Su Ruojin was awakened by being licked.
She opened her eyes and saw a mouse—no, a rabbit—or rather, a rabbit with deer ears. In any case, it was some strange little creature licking her face.
Seeing that Su Ruojin was awake, the little creature seemed to be startled, took a few steps back, held its two little front paws, stared with big eyes, tilted its head, and looked at Su Ruojin curiously.
Su Ruojin slowly sat up, a sharp pain shooting through her head, which must have been from accidentally hitting her head when she fell.
"Xiao Yanchu, Xiao Yanchu." Su Ruojin came to her senses and, without paying attention to the little guy, hurriedly looked around for Xiao Yanchu.
The little creature was startled by her sudden cry, flicked its big tail, and flew to the side, still looking at Su Ruojin.
"Ah Jin, I'm here." Xiao Yanchu, who was not far away, also woke up and responded to Su Ruojin.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xiao Yanchu also sat up, covering her head.
Only after confirming that Xiao Yanchu was alright did Su Ruojin feel relieved and begin to look around.
This place is completely different from the previous pool; it's like a stone cave, empty and very hot.
Su Ruojin looked up and saw that the top of the hole where the two had fallen was blocked by a large rock, which meant that the pool above was where they had been before.
She turned her gaze to the little one not far away.
The little creature was entirely white, its body shape resembled a mouse, but it had the appearance of a rabbit, with pointed ears like those of a deer, and a long tail trailing behind it.
Seeing the little guy's adorable appearance, Su Ruojin reached out her hand to it: "Little guy, come here."
The little guy tilted his head, as if considering what Su Ruojin had said.
Then it raised its tail and flew towards Su Ruojin.
It does fly; the entire flight is accomplished by swaying its large tail.
Whoosh~
The little guy flew into Su Ruojin's arms, raised his head and looked at her with his big eyes, then let out a cry.
"Woof~ woof~"
Su Ruojin: !!!
She never expected that such a small creature would bark like a dog.
"It's called the Ear Mouse, a legendary mythical beast. It's said that eating its flesh can cure abdominal bloating and make one immune to all poisons. According to relevant records, the Ear Mouse was extinct long ago. I never expected to encounter it here."
Xiao Yanchu explained.
"How did you know?" Su Ruojin asked, touching the little one in her arms.
"I read about this in a book when I was young. It is very intelligent and only stays with people with pure hearts."
Seeing the ear mouse that kept rubbing against Su Ruojin's arms, Xiao Yanchu frowned, walked over, and lifted it up by the neck.
The little guy waved his little hands in mid-air, glaring at Xiao Yanchu, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The more Su Ruojin looked at the little guy, the cuter he seemed, and she snatched him from Xiao Yanchu's arms and held him in her arms.
“It will be uncomfortable if you carry it like that.”
The little guy nestled his head tightly against Su Ruojin's chest, looking at Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu actually saw provocation in its eyes.
This guy!!!
"Just throw it away, it's too much trouble to carry around," Xiao Yanchu suggested.
He had only wanted to see if the ear mouse was male or female, but Su Ruojin snatched it back before he could even get a good look.
There's no need to look at its behavior now; it's definitely male.
"Woof woof~~" The little guy barked twice at Xiao Yanchu upon hearing this.
Su Ruojin didn't understand the language of the ear-mouse, but she could guess what it meant from its little expressions.
This is a protest against Xiao Yanchu.
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "It's so small, it's not a hassle to carry around. Little guy, let me give you a name. Hmm, you're quite fair-skinned and feel fluffy to the touch, so I'll call you Mao Mao."
Xiao Yanchu:......
