Brother, you smell good - 99

 

| BYSG | Birthday Wish | 99 | End

Today is Cheng Mofei's birthday.

Last night, right at midnight, the two of them indulged until late at night. Cheng Mofei personally unwrapped his birthday gift and thoroughly enjoyed every part of it.

When Shen Yu groggily woke up in the morning, he found himself completely curled up in Cheng Mofei’s arms.

…Wait a minute, something feels off.

Even if Cheng Mofei, a true northerner, had a large build, there’s no way a full-grown adult male like him could fit entirely into his embrace.

Shen Yu looked down at himself.

Pink little paws, soft white fur with faint gray stripes, a tiny round tail no bigger than a dot, and white whiskers gently trembling with each breath.

??!!

How—how—how did he turn into a little hamster?!

The little round ears on Shen Yu's head instantly perked up, his beady eyes filled with confusion and shock. He was completely petrified.

Seeing that Cheng Mofei was still asleep, the little hamster immediately pressed its tiny face against his and patted it with its paws.

Still didn’t wake up.

The little hamster then rubbed its soft fur quickly against his cheek.

Still no response.

Squeak! The little hamster tried to speak, but could only make squeaky hamster noises, he had no way to form human words anymore.

After a few seconds of mental breakdown, the little hamster's eyes landed on the phone lying beside the pillow. He immediately scrambled over using both paws and feet.

Fortunately, hamster paws could still operate the touch screen. Shen Yu successfully unlocked the phone.

It was Cheng Mofei’s phone, and the lock screen was still a photo from their college days, Shen Yu holding Momo.

Staring at the light gray little hamster in the lock screen photo, Shen Yu felt he probably looked more or less exactly like Momo now.

Shen Yu immediately opened the alarm clock app on the phone.

“Brother, give me a hug, tell me what's on your mind…”

That familiar BGM ringtone suddenly started playing.

Cheng Mofei jolted awake, blinking groggily as he opened his eyes.

The BGM was set by Shen Yu, who said this song could motivate him to get up, so they'd been using it ever since.

And honestly, it worked pretty well.

But… he clearly remembered it was the weekend today, and Shen Yu didn’t have any classes. They shouldn’t have set any alarms.

Cheng Mofei squinted, his vision still unfocused, and instinctively reached out to grab the ringing phone.

Unexpectedly, his hand grasped something warm and soft.

Cheng Mofei was startled, sleep fled from him instantly. He quickly let go and leaned in to take a closer look.

A pair of glossy, beady eyes locked onto his. The little ears that had been folded down perked up instantly.

Cheng Mofei couldn’t help but blurt out a “What the hell” in his heart.

His dream from last night… came true?!

…

Last night, Cheng Mofei had a dream.

In it, a voice said to him: “Happy birthday. When you wake up, your lover will have turned into a little hamster for one week. Don’t worry, everything will return to normal after seven days.”

“Squeak.” The little hamster tilted his tiny head after hearing his explanation.

Clearly, this whole thing was too fantastical, most people wouldn’t be able to accept it just like that.

But then again, considering the fact that they had already been reborn once, suddenly turning into a hamster for a week didn’t seem all that weird...

Maybe there really was some unknown hand behind the scenes, manipulating their world.

“Grrrrumble—”

It was getting late, and Cheng Mofei’s stomach was starting to growl.

The little hamster also patted his own empty belly with his tiny paws and let out a “Squeak”—he was hungry too.

Cheng Mofei immediately grabbed his phone and ordered a hearty breakfast.

While waiting for the food to arrive, he took the little hamster with him to the bathroom. Along the way, he couldn’t resist planting several kisses on the hamster’s soft belly and back. The little hamster had to use all four paws to push his mouth away.

So, while Cheng Mofei washed up, the little hamster diligently used his paws to groom his fur.

Maybe it was due to some strange, irresistible force, but after turning into a hamster, Shen Yu adapted surprisingly well.

After finishing his morning routine, Cheng Mofei specially picked out a shirt with a front pocket, so he could tuck the little hamster inside and bring him wherever he went.

“Meow~”

As soon as the bedroom door opened, an orange cat rubbed its way over.

Because of last night’s intense activities in the bedroom, the two had left their kitten shut outside.

Worried that the cat might bully the now-hamster-sized Shen Yu, Cheng Mofei gave it some thought and called Ning Yuan, asking her to take care of the kitten for a week.

After graduating, Ning Yuan adopted a Westie. She had once gone on a trip with friends and left the dog in their care. During that time, the little dog and their kitten got along great and they often slept curled up together.

Their kitten was well-socialized, as they often took it out and had even brought it to Ning Yuan’s place before.

Ning Yuan readily agreed.

With the kitten settled and their stomachs full, Cheng Mofei immediately went on a shopping spree for hamster supplies, setting up a luxurious little “villa” just for Shen Yu.

Now that Shen Yu had turned into a little hamster, there was no way he could safely sleep in the same bed anymore. Cheng Mofei was a restless sleeper, and if he rolled over on him, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Everything was delivered express and arrived the same day.

While Cheng Mofei was assembling the “villa,” little hamster Shen Yu lay sprawled out on a soft mat nearby, watching him in total comfort, melting into a relaxed, pancake-shaped ball of fluff.

Watching this scene, Shen Yu couldn’t help but be reminded of many years ago, back in their university days, when Cheng Mofei had assembled a cage for Momo just like this.

In the blink of an eye, so many years had already passed.

Of course, Shen Yu wasn’t a real hamster. Cheng Mofei setting up a cage for him was simply to give him a personal little room, a space that felt secure and cozy. The cage door was always left open, so he could come and go freely.

Inside the cage were all kinds of climbing toys, a mounted phone holder so the little hamster could lie in his nest and watch videos, and even an oversized running wheel.

Curious, hamster-Shen Yu tried it out for fun and to his surprise, once he started running, he couldn’t stop. The more he ran, the more into it he got. His tiny paws were moving so fast they were practically a blur.

No wonder Momo used to play on the wheel all the time.

No hamster can resist the temptation of a running wheel!

At first, Cheng Mofei watched with delight, completely absorbed in how adorable it was. He took tons of photos and videos.

Twenty or thirty minutes later…

“You’ve been running this long and you’re not tired?” Cheng Mofei reached out and gently poked the little hamster’s raised tail.

The little hamster ignored him.

“Take a break, baby,” Cheng Mofei said, propping up his chin with one hand and letting out a yawn.

Still no response from the hamster.

At this rate, with all this training, it wouldn’t be long before he turned into a jacked, muscle-bound hamster.

Finally, Cheng Mofei couldn’t take it anymore. He forcibly scooped the little hamster off the running wheel and looked at him with a pitiful expression, his voice filled with obvious grievance: “It’s my birthday today, keep me company.”

The little hamster blinked his beady eyes and only then belatedly remembered this important occasion. At last, he gave up on his beloved new toy, the running wheel.

Compared to the wheel, of course, Cheng Mofei mattered more.

Originally, Cheng Mofei had planned to spend his birthday night rolling in the sheets with Shen Yu again, he had even secretly bought a few outfits in Shen Yu’s size. But now that Shen Yu had turned into a little hamster, all those plans had clearly gone down the drain.

However, Cheng Mofei soon discovered something even more entertaining.

It started when he took hamster-Shen Yu out for a stroll and happened to pass by a boutique selling doll clothes.

Cheng Mofei glanced at the tiny-sized dresses… then at the little hamster poking his head out of the chest pocket on his shirt… and immediately got an idea.

Under the wide-eyed stare of a certain hamster, Cheng Mofei picked out a big pile of the smallest-sized doll dresses and walked over to the register to pay.

The cashier was a young woman, and when she scanned Cheng Mofei’s items, she couldn’t help but freeze for a second. But she was professional enough not to let her shock show.

Hmm… A man with a girlish heart. Totally normal.

Cheng Mofei, on the other hand, looked completely unfazed.

After all, no one here knew him.

A certain little hamster: “…”

The little hamster burrow completely into the shirt pocket.

He couldn't bear to look.

Back home, Cheng Mofei couldn’t wait to pull the little hamster out of his pocket and begin his birthday-exclusive “dress-up mini-game.”

Worried that Shen Yu might get bored, Cheng Mofei even turned on the TV and put on a documentary to pass the time.

At Shen Yu’s insistence, he specifically chose a documentary about hamsters.

The little hamster resigned himself to his fate, lying flat and limp as Cheng Mofei played with him like a living doll.

The first outfit was an Alice-in-Wonderland–style blue-and-white dress, complete with a dainty little hat on top of his head, tilted askew and covering one of his ears.

The second was a soft pink maid dress, with a ribbon tie accessory. Unfortunately, the hamster’s tail was simply too tiny to tie it on, so that one had to be abandoned.

The third was a Chinese-style mini cheongsam, form-fitting and elegant. It smoothed down all the fluffy fur on his body.

…

After being changed in and out of all the little dresses, the thoroughly humiliated little hamster hastily began grooming his fur back into order.

Shen Yu didn’t have much of a cleanliness obsession, but after turning into a little hamster, he suddenly became very particular about the neatness of his fur.

If Cheng Mofei kept messing with him like this every day, Shen Yu would definitely need to make him buy a little comb for grooming his fur…

Meanwhile, the documentary on the TV continued to play, and the voice from it drifted into both of their ears:

“After mating, male hamsters’ semen forms a mating plug inside the female, preventing other hamsters from entering.”

Both the person and the hamster were momentarily stunned.

A few seconds later, Cheng Mofei suddenly spoke up: “If only I could turn into a hamster too.”

Shen Yu: “…”
