After the Little Monster Was Taken In

An ongoing sweet, healing story, "Teacher, I Can Chat No Matter Where You Seat Me." The blurb is at the very end.

After eighteen years, the little monster Wu Huai finally does something brave: he escapes from the monster village.

Then a human finds him and takes him home.

This human is fierce, a lot like the monsters in the village, but somehow a little different.

The human speaks to him gruffly, yet gives him all the delicious food. The monsters in the village were not only mean to him, they also stole his meals.

The human frowns and complains that he's a handful, but then gives him everything he wants, all at once. The monsters in the village only cornered him and threatened him.

The human dislikes that he's a stutterer, yet snaps at anyone else who calls him one. The monsters in the village, on the other hand, tell every monster about his flaws.

After observing him carefully, Wu Huai decides this human is a good person.

The little monster had planned to stay at the human's home for a while, then move out once he had saved enough for rent.

But plans never keep up with change.

One day, he discovers that the monsters from his village have also come to the human world. They bully him as usual, but the human who took him home catches them.

The human says, "Little Stutterer, if someone bullies you, bully them back. Don't be scared. I'm here."

Oh no. He's a little bit smitten.

He suddenly realizes that the monsters' use of the name Little Stutterer disgusts him, but when this human says it, it makes him feel safe.

After that, Wu Huai falls harder and harder.

Though this human is just as gruff with him as the monsters in his village, Wu Huai can't help falling for him.

What moves Wu Huai is every word and action that shows how much the human cares for him, and the soft heart beneath that gruff exterior.

But Wu Huai doesn't dare reveal his feelings, because he's not only a monster, he's also a rat spirit, a creature people despise.

He doesn't steal, and he keeps himself very clean, but he's still unwelcome. After a life of being looked down on, he knows that people will hate a little rat spirit no matter what he does.

Until one day, his secret is exposed. He waits for the human to treat him like all the other monsters do, but instead the human says, "So what if you're a little rat spirit? Even if you are, you're my little rat spirit."

Xin Zhou goes to the hospital, and the doctor tells him he has a terminal illness and only three months to live.

On his way home, he picks up a little rat spirit.

After much hesitation, he decides to spend those three months raising the little rat spirit until he's plump and healthy, figuring it'll earn him some good karma.

In his final days, he arranges all his affairs. He entrusts his wall of sneakers to a friend, the little rat spirit to his parents, and his estate to the little rat spirit.

Just as he prepares to die in peace, the doctor tells him he was misdiagnosed.

WTF?

Can he still change his mind now?

Friend and parents: Not a chance.

Only the little rat spirit is silly enough to hold out what Xin Zhou left him, offering it back to him.

As if presenting him with his whole heart.

He ruffles the little rat spirit's hair irritably and says fiercely, "What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours."

Little rat spirit: Is something wrong with that?

P.S. Wu Huai has a career storyline. He's probably a variety show or documentary director, filming things he thinks are meaningful. Basically, he knows what it's like to be caught in the rain, so he wants to hold an umbrella for others.

P.P.S. There isn't much showbiz content.

Coming Soon: "Teacher, I Can Chat No Matter Where You Seat Me"

Shi Yue is the bane of countless teachers at No. 1 High School, a name that strikes fear into their hearts, for one reason: he talks too much.

No matter who he's seated next to, he can chat with them about anything and everything.

In the end, his homeroom teacher runs out of options and seats Shi Yue beside Luo Yu, who can't speak, thinking this will finally make Shi Yue behave.

Shi Yue says, "Teacher, you're too naive. I can chat no matter where you seat me. Look, I even got a mute to talk!"

Because of a congenital disability in his legs, Luo Yu has been gloomy and withdrawn since childhood. No one ever played with him, and he gradually lost the ability to speak.

He thought he would live this gloomy life until the day he died.

One day, after seeing through life and deciding nothing would ever change for him, he decides to die.

Before jumping off a building, someone sends him a game, and on a whim, he opens it.

He finds that the game's character illustration looks a lot like the chatty person who's recently been around him, and for some reason, he wants to try playing.

The game is crude, but Luo Yu gets absorbed in it. The game character runs with him, chatters with him, and takes him to eat candied hawthorn.

As he plays, he can't help thinking of his deskmate.

His deskmate also pushes his wheelchair and runs with him, chatters away with him, and brings him candied hawthorn.

Only later does he learn that the buggy game was made for him by his classmate.

The one who ran with him, chattered in his ear, and took him to eat candied hawthorn had always been the same person.

It was a game made just for him.
