When the Tsundere Rival Turns Into a Cat

Li Xingcan VS Jiang Qingyue

In Li Xingcan’s life of over a decade, she had always gotten whatever she wanted—until a transfer student named Jiang Qingyue appeared in her class. From their very first encounter, the two became sworn enemies, with Jiang Qingyue constantly making trouble for her.

If Li Xingcan slept in class, Jiang Qingyue would report her to the teacher.

If Li Xingcan didn’t turn in her homework, Jiang Qingyue would report her to the teacher.

If Li Xingcan played with her phone in class, Jiang Qingyue would still report her to the teacher!

Staring at her confiscated phone, Li Xingcan had finally had enough of this tattletale.

“Are you done yet?!” Li Xingcan exploded.

“You can report me too if you want. Be my guest,” Jiang Qingyue replied expressionlessly.

The little snitch had excellent grades and impeccable conduct, leaving Li Xingcan no flaws to exploit—but that didn’t mean she was out of options.

“Accidentally” bumping into Jiang Qingyue’s desk, Li Xingcan knocked over her water bottle. Watching the other girl’s books and homework soak, Li Xingcan smirked lazily. “Oops, sorry~”

Seeing the vein throbbing on Jiang Qingyue’s forehead, Li Xingcan felt thoroughly satisfied.

Back and forth they went, neither yielding an inch. Though their feud was brief, their hatred ran deep—so deep that they nearly came to blows, saved only by the timely arrival of summer break.

Li Xingcan thought she’d finally be free of the tattletale during vacation, only to see Jiang Qingyue in her own home that very evening!

Her father introduced Jiang Qingyue’s mother as the widow of his dearest friend, now relocated to Jiang City, and insisted they take good care of the mother and daughter.

Just like that, Jiang Qingyue became an unwelcome addition to Li Xingcan’s private villa for the entire holiday.

Let’s see who outlasts whom!

If Jiang Qingyue woke up at 6 AM for morning exercises, Li Xingcan would bang on her drums at 3 AM.

If Jiang Qingyue listened to English vocabulary in the living room, Li Xingcan would move her computer there and blast game sounds at full volume.

If Jiang Qingyue did homework in her room, Li Xingcan would throw an all-night party with a bunch of friends.

The next day, Jiang Qingyue “accidentally” broke Li Xingcan’s Lego set, and Li Xingcan burned Jiang Qingyue’s freshly completed test papers.

Amid their escalating war, Jiang Qingyue suddenly disappeared.

Li Xingcan searched for two days but found no trace of her—only an injured stray cat.

The following day, Jiang Qingyue returned on her own, refusing to say where she’d been and acting stranger by the day.

Then, at the end of the holiday, while Li Xingcan lounged in bed watching a movie with the cat in her arms, the feline suddenly poofed into Jiang Qingyue.

Li Xingcan/Jiang Qingyue: “…”

Locking eyes, Li Xingcan took in Jiang Qingyue’s flushed face and understood everything.

Mini Scene:

After returning to school, Li Xingcan and Jiang Qingyue miraculously stopped fighting, leaving everyone baffled. Still, to be safe, their homeroom teacher decided to separate them by seat.

Li Xingcan: “Actually… keeping them the same is fine too.”

#Is she blushing because she likes me?#
#If she likes me this much, have I gone too far?#

Much later, Jiang Qingyue heard rumors that she had been the one secretly crushing on Li Xingcan, relentlessly pursuing her until Li Xingcan reluctantly agreed to be with her.

Jiang Qingyue: “?”

One-Sentence Summary: She actually had a crush on me?!
