Human, You Have to Take Responsibility for the Rabbit!

A sincere, mild-mannered, sweet lop-eared rabbit shou x a seemingly gentle, inwardly gloomy college-age gong with maximum possessiveness

Lin An'an was the most honest, hardworking lop-eared rabbit in the mountains.

He'd diligently saved up ten years' worth of spiritual energy just to redeem a "one-day human form pass" and see what the city was like. But the city streets were too complicated, and Lin An'an got lost.

Then a handsome man with a gloomy gaze found him and took him home.

The man wiped his face, fed him cake, and gently stroked his hair. Lin An'an thought, City people are so nice.

Late that night, the man held him in the soft embrace of the sofa. His breath brushed Lin An'an's ear as he asked hoarsely, "Is this okay?"

Lin An'an blinked. Was the city man asking if it was okay to stay over? Remembering the elder's advice to be polite, he obediently nodded.

Only later did he learn that some things weren't to be agreed to so casually. It hurt a little, but the man kept soothing him gently, wiping away his tears and saying, "Don't be scared."

Before dawn, Lin An'an ran out of spiritual energy. In a panic, he turned back into a rabbit and slipped out through a crack in the door.

A month later, he stared blankly at his obviously rounded belly. The elder's whiskers bristled with rage. "Our rabbit family has always been respectable! Find whoever did this and make him take responsibility!"

Lin An'an cried for three days, soaking a large patch of fur on his chest with tears. But he was a responsible rabbit. In the end, he set out with a baby in his belly and a little bundle on his back, looking back every few steps as he left the rabbit warren.

Yu Chen had a secret: the young man he'd found that night had a pair of eyes he couldn't forget.

They'd been wet and clear as a mountain spring, full of trust whenever they looked at him. But by morning, the young man was gone, like a dream too vivid to be real.

He searched like a madman.

Before he could find him, a stubborn ball of snow-white fluff appeared at his doorstep.

The rabbit was very polite. It didn't make a sound, simply crouched there, gazing at the door with its red eyes. When a kind neighbor offered it a carrot, it cautiously nibbled a little, then went back to watching the door.

Yu Chen shooed it away several times, but every time, the rabbit would curl up pitifully in a corner, making itself into a tiny white ball. Once he closed the door, it would quietly move back.

Yu Chen gave in and carried the rabbit inside.

The little thing was a handful. It wouldn't eat rabbit food and insisted on crisp, juicy vegetable leaves. It refused to sleep in a cage and preferred lounging on his sofa. It had to have freshly squeezed carrot juice, and if it sensed anything was off, it would push the glass toward him with its paw and give him a disapproving look.

Yu Chen felt less like he'd adopted a pet and more like he was serving a rabbit emperor.

But strangely, whenever he held that warm ball of fluff, something in his long-frozen heart seemed to thaw a little.

Then, one morning, something grew heavy in his arms.

A flash of white light faded, revealing a young man curled against his chest, with fair skin and soft brown hair. The two lop ears on his head hadn't quite disappeared. It was the very person he'd searched the entire city for.

The young man woke groggily. When he saw Yu Chen, he froze, then covered his lower belly and tried to look stern, though his voice trembled with softness.

"Human! You-you have to take responsibility for the rabbit!"

Yu Chen: "???"
