This was the first time he saw He Qian with such a cold detached expression. In that moment, Sweet Pea froze where he stood, incapable of speaking.
Seeing him speechless, He Qian finally noticed some irregularities. He subconsciously went to check the eyes of “Rong Qing”. Crossing gazes, his heart shook violently!
Sweet Pea saw his expression change and suddenly realized something. He Qian called him ‘CEO Rong’ just now? But from Sweet Pea’s memories, wasn’t ‘CEO Rong’ the boss of the company where He Qian was working at now?
Feeling chaotic in an instant, Sweet Pea managed to grab on to one important thought.
No. he can’t let He Qian see him in his current state!
Thinking so, he turned his head and ran!
Seeing him turn and run off, He Qian blurted out “Wait!” in an attempt to detain him. Freezing for a second, he violently threw off his blankets.
Not right! That’s not ‘CEO Rong’! That’s his upperclassman! Those eyes! Belonged to his upperclassman!
Flipping out of the bed, He Qian fell to the floor with a loud bang. The tubing from the IV on the back of his hand tugged at the IV pole and pulled it clattering to the floor. Blood started to pour out in large amounts from the back of his hand.
Sweet Pea, who just ran a few steps away, halted and couldn’t resist looking back inside. With this glance, he was so scared his soul almost jumped out of his body!
In that brief time, the blood that poured out from the site of the needle spilled all over the floor! An extremely terrifying sight!
“You!” At this moment, how can Sweet Pea still care about running or not. He hastily pressed the bell for the nurse while hurrying back to help He Qian up.
The charge nurse just happened to be passing by. Walking in and nimbly cleaning up everything, the nurse showered the two people with reprimands: “You already have exhaustion from working overload and malnutrition. Now look at this mess. The vitamin shot that you just received might as well have gone to waste. Who knows how many chickens you’ll have to kill to get all of this nutrition back.”
Done scolding He Qian, the charge nurse went to glare at Sweet Pea: “You too. Since you bought your friend here, don’t you know his situation? Were you the one running around in the hallway just now? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know you’re in a hospital?”
The two people timidly nodded their heads, afraid to attract her fury again. After a while, they finally sent her off.
As soon as the charge nurse left, the room instantly fell into a weird silence.
He Qian wanted to look at the eyes of the man in front of him, but at the same time, he was somewhat scared. Three months. He’s been bothered by this thing for three months now.
In these three months, it felt like he was the only person who noticed that his upperclassman disappeared, only leaving behind a robot running on a present program.
Rong Corp expanded daily. His workload increased daily. And that upperclassman also became more lifeless daily. However, He Qian grew even more certain that, that person, definitely wasn’t his upperclassman. He Qian abruptly lifted his head.
If that person wasn’t his upperclassman, then this one in front of him…!
At this time, Sweet Pea also took a deep breath, opened his mouth…
…
And meowed.

In these three months, he’s been showered by his owner’s pampering. If he had to say there’s no affection, that’s not possible.
He took in another breath and then cautiously looked at He Qian: “Owner.”
He Qian was completely dumbfounded.
What…what was his upperclassman calling him?
Sweet Pea looked at him again and then suddenly let out a breath.
Even if he told He Qian the truth, the other shouldn’t chase him away, right?
He gathered his courage and then extended his hand to put it in He Qian’s palm. This was something he loved to do most as a cat.
Receiving a hand out of the blue, He Qian suddenly came back from his thoughts. He looked at the man in front of him and subconsciously grabbed his hand. Then, thinking about this man’s action just now, he cautiously called: “Sweet Pea?”
“It’s me.” Seeing He Qian finally comprehending, Sweet Pea let out a breath of relief. His face instantly relaxed.
He Qian furrowed his brows but quickly squeezed the hand tightly in his palm: “How did you turn into a human? Can you still change back? Will it affect your body somehow?”
Sweet Pea shook his head: “No, I don’t feel any problems.” He thought for a moment: “Just… not very used to a human body anymore.”
He Qian faintly narrowed his eyes.
Not very used to anymore? In other words, Sweet Pea was originally a human?
The questions that had been preoccupying his heart all this time suddenly resolved a whole bunch. He Qian’s insomnia lately has been caused by two things that he’s been thinking about nonstop.
The first, naturally, was his upperclassman’s change.
The second, was just what kind of thing switched souls with Sweet Pea.
He never thought that the most inconceivable answer was actually the most probable answer.
But then again, thinking about what he experienced in the last three months, He Qian felt that actually, this was nothing.
“How did you change into a human?” He Qian suddenly realized: “You were the one who brought me to the hospital, right?”
Sweet Pea nodded his head and briefly explained what happened. After speaking, he suddenly looked cautiously at He Qian’s expression: “The washroom door at home… I broke it..”
Before when he scratched the sofa, He Qian would occasionally get mad at him. Now that he broke the washroom door, would He Qian also get mad?
Seeing the caution in Sweet Pea’s eyes, He Qian suddenly felt… so what if it’s inconceivable. Be it his upperclassman, or Sweet Pea, they were both existences that he cherished.
“It’s okay. I know you were in a hurry.” He Qian shook his head and then asked Sweet Pea some more things. After he finished asking, he looked rather pensive.
“So what you’re saying is that you don’t remember who you were, but you’re certain you were a human before. And also, you suddenly turned into a cat three months ago?”
He calculated the time in his heart, then looked at the familiar face in front of him. If this was the case, then there’s no mistake. His Sweet Pea actually switched souls with his upperclassman.
Meanwhile, his upperclassman’s body was taken over by that ‘CEO Rong’. Then where did the original Sweet Pea go? Also, how did his upperclassman get possessed, and why did he lose his memories?
There were a lot of riddles unanswered in He Qian’s heart. On the contrary, it was Sweet Pea who thought for a moment and told him rather sadly: “When I first turned into a cat, I had a little feeling… like the original Sweet Pea must have died. That’s why I was able to occupy its body.”
And plus… he squeezed his fist. Ever since he brought He Qian over, he noticed that his body right now and the one in his memory was completely different.
His strength was very big. His body was nimble and flexible. Not like a human body, but more like a cat’s body.
So the original Sweet Pea really died?
He Qian looked at the person in front of him. The two fell into silence. After a while, He Qian energized himself.
Putting aside the thing about the original Sweet Pea momentarily, He Qian still has to tell him about the thing with his upperclassman.
When Sweet Pea finished listening to He Qian’s words, he felt like he was struck by lightning: “What you mean is… I’m your upperclassman, in other words, your boss…but someone stole my body?”
He Qian nodded his head and told him everything he discovered in these three months and his hypothesis about that ‘Rong Qing.’
His upperclassman has always been smarter than him. Hopefully he can come up with some ideas.
After listening, Sweet Pea felt extremely complicated inside.
However…
His brows furrowed: “If this is really true, that means I can’t win against the other thing. If he can squeeze out my soul without difficulty, and you’re the only person who noticed the abnormality, that means this definitely isn’t any ordinary thing.”
And him? Right now he was only a little kitty called Sweet Pea. He even needed to depend on He Qian to survive. He doesn’t have any of his past memories so he can’t even prove he was the original ‘Rong Qing.’
He Qian understood this reasoning but still felt a thick disappointment: “But if it’s like this, doesn’t that mean……”
something of unknown origins will be living in your body for the rest of your life?
His upperclassman was such an outstanding individual. Even if his life might not compare to that thing that seemed to be using life cheats, he still would have had a very bright and prosperous future. This kind of eye-catching and wonderful person……
…
Even though Sweet Pea also felt unwilling and bitter about this, but, what can he do?
They didn’t even know what that thing was. And he had no idea what he was supposed to do to get his body back.
After a moment of silence, He Qian suddenly felt somewhat awkward. Sweet Pea looked at him for a while and understood: “Do you need to go to the bathroom? Let me take you.”
As he spoke, he took down the IV and easily picked He Qian up. Freezing briefly, He Qian reflexively hooked his arms around Sweet Pea’s neck, then became extremely embarrassed a minute later: “No need. I can walk myself.”
Sweet Pea looked at him puzzled: “But when you got out just now, you got dizzy and fell.” And you knocked over the pillow, and bled a lot!
He Qian still felt very dizzy right now. He pressed his lips together and stopped fighting. Sweet Pea just brought him into the bathroom and put him down, when something unexpected happened.
The man suddenly disappeared. What appeared on the floor was some articles of clothing and… a kitty.
He Qian became dumbfounded.
Sweet Pea also was stunned.
After a long while, He Qian scrambled about and picked up the clothes. Meanwhile, Sweet Pea picked up a paw and looked at it in silence.
So… what exactly was the trigger to this shapeshifting?
One man and one cat stared at each other for a while. He Qian gave up first and went to the bathroom. Then, under Sweet Pea’s extremely concerned gaze, he shuffled little by little back to the bed.
“Oh? You can get out of bed yourself?” A nurse just happened to come over to inspect the IV bag and saw He Qian move. Changing the IV bag, she reminded him: “Since you’re awake, if you feel well enough, you can keep an eye out on the IV bag yourself. I know it’s inconvenient for you to be here by yourself, but the hospital is pretty busy right now. I will do my best to take the time to come check up, but it’s best you look yourself as well.”
As she said this, she headed out.
“Wait a second, nurse.” He Qian hastily called her.
The nurse turned her head: “What’s the matter? Is there anything else?”
He Qian’s expression carried a hint of alarm: “You just said… I’m by myself?”
The nurse glanced at him: “Yea. To be honest, you’re pretty lucky. Good thing you knew to call for an ambulance before you fainted. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened. However, if you have friends, then call your friends or family to come over.”
But…… I didn’t call the ambulance myself.
It was clearly my upperclassman who brought me over!
He Qian subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the cat in his arms. Sweet Pea also looked at him with his big round eyes.
The man and cat crossed gazes and had the same kind of thought.
This thought… made them tremble in terror.
Why did the genre switch to horror ?! I was reading this extra to have some sweet fluff damn. QAQ thank you for the translation and the trauma
