Spring sunlight is warm and gentle, shining on people's cheeks, bringing a pleasant comfort. The breeze blows gently, just like a naughty kid's kiss, making people feel so soft and cozy that their moods can't help but turn pleasant.

In this quiet villa area, Leon's figure appears, adding a bit of vitality. Behind him, a staff member carrying a black camera follows closely. Obviously, they are recording a program. Leon tilts his head slightly and walks steadily. He is in the last episode of the program recording. Today is the last day, and there is inevitably a bit of reluctance in his heart. At first, he wasn't very interested in this childcare program. After all, it was his agent who took it for him, saying it was to add some fun to his dull life.

Leon is wearing a casual black sweatshirt, which doesn't match the mature image of a 28 - year - old. Instead, the sweatshirt makes him look a few years younger. There is still no expression on his face, his lips are slightly pursed, and his deep eyes are staring ahead.

Suddenly, a "meow" breaks the silence, and Leon stops. It turns out to be the little cat Sophie. She carefully observes the surroundings and dares to meow softly only when she makes sure there is no one around. She wants to come out and sunbathe. But just as she takes a small step, a black shadow shrouds her.

Sophie raises her head, her big, round, black eyes looking at the giant in front of her, and is instantly stunned. Is this Le... Le... Le... Leon? She blinks and confirms again. It's really Leon!

Leon stares at her for a while, then squats down and reaches out to touch this snow - white little cat. Her body is soft, and the touch is very comfortable. Leon's voice is deep, with a unique local timbre: "The little cat is quite cute." At this moment, his eyes are gentle, and the whole person seems to have taken off his usual defenses and become gentle and loving.

Sophie can't help but meow again and rubs her head affectionately against Leon's palm. In fact, Sophie is a die - hard fan of Leon. Since high school, her phone has been filled with thousands of various photos of Leon. The songs she listens to, the TV dramas and variety shows she watches are all Leon's. However, a few days ago, she passed away unexpectedly, and now she has possessed a cat.

Sophie, who has been wandering for many days, is greedy for the warmth of Leon's palm and is reluctant to leave. But the cameraman is a bit anxious. This kind of sudden shot should only take more than ten seconds, but now three minutes have passed. He coughs lightly and reminds: "Brother Leon, the program is still being recorded."

Leon listens, looks at the cat enjoying the touch, and rarely laughs softly, saying: "Little cat, you stay here. I'll go and be busy first. Goodbye."

Although reluctant, Sophie can only watch Leon leave. Just as she is about to hide back in the thick bushes again, a voice suddenly rings in her mind: "Hello, welcome to the Short - Legged Cat System."

Sophie is startled. Her short legs lean forward and she directly tumbles, falling and getting her head covered in yellow mud, looking dirty. "Who are you?" She wants to scratch her head, but her claws are too short to reach, so she can only shake her head to shake off some of the mud.

These days, Sophie has encountered a lot of strange things. Since she possessed a cat after death, she has found everything incredible. So at this moment, she can only pretend to be calm and talk to the voice in her mind.

"Hello, I'm the system assigned to you, called the Short - Legged Cat System. Now I remind you that your big task is to follow the person who touched your head first these days home, or your legs will become shorter."

Sophie is shocked. She lowers her head to look at her already short legs and thinks: It's already hard to scratch an itch, and they'll get shorter? "What if I don't follow him home?" she asks with a glimmer of hope.

The Short - Legged Cat System replies coldly: "Then you will face another tragic way of death."

"Fo' example?"

The Short - Legged Cat System sneers: "A few kids will come later. They will pluck the hair off your body and then slowly boil you to eat..."

"Stop it." Sophie wants to cover her ears with her paws but can't because her legs are too short. She suppresses her shock and continues to ask: "Can I ask why I became a cat?"

This time, the voice of the Short - Legged Cat System has a bit of warmth. It says with a bit of regret: "Because you died a terrible death, silly."

"Ah?" Sophie tries hard to recall. How did she die terribly?

The Short - Legged Cat System seems to be able to see through her thoughts and reminds again: "Don't think too much. If you don't go after the person who just touched your head, he will be out of sight."

Sophie has no time to think. She drags her chubby and short legs and hurries to catch up with Leon.

Out of breath, she finally reaches Leon's side. Leon looks down at this snow - white cat and is a bit surprised: "Why did you follow me?"

Sophie can't speak. She can only lean closer to his leg, acting like she's being coquettish. Leon's lips curl up slightly, and his eyes are full of smiles. This scene surprises the cameraman following behind. Leon usually has a good personality and doesn't put on airs, but he talks little and his work style is rather strict, so colleagues don't dare to talk to him much. Unexpectedly, he is so gentle when treating a cat. The tenderness in his eyes is as if he is treating some precious thing with great care.

Although Sophie has short legs, she is very cute, chubby, with short legs, deep - black eyes that seem bottomless, and fluffy white fur that is particularly attractive. Sophie strained to stretch out her little claws and gave Leon's shoe a gentle nudge. Then, she wriggled her little butt and shuffled forward a step, plopping down right on top of Leon's foot and staying put.

Leon looked down at her and couldn't help bursting out laughing. If he took a step back, the cat would tumble right off his instep. But right then, he just stood there, gazing quietly at the little feline. Even the cameraman, who wasn't usually into animals, couldn't resist saying, "This cat is so darn cute. Looks like she's taken a shine to you, huh?"

Leon let out a soft chuckle, glancing around. "Think this could be someone's pet that snuck out?"

"Nah, we've been filming here for half a month, and we ain't seen no cat around," someone replied.

Leon thought for a sec, then bent down and scooped up the cat. "Let her tag along for now. You guys can ask around later."

"Sure thing." A production assistant stepped forward, trying to take the cat so Leon could keep filming. But as soon as the assistant reached out, Sophie dodged and burrowed deeper into Leon's arms, looking all shy. The staff around were green - with envy.

"Leon, bro?" the production assistant asked, seeking guidance.

Leon looked at the cat nestled against his chest, pondered for a bit, then turned to the staff. "Is it okay if she's in the shot?"

The female production assistant blushed and mumbled softly, "N - no problem."

So, Leon carried on filming, and Sophie tagged along. Her funny, wobbly run with those short legs had the staff in stitches. Sophie was fuming inside. She had no clue what they were laughing at. Ugh, why was she stuck with short legs both when she was human and now as a cat? "Because you're just short - legged." The Short - Legged Cat System mocks coldly.

Sophie retorts unwillingly: "If you had long legs, you wouldn't be the Short - Legged Cat System. You're short - legged too, right?"

The Short - Legged Cat System threatens: "... Do you still want to turn back into a human?"

Sophie is very surprised: "!!! Can I really turn back into a human?"

The Short - Legged Cat System affirms: "Of course you can recover."

Sophie asks hurriedly: "Then how can I recover?"

The Short - Legged Cat System chuckles twice: "Obey my commands. Do as I say, and you might turn back into a human."

Sophie complains: "... Are all systems so shameless?"

The Short - Legged Cat System says straightforwardly: "Of course not." It pauses for a moment, "Just me."

Just as Sophie is about to ask something else, she is suddenly picked up by Leon and prepared to be put into the car. She half - closes her eyes and enjoys it. Just as she wants to rest in her male god's arms and digest the newly received information, the voice of the Short - Legged Cat System rings in her mind again.

"The first task, fart on your male god's leg."

Sophie can't believe it: "... Don't I have any dignity?"

The Short - Legged Cat System says coolly: "Dignity or life, you choose."
