Chapter 104 First Release on Jinjiang Literature City

Xie Chen looked at Bai family’s elder brothers who were clearly unhappy but had to endure it, and raised an eyebrow.

He knew these brothers were very protective of Li Li and definitely didn’t want to give Li Li up.

But Li Li had grown up.

The grand birthday banquet held today, with the Bai family brothers personally helping out, had a deeper meaning from Xie Chen—

He wanted Tan Yi and the others to understand that from this birthday banquet onward, Li Li was an adult.

They couldn’t keep holding onto Li Li forever.

Among the Bai family brothers, Tan Yi was a bit slow, but even he gradually understood Xie Chen’s meaning.

“Third brother.”

Bai Xiao Liu tugged at Tan Yi and said, “Let’s go.”

Tan Yi was a bit reluctant.

Bai Xiao Liu glanced at his younger brother: “Li Li, you go rest for a bit, Xiao Liu and Third Brother will come get you for dinner.”

It was their treasure’s birthday, as brothers, they wouldn’t show no care.

Xie Chen didn’t object to this.

He put his arm around Bai Li’s shoulder and said to Bai Liu, “See you tonight.”

After working hard at the banquet until now, the little kitten was already very sleepy.

Tan Yi and Bai Liu left, and they took Bai Si, who was hiding away because of the noise, along with them.

Bai Si lazily was dragged away: “Why are you guys looking for me?”

He was still planning to wait and see if Li Li wanted to sleep later, and if so, he would carry Li Li to sleep together.

Tan Yi pulled him along, grumbling: “If we tell you to leave, just leave. Staying longer, isn’t it annoying watching that Xie guy?”

Rationally accepting that Li Li was taken away was one thing, but emotionally accepting it was a completely different matter.

“Li Li, Ah Yin and I are leaving too.”

The Bai family eldest brother patted his younger brother’s head and said goodbye.

When most people had left, Xie Chen took Bai Li back to their usual villa.Bai Li transformed back to his original form in the car.

A tiny kitten ball, curled up on Xie Chen’s lap, sleeping with the tip of his tongue slightly sticking out.

This time, Xie Chen’s hands had no chili, so he carefully touched it.

The soft, pink cat tongue was so soft it made people’s hearts melt.

Xie Chen looked down at the cat all the way, of course, he also pinched the paw pads quite a bit during that time.

After they returned,

Xie Chen didn’t accompany the little kitten to the room to sleep.

He allowed the reporters to be present for the interview, so the follow-up would definitely be a complete public reveal.

“Boss.”

Anna called, reporting progress: “Weibo crashed.”

Xie Chen: “…”

He paused for a few seconds: “What’s the big deal? Let’s talk after it recovers.”

Anna sighed softly: “I can already imagine the scene after recovery.”

“Boss, before Weibo crashed, your romance with Li Li was the top trending topic.”

Xie Chen gave a sound of acknowledgment, not surprised.

Anna called again to get further approval.

“Several of our brands are launching new products. The PR department wants to ride the hype. What do you think?”

“Whatever.”

Anyway, the money earned would all be for Li Li, so using the hype was naturally fine.

About twenty minutes later, Weibo programmers rushed to fix it, and Weibo returned to normal.

At the same time,

Xie Chen directly posted a Weibo post with a simple and straightforward message, just three words:

I love you.

The picture attached was a photo of Bai Li sleeping.

Comments quickly surged to 99+.

[“Wuwuwu, am I dreaming? It’s really official. Although I was mentally prepared, it still feels like a dream.”]

[“I’m crying!!! Didn’t Brother say he didn’t want to fall in love?”]

[“But still, this Bai Li is really good-looking, worthy of Brother (softly).”][u1s1, if he can make Brother’s heart move, I believe Bai Li must be really good. Blessings.]

Scrolling through the comments with all kinds of content, Xie Chen just roughly glanced.

The reporter’s interview video from today’s birthday banquet was also pinned at the top of the trending list.

The reactions under the video were about the same as those under his Weibo post.

Xie Chen was not young anymore, and with his current identity as the head of the Xie Group, music was just something he occasionally released an album for.

He wasn’t some idol or pop star, and everyone knew the fans had no right to interfere in his romantic life.

While Xie Chen was looking at Weibo, the little kitten on the bed moved its paws.

The little kitten was having a very long, long dream.

In the dream, he was still very small.

On Monster Mountain, a handsome young man arrived, and the elders led him to meet that young man.

“Li Li, do you like this young man?”

An old Taoist with a scruffy beard, wearing tattered clothes, asked him with a smile.

Bai Li sat on his father’s foot, looking up at that young man.

The young man’s face was tight, a bit awkward, looking down nervously when he looked at him.

Bai Li tilted his head, to comfort the nervous young man, and softly meowed.

I like him.

After meowing, he walked up to the young man.

The young man squatted down and picked him up.

The old Taoist saw this and laughed heartily: “I told you they would get along very well.”

The Taoist and the young man stayed at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Li could see the young man every day, and the young man was very kind, extremely gentle to him.

Whenever his other elder brothers weren’t around, the young man would secretly take him out to play.

“Li Li, in a few days, we’re going to a place.”

The young man kissed his head, holding his little paw, and said: “You might transform there.”

Bai Li responded by rubbing against him: “Meow.”

I want to transform.

He also wanted to become a proper monster cat like his elder brothers and sisters.“When you transform, you’ll definitely be especially cute.”

The young man gently stroked him, his voice filled with some anticipation: “Li Li, do you want to be my wife?”

Bai Li was stunned.

At that time, Bai Li didn’t yet understand about arranged marriages. He looked at the young man and asked, “Is it like how mom and dad are? Mom is dad’s wife.”

“Yes.”

The young man seriously promised him, “I have a lot of pocket money, and when I grow up, I’ll work even harder to earn money. If you become my wife, I’ll give you all the money to spend.”

The chubby little kitten, confused, said, “I don’t need money, I have lots of tasty food.”

The young man was blocked by this answer, his ears turning a bit red.

He held a serious face, thought for a long time, then said, “There are lots of things you haven’t eaten yet.”

“Meow?”

What things?

“Spicy strips.”

The young man recommended, “All the kids outside love to eat this. There’s spicy ones and sweet and spicy ones.”

Listening to the young man talk about how good spicy strips were, Bai Li couldn’t help swallowing.

“Meow.”

I want to eat spicy strips.

“Okay.”

The young man kissed him again, then told him the condition: “If you become my wife, I’ll buy you spicy strips.”

“Meow meow.”

Okay, I’ll be your wife.

For the spicy strips, the little kitten didn’t hesitate to agree to be this young man’s wife.

And the young man treated his kitten wife even better. He could sing, and no matter what she wanted to hear, he could sing it.

Not only could he sing, but he could also tell stories.

In short, during that time, for the little kitten, it was incredibly wonderful.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day the little kitten was to go with the young man to the back mountain designated by the Taoist to stay for three days.

They didn’t bring food; the Taoist said it wasn’t needed.

Under the watchful eyes of the Bai family and the old Taoist, the snow-white little kitten was carried by the young man to the back mountain.

Once inside, the magic array set up by the old Taoist activated, and both Bai Li and the young man fell into unconsciousness.Before losing consciousness, they heard the old Taoist’s voice.

“Sleep now.”

“When you wake up, you will be safe.”

With the old Taoist’s words, the little kitten and the boy both fell into a deep sleep.

They slept for an unknown length of time.

On the back mountain, an unknown glowing orb enveloped them. The light was warm and seeped into their bodies, making even their bones feel tingly and numb.

Bai Li’s small body continuously absorbed the light.

The young man beside him was also absorbing the light.

“Pop.”

After absorbing the light for a long time, the originally round little kitten suddenly disappeared, replaced by a delicate, chubby human child.

The child was still very young, only a few years old.

He wore no clothes, his lotus-like pale arms touching the young man beside him.

The young man had not woken.

The newly transformed child Bai Li, feeling cold, crawled into the young man’s arms, pressing himself against him to keep warm.

“Brother.”

The child Bai Li couldn’t fall asleep. He blinked and stared at the young man, softly calling him “brother” several times, but unfortunately did not wake him.

There was still light on both of them.

However...

After some more time passed, the child Bai Li’s chubby face suddenly widened with big, beautiful eyes.

“Ah.”

He cried out in surprise.

The light that had allowed him to transform was transferring from his body into the young man’s body.

Without the light, he couldn’t transform.

The child Bai Li understood this instinctively.

He stretched out his little chubby hand, trying to grab the light back. The light that was slipping away couldn’t run off again.

His little hand grasped in vain for a long time.

The child Bai Li still couldn’t hold the light; the body that had successfully transformed was visibly beginning to revert."Brother."

The little child Bai Li, almost about to cry in panic, pushed the young man beside him again.

The young man finally woke up.

However, by the time he woke up, it was already too late.

The child Bai Li who had just successfully transformed was about to turn back again.

The young man stared blankly at the shifting light, then looked at the chubby-faced child Bai Li...

“Bai Li.”

The young man’s thoughts tangled in some way; he was shocked and said, “Are you holding back for me again?”

The light surrounding them wasn’t much. The young man thought the child Bai Li was sacrificing himself and making a sacrifice for him.

“Meow.”

Bai Li was very heartbroken.

With a soft plop sound, after the young man poked his chubby face, he turned back into a cat.

The young man tightly hugged the cat, his eyes reddening with emotion.

“Bai Li, thank you.”

He bent down to kiss the broken-hearted little kitten: “I know, you want my body to recover. Thank you.”

The young man’s apology was sincere.

However, the cat who had just transformed successfully but then failed again didn’t want to meow.

He was very sad now.

He had barely transformed, and now, everything was gone.

“Bai Li, I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future.”

“I will buy you lots and lots of spicy strips.”

“Whatever you want, I will give you.”

The young man’s confession sounded very nice, but the cat didn’t want to hear it.

The author has something to say: The little kitten still has the lowest double updates!
