Rat, Rabbit, And Rabbit Transformed Into Humans And Married Their Natural Enemies. Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Extra Story Three

Bai Zhi knew that being stubborn wasn’t a good habit. As the ancient human ancestors said, a wise man submits to circumstances. But when emotions ran high, he truly couldn’t control his mouth.

Especially in bed.

And the result of blatantly provoking his husband was being pinned down and thoroughly taken care of.

Xie Yuzhan held Bai Zhi, who had fallen into a deep sleep during the cleanup, his slightly lowered eyes filled with precious, tender affection, and an unshakeable possessiveness.

The marks left by the kisses were private signs of ownership.

He kissed Bai Zhi’s forehead. After the other man hummed twice and burrowed further into his arms, Xie Yuzhan closed his eyes, utterly satisfied. Time to sleep. Tomorrow morning, he still needed to make some sweets to coax his bunny.

He had indeed been a bit rough tonight.

…

The moment Xie Yuzhan woke up, he realized something was wrong: Bai Zhi wasn’t in bed.

This was highly unusual.

Logically, his partner shouldn’t wake up earlier than him. Even if he did wake up, he wouldn’t get up without calling him—he probably shouldn’t be able to get up at all.

Before he could figure out why, the warmth emanating from his chest made him instinctively look down. Curled up there was a palm-sized ball of fluff, its two ears twitching slightly, sleeping soundly.

Thanks to Bai Zhi, he recognized what it was instantly.

A pika.

Yes, that’s right, the kind of small wild animal that is very much illegal to keep, living on the grasslands and subsisting on grass. Its courage is about the size of a soybean…

Wait a minute, where did this bunny come from?

And where had his lover gone?

He gently lifted the little creature and placed it on the quilt. After spending five minutes searching around, and finally discovering the ring that the pika had clutched and hidden in its embrace, he finally accepted the fact that his very large lover had turned into a pika.

To be precise, had turned back.

Stay calm, don’t panic. He should change back soon.

Before Bai Zhi woke up, Xie Yuzhan had prepared everything he could. When the little creature groggily opened a pair of round, black eyes, he offered it a petal of snow lotus that he had just had the base deliver.

Bai Zhi instinctively grabbed the fragrant petal in front of him, chewing, chewing, chewing. After eating three petals, he finally remembered to look up, but—

Was this angle wrong?

Did he look wrong in Xie Yuzhan’s eyes?

He stretched out his hand… well, now it was a paw.

He blinked, then blinked again. The bunny’s scream caught in its throat. Its body stiffened, and it fell straight backward, landing perfectly in Xie Yuzhan’s palm.

Looking at the person leaning closer, he clasped his paws over his heart, trying to speak, but only managed to make soft, bleating sounds. Good heavens, he had completely reverted!

After a bout of fussing, he sat in a pile of grass, expressionlessly holding a snow lotus petal and continuing to nibble.

Since it happened, he would accept it. His consciousness was still intact, so it wasn’t a big problem. Maybe he would be fine after a night’s sleep. He would just treat it as a little joke from the Rabbit God. No big deal.

It was just…

He stared at Xie Yuzhan, feeling that the way the other man looked at him was slightly different than usual.

It seemed like a hint of happiness, as if a long-cherished wish had finally been granted?

He twitched his ears. At most, it would be some petting and rubbing. What else could he do? He was fine with being rubbed and petted; he never refused normally anyway.

Xie Yuzhan watched the bunny sitting on the soft mat. The little creature, with its three-part mouth, was intensely focused on crunching the snow lotus petals. But he still caught the glance the bunny shot his way.

Even though he had turned into a bunny, the tacit understanding between partners remained.

After finishing a petal, Bai Zhi tugged at a nearby tissue to wipe his mouth—good habits must not be forgotten. Then, he pattered over a couple of steps, looked at Xie Yuzhan’s hand, and pointed at himself with a tiny paw.

When the other man spread his hand flat on the table, he immediately hopped into the palm and nestled into a small heap. This was much more comfortable than any mat!

Xie Yuzhan looked at the tiny pika nestled in his palm, feeling a sense of unreality.

This little creature, weighing less than 200 grams, was soft, with short limbs and very thick fur. You couldn’t even see its tail. Squatting there, it truly looked like a large glutinous rice ball, and its body temperature was slightly higher, making it warm and cozy.

He couldn’t help but muse that this size was perfect for carrying in a pocket.

He curled his fingers, gently kneading the little thing in his palm. The pika’s fluffy, fine fur felt wonderful. It wasn’t until Zhi-bunny kicked him with a hind paw that he reluctantly let go and carefully groomed the fur for him.

He lightly touched the bunny’s small nose with his finger. It felt cool and moist. Then, he was bitten.

It wasn’t hard, just a gentle clamp to grind teeth and vent some frustration.

He allowed the bunny’s two paws to hold his finger and nibble, nibble, nibble. Facing such a miniature creature, even though he knew this was a remarkably resilient wild animal, the shell contained his lover, so he kept his voice low.

Just in case he scared the little guy.

He asked, “Do you want to stay home today, or go out and look around?”

Bai Zhi took one last bite, released his grip, and then simply lay down on Xie Yuzhan’s finger, letting the finger support his tiny chin.

He blinked his little bean eyes and thought about it. Staying home was the easiest. He could curl up in the sunroom, and there would be more than enough grass to eat. After eating, he could run around on the grass in the backyard. No need to worry about storing food, no need to worry about predators. How wonderful that would be.

But.

Seeing Xie Yuzhan’s seemingly calm expression—hmm, he was clearly very expectant. Well, there was nothing more to say. He quickly changed his mind.

Go out. He had to go out today!

How could he not know what kind of scheme his husband, who shared his bed, was cooking up? Playing on the grass could happen anytime, but a rare opportunity like this to go out was one he couldn’t miss.

It wasn’t a difficult choice.

He pointed a paw toward the window. Let’s go out for a stroll!

When Yu Fei received the message from her boss, despite having seen many things, she was still full of question marks. Was this some kind of new play for the couple?

But as a qualified CEO assistant, she carried out the boss’s instructions with quality and quantity assured.

She had just stepped out of the top-floor lounge when she saw Xie Yuzhan exiting the elevator. Huh?

Alone?

That wasn’t right, was it? If their boss’s wife hadn’t come, what was the point of all her preparations?

Her confusion didn’t last long. A soft, sheep-like bleating sound immediately drew her attention. Looking closely at the source of the sound, heavens, was she still asleep, or had her dreams finally come true?

In the breast pocket of Xie Yuzhan’s suit was a small rabbit… or perhaps a mouse. It was brownish-yellow with grayish-brown stripes, its two ears perked up, and it was energetically waving a paw at her in greeting.

What was that?!!

Xie Yuzhan saw Yu Fei’s astonishment. He raised a hand and tapped Zhi-bunny’s little head, introducing him, “This is Zhi Zhi, a small pika. The things I asked you to prepare are for him.”

Zhi Zhi?

Yu Fei felt like she had grasped something and quickly regained her composure.

Okay, confirmed. This was definitely a fun roleplay between the couple. Calling a little darling by his lover’s name—she had to admit, such a soft, adorable glutinous rice ball was surprisingly compatible with their boss.

And honestly, sometimes she really did feel that Bai Zhi was like a small animal—straightforward and cute, lively and active, and also very perceptive, always hitting the nail on the head when he spoke.

He was a perfect match for the refined and elegant gentleman who was sharp-tongued!

They were equals in emotional strength.

After Yu Fei left, Xie Yuzhan took Bai Zhi into the prepared lounge. He showed the little bunny around, and he was quite satisfied.

A small, garden-like patch of grass was set up in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The fresh lawn was planted with the grasses and flowers pikas commonly ate, including but not limited to snow lotus, saxifrage, and rhodiola.

In addition, there was a table on one side covered with various toys and clothes.

Bai Zhi stared at the dazzling array of clothing. He wanted to cross his arms, but his paws were too short to hold. He simply grumbled and kicked Xie Yuzhan with his hind foot. CEO Xie, oh CEO Xie—

His intentions were so obvious!

He was seizing the opportunity to indulge his wicked pleasure by the basketful.

Xie Yuzhan carefully lifted Zhi-bunny out of his pocket and placed him on the grass. That little kick just now was undoubtedly a form of coquetry.

He pinched the bunny’s thin ear flap. The dark eyes behind his glasses held an unconcealed smile as he asked, “This is a rare opportunity, baby. Don’t you want to try it?”

Bai Zhi was puffed up with indignation, his little feet pattering against the grass.

He plucked a rhodiola flower and started chewing, his peripheral vision still scanning the flashy little outfits. It seemed everyone harbored a dream of dressing up, and the refined and elegant CEO Xie was no exception.

The man himself was already meticulous about his own appearance. Now, he wanted to dress up this soft little bunny. Just thinking about it felt complicated.

But!

Just as the other man said, the opportunity was rare.

After finishing a few rhodiola flowers, he hopped to the edge of the small garden, leaning against the stone-shaped fence, and nodded his little head. He was fine with whatever today.

Xie Yuzhan knew this meant Bai Zhi had agreed.

He rubbed the bunny’s little head, his voice imbued with subtle pleasure, and praised, “Zhi Zhi is so good.”

Bai Zhi squinted and rubbed against Xie Yuzhan’s palm, letting out a soft hum. Did he think he couldn’t see it? His dear husband’s peacock tail was practically fanned out. If he was happy, it was worth it.

It was just modeling, after all. He could do it, no problem, it wasn’t that difficult.

It turned out he had underestimated Xie Yuzhan’s enthusiasm.

The clothes and accessories were all in sets, ranging from his favorite Pikachu, to the Little Prince, nurse, maid, painter, to Meowth, little dragon, little penguin, and then various flower and plant themes. Everything imaginable was there.

At first, he cooperated well, extending his arms and legs to put on the clothes and striking poses. But later, the entire bunny went limp, letting Xie Yuzhan dress him however he pleased.

Besides changing outfits, taking photos was an essential part of the process. He didn’t bother worrying about whether these photos would become black history. It didn’t matter; Xie Yuzhan wouldn’t show them to anyone else anyway. So, as long as his husband was happy.

When he changed back, a small cake wouldn’t be enough to placate him!

Today had completely exhausted the bunny.

Xie Yuzhan knew when to stop. After lunch, he and Zhi-bunny leaned together for a nap on the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Such a soft, overly cute pale green sofa shouldn’t have appeared in a space decorated under his direction, but his lover liked it.

Bai Zhi said this color was the color of fresh grass sprouts, soft yet vibrant, a very lovely color.

In his opinion, the person who said that was the most adorable of all.

No one else compared.

He leaned back in the sofa, and Zhi-pika nestled on his shoulder. One person and one bunny were enveloped in sunlight. Although he hadn’t planned on taking a nap, in such peaceful tranquility, he actually enjoyed a good one.

In the afternoon, he stayed in the lounge to work. While reviewing documents and materials, the bunny was curled up on a soft mat beside his hand, happily munching on various nuts.

Every now and then, he would reach out to rub the bunny’s head, ears, or little belly. He couldn’t get enough of the texture.

He wanted to keep the bunny cupped in his hand forever.

He couldn’t love him enough.

Today was a special circumstance, so he changed the afternoon’s scheduled project team meeting to an online video conference.

At first, everything was peaceful. He held the meeting, and the bunny played with a few colorful raw gemstones, until one gem rolled onto the document spread out in front of him.

The pika chasing it unexpectedly entered the camera frame.

After a moment of silence, he clearly heard gasps from the other side. After all, who would have thought that CEO Xie, who was known for his cleanliness and extreme pickiness, would keep a small rabbit and even allow it to play freely on the table?

He didn’t need to guess; this matter would be known throughout the company before quitting time.

But it wasn’t a bad thing.

He handed the gemstone back to the little bunny, tapping its small head. “It will be over soon. How about I shell sunflower seeds for you afterward?”

Bai Zhi hugged the shiny gemstone, rubbed his little head against Xie Yuzhan’s finger, and obediently squatted back on the mat to fiddle with the pretty stones.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t shell sunflower seeds himself, but shelling them himself and having someone else shell them and hand them over were two completely different things!

He wanted his husband to shell the seeds for him!

Xie Yuzhan was happy to feed the bunny. After the video conference, there would likely be a wave of discussion throughout the company, covering various aspects. He was pleased with this.

Yu Fei knew what could be said and what couldn’t.

Adding a little spice to everyone’s daily work life seemed quite nice.

The internal forum had a significant number of comics and short stories related to him and Bai Zhi, especially after their make-up wedding. Because of this, besides watching Bai Zhi’s live streams, browsing the forum had unknowingly become another new hobby of his. Many posts were very cute, and he directly marked them as “featured” using his admin account.

He liked them, so they should draw more.

Although much of the content deviated from reality, cuteness reigned supreme, and it even gave him some good inspiration.

After the meeting, he didn’t schedule any other work and began shelling sunflower seeds for Bai Zhi. Watching the little bunny eat happily, the corners of his mouth had curled up without him realizing it.

He could watch this forever.

After Zhi-bunny was full, he let the bunny lie down in his palm, using his thumb as a support.

He leaned closer, kissed the little bunny’s forehead, and sighed softly, “Baby, you are indeed very, very cute like this, but it hasn’t even been a day, and I already miss you.”

Zhi-bunny lazily sprawled out his little belly, his bean eyes blinking.

He knew exactly what Xie Yuzhan meant by that.

Turning into such a small bunny meant he could be carried in a pocket everywhere and could be completely cupped in a palm and thoroughly rubbed. But!

With such a vast difference in size, they couldn’t hug, couldn’t kiss, and the more intimate things were completely impossible.

Thinking of this, he climbed up and squatted in Xie Yuzhan’s palm, beckoning to the other man. When his Wolf King leaned in, his two little paws held the man’s chin, and he kissed him on the lips.

Then, he lay back down and continued to pancake.

Xie Yuzhan looked at Zhi-bunny’s bean eyes, and the restlessness in his heart was soothed. It was a good thing the other man was in his small animal state now, so his blushing wasn’t visible, otherwise, even his earlobes would probably be bright red.

Even though they had done everything many times, and Bai Zhi was very passionate and proactive, that didn’t stop him from being shy.

He deserved all the love and affection in the world.

They stayed at the company until five o’clock, then the person and the bunny headed home.

During dinner, Bai Zhi squatted on the mat beside Xie Yuzhan, continuing to eat flowers and grass, plus a few nuts. He stared at the pudding that looked incredibly bouncy and Q-elastic for a long time. The grass no longer tasted good, but the Wolf King wouldn’t let him eat it!

He even righteously claimed that little bunnies couldn’t eat sweets because they were bad for their health!

Sweets improved mood, and a good mood meant good health. Even a little bunny who hadn’t gone to school understood such a simple principle!

He was just deliberately tempting him.

He angrily nibbled on a cashew, hoping he would change back after a night’s sleep. He wanted to eat small cakes, cookies, and lots of other delicious things.

And he definitely didn’t want a certain someone’s hug!

When they went to bed, he curled up in the hollow of Xie Yuzhan’s shoulder. The faint sound of the blood vessels pulsing in the man’s neck was like a lullaby.

It felt safer than any nest.

As his consciousness drifted into sleep, he was still vaguely praying to the Rabbit God: please, please, please let him change back…

…

Before Bai Zhi even opened his eyes, he felt soreness all over his body. His waist and hips were particularly aching from overuse.

This instantly brought him back to his senses. He looked at his hand. The Rabbit God was incredibly effective; he really had changed back after one night’s sleep!

He didn’t want to be a bunny forever!

He propped himself up with his arm to sit, but a wave of sour, tingling numbness, like an electric current that made his tongue tremble, surged over him, causing him to fall straight back into the arms of the person beside him.

Xie Yuzhan frowned slightly. Waking up, he instinctively rubbed Bai Zhi’s head as comfort, and then massaged his waist.

He coaxed softly, “Why are you waking up so early today? How do you feel? Do you want to sleep a little longer? Shall I make you a small cake? What flavor do you want?”

Bai Zhi lay in Xie Yuzhan’s arms, feeling comfortable from the massage. His toes involuntarily curled in pleasure. He was still thinking about the pudding he had wanted but hadn’t gotten.

He bit Xie Yuzhan’s neck lightly, grinding his teeth, and mumbled, “I want pudding. I wanted it last night…”

Xie Yuzhan agreed, “Alright. You sleep a little longer. I’ll call you when it’s ready.”

“Mhm…”

After coaxing Bai Zhi back to sleep, Xie Yuzhan propped himself up. Looking at the man nestled in the soft bedding, his eyes held a gentle, indulgent smile. Speaking of the pudding he had wanted earlier, he remembered last night’s dream.

It was a wonderfully strange dream.

A bunny that could be carried in a pocket was indeed very cute, soft and squishy like a glutinous rice ball, but he undoubtedly preferred the lover in front of him. This was the treasure most worth cherishing.

After watching for a while, an idea suddenly struck him.

Perhaps he could prepare a few small things to let Bai Zhi reminisce about his life on the great grasslands? For example, a set of bunny clothes. Could roleplay be arranged accordingly…

He temporarily hid the subtle glow in his eyes. He thought it was feasible.

Today’s pudding should be grassland-themed first. He would carefully prepare the other things later, determined to give his little bunny a surprise.

Bai Zhi, deep in his second sleep, had no idea of the Wolf King’s plans.

However, he never worried about sudden situations. He would meet soldiers with generals and floods with earthworks. Why couldn’t a little bunny turn the tables?

Just wait and see.
