The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 33

“So this is the contract your Moon Rabbit clan signs with a person who is important to you, right? The kind you can only sign with one person?”

After listening to Tu Jiaojiao’s narration, a sudden surge of warmth rushed into Ling Hanyan’s quiet heart.

If she could truly only be tied to one person for a lifetime, then she hoped that person would be Tu Jiaojiao.

In the twenty-eight years before meeting Tu Jiaojiao, she had never entertained the thought of maintaining an eternal relationship with anyone, always taking things one step at a time.

But she never expected the jade contract the girl handed her now would give her hope, satisfying the desire in her heart to be close to someone.

But… was she too selfish, actually wanting to use the unavoidable nature of the Moon Rabbit clan to tie down the little rabbit…

“Yes…” Tu Jiaojiao had just been cornered, which was why she directly took out the wooden box and revealed everything about the contract jade.

Who knows where the little rabbit got the courage.

However, she was still shy, so she slightly sugarcoated it, replacing the locked-in romantic relationship with the ‘most important person in this life.’

But now, seeing Yanyan’s dark eyes fixed on her, and hearing her ask this somewhat sharp question, she began to regret it, regretting her impulsiveness.

“Then I can’t sign this contract with you.”

Ling Hanyan pondered for a long time before replying. Her tone, mixed with her usual coolness, was resolute.

“I see… well, alright then.” She hadn’t expected this answer, and Tu Jiaojiao felt her whole body was submerged in a frozen river or lake in winter.

Her face turned pale, and she lowered her head, her eyes flickering.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to breathe a feeling of suffocation slowly crept in, as if the air around her had been drained.

Her nose felt sore, her eyes hot, and wet, salty drops slid down her cheeks.

Tu Jiaojiao sniffled, thinking how weak she was to cry over such a small matter.

But when she was sad, it was like a leaf obscuring her vision no matter what she did, she could only see the negative side, and she couldn’t stop her emotions.

The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt, and the harder she cried, as if venting something with her tears.

“Jiaojiao, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Seeing Tu Jiaojiao’s body suddenly slump, squatting on the ground, and sobbing quietly while holding her head.

Ling Hanyan’s heart inexplicably ached too, and she frantically searched for tissues.

This was the first time she had encountered a situation that made her feel so heartbroken and was so difficult to handle, so she could only hold the girl in her arms, patting her thin back to comfort her.

Organizing her thoughts, she said in a dry voice, “Be good, Jiaojiao, don’t cry.

I’m not rejecting you; it’s just that, as you said, I feel this contract is a very, very important thing to you, and it might not be good to sign it hastily with me right now.

What if you fall in love later? Then your lover would be the most important person to you.”

“Only one…” The girl’s reply was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, but Ling Hanyan still caught it.

She looked confused. “What is only one?”

“There is only one most important person, and that’s you. Yanyan is a dummy…” In Ling Hanyan’s embrace, smelling the familiar scent of rose wine, Tu Jiaojiao gradually calmed down.

She wiped her tears, realizing she had been overthinking, and there was even a smile on her face when she called Ling Hanyan a dummy.

“But when you fall in love, when you have someone you like…” Ling Hanyan stopped mid-sentence, and her mind suddenly cleared.

This rabbit liked her so much, and had even told her the most important secret of her bloodline.

With such blatant and passionate love laid bare before her, how could the girl possibly go on to like someone else?

Jiaojiao was too subtle! She was not only a dummy but also an idiot, a big idiot who almost pushed the Guardian Rabbit she had just managed to find into someone else’s arms!

“Jiaojiao, I’ve changed my mind.” When she looked up again, Ling Hanyan’s eyes were filled with lingering tenderness.

She gently kissed the girl’s reddened eyes. “Let’s sign the contract, the contract that ties the two of us together forever.”

“But…” Tu Jiaojiao was overwhelmed, even wondering if Ling Hanyan had taken the wrong medicine, or if she’d simply lost her balance, causing her soft, fragrant lips to brush against her eyelid.

Ling Hanyan interrupted her. “Though I don’t know the exact effect of signing the contract, I don’t have other friends you are the only person I want to keep in contact with and stay close to. Even if you fall for someone else later, I won’t regret it.”

“Yanyan, this is actually called a ‘Love Contract.’ If we sign it, we’ll be in a dating relationship, and we can’t separate.”

Perhaps Ling Hanyan had given Tu Jiaojiao the courage to be bold, and she decided to confess honestly.

“Mmm…” Ling Hanyan drew out the sound, and before Tu Jiaojiao could worry if she had overstepped, she gripped her hand. “I know. So, Little Rabbit, will you be with me?”

Afraid Tu Jiaojiao might misunderstand again, she said directly, “Be with me as in a romantic relationship.”

“Yes! I will!” Tu Jiaojiao was so happy she nearly kicked off her back legs and leaped to the sky, probably feeling the same excitement the whole country felt when Beijing won the bid for the 2008 Olympics!

“Silly rabbit.” Ling Hanyan smiled helplessly, seeing stars suddenly sparkle in Tu Jiaojiao’s eyes, all the previous sadness completely gone.

She was an actress and should be used to the feeling of influencing others’ emotions, but why did she never want to see Tu Jiaojiao cry?

She only wanted to see her smiling, happily smiling.

Ling Hanyan half-hugged, half-coaxed the girl back onto the sofa, kissed the crown of her head, and left with the words, “Wait here.”

Tu Jiaojiao didn’t know what she was going to do, but she obediently complied, listening to her own pounding heart.

Seeing the two humans’ emotions stabilize, Little White no longer hid far away to peek. It boldly ran over and lay down next to Tu Jiaojiao.

Tu Jiaojiao heard its inner voice, which was actually advising her: “Be loving and friendly, don’t fight! I still need you two to find my sister!”

When Ling Hanyan returned with the first-aid kit, this was the scene she saw.

Tu Jiaojiao was holding the white cat the two animals, who should have been enemies, were now not only close but also murmuring to each other about something unknown.

Faint smiles occasionally appeared on the girl’s face, while the kitten mewed sweetly.

The sky was dark the night wind swept in from the window, occasionally catching the girl’s hair and causing the cat’s ears to twitch slightly.

“Jiaojiao, do I take the heart tip blood from here?” Ling Hanyan strode over, opened the first-aid kit, took out a lancet (the peripheral blood collector used by doctors for checkups), and gestured with it at her fingertip.

A while ago, when she questioned Tu Jiaojiao’s identity, she read many supernatural novels, which all said the blood from the ring finger, being closest to the heart, was the heart-tip blood.

“No!” Tu Jiaojiao was startled and quickly snatched the sharp object away. “Who told you that? Put it down quickly, you might cut yourself!”

She gave Ling Hanyan a disapproving look and said helplessly, “No matter what others say, our Moon Rabbit clan doesn’t use a knife to get heart tip blood.”

After saying that, she put the cat aside to play by itself and instead took Ling Hanyan’s hand.

The touch was slightly cool but very soft.

Tu Jiaojiao scratched the alluring small mole on her palm and said, “Close your eyes and follow my feeling to find it.”

A stream of spiritual power was transferred from her palm to Ling Hanyan’s hand, and then, under her command, it transformed into strands nourishing Ling Hanyan’s meridians.

When passing the heart, it lingered for a moment, and only after it had played enough did it continue forward, carrying a drop of blood.

Before long, Ling Hanyan’s entire body was strolled through grandly and yet carefully, as if the spiritual power treated her body as a treasure.

There was no wound, no pain, but a streak of red miraculously seeped out from her palm.

This streak of red vanished instantly and merged with the drop of heart tip blood Tu Jiaojiao had just coaxed out of herself.

“Do you feel uncomfortable?” Tu Jiaojiao had been as gentle as possible, but she was still worried.

“Warm.” Ling Hanyan shook her head with a smile. After her entire body had been ‘combed through,’ she felt a comfort she had never experienced before.

Tu Jiaojiao’s spiritual power was very gentle, with a warmth that made one want to drown in it.

“That’s good. Help me open the box.” Tu Jiaojiao relaxed and chuckled.

Because their hands were still clasped, she had to use one hand to press down on the wooden box, signaling Ling Hanyan to help.

“Oh, okay.” Ling Hanyan snapped out of the strange sensation and quickly helped take out the contract jade.

Tu Jiaojiao took the contract jade and, without looking at how the heart tip blood in their palms was merging, directly slipped the contract jade underneath her palm and gripped it together with the blood.

When the jade evolved from a cold, moist feel to a warm one, she was finally satisfied.

“Alright, Yanyan, you can let go now.”

Ling Hanyan hummed and looked at her palm.

She was surprised to find that there was not a trace of bloodstain or scratch both their heart tip bloods had been completely absorbed by the magical contract jade.

The originally milky white color of the jade now resembled cinnabar or chicken blood stone, having absorbed what looked like flowing blood.

“That drop of blood should become uniform after a while. My sister’s one is pinkish.” Tu Jiaojiao checked it and was very satisfied with the result.

“So, are we together now?” Ling Hanyan was a little confused. Since she had never dated before, she planned to follow the Moon Rabbit clan’s customs completely.

“My sister said that usually at this time, the rules we should follow will appear in our minds.” Those were the regulations her sister had stipulated when refining the contract jade.

But the two waited blankly for a while and felt no change.

There was no feeling of being inseparable, nor was there any celestial voice explaining the contract’s contents…

If it weren’t for the fact that the palm sized ‘Peace Amulet’ genuinely had heart tip blood permeating it, Tu Jiaojiao would have suspected a procedural error.

At this moment, the phone rang. It was the crew of the Dirty Cat show.

“Sister Yan, can the camera be turned on now? It’s been disconnected for too long that won’t look good.”

Ling Hanyan glanced at Tu Jiaojiao, feeling a bit reluctant, but still said, “Turn it on in five more minutes. My friend is about to leave.”

Tu Jiaojiao’s goal for going out today was originally just to sign the contract, but now they were together it was an over achievement!

Although she wanted to stay at her girlfriend’s house, she knew that all good things come to those who wait.

So she handed the contract jade to Ling Hanyan and earnestly instructed, “You have to carry this with you. It has my energy protecting you.”

“Mhm, okay.” Although she didn’t need the little rabbit’s protection, Ling Hanyan still accepted it with great care.

“If Little White needs to find me, just meow three times at Yanyan, and she’ll contact me.” This sentence was for the little cat.

“Meow meow meow, meow-ooh.” Okay, got it. Work hard to find my sister!

“Well… goodbye, Yanyan…” Having nothing more to say, Tu Jiaojiao stepped forward and opened her arms, getting the hug she wanted.

At this moment, Tu Jiaojiao felt that perhaps the contract was working look, Yanyan could even guess she wanted a hug.

In the past, she might have thought she was asking her to brush dust off. Congratulations!

Walking out of Ling Hanyan’s house, Tu Jiaojiao’s thoughts were a mess, but overall, she was exceptionally happy.

She was finally legit, officially in a relationship with Yanyan!

But as soon as she reached the first floor, she found she couldn’t take a step, and she felt incredibly, incredibly distressed, with the illusion that if she took that step, she wouldn’t survive.

Ling Hanyan was originally relaxed, holding the cat and toying with the contract jade in her hand, but her heart suddenly began to feel distressed too.

She involuntarily craved to be close to Tu Jiaojiao, even experiencing the illusion that if she were separated from her by more than a certain distance, she would break her limbs, lose her breath, and feel a part of her body and heart missing.

Fortunately, the doorbell rang a few minutes later.

Outside the door crouched a fluffy, soft eyed Angora rabbit.

This was Jiaojiao, who wanted to come back to Yanyan but remembered the camera was on again and decided it was better to be in her rabbit form.

When Ling Hanyan saw this precious rabbit, she didn’t hesitate, immediately scooping up both her and her clothes.

Only after regaining her composure did she realize that luckily the entryway was a blind spot for the camera; otherwise, the Dirty Cat crew would definitely question why she fished a rabbit and a few pieces of women’s clothing from outside the door…

“Gugugu (coo coo coo).” Tu Jiaojiao saw the camera’s red light was on and didn’t dare to speak, so she complained a few times in ‘rabbit language.’

To her surprise, Ling Hanyan actually understood. She kneaded Tu Jiaojiao with a dangerous look in her eyes. “Good bunnies shouldn’t say naughty words, okay?”

“Gugu?”

“That’s right. I can understand your rabbit language now.”

The two faced off again and realized that they truly couldn’t be separated by too great a distance otherwise, both would feel extremely distressed.

Ling Hanyan regretted taking on the Dirty Cat variety show for the first time. Her living room had now become a paradise for Little White and the camera, making it impossible for her to “keep her beauty hidden.”

But it was fortunate that Tu Jiaojiao could transform into a rabbit the crew couldn’t stop her from keeping a rabbit.

Ling Hanyan immediately called the crew. “My friend had to go on a rushed business trip and is leaving her rabbit with me for a while. Should I put the rabbit in the bedroom so she doesn’t appear on camera?”

“It’s fine. Do you see if the rabbit gets along with Little White?” Director Ning Yu asked with interest.

Ling Hanyan squinted, looking at Little White, who was chasing Jiaojiao, sniffing and meowing, as if confused about why she was human a moment ago and was now a little rabbit.

“You can check the camera, they seem to get along well.”

Ning Yu checked and said in a cheerful tone, “Then let her appear on camera. Other guests have pets too. But everyone else has a cat, I didn’t expect you to have a rabbit. She’s very brave, not even afraid of the cat.”

“Mhm, contact me if anything comes up.” Ling Hanyan hung up the phone, walked over, picked up Tu Jiaojiao in one arm and Little White in the other, separating them.

On the surface, it looked like she was afraid they might fight, but in reality, she was rescuing Jiaojiao, who couldn’t get away from the clinging cat an utterly justified show of favoritism.

In the evening, she used the pretense of being afraid something would happen and led Jiaojiao into the bedroom right under everyone’s noses. Thinking of Jiaojiao transforming back into human form, she would be naked, and Ling Hanyan’s thoughts even began to wander.

Finally able to transform back into a human, the first thing Jiaojiao did upon landing was not to cuddle with Yanyan, but to quickly call her sister and report the good news that she had signed the contract with Yanyan.
