It was a winter day, and the pandemic was at its peak. The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant and the anxiety of people. During such times, a young man struggling alone in the city met Luna by chance in the hospital corridor. Luna was covered in blood, with a visible wound on her ear. He knelt down, gently stroked Luna's head, and decided to adopt her.
However, his life was not affluent. The rented room he lived in was simple and cold, with almost no supplies at home. Even the most basic food was a problem for him. But he never thought of giving up on Luna. He remembered that day clearly, braving the wind and snow, walking through several streets to find an open convenience store. He used his last bit of money to buy a carton of eggs. Although he knew those eggs were important for him as well, he didn't hesitate to give them all to Luna.
Luna seemed to enjoy those eggs, eating them with great appetite every day. Meanwhile, he quietly ate instant noodles, not daring to add even one egg. Despite the hardships, he always wanted to give the best to Luna. On cold winter nights, he would hold Luna in his arms, using his body heat to keep her warm. He saved every penny to buy the best cat food and toys for Luna.
Luna was a picky eater, never touching cat food and only loving meat. This brought him quite a bit of trouble. He tried various methods, including mixing cat food with meat, but Luna always skillfully picked out the meat, leaving the cat food behind. He laughed helplessly but never blamed her.
Their relationship was like that of friends and family. They shared many happy moments and faced numerous challenges. Luna would sometimes cause trouble, messing up his room; other times, she would suddenly pounce on him, scratching his arms with her sharp claws. But no matter what Luna did, he never got angry, always patiently caring for and loving her.
When asked if there were any moments that deeply moved him, he thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "Actually, every moment with Luna touches me. For instance, once I was sick and couldn't get out of bed. Luna stayed by my bedside all day, never leaving. She looked at me as if to say, 'Get well soon!' In that moment, I felt warmth and strength like never before."
Now, Luna has her own family—she found a partner and gave birth to a litter of adorable kittens. They were once two lonely souls, but now they have each other. He jokingly says, "They are a family, and I have become the only single one in the house." But in this loneliness, he feels an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment. He knows that in this world, there is a life that shares his journey, going through the ups and downs together. This companionship and love are his most precious treasures.
