As if she had heard his words in a trance, Bai Jinxi shifted his attention to the man who was standing in front of his with his eyes closed. He looked at him for a long time and whispered, "I didn't hear it just now. I thought …" He fell asleep.

Bai Jinxi looked at him with grievance: "Hey … …" As expected, an illusion appeared and no one paid any attention to her.

But she was so sleepy. She shifted her body, placed her hands on the crystal table, and slowly closed her eyes. "I really didn't hear it clearly …"

She didn't speak for a long time. The living room was quiet, and she could even hear the breeze blowing.

When he finally opened his eyes, she was asleep.

The morning light shone into the living room, illuminating every corner of the room, filling it with the hope that life was everywhere.

Bai Jinxi sat quietly and waited for Jiang Lingchen to finish washing up. He was like a Barbie doll with cute features that couldn't speak.

When Jiang Lingchen came out of the bathroom, he glanced at Bai Jinxi and walked in front of her in a few steps. She had the fresh aftertaste of shaving water, and despite the slightly cold atmosphere in the morning, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "Wait outside for a while, I'm going to change."

This was the first time Bai Jinxi saw someone wearing this kind of shirt overnight. His hair was a little messy, his dark shirt was unbuttoned a few times, and he stood lazily in front of her, a man s musk mixed with the unique scent of his shaving water;

Bai Jinxi looked at him one last time before stuttering: "Alright, I'll go out now …" He immediately stood up and headed for the door without hesitation. He was stunned by his habit of pushing the door, so he could only turn around and look at him once more. He stuttered, "Password …"

He gave her a careless look. "No."

When she was at the mansion, there was clearly a password. She tried several times, but to no avail. There was no change here, not even in the room. There was a row of neatly arranged toothbrush cups in the bathroom, but they were unexpectedly still in perfect condition. She was stunned for a moment, then softly 'En'. She tried to open the door, but was surprised.

Since he told her to wait outside, she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. Bai Jinxi thoughtfully walked to the courtyard and looked down at the neatly trimmed pots of potted plants. In the winter, the leaves were still as green as ever, and when she reached out to touch them, a warm and wet feeling suddenly came from beneath her feet. It felt like something was licking her feet.

Bai Jinxi carefully turned his body around, but didn't see anything. Suspicious, he lowered his head and sure enough, a small round cat was lying on her feet, its pink tongue lazily licking her feet that were wearing low-heeled shoes. Its round body, round eyes, and two hands that were stuck to her feet were also round.

She happily squatted down and picked up the kitten. With a soft voice, she asked, "Whose kitten is it?"

When Bai Jinxi laughed, his two round eyes were squinting their eyes, as if they could light up a spark of hope, and could curve like a crescent moon.

The kitten then stuck out its tongue and licked her face, and only had a few small teeth in its mouth, making her laugh involuntarily, and happily say, "Ling Chen, look, this kitten is so cute!"

The morning sky was a little wet as it dripped onto the petals of the leaves. The sounds of laughter were like the creaking of birds as they flew, and the response that came from her was a light and nostalgic voice: "Aunt Xiao Bai, be careful of bird flu."

The smile on Bai Jinxi's face gradually faded. After reorganizing his emotions, he then turned around and smiled at Han You: "This cat, who raised it?"

"I don't know. Last time, I saw this cat looking for food in a trash can on the street. It might be a stray cat. Which cat is so worthless!"

Seeing that the cat had been born not long ago, her tongue was pink and her fur was white. If she went back to wash, she would definitely be clean. Bai Jinxi was really fond of cats, and was currently considering whether he could carry them back for adoption.

"Who allowed you to hug it, put it down." Not far away, the sound was mixed with the breeze, sounding deep and mellow.

Bai Jinxi turned his head and saw Jiang Lingchen standing at the doorway. He was dressed in a suit and was tall and slim, his handsome eyebrows knitted together as he stared at the cat in her arms.

She could not help but have some doubts. "This cat, was it raised by you?"

It was her father who went abroad to bring her back a Persian cat of noble blood. At that time, he was allergic to cats and dogs, and he was very tired of her family keeping things, so she had to give the cat to her best classmate, who also never had a pet.

Bai Jinxi bit his lips and smiled at him: "I'll bring this cat back to raise. I heard Han You say that the kitten is very pitiful."

Jiang Lingchen's face was expressionless as he stared straight at her.

For the first time in a long time, he saw her smile. It was a smile of some kind. In fact, her smile was very pretty. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and her dark red lips were slightly curved, like a child's, sparkling.

Seeing that Jiang Lingchen's eyes were like a warning sign, and that her boss was in a state of mood, Han You stealthily sized Bai Jinxi up and saw the smile on her face gradually stiffen. In his heart, he sighed. Before he had gotten divorced, there were several times when he had seen Bai Jinxi playing with cats in the corner. When he smiled, his face was like a blossoming flower.

They were all chatting in the living room and agreed that they had seen a god.

Afterwards, the immortal stopped laughing, always being as careful as a child afraid of making mistakes.

That day, when the cat was sent away, he saw Bai Jinxi pulling onto the corner of boss's clothes, and didn't even dare to touch his hand, and timidly said: "My classmate is about to go abroad, I'll give the cat to her, and I'll never see her again. Let's keep the cat in the backyard, okay?"

The boss' expression was even colder than when he was facing them. His voice was like ice. "I don't want to repeat the same words a second time. If you can't bear to part with that cat, then get out with it!"

As for someone like Han You, who did not understand the emotions, he also understood the sorrowful expression on Aunt Xiao Bai's face back then. However, his boss did not notice it, because seemed to be the last person he looked at when he was speaking.

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate again, Han You hurriedly said, "That's right, this cat is rather pitiful. Since Aunt Xiao Bai likes to be brought back to raise, why not?"

Jiang Lingchen said in an indifferent tone, "Put the cat down and get out."

He just didn't want to give it to her, just watched the smile on her face being replaced by a bit of disappointment.

This cat was indeed his. He once saw a discarded kitten on the way home, so he casually caught it and threw it into his backyard. Indeed, he didn't give the cat any food. He let the kitten live and perish.

Han You struggled in his deathbed: "Give it to Aunt Xiao Bai." A fierce gaze swept over. He almost bit his tongue. He scratched his head and tactfully said, "I'll go drive over here." As he prayed in his heart for Aunt Xiao Bai's blessings, his feet slipped away swiftly.

Bai Jinxi was startled, he immediately walked to her and picked up the cat's ear, then casually threw it on the ground: "Let's go."

The kitten's ears were being pulled, and before it could even struggle, it was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Jiang Lingchen. With a 'meow', the little round body twirled a few times on the ground, and its round body stood up once again. It looked at the Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain, but did not dare to fight back against the tall opponent, and had no choice but to crawl back to Bai Jinxi's feet.

Bai Jinxi bent down sympathetically and opened his arms to pick the cat up again. He patted the cat's gray fur and heard her say softly: "Cat, do you like children?

The tone was light, like a cloud hanging in the sky. It was faintly transparent, and when the breeze blew, it gave off a comfortable feeling.

Jiang Lingchen could not help but frown. Auntie? At most, she was an older sister. If she didn't have any children, she would look like a minor!

The morning sunlight was not strong yet, so her face was gradually blushing, her eyelashes slightly trembled, and her eyes shone with a faint light. In a flash, her face that did not have a single bit of makeup on was completely transparent, like the color of lilies.

Jiang Lingchen reached his hands out to take back the cat in her arms. She hugged the cat in alarm and protested, "You don't love cats, but you don't know what cats like to eat."

Wasn't it just a fish? What's so good about cats eating fish?

He scoffed, "So what if you know? Buy it yourself and raise it. Put it down for me."

"The weather is so cold. If you don't give the cat food and shelter, it will die." He couldn't even take care of his own food, much less his cat.

Jiang Lingchen glanced at her indifferently, and said with a hint of threat in his voice, "Bai Jinxi, don't make me do it."

It was the same as she remembered. There were still obvious finger marks on her face, and her body was extremely sore. Her hands that were holding the cat trembled a little. She couldn't bear to look away, so she slowly let go of the cat.

Her appearance was similar to that of the injured cat. "The TV said that the temperature will decrease during this period of time. You have to pay attention to your diet and your body's warmth, otherwise you'll get sick. No one will take care of the cat …"

"Are you the only one who is human?"

"You don't know how to cook. Cats aren't used to eating outside."

He ignored her and turned around to leave. In a moment of desperation, Bai Jinxi stepped forward and pulled at the hem of his windbreaker, "Give me the kitten, you almost killed Little White last time …"

Lil 'White was the name of her cat. At that time, she even cried for a few days while staring at the cat in a daze. He didn't shake off her hand. "I'd love to."

She was slightly taken aback, but was dragged along by his body, holding tightly to the corner of his clothes. "Just this once, you gave it to me. "A cat doesn't recognize its home when it's young. If no one takes care of it, it will run away and lose it …"

He walked in big strides and left the yard in an instant. The cat ran after them and caught up with him.

Bai Jinxi looked at Mao'er, feeling reluctant to part with her, and said with a soft and sincere voice: "You don't like cats, you don't know how to take care of them, I will raise a good cat … …" Opening his innocent eyes, he quietly said: "Ling Chen …"

Jiang Lingchen's body stiffened, he did not stop and coldly said: "Shut up, if you make any more noise, I'll throw you and this annoying cat out together."
