The Idol Group Pet Became A Final Boss! Chapter 44 - Xiang Li

Chapter 44 - Xiang Li

Qin Wanyan wanted to go off for another round, but she didn't know what had gotten into Yan Nai this time. He had hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he were under attack.

Just before hanging up, Qin Wanyan could hear the vague sounds of a satisfied burp...

At the same time.

Inside one of the country's research centers.

The research inst.i.tute had gathered top talents from various disciplines who were bustling about with their own tasks. The only time their lives intersected was probably in the cafeteria.

Xiang Li very seldom went to the cafeteria, since the Xiang family would always have a chef deliver meals to the door.

But today, the new chef had accidentally made a dish he hated, so Xiang Li did not touch it and headed for the cafeteria instead.

He was notorious among his colleagues in the research inst.i.tute for being indifferent and as someone who was not easy to get along with. The only person he had a good relations.h.i.+p with was the chubby guy from the laboratory next door.

"Brother Li, brother Li! Today, the braised pork and crab buns are delicious!" The chubby guy enthusiastically recommended the menu as soon as he saw him. As he ate, he was browsing the tablet on his desk. "I don't know what this mukbang streamer is called, but the crayfish she's making looks way too delicious..."

Xiang Li didn't have the habit of eating and playing with his phone, so he glanced over at random. His eyes stopped moving when he saw the screen.

It seemed to be an edited short video. The beautiful girl had tossed the wok a few times before placing the crayfish on a plate. The whole process took about ten minutes or so, but the chubby man had watched it several times on repeat already.

The soup was boiling hot, splas.h.i.+ng a bit on the back of the girl's fair hands. If one were to look closely, one might discover that the skin had somewhat reddened.

Being scalded when cooking was a common occurrence.

However, the s.p.a.ce between Xiang Li's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. .

He tapped the chubby man's shoulders. "Do you still have some of that special burn treatment ointment that your lab researched a while ago?"

"I do have some; but that ointment is very expensive, so I only kept one vial."

"Give it to me." Xiang Li's tone implied he wasn't taking no for an answer.

The chubby man was a bit reluctant. "Brother Li..."

"I'll supervise your experiments tonight." Xiang Li said without an expression.

"Ohohoho, it's settled then. Brother Li, I will go grab it now!"

The chubby man dropped his lunch and obediently ran off to grab the ointment. He then found Xiang Li as he was writing down an address on a sticky note.

The man was left handed, but right now he was using his right hand. His handwriting was nonetheless powerful and dynamic.

He saw that Xiang Li had written a string of text that seemed to be an address of a manor before crossing it out and replacing it with Xing Chen Entertainment's company headquarters.

The chubby man was curious. "Brother Li, who do you want to send this medicine to? Your family?"

Xiang Li responded in disgust. "An idiot." He paused, then added, "A big idiot giving to a little idiot."

The chubby man: ???

Yan Nai finished his rice noodles and compliantly went off to clean the dishes.

Xiang Yi had left a portion of fruit especially for him, as well as a freshly squeezed cup of strawberry yogurt.

The young boy suddenly seemed full of adrenaline. "Sister, I'll go cut wood right after this!"

Xiang Yi didn't care about the change in how he said her name and casually responded, "Then bring some gloves with you, don't hurt your hands."

She was about to contact her little uncle, Xiang Feng, when she heard a familiar voice, "Little Xiang Yi, your package has arrived. Come and sign for it!"

Yan Nai then discovered that Xiang Yi's calm expression had suddenly turned into a sweet smile as she opened up. "Little uncle!"

Xiang Feng arrived with several bags in haul, large and small. He pinched Xiang Yi's cheeks, which had recently gained some weight, and pulled out a thin kitten from his suit pocket.

"I just picked it up from the side of the road. He's a bit ugly, but he looks like Xiang Chen, so I want to take it back with me and raise it."

The kitten meowed excitedly as soon as it saw Xiang Yi, small paws waving frantically.

Xiang Yi was stunned and hesitantly called out a name. "Tong Tong?"
