Chapter 393: Jealousy
Su Rui was almost pissed off by this group of bad friends.
Fortunately, everyone did not forget the important things after laughing.
【@江麗麗: Has Xun San discussed with you what the arrangements will be after being selected? 】
【@苏锐: Xun San asked me to participate in the selection first to see how the princess treats me. If I am selected, I will gain the trust of the second princess. The next step is to send me poison or a weapon to assassinate the princess. 】
Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows. Is Xun San's plan so simple and crude? There are so many people who want to kill the princess. Some people must have tried to kill the princess' male favorites before, but they probably failed.
"Well, the princess is tired today, so let's end the selection here."
Sheng Yin's lazy voice in her ear, with a bit of fatigue and impatience, brought Jiang Lili back to her senses.
It was enough to have Su Rui, a wonderful man, today. Sheng Yin yawned and said to Jiang Lili, "You and Butler Liu should take the cat back to the cat room."
"I'm going to take a nap."
Jiang Lili agreed obediently. She had been standing here for nearly an hour, and her legs were numb from standing so much, not to mention that she was holding a heavy cat in her arms. However, today's show was really exciting.
When Jiang Lili and Butler Liu carried the cats back to the cat room, the cats were moving freely in the yard. Xin Che sat on the stone steps at the door of the cat room, holding up his chin and watching two kittens licking each other's fur.
The sun stretched his shadow very long, and the sunlight fell on him. His handsome and deep eyebrows were illuminated by the light, but there was a sense of loneliness and desolation in his eyes.
Jiang Lili's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly felt that she was not too kind. These little cats isolated Xin Che, and she also left him alone in the yard to watch the male pet selection.
However, Jiang Lili couldn't help laughing when she saw that the great God of War was bullied by a kitten.
Butler Liu put the big orange cat down from his arms and said, "Butler Jiang, I still have to deliver something to the bride chosen by the princess. I'll go first."
Before leaving, he reminded: "Manager Jiang, the ingredients you need to make cat food today have been prepared for you. The princess specially prepared a yard for you to make cat food. It is behind the cat room. It is not only convenient, but also has a large space. The ingredients are all placed in the yard."
Jiang Lili was delighted to hear the news. Great! This trip to the Princess's Mansion was not in vain. I got my first reward today! I'll continue to make more money tomorrow!
Jiang Lili hummed a song as she led the two kittens back to the yard. She was about to say hello to Xin Che, but Xin Che looked up and saw her, but spoke first: "Lili, you seem to be in a good mood."
"Wouldn't it be fun to watch the princess choose a male lover?"
Xin Che had a faint smile on his face and spoke in a casual tone, as if he was casually asking Jiang Lili if she had fun going out today.
Jiang Lili immediately put away the smile on her face and shook her head like a rattle: "It's not fun, but I'm exhausted. The whole time I was only concerned with taking care of these two cats, and also had to pay attention to whether Su Rui got into trouble."
Jiang Lili finished speaking very quickly and then looked at Xin Che's expression. Xin Che looked up at him with his dim eyes drooping at the corners. Jiang Lili seemed to be feeling a little nervous and uneasy. In order to hide her guilt, she reached out and pinched her arm which was sore from holding the cat.
Xin Che saw Jiang Lili pinching her arm. Although his expression was still gloomy and lonely, he had already stood up from the stone steps and wanted to pull Jiang Lili's hand and give her a massage.
But at this time, the cats in the yard saw Jiang Lili coming back, and they all swarmed towards Jiang Lili, rubbing against her feet and acting coquettishly, forming a cat circle that separated Xin Che.
Xin Che's expression, which was not very good to begin with, became even uglier at this moment. He picked up a kitten in each hand and put them somewhere else to play.
But as soon as these little guys were taken away, they squeezed in again when Xin Che was not paying attention.
More than ten cats gave Xin Che a huge headache. He drove the cats away with a helpless look on his face, and sometimes he really wanted to take Li Li and hide away.
"Hey, stop biting my skirt!"
"You can't eat this!"
Jiang Lili quickly squatted down and tried to comfort the kittens in a hurry.
She picked up the smallest kitten in the group. The kitten fell into her warm arms and immediately used its soft paw pads to step on Jiang Lili's body, purring with pleasure.
The kitten stared at Jiang Lili with its jewel-like eyes. The touch of its little paws was so soft that Jiang Lili's heart melted. She couldn't help but rub the kitten's face with her cheek.
The girl had curved eyebrows and her fair and pink face rubbed against the cat's soft fur. Xin Che witnessed this scene and his heart softened, and he was almost melted by the cuteness.
When the kitten saw Jiang Lili being intimate with it, it stuck out its pink tongue and licked Jiang Lili's face.
"Yeah, it's itchy."
Jiang Lili held it a little further away.
When the other kittens saw that Jiang Lili only favored this little kitten, they all meowed in dissatisfaction.
Kittens can also use their voices to act coquettishly. At this time, the meows they made were so sweet and long that Jiang Lili was confused.
But she couldn't pet all the cats. "Come one by one, come one by one..."
Jiang Lili took out a handful of cat snacks and asked Xin Che to scatter the snacks in different places. The gathered cats then dispersed a little. However, there were still three not-so-young kittens who were not interested in the snacks and were particularly clingy.
"Okay, okay. I'll carry you three into the house and play with you for a while."
Jiang Lili wanted to give one of the kittens to Xin Che and let him hold it for a while, but the kittens were afraid of Xin Che and simply shrank back into her arms and refused to come out.
"Let me do it. These three little guys are not heavy. I can carry them."
Jiang Lili saw that some cats were about to finish their snacks and turned their attention to her. She quickly picked up the three little cats and walked into the house.
She hurriedly told Xin Che: "Xin Che, go into the hall quickly and close the screen door. I'm exhausted from being bothered by these little guys. Don't let them in."
Xin Che looked at the busy Jiang Lili, thoughtfully. After entering the hall, he asked Jiang Lili for some catnip.
These cats were afraid of him and only wanted to get close to Li Li. Xin Che finally decided to let go of his reserve and actively lure these isolated cats to play with him.
He didn't want to make Li Li so tired, there was no other reason. Of course, he couldn't be jealous of the kitten.
After Xin Che got the catnip, he said to Jiang Lili, "Lili, I'm going to the side hall to get something."
The side hall is where the cat managers rest and change clothes.
Jiang Lili took some time out of her busy schedule to nod to Xin Che and said, "Go ahead, I'm here for you."
About a quarter of an hour later, Xin Che opened the screen door and came in.
Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che at the door and remembered that she hadn't talked to Xin Che much yet. She had just been coaxing the kitten, so she found a topic to share with Xin Che the interesting things that happened at the talent show today.
Jiang Lili stroked the cat's chin and said to Xin Che, "Let me tell you, Su Rui's performance today was amazing. He actually crushed catnip into powder and smeared it on himself, and deliberately let the cat rip his clothes to show off his abdominal muscles."
Xin Che had just closed the screen door and turned around, but when he heard this, his body froze and he stood still: "What happened next?"
"Were his clothes really torn by the cat?"
