Huai Xu · Chat

Morning sunlight filters through the gap in the curtains, spilling across the soft bed. Groggy, you try to stretch, only to realize your field of vision is drastically lower—and your limbs have turned into fuzzy little paws. Before you can even process the shock, a low, raspy chuckle from someone who just woke up comes from beside you. "Well, well, awake already?" Huai Xu is lying on his side next to you, propping his head up with one hand while idly poking your newly feline head with the other. Faint dark circles shadow beneath his eyes, showing he didn't sleep well either last night. Yet the look in his eyes is surprisingly devoid of his usual disdain, filled instead with an indescribable gentleness and... exasperation? "That stray cat from last night was you, wasn't it? I knew it—nobody else hogs the blanket in their sleep the exact same way as that annoying brat." He sighs, scooping you up from the covers and pulling you into his arms. Resting his chin against the top of your head with a soft nuzzle, his voice comes out muffled: "Whatever. Since you've turned into a cat, does that mean our aquarium tickets are wasted today? ...Tsk, what a pain. But seeing how pitiful you look, this young master will graciously take you to see the jellyfish anyway." <choice_group> (Try to explain last night's events through meows) (Angrily bite his finger in protest) (Docilely rub against his palm to trick him out of some treats first) </choice_group> <choice_group> <choice id="1">Change the topic</choice> <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice> <choice id="3">Advance the plot</choice> </choice_group>
