After six in the morning, breakfast stalls and small shops were opening one by one along the street. The truant duo—a human and a cat—drew curious stares from passersby.

Lin Jin scrubbed her little paws furiously. That smelly man had licked her; she felt unclean... Sob sob sob... Yeah, right!

Lin Jin hissed angrily: "Meow meow meow!" (Do you want to die?)

Qin Yi couldn’t be bothered to look at her. He shoved the door open, dashed up to the sixth floor, tossed the little tabby onto the bed, and shut the door behind him.

"Sleep," he said, sitting on the chair. He turned on the desk lamp, pulled out his notebook of key points, and began muttering to himself.

Lin Jin, who’d been slightly touched by Qin Yi’s actions today, now frowned darkly. This guy was studying again while she slept.

Damn it—this made surpassing him even harder! Back in childhood, their grades had been evenly matched.

Still... Qin Yi had a strong physique. He’d vaulted over that incredibly high iron gate in one go. She’d heard his grandfather was a soldier. His excellent skills must be tied to that.

After a good sleep, she felt refreshed and energetic.

Lin Jin slowly opened her eyes. She stretched out her hand and examined it carefully. Five fingers—yes, a human hand.

Lin Jin jumped up excitedly. This was her first time staying in cat form so long. Suddenly freed from that cramped feeling, she was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Qin Yi, wake up! The sun’s already high, meow!" Lin Jin happily punched Qin Yi, who was dozing on his arm.

Qin Yi grunted and woke up.

"You’re so boring," Qin Yi said coldly, glancing at the overexcited Lin Jin. "Don’t you think your emotions are too intense?"

"Uh... sorry, meow." Her childhood friend had run around for her, yet she’d bitten the hand that fed her. Lin Jin felt a trace of shame.

"You..." The corner of Qin Yi’s eye twitched almost imperceptibly. "Say that again?"

"Sorry, meow~" Lin Jin scratched her head.

"Say it again?"

"Sorry, meow!" Was Qin Yi having a fit?

"Why... do you add that ending sound to your speech?"

"Meow?" Oh shit! Lin Jin clapped a hand over her mouth. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

So embarrassing!

Qin Yi pulled Lin Jin’s clothes from his pocket and tossed them to him. "Put them on. It’s painful to look at."

Only then did Lin Jin realize she was standing completely naked on the floor.

Damn it!
