After working at noon, Mi Qing returned to the locker room and changed back into her casual clothes, and routinely went home to take a nap.
Probably because she met Rabbit gege in the morning, her steps were flighty than usual. She was humming a tune when she got to the door, took her key out and opened the door. Husky welcomed her happily: âWang Wang!â
Mi Qing stooped low and scratched the dog, who was wagging his tail, smiling. âDog, I havenât seen you in two days. Did you miss me?â
âWang Wang ~â
Husky licked her leg affectionately, and Xiao Gu, sitting in the living room, glanced sideways at him and called, âTiantian, come here.â
âWang!â Husky screamed in refusal. Xiao Gu stared him down, accentuating: âCome here.â
âWang Wang.â Husky shook his head reluctantly.
Mi Qing whispered a few meters away, âWhat a good man, even bullies a dog.â
Xiao Gu raised his eyes and gave her the evil eye. Mi Qingâs liver shook, so she carefully and quickly ran back to her room.
She patted her chest and exhaled, and lay down on the bed and played with her mobile phone for a while.
A notification from the shopping app for second hand goods that she downloaded before suddenly popped up. She clicked on it and found someone who commented under her dress.
Ai Lili: Are you still selling this dress?
Mi Qing immediately sprang back to life: âOn sale.â She thought about it and added a sentence, âBut no bargaining, shipping fee included.â
Ai Lili: OK.
Rabbit two: The dress has only been washed once, so it is guaranteed 90% new. The size is M.
Ai Lili: Alright, I tried it at the Bunny boutique today and it fits me well. The shop is now having an end-of-the-year sales promo and this item is 10% off. Itâs worth more than 7,000 pieces. Itâs so expensive.
Rabbit two: Then you take a picture, I will send it in a while.
Ai Lili did not reply for a while, and soon she received a transaction notification, and it was Ai Lili who bought the baby. After confirming delivery details with Ai Lili, she quit the app.
She opened her closet and wrapped the dress up, then crawled back to bed to sleep.
She hid under her quilt and couldnât help thinking as if she was in the middle of sending the parcel. First, she will reunite with her Rabbit gege, then meet her cheerful customer rejuvenated. Next, maybe her father has already softened up?
She closed her eyes daydreaming.
After the dress was shipped and Ai Lili confirmed receipt after two days. Mi Qing withdrew the money from her bank card, watching her extra income of 6,000 and happily decided to treat herself to a meal at night.
âŠ. No, sheâs going out for fun with Rabbit gege tomorrow. With this in mind, Mi Qing returned directly home after work.

At this time of the day, Xiao Gu was teasing his dog while watching TV in the living room. At the sound of the door opening, he glanced in the direction of Mi Qing and turned his head back.
Mi Qing wrinkled her nose at him. Huh, heâs been ignoring her, she isnât about to break the silence yet.
She was about to return to her room, when the phone in her bag vibrated. She took it out and found that it was a text message from Rabbit gege.
âAre you off work? ^ _ ^â
The corner of Mi Qingâs lips rose as she replied: âJust arrived home [rabbit]â
Rabbit gege: At ten oâclock tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for you outside Nancheng Garden, alright?
She had told him before that she lived in Nancheng Garden. Mi Qing smiled giddily and replied, âOK.â
Rabbit gege: [Rabbit]
âExchanging messages with your hero? Look at your stupid smile.â
Xiao Guâs cold voice bit from the living room. Mi Qing put away her phone and snorted at him, âWhatâs your matter with you? Single dog.â
âWang Wang!â Husky auto checked-in.
Xiao Gu: ââŠâ
His eyes narrowed into slits and looked at Mi Qing: âAre you saying that you are already in a relationship?â
Mi Qing froze for a moment, but still held onto her calm: âAt least I have a target that can be developed.â
Xiao Gu looked at her up and down and said, âI also have a target for development.â
Mi Qing was startled and she blinked quickly: âRong Rong jie?â But I heard Rong Rong jie saying that you turned her down, didnât you? Did the plot turn around in the past two days?â
âLin Jingrong is just a business partner.â Xiao Gu remained staring at her and answered in the same cold voice.
âWho is it then?â Mi Qing asked unconsciously. She has lived with Xiao Gu for so long, but she had never seen him staying out at night, and rarely even went out to play. If he were to have a target for romance, the subject ⊠the subject would mostly likely be his dog.
Xiao Gu spends most of his free time with his dog and Husky has always enjoyed the treatment of Xiao Guâs girlfriend.
Mi Qing waited, but without hearing Xiao Guâs answer, she left snorting and went back to her room.
Tomorrow is the day she is going to play with Rabbit gege. She must get her clothes ready.
She inspected her closet for a while, and finally took out a black pleated skirt, this time paired with a black and white jacquard half turtleneck sweater, and coat ⊠if only her pink coat had not been sold.
Mi Qing cried bitterly. She thought for a long time, before deciding on an oversized double-breasted milky overcoat.
After her clothes were ready, she gathered her rabbit ear pajamas to the bathroom for a bath, after which she fell asleep early.
To ensure the next dayâs schedule, Mi Qing also set an alarm clock, which screamed angrily at half past eight. She rubbed her hazy eyes and stood up tenaciously to start washing.
She applied her make up on meticulously, then looked at the time. She still has half an hour to ten. After a moment of deliberation, she decided to go out and wait for Rabbit gege.
Mi Qing put on her coat and picked her bag, and went out of the room. The living room was empty. Xiao Gu must have gone out to walk the dog, and he hasnât returned yet.
Mi Qing left Nancheng Garden and saw Zhou Yiran waiting at the gate.
His car was parked on the side of the road. It was a white Cayenne. His picture leaning picturesque by the side of the car captured the attention of many passing women.
Mi Qing paused for a moment and shouted at him: âRabbit ⊠Zhou Yiran.â
Zhou Yiran saw her walking towards himself and stood upright, smiling back at her in greeting.
âWhy are you here so early? Didnât we say at ten oâclock?â Mi Qing walked to him.
Zhou Yiran smiled and said, âFortunately, I came early, otherwise you would have been waiting for me in the cold wind.â
Mi Qingâs pure pink and tender heart was charmed.
Zhou Yiran wanted to go to the other side of the car to help Mi Qing open the door, but his eyes fell on a figure nearby, then greeted politely, âHello.â
Mi Qing froze. She looked back in the direction of his gaze, and found Xiao Gu at a glance.

Xiao Gu stopped on his tracks and nodded towards Zhou Yiran, saying hello. Husky in front of him yelled twice and pulled him to Zhou Yiran.
âWang Wang!â Husky barked at Zhou Yiran hostily.
âTiantian, donât make trouble.â Xiao Gu pulled the leash on his hand, but Husky still barked Zhou Yiran unconvinced.
Zhou Yiran glanced down at him and addressed Xiao Gu: âYour dog?â
Xiao Gu responded lightly: âYes.â
His gaze shifted to Mi Qing, who was standing next to Zhou Yiran, and then turned to Zhou Yiran: âAre you going out for fun?â
âYes.â Zhou Yiran answered with a smile, âToday is not her working day, so she wouldnât be having any salary deduction to play.â
Xiao Guâs lips ticked silently: âEven if there was salary deduction, didnât you say youâd double it up for her?â
Zhou Yiran merely smiled and spoke no more. Xiao Gu took another look at Mi Qing and pulled his dog back: âTiantian, letâs go.â
âWang!â Husky barked at Zhou Yiran once more, and then wagged his tail at Mi Qing.
Mi Qing waved at him: âIâll buy you meat later.â
âWang Wang!â For the first time, Husky was stressed by the difficulty of communicating with humans.
After he was dragged away by Xiao Gu helplessly, he began to lose his temper and threw all sorts of mischief. Xiao Gu stood up and rubbed his head: âDo you want a beating again?â
âWang!â Husky glared at him sullenly. Youâre the expert at beating me, if you have such ability, why didnât you beat that person just now!
Xiao Gu laughed suddenly, squatting down and looking him in the eye, âYou dare scold me, if I had let you go, would you have had the guts to bite him?â
âWoo woooo.â Huskyâs momentum instantly plummeted by half.
âSo, thereâs no need for your bluff.â Xiao Gu stood up, pulling him forward again, âI will handle it myself.â
Back at the gate of the community, after Mi Qing got into Zhou Yiranâs car, he handed her a beautifully wrapped box: âHere, a gift for you.â
Mi Qing was surprised and received the box. âWhat is this? A Christmas gift?â
Zhou Yiran could not help but laugh out loud: âYour birthday gift, did you forget it?â
Mi Qing immediately joined in the laughter, âOh, yeah, I forgot.â She beamed, and then asked skeptically, âDid you always carry these gifts with you? Or did you go on a special trip back to City A to get it?â
Zhou Yiran said, âI went back yesterday to get it.â He pointed to the back seat sideways, âThe rabbit plush doll is also for you.â
Mi Qing glanced back to the back seat and sure enough, there she saw a big rabbit doll sitting there, wearing a seat belt. She couldnât help laughing, âThank you, but you didnât have to run back to get it, how troublesome it is.â
âItâs no trouble at all.â Zhou Yiran turned and looked at Mi Qingdao. âBy the way, you really like rabbits.â
Mi Qing grinned and said nothing.
She still remembers the first time she saw Rabbit gege for the first time. She ran out of the ball that day and met a monstrous dog in the garden. A five-year-old like her was not even as big as that dog, and she was terrified the moment the dog stared at her.
It was dark, and the darkness exacerbated her fear. She couldnât even remember how she started to cry.
Then the story unfolded, Rabbit gege suddenly appeared in front of her with a pair of pink rabbit ears on his head, shining like a pair of hot iron in the dark, branding his image into her heart.
Since then, she became enamored with Rabbit gege and the rabbit ears on his head. She became obsessed with all things related to rabbits, and collected piles and piles of rabbit ears. She even begged her mother to raise rabbits for a while.
Rabbits are really cute, but she never asked Brother gege why a sensible boy like him would wear a pair of rabbit ears.
Perhaps it was his personal hobby.
Besides, his Weibo username is also Mr. Rabbit.
Noticing her giddy smile, Zhou Yiran asked, âWhatâs on your mind?â
Mi Qing shook her head in concealment: âItâs nothing, just thinking about where to play in a while.â
Zhou Yiran had actually prepared their trip before departure, but still asked her for her opinion: âIs there any place you want to go?â
âUhm.â Mi Qing thought hard, âIâm not familiar with City A, originally Xiao Gu said he would take me to play âŠâ
Mi Qing came to a stop abruptly. Thatâs right, he was going to take herself out to play.
She didnât know why. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Zhou Yiran groaned and smiled pleasantly: âLetâs go to the Starlight Department Store first. Yuâs has put up a dessert shop there, havenât you eaten there yet?â
âNo.â Mi Qing shook her head. She hung around Yu restaurants often when she was in City C. She originally planned to visit all of Yuâs restaurants here when she came to City A, but her plan was cut off right from the start since her money was stolen.
âThen letâs start off at the dessert shop for some sweets.â Zhou Yiran started the car excitedly.
It was not long before they reached the dessert shop. Since its establishment, it has always been crowded giving off the impression of not reaching the counter even after a day. Fortunately, Zhou Yiran had Yuâs black card and they walked through a back door.
While sitting in the dining area eating, Mi Qing was so happy that she almost bubbled up: âAh, I havenât eaten such delicious treats for a long time!â After she said it, she corrected herself, âAh, thatâs not right, Xiao Guâs stuff was also super delicious. Did you eat dried mango when you came to the store last time? He made it himself, it was a hit. â
Zhou Yiran smiled in response. He stood up and asked Mi Qing, âWhat else do you want to eat? Iâll buy it for you.â
Mi Qing ordered two more cakes, and Zhou Yiran went through the back door again.
By the time they finished their snacks, it was already eleven oâclock. The two took a turn around the mall, planning to digest their food before going to another restaurant for lunch.
Many of the staff in front of the mall counters were dressed in Christmas outfits. Zhou Yiran glanced at Mi Qing and said, âLetâs come out again at Christmas. It should be more lively at that time.â
âOkay!â Mi Qing agreed happily.
Zhou Yiran chuckled, and the two walked under the Christmas tree in the mall. Zhou Yiran pointed to the piano under the Christmas tree and said to Mi Qing, âDo you want me to play a piece for you?â
Mi Qing laughed wryly: âHahaha, sure, in fact, I saw your post on Weibo before. You also played it last time and recorded it, right?â
Zhou Yiran winked at her: âThis time, itâs exclusive a song for you.â
Mi Qing felt a bit shy at once. She coughed and shifted the topic: âThen you play Jingle Bells. I played it the last time I came with Xiao Gu.â
Zhou Yiran frowned subtly. He stayed silent for a moment, watching Mi Qing: âCan our topic not revolve around Xiao Gu?â
