Illustrator Jiang Xiaoxi felt guilty when drafting the "Theme of Home" - the old rented house was peeling and it was hard to prove to her mother that she was "living a bright and bright life". However, the landlord suddenly told her to move out within three days, and she and the orange cat Nuomi were about to live on the street.
In desperation, she came across information about shared housing in Tianrun Community: South-facing second bedroom, pets accepted, the landlord is Lu Chuan, a pediatrician, the rent is lower and it's only a five-minute walk away. After going to the appointment, she discovered that the community was a family building of the Children's Hospital, with a torn-off notice on the wall; in the elevator, the copper bell on Lu Chuan's key chain was similar to that of Nuomi, but it made no sound; in the room, there was an old easel belonging to "a painting friend who suddenly left", and the shared tenancy agreement also boldly marked "No entry into the master bedroom corridor after twelve o'clock at night."
Lu Chuan gave Nuomi a silent bell engraved with L&C. In the ward of the Children's Hospital in the distance, an orange cat with the same bell was looking at the sky. Suspicions about this "life-saving" shared house quietly spread.
