Chapter 41

       When Li Zhenran came down to eat breakfast, Zhu Kai said to him with great interest, “Zhenran, are you swimming in the afternoon?”

       Li Zhenruo went downstairs before Li Zhenran and was lying next to the dining table looking at today’s breakfast. When he heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenran smiled and replied, “Yes.”

       Li Zhenruo knew that Li Zhenran’s swimming skills were very good. He remembered that Li Zhenran seemed to have participated in a national swimming competition when he was in high school. Although Li Zhenran only won second place in the end, Li Zhenruo felt very amazed at that time.

       In his memory, he had seen Li Zhenran more than once in front of the swimming pool at home, wearing a pair of dark swimming trunks, stretching his slender body and jumping into the water, swimming forward like a fish through the waves.

       Later, as he got older, his time at home gradually became less, and he had less communication with Li Zhenran. Unexpectedly, there was nothing much to remember.

       The workers at home spent the morning cleaning out the swimming pool and began to fill up the water at noon. In the afternoon, Li Zhenruo took a nap and was lying on the window sill of Li Zhenran’s room on the third floor. He looked down and saw the rippling water as if he could feel the cool water coming to his face.

       Zhu Kai was the most energetic. He changed into a pair of swimming trunks, revealing a slightly thin and pale body. He stood on the edge of the pool, and shouted at the window of Li Zhenran’s room, “Zhenran, come down and swim!”

       Wang Ma took her unfinished sweater and sat under the parasol next to the swimming pool, smiling and watching Zhu Kai making a fuss by the swimming pool.

       Li Zhenruo jumped out of the window at this time. He ran to the bed and slapped Li Zhenran, who was still taking a nap with his paws, urging him to go swimming.

       Li Zhenran rubbed his eyes and sat up, went over to open the closet and started rummaging for his swimming trunks.

       When Li Zhenran stood in front of the swimming pool wearing swimming trunks, Li Zhenruo felt a little excited for no reason. Li Zhenran’s figure was much better than Zhu Kai’s. He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist and tight muscles. He made a standard exercise for entering the water, while Li Zhenruo spun on the side and almost fell into the pool.

       Then he calmed down and thought to himself what he was getting excited about.

       Li Zhenran didn’t jump into the water, but raised his hand and patted Li Zhenruo’s butt next to him, and patted him to dive in first. 

       Li Zhenruo fell into the water with a “slap” sound, only splashing a little water. Then he immediately started to be flustered and scrambled up. He was supposed to be able to swim, but at this time his limbs were uncoordinated and he didn’t know how to swim up.

       Wang Ma let out a burst of laughter.

       Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenran jumped into the water and supported Li Zhenruo’s forelimbs with his palms to lift him up.

       Li Zhenruo was still in shock, spit out the water he swallowed and gasped for air.

       Li Zhenran raised his hand and placed him on the shore of the pool, then stretched his arms to cut through the waves, and his slender and vigorous body was wrapped in white water and shot out like an arrow shot from a bow.

       Li Zhenruo stood on the shore, the fur all over his body was wet and sticking to his body. He looked thin and pitiful and sneezed twice. He stared at Li Zhenran in the water and was stunned.

       Zhu Kai sat aside, and patted Erhuang on the head, letting it go play by itself.

       Erhuang came towards Li Zhenruo, lowered his head and sniffed at him.

       Li Zhenruo quickly got up and moved away.

       Erhuang followed and seemed to be full of curiosity. Erhuang leaned close to Li Zhenruo’s head and sniffed hard.

       At this time, Li Zhenran had already swam back and forth to the edge of the swimming pool. He reached out and grabbed Li Zhenruo and put it on his shoulders. Li Zhenruo was afraid of slipping off, so he quickly grabbed Li Zhenran’s neck with his paws.

       “So lively today?” Li Zhenzi’s voice suddenly came from the shore.

       Li Zhenruo turned to look and saw Li Zhenzi wearing a casual suit and black leather shoes stepping on the white tiles next to the pool.

       Zhu Kai just jumped into the water. When he saw Li Zhenzi, he said, “Daniel, come down and play.”

       Li Zhenzi hasn’t come back since last night’s charity dinner. He should’ve spent the night at Yu Bingwei’s. He squatted down on the edge of the pool at this time and said with a smile, “I can’t swim, so I’d better watch my second brother swim. His movement is the most beautiful, and is all professional.”

       Li Zhenran’s wheat-coloured skin was stained with bright water droplets, and it shone in the sun. Li Zhenruo hugged his neck and stuck his head out from his shoulders, looking down. He was seeing the firm and supple chest, flat belly lines clearly extended to the swim trunks inside, covering the most beautiful scenery.

       Well, Li Zhenruo knew what the powerful thing that was underneath, and he suddenly felt a little shy when he thought of it, just like a young girl in love.

       He buried his face in Li Zhenran’s neck and rubbed it hard, and felt that Li Zhenran raised his hand to hold his ass.

       He didn’t know when, but Li Jianglin also came to the edge of the pool on his crutch.

       Wang Ma quickly got up and gave him her seat, and took another small stool to sit next to him.

       Li Jianglin was sitting on the chair, his eyes passed over Li Zhenran, looked at Zhu Kai, and finally waved to Li Zhenzi who was by the swimming pool, “Come here.”

       “Dad?” Li Zhenzi hurriedly walked over when he heard the words, slightly bending down and waiting for him to speak.

       Li Jianglin asked, “Where did you go last night?”

       Li Zhenzi often spends the night outside, and Li Jianglin knew this son well. He usually didn’t ask much, so no one expected him to ask such a question suddenly today.

       After a little hesitation, Li Zhenzi said, “I went out to play with my friends.”

       Li Jianglin’s eyes fell on the swimming pool, and he said to Li Zhenzi, “Your eldest brother is getting married. You’d better behave yourself during this time.”

       What did Li Zhentai’s marriage have to do with Li Zhenzi? What was the use of asking Li Zhenzi to behave?

       Li Zhenzi frowned slightly, and replied obediently, “Yes, I know.” But he couldn’t help but think more.

       In the swimming pool, Li Zhenruo was still holding on to Li Zhenran and refused to let go.

       Li Zhenran didn’t pull off his paws but simply sank into the water. Li Zhenruo could only follow him to sink into the water, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and was picked up by Li Zhenran.

       This time, he didn’t want to hold on to Li Zhenran anymore, but swam desperately to the shore, waving his little paws.

       Li Zhenran didn’t tease him anymore. He grabbed him and threw him ashore.

       It could be said because Li Zhenran swam in the afternoon, he was exhausted and went to bed as soon as possible at night. But somehow, he seemed to have not depleted all of his energy. In the end, he caught Li Zhenruo and torment him hard at night.

       Li Zhenruo felt like he was drowning again. With Li Zhenran’s violent movements, moving up and down. He dizzily thought that fortunately, Li Zhentai and his wife went out and were not downstairs. Since no matter how good the soundproofing of this floor was, it would not be able to cover the voice wholly. It was estimated that when tomorrow morning came, they would think that Li Zhenran was a pervert.

       Although the air conditioner was on, Li Zhenruo was sweating and felt sticky on his skin. He was hugged by Li Zhenran from behind, struggling to take a shower.

       Li Zhenran didn’t feel sleepy at this time, he tightly wrapped Li Zhenruo’s waist with one hand, and pulled his face with the other hand to make him turn to look at him.

       Li Zhenruo’s neck almost broke.

       Li Zhenran said, “Are you a cat demon?”

       This topic has not been brought up for a long time, and Li Zhenruo almost forgot. When he had just transformed into a human form, Li Zhenran had doubted him and felt that Li Zhenruo knew too much, and he didn’t look like an ignorant little demon who had just transformed into a human form.

       Later, he interrupted him. Li Zhenran hasn’t mentioned it for a long time. Li Zhenruo didn’t know what he did today that made Li Zhenran suddenly grab and asked him about this matter.

       Li Zhenruo said, “Yes, otherwise what am I?”

       Li Zhenran squeezed his face with a lot of strength, “I think you are a thousand-year-old demon?”

       Li Zhenruo wanted to roll his eyes and retorted, “From where is that age from?”

       Li Zhenran said, “Did an old demon from Montenegro send you to seduce men and suck people’s Yang energy?”

       Li Zhenruo took a deep breath, grabbed Li Zhenran’s hand and pushed it away, “Don’t talk nonsense, you are the one tormenting me to death yourself, and now you have the nerve to blame me?” He rolled over and sat up, his waist was still a bit sore and weak.

       Li Zhenran propped his head on one hand and looked at him with a faint smile on his face.

       Li Zhenruo turned his head, hesitated, and then turned his whole body around. He casually sat cross-legged in front of Li Zhenran and said, “I’m not a thousand-year-old demon, I’m just an ordinary young demon. I met some catastrophe and suffered some injuries. Then in order to defend the core, I transformed into a cub, and ended up in a pet store just to be bought by someone.”

       This was complete nonsense. If Li Zhenran wants to insist on getting to the bottom of the matter, Li Zhenruo may not be able to complete the whole story, but he felt that with Li Zhenran’s character, he would not ask too much.

       Originally, it was bizarre enough for a cat to become a human, so let’s make it a little more mysterious and make up a reasonable history for himself.

       Besides, there really were demons in this world. Didn’t you think Xia Hongshen is?

       Li Zhenran really did not pursue it until the end. He just raised his hand, touched Li Zhenruo’s chest, right where the heart was, and asked him, “Is the injury healed?”

       Li Zhenruo felt his heart pounding wildly, he stared at Li Zhenran and said, “Yes, you see I can even maintain my human form.” After speaking, he licked his lips again, trying to hide his nervousness, and said, “In the past, only when I was in a rut, and the spiritual power was unstable, it was possible to transform into a human form.”

       Li Zhenran raised his hand and stroked Li Zhenruo’s moist lips with his fingers.

       This kind of tender look at Li Zhenruo really made Li Zhenruo feel a little uncomfortable. He simply closed his eyes, rushed towards Li Zhenran, pressed him on the bed and kissed his lips.

       What’s the point of talking so much? You’d better do it directly.

       On Sunday night, Li Zhentai and Wen Chun returned from Saipan after taking their wedding photos. They didn’t go for a long time this time, mainly because there were still many things to prepare for the wedding, and there was not too much time to rest.

       Because Li Zhenzi was hammered by Li Jianglin, he has been abnormally well-behaved in the past two days. After dinner, he went back to his room and locked himself up without harassing Wen Chun.

       During dinner, Zhu Kai asked Wen Chun, “Is it fun?”

       Wen Chun smiled, “Where’s the fun, just busy taking pictures and feeling exhausted.”

       Zhu Kai said with a smile, “At the most beautiful moment of a woman’s life, with her favourite man, wearing the most beautiful clothes and leaving a memory of love in the most beautiful place, what is a little tired?”

       Wen Chun heard the words and still smiled, but if one looked closely, the smile was somewhat reluctant, with a little unclear meaning.

       Li Zhenruo was lying on the side and thought that Zhu Kai must have done it on purpose. In the beginning, he made a special call to ask Zhu Kai to tell Li Jianglin of Wen Chun’s affair, of course, Zhu Kai couldn’t have forgotten it so quickly.

       He knew that Wen Chun had a problem with Li Zhentai’s feelings, and he deliberately said it to irritate people.

       Zhu Kai is such a s/ut!

       Li Zhenruo licked his paws and looked at Li Zhentai, who was talking to Li Jianglin: Was it you who called Yue Zijia that night?

       On Monday morning, Yunlin had a relatively large board of directors, and Li Jianglin was invited to attend.

       Li Zhenruo followed Li Zhenran into Yunlin, but Li Zhenran ignored him. He packed up and walked towards the conference room. He left Li Zhenruo to put on a set of clothes by himself and rummage through the cabinets. He still could not find his ID card, so he could only collect the money and card and went out.

       Hua Yibang had also followed Li Zhenran to the conference room at this time. Li Zhenruo had just come out of Li Zhenran’s office when he saw the door of the opposite office open, and Li Zhenzi hurriedly walked towards the elevator.

       Seeing Li Zhenruo, Li Zhenzi suddenly stopped, and then smiled at him, “Are you here to find my second brother?”

       Li Zhenruo pretended to be timid, “Ran ge said he had a meeting and told me to go first.”

       Su Yao came out after Li Zhenzi and was a little surprised to see Li Zhenruo, but she reminded Li Zhenzi, “We’re going to be late.”

       Li Zhenzi didn’t have time to talk nonsense with Li Zhenruo. He pressed the elevator and hurried in.

       Li Zhenruo waited for him to leave, then pressed the elevator button-down and stood in the corridor waiting quietly.

       He has something he intended to do today, which has been in his heart for a long time, and he has not acted because he was worried about Li Zhenran.

       To this day, he still wore the collar that Li Zhenran put on him by himself. And in order to make him less obtrusive when maintaining his human form, Li Zhenran gave him a thinner collar. If one didn’t look carefully, it seemed like he was wearing a necklace around his neck. This collar still has a positioning function, and apart from cutting it with scissors, Li Zhenruo couldn’t take it off without knowing the password.

       The reason for wearing the collar was because Li Zhenruo had sneaked away once, and Li Zhenran said that this kind of behaviour should be put to an end. But Li Zhenruo didn’t know whether Li Zhenran would always keep track of his whereabouts and observe where he went. In fact, for Li Zhenran, even without this collar, it was not difficult to know where he went.

       Of course, Li Zhenran would not necessarily do this.

       After overhearing the phone call between Yue Zijia and “that person” of the Li family at the charity dinner, Li Zhenruo had a thorn in his heart. He had already decided that the call must have been with Li Zhentai, and there was always a voice telling him to rule out the possibility of it being Li Jianglin.

       Where did Yue Zijia get Li Jianglin’s semen? Did she hook up with the son and then hooked up with his father?

       Li Zhenruo was restless. He thought about Zhao Yuqiong’s former residence. The last time he went, he thought about finding someone to unlock it and go in to see if he could find any of Zhao Yuqiong’s remnants. After that, he had to temporarily put the idea down because of various things.

       Now, Li Zhenruo felt that he couldn’t wait any longer.

       When he stepped out of the elevator, he suddenly thought about how he should answer if Li Zhenran knew and asked him. After thinking about it, he felt that he had no way to answer because Li Zhenran was a smart person. If Li Zhenruo’s mother was involved, Li Zhenran would not believe it if he said he wanted to distance himself and hide the relationship.

       Then let’s do it at that time, Li Zhenruo thought to himself, anyway, he was sure that Li Zhenran had nothing to do with this matter.


The author has something to say:

Chapter 20 – I'll take you into the room

Chapter 20 – I’ll take you into the room

 

After Jian Luo took a leave of absence to deal with the matter, he was indeed preparing for the live broadcast.

 

A lot of things have been delayed these days. He rarely goes on the live broadcast platform, so now he feels embarrassed.

 

The information bracelet received a message from Jiang Jiang: “Are you all right?”

 

“I’m okay.” Jian Luo quickly replied: “It’s just that I encountered some problems during this time. Thank you for your concern. I’ll resume live broadcasting.”

 

Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “I will send you the food I made today.”

 

“Okay!” Jiang Jiang said, “Thank you, brother.”

 

Jian Luo started to log in to Jinjiang. The web page buffered for a long time, but it was still blank. No matter, it honed his patience.

 

After placing the small ball down for the live broadcast, he started:

 

“Hi everyone, let’s make shrimp chips today.” Jian Luo smiled: “We can’t sell the french fries from before because of a copyright issue regarding our french fries so we’re making shrimp chips today.”

 

He thought that he had not started broadcasting for many days and should not be popular, not expecting the opposite:

 

“God, the anchor is on!”

“I waited day and night!”

“Anchor, I’m begging you. Open the popcorn for purchase!”

 

Jian Luo glanced at the barrage and said in a relaxed tone: “Well, I’m going to open up the bulk physical purchase of several kinds of food soon. The anchor now has an assistant who can help with packing and shipping, but there is not enough staff, so only a limited amount will be available per day. Fifty shares. These fifty shares will be lucky-drawn in the live broadcast room. Is everyone in favor of this?”

 

The barrage was very cooperative:

 

“I support this.”

“What do you want to eat today?”

“I’m tired of shrimp, I thought you had something new.”

 

Jian Luo ignored some discordant remarks and just continued to prepare the shrimp. He didn’t like to show his face during the live broadcast and generally only liked to show the food to the video-recording console at most.

 

While handling the shrimp, Jian Luo said, “This shrimp must be handled well. Not just the shrimp head, the shrimp line should be picked out from the shrimp meat.”

 

Handling shrimp is not only labor-intensive, but also time-consuming.

 

His hands were white and slender, and he worked swiftly while handling them.

 

“Don’t waste too much of the shrimp heads.”

“Is this delicious?”

“The anchor doesn’t eat the suffering of the world.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know that the Dark Stars originally ate the shrimp heads together. He felt helpless, but he still insisted on his own prep-work: “Then just put all the shrimp meat together.”

 

Because the barrage gradually became discordant, he tried his best to do more instead of speaking.

 

Suddenly-

 

“Drop!”

 

There was a donating notification sent by the small ball.

 

Jian Luo turned his head in surprise. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a prompt: 

 

User: [Feng] sent a deep-water torpedo1Usually, they give a certain fixed amount of donations cute names in live-streaming apps. A deep-water torpedo sounds pretty hefty, so I’m guessing it’s a huge sum of money..

 

That was a lot of money.

 

Jian Luo felt very happy and said, “Thank you for the gift. It’s expensive, so I’ll mail you a copy after the shrimp sticks are made.”

 

The barrage crowd was also stunned by the generous gestures of the local tyrant2A watcher who dominates a live broadcasting room. Because he donated a large sum of money, the other viewers will often know his presence, and the broadcasting anchor will usually also acknowledge/thank them every time they donate..

 

Jian Luo began staring at the barrage.

 

After a while there was finally a very prominent message box.

 

[Feng]: How much will it take for you to show your face?

 

? ? ? ?

 

What a strange request.

 

The barrage is also very excited:

 

“Please show us your face.”

“I’m curious too.”

“The anchor cooks deliciously. I want us to get married.”

“The anchor must be good-looking. I look forward to it. I like the anchor very much.”

 

Jian Luo was a little embarrassed. In fact, it was okay for him to show his face, but he just didn’t like showing his face. He was hesitating when Feng suddenly said, “Forget it. No need to show it.”

 

? ? ?

 

I haven’t promised you anything yet!

 

Jian Luo was stunned by the willfulness of the local tyrant, but he could only endure the incoming complaints and continue: “Then let’s continue cooking.”

 

After that, with the addition of Feng, the live broadcasting room became very lively.

 

Whenever he doesn’t speak, the local tyrant fan will swipe another deep water3Donation.. If he doesn’t speak, he will swipe, so that Jian Luo doesn’t dare not to speak. He feared that others would think it was an attempt to get his undivided attention.

 

In the end, he could not do it anymore.

 

Jian Luo said while frying shrimp sticks, “This… Brother Feng, you don’t need to butter me up so much. I will speak when I should.”

 

His voice fell.

 

Feng swiped one more and said, “Tell me more.”

 

“…”

 

I suspect your brain is sick.

 

Of course, Jian Luo shouldn’t get in trouble with the gold master, so he could only nod his head in agreement. He then submitted a friend request and was going to ask for an address to send the things over.

 

After the friend request was submitted, Jian Luo went into waiting.

 

After waiting a long time, his request to be accepted was not approved so Jian Luo had no choice and simply gave up. His friend’s request was not accepted and that legendary customer can do whatever he wants. He was happy with that.

 

The next day.

 

“Jian Luo!”

 

Secretary Jin walked over with high heels and she looked excited.

 

Jian Lu’s hand trembled while holding the rice and he almost dropped the plate, but he steadied himself: “What’s wrong with Secretary Jin, did I do something?”

 

“No no no no no.” Secretary Jin smiled: “I’m just happy to see you back from vacation.”

 

If I don’t come back, my mother will be killed.

 

But I can’t leave!

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s okay, I’m officially back at work now.”

 

“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Secretary Jin pointed to the inside: “Please send it in by yourself. I still have something to do, so I’ll go first.”

 

Jian Luo was taken aback: “What?”

 

Secretary Jin slipped away faster than anyone else and she had already run a long way ahead when she said: “Take care of yourself. Just send it to the innermost office in the west!”

 

“Hey…wait!”

 

Jian Luo couldn’t carry it anymore and wanted to call her but she ran so fast that she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

 

“I’m a mess, I can’t tell the direction at all.” Jian Luo held the plate with a confused look. Didn’t Secretary Jin send it in before, so why is she so busy today?

 

Jian Luo has always been unclear to whom this meal was given.

 

But he thinks that the office on the west side should be Secretary Kim’s office!

 

Then never mind.

 

Secretary Jin should be relatively busy, so it would be better if he walked a few more steps.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo walked towards the office on the west side. This military base is too complicated. He already walked inside, but he didn’t meet anyone else. It was really outrageous.

 

“Huh? Is that you?”

 

At the corner, the little adjutant almost collided into Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo was overjoyed when he saw him: “Hello, I’m here to deliver a meal. Secretary Jin said she wanted me to deliver…”

 

The little adjutant suddenly realized and interrupted him: “I see, she let you in, didn’t she?!”

 

“Yes, yes.” Jian Luo thought he understood: “Please show me the way, I really can’t find the place.”

 

Guiding the way was simply an easy task.

 

Secretary Jin was very knowledgeable. The marshal was having his manic period at the moment. The courtship problem of the dragon race will become more and more serious as time goes on. He was heated up and was now resting in the bedroom.

 

It was not a suitable time for anyone to deliver meals to him this time.

 

Jian Luo really was in time for the rain.

 

Thinking of this, the adjutant said quickly, “Come, come, I’ll take you, I’ll take you!”
