Blurb:

[Bright, straightforward puppy-like girl x tsundere childhood friend x seemingly innocent but secretly calculating newcomer]

Xiang Wancheng was only helping a lost child out of kindness. How did she end up turning into a fluffy little animal?

The good news: She and her childhood friend transformed together.

The bad news: They were not only transported somewhere else, but lost all their belongings too.

After a brief spell of wandering with her childhood friend, they nearly get hit by an electric scooter, are chased by mischievous children, and get caught in a sudden downpour...

When one cat and one dog are exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, sprawled outside a convenience store, Xiang Wancheng's crush, Zhao Qingxun, appears with an umbrella.

*

Many things happen during their month-long cohabitation as human and animal.

Then one morning, it all comes to an end without warning.

After turning back into a human, Xiang Wancheng calmly assesses the situation, picks up the kitten childhood friend still asleep in bed, and quietly leaves her crush's home.

*

[The childhood friend's perspective]:

Jiang Zhiyu is Xiang Wancheng's childhood friend.

His childhood could be summed up in three words: Xiang Wancheng. He doesn't like how Xiang Wancheng does whatever she wants.

He thinks he dislikes her, but really he likes her without realizing it. He only notices when Xiang Wancheng's gaze keeps falling on someone else.

A strange feeling starts taking over his whole body, and an unfamiliar emotion takes root and sprouts deep in his heart.

An unexpected adventure makes it impossible for him to hide his feelings any longer. There's nowhere for his love to run.

*

Honestly, it's simple for Xiang Wancheng, who's always done whatever she wants, and for Zhao Qingxun, who's the same inside and out.

But for Jiang Zhiyu, it's so hard.

People who are used to saying the opposite of what they mean never learn to be honest.

Hiding his true feelings is the fortress he built for himself.

So all he wants is for the person he loves to be with the person she loves.

He only needs to bring them together again.

He hasn't done anything wrong.

So he brings Zhao Qingxun to Xiang Wancheng.

*"There couldn't be a better match than these three."

Raise a glass of ice-cold summer orange soda!

Wishing everyone a cool summer!
