Chapter 115 Jinjiang Literature City First Release

“Meow?”

The little kitten looked at Master expectantly, meowing: “Are they really not afraid?”

As a little kitten who recently watched Liaozhai, he deeply remembered that in Liaozhai, humans were always afraid when they saw demons.

Xie Chen rubbed his head confidently: “Really.”

After Xie Chen’s repeated assurance, the kitten finally felt a bit more at ease.

Not satisfied with just asking Xie Chen, he put on his robe, and quickly went to find Xie Bo.

Xie Bo was making him honey water to drink and had just told him.

“Xie Bo.”

Bai Li took the prepared honey water, too impatient to drink, repeated the question he had asked Xie Chen.

“You think, a little demon like me, would humans be afraid?”

Xie Bo laughed heartily.

“Anyway, I’m not afraid.”

Not only was he not afraid, he even wanted to suck the little demon dry in one breath.

The double responses from Xie Bo and Xie Chen finally comforted the nervous kitten.

The honey water was sweet, after drinking a big cup, Bai Li returned to his room and brushed his teeth again.

“Master, I smell good.”

Bai Li snuggled close, letting him smell; the new body lotion applied in the bathroom left a faint fruity scent that hadn’t faded.

Xie Chen was sitting on the bed reading a magazine; seeing him snuggle into his arms, he dropped the magazine and bent down to smell the kitten.

“Hm, very fragrant.”

After confirming, Xie Chen stopped wasting time, turned off the light, held the kitten tightly, and lay down under the quilt.

The room’s air conditioning was on, but they still used a thick quilt.

The cold-sensitive kitten insisted on covering himself thickly to feel secure, which caused him to kick the quilt off sometimes in the middle of the night from the heat.

The next day.

Bai Li went to work at the cat café; this time, there were finally no flowers at the café entrance.

Mei Mei saw him coming and hurriedly greeted him.

“Big Brother!”Mei Mei happily reported, “There are no flowers today!”

Bai Li squatted down and petted Mei Mei: “There won’t be any anymore.”

The flower-delivering pervert was taken away by Fourth Brother; if he shows up again, he definitely won’t dare to harass him.

The cat café resumed its normal business; besides opening hours, closing time was not fixed.

The white-collar woman who came last time showed up a few more times.

Her face was always without a smile.

The cats tugged on Bai Li’s pant legs and more than once meowed, “Why is she unhappy? Does she not like us?”

The working cats were very proactive.

They knew humans came in just to pet them.

Moreover, these customers, especially the unsmiling woman, treated them well.

Every little cat present, except Bai Li, had been fed canned meat by her.

“She likes you all a lot.”

Bai Li looked at the woman sitting at the table and quietly told the cats, “If she’s willing to spend money on you, it means she really likes you.”

Hearing Big Brother say that, the previously a bit down cats immediately brushed off their worries and happily grouped together to let the woman pet them.

Bai Li didn’t join in.

He sat at the bar, staring at the woman, lost in thought.

There was still a dark mist lingering around her; Bai Li had broken some of it up but couldn’t completely eliminate it.

There were still many such dark mists in the human world.

Bai Li was absentmindedly thinking if there was any way to change this situation.

Since coming down the mountain, he had met many humans, some good, some bad.

Bad bosses who didn’t pay him, good bosses who gave him raises.

Irresponsible owners who abandoned their cats, and a good master who picked up cats from the roadside—including him.

“I like humans,” Bai Li concluded.

He didn’t want humans to always be entangled by this kind of negatively influential dark mist, so he had to come up with a solution.

“Big Brother.”

Just as the woman was about to leave, Mei Mei reminded him.

Hearing this, Bai Li hurriedly got up from the bar and came over.

After the woman paid, just as she was about to carry her bag and leave, Bai Li suddenly called out to her.

“Can we add each other on WeChat?”

The woman was a bit surprised; the shop owner was good-looking, and some people who came to the store, even she could tell, didn’t come for the cats but for the owner.But the shop owner didn’t realize that those young ladies were teasing him.

Many people who came to the shop often asked to add the owner on WeChat, but the owner hadn’t given his contact to anyone.

“Is that not allowed?”

Bai Li asked again.

“It’s allowed.”

Such a well-behaved and good-looking owner—of course, the woman wouldn’t refuse.

They added each other on WeChat. Bai Li sent her a few cat dance videos and some meowing songs.

“Everyone who sees these cat dances and meowing songs says they’re really cute.”

“If you still feel down, you can watch them. Maybe they’ll cheer you up a little.”

Bai Li shyly promoted his cat dances to a stranger, his ears quietly turning red. The woman really liked cats and was very interested in the cat videos.

“Thank you.”

She thanked Bai Li.

After the woman left, not long after, Xie Chen came to pick him up.

They didn’t return to the villa but went to a studio.

“I’ll order you a few outfits.”

Xie Chen held his hand and personally measured him, then handed the sizes to the staff at the studio.

“I have clothes to wear.”

After being measured, Bai Li reminded Xie Chen, “The wardrobe is already full.”

The wardrobe in the bedroom was big; before, when Xie Chen stored clothes there, there was still space.

But after raising the little cat at home, he moved his own clothes to a special walk-in closet to free up the wardrobe for the cat, and it was still a bit insufficient.

Their Li Li was like a miracle—Xie Bo, Bai family brothers, Yu Yin...

Everyone loved buying clothes for the little cat.

Cat clothes, human-form clothes—the brothers had different tastes and chose different styles.

In short, Miracle Li Li wasn’t short of clothes, but there were still few tailor-made formal dresses.

Xie Chen made an appointment with the studio and would bring the little cat after work to make a few outfits, for attending events or for Yan Cen’s and that black-footed cat’s wedding in a few days.

After staying a while at the studio, Xie Chen carried the cat and left.

Night was deep, cold wind blowing.

In a certain single apartment, the woman who petted cats at the café sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, hair down, wearing a red camisole nightgown.

Beside her was a bowl of ice cream and a bottle of sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills were hard to get; she had put in a lot of effort to gather this many.The low, negative mood had lasted too long. She wanted to make herself happier but had tried every method; it felt like something was binding her body.

She couldn’t relax.

The woman reached out and sprinkled the sleeping pills onto the ice cream.

Eating sweets could lift the mood, and the sleeping pills would bring her complete release.

She mixed the two together, hoping to find relief in pleasure.

Before eating the ice cream, she suddenly remembered the things the shop owner had sent her.

“Almost forgot to watch.”

She hadn’t opened them at the door, just glanced at the video covers.

Now...

She finally had time.

She took out her phone and clicked to play the videos in the chat one by one.

First, the cat dances.

A small, snowy white little cat, doing splits, raising paws, sitting sideways—it was clear it was dancing energetically.

The more she watched, the funnier it seemed. After watching several different cat dances, she then listened to the meowing songs.

The meowing in the songs had pauses, varied lengths of meows; although she didn’t understand what they meant, the meows were very soothing.

The woman squinted her eyes, and amidst the meowing, she unknowingly fell asleep.

Fortunately, the room’s heating was warm enough, and a thick carpet was laid on the floor.

The woman lay on the carpet, having a long, beautiful dream.

When she woke up, it was bright outside the window; a satisfied and content smile lingered at the corner of her mouth.

The ice cream had melted into a sticky liquid in the box; the sleeping pills soaked in it—she wondered if that had affected their potency.

She threw the box into the trash bag and stretched lazily.

“The weather is really nice.”

Squinting, she looked at the sky outside and softly said.

Such beautiful weather—suddenly, she wished she could see it every day.

Bai Li didn’t know about the woman’s change yet.

He nestled in Xie Chen’s arms and slept very soundly every night.

With enough sleep and someone he liked accompanying him, any other little cat probably would also want to cling and stay in bed lazily.

Not many days later.

The custom-made clothes from the studio arrived.

Bai Li couldn’t tell the brand and naturally didn’t know how expensive these few sets of clothes were.Just then, Zhou Zhi sent him a WeChat message, asking him to come learn a new dance.

“Sir.”

Bai Li shook Xie Chen’s hand, reporting to him, “I’m going to learn the cat dance from Teacher Zhou Zhi. After learning the cat dance, I’ll eat.”

“You think I should wear which outfit?”

Where Zhou Zhi was, as long as it wasn’t her home, there were undoubtedly many people.

Most of them were dancers, all well-shaped and quite good-looking.

Bai Li didn’t want to be made to look like an ugly duckling.

“It’s still cold outside; bring your clothes with you and change after you get inside.”

Xie Chen didn’t let him change too early. He didn’t stop the little cat from going out, but the little cat had to stay within his sight like last time.

Bai Li was afraid of the cold. After thinking about it, he accepted Sir dressing him like a ball first, then changing clothes again when they arrived.

The driver drove quickly, soon dropping Xie Chen and Bai Li off at the destination in the back seat.

At the door, Bai Li waved to Xie Chen, “Sir, you go back first. I’ll call you when I’m about to leave later.”

“Okay.”

Xie Chen kissed his forehead and watched him be led inside by Zhou Zhi, who raised an eyebrow at him, as if saying, “What are you pretending for? Aren’t you coming in?”

Xie Chen wasn’t in a hurry to go in.

He waited in the car outside. Within ten minutes, Bai Li sent him a WeChat message saying he was changing clothes.

Xie Chen leaned back in his seat; there were other messages on WeChat as well.

For example, Xie Mao notified him that his album was finished recording and asked him to post a preview on Weibo.

Xie Chen hadn’t released many songs in recent years; this was just a stress-relief hobby.

“.”

Xie Chen replied with a period, then switched to Weibo.

The Weibo private messages page was already flooded.

@Mentions, comments, likes, private messages—all were 99+.

Xie Chen found a clip of original studio recording on his phone and posted it on Weibo.

【Xie Chen V: Listen to this.】

He didn’t finish listening to the audio himself. Seeing Zhou Zhi had sent another message on WeChat, he quickly posted the Weibo and switched back to WeChat.

It was a photo from Zhou Zhi showing Li Li after changing clothes.

Because he was looking at WeChat, he didn’t notice that the audio he posted on Weibo just happened to include Li Li’s meowing song.
