"Little Cloud, why do you smell like oranges?"
When Yin Huai was in the hospital, a little cat jumped in through the window.
A fierce, aloof... little orange cat.
Yin Huai was mildly allergic to cat fur and usually kept her distance from cats.
But that day, as if possessed, she adopted her.
And, inspired by her temperament, named her Little Cloud.
Later, Yin Huai discovered that the cat didn't just smell like oranges. She tasted like them, too.
How strange...
Weren't cats supposed to dislike the smell of citrus?
*
Yin Huai loved Little Cloud, because she always brought back memories of the past.
"Little Cloud, you remind me of a little friend of mine."
"She was just like you, always wearing a cold expression, but she loved the smell of oranges."
Gentle, refreshing, full of life.
Just like she was on the inside.
"We promised we'd go live in a big city together, but..."
She was gone.
Yin Huai didn't know why.
But... maybe it was because she couldn't stand having a sick friend.

Luo Yu was a little cat, but five years ago, she was human.
Five years ago, her older sister fell ill.
When a shooting star streaked across the sky, she made a wish.
The star answered her wish, appearing before her and asking:
Would you be willing to spend five years as a cat in exchange for your sister's health?
Luo Yu: When do I start?
The shooting star: You can start right now, but you mustn't tell her you've become a little cat.
Luo Yu would be a cat for five years.
If she could get her sister to recognize her within those five years, her sister would recover.
Otherwise, she would be a cat for the rest of her life, and after death, her soul would have to wander with the shooting star.
"Have you thought this through? It's been five years. She might not even remember you."
"She'll remember me."
The shooting star: You can take one thing with you. What would you like?
Luo Yu thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "My scent."
"She'll recognize me."
Theme: Be grateful, give others roses, and you'll keep their fragrance on your hands
