Chapter 109 Cat Bug
The sunlight, like a golden veil, poured in through the window without reservation, casting warm yellow shadows on the rustic wooden floor.
Bai Li sat quietly at the dining table, elegantly finishing the last bite of her breakfast.
Just then, she suddenly felt a strange, furry sensation at her feet and lowered her head slightly.
What else could it be but the ever-elusive Sanmao?
A cat-like creature was purring softly, gently rubbing its head against its own leg. The movements were gentle and slow, and the soft fur caressed the white pear's leg with a warm touch unique to cats. Perhaps it was being affectionate, or perhaps it was trying to make amends for its "disappearance" yesterday.
Bai Li moved her foot away, pretending to be unmoved, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and she said in feigned anger, "You unfilial son! You come looking for me at this time?"
I went home yesterday. I hadn't seen Sanmao for a week and was looking forward to spending lots of time with him, but I couldn't find him at all. I almost thought Sanmao had gotten lost.
Fortunately, thanks to the real-time location signal worn around Sanmao's neck, Baili was able to confirm Sanmao's location at all times.
Sanmao's location is still at home, but it's unclear exactly where; the space upstairs and downstairs is too large.
Sigh, who understands the troubles of having a house that's too big?
Finding even a mischievous little cat is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I didn't even see a trace of him yesterday, but he came to me on his own today.
When Sanmao saw Baili move her legs away, she meowed and looked at Baili with puzzled eyes.
Seeing that she didn't react further, Sanmao cautiously approached again and continued to rub its chubby body against Baili's legs. Its tail also swayed gently, occasionally brushing against Baili's ankles, bringing a ticklish sensation.
Bai Li was completely charmed by this adorable and ingratiating gesture, and her temper vanished.
What did the cat do wrong? The cat just needs its own space occasionally.
Bai Li's tone softened:
"My son, it seems you still think of your mother. Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will reluctantly forgive you. Let me hug you!"
Just as Bai Li bent down to pick up Sanmao, Sanmao seemed to sense something, suddenly jumped up, and quickly ran away.
From Bai Li's perspective, Sanmao's four short, chubby legs looked like four cute little paws, struggling to support his round body as he ran with great speed.
With each step he took, his little body swayed, the flesh on his buttocks trembled gently, and his belly jiggled.
Bai Li's hand froze in mid-air.
He cursed inwardly again: What a rebellious son!
Sanmao kept looking back as he walked to see if Baili was catching up.
Seeing that Bai Li didn't chase after it, it stopped running and squatted in the sunlight, licking its fur as if it weren't the cat that had just been acting cute.
The warm light seemed to drape Sanmao in a golden veil, making her eyes appear to glow like golden beans.
Her little face was round and chubby, with slightly bulging cheeks, and a fluffy "scarf" around her neck.
When it lowers its head to lick its fur, the "scarf" appears even fluffier and softer.
Bai Li stared for a moment, then wondered: Why does Sanmao seem a little rounder?
Like a small, inflated ball, it was struggling to curl up and lick its back fur.
Because I'm too fat, I can't reach it no matter what.
Even the white pear looked at it and felt it was a lot of work.
I've been feeding it the diet meals Zhang Yu gave me, so why hasn't this little guy lost weight? In fact, he's gotten fatter.
That's outrageous!
Was Sanmao the legendary type who gained weight even from drinking water?
Bai Li tiptoed closer, squatted down, and gently called out, "Sanmao, come to me."
When Sanmao heard the call, she slowly raised her head, glanced at Bai Li with her round eyes, and ignored her.
Bai Li coaxed, "You'll get some snacks."
Although Sanmao is a cat, it is very familiar with and can handle any food-related keywords, such as snacks, canned food, freeze-dried food, etc.
A few seconds later, Sanmao lazily got up, took short steps, and wobbled toward Baili. With each step, her flesh jiggled.
When Sanmao came up to her, Baili reached out and gently stroked its head, her fingers sliding down its ears to its neck and then to its back.
Sanmao squinted comfortably, making gurgling sounds in his throat, as if to say, "Humans, if you touch me, you have to give me a treat. Money for goods!"
As Bai Li touched Sanmao, she checked how much weight he had: "You little glutton, you're already so fat, and you're still thinking about eating?"
As she spoke, Bai Li gently pinched Sanmao's round cheeks, feeling the plump texture coming from her fingertips.
Sanmao, however, didn't care at all. She stuck out her pink little tongue and licked Bai Li's fingers.
Jingye stood quietly to one side, without saying a word, just staring at the scene in a daze.
Bai Li half-squatted on the ground, the sunlight outlining the soft lines of her profile. Her hair shimmered faintly in the sunlight, and a few wisps of hair playfully fell on either side of her cheeks, swaying gently with her movements.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and doting affection, all of which were directed at Sanmao.
In that instant, time seemed to stand still.
This is a tranquil space composed of stunningly beautiful scenery.
Everything looked so warm, as if it had been infused with the warmth of life.
The house, which had been quiet for a week, was warmed up again by this person, and filled with the coziness of home.
The quiet night felt as if an invisible hand had gently struck my heart.
Although it was only a short week, Jingye felt as if she had been overwhelmed by a cold tide of longing after not seeing Baili.
But at this moment, everything has turned into a warm and cozy feeling.
Jingye's gaze gently fell on Baili, her heart filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, her eyes filled with deep affection and longing.
At this moment, Jingye deeply felt that the tranquility of life was no longer an unattainable luxury, but a real and tangible reality flowing before her eyes.
This is his other shore.
Life is perhaps made up of countless such moments.
In these moments, there are no thrilling grand narratives, no magnificent legendary adventures, only simple and pure emotional bonds.
In the stillness of the night, she sighed silently, thinking that perhaps a person's life is lived in these seemingly insignificant moments.
Perhaps they couldn't bear to go up and disturb them.
Or perhaps there's some other concern hidden in their hearts.
This scene seemed very close to him, so close that he could almost touch it; yet it was also very far away, as if separated by an invisible barrier.
It was as if taking that one step would plunge one into an unpredictable abyss.
So, Jingye simply stood there, savoring the peace within her heart at that moment.
On the other side, Bai Li shook her head helplessly and picked up Sanmao.
Sanmao nestled comfortably in Baili's arms and gently tugged at Baili's sleeve with her paw.
I finally got to hold the cat, albeit only because of the lure of treats.
Bai Li weighed the contents in her hand and became even more certain that Sanmao had gained weight.
She looked up at Jingye and said, "Jingye, come here quickly and take a look. Has Sanmao gained weight again? Have we been feeding Sanmao a diet for a long time? It's so strange."
Jingye was surprised that Baili would suddenly speak to him. Before he could even stop smiling, he finally shifted his gaze from Baili's beautiful face to Sanmao when they were very close.
Sanmao's round belly rose and fell with his breathing, like a small, inflated ball that might bounce up at any moment.
His face was bulging with two fleshy lumps, and his eyes were squeezed into two narrow slits, making him look quite comical.
Jingye nodded in agreement: "He has indeed gained quite a bit of weight."
Having gained Jingye's approval, Bai Li pretended to be angry and gently poked Sanmao's belly: "Did you hear that?"
Sanmao nonchalantly reached out and gently scratched Baili's hand, then flipped over and jumped away, stepping on Baili's hand.
By the time Bai Li wanted to chase after her, she had already run away in a flash and disappeared somewhere.
Jingye lowered her eyes, looking at Baili's profile, and continued to answer, "But the food is indeed prepared according to a weight loss diet."
That's strange.
White pear blossoms furrowed in sorrow.
She trusted that the NPC servants in her home wouldn't make a mistake with the dosage.
Bai Li couldn't think of any other possibilities for the time being, so she could only send another message to Zhang Yu for help.
Unexpectedly, shortly after the message was sent, Zhang Yu quickly replied: "Don't worry, let me take a look."
------------------------------------
When the generous cat cult leader, Teacher Zhang Yu, received Bai Li's text message, he had just finished a busy photo shoot.
Although he only played a supporting role in the series, it was a well-made, large-scale production focusing on the financial sector.
Many big names with profound experience and high reputation in the entertainment industry participated, making it highly anticipated from the preparation stage.
The team has a solid foundation and impeccable credentials.
If this drama airs smoothly, it will definitely stand out in the year-end awards.
The company successfully secured an audition opportunity for Zhang Yu for this script.
Zhang Yu herself is also quite capable. During the audition, she fully demonstrated her solid acting skills and deep understanding of the character, and successfully won the director's approval.
Although this supporting character doesn't have many scenes, he has quite a few scenes with other characters.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Yu gained a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from many senior figures in the industry.
In the entertainment industry, opportunities to act alongside veteran actors are extremely rare, and for a newcomer like Zhang Yu, it is even more precious.
During filming, Zhang Yu won high praise from almost all the veteran actors for his outstanding performance.
The resources that the company promised are being delivered one by one in an orderly manner.
In fact, since joining Bai Li's company, Zhang Yu's life has been like a clockwork mechanism, never stopping for a moment.
I had just successfully completed a business event when I had to rush back to the company for training.
Yesterday they were busy with auditions in Z city, and tomorrow they'll be heading to B city for intensive filming.
The resources provided by the company were so abundant that even a seasoned worker like Zhang Yu, with years of experience, felt a sense of exhaustion.
However, precisely because of this, although Zhang Yu is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, she has made a name for herself in a short period of time and has become a promising new star who has attracted much attention, thanks to her own efforts and the resources provided by her company.
Many well-known directors and producers have begun to take notice of this talented newcomer, and he has received more and more offers from them.
However, people are people, not machines.
Even when you are in the prime of your career, adequate rest is essential.
Zhang Yu did not request a break, but the company, out of consideration for the artist's health and sustainable development, forced him to take a vacation.
Coincidentally, when Bai Li contacted Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu happened to be on vacation.
In fact, Zhang Yu only needed to reply to Bai Li's request for help via text message and offer some advice.
But as soon as he received the news, he decided to go there in person without saying a word.
Zhang Yu takes Bai Li's affairs very seriously.
Perhaps Bai Li is not only the company's boss to him, but also someone he has always been grateful to.
More than half an hour later, a van slowly drove into Bai Li’s magnificent mansion area and came to a steady stop in the underground garage.
This was Zhang Yu's first time stepping into Bai Li's home.
Stepping into this mansion, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
The spacious and bright interior, along with the exquisite and luxurious decor, showcases exceptional taste and wealth in every detail.
However, he did not show much surprise.
After all, Bai Li's various "generous" actions in work and life had already given Zhang Yu a certain understanding of her economic strength.
In his view, given Bai Li's abilities and background, owning such a luxury house is perfectly reasonable and within his expectations.
However, when Zhang Yu walked into the house and saw Jing Ye standing to the side in her home clothes, he was still surprised.
Are Bai Li and Jing Ye living together?
This discovery came as a genuine surprise to Zhang Yu.
As a member of Day and Night Entertainment, Zhang Yu often runs into Jing Ye, the CEO, at the company.
When Bai Li is not frequently present at the company, Jing Ye will take over Bai Li's daily management duties.
In his mind, Bai Li and Jing Ye seemed to have a close relationship.
But he never expected that their relationship would become so close that they would live together.
Despite his inner surprise, Zhang Yu, with his rich social experience and mature emotional management skills, did not show it on his face. He quickly adjusted his state, put on a proper smile again, and politely greeted Jing Ye.
Jingye naturally knew Zhang Yu as well.
Among the company's many artists, Zhang Yu is undoubtedly the most promising rising star.
But Jingye preferred to see this rising star at the company or on the big screen, rather than at home.
Jingye inwardly rejected Zhang Yu's arrival.
The peaceful night, which I had just been enjoying, was unexpectedly shattered so quickly.
Jingye also suppressed her emotions, not showing them on her face, and responded politely with a faint smile.
Bai Li noticed the distance between the two and didn't think much of it.
Which company has employees and bosses who can become best friends?
She held up Sanmao, whom she had just managed to catch, in front of Zhang Yu: "Teacher Zhang Yu, this is my chubby son, Sanmao."
Sanmao: (〃'▽'〃)?
