Don't cry, kitty.

Because of love, one cannot move forward, and also because of love, there is a path to take.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear a faint "meow" buried in the bustling crowd and rushing traffic, a sound that grips the heart with its tenderness.

The city is vast, but for Ah-Si, whose family was not well-off and who no longer wanted to rely on her father after her mother's death, dropping out of school was her last resort. Through Big Sister Anna, who took good care of her at the night market, Ah-Si found a job as a kindergarten teacher. Even if Teacher Hu, whom the children jokingly called "old spinster," disliked her, and even if she carelessly attracted a wild cat that stole food at the kindergarten... Ah-Si still persevered with ordinary grit.

Walking home after work wasn't for romantic pleasure; it was just to save money. But as she walked, she was reminded of the streams and embankments of her childhood. Here, she encountered a brown-orange kitten with white front paws, like cute little mittens. The kitten had no dinner, so Ah-Si couldn't help but feed it something. This seemingly simple connection, however, never led to the kitten getting a name. The emotions brewing in Ah-Si's heart were more than just fondness; they were unresolvable thoughts.

She could only keep the kitten company because she was afraid. Afraid of loss, afraid of tragedy, and this sadness constantly beckoned the most private corners of Ah-Si's heart.

Ah-Si hoped someone would adopt the kitten, but after she posted a message on an online adoption forum, the kitten that had waited for her rain or shine no longer appeared. She waited, worried, and comforted herself. But the untouched cat food can on the grass looked lonely.

At the same time, Ah-Si suddenly discovered that the cat abuse incident that caused a stir on the forum was related to the brown-orange kitten! Nearly nauseated, she prayed that it had nothing to do with her kitten, but the nightmare confirmed her worries—the cat abuser had found her kitten.

Panicked and desperate, her pleas were fragmented. Ah-Si thought she was losing everything. But this world is never just about one person.

Teacher Hu was the first to help Ah-Si. The power of the internet brought people from all walks of life together, regardless of whether they knew each other, all acting to save the cat. Ah-Si wiped away her tears and bravely rose to search for the kitten. This time, she hoped to do something herself.

Anna helped search even while eating a scallion pancake; Little Lily and Ou-Yang Kuan, whom she met online, were also by her side; the veteran police officer who always helped her avoid tickets, the enthusiastic rookie police officer; and so many others she had never met but who cared deeply about a life, all hoped to rescue this abused kitten.

Everyone had already extended a helping hand, and the kitten had gently given her a "meow" at the very beginning. How could Ah-Si give up?

The abuser's whereabouts were finally caught, and Ah-Si seized the fleeting opportunity. She knew the kitten was waiting for her, waiting for her to save it!

Even if the situation she was stepping into was one she had to face...

— "Hey, little cat, what should I name you?"
