Shen Mian picked up a cat on a rainy night.
The black cat has a scar on his left ear and is so thin that his ribs are clearly defined. Her heart softened and she took it home and named it Mo Mo.
She never thought about what happened next.
It remembered every word she said casually, even those she had forgotten.
Then a naked man walked out of the closet. There is a scar on the left ear, exactly like Mo Mo.
After that, it was business as usual. Momo is still the same cat, and she is still the fresh graduate living alone. They communicated through the cabinet door, using the fewest words and delivering the most silence.
He didn't say where he came from, and she didn't ask any more questions.
Until a man named Zhou Yuanshan knocked on her door in the name of "community survey".
"That cat is no ordinary cat."
One word shattered the peace into pieces. Shen Mian found that her life had already been stared at by a clear pair of eyes.
Shen Mian didn't know who he was, where he came from, or why those people wanted to arrest him.
All she knew was this cat, and she wouldn't let anyone take it away.
One is a lonely human being forgotten by the whole world, and the other is an alien race that is not allowed to exist. They avoided all questioning and shared life in the rental house awkwardly and warmly until the outside world broke in.
Someone needs to take it back. Go back to a place that Shen Mian has never heard of and that she can never enter. And she discovered that her birth itself was a pawn in this tug of war.
We are each other's surprise and each other's choice.
