When did you fall in love with it?
Slov caressed the drooping ears of the person in his arms with heartache. The edges of the ears were pink and tender.
But he didn't react at all.
It wasn't until Slov's hand was on his other ear that he frowned, slapped the troublesome hand away, and turned over.
He couldn't remember clearly, maybe it was the first time that proud little rabbit punched him? Or the first time he grinned at him and walked towards him without any guard?
Forgot.
The only thing I remember is:
A little rabbit with no fighting ability always dreams of protecting a poisonous snake.
Isn’t it cute?
Ace rolled over and leaned his head back over, his ears moving slightly with the movement.
That was more like a silent accusation, as his ears could no longer stand upright flexibly after his injury.
He was an orphan, and as far as he could remember, the planet was already a slum. Later, in order to cooperate with interstellar integration, the slums were demolished and all the old houses and buildings were razed to the ground to build an amusement park.
Those who live in the slums have no identity, no proof of property ownership, and are not renting. Not only do they become homeless, they also receive no compensation at all.
Slov started wandering when he was only ten years old. He slept in tunnels, park benches, and parking lots.
It can be said that Slov's childhood is a memory that he almost does not want to recall.
I met Ace when Bai Yan brought him back to the Bai family as a bodyguard. He seemed to be 23 years old. He had made a name for himself in the underground boxing ring and finally no longer had to be homeless.
But only after being brought back by Bai Yan did he truly have a home.
Slov is very capable and almost invincible in the underground boxing ring. After he came to the Bai family, he quickly became Bai Yan's right-hand man, but this also made him arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone equal, and looking down on everyone.
When I first met Ace, he was still in high school. His personality was just like a rabbit, lively and active, and he seemed to have endless energy.
Ever since Ace appeared in his life, his days had become... different.
"Slov!" The young man's clear voice echoed in the courtyard, like a gust of spring breeze blowing towards him.
Slov was looking down at the weapon in his hand. When he looked up at the sound, he saw Ace running towards him.
"What?" He asked in a cold tone, but his eyes fell on Ace's face involuntarily.
Ace ran up to him, panting, smiling brightly, showing off his white teeth: "Nothing, I just came to see you. I haven't spoken to you in such a long time."
Slov looked down at the weapon in his hand and gently wiped the blood stains on the blade. He was in no hurry to put it down. Instead, he seemed not to care about Ace's arrival.
However, Ace's smile today made Slov's heart skip a beat.
That smile was so bright and so defenseless, like sunlight shining through the clouds into the heart, warm and dazzling.
"You just came to see me for no reason?" Slov frowned slightly, his tone still cold, but he felt a little reluctant in his heart.
Ace's smile widened, his eyes curved into crescents. "Well, I thought you were lonely. Seeing you so serious, I thought you had something to do."
Slov's brows relaxed a little, and he shook his head gently: "I'm fine, go do your own thing."
"But you didn't talk to me." Ace pouted, looking a little disappointed.
Although he was lost, Ace was full of curiosity about Slov, both about the man and his past.
As long as he was not in class, Ace would come to see Slov from time to time.
Ace stood aside, watching Slov pump his fists vigorously, sweat dripping down his body.
Oh no.
So awesome.
Unfortunately, he was lazy. Bai Yan had asked him if he wanted to learn from the bodyguards, but Ace knew his own limitations and gave up.
"Wow, Slov, you're truly amazing! You always leave me in awe," Ace couldn't help but smile, his eyes shining like stars. "Have you ever considered that if you changed careers and became a celebrity, you'd definitely be even more impressive than those movie stars!"
Siluof couldn't help but curl his lips: "What are you thinking about? How can someone like me become a star?"
People like Ace should be stars, they are so dazzling.
Slov was not used to this kind of closeness; he was used to doing things alone and in silence, and he didn't want to be seen as vulnerable.
But whenever Ace appeared, the loneliness in his heart seemed to be dispelled. Even just a word or a smile was enough to make him feel warm.
Ace is always omnipresent, like a warm breeze, gently blowing through Slov's life.
Ace shrugged, his smile still bright. "Who knows? Anyway, whatever you do will be cool."
Slov's heartbeat quickened slightly. Although he tried hard to suppress the change on his face, he felt a strange throbbing in his heart.

"Why are there so many scars?" One day, after training, Ace suddenly approached Slov, his eyes fixed on his back, with the scars on his back exposed to the air.
Slov's face darkened slightly, he quickly put on his clothes and pursed his lips: "Nothing, it's the past."
Ace frowned, took a few steps closer, and whispered, "Does it hurt? It must be very painful. I tell you, I'm afraid of pain."
The concern and tenderness in his eyes made Slov feel an indescribable complex emotion, as if he was touched by something.
But it also stung Slov's eyes.
He doesn't need anyone's pity.
Those pitying eyes seemed to be mocking his incompetence.
"I'm not afraid." Although Slov's tone was cold, the unnatural hesitation could not be completely concealed in his words.
Ace gave a thumbs up, "Okay, then I can only give you a thumbs up."
This surprised Slov, as it was completely different from what he had expected.
Shouldn't he be preaching to himself, telling himself not to carry it all alone, and to take good care of himself and not get hurt?
"You...just said that?" Slov didn't understand.
?
Ace looked at Slov doubtfully, not quite understanding why he said that?
"What else should I say?" After a moment of thought, "Hmm~ How about I ask my teacher to get you some scar removal medicine?"
Looking at his appearance just now, he must have thought he was too ugly and was afraid of being seen by himself, right?
Ace's suggestion made Slov stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, and a crooked smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That's interesting.
"You really are..." Slov said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
