Chapter 7: Why does Wife want to be my dad

Peng Ci’s cries were deafening and never-ending, its little body hiding a giant power.

An Xingzhou gripped the scarf in his hand more and more tightly, his face expressionless. This crying was going to make his entire self numb.

Peng Ci cried for two minutes, bawling with its eyes closed. The cries gradually weakened. After waiting and waiting, it still didn’t get An Xingzhou to pick it up from the floor to comfort it, and it couldn’t resist sneakily cracking open one of its eyes to sneak a peek at An Xingzhou.

And then he saw An Xingzhou’s expressionless face.

Peng Ci: “……?”

Peng Ci was a little aggrieved. It thought, “Why is Wife still not coming to coax me?! Does he not love me anymore?!”

As it thought and thought, it couldn’t resist crying again. The more it cried, the louder it was, like a little kid throwing a tantrum for toys. Crying until it burped, it slowed down bit by bit again, once again quietly opening one of his eyes to look again.

‘I cried to the point of burping! Wife definitely feels sympathy for me, right?! He only didn’t come to hug me because he doesn’t know what he should do! Humans have a four word idiom called ‘being at a loss!’’

After it finished comforting itself, it stared and noticed that An Xingzhou didn’t.

An Xingzhou was still that expressionless An Xingzhou, unwilling to look at it even in the slightest.

Peng Ci: “Waah…”

Peng Ci’s nose twitched, its ears trembling a few times and slowly drooping down. There was a humming in its throat, and it made small crying sounds. Its butt was arched in the air and its head on the ground. Its little front paws were placed on its head, unmoving.

“You’re really crying?” An Xingzhou walked over and sat next to Peng Ci with his legs crossed. He poked Peng Ci’s paws and rubbed along its ears. “Come, raise your head and let me see.”

“Awooo——” Peng Ci was unwilling to raise its head and, treating its head as the axis, turned its body with tiny steps to face its butt towards An Xingzhou.

An Xingzhou poked Peng Ci’s butt. “Angry?”

Peng Ci was silent. Twisting its butt to avoid An Xingzhou’s hand, it clawed at the ground with its hind paws to try and express that it was very angry by using body language.

An Xingzhou rubbed Peng Ci’s fur again, asking it, “You’re really ignoring me?”

Peng Ci slowly raised its head a little then quickly lowered it back down, its meaning very clear. This time, it won’t be as easy to resolve! Unless you coax me!

“Sigh~” An Xingzhou intentionally sighed loudly. Seeing Peng Ci’s drooping ears subconsciously rise, he couldn’t resist turning up the ends of his mouth in a smile. But very quickly, he restrained himself. He shifted his legs to hit the floor, acting as if he was going to get up and leave. “If you’re ignoring me, then fine. Looks like I can only go outside by myself.”

“Squeak squeak!” Peng Ci immediately jumped up and turned around. “Squeak squeak squeak!” Wife, don’t go!

An Xingzhou really didn’t go.

He was still sitting steadily and staring at it.

It was tricked.

Peng Ci leapt into An Xingzhou’s embrace with a “Awoo” and pushed lightly at An Xingzhou’s clothes crazily, its nose huffing. “Wife is the meaniest!”

An Xingzhou couldn’t resist hugging Peng Ci and laughing heartily. He patted Peng Ci’s head.

The little bunny was still hitting him, its paws soft. The hits on his body were like tickles.

“Okay, okay. I was wrong.” An Xingzhou felt his heart tickle from the hitting. He finally understood why everyone would treat their pets as their precious darlings.

An Xingzhou subconsciously caught Peng Ci’s little paws, placed them next to his mouth and kissed them, and then rubbed Peng Ci’s head.

“Mhm!” Peng Ci hurriedly retracted its paw, covered its face and eyes, and then extended its tongue to crazily lick the paw An Xingzhou had kissed.

Indirect kiss! Peng licked its paw while screaming internally “Wife kissed me! Wife really loves me so much! I also love Wife so much!”

An Xingzhou watched the series of actions the little bunny did while crouching in his lap, feeling that his entire body was filled with Buddhistic nature and was emitting the light of the Holy Father.

Even though Peng Ci called him ‘Wife’, its actions were really too foolish and too retarded. An Xingzhou took on a different identity with quite the self awareness.

After all, he had to look for a female rabbit.

An Xingzhou said without the slightest psychological hindrance, “Good boy. It’s Dad’s fault. Don’t be angry anymore!”

Peng Ci: “???”

Peng Ci’s paw licking action stopped in an instant.

Its little paws were still raised in front of itself. It had even forgotten to retract its tongue. Its pink and tender tongue was hanging outside, and it turned its head to stare at An Xingzhou stupidly.

An Xingzhou opened Peng Ci’s mouth and helped it put its tongue back.

“Wife…” Peng Ci suddenly started crying teardrops. “Sob sob, you’re my Wife! Why do you want to be my dad sob sob sob——Does Wife like my mom sob sob burp——”

An Xingzhou: “…”

F*ck.

An Xingzhou suddenly felt his head hurt and quietly apologized to Peng Ci’s real dad in his mind. ‘My brain really short circuited and forgot that this rabbit is a demon! And I actually wanted to be some father and whatnot!’

An Xingzhou didn’t have much logical justification and good-temperedly coaxed Peng Ci a long while. But Peng Ci learned quickly and already knew to go for a yard after getting an inch. It insisted on having An Xingzhou kiss it and say he loved it before it was willing to forgive An Xingzhou’s action of forcibly being its father.

An Xingzhou: “…”

Suit yourself.

He held Peng Ci’s soft belly with the palm of his hand and stood up to place the little rabbit on the bed. “Shut up. Are you still going outside or not?”

“I’m going!” Peng Ci immediately changed its attitude, and its legs kicked midair, changing its words. “Wife is the best!”

An Xingzhou rolled his eyes.

An Xingzhou folded the rose-printed silk scarf in his hand into a triangle, covered Peng Ci’s back with it, and circled around Peng Ci’s neck to tie a ribbon. After tugging it, he asked, “Does your neck feel suffocated?”

“No!” Peng Ci shook its tail. “Is this the little cape Wife specially prepared for me?!”

“Not specially…” An Xingzhou flattened the wrinkles and picked up Peng Ci. “Then let’s go out?”

“Wait!” Peng Ci hugged An Xingzhou’s finger and licked it. “Wife, bring me to look in the mirror! Am I not very handsome?!”

“…” An Xingzhou looked at the vivid red and delicate rose print on that silk scarf on Peng Ci’s body and turned his head to clear his throat. “You’re very handsome. You don’t need to look in the mirror!”

Wife complimented me as handsome! Peng Ci’s tail shook even more happily and clung onto An Xingzhou without letting go. “Then I have to go look in the mirror even more! To see how handsome I am!”

As Peng Ci talked, it winked at An Xingzhou, saying, “Wife, take photos for me, okayy?!”

An Xingzhou: “…”

It’d be better to look in the mirror instead of taking photos.

An Xingzhou walked into the bathroom with Peng Ci then placed it in front of the mirror. He quietly turned his head away and retreated a few steps, thinking, “It’s probably going to cry from the tackiness.”

But after An Xingzhou waited a few seconds, he didn’t hear Peng Ci’s crying but instead an exclamatory sigh.

Peng Ci hopped back and forth in front of the mirror and said after trying 180 different poses: “Wife! This cape is really pretty!”

An Xingzhou: “?”

Peng Ci happily yelled, “They’re roses! I heard roses represent love in the human world! Is this proof of Wife’s love for me?!”

No. An Xingzhou thought with a wooden expression. This is my mom’s silk scarf. It might be the proof of her love for you.
