The Gentle Man Next Door is a Rabbit - 15

 

TGMNDIAR - 15

"Why aren't you moving?" Xu Mu was surprised. He expected the lop-eared rabbit to react in some way, but it just lay limp in his palm, its body not trembling, no purring from its throat, just its nose twitching as usual.

He gently lifted the rabbit, guessing, "Are you here to play with me? Or did you come in because it's cold outside?"

Bai Nian found himself in a sluggish state, his mind buzzing, his round eyes staring motionlessly in a certain direction.

"The temperature has been changing a lot lately, and there's going to be heavy rain tomorrow. It's indeed quite cold at night." Xu Mu muttered to himself as he carried the lop-eared rabbit in his arms, returning to the room and lying down on the bed, with the rabbit resting on his chin.

Xu Mu cautiously observed the lop-eared rabbit, his fingers itching.

At first, he touched it quietly, but seeing no resistance, he touched it harder, from its head to its back, finally playing with its tail.

So comfortable. Xu Mu appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he couldn't help but marvel countless times. It wasn't just the softness of the fur, but also a slight bounce with some fat underneath. His fingers could easily sink into it.

Xu Mu knew that this was a small life, capable of moving, smiling, and crying, combined with its adorable appearance, a natural feeling of pity and reluctance emerged within him. Unable to resist, he rubbed his face against the rabbit's chubby cheeks.

"But you're still too thin, I can feel your bones..." Xu Mu's hand clasped around the rabbit's waist, gently massaging its back, then sliding down. "But your butt is quite fleshy."

Bai Nian froze, lifting his head in disbelief.

Unable to restrain himself, Xu Mu extended both of his sinful hands, cupping them together and rubbing back and forth.

—Hmm, so round and bouncy.

"Hiss!" Xu Mu only saw an object bouncing up, a blur passing by, and then his cheek was harshly hit.

He was stunned, instinctively reaching out to grab the rabbit.

The first attempt missed.

The second attempt grazed its side.

It wasn't until the third attempt that Xu Mu managed to completely re-capture the lop-eared rabbit. However, this time, the rabbit reacted violently, kicking and thrashing, and even headbutting Xu Mu.

He was quite startled, thinking something was wrong. Afraid to use too much force, he carefully held the rabbit, trying to soothe it.

"What's wrong... Did I hurt you... I'm sorry... Be good, don't kick around, I'm afraid you'll hit the table... Hey, I'm just holding you, not doing anything else... Don't be afraid..."

Bai Nian was also quite angry, his throat making gurgling sounds. The ears on his cheeks flew up, limbs moving in unison, feeling a burning rage inside.

Xu! Mu!

He glared angrily at the young man, kicking him fiercely.

—As expected, he shouldn't have expected anything from a pervert.

The fact that the other dared to buy a lifelike mimicry doll in front of him, even placing it in the room, what else wouldn't he dare to do!

Bai Nian looked around, feeling even more infuriated.

Good, okay, put it next to the pillow!

His anger grew as he thought of the young man inexplicably kissing him, those hands wandering restlessly, even touching his...

—"But your butt is quite fleshy."

Thinking of this sentence, Bai Nian trembled with anger, feeling like his whole body was about to catch fire.

Xu Mu, bewildered, awkwardly dodged the lop-eared rabbit's "punches and kicks."

He noticed Bai Nian occasionally glancing at the rabbit doll on the bed, hesitantly asking, "Are you angry because of the doll?"

Bai Nian kicked even harder.

Xu Mu hissed in pain.

He quickly grabbed the rabbit, struggling to restrain its limbs, then rolled onto the bed with it, wrapping it in a blanket. 

He coaxed gently, "Be good... The presence of this doll in my house is just a coincidence. I thought it looked a bit like you, that's why I exchanged it. Compared to it, I prefer you. You're the cutest..."

Xu Mu thought it was the rabbit's possessiveness at play. After all, he had a mischievous son at home before, which would go crazy scratching him whenever he came back after encountering a stray cat outside, making the floor shake with its stomping.

Thunk—Xu Mu was hit again.

Helpless, he didn't care too much, holding onto the lop-eared rabbit's feet to prevent it from moving recklessly. "Okay, don't be angry. I like you the most..."

His warm breath sprayed on Bai Nian's nose, causing him to feel slightly itchy. He coldly chuckled, ready to continue kicking.

Xu Mu was at a loss and dared not exert too much force. He could only resort to his most common tactic—pretending to be pitiful.

"Tutu... my arms hurt so much now, and my legs too..." Xu Mu lowered his voice, trying to sound weak and powerless.

But his two arms were like steel rods, tightly hugging the lop-eared rabbit. "Do you know? Today, I went through so much effort to earn points for a prize... Well, I know you don't like that doll, but I wanted to exchange it for you. If the stuffed rabbit wasn't milky coffee-colored, wasn't a lop-eared rabbit, or if it didn't have a short tail, I wouldn't have wanted to exchange it back..."

Xu Mu relied on the fact that the lop-eared rabbit couldn't understand human language, had simple thinking, and rambled on, but he tried his best to convey his pitiful state through his tone.

The rabbit couldn't speak, but it could sense emotions.

Xu Mu went closer and gently rubbed his chin against the rabbit's head, not daring to linger too long, quickly withdrawing and observing for a while. If the rabbit didn't struggle, he would sneakily rub back again.

Bai Nian's mood was complex. He thought about how the other person had been busy all day collecting victory badges and achievement points. 

Although part of it was for the rabbit doll, he had indeed spent a lot of thought and effort on Ye Ye's toys. His palms were marked with redness, his fingertips were trembling slightly, his legs were shaking, and his walk back home was unnatural...

Xu Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that the lop-eared rabbit in his arms had indeed stopped moving. So it fell for it.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Tutu... Can I hug you again?" Xu Mu asked softly.

Bai Nian glanced at him, the gurgling sound in his throat disappeared, and his ears slowly drooped. He felt at a loss, his hand that was suspended in mid-air returned to his stomach, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Seeing this response, Xu Mu immediately took advantage of the situation. He lifted the small blanket, first touched the lop-eared rabbit's back with his fingertips, then used the back of his hand to groom its fur, and finally opened his hands and took the rabbit into his arms again.

The warm, fluffy ball of fur nestled against Xu Mu's chest, sending tremors through his heart.

"Tutu..." Xu Mu exhaled softly, burying his face in the lop-eared rabbit's neck, murmuring, "I’ll just hold you, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, won't do anything... I really like you. In the world, only rabbits are the cutest... From the moment I saw you, I liked you... Your small body, your sparkling eyes, your soft ears, belly, and feet, although kicking your hurts a bit..."

Bai Nian: "..."

He suppressed the impulse to give the young man a good kick, silently chanting in his heart:

The young man had a hard time at the amusement park today, obviously exhausted. Let it go, don't get angry. He just likes rabbit mimicry things, he's usually a good kid, just has this pathological obsession with rabbits. Maybe he needs to go to the hospital for treatment later... 

"I’m really happy to see you again." He kept nuzzling the lop-eared rabbit with his nose, inhaling its scent greedily.

It's so amazing... it actually smells like flowers...

Xu Mu, as if intoxicated by some bewitching fragrance, couldn't get enough of it, wishing to bury his entire face in it.

"So fragrant... Tutu, the scent on your body smells so good..." He murmured in obsession, resembling a crazed maniac.

Bai Nian: "..."

He felt embarrassed, awkwardly trying to step back and push away, but was caught by the young man, who brought his hand to his lips and gently kissed it.

Bai Nian: "..."

He sighed inwardly, thinking, 'It's just a hand.'

Unconsciously, his boundaries kept receding, his tolerance increasing.

Xu Mu's fingers combed through the fur on the lop-eared rabbit's neck, and once again, he leaned in, burying his nose in its neck.

It really smells good, is it... shower gel?

He frowned slightly. Rabbits were delicate creatures, and sometimes a drastic drop in temperature overnight could be fatal. 

Therefore, it was not recommended to bathe rabbits unless absolutely necessary. And if it had to be done, one must check the rabbit's condition thoroughly and keep the water at a constant temperature with the bathroom heater on.

Xu Mu thought for a moment. This rabbit's physical condition should be quite healthy, with strong vitality, running around outside every day, displaying the demeanor of a wild rabbit.

So... bathing shouldn't be a problem?

He gently adjusted the lop-eared rabbit's ears and caressed it with his fingertips. Leaning closer, he asked softly, "Tutu? Did you take a bath?"

Bai Nian was stunned.

Xu Mu brought his face closer again, this time burying it towards the rabbit's belly, deeply inhaling, "So fragrant, I..." like this scent.

Before he could finish his sentence, his voice choked up, his eyes blinked, and he belatedly touched his own face.

Oh, he got scratched by the rabbit.

Bai Nian remained expressionless. Perhaps he had heard these crazy words so many times that he had become accustomed to these nonsensical ramblings and could no longer be stirred by them.

Xu Mu smiled. Although he didn't know how he managed to anger the lop-eared rabbit again, but...

He held its paw and placed it against his own cheek. "Alright, my bad. If you're upset, go ahead, don't keep it bottled up inside."

Xu Mu guided the rabbit's movement, he gently tapped his own face a few times with its paw. The fluffy sensation made his heart flutter.

"Feel better now?" Xu Mu asked with a smile. "Or do you want to do it a few more times?"

"Or maybe use your feet to step on me?" His Adam's apple bobbed.

His former naughty son loved to step on people, and he had to trim his nails almost every day.

At first, he had no choice but to be stepped on, but later on, he found that if the rabbit didn't apply too much force, or if it was through a blanket, it actually felt quite comfortable.

— It was an unconventional wake-up service.

However, some people say that when a rabbit sees you not moving, it's afraid you're dead, so it tries to wake you up by slapping or stepping on you.

Bai Nain: “...”

Bai Nian chuckled. Perhaps he no longer had any expectations for the young man's boundaries. Hearing these words, he surprisingly didn't find it unexpected at all.

Xu Mu wasn't sure, but he felt like he saw a human-like expression in the lop-eared rabbit just now.

"Were you... laughing just now?" Xu Mu asked uncertainly.

Bai Nian turned away, ignoring the young man.

Indeed, a pervert is a pervert, and nothing they do is surprising.
