After I Learned to Understand Animals, I Was Recruited

The summer after the college entrance exams was destined to be extraordinary for Gong Qingqing. Outside the exam hall, the dads had formed the "Flag-Dad Alliance," dressing in qipao and putting on a goofy show of support. At a birthday party at a farm stay, she mischievously swapped the traditional outfits, giving her classmates an awkward taste of cross-dressing. Then, after she caught a chill and came down with a fever saving a kitten from drowning, she woke up with the "superpower" to understand animals.

At first, she whispered with the sparrows on her windowsill, chatted with the neighborhood strays and split a sausage with them, and even got "scolded" by her own cat through its purring for giving it too few treats. Later, she opened the pet shop she'd always wanted and became the animal world's "trusted big sister." She even "tamed" the stray cats and dogs at school, having them help teachers invigilate exams and cheer up students. They became a spectacular sight on campus.

By chance, she was recommended to Lu Chen, a police officer investigating a murder case that had reached a dead end. The only ones who had passed the crime scene were a stray dog and a sparrow. Turning into an "animal interpreter," she coaxed key clues out of the dog and sparrow, and from then on became a special consultant for the police station. On a trip to the zoo with her classmates, she heard a panda's cry for help and rescued the sick animal, which had been mistaken for acting cute. She even took on a job as the zoo's technical consultant.

Between the daily bustle of the pet shop and urgent requests from the police station and the zoo, college student Gong Qingqing's life is like a ball of yarn that animals keep batting around with their paws, full of unexpected adventures and warmth.
