[Airheaded Kitten-Raising Caretaker Who Ends Up Being Cared For × Proud Kitten Who Says No but Means Yes]
[Blurb One]
A strange neighbor moved in next door to little Zhi Li's family. But that wasn't the point. The point was that he really liked the kid next door! Little Chi Yan was as arrogant as a kitten, going around haughtily huffing all day, but that didn't affect how much Zhi Li liked him.
Then one day, the little proud boy turned into a cat.
Little Zhi Li and the kitten stared at each other. "So you really are a cat!"
After that, little Chi Yan heard Zhi Li begging him almost every day to turn into a cat so he could pet him. It was so annoying.
One day, little Chi Yan heard Zhi Li arguing with someone.
"My kitten is the cutest!"
"Then why don't you bring it out and show us?"
"I... I'm not letting you see my kitten!"
Little Chi Yan hid in a corner, desperately suppressing the smile tugging at his lips. When he saw the other person leave, he stepped out of the shadows.
He thought: I'm just being cool! Stupid human! Fine, since you like me so much, I'll let you rub my head today, just this once.
[Blurb Two]
One day, Le Zhi Li brought a video and leaned over Chi Yan's desk. It showed a little cat wiggling its bottom.
He looked up at Chi Yan with pleading eyes. "Chi Yan, you can't let me lose to someone else."
Chi Yan's vision went dark. "I'm not wiggling!"
Years later, in the same room, they lay close together on the bed where they had slept side by side countless times as boys.
The man pinned him to the bed and looked at his flushed cheeks, one brow lifting. He leaned close to his ear, his voice deep and pleasant, his breathing uneven.
"Your turn."
