Ye Yixing lay on the bed, closing his eyes to calm his emotions and heart rate.

This transformation wasn’t as abrupt as the previous one, so he didn’t feel as exhausted as if he had just finished running a marathon. Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, he didn’t feel so tired that he was about to faint. It all happened in the blink of an eye…

Holding the collar, Ye Yixing recalled everything that had happened since the day of the accident: suddenly turning into a cat, coming to this home with He Yanlu, sleeping together intimately, gradually realizing his feelings for him, and then understanding He Yanlu’s subtle attitude towards “Ye Yixing” through his confessions…

He felt like he was dreaming. In just over twenty days, his life had undergone so many changes.

Sometimes, even he himself wanted to ask, what should be his next step.

As the audience says, ask the director.

Ye Yixing opened his eyes and smiled foolishly, his fingers slowly sliding on the bedsheet.

He couldn’t find any black cat fur on the bed, so does that mean he can’t coexist with the black cat?…

He had transformed into a cat twice. The first time was because of the car accident, and the second time was when his energy instantly drained upon returning to human form. He remembered the feeling back then. During the first transformation, he couldn’t fully experience the existence of his “body,” but after turning back into a cat, he could speak in human language, and he could clearly regain the sense of “Ye Yixing” in his being.

It may sound strange, but he had a vague feeling that when he was a black cat, his body was hidden in an unknown space, like Doraemon’s pocket, capable of containing anything. Once he turned back into a human, the black cat’s body returned to another dimension, and his soul would return to his own body as “Ye Yixing.”

Just like now…

Ye Yixing touched his own hair, feeling no dryness like after dyeing it. The current texture felt as pure and soft as when he was born. Even without looking in the mirror, he was certain that his hair was naturally black.

He carefully observed his fingers. Over twenty days had passed, and his nails hadn’t grown at all. They even had a healthy shine, and his body felt refreshed and clean as if it had been purified.

Did that space have some healing magic? Or did it slow down the division of his cells at an extremely slow rate? Ye Yixing was startled when he thought of the phrase “immortality.” Could it be that he had truly become a cat demon…? Was this the legendary ability to deceive others with a perfect disguise? (=_=)

No, stop! He couldn’t inherit He Yanlu’s imaginative thinking just because he became his son! Becoming a cat demon was too unreliable! Moreover, he planned to hold his dad’s hand and grow old together! How could he become a freak who looked the same for a dozen or twenty years!



On the other hand, if the black cat’s alternate dimension space really had a healing effect, he could transform into a cat in the future to let his body rest when he had minor aches, pains, or when he was exhausted!…

Although the truth behind this speculation was unknown, just the possibility of using the black cat magic repeatedly made Ye Yixing eagerly anticipate the ability to transform between human and cat forms, itching to give it a try.

He reached out and touched the bedside, but He Yanlu, that idiot, ran out so fast, he probably didn’t bring his phone. He didn’t know if he had taken his wallet!

Glancing at the time on his phone, based on past experience, his dad wouldn’t take more than an hour to return from the supermarket. He could use this time to try and see if it worked. If not, he would come up with another plan.



He Yanlu pushed the shopping cart around the large supermarket, circling around again and again, but it remained empty.

After three or four rounds, the supermarket staff couldn’t help but start whispering.

Auntie from the household goods section discreetly moved towards the middle-aged lady in the simple clothing section.

Auntie: “That young man has been pushing around an empty cart for several rounds.”

Middle-aged lady: “Why is he taking a walk in the supermarket…”

Auntie: “My son does the same. He never goes outside for a morning run! He spent over three thousand yuan to buy a treadmill… Ah! Look at this one, taking a walk but pretending to buy things and all…”

Middle-aged lady: “I’m old, I don’t understand the thoughts of young people…”



The intern server from the biscuit and snacks section huddled with the young female server from the nutrition and health section.

Biscuit girl: “That handsome guy has been pushing the cart around for several rounds, but it’s obvious he’s just an empty-headed beauty…”

Nutrition girl: “…He’s not daydreaming! He’s daydreaming about his girlfriend! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have furrowed brows and a silly smile, drifting in and out of daydreams with shining eyes!” She said, cupping her face with both hands, eyes full of hearts. “These affectionate and foolish men are the cutest, they’re almost extinct!”

Biscuit girl: “Oh, I see…”

Nutrition girl: “Let me tell you, these types of men are definitely good for dating! Otherwise, they’re not reliable!” She playfully hit the biscuit girl on the head. “Stop talking nonsense, those men might look cool and a bit bad, but they’re useless!”

The biscuit girl rubbed her head in distress, thinking: But that clueless handsome guy obviously looks like a bottom! Being in a relationship with someone like that would definitely be passive! I should find a boyfriend who takes charge…



He Yanlu pushed the cart, his mind filled with the conversation and thoughts he had with Xia Hei in the morning.

[Will you like it…YeYixing′s appearance…]

This sentence echoed in his mind, playing on repeat.

He Yanlu’s face started to heat up again.

No, no! Calm down! Just thinking about Xia Hei turning into Ye Yixing makes your face flush and your heart race. If that happens while you’re acting as a father, your authority will completely crumble!

He quickly pushed the cart into the frozen food section, with rows of ice cream, frozen buns, and dumplings. The cold air hit him instantly.

He casually grabbed two bags of frozen dumplings and threw them into the cart. He Yanlu mechanically circled around the freezer, his mind wandering uncontrollably.

If Xia Hei really turned into Ye Yixing, he absolutely couldn’t let him go out! What if he bumped into the real Ye Yixing on the street one day? How awkward would that be! If confronted by Ye Yixing face to face, he would probably be too nervous to say a word…

Wait, didn’t Ye Yixing recently go missing?

Ye Yixing didn’t come on Yang Qu’s birthday, and he had planned to get a closer look at him. Maybe he could even exchange a few words. Unfortunately, he mustered up the courage to attend the party but didn’t see him…

But it was fortunate that he met Xia Hei that day. Speaking of which, Xia Hei and Ye Yixing seemed to have some fate! Chu Wenxiang also connected them together…

Where did Ye Yixing go? He Yanlu worried, but then he thought that Ye Yixing had a good relationship with Yang Qu. If something really happened to Ye Yixing, Yang Qu wouldn’t be calmly attending classes at school… Maybe he could casually ask Yang Qu about it… Yes! He had to act nonchalant!



After about an hour, Ye Yixing’s heartbeat and blood flow had already returned to normal, but there was no sign of turning back into a black cat again, even after waiting for a long time.

He felt a bit disappointed and anxious, pondering how he would confront He Yanlu when he returned if he couldn’t turn back. Meanwhile, he continued to recall the sensations from the last time he transformed into a cat…

Come to think of it, besides exerting a lot of physical strength and achieving emotional calmness, there seemed to be another condition. He had to be focused on something related to that black cat…

Did he think about something random on the night of the accident? In that instant, was there even time? Wait! The black cat’s eyes!

Yes, both times he turned back into a cat, Ye Yixing saw the eyes of the black cat, which appeared in his mind as if occupying his entire brain!

Ye Yixing immediately closed his eyes, and everything turned pitch black.

He concentrated, pushing aside all distractions, leaving only the eyes that belonged solely to the black cat—emerald green in color, deep and mysterious…

Black cat, black cat, please grant me the magic to transform once again…

Unconsciously, Ye Yixing silently prayed in his heart…

After a moment, he felt his body becoming lighter, and the collar that was in his hand fell onto the bed, making a pleasant ringing sound. Ye Yixing raised his hand, and what came into view was a furry black paw…

Ah… So, it can be done at this level.

Meanwhile, He Yanlu was still circling around the frozen food section of the supermarket…

Normally, he always held Xia Hei, but if Xia Hei turned into a human, how tall would he be? If he was taller and bigger than himself, what would he do if he couldn’t hold him anymore? Speaking of which, he had once estimated Ye Yixing’s height, and that guy seemed to be a bit taller than himself… Could he discuss with Xia Hei and ask him to become a slightly smaller version of Ye Yixing?

Uh… But wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to meet Ye Yixing on the street like that! (=_=)

Actually, he might occasionally let Xia Hei transform at home to show him, but most of the time, it would be better if he remained a cat—light and comfortable to hold, and bathing would be easier too…

Huh? Bathing! If Xia Hei turned into a human, would he have to bathe him?

He… he should be able to bathe himself! But if Xia Hei acted spoiled and insisted on him giving him a bath, (=皿=) what should he do…?

He Yanlu suddenly increased the speed of pushing the cart and nervously grabbed five boxes of ice cream, throwing them into the shopping cart… Cool air, cool air! He desperately needed cool air!



“Excuse me, sir…” A mechanical voice abruptly interrupted He Yanlu’s thoughts. “I’m sorry to bother you.”

He Yanlu turned around and saw a supermarket employee wearing a uniform standing behind him. “Uh?”

“If you want to buy these frozen products, you should pay for them and take them home to refrigerate or consume as soon as possible. Otherwise… if you keep pushing them around in the cart, they’ll melt…” The employee suggested with a professional smile, but inside, someone was about to explode! You’ve been piling up half a cart of ice cream and frozen buns, wandering around here for half the day, what are you trying to do?! If you don’t want to buy them, put them back in the freezer immediately!! If you keep pushing them, I’ll start suspecting you escaped from a mental hospital and call security!!

He Yanlu finally realized what was going on, immediately apologized, and put half of the frozen products back in the freezer. He pushed the cart with two bags of xiaolongbao to the checkout counter, feeling embarrassed.

It was the first time he had lost control to this extent in public… He Yanlu slapped himself on the head, inwardly frustrated: It’s all Xia Hei’s fault! I won’t let you cause trouble anymore!

While silently complaining, He Yanlu suddenly realized that he had been out for quite a while. Would Xia Hei be worried? He reached into his pocket to look for his phone but realized he had left it behind! Fortunately, he was wearing the same pants as yesterday, and his wallet was still in the pocket.

There was an electronic clock at the supermarket checkout counter. He Yanlu glanced at it and saw that it was almost 11 o’clock… He had been out for an hour and a half and only bought two bags of xiaolongbao? Xia Hei would definitely nag at him when he got back!

He hastily picked up the shopping bag and hurried back, his face filled with conflict.

Mo Yanze glanced at the GPS location on his phone and the address displayed on the information. He asked the driver to stop by the flower bed at the entrance of the Xingyue Yuan residential complex. He got out of the car, and a security guard immediately approached to inquire about his purpose.

Mo Yanze took off his sunglasses, took the documents handed over by the driver, and said, “I am the owner of Property 16 in Xingyue Yuan.”

The initially skeptical security guard quickly took the documents and glanced over them. He enthusiastically said, “Welcome, welcome…”

“My surname is Mo.” Mo Yanze looked at the security guard, unsure of how to address him, and coldly said.

“Oh! Mr. Mo!” The security guard immediately became more respectful upon hearing Mo Yanze’s surname. “Is it Mr. Mo from Yanqing Real Estate?”

Mo Yanze glanced at him without answering, only saying, “Apartment 2P in Number 16.”

The security guard smiled, “You’ve come to see Mr. He, right?” He nodded and was about to lead Mo Yanze to He Yanlu’s home when he turned around and saw the person in question coming from not far away, carrying a bag from the supermarket.

“Oh! Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!” The security guard pointed to He Yanlu not far away and said, “Mr. He is over there.”

Mo Yanze squinted his eyes, handed the documents back to the driver, and strode towards He Yanlu, who was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, wondering why there was suddenly someone blocking his path.

“He Yanlu.” This time, Mo Yanze didn’t bother with polite greetings but called out his brother’s name more directly and commanding. “You need to talk to me.”

It wasn’t “I need to talk to you,” but “You need to talk to me,” indicating his true arrogance and domineering nature.

“Who are you?” He Yanlu furrowed his brows warily, clearly having forgotten about the stranger he almost collided with at school and the man who tried to intercept him at the teahouse one evening…

“I am your brother,” Mo Yanze said, feeling an instant sense of relief as if he had said, “I am your father,” displaying his overbearing attitude.

He Yanlu involuntarily took a step back, stunned. “My mom only gave birth to me.”

“…,” Mo Yanze raised an eyebrow, his brother was truly lacking in common sense.

With a crooked smile, he said, “Your biological father has slept with more than one woman.”

Upon hearing this, He Yanlu’s face turned pale, and his entire body seemed to freeze over with a layer of frost. He tried to remain calm and asked, “What do you want from me?”
