Chapter 18 - The Old White of the Newspaper

After staying at Xi Baichen's house for two hours, Mi Li felt a bit dazed. Through her cat's eyes, she vaguely saw a colorful ribbon composed of light and shadow, with strands leading her towards the other end.

Mi Li walked over in a daze, her figure gradually fading away, and finally disappeared behind the door. When Xi Baichen came out of the kitchen, he found that Mi Li was not on the sofa. He searched everywhere but to no avail, knowing that she had left again.

His fingertips seemed to still have a warm touch, making him unconsciously caress them a few times. Xi Baichen walked into the bedroom and took out a box from the cabinet.

Opening the box, he took out the items one by one, which were all pet supplies that his cat had used before, including tableware, scratching boards, cat beds, grooming supplies, and various small toys.

Xi Baichen cleaned them up and neatly placed them near the balcony, looking forward to Xiaomi coming over again in the form of a cat, letting her know that she has a home here and they may be able to live together in the future.

Mi Li opened her eyes and turned to see Xiaobai sleeping next to her pillow. She couldn't help but reach out and touch its head.

Xiaobai rubbed against the pillow and woke up groggily, giving a soft meow to Mi Li.

"Why did you run onto the bed? Is the cat bed I prepared for you uncomfortable?" Mi Li picked it up and checked its body. She didn't find any problems before finally feeling relieved.

"Alright, you can play by yourself first, and I'll go cook." She plans to develop new dishes today and also do a live broadcast for her family's novices.

She was able to attach herself to Xiaobai and travel with it this time, probably because she was very close to Xiaobai. According to this logic, can the package she sent to Xi Baichen also be delivered without going through a courier company, as long as she sleeps with it?

Mi Li has decided to give it a try tonight.

Playing around in the afternoon, it was already dinner time before she knew it.

Mi Li fed the little white and then lay on the bed with it and a package containing toys.

After more than ten minutes, she gradually fell asleep, but this time she didn't travel through time and didn't dream of dawn all night.

Mi Li sat on the bed, looking at her alarm clock with a somewhat confused expression.

She slept for over ten hours without wearing it once during that time.

"Oh no!" Old Bai and the others were still waiting for her to cook dinner, but she overslept even for breakfast the next day and didn't know if they had eaten properly.

They certainly didn't eat well.

Xi Baichen had been waiting for Xiaomi until 8 pm, when the little group was so hungry that they were all croaking. He then took them out for a meal.

He wandered around the house at night and didn't find any ghostly presence of Xiaomi. Xi Baichen's mood was very unhappy, and his gaze towards Xiaotuanzi became unfriendly, as if he had returned to the same way he had been with her on the first day.

The next morning, Xiaomi still did not appear. Xi Baichen cooked three bowls of noodle paste and ate it until the little dumpling was in excruciating pain. At lunch, he ordered three tenths of takeout, at least he didn't bother Little Tuanzi's stomach anymore.

"When will you go home?" Xi Baichen asked coldly.

"Grandpa asked us to stay here for half a month," Xi Nuoqi counted with his fingers, "about ten days left."

"If you don't want to suffer, it's best to have him come and pick you up as soon as possible." Xi Baichen tidied up the garbage and got up to walk towards the room.

"Uncle, aren't we going for a walk today?" Xi Keran looked at his back with anticipation.

"There's no time, you guys can play by yourselves," Xi Baichen slammed the door shut and threw the two small balls into the living room.

He had no experience or interest in taking care of children in the first place. If it weren't for Xiaomi, he would have sent them away long ago.

Turning on the computer, Xi Baichen took out the cigarette case from the drawer and was about to order one when he paused. He remembered that he hadn't smoked much in the past few days and was playing with the cigarette between his fingers. Finally, he put it back into the cigarette case.

Accustomed to Xiaomi's presence, he suddenly lost her trace and felt extremely anxious.

What made him even more panicked was that he didn't know where Xiaomi had gone? Did an accident happen? Will it happen again in the future? He can't do anything but wait foolishly.

Xi Baichen's face was gloomy, and his fingers danced on the keyboard. The heart wrenching and repetitive text was quickly generated in the document. A novel of tens of thousands of words was completed overnight and uploaded online without deletion or deletion.

He is in a bad mood, so don't expect others to be in a good mood either. Anyway, he didn't use his real pen name, and it was published for free, no matter how readers curse. The more fiercely he curses, the more it can inspire his newspaper.

The pen name Rainbow fart is also considered a powerful force in the online literature circle, but his fame is notorious. He specializes in writing about sadomasochistic themes, and his writing is particularly good. His character portrayal is vivid, and even though it is a melodramatic plot, after his processing, it is as brilliant as a lotus flower, making people unable to stop watching it. He has been tortured to the point of being heartbroken, and is simply a devil!

"Please, the rainbow is so big. Can we change the theme next time???"

"Da Da, do you have to write this devilish plot in the style of a fairy?!"

"Da Da, are you experiencing difficulties in life, disappointment in love, and failure in your career!"

"Da Da, I advise you to be kind."

"I ordered 300 blades today, all of which will be given to Da Da. Please accept them with a smile."

"If I read your articles in the future, I'll just eat the keyboard."

"Upstairs, you also said this sentence in another article. Is your keyboard okay?"

"Negative distribution, eternal black does not explain."

Looking at the comment section filled with blood and gore, Xi Baichen sneered and set it aside. With a flick of his finger, he added a few thousand words to the ending, where the female protagonist lost her soul in a foreign land, with one body and two lives; The male protagonist is blind and disabled, living a lonely life.

The hatred of readers has been pushed to its peak, the comment section has completely collapsed, a wave of personal attacks has followed one after another, and administrators have been so weak in deleting comments.

Xi Baichen coldly closed the webpage, holding an unlit cigarette, and looked out the window deeply.

After three days without crossing, Mi Li had two speculations in her mind. One was that she had lost her ability to cross, and the other was that she was possessed by a living creature, which consumed too much energy and needed to rest for a period of time.

Although Mi Li has been worried before, she doesn't want to lose this ability now. Not only because of Old Bai, but also because she witnessed the existence of another world. This wonderful experience added a lot of color to her ordinary life.

"Qinqin, I have recently developed several new dishes. Would you like to come and taste them?" Mi Li called her friend Zhong Qin.

"Willing to do so, when?" Zhong Qin showed great enthusiasm.

"How about this noon?" Mi Li paused for a moment and said, "Is your brother free? He gave me a bottle of perfume last time, and I haven't thanked him well."

"Oh~So your target is my brother."

"Don't guess randomly, I also invited other friends."

"My brother is so handsome, you're not interested at all?"

"Um... I'm not really interested in dating, let's just go with the flow," Mi Li's mind involuntarily flashed with a figure of someone, but she didn't think deeply about it.

"Okay, let me ask my brother and I'll contact you later."

Hanging up the phone, Mi Li invited a few more friends, most of whom gladly accepted the appointment. Mi Li's cooking skills are outstanding, and she rarely holds dinner parties at home. Now that they have a rare opportunity to eat, they naturally cannot miss it.

Around noon, friends came to visit one after another, and the house suddenly became lively.

Mi Li was worried that Xiaobai would be disturbed, so she temporarily locked it in the bedroom.

Zhong Yu visited Mi Li's house for the first time and calmly surveyed his surroundings. The windows were bright and clean, and the home decoration was tidy. The living room and window sills were filled with vibrant green plants and flowers, combining modern style with classical charm, both elegant and tasteful. It can be seen that Mi Li is a person who attaches great importance to the quality of life, with a comfortable environment and skilled hands.

Her friends, Zhong Yu has also carefully observed, all have good personalities and get along very easily.

The food is ready and the guests sit down one after another.

"Don't be polite, let's eat," Mi Li warmly greeted.

Zhong Yu tasted a piece of meat, which was soft and juicy with oil sauce, very delicious.

He looked at Mi Li with emotion, and his fondness for her increased to another level.

He was hesitant at first, but now he has finally made up his mind. He doesn't want to miss this girl and hopes she can become his girlfriend.

The atmosphere at the dining table was very lively, and everyone praised the craftsmanship of Mi Li, especially the few new dishes that were snatched up by everyone.

Mi Li likes to watch others taste the food she makes, and that satisfied expression is the best reward for her labor.

Everyone ate and drank their fill, and bid farewell one after another. Zhong Yu did not linger and left Qingwei Home with his sister.

"Xiaoqin, I remember you said before that Mi Li likes to exercise," Zhong Yu started the engine and asked casually.

"Yeah," Zhong Qin replied, "she runs every day and goes to the gym three times a week."

"Feilai Si Fitness Club?"

"Mmm." Zhong Qin gave him a strange glance, then stretched out his tone and said, "Oh, I see. You care about her."

"Hmm." Zhong Yu didn't hide anything either.

"Hahaha, that's great," Zhong Qin clapped her hands and said happily, "Brother, come on, whether you can catch up with Xiaomi or not depends on your ability."

"Okay, let's start with the gym," Zhong Yu looked ahead, the lights shining brightly in his eyes.

Mi Li cleaned up the living room, took a shower in the bathroom, put on a comfortable home outfit, and watched a movie with Xiaobai holding an iPad.

Looking at it, weariness surged up, and she lazily leaned against the head of the bed, but after a moment, she fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, consciousness floated again.

In the bedroom, Xi Baichen was lying on the bed, with his hands resting behind his head and his eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

A cool breeze seemed to sweep across his forehead as he slowly opened his eyes. In the hazy vision, a faint shadow appeared, drifting and unreal.

He looked intently, but the faint shadow disappeared again.

"Are you dizzy?" Xi Baichen sat up, moved the overturned note taking method to the side, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual.

"Uncle, we're hungry. When are we going to eat?" Came the sound of banging the door outside.

"There's instant noodles in the kitchen, you can make them yourselves!" Xi Baichen impatiently replied, turning over to get out of bed, as if stepping on something.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise rang out, and then a black figure jumped out from under his feet.

Xi Baichen's eyes lit up suddenly, his heart involuntarily accelerated, and a hint of surprise appeared on his eyebrows.
