8 Chapter 8

◎Toy Bunny◎

The man's long, slender fingers lifted him onto the table.

Bored?

Song Jinyu's dinosaur tail poked onto the paper on the desk. He looked down and saw that it was a script.

Xiao Ji reached out and tugged at his dinosaur tail, then asked him, "I have an unavoidable dinner party tonight, how about you come with me?"

A dinner party...

Song Jinyu's eyes lit up.

Xiao Ji continued, "There are too many people around, so it's inconvenient for you to come out. You'll have to stay in my pocket."

Never mind then...

Song Jinyu shook her head, fiddling with her hair.

Even knowing the outcome would be like this, Xiao Ji couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, "Are you really not going?"

It would be so boring to just keep it in my pocket; I'd rather lie down in Xiao Ji's spacious apartment.

He wouldn't go, and Xiao Ji couldn't do anything about it. He took down the squeaky chicken that was swaying back and forth and put the tablet in front of Song Jinyu.

"I play on the tablet for up to three hours. If I get bored, I play on it. There's no password, and all the apps on it work. It's logged into my WeChat account. If I need anything, I can send a message to the assistant."

"And..." he threatened subtly, his eyes narrowed, "there are security cameras in the house, so don't even think about running away."

Song Jinyu looked up at him in shock.

You installed surveillance cameras?

He said that he wasn't surprised at all when he saw the doll, which meant that the other party had seen everything he did.

"Surveillance can't keep out honest people, but it can keep out scoundrels."

Song Jinyu sneered inwardly and pointed the toy gun directly at Xiao Ji.

The man pushed his weapon aside, got up, and went to change his clothes.

Before leaving, Xiao Ji built him a comfortable place to play, and placed the tablet in a suitable spot, making it very convenient for him to play.

Song Jinyu's anger subsided a bit. Listening to the sound of the car driving away, she rubbed her hands together and stared at the tablet with anticipation.

What should we play?

Xiao Ji's tablet was so clean that there wasn't even a single game on it. Song Jinyu carried her pen and opened the store, picking and choosing from the games on the screen.

He can't play games that are too difficult, and games that are too easy aren't challenging enough...

Before he could come up with a solution, he suddenly went limp, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

The doll had no heart, but Song Jinyu felt his heart beating faster and faster. A feeling of panic washed over him, and he felt dizzy and collapsed.

Thump—

Song Jinyu's head slammed against the glass window. He opened his eyes groggily and saw a busy road in front of him. He had fallen into the shop window and become a wooden figure displayed there.

The wooden figure only had two black eyes. Song Jinyu couldn't hear or smell anything, and even her vision was covered by a blurry black film.

Before he could react, everything went black again.

Thump—

He became a teddy bear in the mall.

Thump—

I don't know whose car had that little snowman toy.

Thump—

The rabbit doll in the cabinet.

Song Jinyu: "..."

Song Jinyu felt like throwing up.

He felt like he'd been thrown into a washing machine and rolled around and around until he was too tired to even notice where he was. He closed his eyes in despair and waited for the next teleportation.

He waited and waited, but instead of darkness, a soft light appeared in his eyes, which remained shrouded in a grayish hue.

He looked around.

He had become a rabbit doll, with long ears drooping to his sides, a black nose, and black eyes. The rabbit doll sat quietly on a decorative wall panel, next to a pot of succulents, and below it sat a large table of people, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, seemingly having a meal.

This time, he could not speak, hear, or smell. His eyes were covered with a black film, and he looked at the people below as if he were watching a black and white silent film.

Until a pair of slender, pale hands pushed open the door.

All eyes turned to the doorway, where Xiao Ji stood calmly, accepting all gazes.

"Sorry, there was traffic on the way, I'm late."

No one spoke. The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table chuckled, "Director Xiao has quite the temper. He wants to secure investment, but he keeps putting this off."

Xiao Ji's expression didn't change at all. "Something came up at home, this meal is on me."

The producer stood up and laughed it off, "Everyone has an emergency at home sometimes, I understand. As long as you come, that's fine. Director Xiao, please have a seat."

Before Xiao Ji had even sat down, the middle-aged man who had spoken to him first spoke up again, "We've all been waiting for you for almost half an hour, Director Xiao, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

As she spoke, she pushed the glass full of wine toward him.

Xiao Ji doesn't like drinking, but he's the one who needs to attract investment, so things don't go according to his preferences.

He tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine.

-

Song Jinyu watched as Xiao Ji was forced to drink three glasses of wine. She didn't know what they were saying, but a group of people laughed. Only Xiao Ji, sitting opposite her, looked a little cold.

What exactly did they say?

Song Jinyu was extremely anxious.

No matter how anxious he was, the toy rabbit couldn't hear a sound.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone inside was a little tipsy. The man who had initially been at odds with Xiao Ji was now looking at him with ill intent.

Even in the entertainment industry, where beauties and handsome men abound, Xiao Ji's looks are still outstanding. His temperament is so cold that he stands out from the people around him.

Some want to drag this aloof flower down to earth, while others want to drag it into the mud.

But only Song Jinyu knew that this aloof flower only looked aloof; upon closer inspection, it was actually a real man-eating flower.

After the middle-aged man's greasy eyes swept over him twice, Xiao Ji stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. Excuse me."

The man looked around, then got up and followed behind him.

Song Jinyu fell off the wall panel with a thud.

He looked around and realized that everyone was too drunk to notice the rabbit doll on the ground.

He crawled forward in an extremely lewd manner.

It wasn't that he was worried about Xiao Ji being bullied; he was afraid that Xiao Ji would beat someone to death.

Song Jinyu crawled a step, then paused for two seconds, moving at a snail's pace to the doorway. Seeing that no one had seen him, he slipped out through the slightly ajar door.

He lay outside in the corridor, cosplaying as a discarded rabbit doll, but in reality, he had a pair of black, beady eyes observing his surroundings.

He didn't know where Xiao Ji had gone, but at this kind of dinner party, the only place he could go was the restroom.

Song Jinyu looked around and found the toilet sign in a corner of the corridor not far away.

The corridor was empty; there wasn't a single person in sight.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he took off running, his rabbit ears practically spinning like propellers, and finally he reached the toilet door.

-

Xiao Ji wasn't particularly strong; the well-fitting clothes made him appear even taller and thinner. The hand that usually held a pen and a cup of coffee grabbed the man's collar, lifting his nearly 170-pound frame and slamming him against the wall. His face remained expressionless, his eyes narrow and dark.

"I didn't hear you, could you say it again?"

The man's chest ached from the shock, and he coughed several times before regaining his senses. His first reaction was disbelief. "You... how dare you? Do you know who I am? It's your good fortune that I think highly of you. Don't push your luck..."

Xiao Ji clicked his tongue impatiently and raised his hand to dislocate the man's jaw.

With a snap, the man found himself unable to speak, and the next second, he was kicked away.

With a loud bang, he crashed into the opposite wall, breaking his ribs and experiencing excruciating pain in his abdomen.

A wave of panic washed over the man, and a chill ran down his spine as he saw Xiao Ji straighten the wrinkles in his clothes and walk toward him. He braced himself against the ground and tried to cry for help, but with his jaw dislocated, he could only manage a few hoarse "hoarse" sounds.

Xiao Ji squatted down in front of the man, the light pouring down from above, making his skin look as white as translucent jade, his black hair falling to his eyebrows, and he tilted his head slightly.

"You can only blame your bad luck; you just happened to run into me when I was in a bad mood."

...

Song Jinyu used her small body to break open the toilet door.

He squeezed his way in with difficulty, and Xiao Ji was on the phone making a call.

"Help me deal with someone..." He glanced at the unconscious man lying on the ground. "He's not dead, but his jaw is dislocated, he has a broken rib, and his hand is broken too."

After hearing something said on the other end, he calmly replied, "Does trying to sexually harass me count?"

Song Jinyu couldn't hear what he was saying. He looked at Xiao Ji, who was still clean and tidy, and then his gaze shifted to the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

After a careful examination, Song Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the baby was still breathing.

From childhood to adulthood, countless people have been fooled by Xiao Ji's face.

This guy complains about the heat when the sun is too strong, the wind when it's too strong, and the cold when it's winter...

Ultimately, it all comes down to his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness. He finds it dirty when it's hot and he sweats, he finds it dirty when it's windy and dusty, and he finds it dirty when it rains in winter. He lives like a pampered young master.

Song Jinyu cursed him every day, and some people actually believed he was a pampered young master, rushing to their deaths one after another.

Little did people know that Xiao Ji had been practicing Sanda and martial arts since he was a child, and his moves were all aimed at killing people. For several summers, his own father had sent him to training camps in unknown places, where he had to fight real battles.

Song Jinyu didn't see the benefits, but the drawbacks were obvious. Every time he came back, Xiao Ji's germaphobia intensified to an even higher level, to the point that it made her scalp tingle.

Thinking of past experiences, tears of sadness almost welled up in my eyes.

If he could beat Xiao Ji, he wouldn't be being bullied and crushed by him now.

Xiao Ji hung up the phone, but still felt dirty, so he turned on the tap and washed his hands again.

Halfway through washing, something hit his calf.

He lowered his head...

A rabbit doll, which appeared out of nowhere, was standing at his feet. The rabbit had no fingers; its round hands held its long ears and it kept hitting his calves with it.

Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "Song Jinyu?"

Song Jinyu couldn't hear him, so he hit him even harder until Xiao Ji lifted him up.

He watched as the man's mouth opened and closed, then he raised the rabbit's chubby little hand to his ear and made a big X with his paw.

"Can't you hear me?"

Song Jinyu failed to read lips and accidentally stepped on Xiao Ji's foot.

Xiao Ji took out his phone.

Can't you hear me?

Song Jinyu nodded vigorously.

[Weren't you staying at home? How did you suddenly turn into a rabbit?]

He had no idea; whatever went wrong, Xiao Ji would be the one to blame.

Song Jinyu wanted to answer him, so she stretched out her furry paws and tried to touch the phone. The phone didn't have a stylus, so she couldn't type with her furry paws. After touching it for a while, she just added a layer of fuzz to the phone screen.

"..."

The toy bunny got so angry that it kicked the phone.
