A Lovely Girl Turning into a Rat

It was winter already. A blast of hot air came from the fireplace and filled the room with warmth.

Juxian and Ji Jing weren’t offended by the return of Ci; on the contrary, they were cheerful. “Look at the rat. It’s so ugly.”

Yang Zhen prized Ci’s mouth open and smiled, “Different from other rats, this rat had a hairy mouth.”

Ji Jing cradled Nimazu in her arms and said, “Master, I want to know if this rat is afraid of the cat in your arms.”

Ci lay huddled up on the floor at Nima’s feet, shivering in fear. The big tabby cat in Nima’s arms jumped down and chased Ci in the room. Before long, it caught her and snapped at her leg. Its sharp teeth pierced and sank into her flesh, and blood immediately started to ooze out. The cat promptly let go of her, and ran away with its mouth full of blood.

Although Ci looked like a rat, her flesh didn’t taste anything like the rat meat. Cats were very smart animals and knew when to give up and run away. So cats had been and were in people’s good graces.

The wound stopped bleeding, and Ci curled up in a tight ball at Nima’s feet.

She rarely squeaked because no one could understand her.

She lingered on with her last breath of life and went on living in pain.

In the daytime she listened to people around chattering away about everything under the sun. At night she nimbly eluded cats. When Nima was in bad mood, she kept away from him. When Nima was smiling, she crept towards him. ‘That’s enough. I’m destined to suffer,’ Ci thought.

For an ill-fated person, she had to bear intense suffering wherever she was.

Nima grew accustomed to living with the strange “rat”. The long hair covered its eyes. Nima cropped its hair and found that it had beautiful eyes. It especially liked Ci’s room and spent several hours there every day.

‘It’s indeed a rarity,’ he thought. Then, he squatted down to stroke its smooth back. It was the first time he touched this “rat”.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ci rubbed against his hand with her head and rolled on the floor.

Nima rose to his feet and said, “You are so smart. Can you tell me where she is?”

Ci started shouting but Nima couldn’t understand her. He was not God. So he went out. God was able to understand what she said but could do nothing to help her.

Nidazu was learning to talk. He babbled happily and crawled on his hands and knees on the floor. Children liked animals by nature. To some extent, children were small animals. He chased Ci and reached out to tweak her ear. Ci didn’t try to dodge; instead, she played with him.

Ji Jing’s face changed drastically and she quickly picked up her son. “If you bite him, I’ll throw you out to feed cats. As we all know, cats like to hunt mice.” Scared, Ci rushed to the courtyard and got quickly into another room.

To mice, cats were the most horrible animals in the world.

As the days went on, Nima still didn’t know that the strange large rat by his side was the woman he had been looking for. People who knew the truth didn’t want to tell him. Even if they told him the truth, he wouldn’t believe it. Even if he believed it, he wouldn’t have the courage to face up to it.

Nidazu was playing with snow in the courtyard. Ci was accustomed to being treated as a rat in Nima Mansion. The man she loved was close at hand. Although he cared nothing for her, she would rather stay by his side than be separated from him by death.

Ji Jing began to feel terrified. She went to consult with Ju Juxian and Yang Zhen. Finally, in order to prevent themselves from further worry, they decided to kill Ci.

One day, Nima saw that the huge rat was crazily chasing his son and trying to bite him. What he didn’t know was that Nimazu had some delicious jerky in his pocket. It was Yang Zhen’s idea, a wonderful idea.

Nima stepped on Ci’s stomach with all his strength. A section of her red small intestine was exposed to the air. She took a deep breath and her small intestine automatically retracted into her body.

“Master, I’m dying.” Ci looked up at Nima sadly.

Only cats could understand what mice said. Nima couldn’t understand her.

“Oh my God! How dared you to hurt my son!” Ji Jing rushed over and picked up Nidazu. “Master, this rat is a threat to Nidazu’s life!”

With that she secretly pinched Nidazu’s hand hard.

Nidazu burst into tears.

Nima grasped Ci’s neck, lifted her off the ground, and then threw her aside with all his strength. “Lock it up in the kitchen.”
