He glanced at this mixed-race person again, confirmed that he had never seen him before, then cautiously walked around and left.
But the man followed behind at a steady pace.
Bai Li looked back, then started running quickly.
He ran fast, and when he stopped, the strange man behind him was no longer following.
Bai Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Since many people who came were from the dance circle, and the dance circle never lacked handsome men and beautiful women, looking around was still quite pleasing to the eye.
"Xiao Liu, Zhou Zhi is also here. I'll go say a few words to her. We'll leave soon after."
"Okay."
Bai Liu yawned: "He probably didn't follow us, let's go, let's try to get back quickly to see Li Li."
If they didn't return soon, Li Li would probably be unhappy.
Tan Yi heard the name of his beloved younger brother, his resentment towards a certain idiot grew even stronger inside.
Damn it.
If he wasn't being followed so closely, and Xiao Liu wasn't worried about his safety, following him all the time, the two of them would have been able to go back a long time ago.
Today they came here for a business mission, and Zhou Zhi was here too. Tan Yi had always wanted to ask Zhou Zhi to guide him a bit.
The two brothers went to find Zhou Zhi, and luckily Zhou Zhi was not far from them.
Next to Zhou Zhi was a young fresh-faced man, recently suddenly popular because of starring in an online drama. The male lead was at a rising stage, and his public persona in the circle was similar to Tan Yi's, so the two were true rivals.
When they met now, the rival had a polite smile on his face, but the hostility in his eyes was obvious.
"Miss Zhou."
Tan Yi lowered his posture, greeted Zhou Zhi, then tentatively asked if she could give him some lessons.
Before Zhou Zhi could speak, Tan Yi's rival spoke up.
"You're asking too late. I already asked just now. Sister Zhou said she doesn't teach anyone. Oh, and Sister Zhou introduced me to her junior apprentice; she told me to learn from her."
The rival's words clearly boasted about Zhou Zhi's special treatment of him.
Tan Yi glanced at him, too lazy to bother.
Zhou Zhi's expression was gentle, and her gaze at Tan Yi also carried a smile."This is my contact information and address."
She found a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, handing it to Tan Yi: "Call me in advance before you come."
Tan Yi: "..."
The rival: "..."
Both were completely stunned.
"Y-you're willing to teach me?" Tan Yi asked in disbelief. Zhou Zhi had taken apprentices before; he had heard that after one of her apprentices got into trouble, no one else had been able to hire her.
When Tan Yi asked, it was just a gamble.
The rival came back to his senses, losing patience, and spoke to Zhou Zhi with a tone of dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't teach anyone anymore?"
Zhou Zhi smiled: "Tan Yi is not an outsider."
Tan Yi: "?"
What?
Since when did I become one of her own?
Zhou Zhi only said she would teach him, but did not reveal any other information.
The reason was simple: Zhou Zhi also knew Li Li had come to catch her brother. Since that's the case, she would wait and see Li Li catch the brother first.
If she told the two brothers in advance, how could they play hide-and-seek?
It must be said, Zhou Zhi, who looked elegant and ethereal, occasionally had a bit of a mischievous streak.
Tan Yi felt like he had received a pie from the sky, walking around in a daze.
Bai Liu frowned, looking at Zhou Zhi with a gaze full of inquiry.
Zhou Zhi remained calm, pretending not to notice Bai Xiao Liu’s probing glance.
Having arranged a meeting with Zhou Zhi infuriated the rival.
Tan Yi felt very satisfied.
On the other side,
Bai Li was still on guard against the man he saw earlier. There was a small sofa in the corner suitable for resting.
Sitting on the sofa, he could hide himself completely.
Bai Li took some food and drink, planning to sit for a while before looking for his brother.
"So spicy."
Bai Li spat out the wine-filled chocolate he had just put in his mouth onto a tissue, then threw it into the trash bin.The alcohol in the wine-filled chocolate was spicy and very unfriendly to a sensitive tongue.
Bai Li changed to another snack, slightly filling his stomach, then turned and leaned against the back of the small sofa.
Leaning there, he saw that mixed-race man again.
The man’s presence was too strong; Bai Li could easily spot him.
The other seemed to sense it and looked over.
Their eyes met.
Bai Li pulled his head back.
After a moment, Bai Li looked at the approaching man with resignation: "Why are you following me?"
"I want to chat with you."
This man looked very imposing but unexpectedly liked to chat.
He handed Bai Li a small cake as a peace offering: "It’s sweet, you can try it."
Bai Li didn’t eat the cake but continued asking: "Get to the point, what exactly do you want?"
The man was about to speak when Bai Li quickly added: "I don’t make friends, I have a fiancé."
Definitely don’t be like those people who just came to talk to him earlier.
The man chuckled. "Don’t worry, I’m not here to make friends with you."
"Then what do you want?"
"I’m here to ask you to stand up for justice for me," the man said deliberately.
Hearing this, Bai Li’s expression clearly said: What kind of lunatic is this?
The lunatic himself didn’t even know he was crazy.
The news he dropped shocked Bai Li one after another.
"I was abandoned by Tan Yi after causing chaos."
Such a Chinese-foreign mixed-race guy, and quite good with idioms. He calmly said to Bai Li, "You’re Tan Yi’s younger brother. I know he values you very much."
"So, I’m asking you to help me."
Bai Li didn’t expect this man to be their third brother’s... whatever; he had no experience dealing with such matters.
"I-I don’t know how to help you."
Bai Li stammered: "If you were abandoned by Third Brother, you can go find him yourself."
The man thought to himself, of course your third brother can’t run away.But in front of this so-called beloved treasure of the Bai family, he naturally had to show some pity points.
"He abandoned me, and there’s no use in me looking for him."
The man said, then added: "He not only rejected me but also abandoned our child."
Bai Li: "!!!"
Bai Li’s eyes widened in shock, and the nuts he had just picked up slipped from his hand.
"A-are you a girl?"
So tall, so strong, voice very masculine, and short hair.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a girl!
But he said he had a child with Third Brother...
Bai Li agonized, thinking, in this kind of girl’s position, it would be like the husband suddenly becoming a girl who can have children.
No wonder Third Brother has to hide.
Bai Li felt it was so scary.
He shook his head, hastily forcing himself not to imagine the husband’s image anymore.
"Now, can you help me?" the other asked again.
Bai Li quickly nodded.
Although this third sister-in-law... was like this, but since there was a child, Bai Li could not let the little kitten of the Bai family be pitifully left out alone.
With the addition of a little kitten, Bai Li’s attitude towards the third sister-in-law changed.
He proactively brought her food, personally poured drinks, being very attentive.
"Here, eat."
He piled the food and drinks in front of the third sister-in-law, hesitated a bit, then softly asked, "Can I see the little kitten? How old is he?"
The man paused with the food in his hand and instinctively asked, "How do you know it’s—"
His words abruptly stopped.
Bai Li looked at him blankly. In that moment, some intense emotions seemed to surge in the man’s heart, but were forcibly suppressed into calmness.
"It’s nothing."
He lifted the glass, took a sip, then said, "The kitten is very young."
"When your Third Brother is willing to accept me, I’ll bring the kitten for you to see."
"Okay!"
A new kitten added to the family made Bai Li quite happy. He rummaged through his pockets and took out all the money he had."This is a red envelope for the little kitten."
As the little uncle of the little kitten, Bai Li was supposed to give a red envelope to the kitten according to custom.
The man didn’t take it. He stood up, told Bai Li he had something else to do, and turned to leave.
Bai Li raised his hand and waved enthusiastically.
"See you next time!"
Third Brother was good-looking. Although Sister-in-law was a bit special compared to ordinary girls, if the little kitten inherited Third Brother’s looks, he would still be very handsome.
Bai Li thought of the soft little kitten, feeling very happy inside.
Having stayed on the sofa long enough,
Bai Li adjusted his clothes, ate fruit candy, and scanned the venue with his eyes.
Maybe his sincere intention to catch his brother moved some deity, because after being here so long, he finally spotted the familiar Third Brother!
Third Brother was holding a wine glass, chatting and laughing with a beautiful lady.
Sixth Brother was not by Third Brother’s side.
Thinking of the abandoned Sister-in-law, the poor little kitten, and then looking at Third Brother, Bai Li’s expression immediately grew serious.
He chewed the candy, swallowed it, and rushed over in a few steps.
"Third Brother!"
Running up to Tan Yi, Bai Li called out sharply.
Tan Yi was stunned, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
He turned his head and looked at the suddenly appearing younger brother, forcing a smile: "Li Li..."
Damn it.
He promised Li Li yesterday he would go back, but hadn’t yet.
Not only hadn’t he returned, he got caught on the spot.
"Ahem, let me introduce you," Tan Yi said to the beautiful lady, "This is my younger brother, Bai Li."
"Li Li, she is—"
Before Tan Yi finished his introduction, Bai Li interrupted.
"Third Brother, you can introduce me next time." Bai Li hugged Tan Yi’s arm and whispered so only the two of them could hear, reminding him, "Sister-in-law told me to urge you to go home and take care of the little kitten."
Tan Yi’s face turned green.
"Did you see that idiot?" he said, looking left and right as if trying to find some idiot nearby.Bai Li patted him once, disapprovingly looking at Third Brother: "You can’t be like this."
That would be worse than Big Brother!
Big Brother and Sister-in-law still liked each other. Although it was unclear how things were progressing now, Bai Li knew they would be affectionate sooner or later.
Third Brother now had a kitten and was a father, yet still acted like this.
Because it involved that idiot, Tan Yi didn’t want to talk about it in front of outsiders, so he planned to find a more private place to talk with his younger brother.
The two moved to a corner in the corridor.
Tan Yi took a deep breath and asked his brother: "Good Li Li, what did he say to you?"
He and that idiot had picked up the kitten; the other insisted it was their son. Because of a “son,” that idiot even wanted him to get a marriage certificate.
Saying it was to give the stray kitten a complete home.
Thinking about this, Tan Yi’s head was buzzing.
Bai Li was about to tell him everything that happened just now but couldn’t focus.
Because he saw Sheng not far away!
"Third Brother, wait for me!"
Bai Li’s eyes sparkled as he ran toward Xie Chen, who had come over without anyone noticing.

Li Li: I’m going to be an uncle!
Third Brother: My secret identity is gone!
