After Xi Ta got into a car accident, she remembered her past life: she had been a cheetah born in a zoo.
In her life as a cheetah, she had a dog friend, a plain, honest little mutt. She would often bite him until he whimpered, and he would droop his ears and never fight back.
She even made a special trip to the zoo where she'd once lived. She discovered that after she died, her dog friend had stayed healthy for another five or six years before passing away of old age. When Xi Ta found out, she went berserk: Didn't we agree that you'd come with me when I died? Liar, you big liar!
Xi Ta was so angry because she knew that if her dog friend had died before her, she probably wouldn't have been able to go on living.
That wasn't fair!
Xi Ta gritted her teeth, but a little sadness welled up inside her.

Mu Ziquan works at a bookstore. She's honest and gentle, tall and slender. When no one speaks to her, she can stand quietly behind the register all day, like a mighty, unmoving tree.
She's also one of Xi Ta's ex-girlfriends, the victim of a drunken game of truth or dare: spin around ten times while pinching your nose, then confess your love to whoever you point at.
Mu Ziquan said yes, but just three months later, Xi Ta dumped her with one word: "Bored."
Years later, Mu Ziquan and Xi Ta met again at the bookstore. Xi Ta had just recovered her memories of her past life. She stared at Mu Ziquan for a long time, then the book in her hand suddenly fell to the floor.
There was no evidence at all, just a cheetah's instinct.
Xi Ta was convinced Mu Ziquan was her dog friend from her past life.
She pursued her relentlessly like a cheetah, while the dog friend in this life took three steps back every time they met, ignoring her or replying nonchalantly, "Hello, Miss Xi. Thank you, Miss Xi. No, thank you, Miss Xi. Goodbye, Miss Xi."
Her dog friend actually dared to give her the cold shoulder! Xi Ta was furious.
But she didn't know that every time Mu Ziquan spoke to her, she hid her trembling hands behind her back and lowered her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at her.
After Xi Ta left, Mu Ziquan would always touch her chest and say, still shaken, "I... I thought she was going to eat me."
