1.

Xu Zhou has a very smart cat.

He found the cat by accident, hiding in the garden mud in the rain, looking pretty pitiful. Xu Zhou, feeling soft-hearted, kidnapped the stray kitten and brought it home. After cleaning it up, he realized the cat had orange fur, green eyes, and a long tail, and it looked pretty cute. More importantly, the cat is super smart. It can open the water dispenser, pour its own cat food, flush the toilet, and even likes watching TV. When it’s bored, it even performs a backflip or two.

2.

The top student in the school is Jiang Ling, the handsome and cool academic god. Xu Zhou has secretly liked him for a long time, and recently, he noticed that Jiang Ling started getting closer to him. Although Xu Zhou is completely confused about the situation, he’s still thrilled and bites the hook.

3.

Xu Zhou, who has severe social anxiety, doesn’t really talk to anyone at school. Even though he’s so into Jiang Ling that just walking beside him for a bit makes him go home and spin in circles with his cat for an hour, he can’t say a word when standing in front of Jiang Ling. So, confessing gets dragged on and on.

4.

But Jiang Ling is really nice. He brings Xu Zhou breakfast, teaches him how to solve problems, and even helps him overcome obstacles and make friends with other classmates. They’re so in sync that when Xu Zhou mumbles the food he wants to eat the night before while holding his cat, Jiang Ling brings it to him the next day.

5.

After Xu Zhou repeatedly mumbles to his cat how great Jiang Ling is, and how much he likes him a hundred times, he finally gathers the courage one afternoon to stop Jiang Ling. “Can I invite you to my house? My cat can do a backflip.”

This novel is complete on Chrysanthemum Gardens.

I legit thought this novel would have so many 5 stars and gushing reviews, I am absolutely baffled at the nothing that is here. There are other novels with the trope of a character changing forms and accompanying another character and they fall in love, but this was a very unique take as the Main initial POV is not the cat but instead the MC who has no idea that the cat he picked up isn't what it seems. The POV does shift more... more>> between MC and ML, especially as the novel reaches its end. Best is we just skip the whole 'shock!horror' of a character realising they're not human and just jump in directly.

Xu Zhou is adorable and hilarious and the reason why he has such terrible anxiety is heart breaking. However, nothing keeps this baby down and he is just so full of life and energy and enthusiasm, all he needs is a little help. And he gets it from our Male Lead, who is also kinda adorable, a straight A student and will write entire plans on how to woo his beloved once he figures out his own feelings.

This was a wonderfully cute and feel good novel, full of good kids, a cat (who may call him Your Meowjesty) and a short novel so no lagging or dull moments.

5/5 the inner monologue of Xu Zhou is fantastic and deserves an accolade on its own. <<less

This short novel is absolutely priceless. The MC is has extreme social anxiety and shuts himself out to the world but around anything besides humans he’s super chatty like a completely different person. His inner monologue is hilarious totally something you would not expect from the way he acts in school. The ML is the one who slowly brings him out of his shell and slowly realizes he’s fallen in love with him. Super cute!
