Sikong Qing and Yun Lian sat in the back seat as the grand convoy headed towards Lanyue Pavilion.
The moment the vehicle entered Lanyue Pavilion, all guards were on high alert and only allowed to pass after a thorough check.
Upon hearing the car, Ji Huaixi went downstairs early to wait.
Sikong Qing carried the sleeping Yun Lian upstairs from the back seat. Although Ji Huaixi was annoyed, she couldn't bear to wake her and followed closely behind the two.
On the huge, soft bed, Yun Lian lay there, appearing even smaller.
The two went downstairs in tacit agreement, and after confirming that Yun Lian could not hear them, they quickly engaged in combat.
"Lieutenant General Si, the battle is fierce, how come you still have time to hang around the rabbit?"
Sikong Qing's punches landed in places that Ji Huaixi couldn't easily see.
"Protecting Professor Yun is my job. But you, how can you let Professor Yun support you?"
Ji Huaixi instantly withdrew her hand like a butterfly, her smile irritating.
"I'm a little embarrassed. I also want to go to the battlefield, but Rabbit told me to stay home and have babies for her. Tell me, can I refuse? Of course, I can only stay home and take better care of myself to help relieve her eye strain."
At that moment, Fu Qiyu, dressed in military uniform, walked in through the cold wind. He paused when he saw Sikong Qing, then continued walking to Ji Huaixi.
"The rabbit is still not awake?"
Ji Huaixi's wolf tail swayed happily.
"She just got back and is still asleep. She'll probably wake up when dinner is ready."
Fu Qiyu took off his military uniform, put on a pink bunny apron, and strode straight into the kitchen.
Ji Huaixi simply ignored it, happily wearing a white hat, and skipped over to the dessert area.
"Then I'll prepare dessert. Rabbit loves my carrot cake the most."
Sikong Qing pursed his thin lips, stood there for a long time, then turned and left, pulling the door open.
He is not welcome here.
But just as he was about to leave, Yun Lian's voice rang out.
"Sikong Qing, would you like to have a simple meal?"
The three of them turned around at the same time, and what they saw was Yun Lian wearing a white nightgown, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her bare feet on the carpet.
Upon seeing this, Fu Qiyu immediately dropped the vegetables he was chopping, ran to Yun Lian's side, picked her up, and lifted her off the ground.
"Why didn't you wake me up? Even with a carpet, you could easily catch a cold."
Yun Lian draped her arms around Fu Qiyu's neck; he always felt very insecure.
"Don't worry, my health indicators are great, and besides, the weather isn't cold right now."
Fu Qiyu held her feet in his palms and warmed them.
Yun Lian asked again.
"Sikong Qing, would you like to stay for a simple meal?"
Sikong Qing had been protecting Yun Lian for a year, but this was the first time he had entered Yun Lian's living environment.
"Okay, excuse me for interrupting you."
This was also the first time Yun Lian had spoken to him since healing his tail.
Ji Huaixi was so busy squeezing cream that, upon hearing Sikong Qing's words, the cream was squeezed crookedly.
He was irritable, making random noises with his mouth and secretly grinding his teeth.
Yun Lian was placed on the sofa by Fu Qiyu, who went back to cook without saying a word.
Sikong Qing took the opportunity to look around at the furnishings, which were just as he had imagined when he saw them outside; rabbit elements were everywhere.
Yun Lian had spent three months in the lab and barely slept. She had only curled up on the sofa for a short while before falling asleep again, clutching her rabbit plushie.
Sikong Qing stared at her little feet, which were tucked together to keep warm, and took out a blanket to cover her with it.
Ji Huaixi gestured to him from a distance, but Sikong Qing remained unmoved and steadfastly stood guard by Yun Lian's side.
Ji Huaixi, in a fit of pique, ran to Fu Qiyu's side and started cricketing at him.
Fu Qiyu was cold and ruthless, as if no one but Yun Lian could stir his emotions. He pushed Ji Huaixi away with a palm.
Ji Huaixi lowered her voice: "Why don't you believe me? Sikong Qing is definitely up to no good, otherwise why would he keep getting close to Rabbit? We can't let him live!"
Fu Qiyu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and explained, "He is the general who protects Rabbit closely, and he has to revolve around her."
Ji Huaixi exploded again: "Why don't you trust my intuition? Don't I know how I got to where I am? I know his eyes all too well."
Fu Qiyu paused, looked up at Ji Huaixi, and spoke with a sorrowful tone.
"Ji Huaixi, if he really has designs on Rabbit, and Rabbit is satisfied with him, do you think we can drive him away?"
Fu Qiyu's voice was sorrowful yet tinged with a hint of relief.
"No one can stop two loving hearts from colliding."
None of us can do it.
How could he not be jealous of Sikong Qing's existence?
You can stay with your rabbit 24/7.
But he wasn't as quick-witted as Sikong Qing, nor as eloquent as Ji Huaixi.
He was jealous of everyone who could be by Yun Lian's side.
But he was also grateful that he had a place by Yun Lian's side, allowing him to get close to her, take care of her, see her radiant, and also see her cry with emotion.
Ji Huaixi stomped her feet, filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.
"So we're just going to let him get close to Rabbit with ill intentions? Rabbit is so busy, she doesn't even have enough time to spend with us. If we add him to the mix, I don't know if I'll become depressed."
Ji Huaixi turned around unintentionally and suddenly started making a big fuss.
"Look, look, he's even holding the rabbit in his arms! Is this how security personnel should act? Who would hold a rabbit in their arms like that?!"
While chatting with him, Fu Qiyu didn't stop working and quickly finished a simple four-dish meal with soup.
"Alright, serve the dishes."
Ji Huaixi was reluctant, staring longingly in Yun Lian's direction, almost turning back every few steps.
The more Ji Huaixi thought about it, the angrier he became. He secretly made up his mind that he would ask Rabbit for his true thoughts in a little while.
Otherwise, it would be like the Sword of Damocles hanging over one's head, causing anxiety and unease.
