Rat, Rabbit, And Rabbit Transformed Into Humans And Married Their Natural Enemies. Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Bai Zhi took a step closer, reducing the distance between them to just over ten centimeters.

He stared into Xie Yuzhan’s eyes, confirming carefully for half a minute. Hmm, the drunk Mr. Wolf didn’t seem to pose much of a threat.

He let out a sigh of relief, mimicking the tone the other man used to coax him, his eyes curving into crescents as he smiled. “How about we go take a bath first? You don’t want to get into bed smelling of alcohol, do you?

“Be a good Yuzhan Gege, listen to me, okay?”

Xie Yuzhan looked steadily at Bai Zhi for a while, then hummed in agreement and pulled the other man toward the bathroom.

Bai Zhi froze. Wait! Pulling him along too?

That wasn’t necessary!

He dug his heels in, pulling backward, but he couldn’t overcome Xie Yuzhan’s strength. He was dragged all the way to the bathroom door. He clung to the doorframe and looked at Xie Yuzhan, who had turned his head after feeling the resistance. “You can wash yourself, right? You go wash, I’ll go get your pajamas!”

Xie Yuzhan didn’t let go. “Washing together is faster.”

No! Bai Zhi did not want to be naked in front of Xie Yuzhan. Would that just be sending himself into the wolf’s mouth faster? He wasn’t stupid!

He quickly racked his brain and said loudly, “I already washed before I came to pick you up, so I don’t need another wash. Hurry up, wash up so you can sleep!”

Xie Yuzhan pursed his lips slightly and confirmed, “Then you won’t leave?”

Bai Zhi almost thumped his chest to guarantee it, promising earnestly, “No, I said I’d get your pajamas. I’ll definitely still be here when you finish washing and come out. I’ll leave after you fall asleep. Don’t worry, I’m very trustworthy, okay? I absolutely keep my word.”

Xie Yuzhan stared at Bai Zhi for a moment, then nodded. “See you later.”

“Okay.”

Watching Xie Yuzhan enter the bathroom, Bai Zhi quickly closed the door and let out a breath of relief. He rubbed his chin, pondering.

Was being drunk really that different from normal? Xie Yuzhan was usually unreasonable, but surprisingly easy to coax? Not difficult to communicate with, and he seemed more candid than usual.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity to pry some information out of him. Such a good, rare chance had to be utilized.

He made up his mind and went to the walk-in closet to get the pajamas first.

The moment he stepped inside, he paused. As expected of a suit enthusiast, more than half of the enormous closet was filled with suits of various materials and styles, enough to wear from spring to winter. The key was!

Xie Yuzhan genuinely looked stylish in a suit, perfectly complementing his refined, elegant, and composed demeanor.

There was also a small section of casual wear, all in colors like black, white, gray, brown, and beige.

He was different; he liked bright, flashy colors that made him look vibrant, as if he had fallen into a blooming spring garden, which made the bunny very happy.

Besides clothes, Xie Yuzhan had an immense collection of accessories.

Not to mention anything else, there was an entire cabinet dedicated just to glasses, which left him speechless. Mr. Xie was truly a meticulous person, but he had to admit that the other man’s aesthetic sense was superb.

He was genuinely very handsome.

Having such a pleasing roommate was a gain for him.

He chose a long, light silver-gray dressing gown. The room temperature was constant, like spring all year round, so there was no need for thick pajamas.

He placed the clothes on the rack outside the bathroom door, greeted Xie Yuzhan, and then came out. He sat cross-legged on the single armchair, picked up his phone, and opened the plant encyclopedia, treating it like a bedtime story.

He only snapped out of the plant kingdom when his head was ruffled. He looked up at Xie Yuzhan, who had walked over, and his gaze froze. Even his breathing became shallow.

But it wasn’t the tension caused by pressure or danger.

It was admiration.

He knew Xie Yuzhan was tall, long-legged, and had a good physique, but this was the first time he had seen the other man’s bare skin so directly. The belt of the dressing gown was tied casually, revealing a large expanse of his chest.

The pectoral muscles were just right, and further down, he could see some abdominal muscles. The muscle definition wasn’t ostentatious—neither weak nor exaggerated—and was as elegant as the man himself, with smooth and beautiful contours.

It was restrained yet hinted at the power contained within.

He stared at Xie Yuzhan without blinking, but quietly reached out and touched his own tummy. Hmm—he didn’t realize until he compared them. He only had a thin, soft layer of muscle; it wasn’t satisfying to touch!

So he became even more envious.

His gaze moved upward with difficulty. Xie Yuzhan’s expression was peaceful; the shower seemed to have washed away all the cold, grim shadows. Well… if not now, when was the best time to touch?

He gently pinched the lapel of the other man’s robe and asked, straight-faced and eagerly, “Can I touch?”

Xie Yuzhan grasped Bai Zhi’s fingers and countered, “Can I hold you while I sleep?”

Huh? Bai Zhi frowned slightly in thought. Was this a trade? Faced with this exchange, he didn’t think for long. Ten seconds was enough; it wasn’t a difficult decision to make.

It was just being a human pillow for someone. The bunny could do that!

He just needed to wait until the other man was coaxed to sleep, then he could get up. It wouldn’t delay him going back to his own room to sleep. That way, he wouldn’t have to stay with him for the entire night.

He nodded quickly. “Yes, that’s fine.”

A pleased curve appeared at the corner of Xie Yuzhan’s mouth, and a faint warmth shone in his dark eyes. He guided Bai Zhi’s hand to his own body. “Now, you may do as you please.”

Bai Zhi straightened up. Wow—

This was the feeling! Smooth, resilient, and excellent to the touch. Poking it was even better. He could now understand humanity’s obsession with good physiques; it was indeed very, very, very attractive.

Even though he was a little rabbit, he had to admit that touching and poking was genuinely fun.

The entire bunny felt light enough to take off into the air.

It wasn’t until he was satisfied with his touching that he realized ten minutes had passed.

He reluctantly withdrew his paws, his thoughts feeling a little airy. When Mr. Xie was sober, he probably wouldn’t be so obediently available for touching, rubbing, and poking. He didn’t know when the next opportunity would arise.

This counted as a small benefit for going out to pick him up tonight.

When Bai Zhi withdrew his hand, Xie Yuzhan immediately grasped it, tilted his head toward the bed, and said in a calm tone, “Why don’t you change into your pajamas first? Lying in bed will be more comfortable.”

Bai Zhi stood up. He didn’t think much of it; it was just about making himself more comfortable.

He replied, “Sure, you get into bed first. I’ll go back to my room, change, and come right up. Two minutes.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

Xie Yuzhan watched Bai Zhi’s light footsteps as he left, the smile in his eyes obscure yet gentle. It wasn’t hard to guess what the other man was planning; it was written all over his face.

Thinking of leaving after getting into bed? Not a chance.

When Bai Zhi came out in his pajamas, he ran into Lin Haiyan waiting at the bottom of the stairs. She was holding two glasses of warm milk, saying it helped with sleep before bed.

She didn’t ask anything else, and he didn’t say anything. He obediently took the tray and went upstairs.

When he returned, Xie Yuzhan was leaning against the headboard, his eyes slightly lowered. His aura was very gentle, not cold or severe at all, like the clear, distant moonlight.

He handed over the milk, looking at the very cooperative Mr. Wolf, and sighed with admiration once more. So well-behaved. Being drunk wasn’t entirely a bad thing!

After finishing the milk, without waiting for Xie Yuzhan to urge him, he proactively climbed onto the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down on the other side. He urged, “Let’s sleep, it’s late.”

Xie Yuzhan couldn’t help but chuckle softly. The little rabbit who voluntarily burrowed into the covers was truly endearing.

He turned off most of the lights, leaving only a few ambient accent lights. After lying down on his side, he moved closer to the flat-lying Bai Zhi, pulling him into his embrace. Their position allowed him to rest his chin perfectly on the other man’s shoulder.

He kissed Bai Zhi’s ear and whispered, “Sleep.”

Bai Zhi’s breathing instantly stopped. The touch on his earlobe was light, but it was definitely a kiss. The soft sensation made his earlobes suddenly burn.

And that wasn’t all!

Their current position was a bit precarious. Xie Yuzhan’s breath was brushing against the side of his neck, slow and warm, tickling his heart like a feather. It was slightly itchy, and when the itch accumulated enough, it suddenly felt like a prairie fire.

The entire bunny was about to explode from the heat!

He slightly parted his mouth, trying to inhale and exhale as quietly as possible, attempting to calm the restlessness in his heart, but it was useless. He stared intently at the indistinct patterns on the ceiling, feeling a little tense.

After enduring it for five minutes, he finally couldn’t take it anymore.

The bunny flipped over, turning his back to Xie Yuzhan. The other man adjusted his posture slightly in response, which made their bodies press even closer together.

Feeling the warmth of the arm wrapped around his waist from behind, he kept his eyes wide open, suddenly starting to doubt whether his decision to sleep with Xie Yuzhan was correct.

Was he digging his own grave?

No, no. Don’t overthink it, don’t let your imagination run wild.

He tried to keep his breathing light, his fingers hooking the blanket, slowly tracing the subtle patterns on it. The deep, silent navy blue color suited Xie Yuzhan’s aesthetic preferences, but it wasn’t as nice as his own little duck-yellow duvet cover.

If sunlight had a physical form, it would be that warm and bright.

He was lost in random thoughts until the breathing of the person beside him became even and deep. Only then did he softly call out, “Yuzhan? Mr. Xie? Xie Yuzhan? Zhanzhan?”

No response.

Good. Mr. Wolf was sound asleep, and it was time for him to retreat.

He moved as lightly as possible, trying to pull away the arm wrapped around his waist, but he quickly realized something: he couldn’t pull it away!

How could he be so strong even when asleep?!

This was unscientific!

After fiddling around for a while, he was starting to get agitated. He called out “Mr. Xie” a little louder, but the only response was the other man’s steady breathing. He was definitely asleep.

He sighed deeply. He was doomed. What kind of situation was this, being sealed by one of the man’s arms!

Right now, Mr. Wolf was drunk and not very aggressive. Being a temporary pillow for him wasn’t a big problem; it didn’t involve safety issues. But he would definitely be sober tomorrow morning!

That was too dangerous.

He couldn’t possibly fall asleep in Mr. Wolf’s arms, absolutely not, let alone sleep for an entire night. The bunny didn’t have that much courage.

He couldn’t put himself in such a dangerous situation.

He didn’t want to wake Xie Yuzhan, so he didn’t dare to pull too hard. He could only try a few times, then rest for a while, which resulted in…

Drowsiness crept up on him without him realizing it. His eyelids were drooping. The movement of trying to pry the arm away became lighter and lighter until he completely settled down.

He fell asleep.

After confirming that the person in his arms was sound asleep, Xie Yuzhan, who should have been asleep long ago, slowly opened his eyes. Dark light swirled in his black pupils.

He readjusted his position, completely encircling the little rabbit in his embrace. He rubbed his face against the side of the other man’s neck and let out a long, contented sigh.

Now he could truly sleep.

Bai Zhi slept soundly that night, without dreaming. He slept until he woke up naturally, feeling a moment of confusion about what day it was when he opened his eyes.

He blinked, and just as he was about to stretch, he realized his arms couldn’t extend. The next second, his consciousness instantly returned.

The bunny’s fur was about to stand on end!

He had slept the entire night in Xie Yuzhan’s room, in Xie Yuzhan’s bed, and in Xie Yuzhan’s arms?! Was he still whole and intact?!

He frantically checked himself and sighed in relief. He was still alive and well.

Carelessness! How could he have fallen asleep?

He turned his head to see if Xie Yuzhan was awake, and unexpectedly bumped into a pool of warm spring water. He wanted to question why the other man had held him all night, but the words caught in his throat when he remembered that he had been unable to resist the temptation of good looks and had made a trade.

His momentum instantly weakened.

It was the price of touching.

After staring blankly for a long time, his neck started to ache from twisting. He stammered, “You’re awake, huh… Um, let go. It’s time to get up.”

Xie Yuzhan gently supported Bai Zhi’s neck, his voice low. He spoke, “Morning, Zhi Zhi. I need a morning kiss.”

What?

Bai Zhi froze. Xie Yuzhan’s voice was slightly hoarse, carrying the laziness of morning, which sounded pleasantly tingly, like a small electric current running through the listener.

After realizing what he said, he immediately struggled and retorted, “No! We only agreed on a goodnight hug, there was no talk of a goodnight kiss or a morning kiss! Don’t talk nonsense and add extra scenes for us!”

The bunny wouldn’t be fooled!

Xie Yuzhan chuckled softly, his arm firmly clamped around Bai Zhi’s waist, suppressing the little rabbit’s resistance.

Once the other man was panting and temporarily subdued, he leaned close to Bai Zhi’s ear and gently blew a breath onto the thin earlobe of the person in his arms, coaxing, “It’s just a morning kiss. Are you so stingy, Zhi Zhi?

“We’re already at the stage where we can sleep together.”

Bai Zhi’s ears tingled, and his breathing paused for a moment.

The bunny didn’t understand. The bunny really didn’t understand!
