The cat spirit Yun Rong died and came back to life. When he awoke, his memories were gone, and all he could remember was that he had to repay a debt of gratitude. Following a familiar soul-scent, he slipped into a place called a university and finally found his benefactor.
After observing him, Yun Rong discovered that his benefactor was handsome and did well in school, but was also an unlucky guy who was always getting into dangerous situations. He also seemed pretty broke.
To repay his kindness, Yun Rong rescued him from trouble again and again. He even helped him set up a stall selling nail art, then secretly used the money to buy him gifts.
On the first day, a box of brand-new, unopened cans of cat food appeared outside Jin Xiaoning’s rental apartment.
On the second day, a pot of catnip, nearly stripped bare, appeared outside Jin Xiaoning’s rental apartment.
On the third day, a deluxe modular cat tree appeared outside Jin Xiaoning’s rental apartment.
Jin Xiaoning: ?
He installed a security camera by the door and discovered that every day, a sneaky little white cat with mismatched eyes was playing the role of a magical housekeeper.
He fell into deep thought.
The unregistered little cat had scrimped and saved to buy a battered secondhand phone. It could connect to the public square’s Wi-Fi, but apart from the System apps, there was only enough storage for one app to make money.
The little cat had an idea.
"I heard you can list anything for sale on Zhuanzhuan. So why can’t an adorable little cat like me put myself up for sale there? The money I earn can help my benefactor live better."
A few days later.
The little cat, dressed up in his true form on purpose, stood face-to-face with his benefactor at their agreed meeting place.
The man came to pick him up. He pressed his lips together slightly, then pulled Yun Rong into his arms. Yun Rong didn’t know whether to move or stay still.
The cat was stunned.
The cat was busy.
By day, he took human form to work and earn money, while worrying about his benefactor. At night, he turned back into a cat, snuggled up beside his sleeping benefactor, and changed his luck.
Jin Xiaoning nearly thought he was going crazy.
He woke from a nap to find the cat gone and a person in his bed.
That face was familiar. Just yesterday, it had smiled sweetly at him.
Now, with his eyes closed, the person was mumbling, "Master, I’m so tired. I don’t want to get up."
Jin Xiaoning blushed shamefully.
Yun Rong noticed that his master’s gaze was growing more and more dazed. He often stared at Yun Rong, then said things in a resentful tone that Yun Rong couldn’t understand.
The little cat silently curled into a ball and trembled.
He swore he would keep pretending to be a normal cat and never let his master find out that, behind the scenes, he was actually a cat spirit who could turn into a human!!!
Jin Xiaoning, who wasn’t actually an idiot, nodded along: Yes, I haven’t found out.
Then he ignored the snacks slowly floating down from the shelf without any outside help, turned his head away without a word, slowly closed his eyes, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Later, the man and cat no longer lived in a tiny rental apartment. They didn’t have to keep the lights turned way down, and his benefactor had a good life now. He no longer had to buy discounted food that was about to expire at the supermarket. Yun Rong was deeply proud.
His bad luck was gone, his obsession had faded, and it was time for him to bow out after completing his mission.
The little cat, who had "run away from home" for three days, was caught and brought back by his benefactor. Only then did he learn that his identity had been exposed long ago. Panicking, he clutched his benefactor’s finger and begged for forgiveness.
His benefactor’s fingertip curled around the little cat’s tail. "I won’t be angry if you take human form."
Yun Rong shuddered and nervously changed into human form, only to meet his benefactor’s eyes, where affection had turned into something else.
:-D
The cat lived a happy life and wasn’t busy at all.
But the cat was exhausted every day (
