A black BMW drove into the suburbs of Chang Hui city on a gravel road, before entering an aristocratic residence that was developed a few years ago. The snow-white fence enclosed a garden of tulips, surrounding the Lu family mansion in the center. 

The passive style of the establishment had ultra-low energy consumption, assembled with an integral high-performance exterior wall to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. 

Yan Yi hugged his knees anxiously as he nestled in the passenger seat, his weak body crowded into a corner. As the pine forest appeared before his eyes, he could only see a layer of dust covering the pine cones, and thin, tiny spider webs decorated the European style white fence. A falling pine needle accidentally dropped on the opposite windshield as the car passed by. 

In this serene world, all disharmony was infinitely magnified in Yan Yi’s eyes. He breathed anxiously as he remained holding onto his left hand, feeling a dull pain. The closer they approached the residence, the more he felt the sense of choking suppression growing intensely in his chest. 

Lu Shangjin didn’t notice Yan Yi’s abnormal reactions, nor did he often pay attention to Yan Yi. 

Yan Yi carefully took out a small handful of Timothy hay from his pocket, eating them little by little. There was only one pocket left, he had to save it. 

The light scent lingering on the hay barely allowed him to stay calm. 

Lu Shangjin just glanced to the right, “What are you eating?”

Yan Yi was taken aback and answered truthfully, “Timothy hay. A kind of rabbit… snack.” He thought in fear about how he would answer Lu Shangjin’s question. 

Lu Shangjin raised his eyebrows, “You like eating this?”

Yan Yi nodded, “It’s okay.”

The car stopped outside the house, and a large, golden-brown thing rushed towards them; the golden long-haired Tibetan Mastiff tied up in the small garden pounced out, its barks shaking the ground. Yan Yi’s entire body froze in fear and he subconsciously grabbed Lu Shangjin’s hand. 

He was feeling anxious, and even easily frightened. His third-grade differentiated glands that could protect himself were already completely dormant. At the moment, he could barely be compared to an ordinary little lop-eared rabbit omega.

Lu Shangjin shook Yan Yi’s hand off and frowned, “It won’t bite you.”

Lu Shangjin led him to the door and laughed without a care, “Did you learn how to pretend to be pitiful from Yuan Mi? When you were my bodyguard in the past, you were never so timid.” 

“…” Yan Yi bit his lips and unexpectedly retorted, “In the past, my glands weren’t dormant. If you don’t like that I’m weak, you shouldn’t change them.” 

After blurting out his refute, Yan Yi instantly repented and looked away in remorse. He was unable to hold his tongue from being in an uncontrollable state of anxiety and irritability. He had never forgotten his manners like this before, as though he was an egg paste filled and baked in a tin foil tray, the air expanding so much that he felt pain all over.

Lu Shangjin looked at him in slight surprise. He took Yan Yi’s hand in front of him and placed it on his lips, saying patiently, “Be good. Once we have a 97% fit, we’ll never be separated in the future. I will take care of you and protect you. Don’t mention this to my father, understand?”
