The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 13

A great sense of grievance welled up in her heart. Tu Jiaojiao’s gaze fell upon the meat rabbits, and her mind was filled with the sour taste of lemons.

Ling Hanyan, you need to follow basic principles when praising a rabbit!

Those two rabbits were filthy, huddling in a cramped wire cage, stuffing rotten vegetable leaves that had been stepped on into their mouths. How could they be as cute as she was!

She wished she could transform into the appearance of an Angora rabbit right now, just to show Ling Hanyan how beautiful she was!

But her older sister had instructed her that she would compile the love contract into a document and then reveal everything to Ling Hanyan. Before that, she absolutely must not expose her identity as a Moon Rabbit.

Therefore, even though her heart was sour enough to grind a mouthful of rabbit teeth, Tu Jiaojiao still couldn’t show it, lest Ling Hanyan think she was out of her mind for competing with a rabbit for affection.

She gripped her handbag, walked over, and forced a smile: “They are quite cute. Yanyan, do you want to keep a rabbit?”

Ling Hanyan didn’t notice the slight strangeness in her tone and shook her head, saying: “I wish I could. I’ve loved bunnies ever since I was little; I think they are adorable! Unfortunately, I’m busy with work and often away from home, so I can’t personally take care of them.”

“I see…” Tu Jiaojiao nodded. She felt much better after knowing that Ling Hanyan didn’t plan to buy these two rabbits and worship them like ancestors.

She stayed with Ling Hanyan, watching the rabbits for a while until the stall owner grew impatient and started rushing them to leave.

The market was quite noisy, and after wandering for a bit, they felt somewhat annoyed.

Ling Hanyan took Tu Jiaojiao to a tavern on a side street. The proprietress here knew Director Li; they had rested here before heading up the mountain.

The proprietress was very perceptive. Upon recognizing Ling Hanyan as a member of the Queen of the Crane Spirit crew, she kept quiet and led the two directly to a private room upstairs.

Sitting down in the private room and inhaling the faint scent of tea, Tu Jiaojiao’s mood visibly improved.

This was the date she had envisioned! The memory of looking at rabbits in the market just now was completely scratched off! All that was left was Yan Yan’s beautiful profile!

After ordering tea and dessert, Tu Jiaojiao glanced at Ling Hanyan, her heart once again stirred by her bright and stunning appearance.

Remembering an important matter, she asked: “Yanyan, besides rabbits, do you like any other small animals? Like cats or dogs?”

“Other than bunnies…” Ling Hanyan paused, then smiled and shook her head, “Probably not. The first rabbit I ever saw when I was little was one my grandma was looking after for a friend. That might have established my fondness for this animal.”

“I remember that rabbit was entirely white, as clean as fresh snow. Its fur was very long and soft, and its body was quite large. Compared to the rabbits we just saw, it was simply a peony in the human world (a very beautiful and noble thing).”

Why does that sound so much like my original form?

Tu Jiaojiao blinked, restraining the flutter in her heart, and asked: “Did it have long fur on the tips of its ears?”

Ling Hanyan: “Yes, it did! And its ears stood straight up. I mentioned it to my friends before, and they all thought it was a Lop rabbit, but I went to a pet store and saw that it wasn’t a Lop.”

Ahhh! Yan Yan’s dream rabbit is the Angora Rabbit!

Tu Jiaojiao was so happy her heart almost leaped out of her chest. She had been skeptical about the “falling in love at first sight” told by Sister Mi, but now she suddenly gained a lot of confidence!

Yanyan likes Angora rabbits.

I am an Angora rabbit.

By substitution: Yanyan likes me!!

She subconsciously ignored the fact that the subtle feelings between people and the affection between people and animals are completely different types, and happily reveled in her own secret joy.

Ling Hanyan didn’t know why the girl across from her suddenly became visibly happy, but seeing her innocent smile, her own nerves seemed to relax.

“Jiaojiao, do you like rabbits?” she asked.

“I do!” Of course, Jiaojiao liked herself and her older sister.

After taking a sip of fragrant tea, Ling Hanyan wiped the lipstick mark off the rim of the cup: “Then why don’t you keep one? I see many working people keep small animals at home.”

“I do keep one! And it’s an Angora rabbit!” The desire for Yanyan to see her original form began to surge, and Tu Jiaojiao blurted it out.

As expected, Ling Hanyan’s interest was piqued: “Oh? Do you have a picture? Let me see quickly.”

“Okay, let me find it.”

It was a good thing her sister had helped her take photos during her cultivation. Tu Jiaojiao let out a light breath, selected the prettiest photo, and showed it to Yanyan.

Ling Hanyan took the phone, her gaze lingering on the white fluff ball for a very long time, so long that Tu Jiaojiao began to feel uneasy.

She was absolutely confident in how cute her original form was, but… Yanyan, looking at it without saying a word is quite scary…

Finally, she couldn’t help but lightly cough, bringing Ling Hanyan’s attention back.

The latter returned the phone with a normal expression, but her ear tips were turning red, and a storm was raging in her heart.

She had actually held back part of her statement just now. It wasn’t just her childhood memory that made her love rabbits, but also her dreams.

She was a light sleeper and often had nightmares, but every time she was scared or about to break down, a white Angora rabbit, pure as snow, gentle, light, and surrounded by a warm glow, would appear in her dream.

This rabbit was the little elf that guided her out of the nightmares. Sometimes it would grow very large and swallow the monster, and sometimes it would glow and point her in the right direction…

Because this reason was too fantastical and non-materialistic, she had never mentioned it to anyone.

And the rabbit that protected her in her dreams looked exactly like the one on Tu Jiaojiao’s phone not just the features and expression, but even the angle of its head, slightly tilted while squatting, was the same!

The desire to possess this rabbit, to become its owner and shield it from harm, surged in her mind almost instantly.

But reason told her that this was her fan’s beloved pet, and she couldn’t steal it.

That’s why she had spent so long internally arguing with herself.

Thank goodness, this rabbit is Jiaojiao’s pet.

She must be the kind of person who is kind and generous to small animals, who will wholeheartedly cherish this rabbit.

“What is its name?” Ling Hanyan was somewhat distracted, her mind preoccupied. She asked abruptly halfway through her meal.

“Uh, Little Moon?” Tu Jiaojiao had been so focused on showing off her image that she completely neglected to create a backstory for this non-existent pet.

The first word that popped into her mind was the pet name Sister Mi used for her older sister. Her brain involuntarily adopted it.

But the moment she said it, she regretted it. How awkward would it be if they met later and brought up ‘Little Moon’?

After the meal, Tu Jiaojiao insisted on walking Ling Hanyan back to the filming location. Halfway up the mountain, she noticed someone walking towards them who looked familiar.

She lowered her voice: “Yan Yan, look, is that Lin Yingxue? Her eyes are red, she looks like she’s been crying…”
