But the little kitten, woken up, refused to close his eyes again.

Though his heart was still conflicted, his closeness with Xie Chen couldn’t be changed.

Especially in the early morning when he was still groggy, he was even clingier to Xie Chen.

“Husband.”

The morning little kitten’s meow had a lazy tone.

His beautiful amber eyes half-opened, paws touching Xie Chen’s handsome face.

“You’re awake.”

Li Li snuggled close, rubbing his chin: “Why are you awake so early?”

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen held him up a little, pressing forehead to forehead: “I remembered something.”

Li Li was a little dazed: “What thing?”“A long time ago.”

Xie Chen slightly pulled away from him, speaking in a low, gentle tone: “When I was little, I went to Monster Mountain and saw you there.”

“I remember… how we got married.”

He thought about how the little kitten Li Li was in even worse condition back then.

And Li Li’s parents only agreed to accept this childhood marriage for one purpose—

To have Xie Chen’s presence help the little Li Li back then get out of danger.

Listening to Xie Chen talk about the marriage, Li Li couldn’t remember clearly because it was too long ago.

However, after being with his husband, he seemed to have dreamed of the past before as well.

“Husband, do you think I transformed when I was little?”

This question lingered in Li Li’s mind for some reason.

Xie Chen thought about it but still couldn’t give a definite answer.

“I don’t know.”

He stroked Li Li’s head and wasn’t too worried about the past.

He had already recalled his first meeting with Li Li, remembered their marriage, and next would be their warm daily life together.

After that, he was definitely taken away by the Divine Seer.

What happened after that, he didn’t know, and had forgotten it all.

Luckily, the future was long, and he and Li Li had many days ahead.

As they talked, Li Li transformed back into human form.

“Husband.”

Li Li lifted his head, his eyes sparkling like they hid stars.

“I want a kiss.”

Perhaps Xie Chen’s emotions had affected him, making Li Li unable to resist wanting to be closer to his husband.

Xie Chen lowered his gaze to him.

Outside, the north wind howled, but inside the room was warm and cozy.

A gentle kiss, from the forehead, slowly down to the lips.

Li Li tried hard to learn how to breathe, but still was a little clumsy at it.

“No rush.”

Xie Chen whispered softly in his ear, “I’ll teach you slowly.”The two of them, unsurprisingly, both woke up late.

Xie Chen grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom to shower. Bai Li blinked, still a little confused.

“Husband, why do you shower in the morning?”

Xie Chen’s voice was low and hoarse, but he tried his best to control his breathing so the little silly cat wouldn’t notice anything.

“Nothing, just wanted to feel a bit more refreshed.”

“Okay.”

Watching her husband enter the bathroom, Bai Li, who had learned to kiss, blushed and rolled around under the covers.

Kissing was really nice.

He wanted to keep kissing his husband forever.

The little kitten on the bed kept rolling around playing, while Xie Chen in the bathroom was taking a cold shower.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Just when Bai Li was almost falling asleep again, Xie Chen finally came out of the bathroom.

He was still wrapped in a chill. To avoid Bai Li getting cold, he deliberately warmed his hands before going to the wardrobe to get clothes for Bai Li to wear.

“Come here.”

Xie Chen picked out some cat clothes and sat at the bedside: “I’ll dress you.”

Since the little kitten had to wake up as a cat during work, Xie Chen also picked cat clothes for him.

Bai Li had many cat clothes, all kinds of colors and patterns.

Xie Bo loved making these little clothes and wished Bai Li could change outfits several times a day just to show them.

After dressing, the little kitten was carried by Xie Chen to eat, then went out to deliver orders as usual.

It was already very cold outside.

Boss Liu wore a thick down jacket and looked at all the little cats dressed in their cat clothes, bringing them warm water.

“Is it cold delivering orders now?”

As the year-end approached in the dead of winter, the boss couldn’t bear to see them out in the cold anymore.

Bai Li felt a little cold.

After all, the wind was always blowing outside. Although he looked round and chubby, he was actually still quite light.

The wind was so strong that he felt like he might be blown away when running.

“Meow.”It was a little cold.

Bai Li answered the boss on behalf of the little cats.

The boss’s expression turned thoughtful: “How about this, if you all feel it’s too cold, I’ll give you time off.”

“We’re all familiar with each other. I won’t hide it from you—the profits you cats make from deliveries are especially high.”

In the whole city, even the whole country at a large scale, there was no other organized cat delivery service besides Boss Liu’s seafood restaurant.

So, with no competitors, it was easy to imagine how good Boss Liu’s business was.

There are never a shortage of people wanting something new.

After delivering orders, the little cats would even interact with the customers, and this kind of interaction made those people want to place even more orders.

“You bring me such high profits that even if you take time off, I’m still guaranteed to make money.”

If the little cats were absent for a while, it only made their cat delivery service more precious.

The harder it was to book a cat for delivery, the more those people missed them...

It must be said, there was a definite reason why Boss Liu’s business was doing so well.

“I’ve decided, even if you take time off, you’ll get a holiday subsidy enough to live on.”

When the boss said this, all the little cats were stunned.

“Meow?”

A holiday subsidy.

“That’s right. When you’re off, I’ll give each of you a thousand every month so you can buy cat food,” the boss said kindly.

Bai Li looked at the little cats.

The little cats looked back at him.

The next moment, the cats who came to their senses all happily pounced on the boss’s legs.

“Meow, meow-ao!”

Thank you!

The grateful little cats gave Boss Liu loving rubs, some bowed with their paws, and some leaned their heads over for him to stroke.

Surrounded by cats, Boss Liu laughed: “Haha.”

So many fluffy ones to pet.

Despite Boss Liu’s promise, Bai Li and the others still decided to deliver orders for a few more days.

After all, they earned more money delivering; they needed to save up.

Day after day passed.Although Bai Li occasionally went to check the box hiding the little notes, his mood had mostly adjusted. His dad and the others didn’t like the gentleman...

Bai Li thought, it’s okay, he could bring the gentleman over so his dad and the others could take a good look.

The gentleman was so good-looking and kind to cats; maybe his dad would like him once they met!

Besides, the arranged marriage was set up by his dad and the others; there was no reason to suddenly back out.

After seriously analyzing this, the little cat—rebelliously and unusually—decided to defend his marriage with the gentleman, clenching his paws.

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen called him again: “Come accompany me to look at something.”

Hearing that, Bai Li instantly transformed from a cat to a human, slipped on Xie Chen’s shirt, and hurried over to find him.

Xie Chen saw him change shape and was a bit helpless.

“Why aren’t you wearing pajamas?”

The shirt Bai Li wore was Xie Chen’s—very loose and long. The shirt’s hem covered his thighs, so even without pants, nothing was exposed.

But whether it was exposed or not, this half-covered look gave off a different kind of meaning.

Bai Li didn’t care about Xie Chen’s feelings about the shirt; he rushed over, climbed onto Xie Chen’s lap, and squeezed himself into his arms.

“What do you want to look at?”

Xie Chen showed him a few scene setups: “I want to renovate a place recently. Help me see which style looks better to you.”

Hearing about renovation, Bai Li got excited.

He stared seriously at the pages on the computer, discussing with Xie Chen.

Honestly, the little cat’s aesthetic sense had always been a bit off.

But thankfully, Xie Chen only wanted to know what style he liked; he wouldn’t actually follow his suggestions exactly for the renovation.

After they chose for a long time, Bai Li yawned and began slacking off.

“Sir.”

He leaned back, nuzzling Xie Chen’s neck: “I don’t want to look anymore. I want to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Xie Chen was already prepared; he gently picked up the yawning sleepy cat and steadily carried him to the bedroom.

“Sleep well.”

He coaxed: “The temperature will drop even more these days. You and the other cats should rest for a few days.”

The sleepy cat nodded, drowsily responding, “I understand.”Two more days passed.

Xie Chen glanced at the calendar.

Li Li’s birthday had finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Bai Lin, Tan Yi, Bai Si, and Bai Liu all started calling him nonstop.

“Li Li’s birthday is coming, I want to celebrate with him, don’t compete with me!” This was Tan Yi.

“It’s my little brother’s birthday, there’s no way I’ll let you have it.” This was Bai Xiao Liu, sounding a bit fiery.

“Li Li, I’m taking him away tomorrow.” This was Bai Si, giving advance notice.

Only Bai Lin didn’t claim the younger brother.

“Let’s have a meal together tomorrow. I’ve prepared a gift for Li Li.”

Xie Chen calmly hung up the calls and replied to them one by one on WeChat.

Then, he took Li Li and left early.

Xie Chen owned many properties; besides the villa where he usually lived, he had several other houses in City A alone.

The day before the birthday, Xie Chen moved Bai Li, Xie Bo, and a group of little cats to a new place.

Li Li knew his birthday was coming, but Xie Chen acted very calm and didn’t mention anything about it.

Since he didn’t bring it up, Li Li couldn’t guess what he was doing.

The night before,

Mei Mei and the others had saved money to buy gifts and were excited to give them to Bai Li.

“Big brother.”

Mei Mei, as the representative of the cats, was sent to give Bai Li birthday wishes.

After saying the birthday wishes in advance, Mei Mei couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked, “Did the gentleman prepare any gifts for you?”

Bai Li shook his head: “No.”

Sigh.

After tomorrow, he would be a big cat.

Although still small in size, he was now an adult, a grown cat, and wouldn’t care whether the gentleman prepared gifts or not.
