When Su Wanying rescued the injured silver cat, she just thought it was an extra roommate.
This cat was very strange. He would deliberately knock over her boyfriend's water glass when she was quarreling. He would put the hand warmer at her feet when she stayed up late to work on a manuscript. He would always stare at her with his ice-blue eyes, as if he could understand people's hearts.
Until she broke up with her boyfriend, leaving a large space in her life, and a librarian suddenly moved into the community.
The man's name was Shen Che. He had eyes exactly like a cat. He was familiar with the way and could find the snacks she had hidden. He knew her painting storage habits. He even showed up at the door in the evening with a thermos bucket when she casually said she wanted to eat wontons from Chengnan.
"Have we met?" Su Wanying couldn't help but ask.
Shen Che smiled and tapped his fingertips on the table. The rhythm coincided with the frequency of the cat stepping on its milk: "Maybe, in a place you don't know."
Later she discovered that this man was terribly afraid of dogs and would subconsciously hide behind her when frightened. He liked to bask in the sun and would curl up in the corner of the sofa to sleep all afternoon. Even when she scratched his chin, his Adam's apple would make a very light, cat-like purring sound.
One night when there was a power outage, he leaned closer by candlelight and his voice was as low as a sigh: "Actually, I have been observing you for a long time."
Su Wanying stared at the unhidden tuft of silver-gray fluff at the tip of his ear, and suddenly thought of the cat that always snored beside her pillow——
It turns out that some companionship has been with her for a long time in another form.
