My New Deskmate Was Picked Up

◎ A human girl who “hates” cats x a messenger from the feline world who saves his fellow cats ◎ A quiet girl who says one thing but means another x a bad-tempered “problem boy” ◎ Healing | Comforting | Sweet Romance | School Life When the students in Grade 11 were split into science and humanities classes, Xu Mian joined a new class and sat in the corner of the classroom. The next moment, Wen Jinnian, the student everyone at school agreed was impossible to deal with, sat down beside her. - Wen Jinnian was Xu Mian's deskmate. Apart from studying, her favorite thing to do each day was secretly observe Lu Jinnian's routine. The boy spent every day sleeping with his head on his desk. Xu Mian was genuinely curious how anyone could sleep so many hours a day. Unfortunately, Wen Jinnian didn't seem interested in talking to her, or Xu Mian would have asked him. Meanwhile, their classmates nervously watched, hoping Xu Mian wouldn't get on this big shot's bad side. - On her way home, Xu Mian was stopped by a kitten. It meowed at her nonstop. Its fur was filthy, and it looked pitiful. Xu Mian thought, So what? It's not like I can raise it. After staring at each other for a few seconds, she picked the kitten up. Fine, I guess I could raise it. After spending a few days together, Xu Mian realized her kitten was incredibly clever. It could carry a delivery slip to pick up parcels and immediately figure out what her family wanted. Even when doing homework, it could paw at the page and land on the right answer. Xu Mian joked, “You're not actually a person, are you? How do you understand everything I say?” It had just been a careless joke, but Xu Mian never imagined she would see with her own eyes the kitten she raised turn into... her deskmate?! Xu Mian stared in disbelief at the all-too-familiar face before her. “What species are you, exactly?” Wen Jinnian, injured while saving a cat, glanced at her weakly. “Can't you tell? I'm your cat.” Xu Mian x Wen Jinnian A few notes before reading: 1. This novel is also known as The Cat-Hating Girl Is Forced to Become a Cat Owner. 2. The heroine doesn't really hate cats.
