Chapter 20

February 9, 2022 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

Li Zhenruo didn’t have great luck, but his luck wasn’t too bad either.

For the next two days, the door of the archives room was closed and no one came to open it. By Monday, he was dying and could barely stand up.

He was extremely hungry, and Li Zhenruo’s initial anger was washed away. But he also didn’t have the energy to think carefully, so he pictured pies for himself in his head. Later, he felt that it was meaningless, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep. If he was asleep, he won’t feel hungry.

When he heard the footsteps of someone walking outside, Li Zhenruo came to his senses. He stood up and walked to the door, thinking if he should grab the door to attract people’s attention. At this time, he heard the sound of someone standing in front of the door with a key to open the door.

Li Zhenruo immediately took two steps back, leaned back slightly, and made a gesture of preparation to sprint.

When the door opened, he sprang out, and this time really put all his strength out.

The person who opened the door was a woman in a white coat. Without warning, she saw a cat rushing past her feet. She screamed in fright and retreated back, and even fell to the ground.

Li Zhenruo was not in the mood to pity her at this time, so he ran to the stairwell with all his might, and then ran down.

He ran out of the door of the appraisal office, and Li Zhenruo felt that the energy accumulated in his body was instantly drained. He was chased away by the security uncle at the gate he had not seen for a long time, and his energy was all spent when he reached the side of the road.

It was still too early at this time, so he probably won’t be able to get a meal in the cafeteria.

He stood on the side of the street, he glanced left and right blankly. If there was a mirror at this time, he would probably be frightened by himself. The fur on his whole body was dirty and messy and has lost its lustre. His face was also dirty with two long tear marks under the eyes.

A few steps ahead, a mother was squatting in front of a small child on the street to wipe his hands. Besides them, there was a torn ham sausage that fell on the ground.

The child wanted to squat down to pick it up, but was pulled by his mother and said, “Don’t pick it up, you can’t eat it if it falls on the ground.”

When Li Zhenruo heard the words, he took two steps forward to smell the ham close to his nose.

The mother said quickly, “Quick, give it to this cat to eat. Don’t eat it.”

Li Zhenruo looked up at them.

The child looked at Li Zhenruo and said, “Here, for you.”

If it was the usual situation, Li Zhenruo certainly would not even consider eating these things. What’s the difference between this and rummaging over a trash can? But now he is really hungry, so hungry that his brain stops functioning.

The cheap ham gave off an attractive fragrance, and he couldn’t help sticking out his tongue to lick it.

The mother then pulled her son and said, “Look, the cat ate it. Let’s get going, and mommy will buy you other food.”

After she said that, the mother left with her son.

Li Zhenruo ate the ham sausage bit by bit and swallowed it quickly, ignoring the people around that were looking at him.

Suddenly, Li Zhenruo stopped when he noticed several people passing by him. He looked up and saw that it was three young boys, possibly students from the university across the street.

One of the boys pointed at him and said, “Look, is this the cat?”

Another said, “It seems so. A few days ago, I saw it strolling around the entrance of the cafeteria every day, but I haven’t seen it in the past two days.”

The third said, “Grab it?”

The first one said, “Just catch it like this? We might as well buy something to lure it over.”

The second one said, “Look, it’s about to finish the ham, be careful it runs away.”

The third said, “It’s so troublesome, just go and catch it.”

The first boy said, “Will this cat scratch people?” and he approached Li Zhenruo cautiously.

Li Zhenruo listened to all their words. Seeing that there was only half of the ham sausage left, but the three boys were already approaching him, he had no choice but to give it up, turned around and rushed into the grass next to him.

The three boys shouted, “Grab it!”

Li Zhenruo felt that he was still a little weak in his limbs. Although he tried his best, he couldn’t run fast because he was so hungry. He could always hear the footsteps of the three people chasing him behind him.

Although he didn’t know why they were catching him, Li Zhenruo didn’t intend to be arrested by a stranger like this.

He ran for a while, and when he saw an alley next to him, he turned a corner and ran in.

The messy footsteps behind him also chased in.

Li Zhenruo saw two oil tanks placed against the wall in front. One to accelerate the jump, and then the other to jump to the surrounding wall.

He was surprised that he had been hungry for two days but still had such explosive energy. It reminded him of watching the animal world that talked about cheetahs. After running with all their strength, if they didn’t catch prey, they probably won’t have the chance to run next time¹. He felt that this was probably his last run.

Li Zhenruo stopped and panted hard. He turned his head and saw only two boys chasing in. They stopped helplessly when they saw him running up the wall.

“What to do?” The two of them discussed.

Li Zhenruo saw that they seemed to be out of options, so he plopped down to take a breath.

The two boys were discussing whether to climb up and arrest him.

One of them said, “You climb up and it runs away. What’s the point?”

Li Zhenruo panted and said, You guys still have some brains. He turned his head to look at the fence and planned to jump down and leave. At this moment, he felt a gust of wind and realized that he had been paying too much attention to this side. He didn’t realize that a boy was closing after him from the fence. At this time, the boy picked up a long pole from nowhere and swept it towards him.

Li Zhenruo was hit on the butt with a pole and stood up unsteadily, and then was swept on his leg by a pole again. This time, he couldn’t hold it any longer and fell to the side.

If he hadn’t been so hungry to the point he couldn’t run and concentrate, would he have been pushed to this point by the three hairy boys?

Li Zhenruo felt resentful in his heart, but his body had already fallen uncontrollably and fell to the ground. This time, he fell with a thud, and his internal organs were almost displaced, but he no longer had the strength to stand up.

Two boys gathered around, and one of them said nervously, “Not dead, right?”

“It’s not dead,” said another. “Its stomach is still moving. Hold it down so that it doesn’t run away.”

At this moment, the boy who swept him with a long pole on the other side of the fence came around and said, “Call quickly.”

The second boy said, “Knock it off! Take him to the veterinary hospital to see if he has any injuries. I’m afraid that if something happens, the other party will want us to pay for it.”

The other two boys were stunned.

One of them said, “What if he was seriously injured?”

The boy said, “What can we do? Bring it to a doctor if it’s not expensive, and throw it away if it’s too expensive.” He thought about it and felt pity towards the cat, and said, “Find the public phone to call its owner and tell him where it is and let him pick it up by himself. We did our best.”

They found a woven bag to put Li Zhenruo in and took him to a nearby pet hospital.

The pain at the beginning slowly dissipated, but Li Zhenruo still had no strength to get up. He was already hungry, and he just ran with all his strength for a while just now. At this time, he really had no strength at all.

In the veterinary hospital, Li Zhenruo was tossed and turned by the doctor for a full-body examination. The fall just now did not wreck his internal organs, which means that he was just malnourished and needed an infusion.

Li Zhenruo really didn’t expect that he would be malnourished after being hungry for two or three days.

Covered with dirty and messy fur, he was placed on the examination table by the doctor, who tied all his hands and feet to immobilize him and then gave him an infusion.

The three boys saw that he was not injured, and he just had some physical problems caused by wandering. After some discussion, they went out to make a phone call.

Li Zhenruo kept his eyes closed, but he knew who they were calling. His master, who was still thinking about finding him back now, must be Li Zhenran, and not Yu Bingwei.

He didn’t refuse to see Li Zhenran. He also needed to go back to the Li family now, but he really didn’t want to be sterilized. In the end, what should he do?

About half an hour later, Li Zhenruo fell asleep after the infusion. He heard the door of the pet hospital being pushed open with some force, and someone walked in with calm footsteps.

Li Zhenran’s presence was too strong, even Li Zhenruo who had no strength was forced to open his eyes by his powerful presence.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Li Zhenran had walked to his side, and Hua Yibang was following behind Li Zhenran.

Both of them looked like a gentleman in suits, ties and shirts. They probably just rushed over from the company.

Li Zhenran saw that Li Zhenruo’s face was not looking good.

Li Zhenruo knew that Li Zhenran must be very angry with the fact that he had slipped away. However at this time, he was lying on his deathbed, and it wouldn’t be easy for Li Zhenran to get angry with him.

So he tried his best to make himself look more even like he was done for.

Li Zhenran called the doctor, asked about Li Zhenruo’s condition, and asked for a more detailed full body examination.

As for those three boys, Li Zhenran asked Hua Yibang to go and give them money.

Li Zhenruo thought in his heart that the three boys didn’t show any mercy to him, and it was really not worth it to give them so much money. But at this time he just raised his head, gave Li Zhenran a silent glance and plopped down.

The room where the examination table was located was surrounded by glass walls. He had already seen his current appearance from the reflection on the glass. He looked very really pitiful. No wonder Li Zhenran had a complicated expression and didn’t open his mouth to blame him.

Li Zhenruo had an hour of infusion. Li Zhenran sat on the stool next to him and kept looking at him.

At first, Li Zhenruo closed his eyes and fell asleep, then opened his eyes and saw that Li Zhenran kept staring at him without changing his movements. He suddenly felt a little sorry in his heart.

Regardless of the relationship between Li Zhenran and Li Zhenran in the past, now that they have been together for so long, he really has some feelings of a pet towards their owners.

Well, this kind of feeling was quite strange to say, but he was a cat. He was fed, bathed and groomed every day. Wasn’t it normal for him to have feelings for each other?

However, when he saw Li Zhenran, he thought of Li Zhenzi, and Li Zhenruo felt slightly chilled, thinking that after he returned to Li’s house, he must consider the matter about Li Zhenzi.

Chapter 19

February 1, 2022 / hoenimochi / 3 Comments

As it turned out, Li Zhenruo’s decision was very wise. He stayed at the entrance of the university cafeteria for more than an hour, and countless girls who passed by took the initiative to feed him food, and most of them were meat.

He thought of the cat food that he ate every day at Li’s house, but today, he had the opportunity to have such a meal with meat. Suddenly, he felt that the food in the school canteen had become delicious.

He was so full that he couldn’t keep his pace, so Li Zhenruo found a shady lawn and took a nap for a while.

In the end, before he woke up, he was driven away by a nearby stray cat.

The cat was a male cat. The territory and the female cat here should belong to it. Li Zhenruo trespassed into its territory without permission, which was unforgivable in its view.

Li Zhenruo has not degenerated to the point of fighting with a cat. He got up and left when the male cat threatened him. He shook off the grass on his body and went to see if he could get in the appraisal office.

In the afternoon, Li Zhenruo was lucky enough to sneak in. He had been to this appraisal office once, but he did not know where the archive room where the appraisal information was recorded.

He searched floor by floor and finally found the archive room on the sixth floor. It’s a pity that the anti-theft iron door of the archive room was locked, and there was no window above. With his ability as a half-assed cat, he definitely couldn’t break in.

After he circled around the floor where the archive room was located twice, Li Zhenruo left reluctantly.

When he went out from the gate of the appraisal office, Li Zhenruo was seen by the security guard again. The security guard picked up the long broom and pretended to chase after him. Li Zhenruo tucked his tail and ran away.

For dinner, he still went to the school cafeteria door.

Li Zhenruo even ate half a pan-fried small fish. The one who fed him the fish was a short, chubby girl with glasses. Li Zhenruo looked up at her only to think that she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Although Li Zhenruo originally didn’t like to eat fish, now as a cat, his tongue probably loved the taste.

This dinner was more filling than lunch. Since he turned into a cat, Li Zhenruo hadn’t tried to eat so much meat for a long time. He began to like this place a little bit and thought that even if he couldn’t go back to Li’s house, he could stay at the school. It was nice to be a stray cat.

In the evening, Li Zhenruo spent the night in the school. He found a clean corner, and after sniffing carefully for the presence of other cats. When there were none, he curled himself up.

Well, although there was a lot to eat, at night he started to miss his warm and clean bed again. And after wandering outside for a day, his fur was already dirty and knotted, so he missed the clear bathwater, and the comfortable touch of Li Zhenran’s slender fingers stroking his fur to dried him after taking a shower.

Therefore one cannot say that it’s only human, even a cat could always find it difficult to be satisfied with its own life.

Li Zhenruo slept until the early next morning and went to the appraisal office. The security guards were sluggish in the morning, and he smoothly got in without being caught. He stayed until the people in the laboratory got off work in the afternoon, but he still found nothing.

Li Zhenruo lingered in the neighbourhood for three or four days without giving up, drifted in during the day, looked for a place to sleep at the school at night, and pretended to be cute to eat all the food at the entrance of the cafeteria.

He really lived a good life as a stray cat.

However, today, he slowly walked to the sixth floor of the laboratory and found someone standing in front of the iron door of the archives using a key to open the door.

He hid in the corner, and after the man opened the door and went in, he sneaked in behind him.

In the beginning, he stood behind the man, and when he sat down in front of the computer, Li Zhenruo rushed to the file cabinet beside him.

This place was the most convenient place for him as a cat. He could always be silent, and he could burst out strongly. If he didn’t want his prey to find out, he could hide his whereabouts well.

There were rows of filing cabinets in the archives room, all of which were placed on the archives of the appraisal office.

Li Zhenruo hid himself behind a row of file boxes and peeked at the man’s movements through the gap in the middle. With his excellent dynamic vision, he clearly captured the sequence of numbers when the person entered the password. He took a deep breath silently and continued to stare at him without blinking. He watched him log in to the file management system and remember his password.

Right now was not the right time.

Li Zhenruo memorized the two passwords firmly and lay down quietly. He had to wait until that person left.

The man stayed in the archive room for about an hour and seemed to be entering some data. After the entry was over, he shut the computer down and left, locking the door firmly.

Li Zhenruo still did not act rashly.

He had been observing here for some days and knew that the archive room was likely to be unoccupied for a long time, and he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. As he counted the days, today happened to be Friday, and the day after tomorrow would be a holiday. The next time this room would be opened might be next Monday, and if he was unlucky, it may be next Friday.

As he thought of this, Li Zhenruo looked around and found that all the windows were locked. He jumped to the side of the windowsill and tried to unlock it from the inside, but found that it was nailed to death and could not be opened at all.

By this time, Li Zhenruo was getting even more flustered.

If he had to wait a week, would he starve to death right there? What if he had bad luck and no one came in for two or three weeks?

Li Zhenruo began to blame himself for acting rashly and doing things without considering the consequences.

But since he has come in, it’s too late to think about regretting it now. It’s better to finish what he had to do quickly, and if he’s lucky again, maybe someone would come to open the door this afternoon, and then he could slip away.

Li Zhenruo jumped to the front of the computer desk, stretched out his paws and pressed the computer on.

He still clearly remembers the power-on password and the password of the file system. His cat’s paws were inconvenient for typing and holding the mouse. At the same time, he has to be on guard that someone will come in. If someone came in and saw a cat using the computer at this time, they would probably think they were dreaming.

However, this old machine was very slow to respond, and Li Zhenruo was a little impatient. While he waited for it to be turned on, he kept tapping on the computer desktop with his cat’s paw.

As the computer finally turned on, he entered the file system and began to recall the time on the appraisal.

The appearance of that appraisal was probably the biggest setback in his 23 years of living. He had read the document over and over again, and many details had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

He entered the commission time to query, and after a while, he saw a file named Li Jianglin’s paternity test.

At this moment, Li Zhenruo’s breathing began to become rapid, and his movements were a little flustered. He had to stop and take a few deep breaths, telling himself not to be nervous.

The air was filled with the smell of old paper, and because the space was sealed off, it was particularly stuffy.

Li Zhenruo tried to relax himself, clicked into the file, and saw a row of related materials on the left, including the authorization document, appraisal certificate, and other related documents.

Among them, Li Zhenruo found a scanned copy of his ID card.

He clicked the mouse with his paw, opened the scanned ID card, and saw an unexpected person on it.

Li Zhenruo once inquired about the identity of this client. He knew that she was a young and beautiful woman. He always thought that this woman was probably a woman who had something to do with Li Jianglin because the sample submitted for inspection was from Li Jianglin’s semen. There are so many vague names in my head, but he hasn’t been able to rule them out one by one.

And now, Li Zhenruo saw that the owner of the scanned ID card was Yue Zijia.

The beautiful young woman matched the information he obtained before. As he was staring at Yue Zijia’s picture, a name popped into Li Zhenruo’s head. And now he seems to grit his teeth when he pronounces this name. It was Li Zhenzi.

After he saw this, the other documents he clicked were just meaningless information.

Both the appraisal office and the authorization document used pseudonyms, only this scanned ID card shows the client’s information, which must be the regulations of the appraisal office, and it was absolutely confidential information.

Li Zhenruo quickly shut down the system, then turned off the computer, and jumped off the computer desk.

He didn’t know how close Yue Zijia and Li Zhenzi were, but Li Zhenzi had to tease a woman when he saw them, so the relationship between the two would not be easy.

If Yue Zijia was Li Zhenzi’s lover, it would not be very difficult for Li Zhenzi to hand over his blood sample to Yue Zijia for identification, because Li Zhenzi might not want people around him, such as Su Yao to do it. He didn’t want to involve himself in it, so he found someone who couldn’t be easily linked to him and trusted them to do it.

As for whether there was anything between Li Jianglin and Yue Zijia, Li Zhenruo naturally couldn’t know now, but it was really not surprising. Yue Zijia’s current situation was hard to describe. She was the social flower of the upper class. If she and Li Jianglin were both willing to do it, it would not be considered a disadvantage.

As he thought of this, Li Zhenruo felt that his suspicion of Li Zhenzi was instantly magnified.

He plopped down quietly behind the door to calm himself down a bit because he might have to spend a long period of time in the confined area.

But he couldn’t calm down his mind no matter what. Maybe he could think carefully about it when he calmed down in the future, but at this moment, what Li Zhenruo was thinking was all about how to bring Li Zhenzi to the ground.

Li Zhenruo slowly closed his eyes.

To be honest, he was angry at first, but now Li Zhenruo felt a little sad.

Although he and Li Zhenzi had a bad relationship since they were young, and they fought in front of Li Jianglin for some trivial matters, deep down, he still felt that Li Zhenzi was his brother, not only Li Zhenzi, but Li Zhenran, and Li Zhentai, they are all his older brothers. Even if they were not from the same mother, shouldn’t an older brother protect his younger brother and stand up when his younger brother is in danger?

But Li Zhenzi was so impatient. After knowing his identity, he did not hesitate to reveal it to Li Jianglin, and in such a decisive way.

Li Zhenruo lowered his head and placed his round chin on a pair of fleshy claws.

Chapter 18

January 31, 2022 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

Later when they were eating, Li Zhenran asked a lot of things about Yu Bingwei’s filming.

Yu Bingwei gave him a gift, and of course, Li Zhenran wanted to repay the gift. Yu Bingwei didn’t want his money and didn’t let him give her another cat. But in her heart, she still looked forward to Li Zhenran giving her a bigger gift in return.

Li Zhenran didn’t say anything at the time, but afterwards, Li Zhenzi hinted to Yu Bingwei that his second brother took this matter to his heart and would definitely not wrong her.

After eating, Li Zhenran got up and walked directly out. Yu Bingwei was surprised to see the cat jump off the chair and ran out at Li Zhenran’s feet.

She turned her head somewhat bewildered and asked Li Zhenzi, “What did your second brother put in Dumpling?”

Li Zhenzi said, “Put in what? Do you think he put in a magical potion to hold Dumpling under a spell? How would I know?”

But after a while, he said, “This cat is quite smart, like a child.”

Yu Bingwei had raised Li Zhenruo for almost a month, but she never noticed it.

Walking out of the restaurant door, Li Zhenran said goodbye to them. When he was about to get in the car, Yu Bingwei suddenly stopped him.

Yu Bingwei said, “By the way, Mr. Li, I asked someone before and they said that if you want to neuter male cats, it is best to do it six months before it reached sexual maturity. I calculated the time, if you want to operate on Dumpling, you should do it after two weeks.”

Li Zhenruo suddenly flew into a rage and stood up. He didn’t expect to be exposed, and he couldn’t hold back a threatening roar at Yu Bingwei.

Who used to say how pathetic it was to castrate him and would not sterilize him? It’s a shame he still liked Yu Bingwei so much. As a result, now that they were separated, she dared to turn around and even stab him. As expected, the most poisonous thing was a woman’s heart!

Yu Bingwei was startled by him. She looked at him and forgot to say anything for a moment.

Li Zhenran said calmly, “Thank you for reminding me. I will arrange the time.”

After saying that, he bent down to pick Li Zhenruo up and got into the car.

Li Zhenruo’s heart was in a mess and he couldn’t calm down for a long time. He was nervous, thinking that Li Zhenran would arrange a time, suddenly raised his paw and grabbed Li Zhenran’s sleeve.

“What are you doing?” Li Zhenran glanced at him.

“Meow!” If Li Zhen wants to communicate with Li Zhenran and make sure not to take him to neuter.

Of course, they can’t communicate with words.

Li Zhenran looked at him and after a while said, “Can you understand what she just said?”

Li Zhenruo was taken aback, and asked in his heart, Should I pretend not to understand? But on second thought, who would have imagined whether he understood it or not, so he shouted again, “Meow!”

Li Zhenran propped his chin with one hand and said to him, “Surgery must be done, otherwise it will be uncomfortable when you are in rut¹, you know?”

He knew, but he still didn’t want to do it.

But he had no way to express his wishes to Li Zhenran. He could only express to him that he was upset. After meowing for a while and seeing that it bore no effect, Li Zhenruo jumped off the back seat and hid in the corner of the carriage, feeling depressed.

When they came home in the evening, Li Zhenruo heard that Li Zhenran really called Hua Yibang and asked him to make an appointment for a pet hospital to sterilize Li Zhenruo.

At that moment, as a former man, and a male cat now, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky has fallen.

He didn’t go into Li Zhenran’s room all night, and in his heart, he was thinking how deep Yu Bingwei had stabbed him. If Li Zhenran insists on sterilizing him, then his only choice is to leave the Li family and never come back.

He would rather go out and be a stray cat.

However, he didn’t know that it was very difficult for a Garfield cat wandering outside to survive, because their mouth is too short, so it was very difficult to catch food.

Li Zhenruo was struggling on his side, but Li Zhenran had already set him a time for surgery.

Li Zhenruo overheard the phone call between him and Hua Yibang, but it was not like Li Zhenran was making a call behind his back. After the time had been decided, Li Zhenruo felt that it was useless to ask Li Zhenran this time. The only way if he wanted to avoid it was to leave Li’s house.

It had been nearly half a year since he became a cat, and he could finally sneak into Li’s house. He hadn’t got any clues about who killed him, but now he had to face the risk of not being able to continue to be a man.

He wanted to escape this time, and then came back after two days. He wondered if Li Zhenran would forgive him and be understanding enough to not let him go through with this surgery?

Li Zhenruo was in a mess. Early in the morning of the scheduled operation, he slipped out of the small building and went directly to the garage to lie low.

The garage was dimly lit. When Li Zhentai’s driver came to drive the car, he took advantage while the other person opened the door and came out to take something to get in and hide himself in the passenger’s seat. This time he remembered to pull back his tail.

No one noticed him.

Later when it was time for breakfast, Li Zhenran began to look for the cat everywhere.

Everyone was at a loss, no one knew where the cat at home had gone.

Li Zhenruo took a deep breath and waited silently.

Until Li Zhentai finished his meal and got into the car to go to the company, no one at home found him.

After the driver started the car, Li Zhentai sat in the back seat and said with some amusement, “The second child is looking for his cat everywhere.”

The driver replied after hearing the words, “It’s not like he’s in a rut and slipped out, right?”

Li Zhentai smiled and said, “Ouch, that’s a bad coincidence. He should have sent it to operate it yesterday.”

However the small talk was nothing but a joke, Li Zhentai obviously didn’t care about Li Zhenruo. He was never mentioned on the road after that.

Li Zhenruo who lay under the seat didn’t know how far he drove out. He just felt that time had passed for a long time, and no one had noticed him yet. In the end, he could be at ease.

But he still lay motionless and didn’t make a sound.

Once Li Zhentai arrived at the company, he opened the rear door and got off.

Li Zhenruo didn’t hesitate and rushed out all of a sudden.

Li Zhentai was taken aback and said, “What?”

The driver quickly turned his head only to see the back of Li Zhenruo running vigorously. He hurriedly pulled the door to get out of the car, and said, “Isn’t this the cat the second young master was looking for? When did it get into the car?”

Li Zhentai subconsciously followed towards him, but Li Zhenruo ran out of sight in an instant.

He stood still and when he came back to his senses. He then pulled out his cell phone to call Li Zhenran.

Li Zhenruo ran wildly and found an empty corner to hide himself. After making sure that Li Zhentai hadn’t found him, he came out again quietly.

He didn’t run out on impulse. In addition to hiding from Li Zhenran for two days, he also planned to go to a place, which was the appraisal office where he and Li Jianglin’s paternity were tested. But he didn’t know, could a cat go in and find some evidence smoothly?

Maybe it’ll be a bit difficult, but won’t there always be no hope if you don’t try?

Li Zhenruo jumped to the fountain pond on the side of the road, took a sip of water, and then jumped down and walked towards the bus stop.

It’s impossible to ride a taxi, but it might be possible to ride a bus.

He stood at the bus stop and looked for the bus route he wanted to take.

Two elementary school students were standing on the side of the road with their school bags on their backs, pointing at him, “Look at that cat looking at the stop sign!”

“Idiot! How can a cat understand the stop sign?”

Li Zhenruo thought: Idiot! Who told you that cats can’t read stop signs?

He found the bus he wanted to take and hid behind the crowd. After a while, the bus stopped at the bus stop. Li Zhenruo didn’t go to the front door but took advantage of the opened back door. When passengers got off the bus, Li Zhenruo rushed up.

The passenger who had sharp eyes screamed, and everyone around was asking what’s wrong.

The man came back to his senses and saw a cat looking at him pitifully with round eyes, patted his chest and said, “I thought it was a big mouse, but it turned out to be a cat.”

At this time, it was the morning rush hour. The driver heard the commotion but couldn’t squeeze behind to see. When the passengers were all inside, he closed the car door and set off.

Li Zhenruo took a shower last night, and he just got out of Li Zhentai’s car today. Right now his whole cat body was still clean, coupled with his honest and cute appearance, some children wanted to reach out and touch him.

He refused to be touched, jumped from under the feet of the crowd to under the rear seats, and lay down quietly.

After five stops, Li Zhenruo arrived at his destination. He got off behind the crowd, got out of the car, and ran to the street.

This was the downtown area. Morning time was the time when the stream of people gathered, and people coming and going around were walking forward with busy steps. Li Zhenruo must carefully hide aside because everyone was a huge monster to him.

His fur was fluffy and clean. Coupled with his special appearance, he didn’t look like a stray cat, and looked more like some pet cat has been lost.

And luckily no one came to catch him along the way.

Li Zhenruo found the door of the appraisal office. He stood on the side of the road and watched for a while, planning to go in first to see what was going on inside.

In the end, he was blocked by the security guard at the door just as soon as he took a step to get in.

He tried to go around the guard’s foot, but he didn’t expect that the security guard would step on his tail. He screamed in pain and raised his head to see that the security guard had taken a big broom to drive him away.

There was no choice but to retreat.

Li Zhenruo found a corner and licked his tail. His heart is itching with hatred, thinking about the guard that blocked his way. After all, this was the guard’s job, but to step on his tail with his feet! He was loved by everyone, and it was rare to meet such an unloving person!

He stayed by the side for a while, but Li Zhenruo has not been able to find the opportunity to slip in, and he felt hungry at this time.

Thinking that it was time for lunch when he was usually at home, he turned around and left with the intention of coming back later.

Although he was a cat, he was also a cat with principles. Of course, he wouldn’t do things like flipping through the trash can. There was a university nearby. He planned to squat by the canteen door for a while and find some kind-hearted, gentle and lovely female college students to take the initiative to feed him something.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the time of the cat’s rut and sterilization, as well as Garfield’s other habits, I have looked some on the Internet. Anyway, there are various opinions about it. If there is a bug, please treat it as the plot needs it.

Notes:
The bug that the author mean is the misinformation.

Chapter 17

January 27, 2022 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

　　 “Dumpling,” Li Zhenran suddenly called his name. His tone was a bit stiff and cold.

　　 Li Zhenruo came back to his senses and knew that Li Zhenran was about to be angry, and he should not shrink down at this time, so he reluctantly walked towards Li Zhenran, but was unwilling to let Li Zhenran hold him. He jumped straight off the conference table and followed Li Zhenran’s leg.

　　 Li Zhenran ignored him and walked out directly.

　　 Li Zhenruo quickly followed. When he left, he looked back at Li Zhenzi and saw that he was still sitting in his place, and smoked silently.

　　 As he went back to Li Zhenran’s office, Li Zhenruo hid under his large desk, because from this angle, Li Zhenran could not see him at all.

　　 Even so, Li Zhenruo still felt terrified.

　　 He was wondering if he had gotten too close to Li Zhenran. At that moment just now, when he began to suspect Li Zhenran, his heart instantly felt like it had plunged into a bottomless abyss.

　　 In fact, he has to admit that his suspicion of Li Zhenran was already not too strong after just one month of getting along. How could a person who was full of love for small animals so cruelly kill his brother who grew up together?

　　 So what did Li Zhenran say to Li Zhenzi just now?

　　 Li Zhenran probably said, “Look, I killed the Fourth child. If you don’t listen to me, do you want to follow in the footsteps of the Fourth child?”

　　… Li Zhenran was probably crazy.

　　 Or, “Did you kill the fourth child? I have something against you in my hand, and you have to do things for me.”

　　 It still sounds like Li Zhenran was crazy.

Or, “Look, the Fourth child is not from the Li family anymore, and some people hunted him down and killed him. Do you think you can really stay out of the matter if you don’t care? Your right to hold the power is the most important thing. You should understand this truth, Yunlin has always been the foundation of the Li family.”

　　 Hmm… This makes more sense.

　　 So here came the question again, who killed Li’s fourth child in the end?

　　 Li Zhenruo painfully covered his head with his paws, So annoyed, so annoyed!

　　 He struggled for a long time and suddenly raised his head to see Li Zhenran standing in front of him looking at him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. He completely didn’t notice when Li Zhenran came around the desk.

　　 Li Zhenran stretched out his hand to him, “Come here.”

　　 Li Zhenruo looked at his white and slender fingers. He slowly stood up and walked towards him, and then was picked up by Li Zhenran.

　　 Li Zhenran picked him up and did nothing. He just returned to his office chair and sat down, scratching Li Zhenruo’s big face with his fingers casually.

　　 Li Zhenruo felt very comfortable and scared witless at the same time. He couldn’t help but raise his head to look at Li Zhenran. From this angle, Li Zhenran’s jawline looked a bit sharp. Li Zhenruo always felt that his character was cold, and now he just feels uncertain about him.

　　 He was obviously being touched gently, but Li Zhenruo always had doubts that Li Zhenran would suddenly go crazy in the next second, biting his veins open with one bite, causing his blood to surge everywhere, and then let out a crazy laugh.

　　 What a way to go crazy!

　　 At noon, Li Zhenran had Hua Yibang call to book him a dinner appointment for the evening.

　　 Li Zhenruo has been extremely well-behaved since then, so well-behaved to the point of lying motionless on the sofa until the afternoon. When Li Zhenran came over and grabbed him by one foot and lifted him upside down, he didn’t react at all.

　　 The place where they have dinner in the evening was where Li Zhenran often goes.

　　 Li Zhenzi and Li Zhenruo didn’t like this place, Li Zhenzi felt the place is lifeless, and Li Zhenruo feels that this place is too pretentious.

　　 Li Zhenran carried the cat in and no one stopped him. The beautiful waiter in cheongsam in front of him led him to a small secluded private room.

　　 An antique Chinese decoration filled the room, the dining table and dining chairs were in mahogany. Outside the carved windows, there are rockeries, ponds, small bridges and flowing water.

　　 Li Zhenran took off his coat and asked the waiter to help him hang it up, and sat on the mahogany armchair. He lifted his long leg up to the other leg, reached out and picked up a teacup gently and elegantly sip a mouthful of tea.

　　 The handsome features are perfectly reflected in the elegant scenery outside the window, just like a young master of an old society.

　　 Having said so much, Li Zhenruo thought it could still be described in two words: pretentious prick.

　　 He was placed on the next chair by Li Zhenran.

　　 This was a small private room with a square table by the window and only four seats.

　　 Now that Li Zhenruo occupied a position alone, he couldn’t help but lift his upper body and lay his front paws on the table to reach for the melon seed dish above.

　　 It was just a little distance away, but Li Zhenran didn’t place it in front of him, and just grabbed a melon seed and brought it to his mouth.

　　 He opened his mouth to hold the melon seeds, followed the panda’s way of extending their paws to fix the melon seeds, and simply peeled off the shell.

　　 Li Zhenzi went to pick up Yu Bingwei, so he arrived more than ten minutes later than Li Zhenran.

　　 When they came in, Li Zhenran put down his long legs, stood up and shook hands with Yu Bingwei, with a very polite manner, “Hello, Miss Yu.”

　　 And when Li Zhenruo saw Yu Bingwei, she knew that she was very dressed up.

　　 He has always liked Yu Bingwei. This girl was beautiful and gentle, but the pivotal point was her attractive figure. Today she was wearing a dress. The colours and styles look simple, but the design was excellent. One look and you would know that it was not an ordinary brand. The makeup on her face was also very delicate, and her hair was carefully taken care of. She should have made a special trip to do her hair.

　　 Although Li Zhenran was not interested in the entertainment industry and has never made an investment, no one has never heard of the name of the Li family. Moreover, the second son of the Li family was half of the topic people talk about when they talk about the Li family nowadays.

　　 Compared to Li Zhenzi, it was obviously much harder to see Li Zhenran, let alone to have such a private meal.

　　 When she received the phone invitation from Li Zhenzhi, Yu Bingwei instantly felt a little flattered.

　　 “Dumpling!” After being separated for more than a month, Yu Bingwei was a little excited to see Li Zhenruo again. But with Li Zhenran present, she acted with restraint and just reached out to touch Li Zhenruo’s head.

　　 Li Zhenruo wanted to be picked up by her and be rubbed on her soft chest in her arms. Li Zhenran’s chest was hard, and it was not comfortable to lie down.

　　 Li Zhenran said, “Miss Yu, please sit down.”

　　 Yu Bingwei and Li Zhenzi sat down opposite them.

　　 Li Zhenran called the waiter to serve the dishes.

　　 Actually, Yu Bingwei already knew the purpose of Li Zhenran’s inviting her to eat this meal. When she first received a call from Li Zhenzi, she felt a little angry and said without thinking, “Why?”

　　 Of course, her anger was directed at Li Zhenzi. She was the one who left the cat to him for a period of time, but she didn’t expect that the other party would refuse to give it back.

　　 Li Zhenzi coaxed her and said, “It’s not me, it’s my second brother who likes your cat. What can I do?”

　　 When Yu Bingwei heard that it was Li Zhenran who wanted it, she was not so angry anymore. After all, for someone like Li Zhenran, even if you just wanted to give him a gift to build a relationship, he may not be willing to accept it.

　　 But still some reluctance, she said, “Do you Li family like to bully others?”

　　 Li Zhenzi promptly tried to show his innocence, “Where did I take advantage of you? You go talk to my second brother, and if you are dissatisfied, splash a cup of tea on his face, and tell him not to bully others. Wouldn’t that be good?”

　　 Yu Bingwei couldn’t help feeling it was somewhat a little funny when she heard this and finally sighed.

　　 Li Zhenzi said, “Don’t be angry, it’s just a cat. You haven’t raised it for a few days. I’ll buy a new one.”

　　 Yu Bingwei knew that she probably couldn’t refuse the other party’s request. In the end, she could only say, “Okay, let me go and see Dumpling.”

　　 As she sat here now, Yu Bingwei didn’t hear Li Zhenran didn’t mention the matter, and so she didn’t take the initiative to ask.

　　 Li Zhenran asked Yu Bingwei something about her recent filming.

　　 Yu Bingwei answered with a smile.

　　 While talking, Li Zhenran peeled a melon seed with his hand, and said to Li Zhenruo beside him, “Open your mouth.”

　　 Li Zhenruo cursed in his heart, Damn it, this great me is a cat and not a dog! But his mouth opened very honestly.

　　 Li Zhenran fed him the melon seeds.

　　 Yu Bingwei was a little startled for a while, and then came back to her senses after a while and said, “I didn’t expect Mr. Li to raise Dumpling so well.”

　　 Li Zhenruo chewed melon seeds blankly.

　　 Li Zhenran reached out and touched his head without saying anything.

　　 Yu Bingwei looked a little melancholy, “It didn’t behave this good when it was at my house. It slipped out once and scared my mother.”

　　 Li Zhenruo’s heart said, I also quite like you, come over and let me be buried on your chest.

　　 Li Zhenran said, “You must already know the purpose of my invitation to Miss Yu. I hope Miss Yu can sell this cat to me.”

　　 Yu Bingwei did not immediately agree, she looked a little bit distressed, and stretched out her hand to Li Zhenruo, “Dumpling, do you still recognize me?”

　　 Li Zhenruo wanted to go there. As soon as he moved his legs, he felt that Li Zhenran’s hands touching his head became heavier. He was pressed so hard he couldn’t lift his head up.

　　 After Li Zhenran lifted his hand, Li Zhenruo decided not to go over to Yu Bingwei. Instead, he climbed onto Li Zhenran’s lap and sat, rubbing his face against his chest, and making a cute cry of “meow”.

　　 Yu Bingwei showed some disappointment.

　　 At this time, Li Zhenzi said next to him, “Now he only listens to my second brother. Who asked you to keep it for only a month and throw it to me? It’s better not to keep pets if you don’t have time.”

　　 Yu Bingwei sighed and said, “Yes, I shouldn’t have brought Dumpling back in the first place. I don’t have time to take care of it.”

　　 Li Zhenran’s palm was placed on Li Zhenruo’s neck. Li Zhenruo felt a little uncomfortable being held tightly by him. He wanted to move but the grip felt tighter, so he could only stay still.

　　 Li Zhenran said, “Miss Yu, make an offer. I’m willing to pay double or give you a better kitten.”

　　 Li Zhenruo looked up at Li Zhenran and wanted to roll his eyes

　　 Yu Bingwei said sensibly, “No need. Since Mr. Li likes it so much, I will give it to you. Just like Daniel said, I don’t have time to keep pets. I also wronged them when I bought them. It’s better to give Dumpling to those who like it better to take care of it.”

　　 Li Zhenran said, “How can I receive such kindness?”

　　 Li Zhenruo was so embarrassed to hear him.

　　Yu Bingwei smiled and said, “Just take it as Mr. Li takes care of Dumpling for me, and I will often visit it if I have the opportunity in the future. As long as it can grow healthily, it is better than anything else.”

　　 Li Zhenran looked down at Li Zhenruo and said, “That’s good, thank you Miss Yu.”

Notes:
I couldn’t find that Chinese restaurant layout, but I once went a Chinese restaurant like that and indeed it felt so stiff there XD
Li Zhenruo is a healthy man, huh. Still liking Weiwei’s chest

Chapter 16

January 25, 2022 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

On the way to Yunlin, Li Zhenran kept leaning back and closed his eyes to doze off. Only until the driver stopped the car and called him, he slowly opened his eyes.

　　 Li Zhenran stretched out a hand to Li Zhenruo.

　　 Li Zhenruo was very good at reading people. He knew that Li Zhenran was rushing to work and had no time to delay with him, so he obediently walked over and let him carry him.

　　 Li Zhenran carried Li Zhenruo directly through the gate of Yunlin.

　　 He was not as approachable as Li Zhenzi. When Yunlin’s employees saw the second son of the Li family carrying a cat to work, they froze on both sides, but no one dared to ask him.

　　 It wasn’t until Li Zhenran walked and entered the elevator that the employees started talking.

　　 “Why did the Second Young Master carry a cat to work today?”

　　 “That cat looks a lot like his brother’s last time.”

　　 “It seems to be just one.”

　　 “Why take a cat to work? No one at home to take care of it?”

　　 “That cat looks so stupid, hahahaha.”

　　 Until the elevator door closed, Li Zhenruo still felt a lot of pressure and buried his head in Li Zhenran’s arms. Even if the Fourth Young Master Li appeared in Yunlin himself, he had never tried to capture the eyes of so many people.

　　 Li Zhenran didn’t know why Li Zhenruo buried his head, and just scratched his ear with his finger.

　　 Li Zhenruo’s ears wiggled, and he felt very comfortable.

　　 When Li Zhenran arrived at the office, Hua Yibang had already arrived. He was surprised that Li Zhenran brought the cat to work, but he didn’t ask anything.

　　As he was just helping Li Zhenran bring coffee into the office, Hua Yibang asked, “Will it peed and poop anywhere?”

　　 Li Zhenruo gave him an angry look: You are the one who will pee and poo anywhere!

　　 Li Zhenran said, “No, the driver will bring his toilet and rice bowl up later.”

　　 “Oh,” Hua Yibang replied and said to Li Zhenran, “I have asked someone to prepare a small meeting room for the morning meeting.”

　　 Li Zhenran heard the words and glanced at the time.

　　 Hua Yibang said, “There is still half an hour.”

　　 Li Zhenran nodded, “Call me later.”

　　 Hua Yibang responded “Okay” and walked out. However, less than two minutes after going out, he knocked on the door again and brought in Li Zhenruo’s toilet and lunch, which had been brought up by the driver.

　　 Li Zhenruo really didn’t want to equate these two different things.

　　 There was a short break before the meeting. Li Zhenran was drinking coffee while flipping through the documents on the desk.

　　 Li Zhenruo walked to the window and looked outside. For a while, a multitude of feelings surged up. He wondered what would he do if one day he found the murderer and a way to avenge him? Be a cat quietly until the end of life more than ten years later?

　　 Ugh? It was always unpleasant to think of this.

　　 After half an hour, Hua Yibang knocked on the door and asked Li Zhenran to have a meeting.

　　 Li Zhenran closed the document, picked it up, and walked out.

　　 Li Zhenruo immediately followed after seeing this.

　　 Until he followed out of the office, Hua Yibang stood beside Li Zhenran, hesitated for a moment and asked, “You are not locking up the cat?”

　　 Li Zhenran looked down at Li Zhenruo and said, “Don’t worry about it.”

　　 Li Zhenruo followed Li Zhenran at his feet and waited for the elevator.

　　 Hua Yibang couldn’t help asking again, “Won’t it run away?”

　　 Li Zhenran replied blankly, “If it ran away, I don’t need it.”

　　 Li Zhenruo’s fur stood on end in an instant. He always felt that Li Zhenran was saying this to him. How could he dare to run? Besides, where could he run to?

　　 They walked into the elevator, and when the elevator door was about to close, Li Zhenzi who had come out of the office shouted, “Second brother, wait for me.”

　　 Hua Yibang quickly pressed the elevator.

　　 Li Zhenzi hurriedly walked into the elevator with Su Yao. He was holding a stack of documents under his arm, and it seemed that he was also going to a meeting.

　　 Just now he heard Hua Yibang say that a small meeting room was used, and Li Zhenruo thought that they were probably the relevant people of the project of the western part team meeting.

　　 “Dumpling?” Su Yao yelled in surprise when she saw Li Zhenruo.

　　 Li Zhenzi looked down at Li Zhenruo and asked Li Zhenran weirdly, “Second brother, do you also take the cat to the meeting?”

　　 Li Zhenran responded, “It followed me on its own.”

　　 Su Yao couldn’t help but said, “Second Young Master, you are too awesome.”

　　 Li Zhenran turned his head to look at her, “What’s too awesome?”

　　 Su Yao smiled and said, “I have never seen a cat so well-behaved. I am afraid that Dumpling has forgotten who its owner really is.”

　　 As he heard Su Yao mention this, Li Zhenzi remembered it, and said to Li Zhenran, “I called Weiwei and she said that she has time tonight. Let’s have a meal together. Where do you want to go? I’ll book it.”

　　 Li Zhenran said, “I’m the one who invited Miss Yu, it’s better if I made the reservation to appear sincere.”

　　 While they were talking, Li Zhenruo kept looking up at them.

　　 Li Zhenzi suddenly looked down at Li Zhenruo, and said with a smile, “I don’t think the cat wants to go back anymore even if it sees Weiwei.”

　　 In Li Zhenzi’s opinion, Li Zhenruo has become a dog under Li Zhenran. So why did Yu Bingwei want to come? He would also persuade Yu Bingwei not to ask for it, and it was better to buy another one again.

　　 When the two brothers arrived at the conference room, the other people in the meeting had already arrived.

　　 Li Zhenran rarely made small talk, and as soon as he sat down, he said, “Let’s have a meeting, and spare me the useless talk.”

　　 As soon as he sat down, Li Zhenruo jumped onto his lap and sat, causing the mid-level officers of the company attending the small conference room to look at each other.

　　 But Li Zhenran himself didn’t feel there was something wrong. He reached out and put his hand on Li Zhenruo’s back, and also scratched his chin.

　　 Li Zhenruo instantly had the illusion that he was acting in a Hong Kong film in the 1990s. The mafia godfather sat in front of his brothers with a serious look and was playing with a Persian cat in his hand. It’s a pity that Li Zhenran lacked a trench coat and sunglasses and he was also a fat-faced Garfield instead of a beautiful Persian cat.

　　 Today, it was a remote video conference. The project manager who was now in the west reports the recent work through synchronized video.

　　 The work report process should have been boring, but after all, it was a project he had been responsible for, and Li Zhenruo listened with great interest.

　　 Later, the project manager said that there was a problem with the demolition and was coordinating with the local government, but there was some resistance.

　　 Li Zhenran lowered his head, his right thumb and index finger bent against his chin, and he frowned slightly.

　　 Li Zhenruo raised his head to look at Li Zhenran’s expression, and he felt he was a bit sexy. His cat’s eyes were really blind.

　　 After the video report was over, the participants on this side of the meeting again reported the progress of their work.

　　 At the end, Li Zhenran suddenly said to Li Zhenzi, “Daniel.”

　　 Li Zhenzi has been a little inattentive throughout the meeting. He looked up at Li Zhenran in a daze when he heard that he was named, “Hmm?”

　　 Li Zhenran said, “You take a trip to Qijiang.”

　　 Li Zhenzi pouted, and Li Zhenruo knew that he wanted to refuse by looking at his expression, and was now trying to find excuses.

　　 Sure enough, Li Zhenzi said quickly, “I’d like to go, but there’s a big investment movie to be made on Yunyi side, and my schedule is pretty full these days.”

　　 Yunyi was a film and television culture company under Yunlin. Li Zhenzi’s main focus was still on that side. As for Yunlin’s side, if it was not related to the project on the western part, he didn’t care much.

　　 Li Zhenruo was in charge of the project on the western part at the beginning. Because it was handed over to Li Zhenran at the last moment, Li Jianglin was afraid that Li Zhenran would not be able to handle it, so he appointed Li Zhenzi to help him.

　　 According to Li Jianglin, the project on the western part was Yunlin’s major project for the next few years. If completed, it would be a new type of cultural tourism model that would be developed in various parts of the country. That was the business opportunity Li Jianglin had already seen so far.

　　 In terms of film and television art, although the development under Li Zhenzi was also very good, Li Jianglin was getting older after all, and what he valued more was the old business of the Li family.

　　 Li Zhenran heard the words and said calmly, “I’ll provide you the airfare, come back anytime you have something on your side.”

　　 That one sentence blocked all Li Zhenzi’s excuses. Of course he could say that he was too busy and tired, but it didn’t sound like a decent excuse.

　　 Li Zhenzi was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly.

　　 At the end of the meeting, Li Zhenran said to Li Zhenzi, “Third child, stay and give me two minutes of your time.”

　　 Li Zhenzi spread his hands and nodded.

　　 Hua Yibang and Su Yao both consciously got up and went out of the conference room and helped them close the door.

　　 At this moment, Li Zhenruo felt that he was lucky to be a cat so he didn’t have to exit the room because he was likely to hear Li Zhenran talk to Li Zhenzi sincerely. How rare were Li Zhenran’s sincere words? He thought he would never hear it in his life.

　　 Li Zhenran reached out and put Li Zhenruo on the conference table, got up and walked to Li Zhenzi himself, patted his shoulder, “I know what you’re up to.”

　　 Li Zhenzi shook a cigarette out of the cigarette case, and just held it to his mouth. Li Zhenran personally picked up the lighter and helped him light the fire.

　　 Li Zhenzi looked up at him, smiled and said, “Second brother, you are too modest.”

　　 Li Zhenran put aside the lighter on the table, “Third child, you should think about it. Could the development of Yunyi be so smooth without Yunlin?”

　　 This was a very simple truth.

　　 It was true that Yunyi developed very quickly and smoothly, but if it weren’t for Yunlin, there would be no such good development. The two complemented each other and prospered together.

　　 Li Zhenzi sucked in a mouthful of smoke and said to Li Zhenran, “Second brother, I understand. But you know me, I’m just lazy, I really don’t want to care about Yunlin’s affairs.”

　　 The hand that Li Zhenran put on Li Zhen’s shoulder suddenly exerted some strength, “But you have to understand that some things are not something you can afford to not want to take care of. Your surname is Li, and you are Li Jianglin’s son.”

　　 Li Zhenzi’s face changed slightly

　　 Li Zhenran said softly, “How do you think the fourth child died?”

　　 Li Zhenruo had been lying on the table listening to their conversation, but at this moment he couldn’t help standing up too. He felt a bit alarmed.

　　 Li Zhenzi’s face became even more unsightly as he asked rhetorically, “What do you think, Second brother?”

　　 Li Zhenran leaned to Li Zhenzi’s ear and said something in a low voice, which seemed to be a very long sentence.

　　 His voice was so low that Li Zhenruo didn’t even hear clearly, and couldn’t help but walk two steps in their direction.

　　 But at this time Li Zhenran had stood up straight, patted Li Zhenzi on the shoulder, and said, “You went there last time, didn’t you have a good time with the mayor’s son?”

　　 Li Zhenzhi responded, “Not bad.”

　　 Li Zhenran said, “Bring two actresses over, and then have fun with him, and settle the demolition matter as soon as possible.”

　　 Li Zhenzhi took a puff of smoke, then heavily nodded his head and said, “Okay.”

　　 Li Zhenran pressed his shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and stretched out his hand to Li Zhenruo, “Come here, we’re going back.”

　　 Li Zhenruo looked at Li Zhenran hesitantly and did not move.

　　 He felt very complicated. He repeatedly looked at the frowning Li Zhenzi and Li Zhenran usual expressions, but he couldn’t tell what they were thinking.

　　 Li Zhenruo was a little scared.

The author has something to say:

How can it took forty chapters for him to become a person? Doesn’t that mean second brother have to hold back very hard… But it’s true that I can’t stop writing about lovely animals

Do you know why I have so many drafts? Because I don’t want to be affected by comments and follow my own pace, otherwise I will definitely think: Oh oh, hurry up and change him to a person, hurry up and change him to a person!

Chapter 15

January 23, 2022 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

The Li Zhenruo who chased her out couldn’t do anything much.

Auntie Wu tidied up everything last night. She told Wang Ma she quit her job early this morning, and she was now sitting and talking with another aunt who has worked in Li’s house for a long time.

Li Zhenruo went over to eavesdrop and found that Auntie Wu hadn’t mentioned yesterday’s affairs, so no one knew why she quit the job except Wang Ma and Li family brothers.

Wang Ma settled her salary for this month.

Auntie Wu dragged her luggage away, even Li Zhentai said he would arrange for the driver to take her to the station, but she refused.

Li Zhenruo looked at the back of Auntie Wu leaving and felt that he had been busy for nothing. He thought in his heart that if he was a human, everything would be easy. He could chase after her, grabbed Aunt Wu, shook her shoulder, and asked her what she had done and what she knew.

In the next few days, Li Zhenruo was a little listless.

Only when Li Zhenran came back to tease him, he reluctantly cooperate, but he couldn’t be bothered with others.

However, one night, when Li Zhenzhi mentioned to Li Zhenran to send him back to Yu Bingwei, Li Zhenruo suddenly realized that it had been a month since he arrived at the Li family.

Li Zhenruo was shocked.

Li Zhenran, who heard Li Zhenzi mentioning this matter, had no expression on his face, and answered one word: “Okay.”

This made Li Zhenruo even more shocked. He has been working hard to please him with his cuteness so that after Yu Bingwei came back, Li Zhenran would be reluctant to let him go. But he never thought that Li Zhenran would be so crisp and clear, and agreed to Li Zhenzi without hesitation.

Li Zhenruo didn’t get back to his senses for the whole night.

In addition to being nervous about being sent away, he also had a new understanding of Li Zhenran’s coldness and ruthlessness as a person.

Standing under his cat climbing frame, Li Zhenruo could only feel all the mixed feelings, and he suddenly remembered the conversation between Princess Iron Fan and Zhi Zun Bao in Stephen Chow’s “A Chinese Odyssey”¹: When you watched the moon with me in the past, you called me little sweetie. Now that you meet your new lover, I am now Mrs. Niu²?!

Li Zhenruo sighed for a long time, thinking that he is as helpless as Mrs. Niu. Li Zhenran was his life-saving straw, and he couldn’t let him go no matter what, even if his self-esteem suffered a big blow?

He slowly walked towards Li Zhenran’s room.

Li Zhenran didn’t know what Li Zhenruo was doing today, so he locked the door early.

Li Zhenruo didn’t give up, scratched the door with his paw and hit the door with his head.

Finally, the door of Li Zhenran was knocked open.

Li Zhenran looked at him with no expression.

Li Zhenruo decided to ignore his gaze and got inside from his leg.

Li Zhenran stood by the door for a while, closed the door and returned to the room. He sat in front of the desk using the computer.

Li Zhenruo followed and rubbed his head against Li Zhenran’s leg.

Li Zhenran didn’t seem to want to pay attention to him, so the left leg that was originally on the right leg was put down and moved to the side.

Li Zhenruo glanced at him bitterly, then moved to continue rubbing, and he rubbed all the hair on his head and back into a mess.

He didn’t know if Li Zhenran was annoyed by him, but Li Zhenran turned off the computer and lay down on the bed, opened a book and read it under the desk lamp.

Li Zhenruo obviously felt that he was disliked, but he didn’t know what he did to make Li Zhenran dislike him. Thinking that he might have to be sent away tomorrow, but Li Zhenran was still so indifferent to him, made him sad for no reason.

Li Zhenruo finally followed on the bed, climbed up and stepped on Li Zhenran’s leg.

Li Zhenran turned his head to look at him, and he seemed to be somewhat feeling comfortable.

Li Zhenruo saw that Li Zhenran liked it, so he strenuously stepped on Li Zhenran’s lap, buttocks, and on the back with his short legs. Later, because he was feeling tired, he fell asleep on Li Zhenran’s back.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Zhenruo had already found himself lying on the side of Li Zhenran’s pillow.

He got off the bed and heard the sound of people walking outside. He wanted to go out, but the door was locked by Li Zhenran. Li Zhenruo had no choice but to keep meowing in Li Zhenran’s ear until he woke up.

Li Zhenran got up sleepily and went to open the door for him.

Li Zhenruo went out and saw Wang Ma was instructing people to clean up his cat litter and cat climbing frame. He also heard Wang Ma say, “Clean up carefully, and put it in Zhenzi’s car later. He will send the cat away in the afternoon.”

Upon hearing the news, Li Zhenruo’s whole fur stood up.

He suddenly turned around and rushed back to Li Zhenran’s room. At that time, Li Zhenran had just lay in bed and was going to sleep for a while, and Li Zhenruo hurriedly got into Li Zhenran’s bed.

Li Zhenran was dazed by a furry thing drilled in, and he was still taken aback, but he stretched out his hand to hold and pressed Li Zhenruo’s tail.

Li Zhenruo turned around and hugged Li Zhenran’s arm, thinking that if he didn’t let go all day today, no one would want to take him away.

Later, after Li Zhenran got up, Li Zhenruo kept holding his calf.

Li Zhenran went to wash his face and brushed his teeth, he followed. Li Zhenran went to the toilet, he also followed, but he turned his face away and did not look.

As Li Zhenran finished packing up and going down the stairs, Li Zhenruo stumbled along the way, but his two front paws kept holding Li Zhenran’s legs tightly. The hind legs knocked on the edge of the stairs several times, causing his face to wrinkle in pain.

When they reached the second floor, they ran into Li Zhenran coming out of his room, standing at the entrance of the stairs looking at them, “Aiyo” he said. “Second brother, you look like you’re wearing snow boots, what’s going on early in the morning?”

Li Zhenran looked down at Li Zhenruo and said, “I don’t know.”

Li Zhenzi looked closer, “Could it be in heat?”

Li Zhenruo cursed in his heart: “Yuck!”

When they had breakfast, all of Li Zhenruo’s household utensils were packed and put into Li Zhenzi’s car.

Li Zhenruo’s heart sank deeper and deeper. Seeing that Li Zhenran hasn’t reacted at all until now, he always feels that he couldn’t escape today. If he was really sent back to Yu Bingwei, he was afraid he would have to find a way to get out.

After breakfast, Li Zhenzi called to him, “Dumpling, we are leaving.”

Li Zhenruo simply closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, clinging to Li Zhenran’s leg and not letting go.

At this point, Li Zhenran finally bent down and reached out to pick him up.

Li Zhenruo felt nervous for a while, fearing that Li Zhenran would pick him up to return him to Li Zhenzi, so he still refused to let go of his front paws.

Li Zhenran seemed a little helpless, and said to Li Zhenzi, “Is the owner of Dumpling, Miss Yu?”

Yu Bingwei is famous, the Li family has heard about her name. Yu Bingwei and Li Zhenzi have their own affairs, and Li Zhenran might know it to some extent.

After hearing the words, Li Zhenzi replied, “Yes, Bingwei bought it not long ago.”

Li Zhenran said, “Are you free today? Could I invite Miss Yu to come out for a meal tonight?”

“Huh?” Li Zhenzi was a little surprised.

Li Zhentai was all packed up and ready to go out, but then stopped and looked at Li Zhenran.

Li Zhenran said, “Maybe I can talk to Miss Yu and resell this cat to me.”

When Li Zhentai heard him, he seemed to find it a bit funny and shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the outside.

But Li Zhenzi was stunned for a second, and then smiled, “Second brother, why didn’t you say it earlier? Look, I’ve packed everything.”

Li Zhenran took a step forward to show his leg to Li Zhenzi, “To be honest, now when I look at it this way, it seemed to be really a bit reluctant to give up.”

At this point, Li Zhenzi also saw that the cat hugged Li Zhenran’s leg, and made it clear that it knew it would be sent away today, and it did not want to leave.

He sighed with some sorrow, “How can this cat be raised like a dog?”

But Li Zhenruo is ecstatic now. He raised his head and stared at Li Zhenran in a daze, only to feel that the other party was waving a pair of holy wings behind, like an angel.

Li Zhenzi thought for a while and seemed a little troubled. He finally said, “I’ll call Bingwei later, or you can talk to her at night. I can’t say anything or she’s going to think I was greedy for her cat.”

Li Zhenran nodded, “Okay.”

“Hey,” Li Zhenzi walked outside and asked the driver to put down all the pet cat supplies in the car.

Li Zhenran was about to go out too and stepped out only to find that Li Zhenruo was still holding his legs. He lowered his head and said to him, “Let me go, I won’t send you away.”

Li Zhenruo glanced at Li Zhenzi, and he was always a little worried. He was afraid that he would be sold by Li Zhenran as soon as he let go.

Li Zhenran looked at the time, and simply dragged his foot with him out.

Seeing that Li Zhenran was about to get in the car, Li Zhenruo thought he might as well get into the company with Li Zhenran. Anyway, he could only feel safe by staying next to Li Zhenran.

Li Zhenran didn’t get rid of Li Zhenruo until he got into the car.

The driver asked him, “Second Young Master, what to do?”

Li Zhenran sighed helplessly, and said, “Let the third child bring his toilet and rice bowl over, and take it to the company today first. Later, bring it along to see Miss Yu in the evening, so that Miss Yu can rest assured that the cat is in my hands.”

“Oh,” the driver responded and got out of the car to get something.

Li Zhenruo reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard these words. He let go of the legs holding Li Zhenran and watched Li Zhenran reach out to grab him, then quickly retreated to the corner of the car and shrank under the front seat.

He was very contradictory. He relied on Li Zhenran even though he distrusted him. He was still afraid of being grabbed by him and thrown out by hand.

It was better to keep a proper distance.

Fortunately, Li Zhenran didn’t insist on grabbing him. When the driver came back with his things, he asked the driver to drive.

Li Zhenruo stayed in the corner for a while and felt a little relieved. He then jumped to Li Zhenran’s lap and lay down.

This was the first time he has gone out since he arrived at Li’s house. He couldn’t help but become active, thinking about whether he could find a chance to slip away, and what he wanted to do. It is best to continue to check the clues that they found in the first place.

But he was worried that his slip would make Li Zhenran angry. If Li Zhenran didn’t want him, he would never go back to Li’s house.

His whole cat looked very serious and complicated along the way.

The author has something to say:

Although you are all asking me when he will change, I want to tell you that I have already written chapter 40, so it is useless for you guys to remind me when it is time for him to change!

Chapter 14

January 23, 2022 / hoenimochi / 0 Comments

Li Zhenruo followed behind the two people.

Auntie Wu pulled Wang Ma into Li Zhenruo’s room and went to the bathroom to show Wang Ma the bloody tissues in the trash can.

Wang Ma frowned and said, “Who throws things into xiao Ruo’s room?”

Li Zhenruo thought silently, Wang Ma’s reaction was normal. If it were him, the first reaction would be wondering who was throwing things here as a prank.

Auntie Wu’s face really was not looking good. She said, “Wang Ma, do you think it’s Li Zhenruo… He…”

“What nonsense!” Wang Ma was a little upset.

Auntie Wu said, “This room is usually locked. I only opened the door for a while to clean. I didn’t even come here yesterday.”

Wang Ma heard the words and said, “You are not the only one who has the key!”

In fact, she forgot to close the door yesterday after cleaning. If she recalled it carefully, she wouldn’t be so alarmed. He didn’t know if it was because she was too nervous, but at this time, she couldn’t remember at all.

But when one thought about it. Usually in the morning when she cleaned, there would be no one else on this side of the main floor except Wang Ma, it really didn’t seem like someone was doing a prank.

Of course, no one would suspect a cat.

Li Zhenruo tried to stare at Auntie Wu’s face, and her voice trembled a little.

Wang Ma said again, “Anyway, it’s just a piece of toilet paper. Where’s the ghost in that?”

Auntie Wu didn’t know what she was thinking, and asked, “Then you tell me, who would do it?”

How could Wang Ma know who did it? She also felt that there was something strange about this matter. So she could only say to Auntie Wu, “Anyway, don’t yell and make a fuss anymore. I will talk to Zhentai and the others in the afternoon and check out who did the prank.”

Maybe because it was about Li Zhenruo who had passed away, Wang Ma was a little angry. She asked Aunt Wu to use a plastic sealed bag to pack the tissues, and said that she must find the prankster.

Auntie Wu did as she ordered, but her expression never recovered, and her whole self was a little absent-minded.

Li Zhenruo thought to himself, Auntie Wu might have received money from someone to do this kind of thing. She might not intend to cause harm, but she also knew the consequences her behaviour had brought afterwards. Of course, Li Zhenruo wouldn’t resent her, if it wasn’t this blood-stained tissue, it would be something else. If the other party found a woman to get his semen, he would feel even more disgusted if he learnt about it afterwards.

What he wanted to know most now was who Auntie Wu gave the things to?

Li Zhentai, Li Zhenzi or… Li Zhenran?

Auntie Wu went back to the small building on the right after cleaning. Li Zhenruo wanted to follow her, but was picked up by Wang Ma halfway through and was asked to stay here quietly.

Later, he sneaked out into the courtyard and saw Auntie Wu was washing clothes in the washing machine. Her face was pale, but she hadn’t contacted anyone, nor had she spoken to anyone.

It is impossible for Li Zhenruo to keep an eye on Auntie Wu all day. At this time, he hates his powerlessness as a cat. If he was a human, at least he could think of some way to monitor Auntie Wu’s phone call to see if she has tipped off anyone.

Unfortunately, these ideas just existed in his mind, and Li Zhenruo couldn’t do anything about it.

This afternoon, the three Li brothers were not out socializing but went home for dinner.

Li Zhenruo habitually climbed onto Li Zhenran’s lap. Just after the meal was served, Wang Ma told them about the blood-stained tissue that Auntie Wu found in Li Zhenruo’s room today.

A trace of bewilderment appeared on the faces of several people at the same time. This matter was really a little strange.

Li Zhenruo’s eyes didn’t blink as he tried to check their expressions.

Li Zhentai asked first, “What kind of tissue?”

Wang Ma took out the paper towels in the plastic bag and showed them.

Li Zhentai frowned.

Li Zhenzi raised his eyebrows and said, “Who would do such boring things?”

Li Zhenruo suddenly realized that he couldn’t see Li Zhenran’s expression. He jumped onto the dining table and walked towards the end of the rectangular dining table. From this angle, he could observe the expressions of three people at the same time.

Li Zhenran was the coldest one. He even took a slow sip of the soup and asked Wang Ma, “Was there anyone else there besides you and her?”

Wang Ma shook her head, “Just me and her.”

Li Zhentai’s brows are still frowning, “It wasn’t Auntie Wu pretending to be a ghost, right?”

Wang’s mother said, “It doesn’t look like it, her face was blue with fear.”

Li Zhenzi laughed when he heard that, “What is she afraid of? It’s not like the fourth child appeared.”

Wang Ma looked at him, and discouraged him, “Don’t say such things.”

Li Zhenzi shrugged and stopped talking.

Li Zhentai looked puzzled, “A piece of tissue? A bit of blood? What does it represent?”

Wang Ma didn’t understand either and just shook her head.

Li Zhenran wiped his mouth with a paper towel, moving gracefully, and suddenly said, “It’s not really a big deal, tell Auntie Wu not to be afraid. There are no ghosts in this world. In other words, even if the fourth child comes back, it means that for every grievance there was someone responsible¹, and he couldn’t find the reason to make her responsible. If someone pretended to be a ghost, I’m afraid it won’t be just this time, let’s see what this person is going to do next. There is no need to publicize this matter, tell Auntie Wu to keep her mouth shut and not to make the whole Li family tense.”

Wang Ma obviously agreed with Li Zhenran’s words. She said, “I told her to shut up and stop being so shocked.”

Li Zhentai also said, “That’s it.”

After he said that, Li Zhentai suddenly noticed the cat sitting on the dining table. He turned to Li Zhenzi and said, “Third child, look at your cat.”

The eyes of the three brothers suddenly turned to Li Zhenruo.

Li Zhenruo was still thinking that his three elder brothers were really thorough in handling things, and by now he couldn’t feel which one of them was more suspicious at all. In comparison, Auntie Wu was just making a huge fuss and couldn’t maintain her composure.

Li Zhenzi stared at Li Zhenruo and said, “Big brother, don’t you think it is more appropriate to call it the second brother’s cat now?”

Li Zhenran laughed when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to Li Zhenruo, and said, “Come here.”

His tone was very calm, but it was accompanied by a commanding attitude that does not allow resistance. The more he behaved like this, the more Li Zhenruo didn’t want to do what he wanted. But if he wanted to live well in Li’s family, he had no choice but to rely on Li Zhenran.

Although he was unwilling, Li Zhenruo walked towards Li Zhenran and got a small piece of boiled chicken in plain water.

At night, Li Zhenran was lying on the bed and talking on the phone.

Li Zhenruo wanted to listen to the content, but it’s mostly the other person who was talking and Li Zhenran just responded with a few flat “um”.

His forelimb injury was not completely healed, but today it was not as painful as yesterday.

Li Zhenruo sat on Li Zhenran’s tatami, raised his paw and licked the wound.

Suddenly, Li Zhenran squeezed his paw from the side and turned it over to look at his wound.

Li Zhenruo felt a little strange for a moment because Li Zhenran had already helped him with his wounds last night.

Li Zhenran looked at his injury for a while, and asked, “Did someone scratch you?”

At this time, if Li Zhenruo wasn’t a cat, he believed that he would have been covered in cold sweat. He had never thought that Li Zhenran would be so keen. In fact, in this house, no matter what he did secretly, he was the least suspicious one, because no one would suspect a cat.

But now, Li Zhenran associated the bloodstains on the tissues and the blood on his wounds, thinking that someone else did it, and it really made Li Zhenruo sweat.

Fortunately, Li Zhenruo doesn’t need to answer Li Zhenran’s question.

No matter what kind of doubt Li Zhenran faces, his answer was very simple. He just open his eyes wide and answered him, “Meow~”

Li Zhenran looked at him for a while, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, then let the matter go.

Li Zhenruo felt that his mouth was dry, so he didn’t dare to run immediately. He lay down beside Li Zhenran’s leg for a while before turning over and getting out of bed to drink water outside.

That night, Li Zhenruo didn’t go to Li Zhenran’s room to sleep. Of course, he was a little wary of Li Zhenran in his heart, and second, it was to facilitate him to sneak out at night.

After 11 o’clock, everyone went to sleep one after another, and Li Zhenran’s door was locked from the inside.

Li Zhenruo slipped outside from the window and went directly to the small building on the right.

Because most of the families’ nanny, chef, and the driver gardener get up early, the lights in the small building have almost gone out.

Li Zhenruo had seen it during the day and remembered that Auntie Wu’s room was on the far right side of the second floor. At this time, only her room was still showing faint light. So he climbed directly up the window and looked in from the window sill.

The window in Auntie Wu’s room was closed, and the curtains were closed, leaving only a gap.

The room is dimly lit, and Auntie Wu hadn’t slept. She sat on the bed and recited some words, because her voice was very low and fast, Li Zhenruo still couldn’t hear clearly what she recited even when he pressed his ear.

He stood by the window for more than ten minutes, but Auntie Wu sat on the bed and recited for more than ten minutes.

Finally, Li Zhenruo became impatient and wanted to scare her. He stretched out his paw and grabbed the window glass hard, making an ear-piercing noise.

Auntie Wu’s eyes widened suddenly, and she sat motionless on the edge of the bed.

Li Zhenruo turned around and jumped from the windowsill. He was shrinking in the corner and when he looked upward, he saw Auntie Wu open the window to look outside with a face overwhelmed with fear.

The next morning, Li Zhenruo went downstairs after washing his face with his paws.

Just as he reached the first floor, he heard Wang Ma said to Li Zhentai, “Auntie Wu said she’s quitting. She wanted to go back to her hometown.”

Li Zhenruo was dumbfounded all of a sudden. He wanted to scare Aunt Wu, but he didn’t expect she would be too scared and chase her away. As Auntie Wu left, the clue he obtained with great difficulty broke again.

Li Zhentai had no expression when he heard it, and said, “If she wants to leave, just let her be, and settle this month’s salary for her. Our Li family will not treat her badly.”

Upon hearing those words, Wang Ma said, “Oh, all right.”

Li Zhenruo froze and thought to himself whether he had the ability to keep Auntie Wu.

Suddenly, someone kicked him gently from behind. He turned his head and saw Li Zhenzi who had just come downstairs.

Li Zhen said to him, “A good dog doesn’t stand in the way.” After speaking, he smiled and changed his words, “A good cat doesn’t stand in the way.”

Li Zhenruo was not in the mood to respond to him and ran towards the outside of the gate.

Chapter 13

January 22, 2022 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

Li Zhenruo woke up next to Li Zhenran’s pillow in the morning.

He clearly remembered that he was still lying on Li Zhenran’s tatami when he fell asleep, but at this time he was so close to Li Zhenran that he could count Li Zhenran’s eyelashes one by one.

Li Zhenran’s eyelashes are really long and dense. He was sleeping on his back with his head tilted to the outside of the bed and his hair was in a mess. His arms stretched out from the quilt, and a section of his shoulders was exposed. You could clearly see the lines of his muscles, it looked sexy and alluring.

Li Zhenruo thought that if he were a woman, he would have fallen in love with Li Zhenran. That’s right… He seemed to have thought yesterday that if he was really a cat, he would definitely fall in love with Li Zhenran. It’s a pity that he was not a woman nor a cat, but a man who lived in a cat’s body, and was Li Zhenran’s former brother who was kicked out by the Li family.

When he tried to get up from next to Li Zhenran’s pillow, Li Zhenran was awakened.

But he was obviously not awake enough, so he reached out and grabbed Li Zhenruo, dragged him into his arms and hugged him to sleep.

Li Zhenruo was pulled into the bed and breathed in all Li Zhenran’s scent. He was nearly suffocated. After struggling for a while, he got out from under his arm.

Li Zhenran rolled over and rubbed his eyes.

Li Zhenruo rolled out of the bed and stood by the bed shaking his fur.

The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was that he recalled the gentle and pure perfume smell that he smelled on Li Zhenzi last night. It was really unforgivable for Li Zhenzi to seduce his sister-in-law, Li Zhenruo thought angrily.

However, no matter how angry he was, it was useless.

Now Li Zhentai is on a business trip. No matter what Li Zhenzi and Wen Chun were doing outside, he was afraid it would be difficult for others to discover. He may be the only one who found the traces—no, it was a cat who did it. But he was trapped in Li’s house and couldn’t go anywhere.

If the Li family has become a big cage for him, then this cat’s body is his little cage, and as long as he remains locked up here, he couldn’t go anywhere.

As he thought of this, Li Zhenruo felt a little depressed.

Li Zhenran was still lying in bed, and Li Zhenruo was too lazy to wait for him to get up to open the door, so he went straight out the window.

In the morning, only Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi had a meal together. It was rare for Li Zhenruo to not stick to Li Zhenran. He sneaked out after hearing Li Zhenzi’s driver outside prepared a car for him. He wanted to slip into Li Zhenzi’s car and followed when he went out.

Although he also knew that Li Zhenzi would not necessarily go to see Wen Chun, his curiosity was really overwhelming, and he couldn’t suppress it no matter what.

The driver opened the door of the back seat but didn’t notice Li Zhenruo jumping in. After going up, he tried to put himself under the front seat, hoping that he would not attract Li Zhenzi’s attention.

In the end, he overlooked one thing.

Before Li Zhenzi stepped into the car door, he noticed a fluffy tail dragging out from under the front seat. He sat up and said to the driver, “Wait a minute.” Then he reached out and grabbed Li Zhenruo by the tail, and pulled him out.

The moment Li Zhenruo felt his tail being grabbed, he thought, “Oh no! I forgot about the tail!”

As Li Zhenzi picked him out, he struggled desperately to escape from Li Zhenzi by himself.

Li Zhenzi put him on the seat and asked, “What are you doing?”

Li Zhenruo could not do anything, and could only pretend to be pitiful and look at Li Zhenzi.

Of course, Li Zhenzi wouldn’t really care much about a cat. He scared Li Zhenruo, and finally squeezed his tail and threw him out.

Li Zhenruo rolled on the ground and stood up, helplessly watching Li Zhenzi’s car drive away. He sighed heavily, and when he turned around, he saw Li Zhenran standing at the door of the room looking at him.

Not wanting to act too strange, Li Zhenruo calmly walked past Li Zhenran and went back to the house.

Time passed by with Li Zhenruo eating and sleeping every day. Before he knew it, it had been half a month since Li’s family big brother, Li Zhentai, who had gone on a business trip to the coast, had returned.

His feet had not fully recovered, but he didn’t have any serious walking problems, and he no longer continued to stay at home every day.

Li Zhentai should have gone to see Li Jianglin, but as for what Li Jianglin said to him, it was not clear.

But after Li Zhentai came back, Wen Chun came over.

Wen Chun had dinner at Li’s house that day. Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi brothers were also at home.

Li Zhentai suddenly mentioned to Wen Chun, “Dad asked when we plan to get married.”

Li Zhenruo sat on the chair next to Li Zhenran and noticed that both Li Zhenzi and Li Zhenran looked up at Wen Chun at the same time.

Wen Chun was quite calm. She put down her chopsticks and asked Li Zhentai, “What does Uncle Li mean?”

Li Zhentai smiled and said to her, “From what Dad said, it means that he is rushing us.”

Wen Chun then followed suit and smiled as she said, “Then let’s discuss it when Uncle Li will come back.”

Li Zhentai’s expression was a little subtle for a moment. His initial intention was for them to discuss the decision first and directly notify Li Jianglin when he came back; but Wen Chun took advantage of the situation for her own benefit and told him to wait for Li Jianglin to come back to discuss.

No one knows when Li Jianglin will come back. Li Zhentai also was unable to call Li Jianglin to come back for this kind of thing. When that happened, Li Jianglin would look down on him because he couldn’t even handle his girlfriend.

Li Zhenruo licked the beef that Li Zhenran gave him, and thought it meant that Wen Chun didn’t want to get married, and he couldn’t help but look at Li Zhenzi again. He found that Li Zhenzi didn’t have much expression on his face. From beginning to end, neither Li Zhenzi nor Wen Chun’s eyes met.

Everything was still a mystery.

What shitty little brother! Li Zhenruo lay on the swing chair on the top floor, thinking thoughtlessly; if he hadn’t died at that time, and if he was still in Li’s house, he probably wouldn’t know the current situation.

What’s the use of thinking about these? After all, he was not even Li Jianglin’s son anymore. The fight between the Li family brothers has nothing to do with him. The only thing he wanted to know was who was the murderer who framed him.

There were footsteps coming towards the top floor, and the people who would come up at this time are usually the cleaning auntie Wu.

Li Zhenruo jumped off the swing chair and rushed out of the building door. He went all the way from the top floor to the first floor, planning to go to the dining room to drink some water.

When passing the second floor, Li Zhenruo couldn’t help but slow down. He vaguely noticed at the end of the corridor, it turned out that there was light from the direction of his room. He couldn’t help but walk over and take a look, and found that the door to his room was not closed.

Maybe the auntie forgot to close it after cleaning.

Li Zhenruo walked to the door of the room and suddenly had an idea. His heart was pounding. If this plan was to be implemented, he must act fast! The auntie went upstairs to clean, and maybe it would take about half an hour for her to come down. She would come and close the door if she found that the door was not closed. He might not have this chance tomorrow.

Li Zhenruo turned around and ran back to the third floor, pulling a piece of toilet paper out of the bathroom. There was a fruit knife in the drawer of the bar counter in the recreation room. Although he didn’t want to make a cut on his body, the time was too short for him to make more preparations.

He jumped onto the bar, opened the drawer with his paws and mouth, and then took out the fruit knife inside the drawer.

Li Zhenruo at this time deeply realized the inconvenience of not having hands. His movements seemed very awkward, and he almost scratched his neck when he pulled the knife out.

His eyes widened in amazement, but he didn’t feel the pain. Only then did he realize that the hair was too thick, and as a result, only a lot of hair was cut by the knife.

One paw pressed on the hilt, and Li Zhenruo took a deep breath. The wrist of the other side of the foreleg near the paw was swiped on the blade. He didn’t need to do it too deeply, because he didn’t need much blood.

But this action still hurts to the point of tears. Why is a cat unable to endure this much pain?

He rubbed a little blood on the toilet paper, and was careful not to get the cat’s hair on it, then used his paws to crumple the paper to a ball, and ran towards his room on the second floor carefully.

At this time, the aunt was still cleaning the roof of the building.

He limped along the way, and the wound on his left forelimb hurt when he exerted some force. Fortunately, the cut was shallow and he didn’t continue to bleed.

He threw the blood-stained paper ball into the trash can in the bathroom. Perhaps she won’t notice it today, but she will definitely find it after cleaning up tomorrow.

When the time came, he wanted to observe the auntie’s reaction carefully.

He went back to the third floor, endured the pain, jumped onto the bar, and cleaned the fruit knife.

After that Li Zhenruo lay down on the bar and miserably licked the wound for a long time.

After cleaning the top floor, the auntie went straight down to the first floor. After passing through the second floor, she found that she had forgotten to close the door of Li Zhenruo’s room. She walked over and closed the door again, but she hadn’t found the toilet paper ball.

In the afternoon, Li Zhenran was the one who first discovered that Li Zhenruo had injured a leg.

Li Zhenruo didn’t really want him to notice, but Li Zhenran still reached out and grabbed his paw and found the wound on his wrist.

“What happened?”

Li Zhenruo pretended to be pitiful and cried out. Anyway, he was a cat, so he didn’t have to reply to any embarrassing questions.

Li Zhenran thought that Li Zhenruo was not careful and was scratched somewhere, so he asked Wang Ma to find iodine and wipe it on him a little.

By the time of cleaning the next day, Li Zhenruo quietly lay on the corner of the stairs on the second floor, waiting for the auntie’s response.

Less than five minutes after cleaning Aunt Wu entered his room, Li Zhenruo heard a scream from inside.

Li Zhenruo thought: Here it comes! and stood up immediately.

Wang Ma heard the scream and came from the first floor with a frown, she asked, “What’s the matter?”

Auntie Wu came out of the room with a look of horror, and her breath was a little uneven. She saw Wang Ma on the stairs, and hurriedly took her hand and said, “There is… ghost!”

Li Zhenruo stood right at his feet, but no one would pay attention to a cat at this time.

When Wang Ma saw that Auntie Wu was in a state of shock and had run out of Li Zhenruo’s room, she was not too happy and said, “What’s with all the noise? Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?”

But Auntie Wu still had a pale face, and pulled Wang Ma’s wrist, “Wang Ma, you come over with me to see.”

With that, Auntie Wu took Wang Ma towards Li Zhenruo’s room.

Li Zhenruo followed. He felt that Auntie Wu’s reaction was a little too excessive. Linking a bloody tissue to a haunting, indicating that she had noticed the tissue he had thrown in the trash at that time, was very likely the same tissue that was handed over from her and was sent for identification.

Chapter 12

January 22, 2022 / hoenimochi / 1 Comment

Li Zhentai’s ankle bone was cracked by Li Zhenzhi’s ball.

When he heard the news, Li Zhenruo thought to himself that the third child was really ruthless, Why should he do things heavy-handedly?

But in the past few days, Li Zhenzi has run back and forth a lot because of Li Zhentai’s foot injury, which could be considered as doing so much for him.

The injured Li Zhentai did not go to the company for a short time but stayed at home to recuperate.

Wen Chun came to see him every night, and would leave after sitting with him for a while, but never stayed at Li’s house overnight.

Li Zhentai was not like Li Zhenran. Even if he stayed at home, Li Zhenruo didn’t stick to him. He just liked to eavesdropped on what Li Zhentai and Wen Chun were saying.

But one afternoon, the family had a guest visiting.

Li Zhentai limped on one foot, and also hopped down from the second floor.

Li Zhenruo heard the movement and also followed down from upstairs.

It was not rare guests who came here, but it was Gao Qi, Li Zhentai’s assistant. After seeing Gao Qi, Li Zhentai led him into the study on the first floor to talk, and at the same time reached out and closed the study door.

Li Zhenruo was a step too slow to follow in. After much regret, he simply went out from the gate and walked around the back of the villa, rushing to the window sill to eavesdrop.

No one would pay attention to a cat.

The study on the first floor was actually Li Jianglin’s study. After he left, it had been left empty and unused. Usually, the Li family brothers would never enter his study at home without authorization.

Perhaps because Li Zhentai’s legs were uncomfortable, he walked inside directly with Gao Qi. But Li Zhenruo felt that it was mainly because there was no one else in the house, and only Li Zhentai was there, so he couldn’t help being reckless.

Gao Qi came here mainly to bring a piece of document for Li Zhentai to sign. It was too far away, and Li Zhenruo could not see what document it was. But seeing where he signed it, it looked like a business contract.

After signing, Gao Qi reported to Li Zhentai about the recent situation in the company.

Li Zhenruo got down, his tail casually flapping on the edge of the window sill. Li Zhenruo didn’t have much interest in the company’s current situation reported by Gao Qi to Li Zhentai. He had no idea about Li family’s activity up until now.

Even if he had the ability to sit down on his ass and kill the person who harmed him, he would not have the ability to take down the Li family’s property with the body of a cat.

Besides, what did he even need to take them down for? A top-notch cat food? Or to have cat climbing frames in every corner of the house?

It’s just that the company was controlled by Li Zhenran. Li Zhentai was not the only one who was unhappy, he too was more or less unhappy.

Li Zhentai was also quite calm, and expressionless after listening to Gao Qi’s report. He didn’t say anything, but finally suddenly said, “I plan to go to the coastal hotel project to see the progress of the project.”

Li Zhenruo felt a little strange. He obviously heard Li Zhentai and Wen Chun talk last time and knew that Li Zhentai was not very concerned about coastal hotel projects. Now that he has injured his feet, why did he suddenly plan to go there?

Subsequently, Li Zhentai said to Gao Qi, “I planned to see Dad later.”

Li Zhenruo’s tail slowly flicked from the left to the right. He knew it. Li Jianglin was recuperating on the coast now, and his sons were usually out of contact with him, and rashly going there in the past can easily attract the attention of other brothers.

Li Zhentai took advantage of his injury to inspect the project first and then dropped in to Li Jianglin to show off his performance.

Of course, it was hard to say whether it would be to Li Jianglin’s liking. Li Zhenruo has always felt that Li Jianglin’s personality was very unpredictable. Even Li Zhenran, whom he liked, sometimes Li Jianglin didn’t necessarily have much to support. In regards to his four sons, Li Jianglin really treated them equally, and only looked at their abilities.

But no matter what, Li Zhenran also understood that Li Zhentai was going there to test his mood. After all, Li Zhentai was now the least valued one, even worse than Li Zhenzi.

Gao Qi obviously understood Li Zhentai’s plan, and asked, “Does Miss Wen want to come along?”

Li Zhentai shook his head, “She doesn’t have that time.”

Gao Qi said, “I just think the chairman likes Miss Wen. If he sees Miss Wen go with you, he will be in a better mood.”

It was true that Li Jianglin liked Wen Chun, otherwise, he would not have stepped in to let Li Zhentai and Wen Chun be together.

Li Zhentai thought for a while and finally said, “Let me ask her, wait until I call you and book the plane ticket. You don’t have to go, I will find someone to accompany me.”

Gao Qi responded, “Okay.”

Li Zhentai got up from the seat, and Gao Qi came to help him. Li Zhentai smiled and patted Gao Qi on the shoulder, and walked out with his help.

Gao Qi moved quickly. Li Zhentai with his one limped foot the next day asked the driver to drive him to the airport.

It’s impossible for Li Zhenruo to keep an eye on him, so he didn’t know if he could persuade Wen Chun to accompany him in the end.

In fact, Li Zhenruo felt rather than saying that Li Zhentai didn’t want to go with Wen Chun, it was better to say that Wen Chun was the one that was not willing to accompany Li Zhentai. Li Zhentai himself understood Wen Chun’s thoughts.

To put it bluntly, Wen Chun and Li Zhentai were like an arranged marriage in ancient times. Although they were given time to fall in love first, only they knew how much they loved each other.

Li Zhenruo thought this kind of relationship was also very exhausting.

Because he was thinking of Li Zhentai and Wen Chun, he unconsciously thought of Li Zhenran. Is Li Zhenran also waiting to marry a woman he doesn’t love?

What is Li Zhenran thinking about? Li Zhenruo found that he was really unpredictable.

Two days later, when Li Zhenran came back, he brought Li Zhenruo a claw scratching pad and a cat climbing frame, all of which were placed on the third floor.

And Li Zhenruo found that he was really overjoyed. After the cat climbing frame was placed, he couldn’t wait to climb up and stay.

If he was really just a cat, he might have fallen in love with Li Zhenran a long time ago.

At night, Li Zhenran sat on his bed reading a book, Li Zhenruo walked over and rubbed his leg.

Li Zhenran raised his eyes to look at him, and then scratched Li Zhenruo’s neck with his toes.

Li Zhenruo yelled in his heart, “Take off the smelly feet!” But his body honestly felt very comfortable, and he finally lay down on the side of Li Zhenran’s feet.

Li Zhenran poked Li Zhenruo in the nose with his toe.

Li Zhenruo was furious, but he was too lazy to move. After Li Zhenran fiddled with him a few times, Li Zhenruo grabbed Li Zhenran’s feet with his two paws and bit the toes.

Of course he didn’t bite, but Li Zhenruo suddenly realized what he was doing. He got up from the ground and ran out quickly. He thought that he really started to become a cat.

Feeling a little gloomy, Li Zhenruo planned to go to the first floor to give himself a meal and chew some cat food.

He had just walked down the stairs to the first floor when he saw Li Zhenzi opening the door to come in from outside.

Li Zhenruo subconsciously wanted to hide, but when he turned around, he thought again, What am I afraid of? Then he continued to run towards the dining room.

Since Li Zhen didn’t drink today, he naturally wouldn’t go crazy. Li Zhenzi clearly saw that the stupid cat stopped for a while and ran towards the dining room when he saw him. He felt it was a little funny, and then followed.

Li Zhenruo lay down in front of his rice bowl to eat, with his round hairy buttocks leaning forward, causing Li Zhenzi to reach out and pinched it.

Li Zhenruo suddenly jumped up and hid in the corner looking at Li Zhenzi in horror, cursing a series of swear words in his heart.

Li Zhenzi looked at him with a smile and then reached out to grab him.

Li Zhenruo was already hiding in the corner, and there was nowhere to hide. He wanted to get out by taking advantage of the space from under Li Zhenzi’s arm when he stretched out his hand. But Li Zhenruo suddenly caught a smell on Li Zhenzi’s sleeve, and he couldn’t help but be caught after walking a few steps.

“Fat cat,” Li Zhenzi said.

Li Zhenruo had no intention to correct Li Zhenzi since he was just puffy. And he was too focused on sniffing the smell on Li Zhenzi. It was a perfume, and it was a lady’s perfume.

After Li Zhenruo became a cat, his sense of smell has been enhanced a lot. He could clearly distinguish the scent he recently smelled on a woman, but which woman was it?

Li Zhenzi saw the cat in his hand suddenly became silly and didn’t respond. So he lost his interest in teasing and put him back on the ground.

Li Zhenruo suddenly remembered that the smell of this perfume was exactly the same as that on Wen Chun’s body. He was sure of it.

He lifted his hand and stared at Li Zhenzi in surprise with his round cat eyes.

Li Zhentai has gone to the coast. How could Li Zhenzi see Wen Chun today, and was still tainted with Wen Chun’s perfume? He knows that Li Zhenzi loved to play around, and have countless women outside. Even though Wen Chun hasn’t married Li Zhentai yet, she could very well be their future sister-in-law.

Li Zhenzi dared to touch Wen Chun?

Li Zhenzi didn’t understand what Li Zhenruo’s expression meant, but felt that he looked dumbfounded. So he stood up and said to him, “Eat slowly,” and then walked towards the stairs.

Li Zhenruo was overwhelmed, thinking that if Li Zhenzi really hooked up with Wen Chun, he couldn’t help to feel that it was too disgusting. Even a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass around its burrow¹, let alone its eldest brother’s woman?

The unforeseen incident was so great that Li Zhenruo felt that he was full and didn’t want to continue eating supper.

He followed Li Zhenzi to the second floor and wanted to follow to his room to have a look, but Li Zhenzi saw him walking past but did not slow down, and closed the door in front of him.

Li Zhenruo stood there hesitating for a while, and finally did not go around the window, but chose to go back to the third floor to sleep.

However, when he arrived on the third floor, he found that Li Zhenran’s door still had a gap. Li Zhenruo dawdled for a while, walked over and used his head to open the crack to get in, and ran to Li Zhenran’s tatami.

The author has something to say:

He will change, don’t rush!

My manuscript box is covered tightly

Chapter 11

January 19, 2022 / hoenimochi / 2 Comments

Before their tennis game started, everyone sat in the living room on the first floor and chatted for a while.

In any case, no one could touch Li Zhenruo’s place. He watched the people in a room saying meaningless compliments to each other and yawned boredly.

But if he could sit among these people, he would probably do the same thing.

The only person who was silent was Li Zhenran. He was holding the phone and no one knew what he was looking at.

Li Zhenruo felt curious and jumped onto the back of the single sofa where Li Zhenran was sitting. He looked at his phone and saw that Li Zhenran was playing a brainless minigame.

Li Zhenruo couldn’t help rolling his eyes. His foot then slipped from the back of the chair and he fell into Li Zhenran’s arms.

At this moment, Yue Zijia, who was sitting opposite, looked over and said, “When did you have a cat in your house? Who is in the mood to take care of it?”

Li Zhenzi rushed to say, “My second brother raised it. Didn’t you see how much that cat sticks to him?”

Wen Chun smiled and said, “How come I heard that you are the one raising it? Has the injury on your face healed?”

The scratch on Li Zhenzi’s face was originally shallow, and now only a faint trace is left. He chuckled and said, “My second brother likes it, so I gave it away.”

Li Zhenran didn’t say anything, and just brushed Li Zhenruo’s hair.

Li Zhenruo rested his head on Li Zhenran’s arm.

The so-called match was actually the Li brothers playing a game on their own. There was no official referee, and Su Yao would be their referee.

Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia on one side, while Li Zhentai and Wen Chun on the other.

Li Zhenran and Hua Yibang sat under the sun umbrella and watched them play while sipping their drinks.

Li Zhenruo, on the other hand, regarded Li Zhenran’s lap as his throne and sits comfortably.

There were handsome men and beauties on both sides. The tennis skirts of the two beauties especially showed long white and thin legs, which could dazzle people’s eyes when they run.

Li Zhenruo’s head couldn’t help but sway left and right with the tennis ball. He couldn’t control it at all!

Su Yao wore a sun hat and was also dressed quite refreshingly. She stood next to Li Zhenran and saw Li Zhenruo shaking his head from side to side. She found it very interesting. After a while, she laughed and stretched out her hand to hold Li Zhenruo’s big face and shook it hard.

Li Zhenruo was dizzy because of her, and when he saw the tennis court again, he couldn’t help swaying his head left and right. He felt embarrassed and turned to face Li Zhenran to look up at him.

It just so happened that Li Zhenran was also looking at him. Li Zhenran reached out and rubbed the top of Li Zhenruo’s head.

Li Zhenruo immediately felt comfortable, and his heart was coaxed into warmth by Li Zhenran’s gentle movements, so he lay his forelimbs on Li Zhenran’s chest, stretched his neck and tried to touch Li Zhenran’s nose with his nose.

But to his surprise, Li Zhenran turned his head slightly to avoid it.

Li Zhenruo felt hurt in an instant, and he was taken aback. He jumped off Li Zhenran’s leg, walked two steps aside and hid at Hua Yibang’s feet to continue watching them play.

The skills of Li Zhentai’s couple are obviously far inferior to Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia.

In order not to let a game be too one-sided, after Li Zhenzi exchanged a few words with Yue Zijia, they obviously slowed down and played more gently.

Li Zhentai’s 32 years old physical strength seems to be somewhat different from that of 25 years old Li Zhenzi. He was panting shortly after the game, and sweats kept slipping from his forehead.

Wen Chun waved her tennis racket and pointed at the two people on the opposite side, “Looking down on us, huh? Give me all you got!”

Li Zhenzi laughed when he heard that, and said, “We wouldn’t dare!”

After saying that, he made a heavy spike and hit the opponent’s court.

After Li Zhenruo found out that he had become a cat, his dynamic visual ability had obviously become stronger. He felt that from the angle of the ball, it might hit Li Zhentai.

Sure enough, after the ball passed, Wen Chun’s cry of surprise was heard, and the ball happened to hit Li Zhentai’s ankle. When Li Zhentai saw the ball coming, he subconsciously wanted to dodge. As a result, he took a step back in a panic but still couldn’t escape. Not only was he hit on the fragile joint, but he also sprained his back part and sat on the ground.

“Zhentai!” Wen Chun said in a panic.

Li Zhenzi dropped his racket and ran over to this side of the court, “Eldest brother?”

Li Zhenran and Hua Yibang, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, also got up and walked towards the middle of the field.

Li Zhentai’s face was full of sweat. As he sat on the ground and moved his ankles, his face changed suddenly. He raised his head and said, “It hurts badly.”

Li Zhenzi squatted beside him, held Li Zhentai’s ankle and moved lightly, and heard him letting a cry of pain.

Wen Chun helped Li Zhentai wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said, “Should we call a doctor to take a look?”

Li Zhenran stood by and said, “It’s best to go to the hospital, I’m afraid the bones might be injured.”

Li Zhenzi looked regretful when he heard that. He said, “Eldest brother, can you get up? I’ll take you to the hospital, okay?”

Li Zhentai patted him on the shoulder, “It’s okay, just let old Chen come. Don’t you have a barbecue banquet later?”

Li Zhenzi said, “It’s all my fault.”

Li Zhentai smiled, “What silly things to say. It’s an exercise, it’s inevitable to avoid a little injury, don’t take it to heart.”

Li Zhenzi blamed himself, while Li Zhentai was beside to comfort him.

In the end, Li Zhenzi personally carried Li Zhentai on his back, and at the same time ordered the driver to prepare a car to send Li Zhentai to the hospital. Today’s barbecue banquet was naturally cancelled.

Li Zhentai went to the hospital, and Wen Chun definitely wanted to follow him. Li Zhenzi went with him because he was the one who accidentally injured Li Zhentai. Before leaving, he instructed Su Yao to send Yue Zijia back, and apologize to Yue Zijia that he would invite her to dinner next time.

Yue Zijia smiled and said to him, “It doesn’t matter, Tai ge’s health is more important.”

In the end, Li Zhenran and Hua Yibang were the only two left.

They walked unhurriedly towards the front yard, while Li Zhenruo followed not far behind them.

Hua Yibang, who had been quiet, suddenly said to Li Zhenran, “Are you saying that Mr Li the third is deliberately targeting Mr Li the first?”

Li Zhenruo was taken aback and looked up at Hua Yibang. Hua Yibang had always been a rigid and serious honest person when he came into contact with him in the past. He had never thought that this honest person actually had this kind of thought for such an accident today.

This was probably the difference between Hua Yibang in front of him and Li Zhenran.

Li Zhenruo’s heart was beating fast, and he wanted to hear what Li Zhenran thought.

However, Li Zhenran just groaned and smiled and did not express his opinion. He was dressed in casual clothes with his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked forward unhurriedly. When Hua Yibang saw that he was silent, he did not continue to question.

Li Zhenruo stopped at this moment. He looked back at the empty tennis court and recalled the angle from which Li Zhenzi had hit the ball just now.

If it were him, would he also have thought that Li Zhenzhi was deliberately targeting Li Zhentai?

But when he thought about it carefully, it’s not like Li Zhenzi could hit Li Zhentai to death with a tennis ball. So there was no meaning in embarrassing Li Zhentai. If he were Li Zhenzi, he would not do such meaningless things.

Thus, it must be accidental.

The planned barbecue party was cancelled.

Li Zhenruo felt a bit regretful. He originally thought that he could ask Li Zhenran for something to eat at night, so he didn’t need to continue eating cat food. As a result of this incident, the Li family had a very simple dinner, and he had to chew dry cat food.

After dinner, Li Zhenran went out for a walk. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Zhenruo, but Li Zhenruo ignored him.

Li Zhenruo was still holding a grudge. He rarely wanted to show intimacy to Li Zhenran, but he was relentlessly rejected. As expected, his second brother was indeed cold and detached.

Li Zhenran went for a walk and came back. Li Zhenruo was grinding his claws on the carpet in the living room.

Wang Ma took a look and said quickly, “Oh my! You scratched the carpet! You bad cat, go away!”

She drove Li Zhenruo away.

Li Zhenruo felt a bit wronged, he didn’t mean to scratch the carpet, but his paws felt uncomfortable if he didn’t scratch something.

Wang Ma had never raised a cat and didn’t understand this. She only thought that he was making trouble. Later, she took a closer look in the living room and saw that he had also scratched the sofa. So she went to get a stick and didn’t even let him climb on the sofa, and chased him away when she saw him coming.

Li Zhenruo went up to the third floor with his tail dropped.

Li Zhenran also went back upstairs. Instead of going to the room, he went to the study to get a book, then went up to the top floor and sat down on the swing chair, reading a book while swaying.

Li Zhenruo swung around on the third floor and went to the top floor. He jumped to the pool table and scratched it casually. He knew that Li Zhenran was there, but did not want to go over.

The swing chair under Li Zhenran kept swaying back and forth.

A scent floating in the air suddenly attracted Li Zhenruo. He stood up on the pool table, raised his head and sniffed the air, and distinguished that it was the smell of dried small fish.

The smell of dried fish came from Li Zhenran’s direction.

Li Zhenruo was quiet for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but jump down and walk towards Li Zhenran. He walked around from the side of the swing chair, tried his best to look, and saw that Li Zhenran really had a bag of dried fish in his hand.

The package of dried fish had been opened, Li Zhenran took one out and shook it in front of Li Zhenruo.

Li Zhenruo looked up for a while, closed his eyes hard, and finally jumped up hopelessly. He approached Li Zhenran and saw Li Zhenran put the dried fish in front of him.

When he opened his mouth to bite, Li Zhenran actually retracted his hand.

Li Zhenruo was biting the air.

He suddenly became a little unhappy. He saw Li Zhenran about to tease him again with dried fish, and he stopped biting this time. He jumped up and gnawed at Li Zhenran’s neck, but it was a pity that his mouth was short, so he didn’t bite anything. He just rubbed Li Zhenran all over with his saliva.

Li Zhenran let out a muffled laugh.

Li Zhenruo felt Li Zhenran’s chest tremble, stopped his movements, and looked up at Li Zhenran.

This time, Li Zhenran brought the dried fish to his mouth, and when Li Zhenruo took a bite, Li Zhenran raised his hand and touched the top of Li Zhenruo’s head.

Li Zhenruo felt that he was not so angry anymore.

Notes:
