,,Why should we be here!? ", Feng Xin asked annoyed and tried not to step on the books that were lying on the floor. 

Mu Qing was right behind him and rolled his eyes for the hundredth time. Hua Cheng was sitting next to Xie Lian Boden. Sometimes Mu Qing really wondered why Xie Lian invited her when his stupid husband clung to him like a second shadow. Obviously, Mu Qing and Feng Xin were actually very unnecessary here. He also wondered why he even came when he knew it wasn't going to end well.

,,I read through the old fairy tales that we always liked to hear together back then!", Xie Lian exclaimed excitedly. 

Mu Qing has had a busy day, but to be here now with a ticking bomb, an innocent rabbit and a loud cursing people with aggression problems is going to drive him crazy sooner or later. He really wondered how he was going to take it. Less than two hours later, Mu Qing just wanted to faint. Hua Cheng annoyed him to death, while Feng Xin roared angrily, Xie Lian Mu Qing bombed with stories. Mu Qing had run out of nerves for everyone. When Feng Xin started cursing, it was too much for Mu Qing. He really didn't have the nerve for it. Before he came here, he had already had to answer several prayers. Now here was another argument with a ticking time bomb and a brainless aggressive gorilla, Mu Qing really didn't feel like it anymore, while Xie Lian sat next to it like an innocent rabbit and tried to calm everything down. As always, he couldn't do it. Mu Qing just rolled his eyes again in disgust.

At some point, Mu Qing was too tired and didn't even notice how he fell asleep as he leaned against one of the piles of books. He somehow blocked out the noise around him and fell asleep. 

When he woke up again, he saw a blue sky, so radiantly clear. He felt lightheaded, his body felt light and numb at the same time. The wind that came gently past him was incredibly pleasant. The sun stole him and gave him a pleasant warmth, which is why he closed his eyes for a moment and wanted to go back to sleep. But when he remembered that he never fell asleep in a meadow, the tiredness disappeared immediately. He frowned in amazement. Has Hua Cheng kidnapped him anywhere now? Did he tell Xie Lian something again and then secretly dropped him off somewhere !? Besides, where is Feng Xin ?! But no matter how many times he looked around, he saw neither Feng Xin nor Xie Lian nor Hua Cheng. He was completely alone in this place he had never been.

But when he looked around more closely, he was lying on a meadow, then he looked down at himself, he was wearing a strange blue dress with a white apron. Mu Qing was about to throw up. 

Why the hell is he wearing a dress ?! 

He looked up and looked around. 

Where was he!? 

He quickly got up and ran to a nearby river and looked at his reflection. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom. He almost passed out. A huge blue bow adorned his high ponytail. Where the hell was he !? And why did he look like that !? Mu Qing wanted to burst with anger. That must have been one of Hua Cheng's stupid pranks !! Just as he wanted to get up angrily to find the way back, something passed him. 

,,Oh no! Oh no! No more time! No more time!", Shouted the person who ran past. 

Irritated, Mu Qing looked after this figure. His eyes almost fell out of their eye sockets.

,,Dianxia!?", he shouted startled, but Xie Lian did not hear him. 

He kept running, staring at his pocket watch while holding a walking stick in his other hand. His usually all-white robes have been replaced by an elegant suit. His jacket was a tailcoat and had two ends. He wore a top hat on his head, but what really made Mu Qing faint was that Xie Lian had two white rabbit ears on his head, there was a rabbit puss on his bottom, this ran across the meadow with his almost perfectly clean white, black boots. Without thinking twice, Mu Qing quickly ran after him. Mu Qing quickly noticed that his shoes had a throat heel. He wanted to take off those shoes and hit a tree, but he couldn't afford to lose sight of Xie Lian. 

,,Danxia wait!", Mu Qing shouted desperately, because it feels more and more as if Xie Lian is running even faster. 

Mu Qing knew all this from somewhere. Only at that moment it just didn't occur to him. Xie Lian jumped into a hole in the tree and disappeared. Without thinking, Mu Qing followed him and also fell into the hole. To his surprise, he fell into nothing. For a few seconds he saw nothing, until there was a strange glow around him. Um Some furniture floated around him as he slowly fell down as if he were floating. He felt incredibly light. An empty bottle flew up on him, he could catch a glimpse of it, it had orange juice on it. It landed softer than he did it Confused, he looked around. Briefly he caught a glimpse of Xie Lian, who ran quickly on, so quickly that he then disappeared from Mu Qing's field of vision. 

Again, Mu Qing called for him and tried to hurry after him, as he noticed that there was a fan on the floor. Confused, he took this fan. Did Xie Lian just lose it? Without thinking further, he put the fan in his pocket and started running again. He had to hurry, there was no time to think! Finally he has to find out why he was here! Mu Qing thought about how he couldn't tell when he came here. It was sure to be the fault of Xie Lian's stupid husband again! He was at the library an hour ago, when he woke up he was just here, in a blue dress with a big blue bow on his head. He might throw up! As he ran on, he came into a room with many doors. Mu Qing looked around, confused. In this room the doors were closed while there was a small table at the end of the room where Mu Qing was standing. 

Slowly it dawned on Mu Qing where he could be. It was like his favorite fairy tale which he always loved to read as a child when he was still in Xie Le. 

But there is no way he could have become part of this story !! 

Or? 

He looked at his clothing again. 

That can not be true! 

This is a bad joke! 

Panicked, Mu Qing looked around and tried to find an exit somehow, but if he remembers correctly he has to walk through wonderland to get into his world. He sighed. Does he have no choice but to wander through wonderland? 

Mu Qing really just wanted to hit his head against the wall. Without even touching the other doors, he ran straight out to a curtain that was on the floor and pushed it aside. In fact, there was a door behind it. Mu Qing quickly turned back to the table and dashed over there to take the key and ran back. The door opened without further ado. Perfect. Now all he has to do is drink the potion and become small, but he mustn't make the same mistake as Alice. He put the key in his pocket. Important, he thought, and patted the bag briefly. Then he discovered the potion that was on the table that wasn't there before. Mu Qing rolled his eyes. Truly the wonderland. Hesitantly, he picked up the bottle and pulled out the plunger. He sniffs it briefly, it smells good. Sighing, he brought the glass to his lips and emptied it without further ado. Nothing happened for a while and Mu Qing frowned at the bottle. 

,,Didn't it work?", He asked himself confused and put the glass back on the table. 

But shortly after he finished the sentence it suddenly began to shrink. Surprised, he looked up at the table when it was tiny. Now he knows how mice must have felt. To be on the safe side, Mu Qing felt in his pocket for the key. It was still there, lucky! With quick steps he moved back to the door, first he tried to push the blade down, like expected it was locked again, which is why he took the key out. Luckily he hadn't made the same mistake as Alice, because otherwise he would have to shed an incredible number of tears to force the door open, he really didn't feel like doing that He clicked and turned the key in the lock. The door opened without any problems, so Mu Qing walked out quietly. 

A pleasant breeze passed him and let his black hair dance to the beat. The The sun shone brightly, which gave his hair a bluish tint. Mu Qing briefly enjoyed the warm sun that shone on his pale skin before he took a few steps forward. The door he came out of closed. He took a quick look at the door before moving on. He had to find Xie Lian or find the exit from this wonderland. This place he entered somehow reminded him of a garden. If he remembers correctly, he would have to meet some animals here who in the original run around the tree with Alice because they got soaked through Alice's tears. Mu Qing found the said group very quickly, only they weren't animals. 

To Mu Qing's surprise, they talked while he knew these people. The dodo was none other than Shi Qingxuan, who was chatting excitedly with the group. Mu Qing thought he was about to faint for three seconds. 

What was Shi QingXuan doing here!? 

Confused, he slowly walked towards the group, they noticed him and turned to him. He saw other familiar figures as well. Pei Su and Ling Wen were also among them, looking at him curiously. Mu Qing just wanted to turn around and walk on, but it was too late now. 

,,Hey! Who are you? ", Shi Qingxuan asked excitedly and waved his hand, while he was also wearing a white and green suit with striking black boots that had green tendrils on the sides. 

His suit, however, was more like a mixture of dress and suit Also, for a moment, Mu Qing couldn't really identify his gender, since he didn't look really female or male, he couldn't tell from the voice either. But that was really irrelevant. Mu Qing wondered whether he would be Alice or Mu Qing was supposed to introduce, but before he could answer, Shi Qingxuan continued. 

,,I've never seen you here in Wonderland! Are you new?", He asked excitedly and ran next to Mu Qing. 

,,Wuah! I love your dress!", Came next from Shi Qingxuan. 

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, ignoring the statement with his dress.

,,I wanted to ask if you saw someone who was in a hurry and ran by here while he was staring at the clock? ", he asked cautiously. 

He tried to ignore the animal ears on their heads. Mu Qing would probably never be able to forget this sight, even if he wanted to. The group exchanged a few glances. Lang Qianqiu was the first to open his mouth. 

,,Yes, in fact, someone just walked by. Our Mr. Bunny is v --- Ah he is!", He shouted and pointed in a direction behind Mu Qing. 

He quickly turned around. In fact, Xie Lian was standing on a path and looked around confused. 

,,Where have I got it? Where have I got it? Oh, time is of the essence !!! I have to hurry! I must have forgotten it at home!", Then Xie Lian ran off again, scratching his head and desperate staring at the clock. 

He ran into a pink house. Mu Qing didn't even have the time to say thank you. 

,,Dianxia wait! I have your fan!", He shouted quickly and stormed off, leaving a surprised group behind who watched him storm off. 

 Xie Lian disappeared behind the door. Mu Qing immediately ran after, but when he entered the house, Xie Lian had already disappeared. Confused, Mu Qing looked around and walked slowly around the house. He took a close look at the house. The house was beautifully decorated, neater than Mu Qing would ever expect from Xie Lian, while the colors were in perfect contrast. The house was mixed in a light pink-red tone, the furniture was of the best quality, but nobody was in this house. This house had no other doors except for the front door. Everything was connected. Mu Qing took a closer look at the house, really nobody. But he could swear that he just walked in! Mu Qing noticed a glass on the table filled with a clear green liquid. Mu Qing hesitated before picking it up. Then briefly remembered it. 

Alice drank this potion to grow up. Mu Qing sighed. Did he have to do it? Unfortunately, he didn't really know what happened after that, as it had been an incredibly long time since he had heard these stories. He opened the glass bottle and briefly smelled the liquid again. It smelled a bit of lemon. He hesitated before bringing the bottle to his lips and then emptying it with one leap. It tasted bitter, which made Mu Qing grimace for a moment. He put the glass back on the table in silence and waited a few seconds. 

As expected, he became huge, his body changed and began to grow. Shortly afterwards he had to bend down and sit down while his body grew bigger and bigger. He somehow tried to squat or kneel in this cramped house, but he didn't stop growing. At some point his head hit the ceiling and had to bend even more. The roof of the house was raised, at some point it was so big that he wore the roof on his head while it separated from the actual building. In other words, Mu Qing felt like a cat squeezing itself into a box that was way too small and carrying a book on its head. In silence, Mu Qing looked down at his feet. 

,,What !?" someone shouted, startled. 

Mu Qing looked up at the figure who had said that. Xie Lian stood on the floor and looked up at Mu Qing in shock, who looked at him with great surprise. His eyes widened so far Mu Qing thought they were about to fly out of his head. His hat slipped back a little, exposing Xie Lian's forehead while his long hair stood on end in shock. He held the pocket watch in his hands and the cane with the other. Mu Qing was surprised. Xie Lian was outside the house. But he could swear that he had seen him run in! But there was no time to think about it right now. 

,,Dianxia!", Mu Qing then shouted and grabbed the roof with his hands on the roof that was balanced on his head. 

The boy with the rabbit ears looked at him completely confused, but did not respond when this strange person called him with something what he had never heard before. 

,,W-What are you doing with my house?", Mu Qing realized how weird that must be. 

Apparently this Xie Lian didn't know him at all, just like Shi Qingxuan didn't know him either. So he was really just Alice. 

,,Did you drink the potion I left on the table?", Xie Lian called now. 

Mu Qing nodded in confirmation, which made the roof on his head shake dangerously, which caused him half a heart attack. 

,,Please move Xie desperately pleaded Lian, who really worried about the roof. Mu Qing stopped moving. Xie Lian sighed in thanks. 

,,Do you see some cookies in the house? One of the cookies will make you shrink!", Xie Lian shouted to him. 

Confused, Mu Qing looked down at the floor of the house again when he actually saw some cookies on the floor. Were they there before? Or did he didn't notice it, when he grow bigger? But he have no time for question! He want to chance back! Mu Qing look at the cookies. But they were so tiny that he would have overlooked them Xie Lian couldn't get into the house because Mu Qing blocked the entrance and couldn't just make room. Which one can make him tiny again? Mu Qing looked confused at the cookies. They all looked different. 

,,Doesn't matter which one I eat?", Asked Mu Qing then Xie Lian, worriedly scratching his cheek, while he used the other hand to place something with the walking stick. 

,,Not really, they all have different effects", said Xie Lian thoughtfully. Mu Qing rolled his eyes again. 

Very helpful! Without thinking further, Mu Qing carefully picked up a chocolate cookie. This cookie was so small in Mu Qing's hand. It was just about the size of Mu Qing's fingernail. Hesitantly he ate the biscuit. For a moment, as always, nothing happened. Mu Qing prayed that he would get smaller and get the right one. But instead his body changed. He got even bigger !! Well Mu Qing couldn't stretch his legs properly anymore. He sat together in these narrow walls of the house. He was so big that if he moved his hips, legs or feet, the walls could be torn apart at any moment. Xie Lian almost passed out when he saw that his four walls were about to shoot in all directions. 

Xie Lian really fainted if this continues. Mu Qing also seemed uncomfortable. If he made just one move he could really destroy the whole house in one move. 

,,Try another cookie!", Xie Lian then shouted, who has turned pale while his hair stood on end in shock. 

Mu Qing wanted to throw a snappy comment at him, but he refrained from it. It literally burned his tongue, but he pulled himself together. Fortunately, he did not have the habit of cursing loudly like Feng Xin, and generally Mu Qing did not curse. Mu Qing only rolled his eyes in annoyance and carefully tried the ground with his hand felt when he touched another biscuit. He lifted it carefully. This time it was white, checkered black. Mu Qing took a deep breath. 

,,What other effects do these biscuits have besides shrinking and growing me?", asked Mu Qing him then. 

Xie Lian smiled nervously. 

,,You could get a long neck. Or you suddenly become an animal. A cookie could also turn your skin green. One thing can also turn you into an octube a --- "

,,In other words, if I'm lucky I'll be normal, if I'm unlucky I'll turn into a long-necked green octopus if I understand correctly?", Asked Mu Qing, rolling his eyes. 

Xie Lian laughed uncertainly and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Mu Qing actually hit the nail on the head. But he didn't really have a choice either, so Mu Qing ate the cookie. For several seconds, Mu Qing actually prayed that he would not use himself in a green long-necked octupus. His body started to change again, in fact it started to shrink. His body got smaller and smaller. The roof, which he had carried on his head like an opened book, landed perfectly on the house while Mu Qing returned to his old size. Mu Qing has never been so happy and grateful to be normal. For a moment he caught a glimpse in the mirror that hung in Xie Lian's house. He looked normal, no green on his face or anything like that. Still pale skin, narrow expressive obsidian black eyes, raven black hair that gets a dark blue tinge from the sunlight, slightly rosy, dry lips. In short, he was still himself. 

Lucky.

The rabbit, Xie Lian, stormed into the house and looked at him with concern. 

,,Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. 

,,I'm fine," said Mu Qing, rolling one eye. He didn't feel like sniffing at him that he was a giant who could have hit everyone. Xie Lian helped Mu Qing sit up. Then it clicked briefly and it occurred to him that he had to give something back to Xie Lian. 

,,Then it occurs to me that I have to give you something back that you have lost!", Mu Qing said and grabbed his bag, but Xie Lian half listened as he glanced at his pocket watch. 

Panic broke out again immediately. 

,,Oh no! Oh no!", He shouted loudly and panicked. 

Surprised, he stopped his movements and turned his gaze back to Xie Lian as he tried to give him back the fan. Panicking, Xie Lian started running in place while staring at his watch as if it were a ticking time bomb. 

,,I'm late! I'm late! I'll be late again !! Oh no! Oh no! Not again! I'm late again!", He shouted in panic and started running around the house. 

He was shouting something the whole time, staring at his pocket watch while he quickly packed something up and stormed out of the house. 

,,Not again! I'm late! I'm so late again!"

Mu Qing didn't even get the chance Xie Talking to Lian, who ran out so quickly that Mu Qing believed that Xie Lian had forgotten him, or had completely repressed him after seeing that he was late. He hadn't even paid any attention to him, just this watch Mu Qing frowned in confusion, then quickly stormed after him shortly afterwards. 

,,Dianxia now wait a minute! I'm trying to give you something back!", Mu Qing then shouted, running through the same door. 

that Xie Lian ran out of. But to his surprise he didn't come out into the front yard, where he walked in and entered the house for the first time, no, this time he came out into a forest. The grass had grown incredibly tall, the trees were so tall that Mu Qing couldn't even see the sky. The canopy of leaves almost filthy the sun. Mu Qing looked around, confused, and turned to face the house. The house looked completely different too. As if the house were incredibly old, it was overgrown with tendrils. The house was still painted pink, but it just looked so many years older. Mu Qing turned away thoughtfully. 

If he wants to get out of Wonderland, he really has to hurry to get out of here. He must pursue Xie Lian further. Den Xie Lian will lead him to the exit. So he had no time at all to think about whether the house had changed or not, he had to get out of here! Without thinking further, Mu Qing wandered through the forest, no longer turning to the house. It was a miracle for Mu Qing that he got through the forest so well with throat treasures. The trees were anything but normal, tendrils were falling down, the trees were twisted, roots poking out of the ground, the grass was somewhat dry, while Mu Qing couldn't even see his legs while he was walking through the tall grass. It was really a miracle for him when he finally got out of the tall grass and he was still clean. Then he looked at his legs with relief. His white overknees are still clean!

When he looked up, he noticed that many mushrooms were growing around him. Some were small while others were as tall as he was, maybe even taller. Some grew out of the trees, each mushroom was incredibly colorful. If Mu Qing didn't already know that he was in Wonderland and everything had a strange mix of colors and had an effect, he would say that these are toxic. He went ahead with caution and then ran on. Mu Qing wasn't surprised to find someone sitting on one of the giant mushrooms. 

If Mu Qing remembers correctly, this would have to be the caterpillar that sat on the mushroom and smoked calmly. Once again, Mu Qing had the feeling that his eyes would fly out of his head. If this continues, Mu Qing will really end up going crazy here before he makes it out of Wonderland. Said caterpillar sat on a purple green mushroom while it sat casually and smoked. Mu Qing was silent for a few seconds before carefully opening his mouth. 

,,He Xuan?" He asked carefully, while he drew the person's attention to himself. 

He Xuan sat calmly on the huge mushroom and looked at Mu Qing with a raised brow. 

,,Alice", came from him monotonous. 

Mu Qing frowned, did he just call him Alice? Did he know him? 

,,You must be Alice", he said calmly. 

He looked at him confused. Why did he call him Alice? So he already knew that he was in Alice in Wonderland, but still. He hadn't even introduced himself as Alice anywhere Then he asked hesitantly. 

,,How do you know my name?" 

,,It's on your apron", he said and then pointed to Mu Qing's apron. Surprised, he looked down and lifted the apron a little. 

In fact, the name Alice was finely sewn into his apron at the end. Mu Qing rolled with the Eyes. He's Alice. 

,,Yes, I'm Alice", said Mu Qing then, crossing his arms over his chest while He Xuan cocked his head, but said nothing more. 

Instead he put his pipe back in his mouth and pulled hard. Shortly thereafter, he exhaled a white smoke, whereupon Mu Qing grimaced when he accidentally inhaled the strange smell. It smelled disgustingly sweet and yet somehow bitter. Therefore, Mu Qing took a few steps back to get less of the smoke. He Xuan glanced at him briefly, but then turned away again, bored. Sometimes Mu Qing really wondered how people could just smoke. However, he did not say these thoughts out loud. He Xuan turned his gaze back to Mu Qing. They just looked each other in the eye for a while before He pulled Xuan off the pipe again. Again, there was just a strange silence before Mu Qing rolled his eyes. 

,,Are you done staring?", Asked Mu Qing annoyed.

He Xuan shrugged his shoulders calmly. Mu Qing took a closer look at He Xuan. He Xuan wore a black suit that went up to the middle of his waist in the front and longer to his knees in the back. On the left side there were checked patterns that are getting bigger and bigger. Mu Qing saw flawless, clean, light blue trousers on He Xuan, which also had an embroidered pattern at the ends. His immaculately clean black shoes that reached just above the ankle had a bow on the sides. He Xuan wore a small hat on the right side of his head, it was so small that it was more of a bobby pin with a strange veil hanging from it and something covering his hair. 

His hair was made in a loose braid that hung loosely over his shoulder. His black pipe, which he held in his hand, was also well decorated. He wore clean black gloves. Under his eyes was a blue eyeliner, while under his left eye there was a purple drop that looked like a falling tear. By and large, he was unusual. In addition, he had strange antennae on his head and behind his back a strange body grew almost like that of a caterpillar. Mu Qing didn't know what bothered him more, that He Xuan was a chain smoker or because feelers grew out of his head.

But what did he expect from this place?

,,You look like you've lost your way", He Xuan said, as always with an expressionless expression.

 Mu Qing rolled his eyes. Mu Qing replied poisonously. He Xuan ignored this comment. Now he had caught He Xuan's curiosity. 

,,The rabbit?", He asked. 

Mu Qing rolled his eyes. 

,,Yes, I'm looking for him, do you know where I can find him? I want to go back to the human world. To the world in which I belong!", Mu Qing said. Then Mu Qing added with a firm voice: "I also have to figure out how to get back to my normal size!" 

He Xuan looked him up and down, when he pulled his pipe again, Mu Qing really believed He Xuan That didn't even matter. Mu Qing wanted to turn around and leave because it was pointless to talk to him if he wasn't even listening properly. He Xuan finally opened his mouth again before Mu Qing said goodbye. 

,,Your size again It is not impossible to attain", He Xuan began slowly. 

Mu Qing pricked up his ears and now looked at him with a raised brow. He Xuan pointed to the table he was sitting on. 

,,This mushroom can make you grow and shrink. Eat the left side and you grow, if you eat the right you get smaller",explained He Xuan, tapping the mushroom with his pipe.

,,Not many try it. You can still try", He Xuan said calmly. 

Actually, Mu Qing wanted to tear his pipe away from him. It's slowly getting on his nerves. But he just wanted to get this over with. He really doesn't feel like discussing any further. Mu Qing hesitantly approached and then looked at the mushroom. That's right, in the story Alice more or less had a fail with this thing. But Mu Qing tried anyway. He approached the mushroom cautiously. 

,,I just have to bite off. Depending on the amount, I will grow or does it matter how much I eat?", Mu Qing asked for the sake of security. 

But He Xuan was no longer interested in Mu Qing, which made him roll his eyes in annoyance. Without thinking any further Mu Qing took a bite of the mushroom. With quick bites he swallowed it quickly. It tasted strange, but he didn't care much about it. Shortly afterwards his body changed again. It grew. Mu Qing was startled when he became huge and almost hit the treetops with his head. The question of whether there was a lot was then also cleared up. He really wanted to kick the tree that was next to him, but he quickly calmed down by looking at He Xuan again who looked at him from below. 

,,Great, I didn't want to be that tall", said Mu Qing, rolling his eyes and kneeling down to talk to He Xuan better, otherwise he wouldn't hear him.

 He got on his knees and leaned forward to He Xuan, who was still looking at him disinterestedly while he had the pipe in his mouth. 

,,You are a giant", He Xuan then said, puffing thick smoke into Mu Qing's face, who only screwed up his eyes and held his breath. 

,,And you stink", he said in disgust. 

Without further discussion, Mu Qing took a piece of the other side of the mushroom and ate it. After that, Mu Qing was allowed to adjust to being tiny. This time he was so small that he couldn't even reach the mushroom. He looked up at He Xuan in silence. Black lines adorned his otherwise pale face. This time Mu Qing's face looks so pale that it was almost transparent. Mu Qing fell to his knees, feeling depressed. That can not be true. He Xuan sighed at him while he looked at him pitifully before he got an idea. He tore off a piece of the mushroom from both sides, jumped off the mushroom and held the pieces out to him. Silently, Mu Qing took it and put them both in his mouth. Without really chewing it, he swallowed it quickly. 

A few seconds later his body changed and he mushroomed that big again. He was now as tall as He Xuan, maybe a little shorter, but about the same eye level. Surprised, Mu Qing felt his body briefly to see whether everything was really normal or whether the fungus was showing any strange side effects. But nothing of the kind was to be found, which leaves him sighing with relief. 

,,Thank you", he managed quietly, while He Xuan nodded and pulled his pipe again. 

,,I couldn't bring you back to your correct size, but I think you'll find a way to get out of here", He Xuan said calmly. 

,,You really take everything calmly", replied Mu Qing, rolling his eyes. 

His opposite shrugged his shoulders. 

,,I've seen enough. I'm not interested in what a person does here in Wonderland", he just explained as he exhaled another puff of smoke. Short silence. 

Mu Qing waited patiently for He Xuan to continue speaking, as he looked as if he wanted to add something, who calmly pulled the pipe again, as if he had all the time in the world. Which he probably really had. Time wasn't a special thing for him, he probably didn't really know it. 

,,If you really want to leave this place, you first have to find your way to the mad hatter. Or you can find the rabbit you are looking for, it can also lead you out of here. This can then lead you to the actual exit of Wonderland, which is in the garden of the Heart Palace. Where exactly I can't tell you exactly, but as far as I know only the crazy hatter and the rabbit were the only ones who ever entered and found the exit into the human world. Besides, the mad hatter was human too", said He Xuan and took off his pipe again. 

Mu Qing thought about his words thoughtfully.

,,Thank you. Than I will go now. I really want to go back", Mu Qing said then. 

Mu Qing then set off while waving goodbye to He Xuan before continuing. All he saw was He Xuan nodding at him, while he briefly raised his hand while he took another drag on his pipe. If he kept smoking like this, he will definitely become a pipe himself. Mu Qing didn't know which way it was going, so he just trusted his feelings. He went on without thinking. He just followed his instinct, which was apparently correct. He came to a clearing where there was a huge tree, this one had very noticeable features. You could know that this tree was really old, had a light purple and greenish tinge. The leaves had a strange silver sheen. Many different signs hung on this tree, each pointing in one direction. 

Mu Qing looked at the signs curiously, but could not read the writing. There were some signs to him that didn't make sense. He studied these signs for a while, but no matter how long he stared at it, he couldn't understand it at all. He didn't know how long he'd been trying to study these signs, but it felt like forever. 

,,Hoho", he suddenly heard above himself. He jumped in surprise. 

Wait a minute, which part was that again? Mu Qing was cursing himself that he didn't know his own favorite story so well anymore. He liked it so much as a child When he turned in a circle and saw no one, he remembered. But by then this strange voice had already started to speak again. 

,,What is a beautiful lady like you doing here?", asked this voice, amused, this time if Mu Qing had heard it exactly, he knew this time where it really came from. He was about to run away again. 

Sprint away as fast as possible now that he still has a chance to escape. He knew that voice! Please not him. You're welcome! His gaze shot up and his face went pale again. Again, Mu Qing felt the need to fall on his knees, humiliated, and question his happiness. Why Pei Ming the shitty grinning cat !? Pei Ming lay serenely on the thick branch, propping his face with his arm. He was lying a little on his side, his leg propped up against the wood, and looked calmly down at Mu Qing. 

,,I rarely see such a beauty here in Wonderland. May I ask for your name?", He grinned wider. 

Mu Qing was about to faint. Is this womanizer flirting with him right now ?!

,,I'm looking for the way out of Wonderland!", Mu Qing replied this time without looking at his other To answer questions. 

It is better that way. Pei Ming looked down at Mu Qing with an amused grin. 

,,So you want to go back to your world?", Asked Pei Ming curiously. 

Pei Ming also wore a suit typical of this Wonderland. He wasn't wearing a jacket, but a black suit vest over his white blouse. His black and white lined pants were a little loose on him. His brown boots made it all look fabulous. Silver chains were attached to the vest. On his head there were purple-striped cat ears and a purple-striped tail. He wore no jewelry on his head, but there were black lines on his eyes that were drawn over his eyes that went down to his cheekbones. When Pei Ming grinned, you could see the sharp fangs flashing. If Xuan Ji were here, she would attack him immediately, but luckily, Mu Qing is not Xuan Ji. 

,,So you want to find a way out of here. Hoho, that's a shame. After all, there aren't many active beings in this country", said Pei Ming, amused. 

But Mu Qing rolled his eyes again. He's got nerves. He's just as exhausting as the real Pei Ming. 

,,I got the tip from the caterpillar to visit a certain hat maker. Do you know where I can find him? ", Mu Qing then asked. 

He had to get out of here quickly. Pei Ming's grin only increased. He had taken a close look at Mu Qing, beautiful pale skin, attractive obsidian black eyes, the unbelievable exuded cold and were very expressive at the same time. Slightly pink lips, long black hair that got a beautiful blue tint under the light. The blue dress with the white apron around his waist accentuated his slim figure perfectly. The overknees up to his Kneeling made his legs look slim. Then those throat heels. The cherry on the cream for Pei Ming, however, was the beautiful bow on his head. Like a present waiting to be opened. Yes, the more he looked at Mu Qing, the more active And he found him more beautiful. 

It was better than any treasure in the world when he heard that this person had a wonderful voice that was just as fitting. Every word he said sounded like an enchanting melody, which at the same time could be as poisonous as the bite of a snake. Pei Ming was really fascinated by Mu Qing's beauty and performance. He straightened up and then jumped off his branch. He landed lightly on his feet in front of Mu Qing, who took two steps backwards in surprise. 

,,I'll show you the way to the hatter if this beauty reveals his name to me", Pei Ming smiled playfully at Mu Qing, who just rolled his eyes in disgust. 

Was he trying to flirt with Mu Qing? just walk past him and look for himself, but he also knew that the Cheshire Cat could lead him the right way. After all, the cat had also led Alice to the hatter. If Mu Qing remembers correctly, this forest is like a labyrinth. 

Mu Qing twisted again his eyes before he opened his mouth again: ,,Alice. Alice, my name", Mu Qing then introduced himself like that. 

,,So Alice", Pei Ming smiled charmingly. 

,,If you want to find the crazy hatter you just have to go in that direction", Pei Ming answered and pointed in a direction that is thickly overgrown with leaves and bushes. 

Without looking at Pei Ming again, Mu Qing started walking. "Hey do you just go without saying goodbye?" Pei Ming pouted behind her. But Mu Qing hurried up and almost ran down the path. He really had no other nerves for this man! He had to come from this wonderland for that Because the mad hatter, according to He Xuan, also knows how to get out of this place. 

If he doesn't swap he has to go further this way. If Mu Qing wants to get out of here, he has to keep walking here, find the mad hatter or find the rabbit, Xie Lian. To do this, if he remembers correctly, he later has to go to the Queen of Hearts and play a round of croquet there. If he remembered correctly, he had to go to the mad hatter one way or another beforehand. Actually, Mu Qing had expected it to be more difficult to get to the hatter. In fact, this path was actually easier to walk than he thought. He actually thought that he would have a hard time walking through these bushes that look like they would be a thousand tripping hazards, instead it was incredibly easy to come through as if they would make room by themselves. The path was not so well lit, but he could still see a lot. Soon after, Mu Qing heard strange music. It sounded like celebrating something from afar. 

Then it has to be right. As he got closer and closer, he saw a crazy colorful house, there was a table in the garden, three figures sat around it. Mu Qing slowly approached them who were talking about something. Mu Qing knew they were having a tea party. One person appeared to be asleep, which surprised Mu Qing when he recognized Yin Yu, who was sleeping up while Quan Yi Zhen was talking excitedly to someone. When Mu Qing recognized the third person, he fell down almost in surprise. The person seemed to notice him and turned around in surprise when Mu Qing was already looking at him in surprise. He couldn't utter a single sound.

Feng Xin!?
