The next morning, Xia Yan woke up groggily from his sleep. He didn't know what time he had fallen asleep last night, he just vaguely remembered dozing off. And he had a very special dream. He dreamt that he had entered the world of his novel, and the first person he encountered in that world was Nia. They fell in love, got married, had children, and watched their children grow up together happily, growing old together until the end. It was a beautiful dream. Beautiful, even somewhat unreal. But as he looked at Nia lying next to him, breathing rhythmically, he realized that it was not a dream. Even in reality, it was still happening. "The dream has come true, how lucky it is!" Xia Yan murmured, reaching out to gently touch her soft cheek. When he actually touched her, a smile formed at the corners of his mouth and his eyes showed nothing but tenderness and love for her. "Good morning, my little kitty..." ---- ---- Noon came, and Nia lazily crawled out of bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, only to find that her owner Xia Yan was not in the room. So she quickly got out of bed, barefoot on the red wooden floor, and went to the living room to look for her owner's trace. She found Xia Yan preparing lunch in the kitchen, and on the sofa were the clothes he specially bought for Nia in the morning. ... Nia then greeted Xia Yan in the kitchen, "Good morning, master. Why didn't you wake me up when you got up?" Xia Yan answered, while stir-frying vegetables, "You lazy little cat, you finally woke up. I called you this morning, but you didn't react at all! Well, hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and have lunch… I've prepared everything you need for washing up, including a towel with a cat head on it. You know how to use it, right?" "Yes, I know! I've learned from watching you, my master~" Nia replied. After speaking, she lightly stepped into the bathroom with a light step. However, she used Xia Yan's toothbrush instead of the one he prepared for her. Perhaps it was because she liked everything with her owner's scent. But in the future, Xia Yan would slowly correct her on this. ………………………………………………………… After lunch, Xia Yan took out a few clothes he bought specifically for Nia in the morning. Since he was not sure what size would fit her best, Xia Yan decided to buy clothes in all sizes! After all, he just needed to find the right fit, and he could return the rest later. After trying out a few sizes that fit Nia, he packed up the clothes that were either too big or too small, planning to return them when he had the chance. And the next time Nia needed clothes, he could buy them according to the size of the clothes she was wearing now. Looking at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather today was sunny and cloudless. The temperature was also quite comfortable. Xia Yan was worried that Nia would be bored staying at home alone, so he tentatively asked, "Nia, is there anything you want to do today?" … After a moment of consideration, Nia answered, "Can I go on a date with my master?" Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to make such a request to "go on a date." Of course, a date would require going out. But if people saw the cat ears on Nia's head and the cat tail behind her outside, it would be troublesome. So Xia Yan found a knitted hat and placed it on her head to cover her ears. At the same time, he had to tuck her tail into her clothes and avoid letting it be seen in crowded places as much as possible.Otherwise, it would attract unnecessary attention.

That's how Xia Yan left home with Nia, holding hands, after everything was ready.

He planned to take her on a date.

As for the location of the date, Xia Yan decided to choose the Times Square, not far from home.

There was a huge shopping mall here, with a variety of things, which amazed Nia, who had never been to the outside world before.

Xia Yan led her to eat a lot of street food and took her to see a horror movie.

Whenever a scary scene came on, Nia would get scared and cuddle into Xia Yan's embrace, holding him tightly.

It must be said, this feeling was quite good!

...

Later, Xia Yan took her to a jewelry store and specially picked out an exquisite necklace for her as a gift.

After she received the gift, she tiptoed in front of him and lightly pecked his cheek, then showed a sweet smile and said, "Thank you, master. Nia really likes this gift!"

Xia Yan's face instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "[Nia is just too cute! She's so cute that it's against the rules!]"

...

The date didn't end until evening.

Hand in hand, they embarked on the journey back home.

On the street in late October, the bleak autumn wind brought a chill.

Yellow leaves fell from the trees, and there was less than a week left until winter arrived.

It was said that this winter would be the coldest in the history of H City, but with Nia's company, even if it was cold, their hearts would definitely be warm.

...

...

After returning home, Xia Yan prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner.

However, he was suddenly stopped by Nia, who had lowered her head and remained silent, as if she didn't want him to leave her.

Out of curiosity, Xia Yan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Nia?"

But the answer she gave next stunned him!

"Master, Nia wants...to eat you."

...

"Eat me? What do you mean?"

The next second, Nia unexpectedly pounced on Xia Yan and pinned him down on the sofa in the living room.

Her strength suddenly became strong, and even as a male, he couldn't break free from her grasp.

At the same time, Nia's current state seemed a bit strange.

A touch of blush appeared on her creamy fair cheeks, and her gaze towards him gradually became ambiguous and seductive.

With such close proximity now, smelling the faint fragrance from her, his heart also started to beat faster.

Then, his lips felt the soft and petal-like touch, causing Xia Yan's pupils to contract in that instant.

He looked at Nia in front of him, reached out to embrace her, and they both greedily sought each other.

After a long time, when they separated, all that remained in Nia's eyes as she looked at Xia Yan was intense love.

--

"Master, Nia still wants more..."

As she spoke, she started to take off her clothes, which immediately made Xia Yan feel that something was amiss.

"Nia, why are you taking off your clothes?"

"Because Nia feels hot and uncomfortable wearing so much. It feels suffocating."

"Even so, you can't just take them off here! Nia, what's happening to you?"

"...Master, it seems like I'm in that period, you know...the heat period of a cat."

Xia Yan was startled to hear this. Now that he thought about it, he had bought Nia when she was only a few months old.

It had been over a year since then, and it seemed like it was about time for her heat period.

Originally, he had planned to have her spayed when she reached that period.However, now that she has become human, Xia Yan certainly cannot take her to be sterilized. What should he do then?

But just as Xia Yan was at a loss, Nia reached out and pulled open a zipper.

"Here, there's the scent of the master..."

"Nia, you can't go there!" Xia Yan tried to stop her, but it seemed to have little effect. She had already undone the belt and opened the zipper, revealing her little 'master'.

Xia Yan thought to himself, "I'm done, I'm socially dead now..."

And what's even more embarrassing is that he actually had a reaction!

"Master, Nia actually knows all about it... There are many times when the master feels lonely and secretly looks at the phone or computer in the room, using his hand to do some strange things... But please don't do it anymore, let Nia take care of these excess desires for the master... Is that okay?"

"And Nia can't resist it anymore! Master, please eat Nia..."

Faced with Nia's repeated pleas, Xia Yan chose to completely embrace his inner 'beast'!

He devoured her completely, and white mixed with red, turning into a pale pink.

...

Afterwards, Xia Yan looked at Nia, who was slumped asleep on the couch, feeling a sense of self-blame.

He didn't expect that he would actually take such a step, he was truly a beast!

But he would, of course, take responsibility for Nia and become the person who brings her happiness in the future.

At the same time, her ears on top of her head and tail behind her gradually disappeared, as if Nia had completely become human.

This surprised him even more!

Next, Xia Yan carried Nia back to his room and took care of her attentively. He waited until she woke up and anxiously asked, "Nia, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort in your body? Just now... I'm sorry, I couldn't control my desires and did that to you... Please forgive me!"

However, Nia smiled and gently touched Xia Yan's cheek with her hand, speaking in a gentle voice, "Nia doesn't blame the master at all. On the contrary, being taken by the master for the first time makes Nia very, very happy! And because of what just happened, Nia seems to have completely become a human."

After hesitating for a long time, Xia Yan finally gathered the courage to speak up loudly, "Nia, please marry me! Be my wife, I promise to make you happy!"

But Nia didn't hesitate at all and gave her answer, "Okay, Nia has been waiting for this moment from you, Master! We will always be together from now on!"

...

"Nia!"

Xia Yan was so excited that he almost didn't know what to say. He hugged Nia tightly, immersed in endless joy and happiness, unable to extricate himself.

And today, another happy couple was born in this world.

...

Later, Xia Yan managed to handle Nia's identity issue through the connections of his old classmate who worked in the government.

And her name was changed to Xia Ya, taking his last name.

But privately, Xia Yan still often called her Nia.

At the same time, Xia Yan would teach Xia Ya how to read and use various tools in the house, including buying her a cellphone and teaching her how to use it.

Fortunately, Xia Ya was very intelligent and had a strong learning ability!

Whether it was using a cellphone or other tools, or reading and arithmetic, she could learn them all in a short time.

Even when he was not around, she would follow the recipes and cook, and the dishes she made were even more delicious than Xia Yan's....

Years later, the two officially got married and became husband and wife.

On the day of the wedding, Xia Ya appeared before Xia Yan wearing a pure white wedding dress. Her beautiful appearance was something he could never forget in his entire life.

Time flew by, and years passed.

Another year passed, and there was good news - Xia Ya was pregnant!

Knowing that he was going to be a father, Xia Yan couldn't sleep that night. He stayed by his wife's side, holding her tightly in his arms, cherishing her like a precious treasure.

"Wife, what should we name our child when he/she is born?" Xia Yan asked.

"Hmm... You decide, husband," Xia Ya replied.

"Then let me think... How about using a character from my novel as the name?" Xia Yan suggested.

"Sure!"

"Let's name the boy Xia Mozhu, and the girl Xia Qingyuan. How does that sound?"

"No problem, husband. The names you chose for our child are very beautiful!" Xia Ya said.

"Haha, not really... I just came up with them spontaneously... I just hope our child will like them..."

As Xia Yan spoke, he gently placed his hand on Xia Ya's belly, brimming with tenderness and anticipation.

And ten months later, Xia Ya went into labor, while Xia Yan anxiously waited outside the obstetrics and gynecology department for news.

After waiting for a long time, the doctor finally came out, but his face wore a serious expression.

This made Xia Yan's heart sink.

He hurriedly grabbed the doctor's hand and anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is she? Is my wife okay?"

The doctor didn't know how to answer his question when looking at the young man in front of him. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and calmly replied, "The child is safe, but... I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, we did our best for your wife!"

...

...

...

The moment Xia Yan heard this news, he felt as if a thunderclap had struck him.

His world completely collapsed in that instant!

He no longer paid attention to the doctor in front of him and, like a madman, ran into the delivery room filled with the smell of disinfectant and a faint trace of blood.

The lights on the operating table had been turned off. Xia Yan surveyed his surroundings and finally found Xia Ya lying weakly on a stretcher, as well as their child in an incubator beside her.

He quickly rushed to Xia Ya's side, grabbing her hand and calling out her name repeatedly, "Wife, how are you? Wake up and open your eyes to look at me!"

Perhaps it was because of his calling that Xia Ya managed to regain consciousness and opened her eyes to look at Xia Yan by her side.

With a weak voice, she asked, "Husband... What about our child?"

Xia Yan carefully opened the incubator and gently placed their daughter, who was healthy, on the hospital bed for Xia Ya to see.

"Wife, look, this is our child, she is healthy, and she's a girl!" Xia Yan said.

"Mmm... I see... She looks a little like you, husband..."

Xia Ya reached out and gently held her daughter's tiny hand, wishing she could hold her hand like this forever...

"Husband... My time is running out... I won't be by your side anymore. Please take care of yourself... Don't stay up late and smoke anymore... And remember to raise our child... If there is another life... I still want to be your wife, cooking for you and giving birth to children..."

As Xia Ya spoke, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, Xia Yan's eyes were already filled with tears. He held Xia Ya's hand, shaking his head, and said to her, "No, it won't happen. You will be fine! The doctor will definitely cure you! You will be my wife in this lifetime, and I will never let you leave my side!"

And at that moment, Xia Ya smiled at him and reverted to the way she used to address him.

"...Master, it's so good to be able to meet you! Can you please whisper in my ear that you love me?""...I love you! I love you! I have always loved you deeply! From now on, I will only belong to you! So, please don't leave me, okay? Please don't go! I'm begging you..."

Xia Yan grabbed her other hand, knelt down, and pleaded continuously.

However, unfortunately, no miracle happened.

--------------------------------------------------

"Well, I love you too..."

After saying these last words, Nia weakly let go of Xia Yan's hand, and after shedding her final tears, she closed her eyes.

The beeping sound of the electrocardiogram machine next to them quickly turned into a long flatline, with a frequency that would never fluctuate again, extending forward indefinitely...

At this moment, Xia Yan completely lost control of his emotions and tears burst out like a flood.

A severe pain in his chest almost suffocated him. He couldn't imagine that all of this would happen to him.

"Nia, Nia, wake up! This is all fake, right? This is all a lie, isn't it? It can't be true! It can't be true!"

His emotions had completely collapsed, even the doctors and nurses couldn't bear to watch, and had to send people to forcefully drag him away.

And they put his newborn daughter back in the incubator.

The heart-wrenching cry of a man outside the delivery room moved everyone around.

Outside, the sky was grey and soon, drizzling rain began to fall.

But dreams wake up eventually, and the hazy grey sky will also have to face reality.
