Chapter 109 Rabbit’s cub.
Yu Zhizhi's hand holding the phone suddenly trembled. Her eyes widened and she looked at the small white phone in disbelief——
Is it the Duke? !
Or was she tired from playing today and had a delusion?
Yu Zhizhi held the phone and said nothing for a long time. The water on her hair dripped into her neck, and she wiped it with a towel before realizing it.
After making that phone call during the day, the Duke spent the whole day in the pool.
There was a rare heavy rain in Valoran's Imperial City.
In the evening, the rain gradually stopped.
He rested against the pool for a nap, the snake's tail sinking to the bottom, and the fingertips holding his forehead turned slightly white.
After a heavy rain, all the bamboo leaves in the yard were washed away.
But the Duke's chest was always as heavy as a stone weighing a thousand kilograms.
At night.
The crescent moon is half hidden.
The microphone worn by 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 little female.
She called back.
The Duke stared blankly and touched the microphone with his finger.
Soon, his longing voice came from the other end.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Who is he looking for?
The Duke's eyelashes were long and slender. He held the microphone with one hand. In the hot mist, the snake's tail sank to the bottom of the pool and swam slowly.
There was deathly silence.
It seems to be alive now.
He couldn't help but chuckle, and the laughter contained a hint of joy, but it was also mixed with self-deprecation that he couldn't hide.
Happy because of this phone call.
It feels ridiculous to be so happy.
This is just a disobedient little pet. How can it easily affect his emotions?
"Hello, I'm looking for a little rabbit that ran away from home. Is she there?"
The other end of the microphone suddenly went silent.
Even though he couldn't see the little female, he knew that she should have round eyes at this moment, looking at a loss.
The Duke waited patiently.
The moment Yu Zhizhi heard the man's voice, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. After such a long time, I still remember his voice, lazy and hoarse, with a faint smile and a touch of coolness.
Late at night in the wooden house, the fireplace burns quietly.
The weak 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 could the Duke have her communication number in the paradise?
"Having fun outside during this time?"
On the other end of the phone, the Duke's deep, magnetic voice sounded clearer because it was through the microphone.
Like, close to her ear.
Yu Zhizhi hugged her legs and responded in a low voice: "It's okay."
After a pause, she added: "I'm more happy today. We went to build a snowman. Yousen is very good. The carrot nose he carved for the snowman is particularly beautiful."
"We also went to a small restaurant to eat the park's special dishes——"
"I drank a little bit of the mixed wine, it was lychee flavored, very sweet."
Listening to the sweet and brisk voice of the little female, the Duke felt an uncontrollable itch in his heart, mixed with a touch of bitterness and unwillingness.
From that silent phone call during the day to now, he was sitting in the pool, caught in a heavy rainstorm.
The heavy rain poured down from his body and into his heart. His golden vertical pupils slowly closed. The water in the pool was filled with mist. His wet dark blue hair fell down on his shoulders, and a drop of water flowed into the pool along his jawline.
He sits alone.
He sank.
He struggled, he was angry.
His mood was like a roller coaster with eighteen turns. But the little female didn't have any entangled emotions. She happily shared today's happiness. How simple and magnanimous.
As Yu Zhizhi was talking, she noticed the silence on the other side of the communicator, and she couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, are you listening?"
"……Um."
The word "man" seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
Yu Zhizhi wiped the rabbit ears with a towel. Her hair was half dry now. A smile appeared on her lips: "The mermaid likes to eat apples. He drank several cups of apple stuffing——"
"Okay." The Duke interrupted her chatter, "No more talk about mermaids."
Knowing she bought a fish.
The baby must be like something, always surrounding the mermaid.
"Oh..." Yu Zhizhi could probably hear that the Duke's voice was a little unhappy. Even though she was far away, she was still instinctively afraid.
"I watched the live broadcast today." Yu Zhizhi lay sideways on the sofa with a fluffy pillow on his head, "There is a cub with a weak constitution. You...you have to treat them equally."
Can't be treated harshly.
The Duke knew what the little female meant. He had already ordered the six snake cubs to be raised together.
but--
"The other five elders of the Snake Clan have all been named, but this one is the only one left without a name."
"Why?"
"In the snake tribe, male cubs that do not meet the initial level will be abandoned."
"Then, then it -" Yu Zhizhi immediately sat up and said in a panic: "Zai Zai is still so young, we can't throw it away!"
"It's not lost." The Duke said calmly.
He asked his servant to pass on the instructions. This snake cub, who was born weak, would not be expelled from the snake tribe's territory.
After all, it is the cub of a rabbit.
It was born from a rabbit.
It was Tutu who gave birth to him...
Thinking of this, it was difficult for him to use the cruel rules of the snake clan to treat this little cub.
Yu Zhizhi heard the sound of a lighter.
The Duke must have lit his pipe at this moment.
"Choose a name." The Duke took a puff of cigarette and leaned against the pool. Soon the smoke filled up and obscured his sight.
The crescent moon on the horizon avoids the dark clouds and ripples gently on the 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 swayed slowly in the water.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
Give that little snow-white snake a name?
She thought for a moment and said softly: "Yu Meng."
--feather?
The Duke's hand holding the slender cigarette rod 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 in a brisk tone: "I know. If you didn't go to the shell-breaking ceremony today, you might not have seen it. Amon is all white, like a pure and flawless feather."
What a bad name.
And feathers.
As expected, the little female still missed the dead eagle the most.
The Duke's teeth tightened slightly: "No."
"Actually, there are other meanings." Yu Zhizhi said softly: "In "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", Yu Meng is a spiritual beast with wings but always unable to fly. But no matter how many times it fails, it never gives up."
"Besides, Yu Meng actually doesn't know that it doesn't need to fly in a hurry. Because one day, when the wind comes, it will be able to fly."
"I hope our cub can fly with the wind one day."
The Duke heard the soft voice of the little female, full of tenderness and wishes.
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone:
"Just call it Yumeng, okay?"
