“Then I’ll leave Sweet Pea in your care. I’ll probably take about a week. Sorry to trouble you guys.”
“No problem, Mr.He. You can rest assured and go. Sweet Pea is so well-behaved. There won’t be any trouble at all.”
“Thank you guys very much!”
This voice sounded pretty young.
Or perhaps, he seemed to really like Sweet Pea?
Who was Sweet Pea then? A kid? A very obedient kid?
Thoughts disjointed, TA suddenly felt his body lifted into the air.
One of the extremely gentle voices just now immediately turned a bit malevolent: “Hah, that idiot brought money over again. I’m warning you, little Sweet Pea. You better work with me obediently here. I’ve arranged some breeding candidates for you already. As long as you’re well-behaved, you’ll be able to see him when he gets back. Otherwise… hah.”
Breeding candidates? Also why would my body suddenly rise in midair?
Panicking suddenly, TA started to struggle.
Who am I? Where am I? What’s going on?
“Fck! I just finished talking and you’re already being disobedient? Then you can go stay quietly in the confinement room!”
With the sound of a bang, TA felt someone grab him by the back of his neck and throw him into some place. Then, there were no other noises.
So quiet.
TA was a bit lost.
What’s… wrong with me?
Reaching out a hand, TA wanted to feel around and see what kind of place this was. But unexpectedly, TA tripped over his own ‘hand.’
TA thoroughly became perplexed.
What… the heck?
Carefully reaching out both hands again, TA slowly felt around little by little and discovered a shocking reality.
TA seemed to have… turned into a cat?
Turned into?
TA was baffled again. Then what was I originally?
Understanding that he was only a cat, TA started to walk around on four legs. Stumbling around for quite a while initially, TA gradually became accustomed.
The cat’s body was more flexible and nimble than he imagined. Very quickly, TA got used to walking around on four legs.
So in other words, I’m Sweet Pea? Is Sweet Pea… is me?
TA suddenly had a thought.
But… I should be a person? Why did I change into a cat?
Sweet Pea tilted his head in confusion. Unable to figure anything out, he started to march about, searching for sunlight with squinted eyes.
This confinement area was very dim and very dark, but Sweet Pea still found an air vent. A faint sound came from this area.

He leaned towards the source of the sound and immediately heard a conversation. From this conversation, he obtained some information.
This was a pet store, but it did some shady business in the back. They would privately breed customers’ valuable pets during their momentary stay in an attempt to create purebreds. And then try to sell the babies for high prices.
According to their conversation, they’ve done this plenty of times before already.
In other words, when the pet store owner said he wanted to grab me for breeding, that was true?
Sweet Pea was shocked.
He thought of something at this moment and hastily lowered his cat head……
Alright. He managed to lick two eggs. Good thing, good thing. He was a male cat. No mistake.
But……
His owner seemed to have left him here temporarily for an entire week? Didn’t that mean that after the week was over, his innocence would be gone?
Thinking this, Sweet Pea’s fur immediately puffed up all over. The round fur ball rolled around in the confinement room while thinking about plans to escape.
That’s right!
He definitely had to escape from this pet store! Or else, he’ll be defiled! He was still a virgin!
……
Sweet Pea was suddenly dumbfounded.
So originally… I was a virgin?
He was shocked.
However, not long after, he shook his head and threw this thought away and continued to ponder about how to escape. His virginity definitely can’t be sullied by a female cat!
Outside the pet store, the owner sat down to play a few rounds of games, then took off his earphones, cursing and swearing: “What kind of shitty players are these? Can’t even play games right, what deadbeats. Didn’t your dads teach you that you have to use hands to play games?”
Saying this, he scratched his back and stood up. Looking at the time, it was already almost 5pm: “No business again today. What bad fcking luck!” Spitting, he suddenly remembered, there was still a priceless cat in the confinement room!
This cat must definitely be a purebred. Or else why would its owner spend several thousands on it? Soon, he’ll have it bred and then sell the babies for a few thousand each. Wouldn’t that feel great?
Hold on. He needed to throw something in. Can’t let this cat die of starvation.
As the owner of the store thought this, he went to the storage room and found a recently expired canned cat food: “Count yourself lucky. There’s actually canned food for you. You got it good.” Mumbling, he walked into the confinement room and opened the door.
The room was completely deserted.
The owner of the store froze, then quickly walked in to look around all over. A small figure took the chance to jump down from above the door and quickly left this area.
The owner searched for quite a while, looked up and finally saw a tile on the ceiling of the confinement room that’s been pushed open.
He was shocked. Oh no!
The owner of this Sweet Pea paid a huge sum of money to leave it here!
“Damn cat! Don’t let me catch you!” Cursing and swearing, he grabbed a utility bag used for catching cats and rushed out of the store.
It better not have really run away! If he caught this cat, he’ll definitely make it pay!
He Qian, who just sat into his seat on the plane, suddenly felt his heart skip. For some reason, he just felt like something had happened. His complexion became somewhat unsightly.
Could it be… Sweet Pea?
He quickly turned to look at his senior classmate next to him and wanted to discuss taking the day off and then flying over himself tomorrow. But just as he opened his mouth, he froze.
His upperclassman’s eyes… Why did they look lifeless?
He was extremely shocked. Thinking it might be a misperception created by his panic, he hastily turned to look at the female flight attendant to the side.
She looked expressive.
Then he turned back to look at his upperclassman.
A lifeless expression.
He Qian inexplicably shuddered. He quietly called over the flight attendant and asked her what she thought of his senior classmate’s eye expression.
The flight attendant blushed red. That gentleman’s eyes were very beautiful so…… she didn’t feel like there was anything wrong?
He Qian still wanted to ask some more, but his upperclassman turned around to look at him: “What’s the matter?”
The tone was not right. He Qian could tell immediately. This was not his upperclassman’s usual tone.
Freezing for a second, he immediately shook his head and gave a bitter smile: “I’m just missing Sweet Pea.”
‘Rong Qing’ nodded his head: “I see.” Done speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look at the file in his hand.
That piece of document was extremely important. There will be a business meeting about it the day after tomorrow. But…
His upperclassman should have already planned ahead. Also he had a small habit of becoming plane sick so he shouldn’t be reading files anyways on the plane.
The more He Qian watched, the more alarmed he was.
Especially when he saw ‘Rong Qing’ walk into the washroom, he felt goosebumps rise all over.
Did his upperclassman… get switched?
Who was this person that took such precisely measured steps, like an artificial robot? Where did his upperclassman go?
In an instant, a huge sense of panic and helplessness rose in He Qian’s heart.
What… should he do?
“Achoo!” Curled up under a tree in the park, Sweet Pea carefully surveyed in all directions before finally coiling his body up on a tree branch and closing his eyes at ease.
He already escaped that pet store three days ago. However, everyday, he’d be able to see that store owner tirelessly searching for him.
He knew why.
Because his owner seemed to have given the store owner a huge sum of money for taking care of him. If he couldn’t be found, then the store owner, who was already in debt, would have even more money he couldn’t return.
Closing his eyes and licking the scrape on his foot, Sweet Pea told himself. Four more days. After four days, he’ll go hide around the pet store and wait for his owner to come.
When that time comes, he’ll be safe.
One week later. He Qian followed behind ‘Rong Qing’, so exhausted that even his walk was stiff, like a zombie.
‘Rong Qing,’ who was walking in the front, didn’t seem plane-sick at all. And even energetically turned to look at He Qian, saying with a large grin: “Do you want to get a drink for celebration?”
His upperclassman… never drank at all.
He Qian pressed his lips together, shook his head, and deliberately said in a light tone: “No way. If I don’t go pick up Sweet Pea now, I’m afraid he won’t pay attention to me in the future anymore. I can’t let that happen.”
‘Rong Qing’ nodded his head: “Go ahead then. Later, I’ll send you a big red pouch for the business this time.”
He Qian hastily gave thanks: “Then I’ll be heading off first.”
He quickly called for a taxi. As soon as he got into the car, he instantly relaxed.
The last few days, his mental state was stretched taut constantly, afraid to reveal any irregularities in front of this upperclassman, in case he’d be discovered.
The driver saw him like this and said: “This exhausted, yet you still want to go pick up your pet?”
He Qian subconsciously looked at the driver’s eyes from the rearview mirror. Although they were a bit muddled, they still looked lively.
He let out a breath: “That’s right.”
Mentioning Sweet Pea, his expression softened a lot: “Sweet Pea is still young. He’s very clingy. I’m afraid if I go late, he might get angry at me, and it’ll be impossible to please him again. If that happens, then I’d lose out big.”
The driver laughed boisterously: “Then I’ll do my best to drive quicker and let you guys reunite earlier.”
He Qian gave thanks, momentarily closed his eyes, and took a slight nap.
About 20 minutes later, the driver woke him up: “Hey kid, kid? Ai, you’re finally awake. We’re at the pet store! However it’s a bit strange. It’s not open today.”
“What?” He Qian quickly looked out. It really wasn’t open!
“Then are you still getting out?” The driver asked him.
“Yes. Thank you.” He Qian paid the bill and got off quickly to walk hurriedly over to the pet store. Outside of the store, there was a sign stating that the owner was out doing something. He Qian swiftly pulled out his phone and gave the store owner a call.
However……
‘The number you dialed is unavailable……”
He Qian froze.
unavailable?
Refusing to give up, he called several more times. But he still got the same response.
An elderly lady walked past at this time. She saw him standing in front of the door and kindly told him: “This store has already closed for several days. I saw the owner of the store circle around here daily, saying something about catching a cat. Young man, you don’t need to stand here waiting anymore.”
Catching a cat?
He Qian’s heart skipped. He hastily asked the elderly woman: “Hello, do you know where that owner went to catch the cat? Can you tell me?”
The elderly woman kindly pointed him to the direction of the park. He Qian picked up his briefcase and dashed off!
Sweet Pea!
You better be okay!
When he got to the park, he was almost scared to death! The dirty filthy cat that was held up in that store owner’s hand, if that wasn’t Sweet Pea, then which other cat could it be!
