A World of Black and White

[The title is tentative and may change]

Yuan Lu brought home a little stray she found downstairs, a tabby cat. It was very clingy, following her everywhere. It was sweet and obedient, with a cute, high-pitched meow. It couldn't have been more adorable.

But the good times didn't last. One day, she came home and found that the cat had somehow disappeared.

Yuan Lu searched every corner of the neighborhood. Days went by without any progress, and just when she'd given up hope, the little stray suddenly appeared in the hallway.

Overjoyed, she hurriedly scooped the cat up and brought it home.

It was still the same cat, but its personality seemed completely different.

It had become aloof and sharp-eyed, and sometimes even hissed at her impatiently.

Yuan Lu assumed it had suffered while it was away, so she took even better care of it and made it up to the cat twice over.

About ten days passed.

One day, she thought she heard a familiar high-pitched meow outside her door.

Yuan Lu opened it. A tabby cat was eagerly rubbing against her legs, begging for attention. T-two identical little strays!

The cat outside was halfway through its affectionate meowing when it suddenly locked eyes with the one inside. Its fur stood on end.

A cloud of white smoke burst up on the spot. Before it had even cleared, a tall, slender figure sprang up, pointing at the tabby across from him in furious embarrassment.

"Why are you here?! Damn it, you took over my place while I was gone!"

Yuan Lu looked up at the young man, who was half a head taller than her, utterly stunned.

Then the "cat" behind her spoke too, lazily saying, "I didn't take over anything. They invited me in."

"Sis." The young man grabbed her hand and first pointed angrily into the room. "That's an impostor!"

Then, aggrieved, he added, "I'm the real Xiao Li. Don't you remember? We ate at the same table and slept in the same bed."

Yuan Lu: "..."

She thought she needed a moment alone.
