Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Fortunately, before poor Third Brother was about to die of anger, Bai Li slowly added another sentence.

“I haven’t transformed yet.”

When these words fell, Tan Yi almost couldn’t catch his breath, but finally managed to take it in.

“Little Bai Li, did you learn this from Fourth Brother?!” Tan Yi scratched his brother’s belly, making him kick his legs and beg for mercy, barely calming his emotions.

Bai Li meowed loudly from being scratched, his palm-sized little body struggling fiercely.

After a while,

Bai Li wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes and told Third Brother about how Xie Chen couldn’t sleep at night and only he was there driving away the dark mist.

When Tan Yi heard about the dark mist, he felt an indescribable eerie sensation.

Since when did their Li Li chase away some dark mist that nobody else knew about?

Bai Li was determined to stay and help Xie Chen drive away the dark mist, and seeing this, Tan Yi didn’t force him to leave.

“I’ll stay with you.”

Tan Yi made an agreement with his brother: “It’s okay to help out here at night, but later you still have to come back to our own home.”

Bai Li obediently nodded.

That night,

All the little cats under the overpass were picked up by people Tan Yi sent.

Only Bai Li and the stubborn Third Brother stayed at Xie Chen’s house.

Tan Yi lived next door to Xie Chen, and at night, he repeatedly reminded Bai Li:

“After he falls asleep, you come out and find Third Brother, understand?”

“I understand.”

After Third Brother rubbed his ears and reminded him more than ten times, Bai Li could now recite this by heart.

Before sending Bai Li next door, Tan Yi locked the door and transformed on the spot.

A patterned cat much bigger than Bai Li appeared, meowing softly as he pounced on the white little kitten sitting on the ground.

The big cat stretched out his paw, pinned the little kitten down, and then seriously began licking the little kitten’s fur.

“Meow meow.”Third Brother, don’t lick my fur.

The wet little kitten being licked tried to struggle, but the struggle was useless.

After Tan Yi finished licking his brother’s fur and confirmed his health was good, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Meow, meow ow.”

After the checkup, Li Li, go find the Xie family, the earlier the better.

A moment later, a pitiful little kitten with still-wet fur squeezed into Xie Chen’s bedroom.

“Meow.”

Master.

Xie Chen picked up the kitten and took him for a bath.

The bathroom, which originally only had Xie Chen’s things, now had many cat-specific products added.

Cat shampoo and care set, cat comb, cat deworming medicine, cat nail clippers.

After the bath, Xie Chen used a hairdryer to dry all the fur, then took out the nail clippers.

“Li Li, do you want your nails trimmed?”

Bai Li reflexively shook his head: “No, don’t cut.”

Xie Chen held his paw, looking at it: “Good boy, they’re a bit long, need to trim a little.”

Bai Li was still very afraid of nail clipping; he rarely dared to resist Xie Chen.

“Master, don’t cut my nails.”

Bai Li’s meows carried a pleading tone; he snuggled up, wanting to hold Xie Chen’s big hand.

Xie Chen placed the noisy little kitten on the bed, but the nail clippers didn’t leave his hand.

Bai Li’s chubby body trembled, tearful eyes looking at Xie Chen.

“It hurts.”

His nails were always trimmed by his dad; in his memory, a human once clipped his nails carelessly and caused a little bleeding.

“Good boy, it won’t hurt.”

Xie Chen lowered his eyes, and at the moment he held Bai Li’s paw, a sudden image flashed through his mind.

In the image, a human little boy was holding a crying kitten hiccupping hard.

The kitten lifted its paw; one claw tip was bleeding a bit from clipping.

That image flashed past quickly; Xie Chen tried to catch it clearly but failed.

His thoughts returned to reality.Xie Chen raised his hand to press his temple. After calming down, he turned on his phone.

“Li Li.”

Xie Chen set up the phone: “I consulted the vet about how to trim nails.”

“Look up, I opened a video call with the doctor, so he can watch me trim.”

On the other end of the video call was someone Bai Li recognized.

“Meow meow.”

It was Doctor Qiu He.

Doctor Qiu He was very skilled and had cured both Diandian and Da Hui.

Seeing Doctor Qiu He there, Bai Li was a little less resistant to Xie Chen trimming his nails.

Xie Chen had learned how to trim nails beforehand, but when holding Bai Li’s pink paw pads and clipping his nails, his face still tensed up.

He lowered his eyes, concentrating on the faint red bloodlines on the claws.

When trimming cat nails, you mustn’t cut the bloodline, or it will hurt.

After trimming all the nails on the front and back paws clean, both Bai Li and Xie Chen suddenly relaxed.

Bai Li stretched out his body, like a soft cat pancake.

Xie Chen put away the nail clippers, hung up the video call with Qiu He, and poked the cat pancake.

The cat pancake curled up again into a white round ball.

“Meow.”

It’s itchy.

Bai Li held onto Xie Chen’s finger, not letting him poke randomly.

After playing for a while, Xie Chen finally got up to take a shower.

The night deepened.

Next door, Tan Yi was on his phone, contacting his frantic manager.

“I’ll be back tomorrow, don’t worry, I’m feeling great now, hehe, mood’s super good hahaha.”

Tan Yi laughed through the entire chat window.

Manager: “Weathered jpg /”

Manager: “Tan ge, you can’t keep doing this! We still have a bunch of work.”

Manager: “We have to make good money! Holding a big bowl to catch noodle tears jpg /”“Earn, earn, earn.”

Thinking of the standard of meals Xie Chen provided for Li Li, Tan Yi’s eyes hardened: “I want to earn more money than Xie Chen!”

Manager: “Panda head confused jpg /”

Manager: “The Xie Chen you’re talking about, is it the Xie Chen I’m thinking of?”

Tan Yi: “Yes, it’s him.”

Manager: “Go wash up and sleep jpg /”

Manager: “Brother, don’t always have these unrealistic dreams.”

The Xie family has deep roots, the assets in Xie Chen’s hands, and his net worth...

Sigh.

The manager thought simply that if Tan Yi wanted to compete with him, he’d probably have to sell himself every day.

Tan Yi, bruised but not discouraged, anyway now he has his little brother in hand, whenever he needs, sucking on his brother gives him tons of motivation for work!

At 3 a.m.

Originally staying up bitterly waiting for his little brother to come back to sleep, Tan Yi had no idea who had fallen asleep.

Forget waiting for his brother, probably if someone tied him up and threw him out now, he wouldn’t even notice.

In Xie Chen’s bedroom.

Bai Li, having chased away the dark mist, was also sleepy. He didn’t sleep in his cat bed, but flopped onto Xie Chen’s chest, snuggling against him, sleeping soundly.

Close to dawn, the sleeping little kitten felt warm.

He closed his eyes, meowed softly, and unconsciously rubbed his freshly clipped claws against Xie Chen’s chest.

Xie Chen opened his eyes, paused when he saw the little kitten on his chest.

Then he raised his hand, not to put the little kitten back into the cat bed, but gently patted the kitten who was murmuring in his sleep.

Soon.

The murmuring stopped, and with Xie Chen’s soothing pats, Bai Li fell back into a deep sleep.

That little discomfort just now, and the abnormal warmth, in this half-awake moment, neither the human nor the cat noticed.

The next day.

After waking, Bai Li’s third brother was still not awake.

Standing at the door of third brother’s room, Bai Li felt this was a little unusual.

“Meow.”

Bai Li patted Xie Chen’s arm and asked, “Do you have the key?”“Yes.”

The door opened, and Tan Yi, still not fully recovered from illness and having run around all day, unfortunately caught a fever.

If Bai Li hadn’t forced the door open and left him here unattended, he might have burned to death.

The manager hurried over anxiously to pull him away, and Bai Li, worried about his brother, followed along.

Before leaving,

Bai Li tilted his head back, holding Xie Chen’s big hand, his beautiful amber eyes reflecting Xie Chen’s silhouette: “Sir, I will come to find you at night.”

Hearing this, Xie Chen’s expression softened, and his free hand stroked the little kitten’s furry head in front of him: “Okay.”

Bai Li tugged on his fingers and quietly made a small request.

“I want to kiss your head.”

“Chu.”

Xie Chen bent down and kissed the furry head.

Bai Li happily covered his head with his paw and turned to leave with his brother.

Luckily, Tan Yi was feverish and delirious, eyes still closed, so he didn’t see the scene of his brother being kissed on the head by someone else.

Otherwise, this illness might have caused him to explode with anger.

The manager looked at the “super healthy” Tan Yi and said tiredly: “Forget it, the recent work will have to be postponed again.”

Because of Tan Yi’s stubbornness, he had offended quite a few big shots.

The manager held the little kitten, said to be raised by Tan Yi, while anxiously watching Tan Yi.

The company valued Tan Yi now because his business skills were indeed good, and he worked hard, bringing in a lot of money.

But...

Those people he offended also made the company bear a lot of pressure for him.

The manager clearly knew that recently the higher-ups had been weighing the situation.

Whether it was worth offending those people just to keep Tan Yi.

“Sigh.”

The manager sighed for the third time, patted the little kitten’s head, and couldn’t help but say to the clear-eyed kitten: “Tan Yi’s days are going to get rough.”

Bai Li: “?”

Bai Li widened his eyes and looked at the manager.

Why would his third brother’s days get rough?The manager saw that Tan Yi was in a deep sleep, and since this little kitten was just a kitten and couldn’t talk, he simply whispered his troubles softly to the little kitten.

“There are a few senior executives in the company who have designs on Brother Tan. This time, they’re leading it again...”

“They’re just forcing Brother Tan to compromise. Once Brother Tan is willing to bow his head, they’ll definitely get Brother Tan into bed.”

“Damn, a bunch of trash.”

The manager had been with Tan Yi for so long and had feelings for him. He didn’t want Tan Yi to do those things he was unwilling to do.

But as just a manager, still drawing a salary from the company, what else could he do?

At the end, the manager looked enviously at Bai Li: “It’s better to be a cat.”

“Little kittens don’t have any troubles; every day they just eat, drink, and sleep.”

The little kitten being envied by the manager looked troubled on his cat face.

No.

Little kittens do have worries.

For example, this little kitten in the car was worrying—

“What if Third Brother is about to get trapped? What should I do?”

“Why are there so many people wanting to sleep with my Third Brother?”

“The elders said a little kitten can only have one partner, and Third Brother can only have one partner.”

The little kitten silently walked over and sat next to Third Brother, looking at Third Brother’s pale face, continuing with new worries.

“How can I protect Third Brother’s purity?”

The car sped along, finally arriving at the hospital.

Tan Yi was taken in for treatment, while Bai Li was held by the manager, who busily ran errands.

After hooking up the IV and moving to a single room, Tan Yi’s condition stabilized.

Bai Li climbed out of the manager’s arms, jumped onto Tan Yi’s bed, sat next to Tan Yi’s face, and tenderly stroked Tan Yi’s cheek.

“Meow meow.”

Third Brother.

Bai Li lay beside Tan Yi, feeling very sorry for him.

The manager had initially worried that the little kitten would fuss over Tan Yi, but seeing him behave obediently now, he didn’t pick him up again.

“Little kitten, I’m going to buy breakfast for Tan Yi, you stay here.”

After saying this, the manager pushed the door and left.

Bai Li watched his figure disappear, withdrew his gaze, and continued watching Third Brother.Third Brother is very handsome, and all the cats on Monster Mountain are very handsome.

Bai Li lay on the empty pillow, staring at Third Brother’s handsome face, his little head still full of worries.

He didn’t want Third Brother to be slept with by many people…

But what could he do?

Unable to think of a solution, Bai Li decided to ask Master for advice!

Author’s note: What worries could a little kitten possibly have?

Li Li: Someone wants to sleep with Third Brother. QAQ
