Not long after transferring to the criminal investigation squad, Chu Jianxing pulled three all-nighters in a row and developed a problem: she started hearing things.
A black cat perched on her desk and cursed her out: “Human! Your wife is pregnant. Are you going to do something about it?!”
Chu Jianxing: ...I'm single.
On her way home from work, the black cat dragged her all the way to an abandoned well, where she rescued a long-haired calico with a slightly rounded belly.
With no choice, Chu Jianxing brought the cat home, named her Xiaohua, and took good care of her.
A few months later, Xiaohua gave birth to three kittens, and Chu Jianxing's home became a cat kindergarten.
The sofa was shredded, the curtains turned into tassels, and the three kittens piled on top of each other to stomp on her face in the middle of the night.
Even more absurdly, ever since these “abnormal residents” moved in, one long-unsolved case after another at the city bureau started getting cracked.
All the cats in the city became her “informants.”
Chu Jianxing gazed at the line of cats crouched outside her window and fell into thought:
Am I a forensic pathologist, or a cat whisperer?
Until one day, Chu Jianxing had a dream.
In it, she pinned a woman with fluffy cat ears against the headboard, listening to her tearful, purring voice. When she woke, her ears burned and her heart pounded.
Later, Xiaohua and her three kittens mysteriously disappeared. Chu Jianxing searched for three days and couldn't find so much as a single cat hair.
Her mind in turmoil, she simply moved away.
Meanwhile, in the cat-people's territory thousands of miles away, the cat clan's princess excitedly rushed into the main hall:
“Father! Mother! I've found my destined partner! She saved me, so I gave myself to her... and even had her kittens!”
The Cat King and Queen were overjoyed. They immediately passed the throne to her, and at her coronation, cats came from all over to pay homage.
After the newly crowned queen finished dealing with all her affairs, she led her whole family back to the human world in a grand procession to find her wife.
Her wife had vanished, home and all.
The queen's amber eyes blazed with fury, and even the tip of her tail trembled.
“She dares to seduce me and then abandon me? Search every inch of the earth and find that heartless woman!”
One stormy night, three soaking wet, human-shaped toddlers burst through the doors of the city bureau.
They cried as they rushed at Chu Jianxing, clinging to her legs and shouting, “Mommy, we finally found you!”
Chu Jianxing's vision went dark. She reluctantly got a paternity test, then her vision went dark again, and she was completely bewildered.
Oh my god, when did I have three kids? And who's their mother?
That same night, a sleek, well-groomed calico climbed through her window and stared at her with amber, slit-pupiled eyes.
Chu Jianxing excitedly cried, “Xiaohua!”
The next second, she was greeted by a barrage of cat punches and fled with her head in her hands.
Xiaohua: “Meow meow meow!”
You heartless woman! This princess will scratch you to death!
