Chapter 117 The Cat Returns 1
On the dimly lit street, a group of children surrounded a small calico cat, laughing and joking, occasionally throwing pebbles at it.
He even complained, "Ugh, this cat is so dirty, and it smells awful."
Another child suggested, "Why don't we give it a bath? There's a river over there."
The other children clapped excitedly and said, "Great! Great! Quick, throw it into the river!"
Several children held the kitten tightly, and the kitten cried out pitifully and struggled in their hands.
However, because it was too weak, these feeble resistances were meaningless to the children.
Occasionally, passersby would walk by, but they would only glance at them indifferently before hurrying away.
Shen Chumo felt a sense of despair because in this world, she had turned into a cat.
To make matters worse, she not only became a cat, but also a three-month-old stray kitten.
Shen Chumo had been starving for two days and was in a state of unbearable hunger when she unfortunately encountered the bullying and teasing of this group of naughty children.
Those naughty kids pulled her tail, tugged at her ears, and poked her body with twigs every now and then.
Shen Chumo wanted to resist, but she was too weak. Her faint meows sounded so powerless amidst the laughter of the mischievous children.
Seeing that she was about to reach the river, Shen Chumo no longer wanted to resist. At worst, she could swim to the other side of the river and get rid of these naughty kids.
She thought to herself, even though she's a kitten now, she should still have the instinct to swim.
Shen Chumo lay half-dead in the hands of the bratty kids, her eyes half-closed, her once lively cat eyes now filled with exhaustion and disgust for these bratty kids.
Her little paws drooped limply, and her already somewhat dirty fur was made even more messy by the mischievous child.
Just as they were about to reach the riverbank, a young man in sportswear ran up. He was probably jogging along the river when he unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
Yi Changfan frowned and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't bully small animals!"
The children were startled by the sudden appearance of the man and stopped what they were doing.
Yi Changfan stepped forward and snatched Shen Chumo from the child's hands.
He gently stroked Shen Chumo and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, you'll be alright."
Shen Chumo felt Yi Changfan's gentle caress and relaxed a little. She looked up at him and meowed softly, as if telling him about her ordeal.
Actually, Shen Chumo was cursing him! "You've finally arrived!"
Yi Changfan is her mission target in this world.
He is the second male lead in this world, while the male lead's name is Yi Zeyu, who is Yi Changfan's half-brother.
Yi Changfan was an illegitimate child. After giving birth to him, his mother took a sum of money, abandoned him at the Yi family home, and ran away. Young Yi Changfan then began a life of dependence on others.
He lived in the shadow of the Yi family mansion since childhood. In that seemingly luxurious but cold mansion, he was like a forgotten corner.
Yi Zeyu had the typical spoiled brat temperament, and he never hid his dislike for his younger brother.
Mrs. Yi was utterly disgusted by the product of her husband's infidelity, because she almost divorced Yi Hong and later stopped even returning to the Yi family home.
Therefore, Yi Zeyu disliked Yi Changfan even more and tried to drive him out of the Yi family several times.
Yi Hong was already in the wrong for having an affair, so even though he knew Yi Changfan was having a hard time in the Yi family, he never cared.
During his time at the Yi family home, Yi Changfan ate servants' meals and lived in servants' quarters.
However, despite the hardships of life, Yi Changfan has a kind and gentle heart. When he sees an injured bird in the yard, he will carefully carry it back to his room and use the little ointment he has to treat the bird's wounds. When he encounters bullied animals, he will also stand up for them and use his frail body to protect them.
And it was at this moment that the female lead appeared. The female lead, Zhou Mengqi, was a child brought over by a nanny in the Yi family. At first, Zhou Mengqi was also very reserved in the Yi family.
She followed her mother to this unfamiliar and luxurious mansion, and everything around her made her feel scared and uneasy.
The enormous crystal chandelier, the exquisite carpet, and the luxurious furniture—these seemingly beautiful things felt distant to her.
Zhou Mengqi mistakenly believed that Yi Changfan was also the servant's child, so the two gradually grew closer and had a very good relationship.
After seeing the two of them getting closer, Yi Zeyu began to deliberately tease Zhou Mengqi.
He would deliberately dirty the place that Zhou Mengqi had just cleaned, and then mock her for being clumsy at her work;
He would also suddenly stick out his foot and trip her while she was walking, then laugh out loud at her embarrassing fall.
Every time Zhou Mengqi was bullied, she could only silently hold back her tears because she knew that she and her mother had a very low status in the Yi family and could not easily offend Yi Zeyu.
It was at this moment that Yi Changfan stepped forward and, for Zhou Mengqi's sake, defied Yi Zeyu for the first time.
A playful glint flashed in Yi Zeyu's narrow eyes, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He had finally found his younger brother's weakness.
Yi Zeyu began to act out of character, showing Zhou Mengqi a lot of concern, apologizing for what he had done before, and explaining that he couldn't help but bully her because he liked her.
Yi Zeyu was handsome and had an unruly air about him, making him very popular at school. Faced with his advances, Zhou Mengqi quickly fell for him and started dating him.
When Yi Changfan found out, he didn't say anything, but simply wished her happiness.
However, Yi Zeyu and Zhou Mengqi always broke up and got back together. Whenever they quarreled, Zhou Mengqi would come to Yi Changfan for comfort. In her eyes, Yi Changfan was the male supporting character who loved her deeply, and he would always be there for her whenever she needed him.
Finally, one night, after arguing with Yi Zeyu, Zhou Mengqi called Yi Changfan in tears, saying she wanted to commit suicide. Yi Changfan anxiously drove out to find her, but ended up dying in a car accident.
After Yi Changfan's death, Yi Zeyu felt guilty towards his younger brother for the first time. Instead, he broke up with Zhou Mengqi and gave her a large sum of money to send her abroad.
Finally, Zhou Mengqi gave birth to a child abroad, and the story ends there.
Shen Chumo's identity is that of a kitten raised by Yi Changfan; this is only mentioned in a few lines in the original story.
Shen Chumo's mission is to protect Yi Changfan and keep him alive.
To this, Shen Chumo could only say, XXXXXXX
She's just a cat! What can she do? Can she rush out and pull Yi Changfan back? Or can she talk to him and tell him not to go out at night? Isn't that a joke?!
