Chapter 114 First Release on Jinjiang Literature City
Cats have much better night vision than humans.
Whether it’s the little kitten or the black-footed cat, they can clearly see everything around them.
Of course, that includes the human walking toward them.
“Meow.”
Li Li, recognize the face.
The black-footed cat licked its paw, reminding Bai Li.
The person walking over was a young man wearing a black trench coat, his hair cut very short.
Bai Li stopped in place, frowned while looking at him, and after a few seconds, looked down and answered Black Brother: “Somewhat familiar.”
“Bai Li.”
While the person and cat were talking, the other party accurately called Bai Li’s name.
“What a coincidence, what are you doing here?”
“I’m looking for a cat.”
Bai Li pointed at the black-footed cat by his leg, then stared at the young man and asked, “What’s your name again?”
The boy’s face stiffened: “You don’t remember my name?”
“My memory’s not very good.”
Bai Li wasn’t lying; he kind of knew this person but really couldn’t recall his name.
From memory, this person was very annoying.
“I’m Guan Liang.”
Guan Liang, with his short buzz cut, looked quite different than before, maybe because of the haircut.
Guan Liang’s eyes stuck to Bai Li’s body, his tone was fairly gentle: “Want me to take you home? I have a car.”
“No.”
Bai Li blinked and straightforwardly asked him, “Are you really just trying to take me home?”
“Yeah.”
Guan Liang smiled and reached out to touch him: “Come with me?”
Bai Li took two steps back.
“I have something to ask you.”He looked Guan Liang straight in the eyes without looking away: "Are the flowers in my shop sent by you?"
"Yes, they are."
Maybe because he thought in this environment the person in front of him couldn't escape again, Guan Liang patiently admitted and gently asked him: "Do you like them?"
"Roses, catnip, catmint, which do you prefer?"
Bai Li kept stepping back.
"I don’t like any of them."
He said bluntly, "I prefer you to stay away from me, don’t bother me."
"This..."
Guan Liang looked at his face and shook his head with a smile: "I can’t do that."
"Bai Li, you don’t need to be afraid, I’m here to save you."
He said this seemingly righteous line grandly: "You’ve been lured by Xie Chen."
Bai Li glanced at him: "Oh, and then?"
"And then?" Guan Liang raised his eyebrows and replied, "Then naturally follow me, let me help you get rid of him."
"Ugh."
Bai Li sneered: "Do you take me for a fool?"
He didn’t want such a good master, but such a pervert — he’s no dumb cat!
Guan Liang, having wasted time with him until now, no longer wanted to continue.
It was just the two of them here. And Bai Li couldn’t escape.
Guan Liang put his hand in his pocket, where a packet of medicine he had prepared long ago was.
However, before the medicine was pulled out, something fast like a shadow suddenly darted up beside him.
That thing was Black-footed Cat.
He had been crouched with front paws on the ground and back arched in an ambush stance for a long time.
Guan Liang was focused on Bai Li and didn’t notice this small, skinny-looking cat at all.
A scream rang out in the alley.
Bai Li covered his ears and obediently ran aside to avoid affecting Black Brother’s performance.
"Black Brother, beat him up!"
Bai Li cheered on fiercely clawing Black Brother.
Black-footed Cat was very protective, especially of Bai Li, this little kitten, who was at the top of his protection list.
This human harbored such vile and disgusting thoughts toward the little kitten.
That was intolerable.After an unknown amount of time passed,
Bai Li ran over quickly, looked at Guan Liang lying on the ground groaning, and even spitefully kicked him twice more with his foot.
“If you dare send me flowers again, I’ll have Black Brother come to beat you up.”
Guan Liang was beaten badly, but hearing Bai Li’s words, the smile on his face still hadn’t faded.
“Bai Li.”
“Your secret is known to me.”
Guan Liang gasped for breath, squinting at Bai Li: “You’re a monster.”
Bai Li: “?”
Bai Li widened his eyes and looked at Black Brother.
The next second, Black Brother slapped and transformed into a human, along with his clothes appearing.
“Don’t worry.”
Black Brother pulled Bai Li behind him, showing his small white teeth: “If I beat him to death, he won’t be talking nonsense anymore.”
“Wait.”
Hearing this, Bai Li pulled Black Brother aside in the opposite direction.
“You can’t kill him.”
Killing humans is illegal in the human world.
The law-abiding little kitten stopped Black Brother from ending up in jail.
He squatted down and asked Guan Liang himself: “Where did you get the information?”
He was very sure he never exposed his identity.
Guan Liang said nothing.
He greedily looked from Bai Li’s face to his body: “I won’t tell you.”
“I have proof. Bai Li, if you don’t want this secret to be leaked, then accompany me for one night.”
“I guarantee it’ll make you feel better than Xie Chen.”
“Slap—”
Just as he finished speaking, Bai Li slapped him again.
“You’re done!”
The angry little kitten immediately took out his phone to complain. He had a WeChat group with several older brothers.
[Group Name: A Loving Family of Cats]
Bai Li: “Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, someone wants me to sleep with him!”
Even though it was late, as soon as the message was sent, all the brothers replied instantly.Tan Yi: "Send the address."
Bai Liu: "I'm coming out of the lab now."
Bai Lin: "Waiting for Big Brother."
Bai Si didn’t send a message. After seeing the location sent by his younger brother in the group, he put on a jacket and strode out of the house.
Not long after,
Bai Si arrived first.
After hearing what Guan Liang did to his younger brother, Bai Si suddenly smiled.
He leaned close to the barely conscious Guan Liang and said softly, “Someone like you wants to force my brother?”
Bai Si took out the potion from Guan Liang’s pocket—it was a strong aphrodisiac.
“Li Li, Xie Chen is almost here. You wait on the road. I’ll deal with this person.”
Bai Li was stunned.
“Fourth Brother, how could Master come?”
“Big Brother said in the group he notified Xie Chen.”
Bai Li: “...”
It’s over.
For someone this disgusting who still has thoughts about him, Bai Li didn’t want to dirty Master’s eyes.
Just putting himself in Master’s shoes, he knew Master wouldn’t be happy if someone kept pestering him.
Master would definitely be angry knowing someone thought about him every day.
“Well, I’m coming over then.”
Bai Li ran out quickly.
Black-footed Cat, a step behind, looked at Bai Li’s Fourth Brother and somehow felt this one didn’t seem very kind either.
But whatever.
Trash has someone to pick it up, that’s fine.
Black-footed Cat took a few steps outside and just saw Li Li’s Master get out of the car.
He didn’t approach, just called out from afar to Li Li that he was leaving.
Yan Cen was still waiting for him at home, so he needed to get back early.
By the roadside,
Bai Li nervously looked at Xie Chen approaching, his palms sweaty with anxiety. “Master.”
Bai Li called him eagerly.
Xie Chen didn’t respond.
Seeing this, Bai Li felt even worse.Master had never ignored him like this before.
The two stood facing each other. Just when Bai Li’s anxiety was overwhelming, finally, Xie Chen moved.
He pulled him tightly into his arms, the pressure making Bai Li feel a bit suffocated.
But he didn’t dare say anything.
“Li Li.”
Xie Chen felt his chest tighten, thinking of the kitten facing that pervert, and how after dealing with it, Bai Li hadn’t called him but had called a few older brothers instead.
He wanted to scold him for acting rashly and lecture him for not reporting properly—just boldly finishing things before letting him know.
The emotional words were on the tip of his tongue but were all swallowed back, leaving only a gritted-teeth warning:
“If there’s a next time, I—”
“There won’t be a next time!”
Bai Li cut him off quickly.
“Master.”
He buried his face in Xie Chen’s neck and rubbed hard.
Although he had never seen Master angry, he was still very afraid of an angry Master.
Xie Chen looked at the kitten nuzzling his face in his arms, and what else could he do?
His own cat—no matter how angry, he had to spoil and cherish him.
Whether because they were too absorbed in conversation or Bai Si’s whereabouts were too mysterious,
by the time they reached the alley, Bai Si and the originally lying Guan Liang were both gone.
“It was Fourth Brother who took him away,” Bai Li said.
Xie Chen responded with a “Mm.”
He didn’t say anything on the surface, but privately, of course, he wouldn’t let Bai Si handle that trash alone.
Night had deepened.
Xie Chen took his little kitten home. The other three older brothers who arrived late and saw nothing were left confused:
“???”
Looks like we came for nothing.
Knowing it was Fourth Brother who took him away, Bai Lin pressed his temples.
“Just wait, if Fourth Brother doesn’t say, we won’t find him.”
The brothers left one after another. Bai Liu looked down playing on his phone, seemingly sending a message.
“Fourth Brother, want to play together?”
“No.”
Fourth Brother Bai gave a short refusal and then completely ignored Sixth Brother.
Inside the villa.Bai Li sat on the bed and honestly recounted the entire incident in response to Xie Chen’s questioning.
“That’s how it happened.”
After finishing, Bai Li blinked: “Master, I didn’t call you tonight because I didn’t want you to worry.”
Xie Chen pinched his face: “Li Li, if something like this happens again and you still hide it from me, I will definitely punish you.”
The kitten, who had never been punished before, curiously asked, “What kind of punishment?”
Xie Chen didn’t give a clear answer, only saying that the punishment would make him cry.
But the kitten didn’t believe that.
He leaned back on the bed, his beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
“Master wouldn’t let me cry.”
He knew Master cared for him deeply and wouldn’t bear to see him cry.
Xie Chen grabbed his kicking chubby foot, turned his head, and bit his ankle.
“Li Li, I want to make you cry.”
He whispered softly, barely audible.
The sixth brother of the Bai family was right—he wasn’t a good person.
Facing the precious kitten in his heart, Xie Chen thought there was no way he could have no desires at all.
He wasn’t a saint; the reason he was holding back now was because he loved him too much.
Loved him so much he couldn’t bear to let him get hurt.
“Master, what are you saying?”
Bai Li, whose chubby foot was being grabbed, tried to pull it back while asking.
“Nothing.”
Xie Chen came back to his senses and pulled him up to sit: “Good boy, I bought you new pajamas. Do you want to change?”
“No.”
Bai Li stubbornly rolled to the side: “I don’t want to wear pajamas to sleep; it’s uncomfortable.”
Xie Chen knew this bad habit of his—he didn’t like wearing pajamas to bed. But even if he often failed to convince him, he would patiently keep trying and never give up.
Otherwise, holding a kitten without pajamas in his arms—that sin was not something ordinary people could bear.
“By the way!”
To avoid changing pajamas, Bai Li suddenly remembered something he hadn’t fully said before: “Master, what if Guan Liang knows I’m a demon? What should I do?”
“Will he report me?”
Bai Li climbed out from under the quilt and instantly transformed back into a little kitten.
The little kitten nervously twitched his ears and meowed to Xie Chen: “If humans find out I can turn into this, will they be afraid?”Xie Chen: “……”
Xie Chen looked down at the tiny pure white kitten and fell into a mysterious silence.
Bai Li saw he had no reaction and mistakenly thought his silence was an agreement.
This made the kitten very anxious.
“Master, I’m not fierce!” His chubby little body twisted anxiously on the bed. “I’m not a bad demon.”
There aren’t many of their demon cats, and besides, they’re all good cats!
Xie Chen looked at the anxious little kitten, finally showing a bit of a smile in his eyes.
“Don’t worry.”
“You little demon like you, I think even if there were more, humans wouldn’t be afraid.”
