"Besides that?"

Jin Jin flipped through the book casually and continued asking Bai Li.

Bai Li shook his head: "Nothing else."

His second sister didn’t talk much about others. She only mentioned Jin Jin because he had brought Jin Jin back, so she casually brought him up.

Jin Jin heard this and didn’t feel regretful.

The two of them stayed in the library. Jin Jin knew a lot. For the books Bai Li found, he could even guide Bai Li on how to read them.

"Jin Jin, when school starts, would you like to come study here?"

Bai Li still remembered second sister’s instructions—to get Jin Jin to come study here.

"No."

Jin Jin answered without hesitation: "Li Li, I don’t need tutoring for university courses. I already know all that."

Bai Li: "..."

Bai Li was stunned.

"Then, what do you want to do?" Bai Li asked him.

Second sister would be busy. It was unrealistic for Jin Jin to stick to her all the time. So Bai Li also wanted him to find something to do, at least to distract himself, not cling to second sister all the time.

"I have something I want to do."

Jin Jin’s eyes held a slight smile: "I want to protect your sister."

"Protect?"

"Yes." Jin Jin smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "There are too many people wanting to hurt your sister. I have to protect her."

Bai Li didn’t understand where his confidence came from.

In Bai Li’s eyes, Jin Jin, who was rescued by him, was clearly a poor little thing.

Jin Jin didn’t explain. Bai Li shook his head, calmed down, and tried to make Jin Jin give up on that idea.

"My second sister definitely won’t let you be her bodyguard."

Bai Li was clear about this.The two talked until the end, but Jin Jin still refused to go to school. Bai Li gently asked him not to cling to second sister, but was rejected again.

After the failed persuasion, Bai Li tugged at his own cheek and went to find Xie Chen.

As soon as he left, Jin Jin stared at his back, a trace of danger flashing in his eyes.

Xie Group headquarters.

Bai Li didn’t need any credentials to enter here. Once he stepped in, someone notified the higher-ups.

A few minutes later, Anna personally came downstairs to take Bai Li away.

“Li Li, why are you here at this time?”

“Wanted to see sir.”

Bai Li hadn’t completed second sister’s assigned task, feeling a little down, so he wanted to find sir for comfort.

“The boss is in the office; he’s a bit busy today.” Anna gave him a heads-up in advance. Bai Li nodded.

The door was pushed open.

There were others in the office. Bai Li glanced at Xie Chen and quickly took a few steps forward, not saying anything out of place but standing aside like a mascot.

Those reporting work noticed and hurried up their speech.

Everyone there knew this handsome young boy was the boss’s official partner.

The boss spoiled him terribly—rumor had it that he’d even put up a ladder to pick stars down for him.

“Boss, we’ll leave first.”

After finishing the work report, the extra people in the office left on their own, leaving only Bai Li and Xie Chen inside.

“What’s wrong?”

Xie Chen pulled the clearly unhappy young boy to face him, speaking in a tone so gentle no one else could hear.

Bai Li sat on his lap, hugged his neck, and told him about Jin Jin.

“Making him not cling to your second sister isn’t impossible.”

Xie Chen wasn’t worried about this: “Most of your second sister’s work is highly confidential. If she really wants to shake him off, I doubt he’ll be able to cling on.”

Hearing this, Bai Li sighed slightly in relief.

With the New Year approaching, Xie Chen’s company was about to take a holiday, but Bai Rong’s side had no break.

Because Tan Yi and Bai Liu lived together near Bai Li, whenever Bai Rong had free time, she would come to see her younger brothers.

Several brothers could be seen all at once.

Bai Fourth was left out, but not neglected; after the snow fell, Bai Fourth solemnly announced he was going to hibernate.

The little kitten heard for the first time that cats also hibernate and was almost fooled.After he returned home, his belly full and round, he piled all his toys by the bedside, then moved the cat bed onto the bed.

The snowy-colored little kitten crawled into the cat bed, closed his eyes, trying to imitate Fourth Brother and hibernate like a cat.

But after “hibernating” for a while during the day, by nighttime, the kitten was full of energy and couldn’t sleep at all.

He couldn’t sleep, and his mind couldn’t stop wandering with all sorts of wild thoughts.

The more he thought, the less sleepy he felt.

To avoid waking sir, Bai Li simply hid under the covers and secretly played on his phone.

Late at night, the browser was quite unrestrained.

Bai Li originally just searched sir’s name, wanting to see things about him.

But unexpectedly, while searching, a headline with Xie Chen’s name caught his eye.

“Xie Chen hotel video leaked! Big scandal! Nude photos!”

Bai Li: “?”

Bai Li knew what “hotel” implied.

He stared at the headline in disbelief, refusing to believe sir would go to a hotel.

“It must be slandering sir.”

Bai Li angrily clicked the headline, only to find it redirected to a homepage.

The homepage was gaudy and flashing with lots of unhealthy content.

Bai Li looked at the videos on the homepage; the headline mentioning Xie Chen was gone, replaced by other things.

For example, in the video categories.

The most eye-catching spots—

[Click to watch high-definition tutorial videos xxxx]

[New employee office stories]

[My date with my first love]

Besides male-female, there were also male-male videos.

The little kitten, never having encountered such things before, suddenly had the grand gate to a new world opened by a fake headline late at night.

He clicked on a cover showing two boys in a video.

Then—

slapThe blushing young boy was embarrassed into a kitten.

The tiny little kitten stretched out his paws to protect his head, almost curling himself into a kitten ball.

Oh no.

What had he just seen?

How could two people still be doing that kind of thing...

This grand new world was still a bit too overwhelming for the innocent little kitten.

His movements were light, and his voice was so quiet that if you weren’t close, you wouldn’t hear it.

Xie Chen was busy for a long time, only relaxing and falling asleep after being with him, so he didn’t hear the movements under the covers.

All was calm here.

Somewhere else, one could say it was the king’s hometown, a man responsible for procurement was walking around with cash in hand and a cigarette in his mouth, seemingly aimless but every path was part of his plan.

Tsk.

The little girl wanted eighty thousand.

The man thought to himself, if it weren’t for the good quality of the goods there, he really wouldn’t want to pay.

After collecting the people, he’d crushed the seller before; this wasn’t new to him.

But that Aunt Jia had methods and stable supply, so for now, no black-on-black moves.

The man thought about the goods soon to be in hand, and then about the crazy young master who’d left the family business behind, wandering out and not returning.

He hummed a carefree tune, face relaxed, but his mind was scheming who knew what.

The next day.

Because Bai Li had stayed up late, and it was a very exhausting night, he slept in until late morning and kept stubbornly refusing to get up.

“Meow.”

Sleepy.

The little kitten’s eyes barely opened, piteously meowing at Xie Chen.

Xie Chen knew he usually didn’t lie in, so this time was quite novel.

“Li Li, you’re almost sleeping until noon and still won’t get up to eat.”

Xie Chen teased him deliberately: “Were you up to some mischief behind my back last night?”

Bai Li: “!!!”

The little kitten with sleepy eyes was suddenly startled and rolled upright.

“Meow!”No, no.

He didn’t do anything bad.

The guilty kitten widened his eyes and meowed loudly.

This attempt to cover up only made it more obvious, which surprised Xie Chen.

He had just said it casually, not expecting to actually get something out of him.

“Did you really not do anything bad?”

“No!”

The lying little kitten was so nervous he kept stepping on his right paw with his left paw.

Xie Chen found it amusing and insisted on pressing him about the “bad things” he supposedly did.

The room was warm.

Xie Chen wore only a thin shirt, no coat. He lay back down, curled the kitten in his arms, forehead pressed to forehead.

“Good boy, tell me, what did you do?”

Bai Li’s eyes darted around, refusing to say a word.

He couldn’t let Xie Chen find out he had watched that embarrassing video.

Seeing he wouldn’t speak, Xie Chen suddenly reached out, pinned the kitten to the bed on his back, and started tickling his fur.

“Meow, meow meow.”

Ticklish! No tickling!

The ticklish kitten got tickled in several especially sensitive spots.

Xie Chen’s methods were cruel, even using other ways to tease the kitten.

Everyone knows that no matter how small a male kitten is, he will have testicles.

“By the way, do you know how city kittens get neutered?”

Bai Li had never seen other cats get neutered, so he didn’t know.

“Meow.”

I don’t want to know.

Bai Li instinctively felt it wouldn’t be good news, so he used his little paws to bat at Xie Chen’s big hand and refused to listen.

Xie Chen not only didn’t let up but leaned closer and told him in a low voice:

“The owner takes the kitten to the vet, the vet gives the kitten anesthesia, and once the kitten falls asleep, the vet takes him to the operating table and uses a sterilized knife to cut off the kitten’s testicles.”Bai Li: "..."

Suddenly, Bai Li felt a little pain.

Being a cat is hard.

Although the city kitten has an owner to take care of him, he still has to be neutered.

“Meow!”

Master, I don’t want to be neutered.

Bai Li pawed at him, pleading earnestly.

Xie Chen stroked his head and coaxed gently, “It’s okay not to be neutered, but Li Li has to be obedient.”

“Meow meow.”

I will be obedient.

A little scared, the kitten hurriedly promised his master.

It’s much easier to get information when Xie Chen scared the kitten a bit first.

“I—I’m not a good cat.”

The kitten handed over his phone, shamefully lowering his head, and confessed to Xie Chen, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have been a rogue cat.”

After seeing all those messy things, Bai Li felt completely impure.

Xie Chen took his phone and without needing to be told, directly opened his browser.

Bai Li didn’t clear his browsing history, so every single video record was fully visible to Xie Chen.

Just as he was about to click, the kitten curled into a ball and quickly rolled under the covers, covering his cat ears in advance.

Within less than a minute, heavy breathing filled the whole room.

It was already noon. Xie Chen had entered and exited the bedroom several times, so the door wasn’t closed.

Bai Rong, Tan Yi, Bai Liu—by coincidence, they came together to visit their younger brother.
