…

I haven't slept well these past few days.

Now that she was sleeping in a small hotel with a fan at night, Yang Niannian overslept and found in the morning that she had missed the first train.

She looked at the neatly dressed Lu Shishen with resentment, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Don't worry. There is another bus at 10 o'clock. It's only 8:05 now. You still have time to get up, wash, have breakfast and set off." Lu Shishen said calmly.

Yang Niannian hadn't had a good rest these days, so seeing that she was sleeping soundly in the morning, he didn't wake her up.

Hearing that Lu Shishen had everything planned out, Yang Niannian was no longer in a hurry. She stretched and got out of bed. Lu Shishen tactfully opened the door and went out, asking her to change clothes in the room.

After packing up, the two went downstairs to check out. The landlady felt a little embarrassed about calling the police yesterday, and kept laughing awkwardly.

The two ate buns nearby and then took a bus to the train station.

The journey was smooth, but it was dark when they arrived in Haicheng. Fortunately, the two were lucky and had a ox cart ride for a while, and they could reach the army in more than a mile.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, making it just like broad daylight, with unobstructed vision.

When the two were almost at the army, Yang Niannian was suddenly attracted by the movement in the bushes by the roadside. She stopped and wanted to see what it was.

Lu Shishen thought she was frightened and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's a hare."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Yang Niannian's eyes were as bright as stars. "Hurry up and grab it. I like rabbit meat the most."

Lu Shishen, "..."

He looked at her deeply, said nothing, and bent down to put the luggage bag on the ground.

Yang Niannian was waiting with great anticipation for Lu Shishen to go into the grass to catch a rabbit, but he did not tiptoe forward as she expected. Instead, he calmly picked up two pebbles from the roadside and walked into the grass.

Before Yang Niannian could see his movements clearly, she heard two screams coming from the bushes.

After a while, he came back holding two rabbits' ears.

Yang Niannian was stunned. She looked at Rabbit in astonishment, then looked at him, "Lu Shishen, you, you are too amazing, aren't you?"

It was the first time she saw someone throwing rocks with their hands, and it was as powerful as a launcher.

"They are too fat and have slow reactions," said Lu Shishen.

Yang Niannian imitated his movements of throwing stones at rabbits, "You can't just hit the rabbits so hard that they can't run away with just two swipes, and you hit two at once, you can't really know some unique martial arts, right?"

As she spoke, Yang Niannian became excited, her eyes sparkling, "Do you know how to fly over rooftops and walls? How about you take me flying for a while?"

“…”

Lu Shishen held the rabbit in silence.

When Yang Niannian saw him like this, she suddenly felt that she was overthinking. Things like light Kung Fu violated the theory of gravity. He was not a god, so why could he fly?

Isn't she just driving the sow up a tree to make things difficult for people?

Yang Niannian stopped thinking and wanted to pick up the rabbit but was worried that it might bite her, so she picked up the luggage bag.

"Let's go back quickly. An An might not be asleep yet."

Seeing her slightly lost look, Lu Shishen pursed his thin lips, wanting to say something but not saying anything. He took the luggage bag from her, holding the luggage in one hand and the two rabbit ears in the other, which actually looked a bit funny.

The two walked for seven or eight minutes and finally returned to the family compound. An An and Zhou Haiyang were still awake and were sitting on the bed playing with paper cards. When they heard some noise in the main room, the two children ran out excitedly.

"Dad, aunt, you are back? I missed you so much."

An An rushed over and hugged Yang Niannian's waist, laughing and pouting her little mouth, almost crying, but he stubbornly kept his little face tense, trying not to let the tears fall.

Zhou Haiyang laughed at the side, "Aunt Yang, An An is about to cry."

An An's face turned red, and the tears that were about to fall were instantly held back. She puffed out her cheeks and spoke.

"Who's crying? I'm not."

Knowing that he missed them, Yang Niannian smiled and ruffled his hair, "Auntie misses you too, look what Daddy got for you."

Hearing that she used "you guys" instead of you, An An felt a little jealous. It seemed that his aunt only wanted him.

When An An saw the wild rabbit in his father's hand, his eyes lit up immediately, and he forgot about being jealous, and shouted excitedly, "Little rabbit."

Zhou Haiyang opened his eyes wide and exaggeratedly flattered him, "Wow, Uncle Lu is so awesome, these two rabbits are so cute."

Seeing them so happy, Yang Niannian decided to make them even happier.

"I will stew these two rabbits tomorrow, and you can eat rabbit meat when you come back. These two rabbits are so fat that they can make a big pot of stew."

Thinking of the taste of braised rabbit meat, Yang Niannian's eyes lit up and she even felt like she could smell the aroma of the meat.

There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Shishen's dark eyes. She was afraid that she would not be able to eat these two rabbits.

Sure enough, Zhou Haiyang and An An were very dissatisfied after they realized what was going on.

"Aunt Yang, rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them?" Zhou Haiyang looked heartbroken.

An An was about to cry, and she clasped her hands together, "Aunt, I beg you, can you please not eat the rabbit?"

Yang Niannian, "Then...eat one first?"

An An shook his head, "No, the only one left would be very pitiful and lonely."

He looked at Yang Niannian pitifully, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Yang Niannian, “…” But she really wanted to eat rabbit!

Kids these days are starving, so shouldn’t they drool just as much as she does when they see a rabbit?

Why are you reluctant to eat it?

"Auntie, please." An An pulled Yang Niannian's sleeve with tears in her eyes.

Yang Niannian also wanted to cry. Such a fat rabbit, but she could only look at it but not eat it. Looking at the pitiful eyes of the two children, she forced herself to smile like a kind grandmother.

"Okay, okay, I won't eat them anymore. I'll buy a cage tomorrow and put them in it."

Changing the subject, she solemnly declared, "I have to be frank. You are the ones who want to raise these two rabbits. From now on, the task of finding grass for them will be left to you. I will not be responsible for raising and feeding them."

The two children were so happy that they agreed immediately and let Lu Shishen put the rabbit into their house. They didn't even think about sticking with their father and aunt anymore. They closed the door and windows and went into the house to watch the rabbit.

After sitting on the train for a whole day and walking for a while, Yang Niannian was sweating all over. She wanted to take a shower and go to bed to rest, but when she turned around and saw Lu Shishen, who had a tall and straight figure and a sharp face, she was instantly filled with strength.

The rabbit is so attractive, which seems to be a good thing. No one disturbs her and Lu Shishen.

There was a sly smirk in her eyes. "I'm going to take a shower first. You should go back to your room and rest for a while. You've been running around these past few days and you must be much more tired than me."

Lu Shishen nodded, but was not idle. He wiped the straw mat with a rag that had been wrung out of water, and then pointed the electric fan at the bed for a while.

Soon, Yang Niannian finished her shower and returned to the room in her nightgown. She wiped her wet hair with a towel and urged, "I'm done, you go wash quickly."

Lu Shishen glanced at her smooth and white calves, turned away uncomfortably, picked up his clothes and left the room.
