Chapter 548: Where Did She Get So Many Props?

(The monthly-ticket extra can't have illustrations inserted; this image connects to today's monthly-ticket extra, and the normal chapter text follows.) —

Although he was thinking some lewd thoughts in his head, striking the pose of someone about to make a cameo as a bad guy.

But Bai Liang's movements were still pretty quick.

What if Dou Xiao Tian really accidentally did something stupid and choked herself while playing by herself?

Some things can't always be thought through with the little head; occasionally one has to use the big head too. His super-brain wasn't just for show either—Bai Liang did happen to know a thing or two about first aid.

In his anxious rush to get there, the moment Bai Liang stepped out of his door, he found the elevator was stopped right on his floor—no waiting at all.

On the way down, no neighbor or anything pressed the elevator button midway.

When he ran all the way through the underground garage to Li Yitong's floor, the elevator happened to be stopped at basement level one.

Luck, performing steadily.

When he reached the door, Bai Liang didn't bother with anything like knocking—he just pulled out his key and swiftly opened the door and went in.

But this time he didn't see Dou Xiao Tian in the living room; while casually closing the door, he headed straight for the master bedroom and pushed the door open to look.

Dou Xiao Tian had indeed been "choked," just not quite the way Bai Liang had imagined.

She wasn't being choked by the collar around her neck—she was choking herself with her own hands.

Right—both hands gripping her neck, currently putting in effort~

Very focused, seemingly not even hearing the sound of the door opening and closing.

Seeing this scene, Bai Liang was actually relieved.

And after being relieved, a slight smile appeared on his face as he began to secretly observe from the shadows.

His mischievous streak was kicking in~

He really wanted to see what this little girl was planning.

The trick seemed pretty deep-layered; it must have been the work of that evil little kitty, Li Yitong.

In Bai Liang's mind she was basically synonymous with the shadow of a wok—any mischief by someone around him, his first reaction was to associate it with her.

Dou Xiao Tian, being the closest to her, would just instinctively blame her without thinking—guaranteed to be right.

At this moment the master bedroom seemed to still have a faint smell of alcohol. Bai Liang observed covertly from the doorway and found that Dou Xiao Tian had opened a bottle of champagne and apparently drunk quite a bit.

Collars, choking herself, and drinking—her operations were basically not far from the alphabet mafia at this point.

When Bai Liang came by in the afternoon, the collar was chained to a rope; this time there wasn't one.

But it wasn't that Dou Xiao Tian had "learned better"—it was actually worse: the rope had become a thin chain that seemed to have some weight to it, genuinely metallic in texture.

One could only say, as expected of someone who hung around with the evil little kitty—she'd gone bad in one smooth slide.

Where on earth did she get so many props?

By this point, Bai Liang had already been about to speak up and alert her, but at this moment Dou Xiao Tian, who was facing sideways to him, after choking herself for a while, seemed to actually be getting a little off—her small hand disappeared from Bai Liang's line of sight, hidden by her skirt.

Seeing this, Bai Liang felt it was best for him not to go in.

It would likely startle the Miss into a panic response—she probably hadn't expected him to come this quickly.

And what she was doing right now was basically... preheating the dishes?

To avoid disturbing the little chef's work, Bai Liang decided to back off for now.

Presumably Dou Xiao Tian wouldn't really be so lost in it as to enter a state of forgetting heaven and earth.

At this point, Bai Liang had actually overlooked one thing.

He hadn't replied to Dou Xiao Tian's message.

After Dou Xiao Tian sent him a message saying something about being choked, although Bai Liang was internally going "the bad guy is coming~," he had still immediately set out and rushed over.

So from Dou Xiao Tian's own perspective, she didn't know whether he was coming or not.

After all, that message she sent was indeed a little too direct.

What does "got choked again" mean? If read a bit more crudely, it could even be translated as "Brother, I'm horny."

If not read so crudely, it basically means I want you to come over.

And Bai Liang hadn't replied, so whether he was actually coming or not was still uncertain.

There was even a little bit of dejection in her big eyes—why isn't he replying to my messages?

This seems a bit different from what Sister Tongtong said!

So she simply closed her eyes and directly entered a state of forgetting heaven and earth!

"Little Treasure, you dummy, don't meow!" Bai Liang lightly patted Little Treasure's head.

This "rebellious child" was really too clingy—he'd only put it on the sofa for a few minutes and the little thing was already trying to burrow into his arms.

If he didn't let it burrow, it would pitifully meow there.

It's all because of Na Zha spoiling it!

And when Little Treasure finally got its wish and successfully arrived in the familiar embrace, it suddenly twitched its little nose.

Hey~ Little Treasure caught a whiff of a familiar scent.

A cat's sense of smell is far stronger than a human's!

And Little Treasure was especially sensitive to this kind of scent!

After all, although Little Treasure looked silly and cute, it was actually a pretty clever little kitty—unlike Na Zha in this regard.

So it learned from experience.

Generally speaking, some things only needed to trip it up once or twice for it to remember.

Like before, when Na Zha and Bai Liang were being clingy together doing things, it curiously came over to peek, and then was forced to get its head washed.

After getting its head washed twice, Little Treasure would smell that scent and hide!

The scent it smelled this time was a bit different, but clever Little Treasure figured it was about the same!

So it wanted to hide again—what if it got its head washed again? It really hated water, even though it behaved very obediently during baths.

After noticing Little Treasure's strange reaction, Bai Liang didn't hold onto the little thing and directly let go, and then this furball jumped to the ground and, at an extremely fast speed, whooshed out of Bai Liang's sight in an instant.

At this moment, Bai Liang turned his head again to look toward the bedroom.

Because at this moment, all sorts of "chaotic" sounds were coming from the bedroom.

Bai Liang even heard a "thud"!

Obviously, she had fallen to the ground.

"Little Watermelon~"

In order not to make the child too embarrassed, Bai Liang didn't rush over, but called out first.

The sounds of pained gasps and sharp intakes of breath from falling off the bed in the room disappeared; after several seconds of silence, she hesitantly responded to the code:

"Here~"

Only then did Bai Liang walk over and push open the door, seeing Dou Xiao Tian still sprawled on the ground, and quickly reached out to help her up.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

"Should be fine."

Dou Xiao Tian rubbed her own knee, looked down at it — it was a bit bruised red.

But it probably wasn't anything serious, after all she had only fallen off the bed.

And once the pain passed, another feeling that made her even more uncomfortable gradually began to take the upper hand.

She needed to use the bathroom, and even more wanted to take a shower.

And also — she had dirtied Sister Tongtong's bed.

Bai Liang actually knew what Dou Xiao Tian was thinking, and figured it wasn't strange at all.
