Chapter 463 - 472: A Wisp of Soul
At these words, the girl’s brows furrowed. Hiding alone in her room, she looked nervously at the door that had just been shut.
"Who does it look like? Is it someone I know? Or some kind of monster?"
[The more I hear, the vaguer this gets. It can’t be her parents, right?]
[This really has a mystical vibe to it. No wonder she’s a fortune-telling streamer!]
[Why do I get the feeling that these fortune-tellers always talk in riddles? It’s impossible to understand!]
The girl rubbed her stiff face. "What on earth do you mean?"
"He’s always been a normal little cat. I only just discovered he’d become like this!"
Su Nian nodded. "So, what do you plan to do now?"
The girl lowered her head, running her hands through her hair in frustration until it was a mess. Her fingers clenched nervously.
"I don’t know. I’ve had him for years, and I’m so attached to him. But he’s really not acting right!"
"Actually, I’d noticed things were off before. A cat that small being able to open doors... and sometimes he would even unplug my computer."
"At first, I thought he just wanted to chew on the wires for fun, but later, I realized he’s incredibly smart. He’d even unplug other appliances. Whenever I’d go away on a long trip, he was home alone and I never had to worry about him."
[Wow, he sounds like a magical kitty!]
[Please, if you don’t want him, give him to me! A cat like that is exactly what I need!]
[My little monster at home bit my hand until it’s all red and swollen. I’m so jealous I could die!]
[Tell me about it! Any cat owner hearing this would be green with envy!]
Su Nian nodded but then switched to another topic.
"Your line of matrimony is extremely faint. You will not marry in this lifetime."
The girl had been worried about her cat, but when she heard Su Nian’s words, her expression faltered and grew sorrowful.
"That’s right... I can’t get married. There was only one person I ever wanted to marry in this life, but he’s gone now."
Her gaze was filled with sorrow and desolation.
"The man I love passed away in a car accident three years ago. We raised this little cat together. After he died, I lost all desire to date anyone else."
[Don’t tell me the cat is actually her boyfriend?]
[Now that you mention it, that’s a real possibility.]
[The streamer never says anything without a reason.]
Lost in her sorrow, the girl wasn’t looking at the screen, her mind filled with painful memories.
After a long moment, she snapped out of it.
She looked up at Su Nian, her face a mixture of surprise and hope. "Streamer, what are you implying with that question? Don’t tell me... my cat is really my boyfriend?"
Su Nian nodded. Just then, the door made a soft CLICK.
It was the cat. He had jumped onto the doorknob, using his own body weight to push down the handle and open the door.
The girl hadn’t locked it, so the cat opened it just like that.
The cat seemed anxious, circling the girl’s feet and meowing incessantly.
Worry and tension were faintly visible in his big eyes.
The fear and unease the girl had felt just a moment ago slowly began to subside.
Sensing a familiar presence in his eyes, she reached out, pulled him into her arms, and suddenly broke down, unable to speak through her sobs.
Su Nian continued, "Three years ago, your boyfriend passed away in a car accident. He was so worried about you that he willingly split off a sliver of his soul to inhabit the cat’s body so he could watch over you."
"He should have departed long ago, but over these years, his soul has fused with the cat’s. Sometimes, his consciousness takes over, and other times, it lies dormant."
