[Cute, spoiled orange cat bottom x Tsundere, fatherly top]
Lele is a little orange-and-white cat, picked up and taken home by a man who looks like he has no idea how to care for small animals.
Because his body is so small, he can barely walk steadily and often tumbles over. When Lu Shengchi sees it, he laughs.
"From now on, your name is Lele."
As the number one meow in the cat world, having such a childish name is a terrible humiliation!
But if he doesn't win his owner's favor, he'll probably end up back on the streets. To keep his belly full and stay warm, Lele is willing to do whatever it takes!
But humans can't understand cat speech, so Lele has to turn into a human first!
But turning into a human is so hard TAT
Lele works hard at eating. He stops picking out only the freeze-dried treats from his cat food, and eats plenty of cat treats and fish oil too. In just half a year, he grows into a whole "vehicle" of an orange cat.
He'll turn human and flatter his owner!

Lu Shengchi recently noticed that lazy, gluttonous Lele had suddenly started roaming all over the house. His round body was impossible to miss.
One day, an orange cat ambled past his feet, two plump, big cherries dangling beneath its tail, as if trying hard to catch his eye.
Lele: "Look at me, Master!" He rolled over.
Lu Shengchi: A giant egg-shaped orange cat?
Lele lay on Lu Shengchi.
But the other man's hand shamelessly stroked his tail.
He gave those two plump, round cherries a naughty squeeze.
Lele's body stiffened at once. It felt so good he nearly passed out.
Spring arrives, and all things come back to life. Lele's happy days are about to begin.
He howls right on schedule at two every morning, but fails to find a mate.
For a household without a female cat, springtime is out of the question.
So Lu Shengchi has to pat Lele's butt for half an hour before bed every day.

On the day he planned to turn human, Lele made all the preparations and deliberately chose a day when his owner wouldn't be home.
Lele lay on the bed, about to become human.
Suddenly, a plume of smoke drifted in, and Lele's eyes flew open.
"Aaaah, Master! The house is on fire!!"
Wait, Lele was stunned. How could he talk?
"Aaaah, Master! I've turned human!"
Lele rushed out of the bedroom and saw flames coming from the microwave in the kitchen. He copied his owner's example, fetched a ladleful of water from the bathroom, and poured it on the fire.
This house would fall apart without its kitten!
Lu Shengchi came home from working overtime to the smell of something burning. The living room was a mess. Damn it, the house was on fire!
Where was Lele?!!!
He pushed open the bedroom door and froze. A ridiculously handsome man stood at the doorway, wearing his shirt, with a pair of bare legs swaying beneath it.
When Lele saw him return, his eyes lit up. "Master! You're back!"
Lu Shengchi: "Who the hell are you, man? Where's my giant egg-shaped orange cat?!!"
"Where's my cat!!"
