Good pregnancy in the animal world: the soft and tender rabbit is spoiled by the big guys

Chapter 109: Rabbit’s cub.

Yu Zhizhi's hand holding the phone suddenly trembled. She widened her eyes and looked at the small white phone in disbelief.

The Duke?!

Or was she just too tired from playing today and had an illusion?

Yu Zhizhi held the phone for a long time without saying anything. The water on her hair dripped into her neck. She belatedly realized and wiped it with a towel.

The Duke spent the entire day in the pool after making that phone call.

A rare rainstorm occurred in the imperial city of Valoran.

In the evening, the rain gradually stopped.

He leaned against the pool and took a nap, his snake tail sunk to the bottom, and the fingertips supporting his forehead turned slightly white.

After a heavy rain, all the bamboo leaves in the yard were washed clean.

But the Duke's chest always felt heavy, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on it.

into the night.

The crescent moon is half hidden.

The microphone on the Duke's ear suddenly lit up.

He slowly opened his golden eyes and saw a series of white characters floating in the air.

——It’s actually a small female.

She called back.

The Duke stared at it, his finger lightly touching the microphone.

Soon, the voice he had been longing for came from the other end.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Who is he looking for?
The Duke had long lashes and he held the microphone with one hand. Amid the curling hot mist, the snake tail at the bottom of the pool swam slowly.

It was originally dead silent.

Now it's like coming alive.

He couldn't help but chuckle, a laugh that was filled with a hint of pleasure, yet also mixed with an undisguised self-mockery.

Happy because of this phone call.

I feel ridiculous because of this happiness.

This is just a disobedient little pet. How can you easily affect his emotions?
"Hello, I'm looking for a little rabbit that ran away from home. Is she here?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the microphone.

Even though I couldn't see the little female, I knew that she should have her eyes wide open and look at a loss.

The Duke waited patiently.

The moment Yu Zhizhi heard the man's voice, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. After so long, she still remembered his voice, lazy, hoarse, with a faint smile and a hint of indifference.

In the wooden house late at night, the fireplace burns quietly.

The dim firelight only illuminated the front half of the sofa.

Yu Zhizhi curled up her legs and the towel on her head slowly slipped off. Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly, just like her mood at the moment.

The stone clock on the wall is ticking.

"How could you...?"

How did the Duke have her contact number in Paradise?

"Did you have fun outside during this time?"

On the other end of the line, the Duke's deep, magnetic voice was clearer because it was coming through a microphone.

Like, it was right next to her ear.

Yu Zhizhi hugged her legs and whispered, "Not bad."

After a pause, she added, "Today is quite fun. We went to build a snowman. Yusen was very good at it. The carrot nose he carved for the snowman was particularly beautiful."

"We also went to a small restaurant to eat the park's specialties—"

"I drank a little bit of the mixed wine, it was lychee-flavored and very sweet."

The Duke listened to the sweet and cheerful voice of the little female, and an uncontrollable tingling sensation spread through his heart, mixed with a hint of bitterness and unwillingness.

From the silent phone call during the day until now, he was sitting in the pool, caught in a heavy rain.

The rainstorm poured from his body into his heart. His golden vertical pupils slowly closed. The pool was filled with mist. His wet dark blue hair fell on his shoulders, and a drop of water flowed along his jawline into the pool.

He sat alone.

He sank.

He struggled and he was angry.

His mood was like a roller coaster, turning eighteen bends. But the little female didn't have any tangled emotions. She happily shared the happiness of the day. How simple and open.

As Yu Zhizhi was talking, she noticed silence on the other end of the communicator, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency the Duke, are you listening?"

"……Um."

The word "man" seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.

Yu Zhizhi wiped the rabbit ears with a towel. Her hair was half dry now. She raised a smile: "The mermaid likes to eat apples. He drank several cups of apple wine--"

"All right," the Duke interrupted her chatter, "no more talk of mermaids."

Know that she bought a fish.

The baby is like nothing, always circling around the mermaid.

"Oh..." Yu Zhizhi could probably tell that the Duke's voice sounded a little unhappy. Although they were at a long distance apart, she still felt frightened instinctively.

"I watched the live broadcast today." Yu Zhizhi lay sideways on the sofa, resting her head on a fluffy pillow. "One of the cubs is weaker, you...you have to treat them equally."

Can't be harsh.

The Duke knew what the little female meant, and he had already given orders to raise all six snake cubs together.

but--

"The other five snake elders have all been given names, and this one is the only one left without a name."

"why?"

"In the snake tribe, male cubs that fail to meet the initial grading standards will be abandoned."

“Then, then it——” Yu Zhizhi immediately sat up and said in panic: “The cub is still so young, we can’t lose it!”

"It's not lost." The Duke said calmly.

He asked his servants to pass on the order that this snake cub, which was born weak, would not be expelled from the snake territory.

No matter what, it is a rabbit's baby after all.

It was born by a rabbit.

It was Tutu who gave birth to him...

Thinking of this, it was difficult for him to treat this little cub using the cruel rules of the snake clan.

Yu Zhizhi heard the sound of a lighter.

The Duke should have lit his pipe at this moment.

"Let's give it a name." The Duke took a puff of his cigarette and leaned against the pool. Soon the smoke blocked his vision.

The crescent moon on the horizon avoided the dark clouds and rippled gently on the pool water.

He was discussing with the little female the name of their cub.

At this moment, the Duke felt extremely happy, and the snake's tail in the water swayed slowly.

Yu Zhizhi was stunned.

Give that snow-white little snake a name?

She thought for a moment and said softly, "Yu Meng."

--feather?

The Duke's hand holding the slender pipe stiffened slightly, and his golden vertical pupils slowly narrowed: "You gave birth to a snake, not an eagle."

Yu Zhizhi held the phone and said briskly:
"I know. You may not have seen it since you didn't go to the hatching ceremony today. Amon is completely white, just like a pure and flawless feather."

What a bad name.

Also feathers.

As expected, deep down in the little female's heart, she was still most concerned about the dead eagle.

The Duke clenched his teeth slightly: "No."

"In fact, there is another meaning." Yu Zhizhi said softly: "In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Yu Meng is a spirit beast with wings but can never fly. However, no matter how many times it fails, it never gives up."

"Besides, Yu Meng actually doesn't know that he doesn't need to rush to fly. Because one day, when the wind comes, he will be able to fly."

"I hope our cub can fly with the wind one day."

The Duke heard the little female's soft voice, full of tenderness and wishes.

Her tone was a little coquettish:
"Just call it Yu Meng, okay?"
