Lop-Eared Guard – 28

24th Aug 2022

In the early hours of the morning, the empty villa was silent and none of the lights were turned on. The living room was so pitch-dark that an outstretched hand couldn’t even be seen. 

The rain outside pounded on the glass, and suddenly a flash of lightning split through the night sky. Through the French windows, the whole living room illuminated as if it were day.

Yan Yi was huddled in the corner of the sofa as he held an eiderdown quilt. His rabbit ears were covered over his head, and the tip of his nose was quivering.

The line had tripped, but Yan Yi didn’t dare to repair it. 

Holding the eiderdown quilt tightly, he looked forward to dawn. He would repair the electric switch as soon as the sky turned light. 

Suddenly, he heard rustling at the door. Lu Shangjin threw the umbrella in his hand away  and impatiently tore off his soaked coat, tossing it at the table, “Why don’t you turn on the lights?”

He couldn’t see anything in the dark, so he turned on the flashlight of his phone 

Yan Yi ran over barefoot with the eiderdown quilt in his arms, opening his eyes wide and clear to look at him as though he had seen his saviour. 

He answered in a whisper, “The thunderstorm is too strong, it tripped.”  

“Oh, get someone to fix it tomorrow. Forget it, I’m not working tomorrow, I’ll fix it.” Lu Shangjin went into the bathroom to change out of his soaked shirt. Yan Yi followed him, holding the eiderdown quilt and standing barefoot outside the door to wait for him.

After enduring for a long time, he finally put down the eiderdown quilt and walked into the bathroom. He hugged Lu Shangjin from behind and gently encircled his arms around his waist, pressing close to him, his body slightly trembling. 

Lu Shangjin paused what he was doing. He wiped his hands dry and turned back to hug him, patting his back and caressed him gently. 

The little rabbit liked it a lot, so he stuffed his whole body into Lu Shangjin’s arms. 

“Do you have the need for touch1, Yan Yan?” Lu Shangjin patted him gently, “You’re already nineteen years old, not a baby bunny anymore.” 

Burying his head and fluffy little rabbit ears in Lu Shangjin’s arms, Yan Yi shuddered, “I do have the need for touch, yes. I’m a baby bunny.” 

“Okay, baby.” Lu Shangjin lowered his head to kiss the tip of his nose in the pitch-dark bathroom, then carried him to the bath, “Wash up and go to bed.”

There was a spare power supply in the bath, and a dim little wall light was turned on. 

To avoid the water, Yan Yi wore a transparent bathing cap to cover his rabbit ears. He sat in the square bathtub with his back leaning in Lu Shangjin’s arms, and looked up to complain, “You have to come back early when there’s a thunderstorm.”

“Alright.” Lu Shangjin soaked a piece of sea salt bath bar, the palm of his hand gently stroked Yan Yi’s smooth skin and occasionally passed over several gunshot scars. 

Lu Shangjin turned around and pressed Yan Yi onto the edge of the bathtub. Holding his beck from behind, he kissed Yan Yi with his head turned to the side, “Do you want to do it here? You’ll feel uncomfortable.” 

“It’s okay, I miss you.” Yan Yi shook his little tail invitingly at Lu Shangjin. 

After lingering in the bathroom for more than two hours, Lu Shangjin carried the little rabbit, who had been blown dried, back to the bedroom.
