That summer, Bei Du had the worst luck.
He went from the esteemed young master of the Bei family to an abandoned little kitten.
Why use the measure word "one" for a kitten? Because the little kitten couldn't stand steadily or walk properly. He'd take one step and tumble three times, though luckily he rolled pretty fast.
As a human, he was charming. As a cat, he was determined to be charming too, and even planned to pursue a romance across species. His owner was powerful and influential, with a peculiar temper. Rumor had it he was completely uninterested in sex. Bei Du didn't believe it. He shook out his fur, licked his paws, and showed his belly, finally charming his owner into submission with his little cat paws.
But he didn't know that he was a cat when awake and turned into a human when asleep.
Lu Zhaohe brought a cat home, and a little rascal showed up and refused to leave. Spoiled and difficult to please, it demanded food, drink, and someone to play with. It scratched at the bathroom door during baths and burrowed into the bedcovers to sleep. A real little tyrant. It took advantage of being a cat to shamelessly flirt and get handsy. But just a few days after it came home... Lu Zhaohe woke in the middle of the night to find a beautiful young man in his arms. The little kitten had turned into a human! So whenever the kitten found a sunny spot, he had to keep a constant eye on it, and when it fell asleep, he had to hurry and carry it away ^_^ Then he could watch it with an inscrutable expression as it meowed and flirted recklessly, practically asking for trouble.
This novel is also titled "Meow, Here I Come." A sweet bedtime story.
