Fuxi Jr. has been with its owner since it was tiny. Time has passed without either of them noticing, until Fuxi's beard turned streaked with gray and Fuxi Jr. itself grew into a big cat.
People say Fuxi was too lazy to give it a proper name. Fuxi Jr. knows that's not it.
Call out "Fuxi", and both the man and the cat come at once. Two hearts pressed close, two lives tied together, and Fuxi Jr. can't help but feel pleased.
When the moon hangs high, Fuxi pours a bowl of wine. He takes a sip, and Fuxi Jr. takes a lick. The warmth spreads through them as they lean into each other.
Night fades into day, then day into night. Junior's life always feels light, as if it could drift.
People say that feeling is called happiness.
