I Have a Rabbit Island

A quick ad break: Open Up! Your Ex-Girlfriend Is Here to Cheer You Up!

[Was that love? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was a sword stabbing me.] The blurb is at the end!

Lively science-minded fluff enthusiast x quiet, expressionless lop-eared rabbit girl

Chen Yu had carefully planned her graduation trip, but the apocalypse broke out as soon as she set off. Chen Yu, the unluckiest person alive, lived up to expectations by being the second one thrown overboard.

When she opened her eyes again, she had washed ashore on a deserted island that seemed like a paradise. Well... it wasn't entirely devoid of "people."

After the 108th time staring at the extra white puff of fur on her savior's butt and getting caught in the act, Chen Yu said, "Help, how do I explain I'm not a pervert? It's so fluffy!"

After she recovered, Chen Yu walked out of her room and was elected representative of the rabbit people by a crowd of three-head-tall cartoon rabbits, because she was the only one tall enough to reach the self-service terminal at the island's central service center.

Chen Yu: "Huh? Doesn't my savior have a human form too?"

Moon Rabbit: Staring at the moon from a cliff. Do not disturb.

Chen Yu: Farming! Developing the island! At last, after the apocalypse, I have my own house on a deserted island paradise!

Moon Rabbit: You're my human. Why don't you sleep with me? (￣ー￣)

Chen Yu: Keep it up! Work hard! I'll outwork all you shorties! One day, I'll bring Moon Rabbit home as my wife!

Moon Rabbit: Having dinner at Yu Yu's place. Humans with no sense of boundaries might not be so bad. (After eating, goes back to stare blankly from the cliff.jpg)

Other rabbits: Should we tell Yu Yu that Moon Rabbit is the island's owner? She's been working so hard lately!

P.S. 1. Zombie-and-disaster apocalypse. The protagonist is not a saint!

2. The golden finger System doesn't belong to the protagonist, it belongs to the island.

3. Rabbits are rabbits. Except for Moon Rabbit, none of them turn into humans. Think of the rabbits from That Rabbit or the animal villagers in Animal Crossing.

P.P.S. This idea came from getting hooked on building an Animal Crossing island. The story has nothing to do with Animal Crossing. It's a post-apocalyptic survival story with construction and cute pets: the protagonist handles construction and cute pets, while all the other humans handle surviving the apocalypse. (You!)

Lin Lie was dragged into that bar by a friend. The first person she noticed was the blonde bartender behind the counter. Four chains pierced her left ear. She was looking down as she washed her hands, and Lin Lie watched them for a long time.

Her friend kept nudging her with an elbow. "Well? I told you! I guarantee she's your type."

Lin Lie turned away, thinking she was just some biker chick.

Half an hour later, Lin Lie sat down in front of the "biker chick."

"Today's special is trading old things for drinks," the bartender said. Her eyes were unusually light in color. Under the dim lights, it was impossible to tell if they were naturally that way.

Lin Lie tossed her purse aside and propped her chin on one hand, looking languid. Her freshly done crystal extensions scraped across the counter. "Old things? Am I not a thing?"

The bartender paused while wiping her fingers, then turned around and lined up a row of tequila shots for her.

"Warm-up, then, ma'am."

The bar was called Half-Truths. Gan Ting stayed on as a bartender because of its name.

She felt it was somehow connected to her.

Even more so because of strange customers like Lin Lie.

She attended every one of the bar's events, but rarely drank. On the last day of each month, she would sit at Gan Ting's counter for an entire afternoon. After a night of passion, she would bury her head and kiss the tattoo on Gan Ting's wrist.

Then one day, she would suddenly turn cold. When someone asked, she would say contemptuously, "Break up? With who? It was just for fun."

III

Lin Lie knew she was the second daughter of the wealthiest family in the country. Neither the eldest nor the legitimate heir, she was expected to do everything to make a political marriage more advantageous.

But one day, everyone in the capital's business circles learned that she was looking for someone, even if it meant turning against her family.

Years later, she bought Half-Truths, waited by the familiar counter, and kept watch for someone who would never appear.

Until Gan Ting, with a different hair color, showed up again. She had colored in the tattoo on her wrist, and looked even colder than before.

"Hello, ex-girlfriend. Need a bartender?"

When a friend caught them kissing passionately again, she exclaimed, "You two got back together?"

Gan Ting smiled. "Back together? What do you mean, back together? Were we ever together?"
