In H City, China, in a six-story apartment, a man was sitting in front of a computer desk, staring at a blank document on the screen, completely clueless.
After sitting for a while, he finally couldn't come up with anything no matter how hard he tried. With no ideas, he closed the computer and took out a cigarette from the table, lighting it with a lighter and taking a puff.
This man's name is Xia Yan, 22 years old, single and living alone, and a novelist by profession.
Recently, he just finished serializing his novel on a website and now he's feeling frustrated about planning his new book.
Although he has already written the outline and setting for the new book, he just can't seem to type it out on the keyboard, as if he's stuck in a bottleneck.
Since he couldn't think of how to write for the time being, he decided to take a break, clear his mind, and find some inspiration.
Just as he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples with both hands, a lazy meow came from the direction of the living room.
When Xia Yan heard the cat's meow, it was like he suddenly remembered something. Immediately, he stood up and hurriedly ran to the living room, starting to fiddle with cat food for his cat.
In no time, a healthy and delicious cat food mixed with canned food was ready, and the aroma attracted a cute white stuffed toy cat.
Then, the cat affectionately rubbed against its owner's body before coming to the food and starting to eat the delicious cat food mixed with canned food.
Xia Yan looked at her enjoying her meal, a satisfied and content smile appeared on his face as he reached out to stroke her soft fur.
This stuffed toy cat is named Nia. The inspiration for the name came from his previous novel, where the female protagonist was also named Nia, a young white cat girl from the demon race.
Their encounter in reality happened last year when he coincidentally passed by a pet store and saw Nia staring at him intently from outside the window.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, but as he passed the store several times, Nia was always staring at him, and every time, she watched him leave as if she was reluctant to part.
Finally, one day out of curiosity, he came to the pet store to ask about this stuffed toy cat. He learned that she had arrived here not long ago and was not very friendly. Usually, she liked to lazily stay in her own nest and rarely came out... Furthermore, she strongly resisted being touched by others.
Whenever someone tried to touch her, she would find a way to escape, causing a lot of headaches.
Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but ask, "Can I touch her?"
The seller replied, "Of course, as long as she's willing."
Afterward, with a curious attitude, Xia Yan came to the nest of this stuffed toy cat, stretched out his hand to touch her fur. Unexpectedly, the stuffed toy cat actually came up to him affectionately, rubbing against his palm, and then obediently sat in place, showing her willingness to cooperate.
Xia Yan then tried to hold this stuffed toy cat in his arms with both hands, and as expected, she didn't resist at all. Instead, she snuggled into his chest and made a purring sound unique to cats.
Even the girl at the pet store was surprised by this scene. She didn't expect this not-so-friendly stuffed toy cat to show such a side.
"It seems like this little one really likes me... Do you sell her?"
"Well, she's for sale... The price of this stuffed toy cat is around ten thousand, but considering how much she likes you, we can give you a 10% discount, how about nine thousand?"
Nine thousand... Although this is a considerable sum of money for him, as someone who has been living alone all these years, it doesn't matter if he spends this money if it's worth it.
Besides, over the years, he has saved up some money from writing novels. At least, it should be enough to buy this stuffed toy cat.
After discussing with the girl at the pet store, Xia Yan, relying on his excellent eloquence, managed to negotiate the price down to eight thousand five hundred and also spent five hundred in the pet store to buy a cat bed, cat food, litter box, and cat litter... a series of cat supplies.Then he returned home with this cute white stuffed cat.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
He had been with Nia for a year now.
During this time, Xia Yan had almost entirely focused on his work and taking care of Nia.
And Nia had been surprisingly well-behaved, and especially attached to Xia Yan.
Almost every night, she would run onto his bed and sleep with him.
When Xia Yan started working on his novel, she seemed to understand that he was busy and couldn't spend as much time with her. She would quietly wait for him to finish his work in the living room or by his side, then crawl into his arms, bringing him a sense of healing.
Several times, Xia Yan even felt that his cat was actually a person in disguise.
Otherwise, how could she be so human-like?
Unfortunately, he hadn't confirmed this yet.
...
After Nia finished eating her cat food, Xia Yan immediately poured pet probiotics for her, watching as she licked the probiotics with her tender pink tongue.
She looked so adorable!
Fortunately, he had bought Nia earlier. The nearly 10,000 yuan spent on her was definitely worth it!
...
In the afternoon, after playing with Nia for a while, Xia Yan felt a bit tired.
Because he had stayed up all night to finish his previous novel, he hadn't gotten much rest.
So he decided to take a short nap in his room first, and then take Nia out for a walk and dinner at night... and then think about how to plan his new book.
He entered his room, took off his clothes, got into bed, and put on the eye mask by the bedside to rest.
Suddenly, he heard the door to his room being gently pushed open, and then something crawled onto his bed and pressed against his body.
He took off the eye mask and glanced, and sure enough, Nia, the adorable little one, had come running over again and was now sleeping on top of him.
She really liked sticking to him...
However, it was the duty of a pet owner to satisfy her little whims.
So he put on the eye mask again and didn't mind Nia lying on him.
As his breathing gradually became steady, he fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Nia, who was sleeping on him, suddenly opened her eyes at this moment. Her originally blue pupils shone with a peculiar golden glow, as if they had turned into golden eyes.
The next moment, the stuffed cat lying on Xia Yan disappeared and instead, a naked silver-haired cat-eared beautiful girl appeared at his bedside.
She looked at the sleeping Xia Yan, climbed onto his bed, lifted the silver strands cascading down her forehead, and gently kissed his lips.
...
...
"Master, I love you."
