The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 36

And so, in every dark and sweet night, they slowly and gradually adapted to and grew accustomed to each other.

During the day, one was the glamorous owner, and the other was the beloved rabbit. At night, they became two closely embracing prawns, inseparable even unto death nothing but snuggling.

It was to the extent that even in their sleep, they couldn’t help but search for the other!

Tu Jiaojiao and Ling Hanyan were immersed in their honeymoon phase. They could be affectionate right under people’s noses during the day without being discovered, and at night, they indulged in each other’s embrace freely.

It was both thrilling and secretly sweet.

But in the eyes of Assistant Xiao Liang, it looked like Sister Yan, heartbroken after losing her only friend, had changed her ways and transferred her affection to her pet rabbit!

She didn’t know where Sister Yan got this rabbit, but its personality and appearance subtly resembled Tu Jiaojiao…

And she followed Sister Yan every day, constantly catching her talking to the rabbit! With proper tone and gesture, as if the rabbit could understand her!

The rabbit was also strange, eerily smart.

Oh, heavens! What would her several million fans think if they knew their idol was now treating a rabbit as a psychological crutch?!

Fortunately, this hair raising situation didn’t last too long. The variety show Didn’t Bring Money Out Today was about to begin filming.

The first episode was scheduled to be filmed in Sanya. Because it was a sister show to Dirty Cats, Ling Hanyan was allowed to bring Xiaobai and Tu Jiaojiao.

Xiao Liang arrived at Ling Hanyan’s house the day before to pack the things she needed for the variety show shoot out of town.

Seeing that Sister Yan was not nearby, she couldn’t help but walk over to Sister Yan’s beloved pet, Little Moon Tooth, clasping her hands and praying devoutly, “Little Moon Tooth, I’m Xiao Liang. Sister Yan is taking you and Xiaobai to the show this time. The show doesn’t allow assistants, so I’ll be leaving after dropping you off.

Please take care of Sister Yan for me then. She cherishes you the most now.

Also… I don’t know if you know Tu Jiaojiao, but if you do, remember to tell her to call Sister Yan when she has time! Don’t let Sister Yan be alone again. I think you must know Jiaojiao, after all, you both have the surname ‘Tu,’ and you’re both so cute and so white…”

Tu Jiaojiao listened intently to the first few sentences, watching her with round, dark eyes.

She quite liked the girl Xiao Liang, she hadn’t realized she was the type to constantly chatter to small animals.

She didn’t realize how increasingly absurd the conversation became…

She almost thought Xiao Liang knew she was a little rabbit demon!

But then again, who knows what Xiao Liang had conjured up in her mind. Can your rabbit pass messages to others over its owner?

Tu Jiaojiao grew impatient, shaking her body to fluff up her long fur, trying to make herself look larger and more imposing, and then turning her back, giving Xiao Liang her tail.

Little did she know that even if she were a size larger, she wouldn’t look very authoritative, only exhibiting a kind of cute bluster.

Xiao Liang hadn’t finished speaking yet. She reached her hand under the rabbit’s armpit, intending to turn her back around to continue listening to her talk.

“What are you doing?” Her small action was spotted by Ling Hanyan. Her gaze sharpened, and her tone carried a hint of threat, “Put Little Moon Tooth down.”

Xiao Liang flinched in fright. She quickly moved Tu Jiaojiao to the side and, with a weak smile, tried to cover up, “Little Moon Tooth jumped over to chew on your clothes just now. I was moving her to the other side.”

“Goo-goo!” Tu Jiaojiao immediately exposed her lie, though she merely meant: Xiao Liang was just chatting with me.

Knowing that Tu Jiaojiao’s attitude was not to pursue the matter, Ling Hanyan let it go, only offering a faint defense: “Little Moon Tooth doesn’t chew things randomly.”

Her Jiaojiao was so well-behaved she wouldn’t allow anyone to slander her.

Hearing the commotion, Xiaobai also trotted over, wearing its camera.

It first circled Ling Hanyan once to greet her, because this was its dearest owner and must always come first.

Then it lay down next to Tu Jiaojiao, stretching out in a long luxurious stretch. This was its best friend, the friend who could turn from human to rabbit, who deserved close companionship.

Finally, Xiaobai’s gaze landed on the unfamiliar yet familiar Xiao Liang, its eyes swiveling.

Tu Jiaojiao heard its internal thought: “Did she bring any news of my sister? Doesn’t look like it…”

Softening inside, Tu Jiaojiao tilted her rabbit head and nudged Xiaobai, even graciously extending her pink little tongue to lick its fur. This cat enjoyed this kind of interaction.

After Xiao Liang left, Tu Jiaojiao told it, “Xiaobai, your sister will be back in about two months. She’s being looked after by someone else right now.” Two months was roughly when the first episode of Dirty Cats would finish filming, and their sisters were sure to reunite.

The staff monitoring the large screen at the Dirty Cats production office clutched their chests again, “Ahhh!! Look, Ling Hanyan’s little rabbit is snuggling with the cat again! She’s so close to the camera; you can see every single strand of her fur!”

“Note it down, note it down, we’ll edit it into the main show.” A smile played on Ning Yu’s lips. She replayed the scene a few times, also feeling that this rabbit was adding icing to the cake for the show.

All thanks to this little rabbit that loved interacting with the cat, they had unlocked many new filming angles!

When the show aired, besides attracting cat lovers, it would also attract rabbit lovers!

Meanwhile, a few people specializing in feeding cats quietly arrived at the Metasequoia Park.

Unlike kind hearted people in society who feed the cats and then pet them for a while before leaving, these people appeared at fixed times and locations during this period.

Moreover, they concealed cameras and audio equipment on their shoulders and in their bags, and they never interacted with the cats, afraid of disturbing their free spirited lives.

But when the cats proactively interacted with them, they would happily reach out and scratch the cats under their chins.

This was the decision Ning Yu made after a meeting.

It was to fundamentally solve the feeding problem for the stray comparison group cats and to focus the cameras more on the lives of the stray cats themselves.

“Dabai’s personality is more lively than Xiaobai’s. It’s very serious about eating every time, sometimes even eating more than the big orange cat.”

The cameraman observed the cats through the lens while communicating with his colleague.

Since the cat at Ling Hanyan’s house was called Xiaobai (Little White), they named this free-living white cat Dabai (Big White), unaware that this one was actually the younger sister.

“Yes, sometimes I feel lucky that the softer tempered one was sent to Ling Hanyan, otherwise Xiaobai wouldn’t be able to get by as well in the wild as Dabai.”

The cat called Dabai heard their voices, walked over with a cat like stride, and rubbed against each of them with its tail held high.

It meowed a couple of times, full of energy.

“Dabai is so cute, hasn’t it eaten enough?” The staff member opened the cat food bag again and poured some into the porcelain bowl designed to prevent tipping.

However, Dabai let out a disappointed “ooh-ooh” sound, ignored the bowl, and darted away like a flash of lightning.

The staff were left baffled.

If Tu Jiaojiao were here, she would know that Dabai was asking them: “Kind humans, have you seen my sister? I smell her on you.”

Failing to get the answer it wanted, it sheepishly ran off, continuing its search for its sister’s scent in the concrete jungle.

Dabai was both lively and a good eater, all supported by the conviction that only by eating diligently and being full could it gather the energy to find its sister.

After the filming subject ran off, the crew kept their equipment set up but didn’t leave.

Since deciding to feed the cats regularly, their documentation scope had expanded from the three comparison group cats to the stray cat communities in three different locations.

However, the protagonists of the stray cat communities remained Dabai in Metasequoia Park, Daju (Big Orange) at Longming University, and Huahua (Floral) in Xingfu Residential Area.

The airplane soared smoothly through the sky, cutting through layers of clouds, leaving a trail in the deep blue expanse.

Normally, when traveling, Ling Hanyan would close her eyes and seize the time to rest.

When she was young and not famous, she had to work hard to make a living and couldn’t afford to be picky. She would bite the bullet and take on any distant place or rushed schedule, often flying in economy class with Xiao Liang.

Later, as she gained some fame and savings, she could afford to upgrade her seat.

However, she had grown accustomed to catching up on sleep on the plane, as this was when she wouldn’t fall into terrifying, nightmarish dreams, allowing her to get a good night’s rest.

Now she was sitting in a spacious first class cabin and had even purchased tickets for her two small animals.

On her left was Xiaobai, who was a little afraid but had been soothed by Tu Jiaojiao before departure, taking comfort in the situation and eating a freeze-dried quail she fed it. On her right was her well-behaved Jiaojiao.

To accommodate other passengers, both small animals were in their carriers.

For Xiaobai, in an unfamiliar environment, the confined space offered a sense of security.

Aside from being nervously tense during takeoff and landing, with its ears pinned back, at other times, it was either chewing on the freeze dried quail Ling Hanyan fed it or closing its eyes to feign sleep.

As long as it wasn’t meowing, Ling Hanyan wasn’t worried. What took up her entire attention was Jiaojiao on her right side. Jiaojiao was too quiet, and its condition seemed strange.

Jiaojiao’s memory contained many fragments of traveling by plane in human form. At that time, she sat proudly in her seat.

There were bright lights and comfortable air conditioning overhead. Once her seatbelt was fastened, she paid no mind to anyone else. It was just like traveling by car or ship, nothing to worry about.

But now, flying as a rabbit, she felt an indescribable discomfort. She only felt her heart beating irregularly, and her breathing was also a little difficult.

After Tu Jiaojiao took human form in her previous life, she no longer lived as a burrow dwelling rabbit.

In the beginning, before she built a house, she slept with a gray angora rabbit as her blanket and the ground as her bed. She even self-taught the skill of climbing trees.

Later, when she built a small villa, she stayed home every day, venturing out once every half month to the farmers’ market to sell some mountain delicacies and then using the money earned to purchase supplies.

It could be said that she hadn’t been in such a confined environment for several hundred years.

If the air carrier hadn’t had some barely sufficient holes to peek out of, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

“Goo-goo-goo…” Yanyan, I’m a little uncomfortable… My heart is pounding, and I feel like I can’t breathe…

Thinking it was the rabbit form not adjusting to the increasing speed of the plane, Tu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and endured until they reached the cruising altitude.

Yet, when the plane began its stable flight, her symptoms still hadn’t subsided, so she had no choice but to appeal softly to the person beside her.

Ling Hanyan had been watching Tu Jiaojiao since they boarded, but when she hadn’t spoken for a while, she assumed the little rabbit wanted to sleep.

The first thing she heard, however, was spoken in such a weak voice.

“I’ll take you out; you might be having a claustrophobic episode.” Ling Hanyan dropped her gaze, her heart aching, and whispered to the cage, concluding her answer.

She immediately regretted not letting Tu Jiaojiao board the plane in human form.

She completely forgot that this was done so that the little rabbit could be officially recognized by the program crew, making it easier for her to transform into human form later in the night.

They had thoroughly discussed it before departure and believed this was the optimal solution.

“Goo?” Is that allowed?

“I’ll hold you tight,” Ling Hanyan whispered, then opened the cage and gently took out Tu Jiaojiao, whose body was soft as a noodle.

“Sister Yan, the flight attendant just said that if you take the small animal out, the owner cannot rest and must constantly monitor its condition.”

Xiao Liang knew that for Ling Hanyan, sleeping on the plane was a rare chance for a good rest, so she offered a reminder.

“We’ll start filming as soon as we land, so you need to rest. Why don’t I hold her?”

The flight was three hours long; just sitting there was tiring, let alone constantly monitoring the little rabbit in her arms.

“No need.” Facing the extended hands, Ling Hanyan turned away, refusing her kind offer.

When her Little Moon Tooth transforms into rabbit form, she tends to forget some reserved human traits.

She absolutely didn’t want to take a short nap and wake up to see Jiaojiao sleeping sweetly in someone else’s arms!

The nightly intimate snuggling to get used to each other had given Ling Hanyan the knowledge of how fragrant her little rabbit was, along with an infinitely growing possessiveness in her heart.

She gave up her sleep, and her protective care for Tu Jiaojiao continued until they disembarked.
