[Blurb]
At twenty, a terrible year for her, Wen Shu met the greatest stroke of luck in her life: Xu Zhixia.
Their first meeting.
Xu Zhixia spotted Wen Shu, alone with her suitcase and standing on the roadside in a panic, as if the whole world had abandoned her and she had nowhere to go. Then she did something completely at odds with her cool-girl image... She walked up and struck up a conversation.
Xu Zhixia: “Hey, are you looking to rent a place?”
Scenting the sweet, rich aroma of cake coming from the other woman, Wen Shu nodded as if in a daze. “...Yes.”
This time, Wen Shu gained a cool-girl roommate with a warm heart: her landlady.
Living together.
Xu Zhixia gently soothed the clingy stray cat in her arms and asked her roommate, “Can I keep it?”
Wen Shu watched the adorable kitty nuzzle against Xu Zhixia with practiced ease, then tilt its head at her. Her fingers twitched, and she gave a reserved nod. “...Sure.”
This time, there was a clingy little cat at home that followed people around.
Falling in love.
Xu Zhixia gazed at Wen Shu with gentle affection and asked, “Xiaoshu, do you like me?”
Wen Shu’s heart raced before she could stop it. Wrapped in that familiar cake scent, she nodded, shy but resolute. “...I do. I like you!”
Wen Shu liked Xu Zhixia!
This time, Wen Shu had the best girlfriend in the world: her dearest landlady.
