Chapter 150 – First Release on Jinjiang Literature City

Madam Bai frowned, carefully scrutinizing Xie Chen.

She remembered that when little Xie Chen was on the mountain, Li Li and him had always been very close.

However, little Xie Chen had left without a word and been gone for so long. Li Li had fallen ill waiting for him. Since then, the elders of Monster Mountain had lost their good impression of him.

“Auntie, rest assured, I won’t let Li Li down.”

His Li Li was the treasure of his heart, and he was determined never to lose him again.

“Just because you say ‘rest assured,’ we should believe you?”

Master Bai scowled, looking at the man who had snatched their little kitten. No matter how he looked at him, he felt uneasy. “Li Li just came of age, and you’re moving pretty fast.”

In Master Bai’s original plan, their precious little one would stay home a few more years. If they couldn’t find a good match, there was no rush—they could afford to raise Li Li well.

But who would have thought? Their precious kitten went down the mountain once and got stolen away.

“Meow, meow meow!”

Dad, I’m the one who made the move.

The kitten climbing on Xie Chen raised his paw and explained to Dad, “I like Mister, so I’m the one pursuing him.”

Master Bai snorted but still blamed Xie Chen: “Our Li Li is so cute, and you let him chase after you?”

Xie Chen: “...”

In any case, it was all Xie Chen’s fault.

Xie Chen understood Master Bai’s mindset quite well. After all, Li Li was raised by them until now, and suddenly wanting to be with him, it was natural the elders would have a hard time adjusting.

They stayed in the room for a while. The kitten leaned close to Xie Chen’s ear and softly meowed a few times.

Then Xie Chen spoke up: “Auntie, Auntie, Grandpa, could you please step outside for a moment? Li Li wants to prepare a gift for you.”

“A gift?”

“Yes.”

Xie Chen didn’t say what the gift was, just insisted they go out for now.

After they left, they waited by the door.

Master Bai still looked upset: “Honey, I don’t want Li Li to get married so early.”

After hearing Xie Chen’s explanation and his oath, Madam Bai wasn’t too opposed to him.

“If Li Li likes him, what can you do?”

Madam Bai said, rubbing her forehead: “Keep Xie Chen here for a while longer. We can observe his character and see if he truly treats Li Li well.”“Alright.”

After talking about Li Li and Xie Chen’s relationship, no one dared to ask how Li Li’s transformation was.

Since coming back, Li Li had stayed in his cat form, and he didn’t look much bigger than before. They didn’t dare to ask, afraid of disappointing results.

In the room.

The snowy white kitten sat back on the bed and suddenly transformed into human form.

Seeing this, Xie Chen took clothes out of the suitcase for him.

The temperature on the mountain was suitable, so no need for thick clothes. Xie Chen picked out a sky-blue sweatshirt for him, paired with pants and limited-edition sneakers.

The dressed boy looked full of energy.

“Very good-looking.”

Xie Chen kissed his lips: “When your parents see you, they’ll definitely be very happy.”

Bai Li hugged his neck and planted several smooches.

After some affection, Xie Chen held his hand and went to the door to open it for Bai family’s father, mother, and grandfather.

The door opened.

Master Bai, standing at the front, froze on the spot.

“Xie Chen, you, you—”

He wanted to ask, “Who is this with you?”

But the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them.

Not only Master Bai, but Madam Bai and Grandpa Bai all stared wide-eyed at the handsome boy beside Xie Chen.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Bai Li blinked and called out in a clear voice, “Dad, Mom, Grandpa!”

The three in front of him: “!!!”

“Li Li?!”

Master Bai’s voice cracked shouting Li Li’s name.

Grandpa Bai got so emotional that he dropped his cane, pushed his son aside, and hugged his little grandson tightly.

“My Li Li has transformed.”

Grandpa’s eyes reddened, choking up, “Now, Grandpa can die in peace.”

“Pah, pah, pah.”

Bai Li hugged Grandpa and said seriously, “Grandpa, don’t say nonsense! You will live a very long, long time!”

After hugging, Grandpa looked at his grandson carefully and liked what he saw more and more: “Li Li’s transformation is really good.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”Master Bai’s mood was floating now. He looked at his son, grinning happily: “Our Li Li is the most handsome kid on Monster Mountain.”

Bai Li shook his head and said, “Big brother and big sister are handsome too!”

Bai Li’s transformation spread quickly and became known all over the mountain.

Grandma Bai, who had accidentally slept in after drinking some old brew, woke up to the news and was overjoyed.

Visitors came to the house in waves, all to see the transformed kitten.

“Sir, don’t be afraid.”

Bai Li held Sir’s hand and quietly comforted him when no one was paying attention: “They’re all very nice people.”

Xie Chen squeezed his palm and chuckled softly: “Hmm, with Li Li protecting me, I’m not afraid.”

Hearing that, Bai Li immediately straightened up and said firmly, “I will protect you well.”

A group of relatives glanced at Bai Li and questioned Xie Chen again.

Unconsciously, time passed into the night.

All was silent, only the occasional insect sounds echoed in the night.

Bai Li managed to coax his way into sleeping with Sir.

“Cats grow up and can’t be kept.”

Xie Chen pulled the cat in front of him, pinched his face, and repeated this phrase Bai Daddy sighed out to the cat.

Bai Li blushed and stubbornly said, “Cats have to get married when they grow up.”

“Dad and Mom got married too!”

Xie Chen was so amused that he smiled with laughter in his eyes, hugging the blushing cat tightly, never wanting to let go: “Li Li, it’s really great.”

These elders loved Li Li very much, and because of this, sometimes they also disliked Xie Chen.

But because he helped Li Li transform and swore a spiritual oath, they seemed to sense his sincerity. They didn’t outright refuse to give the cat to him.

The light was dim.

Xie Chen lay on Bai Li’s bed, holding him close.

Neither was very sleepy. Bai Li tilted his head back, watching Xie Chen’s handsome face, feeling a little itchy inside.

“Sir.”

Bai Li hugged him, bit his chin, and asked, “When can we consummate our marriage?”

Xie Chen’s eyes darkened, his voice hoarse: “After your body—”

Before he finished, Bai Li eagerly interrupted.

“My body is fine!”

He looked at Xie Chen pleadingly, as if wanting him to believe it, repeating several times, “We can consummate it now.”

Xie Chen swallowed hard.“Li Li.”

He closed his eyes, trying hard to control the strings of reason so they wouldn’t snap.

“You really want to consummate now?”

“Yes.”

The honest cat tugged at Xie Chen’s clothes, answering without hesitation.

Black Brother and his husband had consummated already; Bai Li wanted to too.

Xie Chen lowered his gaze to the small face so close, holding back but ultimately unable to resist.

“Li Li.”

He kissed Bai Li’s lips softly and said, “Let me check if your body is well.”

Bai Li was kissed until his breathing nearly faltered; Xie Chen patiently taught him how to breathe.

The freshly changed sheets were wrinkled and dirtied.

When all sounds stopped, the cat stared blankly at the ceiling, calming down after a long while.

Xie Chen picked Bai Li up from the bed, wrapped him in clothes, and placed him on the sofa.

“Be good, wait for me to clean up.”

They hadn’t finished everything, but for the cat, it was almost too much.

His cheeks were as red as a ripe apple, and his beautiful amber eyes were moist, making people inexplicably want to tease him more.

Soon after.

The sheets were changed again; Xie Chen carried Bai Li back to bed.

“Are you satisfied now?” he asked.

Bai Li shook his head and said gloomily, “Not satisfied.”

“Hm?”

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: “What do you think I did wrong?”

Bai Li hugged his neck and whispered a small sentence.

The next moment, Xie Chen pressed him close, softly promising:

“When we hold the wedding, Li Li, no matter how much you cry, I won’t stop.”

Bai Li pressed against his chest and mumbled, “I won’t cry.”

They stayed on Monster Mountain for a while.

During that time, Xie Chen finally installed internet on Monster Mountain. On the day of installation, Grandpa Bai, using the phone Xie Chen gave him, was taught how to use WeChat step by step by Xie Chen, then immediately created a big group chat.

[Family of Love and Matchmaking Cats]

In this big group, Xie Chen also got a name.Grandpa Bai was in a great mood after being coaxed: “Xiao Chen, you handle things carefully and thoughtfully; Grandpa likes that about you.”

Xie Chen’s act of installing the internet and giving out phones undoubtedly boosted everyone’s goodwill toward him.

And in these past few days, everyone had seen how Xie Chen accompanied the cat.

The cat was clingy—either wanting to be held or held by the hand while walking—and Xie Chen indulged the clingy cat thoroughly.

A week later.

Xie Chen, now basically able to move around the mountain freely, was led by the cat to the back mountain.

“Sir.”

Bai Li pointed to the back mountain and told Xie Chen, “This is where we originally kept the treasures on our mountain.”

Xie Chen scooped him up from the grass into his arms, clearly cautious about the back mountain.

“Li Li, let’s change places to play. Didn’t you say yesterday you wanted to find the rabbit spirit? Let’s go find him now.”

Bai Li did not agree.

He focused on the back mountain, tilted his head, and meowed at Xie Chen, “Sir, I want to go to the back mountain.”

“Why do you want to go?”

“I don’t know.”

Bai Li’s cat face was blank: “I just really want to go.”

Seeing that he couldn’t explain why, Xie Chen tensed all over.

“Listen.”

His tone unusually firm, he turned to take the cat away: “There’s nothing fun here. I’ll go with you to see the rabbit.”

Bai Li was carried off but still lay on Xie Chen’s shoulder, staring at the back mountain without moving his gaze.

So strange.

Before, the back mountain didn’t attract him, but this time, inexplicably, he really wanted to stay there.

After noticing Bai Li’s abnormal behavior, Xie Chen didn’t tell the Bai family relatives but himself remained alert.

“Aunt.”

One day, Xie Chen took the initiative: “I want to send Li Li down the mountain first.”

Bai Mama caught the hidden meaning in his words: “Send Li Li down the mountain, and you’ll still stay here?”

“Yes.”

Xie Chen no longer hid his past identity with Li Li from Bai Mama.

After explaining everything, Bai Mama was stunned for a long moment before reacting.

“A Chen, don’t tell others about this.”

“I understand.”Even though the relatives on the mountain cared deeply for Li Li, if they really found out that Li Li’s identity could lift the mountain’s restriction and allow them not to be trapped on the mountain...

She didn’t dare to imagine what might happen in the end.

“After sending Li Li away, I’ll go to the back mountain to study carefully, see if there’s any replacement, or think of another way to restore the mountain to normal.”

Bai Mama nodded.

After their conversation, Bai Mama firmly supported Xie Chen sending Bai Li down the mountain first.

“Isn’t Li Li running the cat café?”

Bai Mama held her precious child, smiling: “You go back and check on the cat café, just right, take more photos and send them to me.”

Bai Li looked at Xie Chen: “Sir, aren’t you going back?”

“A Chen will leave later. If you want to wait for him, then wait downstairs with Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, okay?”

Bai Mama coaxed the cat very well and in the end really persuaded Bai Li to wait downstairs with his brothers for Xie Chen.

The little cat had barely left when Xie Chen immediately went to the back mountain.

Bai Mama didn’t follow him; she still wanted to make up a reason so that no one would investigate why Xie Chen stayed behind.
