Chapter 1 001 Transmigrated as a Cat
As dawn broke, the warm yellow sunlight fell on the gauze curtains, casting a gentle glow on the old residential buildings.
The sound insulation in urban villages has always been terrible, and Meng Qinghe's floor was relatively low, so he could clearly hear the sounds outside from inside the house.
At that moment, the tenant living on the first floor shouted to stop the breakfast cart that was about to set up its stall.
After a conversation, Meng Qinghe heard that he had asked the shop owner for three meat buns, one preserved vegetable bun, one fried dough stick, and two cups of soy milk.
The outside world became increasingly bustling, and Meng Qinghe lost the mood to write. Fortunately, the 10,000 words to be submitted tomorrow had already been written.
After typing the last period and setting the release time, Meng Qinghe took a deep breath, leaned to the side, and slowly fell onto the bed.
After staying up all night, once the goal of staying up all night was achieved, sleepiness came like a tidal wave.
Meng Qinghe had just closed his eyes when he fell into a deep sleep.
Meng Qinghe did not sleep soundly.
My body felt like a piece of duckweed on the sea, tossed about by the waves, swaying back and forth, with no sense of security whatsoever.
She tried several times to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.
She struggled in a state between sleep and wakefulness until the sea gradually calmed down, at which point she finally fell asleep again.
After some time, Meng Qinghe smelled an alluring fragrance.
The aroma wafted into her nostrils, and her stomach rumbled in perfect unison.
This time, opening my eyes was very easy.
However, the scene that greeted Meng Qinghe when he opened his eyes left him stunned, his mind going blank for a moment.
Meng Qinghe found herself in front of a row of iron bars, with plastic walls on the other three sides, confined in a small rectangular space.
I carefully moved forward a little, nestled against the railing, and peered out through the gaps between the railings.
From her angle, all she could see was a pair of fair and slender ankles, and the pink plush slippers the owner was wearing.
Meng Qinghe initially judged that the other party was a girl.
Although she couldn't see what the other person was doing, Meng Qinghe could tell from the way the other person's toes lightly tapped the ground to the rhythm of the music that she was in a good mood.
Meng Qinghe paused for a moment when his gaze fell on the latch on the railing.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she realized that the place she was in looked a lot like a cat carrier, which immediately gave her a bad feeling.
She lowered her head, as if confirming something.
As she expected, she saw a hairy paw.
!
She turned into a cat?!
Meng Qinghe tried to open and close her palms to prove that the claws in front of her were not hers, but the claws moved as she wished, opening and closing in front of her.
"Meow--"
My God!
I must be dreaming; I must not be fully awake yet.
Meng Qinghe closed her eyes, staggered backward, and tried to escape.
"Oh! You're awake!"
Upon hearing the noise, Meng Qinghe's round eyes narrowed, and she looked outside warily.
It was someone outside who saw that she was awake and opened the flight case.
Looking at the hand reaching out to her, Meng Qinghe trembled slightly, a fear that was the body's instinct.
Chi Yingdong gently lifted the cat out by placing his hands under its armpits and raising it high so that the kitten was at eye level with him.
Looking at the kitten's tiny head, Chi Yingdong felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
Chi Yingdong felt that God still favored her and gave her a chance to be reborn.
Waking up in a pet store, Chi Yingdong looked at the sales clerk who was concerned and about to call an ambulance, and realized that he had been reborn half a month before the apocalypse.
At that moment, she was in a pet store choosing a kitten to take home.
Chi Yingdong originally intended to leave directly and did not plan to bring the cat back in this life.
She is not a troublesome person, and even thinks that taking care of small animals and being responsible for them is a very troublesome thing.
Furthermore, the conditions in the apocalypse are harsh, making it extremely inconvenient to have a cat with you.
She could let it go because of the plot in her previous life, but she would never raise a cat again in this life!
Obviously, one shouldn't make promises lightly; doing so will only lead to being proven wrong.
A casual glance at the shop window revealed a tiny calico cat curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully. Chi Yingdong, almost against his will, brought the cat back.
What was she thinking at that time?
It seems so; the apocalypse is so tough, the kitten needs someone to protect it.
"Baby, you've woken up at just the right time. Mommy has prepared cat food for you."
Meng Qinghe looked nervously at the woman in front of him, but was stunned.
The woman was wearing a cream-colored loungewear set, with the top button undone and the collar open to the sides, revealing her porcelain-white skin, as white as mutton fat jade, and her smooth collarbones.
Meng Qinghe thought of a popular term on the internet these days: pure desire.
Above that was a face that was still radiant and beautiful even without makeup, with healthy, natural light pink cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, a pert nose, and extremely delicate features.
Her chestnut-brown curly hair was casually pinned up at the back of her head, with two strands of hair at her temples, making her look like a noble yet playful little princess.
Looking at the other person's face, Meng Qing felt a strange sense of familiarity, but she was certain that she had never seen this person before.
Judging from the appearance of the person in front of me, I would never forget her once I saw her.
"Baby, you're happy to come home with Mommy, aren't you?"
Chi Yingdong saw the kitten's big, black agate-like eyes staring at him without blinking, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, his smile growing even stronger.
She pressed her forehead against the kitten's fluffy head and rubbed it affectionately.
The kitten's soft fur brushed against her cheek, and at that moment, Chi Yingdong knew clearly that taking the kitten home was the best decision she had ever made.
In this life, she awakened her superpowers earlier than anyone else and also gained access to a spatial dimension.
As long as she stays away from the original protagonist, she can definitely protect the kitten for life.
Holding the kitten in one arm and picking up the cat bowl in the other, Chi Yingdong walked towards the cat canteen she had prepared beforehand.
She gently placed the cat bowl and kittens down one by one. Looking at the kittens' heads, which were even smaller than the bowls, she couldn't bear to leave immediately. Instead, she ate with the kittens.
The cat food on the plate looked tempting and was arranged exquisitely. Looking at the food, Meng Qinghe felt a mix of emotions.
The ingredients for the meal prepared by Chi Yingdong were things she had previously been reluctant to eat.
Botan shrimp, baby lobster, salmon.
But now, faced with this carefully prepared cat food, she doesn't know how to eat it.
It wasn't the food itself that was the problem; rather, she needed time to accept the fact that she was now a cat.
"Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"
Chi Yingdong frowned slightly. Was the kitten this picky about food in his previous life?
Originally, Chi Yingdong planned to buy all the necessary supplies for the cat, including cat food, at the pet store where he purchased the kitten.
Business is so good that the quality of the cat food currently in the store is not very good.
Chi Yingdong has always had high standards for his quality of life. He will never compromise himself if he can give himself the best within his means and circumstances.
Being her cat means you have to eat the best cat food.
The cat food sold in the store prioritizes cost-effectiveness, mixing grains and meat. Long-term high carbohydrate intake can negatively impact a kitten's health.
Chi Yingdong decisively gave up and decided to purchase pure meat cat food from other channels.
These past two days, I've been making cat food for the kittens myself as a transitional measure.
"Meow--"
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Being too abrupt might make people think we're monsters.
Thinking this, Meng Qinghe imitated the behavior of a kitten in her memory, rubbed against Chi Yingdong's hand, and obediently lowered her head to eat her cat food.
Taking the first step, Meng Qinghe found it wasn't so hard to accept.
It was the first time Meng Qinghe had eaten without using his hands, relying solely on his mouth to eat. He ate awkwardly and cautiously, but still managed to smear food on his cheeks, and some even fell onto the floor.
Meng Qinghe looked at the food on the ground. As a human soul, she couldn't eat the food on the floor like a real kitten. She felt a little guilty for causing trouble for others.
"It's okay, little one, Mommy will clean it up in a bit."
Chi Yingdong seemed to be able to hear the cat's thoughts and gently stroked the cat's head.
"Meow--"
Meng Qing responded softly, feeling touched.
Chi Yingdong seemed to think of something, chuckled, and praised, "My baby is a smart baby who is hygienic and clean. Even at such a small size, my baby knows that things that have fallen on the ground are dirty and cannot be eaten."
There was no blame, and she was even praised. Meng Qinghe's eyes trembled, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart in an instant.
Meng Qinghe's family of origin can be described as broken.
When she was very young, her parents divorced quickly due to a breakdown in their relationship.
A year later, the two started new families, and she became a burden they both avoided, fearing that she would drag them down.
Fortunately, her maternal grandmother loved her and raised her single-handedly, giving her warmth.
Influenced by her original environment, Meng Qinghe became reluctant to interact with people, and she built a thick wall around her heart.
After graduating from university, Meng Qinghe also tried to make a change and mustered up the courage to enter the workplace.
However, the sheer number of interpersonal relationships she had to manage in the workplace overwhelmed her, and she eventually resigned.
Fortunately, WeChat official accounts were all the rage that year, and Meng Qinghe began submitting articles to various platforms.
Although the path of writing is not easy, there are countless talented writers, and even if you spend several days polishing a manuscript, it can be mercilessly wasted.
But since writing only requires focusing on one's own work and doesn't involve much contact with others, Meng Qinghe persisted.
Two years ago, her grandmother passed away. Since then, Meng Qinghe has almost never left her rented room, isolating herself from the world.
Chi Yingdong was the first person Meng Qinghe had come into close contact with in the past two years.
Not only would the other person prepare food for her carefully, but they would also hug her gently. At that moment, Meng Qinghe felt that being a cat wasn't so bad.
No need to worry about the trivialities of life and the pressure of making a living; there are people who care for you and love you.
After the kitten finished eating, Chi Yingdong took the dishes into the kitchen to start washing them.
Seeing Chi Yingdong enter the kitchen, Meng Qinghe relaxed and cautiously began to explore her current home.
The house is very big, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Standing by the window, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city's nightscape.
Meng Qinghe never imagined that she would one day live in a large apartment, but today, she lives there as a cat. It's just a twist of fate.
The living room features a warm light pink color scheme, paired with soft lighting, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.
A bouquet of roses sat on the coffee table, its delicate fragrance filling the air.
Throughout the house, you can see the homeowner's love for life.
Unbeknownst to him, Meng Qinghe walked to a full-length mirror.
She sat quietly in front of the mirror, looking at herself in surprise.
A calico cat with bright, shiny fur.
Judging from the kitten's size, Meng Qinghe estimated it to be a little over a month old, still a baby, but it was truly beautiful.
White gloves and a white scarf, with a pair of bright green eyes, like a deep pool that makes you want to explore.
So this is what it looks like!
Meng Qinghe is quite satisfied with her current appearance, after all, calico cats are known for their good looks in the cat world!
Chi Yingdong came out of the kitchen, found a cat toy, and started teasing the kitten.
Meng Qinghe initially dismissed it, after all, she wasn't a real kitten.
However, seeing the pink feathers swaying in front of her, she couldn't help but crawl on the ground, her tail swaying behind her as if gathering strength.
Chi Yingdong took in her actions and, with a mischievous grin, slowed down the shaking of the cat toy. Just as the kitten lunged forward, he lifted it high, causing the kitten to miss its target.
The kitten stared blankly at the ground, which amused Chi Yingdong, who then held the cat toy back up in front of the kitten and gently shook it.
Hearing Chi Yingdong's laughter, Meng Qinghe felt both ashamed and annoyed, but when the cat toy reappeared in front of her, she still couldn't help but play with it.
After playing with the kitten for a while, Chi Yingdong finally stopped teasing it.
Chi Yingdong touched the red mole on the back of his hand, pondering what he should stockpile before the end of the world arrived.
Since you've decided to get a kitten, in addition to your own necessities, you should naturally stock up on kitten litter, cat food, and cat toys as well.
