Gao Qing found a stray cat with amber eyes in a rainy alley.
It would sneak into her bed late at night and curl up into a tiny ball.
Until one night, a drenched young man knocked on her door, water dripping from his bangs. “Could you… share half your blanket with me?”
She recognized those one-of-a-kind amber eyes.
“Chen Yu?” she murmured, reading the name engraved on the silver tag around his neck.
He lowered his eyes in silent admission, the tips of his ears turning red. “Meow.”
Later, as ginkgo leaves fell all around them, his bright yellow hair brushed her cheek. “I didn’t turn into a cat.”
“I learned to be human for you.”
