"If you don't help me get my memories back, you'll have the same bad luck in your next life."
Every morning, the cat sat by the bed and said something infuriating.
On the day she was preparing to kill herself, Hao Yun, a thirty-year-old with a record of unpaid debts, found a talking cat.
The cat said, "I'm a person, not a cat."
It also said, "Someone killed me. You have to help me find the culprit."
Hao Yun thought it over for a few seconds, then kicked it out the door.
"The police station's the first left. Don't let the door hit you on your way out."
But when she turned around, the cat was back in the house, perfectly fine, chin held high and acting all self-important.
"You have a hundred days to find out my name. If you don't, you won't survive."
Hao Yun: "..."
Even a blind cat can stumble on a dead rat.
What a coincidence, huh?
-
The cat was hard to please.
It ate imported pigeon meat, read books in their original languages, and demanded that its living space be spotless. If Hao Yun failed, it scratched her.
The cat also had a terrible temper.
It was picky, sharp-tongued, and heartless, and only occasionally let Hao Yun stroke its back when it was in a good mood.
"Taking care of you is harder than taking care of my mom," Hao Yun said.
The cat gave her a critical once-over. "That means your mother has good taste."
What Hao Yun didn't mention was that her mother had been paralyzed for twenty years and couldn't care for herself.
Tsk, who are you comparing yourself to?
So Hao Yun worked odd jobs while investigating the cat's past. Then one day, she realized that the cat seemed to be her primary school classmate.
Song Jiayan, who used to smack her with a ruler whenever she accidentally crossed the line between their desks.
She rushed home, excited. "Song Jiayan! How did you turn into a cat?!"
The cat sat on its familiar spot by the bed. At the sound of her voice, it tilted its head to look over, fluffy fur framing its adorable eyes.
Then it jumped down and rubbed against Hao Yun's feet.
"Meow~~~~~"
The cat was still the same cat, but "he" was gone.
