Chapter 128 — Premiered on Jinjiang Literature City
"Sir, I'm going to take a shower."
The cat with a flushed face got up from the corner, then hurried to the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed, and Xie Chen looked at the pajamas on the bed: "Lili, you didn’t bring your clothes in."
The sound of water started, and the panicked cat didn’t hear Xie Chen’s words at all.
The wedding night, why did it make sounds like that?
Cool Black Bro seemed almost about to cry!
Outside the bathroom.
Xie Chen was messaging Bai Si: "How should I help Lili’s body recover?"
"Take it slow."
Bai Si replied quickly: "What, you want to sleep with my brother?"
Xie Chen: "..."
He didn’t reply again.
He wouldn’t demand Lili’s body recklessly, but he also wouldn’t live a lifetime abstinent.
Bai Si could tell that much.
"So annoying."
The lazy cat sleeping at the Yan family threw his phone aside, staring at the ceiling, confused: "Why do cats have to fall in love?"
Like him, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, too idle, sometimes helping people heal, life is so carefree.
Now his brother has a partner, and that partner wants to take his adorable brother away.
Sigh.
But he can’t secretly get rid of that partner, or else his brother would cry.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed the gray-and-white cat got, stretching out his paw to cover his head, and fell asleep again in frustration.
Inside the bathroom, Bai Li, the solo cat, finished his shower.
Afterward, the redness on his face finally faded a bit.“Sir, I’m done washing.”
He pushed the door open, still not fully dried, and ran out with quick steps.
Xie Chen knew he was afraid of the cold, so he had the room heater on high.
He took the cat into his arms, grabbed a towel, and wiped him down again.
The cat who used to lie still when wiped was acting unusual this time, burying his head in Xie Chen’s chest without looking up.
As if suddenly realizing something was embarrassing.
Xie Chen understood this behavior well—he was starting to understand.
“Lili.”
After putting pajamas on the cat in his arms, Xie Chen hugged him to bed. The two lay close together, Xie Chen wrapped around him, quietly asking, “Do you want to know what that Black-footed Cat and Yan Cen were doing?”
Bai Li didn’t answer but held onto Xie Chen’s pajama fabric, looking up with those wet, beautiful eyes.
Xie Chen smiled softly.
“Lili,” he whispered, “they were doing something very intimate.”
He wanted to ask the cat in his arms if he would want to be that close with him in the future.
Before he could speak, the brave cat answered on his own.
“Sir, I can do it too!”
Although a little scared, looking at the beloved sir, he still wanted to be closer to him.
Even if it might make him cry, it was okay.
Xie Chen lowered his gaze to him, and after a moment, gently pressed his lips to his, kissing him tenderly.
“Good boy, catch your breath.”
Gentle kisses and other light, teasing touches in the dim room were intoxicating.
Bai Li slowly let go of all the thoughts about Black Bro and the wedding night; he followed Xie Chen’s lead with every thought.
That night.
For the newlywed couple next door, well, unspeakable.
For Bai Li, it was very happy.
Black Bro marrying the one he loved was a wonderful thing.
He took all the money in his pocket, folded it neatly, wrapped it carefully, and put it away.
After breakfast, Bai Li secretly pulled Black Bro aside.
“Black Bro.”The cat who had been eavesdropping in the corner tugged at Black-footed Cat’s arm, a slight blush showing on his fair face: “Sorry.”
He whispered an apology to Cat Bro.
Black-footed Cat looked puzzled: “Why are you saying sorry?”
The little kitten was really well-behaved; Black-footed Cat couldn’t figure out why the kitten was apologizing.
Bai Li lowered his head and handed the prepared money to Cat Bro.
“It’s all for you.”
After giving the money, he confessed his mistake: “I…I overheard some paid content.”
Black-footed Cat: “…”
Don’t ask. The answer is self-isolation.
“Every time you talk to me about the wedding night, you say it’s paid content that I have to pay to hear, and I was too curious, so I eavesdropped a little yesterday.”
“Black Bro, is this money enough?”
Bai Li worriedly asked, since Black Bro always stressed paying, making him anxious whether the payment was sufficient.
After hearing the reason, Black-footed Cat’s eyes grew weary, and only one phrase remained in his mind:
“Self-inflicted misery.”
He kept talking about the wedding night to the little kitten, and it really sparked the kitten’s curiosity.
As a fellow cat, he should’ve known better. Cats are naturally very curious...
“How long did you listen?” Black-footed Cat asked, unwilling to give up on trying to save himself.
Bai Li honestly answered, “Just a little while.”
Just a little while, Black-footed Cat thought, maybe in that short time, nothing much happened.
But then, the kitten’s words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.
“Black Bro, why are you crying?”
Bai Li asked puzzled: “Do cats cry on their wedding night?”
Black-footed Cat: “…”
Damn it!
The usually cool and aloof Black-footed Cat wanted to run away on the spot from the kitten’s persistent questioning.
“That kind of thing, you’ll understand when it’s your wedding night.”
Black-footed Cat muttered vaguely, “Anyway, you’re still very young now.”“I’m not little anymore; I’m already a mature cat.”
“Alright, alright, you’re not little, you’re huge,” Black-footed Cat halfheartedly humored the little kitten.
As for why cats cry on their wedding night, Black-footed Cat never ended up telling him.
This kind of thing is better for cats to experience on their own.
After returning from the Yan family, Bai Li turned back into a cat, sitting on Xie Chen’s lap, still lost in thought.
Once the wedding was over, Xie Chen had more things to attend to.
It was the end of the year, and Xie Chen wanted to find the whereabouts of his parents.
If the whole family could reunite for the New Year, that would be perfect.
Old Master Lang had moved into the Xie residence; at this moment, the little silly wolf was howling in front of his grandfather.
“Grandpa, I’m heartbroken!”
Old Master Lang gently patted his head in comfort: “Silly child, you’re overthinking. You haven’t even fallen in love, how can you be heartbroken?”
The wolf cub: “…”
Burst out crying even louder.
That hurt even more!
The howling little wolf cried so much that Bai Li came back.
He threw himself in front of Bai Li, sadly saying: “Li Li, I can’t be your brother-in-law anymore.”
Bai Li: “Meow?”
You still want to be my brother-in-law?!
Might as well keep dreaming!
The wolf cub didn’t get Bai Li’s support or comfort, and became even sadder.
Bai Li’s ears hurt from his crying, so he reluctantly asked: “Tell me, what happened?”
The little wolf sat on the floor, feeling wronged, and said: “There’s a human named Jin Jin around your sister.”
“He clings to your sister and won’t let me get close. Li Li, I’m telling you, that Jin Jin is not a good person!”
Bai Li meowed skeptically: “Lang He, I think your judgment of Jin Jin might be a little influenced by your own feelings.”
The little wolf indignantly exploded: “I’m not!”
Bai Li: “Oh oh oh.”
He didn’t really believe it much.
Jin Jin had appeared looking miserable, and he’d been hanging around Bai Li these past days without doing anything bad, so naturally Bai Li didn’t think he was that bad.The little wolf failed to report the problem and cried at home for a while before wiping his tears and wanting to go out.
“Where are you going?” Bai Li asked him.
The little wolf stubbornly said, “To find your second sister.”
Even if that Jin Jin clings to her, he still wants to go! He wants to defend the budding love.
Bai Li wanted to persuade him but failed.
Watching the little wolf run out, Bai Li sighed, thinking the little wolf’s trip was pointless.
Setting aside Jin Jin, the little wolf himself hadn’t grown up yet; the second sister couldn’t possibly like him.
The cup of love was probably not very sweet for the little wolf.
Old Master Lang took Xie Chen to search for the whereabouts of his parents.
Bai Li was left at home, watching the cat café, waiting for his master.
During this time, Tan Yi came by once.
“Li Li, do you still remember that Guan Liang?” Tan Yi asked him right away.
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “I remember.”
He’s a bad guy.
“Last time he said he knew your secret,” Tan Yi put the snowy white little cat on his lap, stroking his fur while talking to him.
Bai Li thought about it and immediately got nervous.
“Third Brother, what should I do? He knows I’m a monster.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Tan Yi comforted him by stroking his head: “This matter has already been investigated.”
“It’s my fault for dragging you into this. Others found out my identity, and since you’re my younger brother, you were also suspected.”
After hearing this, Bai Li was a bit stunned.
“Third Brother, you were discovered?”
“Yes, I was secretly filmed.”
Tan Yi’s expression darkened as he said this. He’d been in the circle for years and had never been secretly filmed exposing his true identity before.
It was all because of some idiot who gave him away.
The more Bai Li listened, the more nervous he became: “Third Brother, we’ve both been found out. Should we run?”
On human TV shows, this is how it always goes: if humans find out there are monsters, they’ll kill the monsters!“Run? Run where? Not running.”
Tan Yi came over at this moment to tell him that the matter had already been resolved.
“The person who secretly filmed me won’t leak this information anymore because it’s useless to expose it.”
Tan Yi reassured his younger brother: “You don’t need to worry about this anymore.”
The little kitten who had indeed worried about it nodded obediently.
At night. Xie Chen was not at home. Bai Li looked at the empty room and suddenly felt regret.
He shouldn’t have agreed to let Master Lang take his master away; he wanted to go too.
Before leaving, his master coaxed him with many kind words, making the kitten dizzy and unconsciously agree to stay at home.
The heater was on, but under the cartoon blanket without his master, the kitten couldn’t warm himself.
Unable to sleep, the kitten put on a floral padded jacket and ran to the rooftop with quick steps.
Xie Chen’s villa was well located; from here, he could see far away.
Bai Li clearly saw that the black mist lingering in this city was still quite heavy.
And beyond the city, needless to say, it existed as well.
Bai Li was too worried to sleep.
He opened WeChat, scrolled through Moments, trying to find someone to explain things to him.
But after searching around, he couldn’t find the right person or cat.
The little kitten raised his paw and rubbed his hands: “Fifth Brother likes reading. If I ask him, he’ll definitely know.”
His Fifth Brother was super knowledgeable!
Unfortunately, the super knowledgeable Fifth Brother wasn’t here, so Bai Li could only keep staring at the black mist, left with a bunch of confused guesses.
After waiting at home for two more days, on the third day, Xie Chen sent Bai Li a message.
The message was not good news.
