Xie Zhuzhou got married before National Day, and they planned to take a short honeymoon during the precious holiday.
The following day, the two flew directly to a mysterious island far from the mainland.
Exhausted from his journey, Xie Zhuzhou slept soundly until dawn after getting off the plane. When he woke up, he found that his hands had turned into a pair of cat paws wearing white gloves! And the paw pads were pink!
And lying beside him was a snow-white wolf!
" Chu Yanzhang, where are you?!" Xie Zhuzhou realized that all he could say was a soft, meowing sound.
Time travel is already mind-blowing enough, but now they've turned into animals! What are they going to do?!
Since he's turned into a cat, could the wolf beside him be Chu Yanzhang?!
Xie Zhuzhou sat up in bed, cursing and swearing, all he could hear were whimpering and meowing.
He is currently very panicked and fearful, and he is not used to walking on all fours, even walking with the wrong gait.
With a light leap, he landed on the wolf's back and patted its nose with his paw.
Only then did the white wolf slowly open its eyes.
Chu Yanzhang gradually woke up and found an adorable black and white cat in his field of vision. He didn't know how a cat had appeared in his and Zhouzhou's room. He was about to turn around and shoo the cat away.
Something seemed off.
He slowly sat up and realized that his hands and feet had all turned into furry paws, like dog paws?
Chu Yanzhang stared in disbelief.
How did I turn into a dog?!
"You idiot, you've turned into a wolf!" The cow cat was meowing, but the white wolf miraculously understood!
Chu Yanzhang was stunned. He could actually understand the cat's voice, and it was even his wife Zhouzhou's voice!
" Zhouzhou, is that cat you?!"
"It's me! Damn it, why did you turn into a majestic wolf while I became a cow cat?!" Xie Zhuzhou collapsed off Chu Yanzhang, stood upright, and rubbed his cat face with his paws.
"What should we do!" Xie Zhuzhou didn't know why things had turned out this way, and just hoped that this was a dream and he would wake up soon.
But he didn't wake up. After a few seconds, he was still a cat!
Chu Yanzhang growled, his voice automatically transforming into his own as Xie Zhuzhou spoke, " Zhouzhou, don't worry, we'll think of a way, we can definitely change it back!"
Although Chu Yanzhang appeared optimistic, he was filled with doubt and unease. He gently nudged Xie Zhuzhou with his nose, trying to comfort him, "Don't panic, let's calm down and think about whether we've encountered anything strange recently."
Xie Zhuzhou tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything unusual. He meowed, "We're just here on our honeymoon, what's wrong with us!"
Just then, an elderly man dressed in traditional local clothing appeared out of nowhere!
He saw the two animals in the room, but he didn't seem surprised. Instead, he smiled slightly and whispered a few incantations in an ancient language.
Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang felt a blur before their eyes, and their bodies suddenly returned to human form. Still shaken, they looked at each other, confirming that they had both returned to their original appearances.
The old man smiled and nodded, saying in fluent English, "Gentlemen, it seems you have already experienced our island's unique ' Animal Dream.' This is an ancient magic here, which can only be triggered by couples who are truly in love."
Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected this to be a magic island!
Xie Zhuzhou asked warily, "How do we know you're telling the truth and not lying to us? And how did you get into our room? Who are you?!"
The old man didn't explain his identity, but continued, "This magic is for couples to strengthen their bond."
You are lucky to have recovered in such a short time, but... the effects will last for a week. During this week, you will turn into animals during the day and only turn back into humans at night.
Chu Yanzhang's eyes lit up. "So, Animal Dream can enhance feelings?"
Chu Yanzhang seized upon the point he wanted to know and asked it.
"Yes, you will face some challenges this week, but I hope that you, who truly love each other, will have a wonderful experience."
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared from the room without a trace.
After he disappeared, Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang transformed back into a cow-and-cat and a snow wolf.
Xie Zhuzhou was still annoyed. "I'm clearly stronger, so why am I not a wolf?!"
Chu Yanzhang pressed his wolf head down onto Xie Zhuzhou's cat head, "The calico cat is also very powerful, a strongman in the animal kingdom, and a very righteous cat!"
Xie Zhuzhou: "... Are you serious?"
"In my heart, Zhouzhou is the most amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou stood up with satisfaction. "Never mind, I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast first."
Chu Yanzhang nudged Xie Zhuzhou with his nose, signaling him to follow him. They walked out of the room one after the other and arrived at the resort's small restaurant.
Several couples were already seated in the restaurant, but the animals were actually all animals, including one that had turned into a capybara.
They saw a cow-patterned cat and a snow wolf walk in, and they all cast curious glances at them.
Xie Zhuzhou tried his best to remain calm, but walking on four legs still made him a little clumsy. After discovering that the people around him had also turned into animals, he felt that turning into a cat was not so bad, at least he wasn't a pig.
Look, there's a cow in the corner carrying a tortoise in its mouth!
Xie Zhuzhou actually thought that becoming an agile cat was already pretty good!
Just then, a huge brown bear slowly walked up to them and said in a deep voice, "Newcomers? You look unfamiliar." Xie Zhuzhou was startled and almost fell off his chair. Chu Yanzhang blocked Xie Zhuzhou's path with his body, growling softly, trying to warn the bear not to come closer.
The brown bear didn't seem to mind, instead grinning and revealing sharp teeth. "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to remind you that there are some rules to follow here. For example, don't wander off, or you might run into some 'uninvited guests'."
Xie Zhuzhou meowed unhappily, "What uninvited guest?"
The brown bear winked mysteriously. "You'll find out eventually. But don't worry, as long as you don't cause trouble, it's still safe here."
Chu Yanzhang gently touched Xie Zhuzhou with his nose, signaling him to calm down.
Then he turned to the brown bear and asked in a deep voice, "Can you tell us more about this island? Like, why did we turn into animals?"
The brown bear shook its head. "I only know that this is traditional magic on the island, but I don't know the specific reason. However, since you were able to trigger the ' Animal Dream,' it means your relationship is very special. Enjoy this time; it will be an unforgettable experience for you."
Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang exchanged a glance. Although they still had doubts, they could only take it one step at a time for now.
They quickly finished their breakfast and decided to go back to their room to discuss their next move.
Back in his room, Xie Zhuzhou couldn't help but complain, "Why can't we become tigers and leopards?! Cats are too small; what if we encounter a malicious couple..."
