“Sir.”

Bai Li was being held by Xie Chen, leaning against his chest, facing outward.

He was a little puzzled. “Why did everyone move out?”

Xie Chen gently pinched his little paw and said in a slow voice, “Because they didn’t like cats.”

Bai Li knew that quite a few of the shop owners here didn’t like cats.

When they, the little cats who delivered fish, passed by those people’s doors, they would sometimes have dirty water deliberately thrown at them!

Bai Li had gotten his fur dirtied that way before.

Mei Mei and the others had mentioned it too, but there was never anything they could do.

After all, it was someone else’s territory.

“Will the new owners who move in like cats?” Bai Li tilted his head and asked Xie Chen.

“They will.”

Xie Chen looked down and replied softly, “Our Li Li is so adorable. Of course the new owners will like you.”

Bai Li actually didn’t ask for much affection. His wish was very simple.

“I just hope the new owners won’t splash water on us cats.”

He didn’t want to get his fur wet again.

Xie Chen hummed in agreement and promised him, “No one will splash water anymore.”

The man and the cat went to the seafood shop, where Boss Liu’s eyes lit up upon seeing Xie Chen.

“Brother Xie, those people—”

Before he could finish, Xie Chen suddenly looked up and gave him a glance.

Boss Liu was sharp and instantly got the hint, swallowing back what he was about to say.

“Li Li’s outfit looks so nice today.”

Boss Liu praised Bai Li, “This red clothing is festive.”

Being praised, Bai Li happily patted Xie Chen.Xie Chen took out a bag of wedding candy from his pocket and handed it to Boss Liu.

But aside from giving the candy, he didn’t mention anything else.

Boss Liu didn’t recognize Li Li in human form, so even if he told Boss Liu about their happy event, it would probably just leave him confused.

Since Xie Chen personally delivered the cat, from then on, the new shop owners treated the little kittens passing by their doors with utmost politeness.

No one dared to mess with this group of cats anymore.

Night fell.

Bai Li counted on his little paws, calculating the time.

He was figuring out the date for the wedding blessing between Brother Black-footed Cat and Yan Cen. As he counted, he yawned.

“Sir.”

The snow-white little kitten still hadn’t grown any bigger—still tiny.

He climbed into Xie Chen’s lap, who was sitting on the bed reading something, and burrowed his head into Xie Chen’s chest.

“Wanna sleep.”

The little kitten sent a sleep invitation to his sir. Normally, after issuing this invitation, the usual routine would follow—his sir would sing to him.

Xie Chen quickly finished reading the documents in his hand, then set them aside and picked up the squirming little furball.

“Alright, bedtime.”

He fluffed the pillow, letting the little kitten rest on his arm.

Bai Li lay on his side, face to face with him.

At such a close distance, Xie Chen thought to himself, it was fortunate he was holding the little kitten and not the transformed Li Li.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Which song do you want to hear?”

Xie Chen, the personal jukebox, went online once again. The song-choosing kitty could pick whatever he wanted.

To the sound of the singing, the little kitten slept peacefully.

The next morning.

Bright and early, Tan Yi came knocking.

“Li Li.”

Tan Yi brought his younger brother over and personally helped him put on a bright red cat outfit. “Third Brother has something to ask you.”

Bai Li was a little groggy in the morning. He lifted his paw to rub his face and obediently said, “Go ahead.”

“There’s a role for a little kitten missing in Third Brother’s film crew. Want to make a short cameo?”"The pay is really good. Our crew's director is kinda dumb but loaded."

Tan Yi grinned as he asked his money-loving baby brother. The cameo as a cat was easy work, and it would all be under his watch, so nothing would go wrong. That’s why Tan Yi came to ask for his brother’s opinion.

"Where’s the shoot?"

Hearing that the pay was high, Bai Li’s ears twitched slightly as he took the initiative to ask.

“In the neighboring city. Not far—won’t take long to drive there.”

Tan Yi knew his brother’s schedule: “Just right. Aren’t you on holiday from the seafood shop? Come with Third Brother for a day’s shoot.”

Bai Li hesitated a little.

He was indeed about to be on break, but during that time, he wanted to be with his sir.

Beside him, Xie Chen caught the glance the little kitten sent his way.

He looked over at Tan Yi. “The day after tomorrow?”

“That works,” Tan Yi replied.

Xie Chen nodded and scooped the little kitten into his arms. “Li Li, I just happen to have a business trip to the neighboring city the day after tomorrow. If you want to go to the set, I’ll take you with me.”

“Mm!”

Since Sir said so, and Bai Li had already been a little tempted, now he had no reason to refuse.

Taking advantage of the holiday to do a short gig, earn some money, and give a wedding gift to Brother Black—it sounded perfect.

The little kitten was very pleased with his plan.

In no time, the holiday at the seafood shop arrived again.

After receiving their wages, Bai Li gave the other kittens some pocket money. The rest was saved up according to their request.

“Mei Mei, Da Hui, Dian Dian.”

Before leaving for the neighboring city, Bai Li went to Tan Yi’s villa to say goodbye to the little kittens.

“If you want to buy snacks, go to Doctor Qiu He.”

Bai Li reminded them, “It’s cold outside now, so you’d better stay home and sleep—don’t go out and freeze.”

Mei Mei shook her head. “Big Brother, the few of us still want to go out and see if there are any stray cats.”

“That’s fine. If you see any strays, just bring them back.”

“Okay.”

After the little kittens finished their internal meeting, Mei Mei and the others came over and nuzzled Bai Li affectionately. Only then did they let him leave.They took Xie Chen’s car to the neighboring city.

Originally, Tan Yi had someone arranged to pick him up, but he didn’t want to ride with them—he insisted on being with his little brother.

In the car.

To be a bit more comfortable, Tan Yi turned back into his blue-and-white cat form.

Bai Xiao Liu didn’t come along this time. He had recently accompanied Tan Yi outside for quite a while and hadn’t returned to the lab, which delayed a lot of his work.

Now that Tan Yi was slightly less entangled with that man, Bai Xiao Liu went back to the lab to catch up.

In the backseat of the car, one big and one small cat were happily playing.

Tan Yi bit his little brother’s tail, which made his brother bite him back in retaliation.

As everyone knows, a cat and its tail are independent beings—they can be separated.

Last time, Xie Chen had messed with a cat tail and made the little milk kitten tear up...

This time, he thought for a moment and decided to try it with the blue-and-white cat.

He lifted the blue-and-white cat’s tail and then waved it in front of him.

“Meow—OW!”

The last "OW!" was a tragic cat scream.

Xie Chen: “……”

Xie Chen let go of the tail, looked at the dumbfounded little milk kitten, then glanced at the puffed-up blue-and-white cat clutching his tail.

Good.

Biting one’s own tail wasn’t something only his milk kitten did.

Which meant, his own little milk kitten wasn’t dumb.

After confirming that this was feline instinct and not a moment of idiocy from the kitten, Xie Chen gave a very insincere apology to the blue-and-white cat: “Sorry.”

“I thought it was Li Li’s tail—mistaken identity.”

Tan Yi: “!!!”

Tan Yi was absolutely furious.

He and his little brother weren’t even the same color! How could he have mistaken them!

The blue-and-white cat pounced to fight, but the little milk kitten stuck in the middle quickly spread his paws to stop Third Brother.

“Meow!”

Third Brother, wait!

The little milk kitten tried to hug Third Brother with his paws, but unfortunately, Third Brother was too big for him to hold onto.The two cats tumbled together, with the culprit Xie someone: “…”

Hmm.

Is this what cats fighting looks like?

Their little Li Li may be small, but he still had plenty of spirit. Especially after he was originally trying to stop the fight but got butted on the head by Third Brother and got annoyed, then he pounced.

Cute but fierce.

Two cats plus one man who kept stirring up trouble, causing cat fights.

And so, the commotion continued all the way.

The driver in front, hearing the meows and the master's suppressed laughter, thought it was quite lively.

Finally, the car arrived at the destination.

Xie Chen came to the neighboring city for an important business event, while Bai Li was there to earn some extra money.

The driver, following Xie Chen’s instructions, drove the car to the filming crew’s location.

Bai Li, tired from playing, sat dozing in Xie Chen’s arms.

“Are you going in with me?”

Tan Yi transformed back into human form, walked over to him, and seeing Bai Li still wanting to go forward, casually asked.

“I’m going to see the director.”

Xie Chen had heard Tan Yi mention this silly but wealthy director before, and he also knew him—back in the early days, they had some dealings.

“Alright then.”

Tan Yi knew Xie Chen was worried about Li Li, so he came to check things out.

The two men and one cat entered the filming crew. People came and went, busy with their own work, but upon seeing them, all eyes focused on them.

Wherever Xie Chen went, he was the center of attention.

He stood next to Tan Yi; both were striking in appearance, and they even had past rumors together—their CP fan club hadn’t disbanded yet.

“Wow, are they handing out candy?”

There were fans shipping this “cult CP” duo, right there on the set.

But after only a few seconds, someone poured cold water on them: “Wake up.”

“Xie Chen already has an official partner, and that kid’s looks are basically off the charts.”

CP fans from opposing sides, looking at each other, both thinking the other side was so annoying.

Xie Chen ignored those looks and walked straight up to the director, greeting him.“Long time no see.”

The director was a bearded man in his forties, with a very good temper. Just as Tan Yi said, he was silly but rich. However, he was very dedicated to filming and was quite well-known in the industry.

The two talked, while Tan Yi stood nearby without interrupting.

After a moment,

The director looked at the snow-white little kitten in Xie Chen’s arms and smiled so widely his teeth disappeared from sight: “This little kitten fits our requirements very well. Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t be mistreated.”

Xie Chen patted the kitten’s head politely: “Then today, thank you for taking care of him.”

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all.”

The director also quite liked this adorable little kitten.

He opened his arms: “His name is Li Li, right? Come, let me hold you.”

Bai Li was an obedient cat. He looked at Xie Chen, and after seeing Xie Chen nod, he stretched out his little paws and let the director hold him.

The director found him too well-behaved to resist and couldn’t help but smile more warmly in his eyes.

“Li Li is really obedient and doesn’t seem shy.”

“Mm, just tell him directly what to do later.”

Xie Chen settled the little kitten, then went to talk to Tan Yi nearby.

“I won’t be able to come over until tonight.”

Xie Chen looked at the little kitten interacting well with the director, then withdrew his gaze and instructed Tan Yi.

“If anything happens on set, call me. My phone will always be on.”

“Got it.”

Tan Yi waved and said goodbye to him: “You go quickly, no one will trouble Li Li.”

No one here was blind.

The little kitten was personally delivered by Xie Chen. Who would dare lay a hand on Xie Chen’s cat?

Xie Chen’s precious cat was naturally safe from harm.

But Tan Yi wasn’t Xie Chen’s beloved, so comparatively, Tan Yi was much more at risk than his own brother.

“Li Li, can you understand the lines I’m telling you?”

The director held the script, squatted in front of the little kitten, explaining what to do later.

Bai Li obediently nodded: “Meow.”

I understand.

The director’s scenes for the little kitten weren’t many, but very important.Before Bai Li arrived, the crew had also found a few cats, but either the cats’ appearances didn’t meet the standards, or although they looked suitable, they were completely uncooperative during filming.

Cats generally fear strangers.

There were many people on set, and such an environment was naturally hard for cats to adapt to.

Making them act in a film was really a hardship for the cats.

“Meow.”

I’m ready.

The little kitten filming for the first time wasn’t shy at all. His round little body stood up slightly, full of fighting spirit.

The director looked on more and more pleased.

“Alright, all departments prepare, Tan Yi, Li Li, on set.”

Cats acting with people attracted quite a crowd, even people from the neighboring crew came over to watch the excitement.

Coincidentally,

The neighboring crew was new, starring Liu Yi, who had quite a bit of connection with Tan Yi.
