Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1004: Discovered

Ji Ming picked up the paper box and looked at the doll bear on the fence, feeling oddly strange: "In such hot weather, aren’t you stifled wearing that?"

Kumamoto Bear ’glanced’ at him and then turned its head away.

...This bear is quite aloof. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Next to the paper box, there was also a big bag of cat supplies.

Calling a security guard for help, Ji Ming took the cat and entered the Tan Palace gates.

At the moment, Song Baiyan was still in the office.

After entering the main building, Ji Ming directly sent the cat back.

As if aware it was in an unfamiliar place, the small orange kitten kept mewing in the paper box.

Song Baiyan didn’t particularly like cats.

But since Tang Li sent it, he couldn’t just leave it alone.

"There’s a note here." Ji Ming found a piece of paper from the plastic bag containing cat supplies. It listed the precautions for raising a cat. After quickly browsing through it, he looked up at Song Baiyan: "It says this kitten is too young and hasn’t been vaccinated yet, so don’t keep it with Ah Xi and Tiger Whip for now."

Song Baiyan took the note and recognized Tang Li’s handwriting.

Ji Ming also found a note on the can of milk formula: "It says to use warm water to dissolve the formula, then use a syringe to feed the cat little by little."

After saying that, he flipped the plastic bag and indeed found the feeding syringe.

Even a thin blanket for the cat to sleep with was purchased.

The blanket felt excellent, and the embroidered strawberries were vividly lifelike.

"The cost of raising this cat is somewhat high," even the cat litter was imported.

Different from Ji Ming’s ’complaint,’ Song Baiyan just smiled and folded the note back into the bag: "Young girls usually like these cats and dogs, raising them delicately is fine."

So—

Is he planning to raise it according to the note?

Ji Ming put the milk formula can back on the coffee table and looked at the milk kitten in the paper box again. So small, it was lying on its side, yawning, with four tiny paws spread like ’flowers,’ somehow reminding him of Tang Li.

Maybe it truly rings true—the owner resembles their cat.

"Let’s have Aunt Min take care of it later."

After Song Baiyan finished instructing, he returned to the desk again.

—The cigarette in his hand had accumulated some ash.

A light shake, and it fell into the ashtray.

As he tapped the ash, he also noticed the office curtains hadn’t been drawn.

Song Baiyan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, with the cigarette between his fingers, ready to pull the curtains, first noticing the ’hulking figure’ on the iron fence outside.

It was a ’bear head’ resting on the fence.

At first glance, it appeared eerie.

Especially those eyes with more white than black, resembling grapes, seemed a bit creepy at night.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared clumsy and comical.

If you observe carefully, you’d find this bear wasn’t in a good mood, its demeanor lacking, exuding a sense of depression.

Just as he cast his gaze over, the other party also noticed him.

The next moment, this doll bear turned away.

As if embarrassed.

"Why is this bear still here?" Ji Ming’s surprise came from behind.

Song Baiyan turned his head towards the sound, his gaze landing on Ji Ming’s face: "Do you know this doll bear?"

"The cat was delivered by it." Ji Ming didn’t conceal: "It’s just that this bear doesn’t like dealing with people. I originally wanted to ask it a couple of questions, but it clung to the fence without even looking at me directly. Now it’s still here, probably wanting to know what Tan Palace is like, just like those tourists."

Song Baiyan looked towards the iron fence again.

Even after being noticed, the doll bear didn’t escape.

—Still clinging to the fence, but no longer facing this side.

"How about asking security to chase it away?" After all, this is the Head of State’s Mansion, having a Kumamoto Bear hanging at the front gate, even during the night, is bad for appearances.

Song Baiyan’s answer, however, was to have him call Yuan Qin.

...

One night, Tang Li did two foolish things.

Not only was her right foot stuck, but she also didn’t have her cellphone with her.

If she knew this would happen, she wouldn’t have minded tucking the cellphone on her leg while putting on the doll costume.

Ultimately, she was careless...

And missed the chance to ask Ji Ming for help.

Mostly because she felt embarrassed, couldn’t let go of her pride.

Both bear paws gripped the iron fence for ease, her big head also rested on top. Occasionally looking around to see if Yuan Qin had come looking for her.

During this time, she saw Song Baiyan’s figure appear at the office window.

Despite having a doll costume as disguise, sensing Song Baiyan’s gaze directed over here, she decisively turned around, leaving only a chubby black silhouette merging into the night.

Not knowing how long had passed, when she turned back again, she found no one at the office window.

She put her heavy head back on the fence, looked towards the brightly lit office, feeling a bit regretful.

When there were security personnel around earlier, she should have asked them to help her free her foot.
