(The outline is finished. I'm working hard to build up a backlog of chapters.)
Qiqi is a greedy little squirrel who diligently gathers nuts every day.
Her dream is to fill eighteen tree hollows with supplies and become the richest squirrel around!
But one day, Qiqi discovers that all the nuts she's stored are gone.
Every last one!
Qiqi: QAQ!
The food is gone! How is a squirrel supposed to live now?!
A greedy person, this mouse will find you.
Steal this mouse's food and you're done for. This mouse will find the branch it likes best and hang itself!

After tracking down her enemy, Xie Mu, Qiqi looks at the tall, handsome man and clenches her paws, silently swearing to make him pay dearly.
For this, Qiqi carefully devises three plans.
Plan A: Combat Squirrel.
Ambush Xie Mu on his usual route and wait for the perfect moment to throw nuts at him.
Beat him until he's black and blue.
Why is the man in front of her thanking this mouse?
Hmph! He thinks the nuts are a gift for him. How ungrateful!
Plan B: Gulping Squirrel.
While Xie Mu is away, drink all the expensive beverages he's been saving.
Make him regret it.
Why has the drink turned into alcohol?
Oh no! The tipsy little mouse wobbles and tumbles right into the man's broad palm.
Plan C: Rampaging Squirrel.
Sneak into Xie Mu's home and shred all his clothes!
Don't leave a single thing untouched.
Why are the clothes so soft and warm?
This mouse is tired. This mouse is sleepy. This mouse wants to sleep.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
When this mouse wakes up in bed, has she been caught again?

Xie Mu leaves the big city and settles in a peaceful, beautiful mountain forest to clear his mind.
There, he meets a little squirrel named Qiqi, with a round belly and a fluffy, cotton-candy tail. She stands on a branch, stamping her little feet at him nonstop.
At their first meeting, the little squirrel generously gives him a pile of nuts.
So cute. I want to take her home.
A few days later, he contentedly pokes the little squirrel sleeping peacefully in his arms.
One late night, the little squirrel kicks Xie Mu awake, whimpering as if she's in terrible pain. She rolls around in his arms, then rolls right inside his clothes.
The next moment, Xie Mu suddenly feels a weight on him. A fluffy head pokes out from his collar.
A naked young man straddles his lap, his smooth, pale arms pressed against Xie Mu's warm skin.
The young man is thrilled. His eyes curve as he smiles and says, "This mouse has finally turned into a human!"
Bonus scene
① Qiqi's revenge plan is in full swing. She makes a series of moves as fierce as a tiger, then looks back...
She got the wrong person!
Qiqi: QAQ!
The sky is falling!
A mouse must answer for what it does.
With a sense of responsibility, Qiqi knocks on Xie Mu's door, gathers her courage, goes inside, and apologizes to the man she's wronged.
Before long, Qiqi flings open the door and flees in a panic.
The beautiful young man leans against a tree trunk and touches his lips, swollen and red from being kissed.
Then the memory of being kissed until he could barely breathe flashes through his mind.
Qiqi: "!!!"
How could he do that to this mouse!

* I got hooked on watching videos. Little squirrels are so cute!
* This is kind of a companion story to the one about eating melon seeds! But the stories aren't very connected, and this is a standalone tale you can treat as an alternate timeline.
* Sweet story, sweet story, sweet story! The little squirrel will turn human later!
* The blurb is a work in progress. I'll use this cover for now and commission a separate one later.
