Chapter 56 - Don’t Want the Wabbit (1/2)

Adrian “…”

Was it ugly? Doesn’t it look quite good though? It must be because the effects of the anesthesia was too strong that Zhong Yan’s mind was muddled. He’ll ask again when Zhong Yan was more sober.

Adrian, who firmly refused to admit that there was anything wrong with his aesthetics, naturally pushed all the blame to the muddle-headed Zhong Yan, whose mind was currently in a mess. Since they couldn’t talk about proper business anyway, he sat by the bed and continued to tease Zhong Yan. “Do you like me?”

All the calm in Zhong Yan’s beautiful phoenix eyes disappeared at that moment, and only a look of pure ignorance was left. Without any hesitation, he said, “I do.”

Flowers were practically blooming in Adrian’s heart. He secretly turned on the recording function on his terminal and urged him, “Say it again.”

Even though his brain was now a paste, he still had a restrained nature. Zhong Yan hesitated, but this was a request made by Adrian. He always satisfied Adrian’s requests, whether it be big or small, so he still said in a whisper, “I like you.”

“I like you too,” Adrian told him. Then, he leaned over to place a kiss on his lips.

Zhong Yan looked dazedly at him, and a faint red blush emerged on his cheeks. He grabbed his blanket with his hands and wanted to bury his face in them.

Adrian was afraid that he would agitate his wound if he moved and make it hurt even more once the anesthesia wore off, so he quickly got on the bed and held him over the blanket, not allowing him to move.

“What are you shy about?” He teased, “Didn’t you test the goods before we married? What’s with you getting all bashful now?”

Zhong Yan couldn’t understand his sordid words and softly asked, “What?”

He was so cute that it made Adrian giddy, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty. It felt like he was talking about dirty stuff with a pure little child. He quickly cleared his throat and changed the topic. “Cough cough, it’s nothing…Right, do you want to see the rabbit? I told Intron to bring the small one over. I’ll bring it over for you to play with, okay?”

Zhong Yan subconsciously reached out to grab the hem of his clothes. “Don’t go.”

“I won’t go.” Adrian carefully brushed away the messy hair on his forehead. “I’ll go and bring you the rabbit.”

“I want you, not wabbit…” Zhong Yan said. Then, he realized that he wasn’t pronouncing it quite right, and tried to correct himself in confusion. “Wabbit. Wa…bit…”

The anesthesia affected his ability to control his tongue. After failing to make the correct sound after several tries, Adrian tried his best to endure, but he still couldn’t resist holding the person in his arms tight as a deep laugh vibrated from his throat. “Alright baby, I’m not going anywhere so you can stop, okay? Good boy.”

Feeling as if he was wronged, Zhong Yan stopped. Finally, he expressed his thoughts resolutely. “I want you. I don’t want you to turn into a wa…bit…”

“I’m not turning into a rabbit.” Adrian couldn’t stop himself from laughing. “We have to rabbits at home, do you remember? We have a giant space rabbit with lop ears, a white one.”

Zhong Yan shriveled into Adrian’s warm embrace and started to feel a little sleepy. When he heard that, he was barely able to manage waking up a bit. “Giant space wabbit…is there one here?”

“There is. Do you want to see it?” Adrian asked. If Zhong Yan really wanted to see it, then it would be quite troublesome. Wei Lan had already warned him, so he wouldn’t dare to move Zhong Yan too much. The rabbit was too big and it couldn’t get into the house. What if…he installed a camera in the back yard?

While he was thinking of a viable method, Zhong Yan suddenly asked after some thought, “So is this place…controlled by my thoughts?”

Right, he’s still stuck in the setting of “being in heaven” and was even trying to figure out the mechanisms of it. Adrian didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. Before he could say anything, Zhong Yan said with great enthusiasm, “When can I have a bigger one? I had one once. But it’s too small, less than 26 feet.”

Adrian “…”

He raised his hand to tap Zhong Yan’s nose. “You ungrateful little thing. Do you know how much effort it took for me to buy that rabbit? The research institute is two star systems away from here. I had to drive the whole day to get there and back just so I could bring you a New Year’s present, and you’re complaining that it’s small? Do you know how expensive lop-eared giant space rabbits are? I’m all broke now, that thing’s already the most valuable thing I own in my assets.”

Zhong Yan was beginning to struggle with opening his eyes. Adrian lightly patted his back to lull him to sleep while speaking softly at his ear. “However, even though I’m almost broke after just getting married, it’s too late for you to regret now. The divorce penalty will be much higher than the refusal fee. As the saying goes, marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog…”

“Mm.” Sleepily, Zhong Yan could only muster a hum, but it wasn’t known whether he was agreeing or not. Slowly, under the soothing male voice and the gentle patting, he fell asleep.

……

When Zhong Yan woke up once more, he was woken up by the pain.

Wave after wave of pain came from his abdomen. He thought he was still in that murder filled mansion house and softly called out, “Ade…”
