Chapter 49 Do You Want It?
"Hey, I remember A Ling was born in the Year of the Rabbit."
Zhou Xu said, "Why don't you just keep this thing? Chen Fuji went to so much trouble to get it back from Wuzhou, and I don't know who he's giving it to."
Chen Fu Ji looked at Xie Ling.
His eyes were empty.
Xie Ling squatted down and looked at the cage.
There was a little gray rabbit eating vegetable leaves, its nose twitching eagerly, but it stopped when someone looked at it.
As if shy.
"Do you want it?"
Chen Fu Ji asked.
Xie Ling turned around and looked into his eyes.
She seemed a little lost in thought, "I don't have anywhere to keep this..."
Zhou Xu teased one and interrupted:
"Where does this take place? You don't know, this breed won't grow up. It's not the kind of meat rabbit. Just put this cage in your house."
Xie Ling lowered her head, avoiding his gaze. "Brother Yu'an doesn't like living things. I'm also worried that he might have respiratory allergies..."
"."
Chen Fu Ji didn't say anything.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.
There are only three in the cage, one gray, one white, and one black. They are very cute.
Chen Fu Ji brought it with him when he came here.
It's a gift.
If a gift cannot be given away, no one will want it, and it will only slap the giver in the face.
"Leave it to Si Yan."
Finally, Chen Fu Ji spoke.
But when he left, he still took one away from Xie's house.
The white one.
Like a little princess, she refused to eat anything since she came in. Her hair was fluffy and delicate, as if she had a small crown on her head.
Zhou Xu looked at Chen Fuji's back and touched the little black rabbit's head again.
There were a few straw toys scattered on the low table next to the cage.
I don't know who did it casually.
It’s different from what you buy outside, very unique.
Zhou Xu took a look.
Pulling out his phone, he took a picture of Xie Siyan: [This is a gift Chen Fuji brought you.]
Xie Siyan didn't reply.

It snowed heavily on the day Mu Jia returned to Beijing.
She didn't take the high-speed rail and chose a plane.
People in airport waiting hall.
The entire flight information screen is filled with a red "delayed" sign.
The repeated broadcasts echoed under the vaulted ceiling: "We regret to inform you that flight CA1XX7 has been delayed due to weather conditions..."
Mu Jia gathered her cashmere scarf and looked at the snow on the tarmac outside.
The runway lights cast a blurry halo in the snow. A plane was taxiing, its windows lit with warm yellow lights, but it stopped at the bend.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xie Siyan:
My flight may be delayed.
【I'll tell you when there's news.】
Mu Jia waited until the early morning, and the snow stopped.
As she was pulling her small carry-on suitcase towards the ticket inspection channel, she heard someone nearby discussing, "The weather this year is really weird. Blizzards in the south, drought in the north..."
Mu Jia touched his ears.
"Global warming is happening, and extreme weather will become more and more common in the future..." The voices of the discussion faded away from my ears.
Mu Jia showed his plane ticket and followed the crowd onto the corridor bridge. He took out his phone and sent a message to Xie Siyan:
I'm getting on the plane right away.
The other party replied quickly: [Have a safe journey.]
This journey was very tiring. After Mu Jia got on the plane and took his seat, he put on an eye mask and wanted to rest.
After a smooth flight, the lights in the cabin were dimmed.
Mu Jia sank deeply into the cabin seat.
The plane trembled slightly with the air current, the hum of the engine filtered into white noise by the noise-canceling headphones. Suddenly, there was an unusual turbulence.
There was a cry of surprise from the back seat——
"Will we be in danger if we take off in heavy snow?"
Mu Jia subconsciously gripped the armrest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts. The flight is now crossing unstable air currents and is expected to..."
The captain's broadcast voice, mixed with electrical noise, echoed in the cabin.
All the thoughts in Mu Jia's mind flashed by in an instant, and after a moment, the cabin finally returned to silence.
When getting off the plane, Mu Jia still felt his steps were weak.
Stepping on the gangway felt like stepping on a cashmere carpet. It felt a little better after I got on the shuttle bus.
Xie Siyan's car was parked on the second underground floor, near the elevator exit.
Mu Jia followed the indicator light and walked to a nearby location. When she saw him, she waved at him, "Xie Siyan!"
The man opened the car door and got out.
Mu Jia's legs went weak and she couldn't stand steadily when he came over, so the other person held her by the waist and supported her.
"I was terrified."
Mu Jia hugged his arm and said, "The plane took off forcefully on Xue Ye, and encountered severe turbulence. The baggage compartment door in the cabin in front of us was even shaken open..."
She clutched the fabric of his coat across her chest, barely recovering from the shock.
"Next time I encounter this kind of thing, I'll just change to the next flight and fly again when the weather is better..."
"Um."
Mu Jia nodded.
Only after I recovered did I realize what I had done.
She quickly distanced herself from him.
Xie Siyan did not force her. He took the luggage from her phone, put it in the trunk, and then opened the car door for her.
"What's this?"
As soon as Mu Jia got in, he noticed a small bamboo cage on the back seat, covered with cloth.
Very conspicuous.
Xie Siyan controlled the steering wheel and checked the route ahead: "Open it and take a look."
Mu Jia curiously lifted the curtain——
There was actually a little rabbit inside!
It was black and curled up like a small ball of fur. It was probably frightened by the noise outside and huddled up into a ball.
Fortunately, Xie Siyan covered it with a curtain, otherwise he would have been scared.
"So cute, was this given to you by someone else?"
Mu Jia held the cage, looked at it left and right, and couldn't let it go.
Xie Siyan curled his lips.
"no."
He seemed to have thought of something, and said in a cryptic way, "I think he wanted to give it to someone else. But they didn't want it, so they brought it to me."
Mu Jia was surprised by his description.
But she didn't have the inclination to get to the bottom of things, so she just held the cage and continued to watch the rabbit.
At around five in the morning, there were far fewer people on the main roads of Beijing than before the New Year. Xie Siyan directly sent Mu Jia to the downstairs of her apartment.
It seems that I came here just to act as a driver.
Mu Jia reluctantly put the cage back into the back seat, then stood up and picked up his coat.
"No more?"
Mu Jia turned around and looked at Xie Siyan.
Xie Siyan raised his eyebrows, saying meaningfully, "There's no point in me keeping that thing. No one's taking care of it at home, and I'm afraid it'll starve to death in a few days."
Mu Jia hurriedly took the cage back into his arms.
"Feed them some vegetables. It would be pitiful if they starved to death."
"So keep it," Xie Siyan got out of the car and took the luggage off.
He glanced at the drooping little rabbit in the cage and said indifferently, "Keep it. It might live longer."
Mu Jia was half-tricked by him into taking the little rabbit back to the apartment.
The luggage was placed at the entrance hall.
Mu Jia didn't care about anything else and hurried to the kitchen to get two dishes of water, which he carefully placed in front of Xiaotu.
Then open the cage door.
The little guy first pricked up his ears vigilantly and looked around. After a long time, he carefully stretched out his paws and moved out little by little.
Got some water to drink.
Mu Jia squatted aside, holding his chin with both hands, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
