Don't think that just because I wrote it for Easter Monday and it's about a rabbit, it's going to be a cute story !!!!

I would have warned you !!!!

😈😈😈

The morning was well underway when I returned to the Jingshi to join my soul mate.

The morning reading had seemed long. During the whole time, I had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen. Strangely enough, I was sure that it was about Wei Ying. So I hurried .... without running!

When I walked through the door, everything looked normal, but he wasn't there!

The lunch box I had prepared for him was gone. So he had had his breakfast. After a passage by the toilet corner, I noticed that the bathtub had been emptied. I went to the wardrobe to check what he had put on. It was then that I noticed that there was one of his red dresses on the floor. I approached it. Something seemed to move underneath ....

I drew Bichen and with its point lifted the garment.

A small black muzzle appeared. I looked at it in more detail. It was a beautiful little black rabbit with shiny fur. It seemed to be terrified by Bichen's point. It had a red ribbon around its ear!

What was this rabbit doing with a ribbon and in my love's dress ?????

The bad feeling of the morning came back to me. I raised the rabbit to my face and looked into his eyes.

His little paws tried to grab my headband!!!

No it wasn't possible!!!

"Wei Ying ?????"

I moved him a little closer and he put his mouth on my lips!!! This behavior could only be my soul mate, but how was it possible that he was in the skin of a rabbit ????

I needed help, I decided to go and find my brother. I got out of the Jingshi with the rabbit in my arms and ran this time to Xichen's workroom. The disciples I passed looked surprised, even shocked at my behavior, especially when they saw that not only did I not listen to their warning, but I glared at them in response.

I knocked on the door and my brother told me to come in. He was not alone, Uncle was with him. They looked at me surprised.

"Wangji, what's going on? You seem to be in a hurry," my brother asked.

I held out the black rabbit to them.

"Wei Ying".

"Did Wuxian give it to you?" asked Xichen.

"It's nice of him," he continued.

"No, ... it was Wei Ying.

They both looked at the fur ball I was holding in front of me in disbelief.

"Are you sure?" my brother asked as he walked over to take a closer look at my precious burden. Uncle did the same.

"Mnnn! Yes ! "

"Oh at least in this form it will be quieter!!!" quipped Uncle.

I turned the rabbit towards me and raised it to my face. Once again he put his mouth on my lips and tried to play with my blindfold.

"I discovered it under the fabric of Wei Ying's dress and it is nowhere to be found! All morning I had a bad feeling!"

"Wangji there may be another explanation, don't think the worst just yet!"

"What other explanation?"

"The most logical ... this rabbit is a gift he wanted to give you and it escaped him ... as for him, he may be with his class ..."

"He wasn't giving a lesson today that's why I was going home to have lunch at Jingshi with him! We had to meet there. He wouldn't leave without leaving a message for me.

Brother thought for a moment.

"If something happened to him, it happened there, let's go!"

We left Uncle and Brother and I went back to my house. It was still empty. Wei Ying had not appeared again.

"All right Wangji, what does Wuxian do when he gets up?"

"He kisses me!"

"After Wangji..."

"He eats his breakfast that I have prepared for him and put in a warm basket".

"Well, then?"

"He puts the basket and the dishes back in the kitchen."

We went there. The bowls and cutlery were in the tub for the dishes.

"And then?"

"He takes the bath I prepared for him."

"Wangji, are you always like this with him?" my brother frowned!

"Mnnn Why?"

"Not for nothing, but you are really caring about him!"

"I couldn't take care of him for 16 years, so I do it now.

"That's what I see! Aren't you afraid that it's... too much?"

"Too much?"

"Yes, that he feels like he can't do anything by himself anymore?

Had I gone too far? Brother seemed to think so. Even if that were true, it didn't explain his disappearance!

"I'll ask him when I find him."

"Well... and then what does he do?"

"He's going to get dressed."

We went to the closet where his robes were. Brother crouched down next to the one on the floor and looked at it more closely.

"Is this one from the closet or is it the one he wore yesterday?"

"The housedress I had prepared for him when he got up!"

"You choose up to his wardrobe when he gets up? Wangji, don't you feel like you're running everything in his life? Aren't you being too... bossy with him?"

"He seems to like it!"

"Did you ask him about it?"

"Mnn... no!"

"Well, I'm inviting you to do so, because even if you like it, your behavior seems excessive to me!

Brother stood up, still holding the dress. A paper fell out of it!

I bent down to pick it up. It was a message from Wei Ying. After reading it, I turned around and ran out of the Jingshi and into the rabbit grove. Leaving my brother standing there speechless! I couldn't believe what it said!

No it was a nightmare, it was not possible, he could not leave me !!!!

I walked up the path to the clearing. He was on the other side, he was moving away... I shouted his name ....

"Wei Ying !!!!" my vision blurred and everything went black!

"Lan Zhan? Why are you shouting, I am here!"

I felt 2 arms embrace me and hold me tight. I opened my eyes. He was standing there staring at me with a worried look. I looked around. We were at the Jingshi in our bed. I hugged him as hard as I could.

"I thought you were leaving me."

"Lan Zhan, it was a bad dream! You know I would never do that. Was it my note that scared you?"

"I didn't read it all...I stopped at: I'm leaving Jingshi...".

"Why would I leave you with a gift of a rabbit with a red ribbon, like on the lanterns you used to draw with SiZhui when he was little?"

"The lantern rabbit?"

"Yes, he told me that the first time you threw one together, you told him that the rabbits were a message for your lost love... Today I am with you and I wanted my black rabbit to join your white rabbits in the clearing! I even taught him some tricks! He can kiss and also play with the Lan cloud!

I thought back to what my brother had told me about my behavior towards my soul mate.

"Wei Ying, am I smothering you with my love and attention? Brother pointed out to me that I was making all the decisions for you...".

"Lan Zhan, I would have told you! In fact, I am the one who is ashamed. Sometimes I feel as if I am unloading all my worries on you and letting myself be carried by your love. I always feel like I'm being selfish!

"Then I can continue?".

My soul mate's lips came to rest on mine.

"If you didn't, I would be the one wondering if you don't want to leave me!"

"Mmm... No way, Wei Ying is mine and I would never leave you!"

"Me neither ... we two are for .... eternity .........."
