Chapter 110 Those who know, know

The chubby orange kitten was as docile as a soft little dumpling in front of "Cat Master" Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu held Sanmao firmly in his hands and carefully measured its length.

Afterwards, he gently placed Sanmao back on the ground.

After landing, Sanmao first shook its round head in a daze, then slowly walked to the side with its short legs and lay down to lick its paws.

Zhang Yu straightened up, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

After a moment, he said thoughtfully, "You have gained some weight."

Bai Li led Zhang Yu to the place where the cat food was kept at home, sighed, and looked worried: "He ate diet food, but he's even fatter. Why is that?"

Zhang Yu bent down to carefully examine Sanmao's meals.

The bags of cat food were vacuum-sealed tightly and arranged neatly according to the date, with each bag containing a quantity that strictly adhered to the standards for a weight-loss diet.

He picked up several bags of cat food, carefully checked the ingredient list and production date, and gently squeezed the bags to feel the texture of the cat food. After checking, he found no problems.

Bai Li explained from the side, "They are all fed by dedicated staff, and no one at home gives Sanmao any extra food."

"That's strange, there's absolutely no problem with their diet."

Zhang Yu slowly stood up, pondered for a while, and then asked:

"Then only the external issues remain. Would it be convenient to give you a tour of the house?"

After receiving Bai Li's permission, Zhang Yu began to carefully look around the house.

Although he was very careful not to intrude on the owner's private space.

But he soon realized that he couldn't avoid it at all.

The traces of cohabitation are almost everywhere in the space. No matter where you go, you will be "attacked" by those ubiquitous little details.

Although he had just deduced that Jingye and Baili were living together, seeing these small details of their lives still made him feel a little strange.

In an inconspicuous corner, there is a rack specifically for hanging clothes, perfectly positioned so that you can reach it within arm's reach.

The shawl hanging above was soft and gentle, while a crisp, structured coat was placed close to it, the two being quite different in size and style.

It was clearly a men's coat and a women's shawl.

They were hung there side by side, making it hard for anyone not to see them.

Zhang Yu's gaze lingered on the two pieces of clothing for a moment, then he seemed to suddenly come to his senses and quickly looked away.

Clearly, that's where people grab their coats when they go out, and the backyard is just outside.

If the two of them want to take a stroll in the back garden to relax, and the temperature outside is a bit chilly, they can simply pick up these two garments and put them on, then walk side by side into that tranquil space.

Although the two garments were simply hanging there quietly, the visual effect was surprisingly "noisy".

Led by Bai Li, Zhang Yu arrived at the front gate.

There are photos hanging on the wall to the left of the front door.

It's even worse; they're not hiding anything at all.

Most of the photos feature Sanmao, curled up in a cute and endearing way, sometimes looking fierce, and sometimes alertly pricking up its ears. In various poses and angles, it's easy to see how much its owner loves it.

Among these numerous photos, portraits occupy a significant portion, with most of them featuring Bai Li.

It wasn't a selfie, but rather a third-person perspective of him taking a picture of Bai Li.

Or she smiles and looks directly at the camera;

Or she might be looking away with her arms crossed, her gaze leisurely drifting elsewhere, with the eaves of the house in the background and the magnificent purple glow of the sunset.

There are also those who sleep soundly with their eyes closed in the sunlight, their faces serene...

Only those who love cats will take photos of them at different times, capturing various actions and expressions.

The same principle applies to photographing people.

The person who took these photos of Shirai must have been driven by some deep emotion.

In Zhang Yu's view, these photos have silently expressed everything.

It's quite obvious who took the photos, not to mention that there's a particularly special photo in the very center of these pictures, which is arranged separately.

It was a photo of two people together.

Zhang Yu's gaze swept lightly across the photo, and he recognized the people in the photo as Jing Ye and Bai Li.

It's a photo of them standing side by side, both smiling gently, naturally and happily.

The background features shooting stars falling like fireworks, with streaks of brilliant light piercing the night sky, contrasting beautifully with the boundless, shimmering sea, creating a dreamlike and breathtaking scene.

The scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.

It's so beautiful it's almost blinding, so blinding that the whole photo is slightly blurry.

Zhang Yu's gaze lingered on the photograph for a long time, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

But for a moment, he couldn't quite explain what he was feeling.

Perhaps it was those small, ubiquitous details that made him unable to help but imagine the two of them living here. These images slightly exceeded his expectations, causing a ripple of indescribable emotion to stir within him.

When Bai Li, who was leading the way, saw that Zhang Yu hadn't followed, she turned around and realized that Zhang Yu was looking at the photos on the wall.

She stepped back and followed Zhang Yu's gaze to the wall.

This wall is usually decorated by Jingye, and Baili passes by it every time she leaves home.

It had always been there, and there was no need to look at it all the time, so she hadn't actually looked at it so carefully in a long time.

There seem to be more photos now; I guess they were all taken by Jingye.

However, upon closer inspection, Bai Li realized...

Sanmao has really gained a lot of weight!

These photos were taken by Bai Li when Sanmao was first found.

She mercilessly exposed her son's past: "These photos were taken just two months ago when he got home. He was quite well-proportioned then, but now he's a chubby little boy."

She thought Zhang Yu was looking at old photos of Sanmao, thinking how meticulous Zhang Yu was, even comparing them to the past. Little did she know, Zhang Yu wasn't actually looking at the cat at all.

Upon hearing Bai Li's words, a smile flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes. He did not explain, but instead took the opportunity to ask, "So it was filmed two months ago. I remember you said that Sanmao was found. Did he stay at home for two months after being found?"

Seeing Bai Li nod, Zhang Yu felt he was very close to the truth. He went straight to the courtyard and stopped by the pond.

The pond in front of me was just the right size, neither too big nor too small, with a depth that was neither too deep nor too shallow. The clear water shimmered under the sunlight.

This pond runs through the front and back yards.

The pond has an advanced water flow system that keeps the water active all day long, providing a good living environment for the creatures in the pond, where various kinds of small fish swim.

Upon seeing the pond, Zhang Yu already knew the answer in his heart.

However, he did not reveal the answer immediately. Instead, he went to several secluded corners in the front yard and eventually found a clue in a grove of trees.

There are few signs of maintenance here; the grass is lush and green, and the servants don't often step in to clean it.

At this time, several patches of baldness were visible on the grass.

Zhang Yu gently scraped away the surface soil, and as the soil was gradually removed, he saw several small fish bones inside.

Bai Li: ...

Case solved.

Without Zhang Yuming needing to say anything, seeing this pile of bones, the whole story was already clear.

Bai Li was both amused and exasperated.

This little guy Sanmao actually ate his colleagues from the pond, secretly giving himself an extra meal.

No wonder I'm still incredibly fat even though I'm strictly following the diet plan.

Bai Li suddenly remembered why she couldn't find Sanmao after searching for a long time yesterday, even when she tried to lure him with snacks. It turned out he was out eating something delicious.

After eating out, we still need to come back and have a proper meal on time.

If Sanmao wasn't fat, then who was?

Every pound of flesh it grows is not innocent; behind it lies the tragic story of colleagues being murdered.

Bai Li, carrying this unfortunate news, brought Zhang Yu to the reception room.

At this moment, a delicate and elegant aroma of tea filled the reception room.

Jingye, dressed in a plain-colored robe, had been waiting quietly in the reception room. Upon seeing Baili enter, she smiled and asked, "How did it go?"

Bai Li led Zhang Yu to the reception room and shared the unfortunate news.

"Jingye, have Ahe find someone to clean up all the small fish in the pond. We can't let Sanmao eat them anymore. I was wondering why there were fewer and fewer fish in the pond."

Jingye nodded slightly, picked up her teacup, and slowly rose. Her movements were composed as she softly replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

His voice was calm and composed, as if he could remain unperturbed no matter what happened.

Having said that, Jingye's slender fingers grasped the pure gold teapot, and with a slight tilt of the spout, she poured the already moistened tea into a cup of white jade with a precise and extremely smooth motion.

His movements were fluid and natural, as if they had been practiced countless times and had become an instinct. Then, he naturally handed the teacup, which was filled with the aroma of tea, to Bai Li, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

After doing all this, Jingye slowly turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu sitting on the other side.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression calm, and asked in a flat yet elusive tone, "May I have some black tea?"

Zhang Yu's keen eyes caught the subtle changes in Jing Ye's expression and the sense of detachment in her tone.

Having experienced all that had happened, Zhang Yu had come to understand something extraordinary about the meticulously planned details and the profound meanings hidden behind them.

There is still a world of difference between before and after enlightenment.

At this moment, Zhang Yu looked at Jing Ye again, his gaze now filled with a complexity he himself was unaware of.

Actually, those things are not difficult to discover at all. Anyone who pays attention will notice the various hidden meanings revealed in the details.

Jingye seems to be a person with strong social boundaries. Would she really let others notice her thoughts?

If this person wanted to hide, probably no one would be able to find him.

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat; it was something he had revealed on his own initiative, something he had deliberately shown to him.

He wasn't just showing it to himself; he was showing it to everyone.

I see……

Zhang Yu is no ordinary young man after all.

Almost instantly, he understood the trick.

Two deep and thoughtful people found themselves remarkably in sync on a certain dimension.

But for some reason, Zhang Yu suddenly had a strong premonition.

It seems that the relationship between Bai Li and Jing Ye is not as she thought.

If you already have it, why bother using code words?

His coded messages will ultimately be wasted today; he doesn't have those kinds of feelings for his boss.

Zhang Yu quickly composed himself, a perfectly timed smile appearing on his face as he politely extended both hands to accept the small cup of tea that Jing Ye offered.

The tea soup is a deep, bright red, like a pool of deep ruby, shimmering with a captivating luster under the light.

Zhang Yu took a symbolic sip. He rarely had the opportunity to drink tea, but that didn't mean he didn't know anything about it.

Upon first taste, a powerful and complex flavor unfolds in his mouth, rich and smooth, with a tranquil sandalwood aroma that is calm and lingering.

There is almost no bitterness or dullness; it seems that all the bitterness is hidden within.

An amazing taste.

A tea flavor I've never tasted before.

—Just for this cup of tea, today's trip has already been worthwhile.

Across from her, Bai Li didn't sense the slightest undercurrent in the room.

She finished her tea quickly.

Tea brewed in the still of the night is always delicious!

Seeing that Zhang Yu had also taken a sip of tea, he started the conversation.

Since Zhang Yu is already here, we might as well discuss his future career path with him.

"Are you willing to participate in 'Asking the Immortals'?" Bai Li asked directly.

Meanwhile, Jingye had already started brewing new tea.

Her hands moved nimbly among the tea utensils, each movement exuding maturity and elegance.

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard Bai Li's question, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Bai Li changed the subject so quickly that he didn't react in time.

After only a few seconds of thought, Zhang Yu made his decision: "I'm willing."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Li's eyes; she hadn't expected Zhang Yu to answer so quickly.

She prompted him earnestly:

So, she said seriously and solemnly, "The 'Asking Immortals' project needs to select suitable candidates through a public vote in the training camp, and even internal company employees are not exempt."

In other words, you also have to enter the training camp for closed training, and even after a long period of hard work, you may not necessarily get the opportunity to participate.

In other words, this will take up a lot of your time.

Actually, there's a script that's more suitable for you right now..."

Bai Li gave a brief explanation.

Zhang Yu was also very familiar with the author of the script, who was none other than Hu Xiaohui, the author of "My Bronze Cauldron Can Connect the Past and Present".

Unlike the previous web series, this time the script is to be adapted into a serious drama, focusing on romance and suspense, and there is a high probability that it will be adapted for local television.

Bai Li had read the original novel of the script; the plot was full of twists and turns, suspense, and had great selling points.

The production team is a highly reputable and experienced veteran in the industry, ensuring a very high standard and guarantee in film and television production.

Moreover, this time it was the production company that took the initiative to invite Zhang Yu to play the male lead in the drama. Presumably, the production company felt that Zhang Yu's image was particularly suitable for the role in Hu Xiaohui's script, hoping to recreate the glorious popularity of "My Bronze Cauldron Can Connect the Past and Present".

In conclusion, from all aspects, this is undoubtedly a choice that will not go wrong, and it can achieve results in a relatively short period of time.

From a time cost perspective, attending a training camp is indeed not very cost-effective.

After listening, Zhang Yu nodded slightly to indicate his confirmation, and then fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, his tone firm and sincere: "I choose 'Asking the Immortals'."

Zhang Yu recalled how Bai Li had unhesitatingly given him trust and support when he was still unknown, and this gratitude made him hesitate without hesitation.

Bai Li looked at Zhang Yu, a hint of surprise and emotion flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Now I also think you are very much like that character in Asking Immortals."

This is also the voice of a small group of fans.

The official website forum that the company built for live streaming has now expanded into many new business segments.

Now, the voting function for casting roles in "Asking Immortals" has also been moved to this website.

Below this section, some netizens left messages hoping that Zhang Yu could join the cast of "Asking the Immortals," and the calls for this were quite numerous.

One reason is that there is a character in "Asking Immortals" whose image is quite similar to Zhang Yu's.
