I Became My Childhood Friend’s Cat After I Died

Synopsis: Jiang Heng lived a carefree life until the age of eighteen, when he was suddenly told that he was the fake young master who had been switched at birth. The pampered young master of the Jiang family instantly became an orphan with no one to turn to. Before he could even recover from the news, a truck skidded out of control and overturned, crushing him to death on the spot. When he woke up again, he discovered that not only had he transmigrated four years into the future, he had also become a stray cat. A cat that had been weaned just over a month ago, was gravely ill, and could die at any moment. Jiang Heng stared at his own fluffy paws, utterly bewildered. “...” How was a kitty supposed to survive like this? With no survival skills whatsoever, Jiang Heng managed to get himself covered in grime and dirt. After reflecting on his plight, he decided to find some hapless human and con them into taking him in. So he snuck into the university he had applied to before he died. In the crowd, he spotted Lu Yichuan, his childhood friend who had grown up with him. The filthy little cat darted out of the bushes and bumped into Lu Yichuan's shoe, then flopped dramatically onto the ground. His intent to scam someone into helping him was obvious. Lu Yichuan had been about to leave, but when he saw the kitten's eyes, bright as stars, he paused. Slowly crouching down, he poked the kitten's forehead with a fingertip and asked in his usual gentle voice, “Do you want to come with me?” “Meow~” The ultimate meal ticket: secured! Lu Yichuan was a second-year graduate student in the philosophy department at A University, and the campus's acknowledged heartthrob. His reputation was so good it was almost unbelievable. He was gentle and courteous, always good-tempered with everyone. There was not a single fault to find in his words or behavior. Over the years, countless men and women had confessed to him, but he had never said yes to any of them. Someone asked what kind of person he liked. The man looked up at the sky. The sunlight was so dazzling it hurt his eyes. He smiled. “Someone like the sun, I suppose.” Sadly, his sun sank beneath the sea forever when he was twenty. From that moment on, not another ray of light could reach his world. Jiang Heng thought becoming Lu Yichuan's cat was the best decision he had ever made. The man never restricted his freedom. There was always plenty of cat food, and he could eat as many cans as he wanted. He could spend several days and nights roaming outside without anyone noticing. Then Lu Yichuan was suddenly hospitalized. When he woke up, he tied a red string around Jiang Heng's neck, and everything changed. The windows, usually left wide open, were shut tight. The man, who often stayed out all night, now spent nearly every hour of the day in the dormitory. When Jiang Heng felt cooped up, the man took him out for a walk. When the dormitory felt too small, the man moved with him to a huge villa... If Jiang Heng disappeared from Lu Yichuan's sight for more than ten minutes, the man could always find him with uncanny precision. He held Jiang Heng's favorite can of cat food, his eyes dark and inscrutable. “Rongrong, it's time to go home.” Jiang Heng: QAQ He didn't want to go back, but the man had his favorite cans!
