Why Doesn't the Cat Talk?

A purehearted, pampered, hot-tempered young master x a cool-faced, warmhearted, socially anxious woman

Younger male lead, short story. The male lead is a cat at first and a person later.

Song Zhiyan has a magical ability: she can understand cats.

Because she is expressionless and socially anxious, she has never had many human friends, but she has countless feline friends.

Then, during the summer break of her junior year, a stray orange cat appeared in her neighborhood. It groomed itself spotlessly every day and was pampered and haughty. The only problem was that Song Zhiyan couldn't understand the cat language it spoke.

But Song Zhiyan liked it. She was thrilled. It had been ages since she had tried to figure out what a cat was thinking, so she adopted the adorable orange kitty.

Who could have guessed that the orange cat would be as demanding as a young master, and so mischievous that it cost Song Zhiyan a fortune?

In the middle of the night, Song Zhiyan was woken by a strange noise. She sat up and found the orange cat in her room, scrolling through videos on her phone.

A voice came from the video: "What do cats' meows mean, and how can we learn to meow?"

Song Zhiyan and the orange cat stared at each other.

"...?"

Song Zhiyan pointed at the expenses in her memo and said coolly, "Fat Orange, when you make it big, you have to pay me back."

The orange cat glanced disdainfully at the zeros after the numbers.

One month later.

At the new student welcome ceremony, a super-rich freshman who had donated two libraries to A University wore a diamond ring and, blushing, slipped it onto Song Zhiyan's finger. "I'm paying you back."

That night, Song Zhiyan heard people spreading a rumor about her and the freshman.

"Hey, listen! The handsome senior surnamed Song in the biology department got proposed to by a rich kid from the business school!"

"I heard they'll get married once the rich kid turns twenty!"

Song Zhiyan: "..."

Song Zhiyan was so mortified she wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside.
