Zhong Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly, "New, Happy New Year... Where have you been? No, what's in the yard?"
Adrian took off his coat and said, "Don't you know it? The Giant Interstellar Rabbit. It's because you have kept saying that you like the Giant Interstellar Rabbit for so many years."
"Of course I can recognize it!" Zhong Yan said, he didn't even care that Adrian threw the clothes on the back of the chair by the dining table, "Is this... a holographic projection?"
Adrian said, "You'll know by touching it yourself. Come."
Dazed, Zhong Yan followed him out of the back door, passed through the row of trees, stopped in front of the huge ball of white hair and looked up at it.
Adrian put one hand in his pocket, stood behind him and said, "Touch and try."
Zhong Yan put his hand on the thick white fur of the rabbit's leg, it was soft and warm.
His force was too light, the lop-eared rabbit didn't pay attention to him, but it seemed to have finished observing the environment, and it suddenly fell down. Zhong Yan was startled, retracted his hand and took two steps back, bumping into him On Adrian behind him, Adrian held his shoulders.
"Have you touched it? Is it a projection?" he asked.
"No... it's alive." Zhong Yan's mind was filled with questions for a moment, he turned around and looked at Adrian without being able to speak for a while, and finally picked one out and asked, "Why do you... How do you have a giant interstellar rabbit?"
"Didn't you say you'd cook me dinner?"
Some bad premonitions rose in Zhong Yan's heart, and as expected, Adrian continued: "Braise it in red."
"Can't eat!" Zhong Yan said urgently. He carefully looked at Adrian's expression, trying to see if Adrian was joking. The distance hit half of his face, and the dim light softened his original sharp facial features. Under the night wind, his silver eyes looked mysterious and unfathomably handsome.
Zhong Yan's heart skipped a beat, his favorite interstellar giant rabbit was behind him, this was the first time in his life that he was so close to the interstellar giant rabbit, but at this moment, he didn't want to turn around to look at it at all.
There were scenes before him that caught his eye and attention more than that.
Adrian said: "Didn't you take out all the knives? Shall I help you?"
Zhong Yan came back to his senses, only to realize that the kitchen knife was still in his hand, he couldn't explain it, "This is not for... I heard the movement just now, and thought it was an enemy attack..."
He hastily explained a few words, and seeing Adrian's normal expression, he finally came to his senses and said hesitantly, "You were joking just now, right?"
"Who has time to joke with you," Adrian said.
"I've already prepared dinner. There are a lot of dishes, and I can eat it after heating it up!" Zhong Yan tried his best to persuade him to give up, "I'm very tired now, and I can't do anything."
Adrian said lightly: "Then eat tomorrow, oh, it's already past twelve o'clock, and eat at dawn. Let's go back to the house."
"Ah... just, did you go back?" Zhong Yan asked, "What about the rabbit?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to feed something? I don't know if it's hungry. It's so small, it's still a cub, right
"It's a cub." Adrian replied, "I just fed something on the way back. Besides, it's normal for this kind of rabbit not to eat for ten days and a half months. Didn't you tell me that before?"
Zhong Yan asked in great confusion: "...feed it on the way? Where did this interstellar giant rabbit come from?"
"You don't care where it came from."
"You didn't just catch one from somewhere, did you?" Zhong Yan looked at him suspiciously, "You can't catch wild giant interstellar rabbits. This kind of behavior is considered poaching, and the "Law on Prohibiting Hunting of Giant Interstellar Rabbits" has regulations. Drafted it myself."
Adrian smiled provocatively, and said, "Welcome to the extrajudicial area, Congressman."
"Although the current situation is like this..." Zhong Yan reluctantly said, "But after all, you have not split from the Federation. This law that applies to the entire Federation also includes Na'vi. There are many procedures to go through for private breeding of giant interstellar rabbits. Certificate."
When he said this, it suddenly occurred to him that Adrian actually met the conditions for private breeding.
The giant interstellar rabbit is a mutant rabbit. Hundreds of years ago, a scientific research spacecraft crashed. The search and rescue personnel rescued the scientific research personnel and most of the animals and plants, but left behind several different kinds of experimental rabbits in the corner of the spacecraft. They produced mysterious mutations in the universe. , coupled with its super reproductive ability, survived as a new species. Adult interstellar giant rabbits generally have a body length of up to 20 meters, and there are slight differences between different species. They usually float in the universe, and they can also survive on the surface of the planet. They are docile and non-aggressive.
In the universe, such a body is actually so small that it can be ignored, but it will appear huge on land. Moreover, as space terrestrial amphibians, most of the giant interstellar rabbits floating in space will enter the atmosphere for a while to wander for a while. Rabbits, and even became a famous tourist attraction. In the same way, the giant interstellar rabbits living on land, such as the rabbits in some giant interstellar rabbit research institutions, in order to keep healthy, the researchers will drive the spaceship to take them for a walk in space from time to time.
That is to say, regardless of the time, energy and professional knowledge of taking care of rabbits, if you want to raise a giant interstellar rabbit, you first need a venue that can accommodate a giant rabbit with a length of 20 meters, and you must also have a large private spaceship.
Such harsh hardware conditions directly filter out all ordinary people, leaving only the rich. However, the interstellar giant rabbit does not have any special abilities except that it is big enough, can overcome gravity independently, and can survive in space. The purchase is a huge sum of money, and the procedures are many and cumbersome. Few people with money are interested in them enough to be willing to make such a fuss. There are very few people in the Federation who privately raise giant interstellar rabbits. The only famous one is a female rich man. Even Adrian, who has no interest in giant interstellar rabbits, knows this because Zhong Yan followed her social account before. , Refreshing her homepage every day just to see if she posted rabbits.
The hardware conditions, Adrian is up to the standard, and Zhong Yan has passed the interstellar giant rabbit breeding qualification certificate seven years ago. With his current position, in fact, he only needs to say hello if he wants to go through the procedures. If the materials are all right , it will be done soon, but unfortunately, the only problem is that the source of this rabbit seems to be illegal.
"How can you catch rabbits? If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation and image." Zhong Yan said worriedly, "Did anyone see it?"
The corner of Adrian's mouth twitched, "I didn't catch it, don't worry about it."
"Someone caught it for you? Is it some gray entertainment?"
Adrian was noncommittal about the guess.
The more Zhong Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Giant interstellar rabbits with lop ears are very rare. Maybe Adrian attended some private invitation today. The owner gave Adrian this rabbit in order to get closer. Reasonable... just not legal.
Zhong Yan said worryingly: "Then I have to raise it secretly. Fortunately, there are no people in this area. I also need to build a nest and tie a rope. Such a small lop-eared rabbit, what if it slips out by itself? Navi Star There are everyone in the district, it's too dangerous."
Adrian said indifferently: "I'm in a hurry to destroy the corpse, who said I'm going to raise it?"
The snow-white lop-eared giant rabbit had been lying quietly beside them, but for some reason, it suddenly came over and rubbed against the two humans standing next to it.
Its soft and furry ears rubbed against the two of them, Zhong Yan couldn't tell it was wearing white home clothes, and there were a few conspicuous long white hairs on Adrian's black clothes.
Adrian: "…"
The young rabbit looked at them with wide red eyes, looking innocent and wronged, Zhong Yan's heart melted, and he couldn't let go of touching the hanging rabbit ears, "So good, this is a good family!"
It's been a long time since Zhong Yan looked so happy. The man doesn't smile very often, but he's really pretty when he smiles. Adrian turned on the camera function of the terminal calmly. Of course, later when he looked through the photos himself, he found that Zhong Yan was taking a photo at night, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and touching a rabbit with the other, with half of his side face showing a smile, which looked very strange, like some dark fairy tale Movie promotional photos.
Until they entered the house, Zhong Yan seemed more excited than usual, and he was still telling Adrian about the habits of the giant interstellar rabbit when the dishes were hot, and he barely stopped until they started eating.
The dishes are really rich and overcooked. Adrian was a little surprised when he saw the whole table of dishes. Even if he didn't know how to cook, he knew that such a table would take a long time to finish. Seeing Adrian picking up the fork and looking at the table without moving, Zhong Yan was suddenly worried that he was still thinking about rabbit meat.
"Tomorrow I'll buy rabbit meat from the supermarket and bring it back to cook in soy sauce, okay?" Zhong Yan hesitated again and again, "The supermarket sells specially farmed meat rabbits, which are much tastier than wild rabbits."
Adrian said: "You say it's delicious, but it's written all over your face that you don't want to do it."
"I don't eat rabbit meat." Zhong Yan whispered aggrievedly, "Didn't you not like to eat it before?"
"I love to eat rabbit now." Adrian moved the fork, "But don't buy it, you have never cooked rabbit meat, it will definitely not taste good."
Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again. Anyway, Adrian brought back a rabbit, before midnight.
He knew it couldn't be a pure coincidence, anyway, Adrian had brought it back in part because he lived here.
No matter how much this reason accounts for, as long as it is not zero, it is enough to satisfy Zhong Yan.
