Wang Jiexiang returned to Little Rabbit Island.

At the end of this long journey in another world, she felt at a loss and exhausted physically and mentally.

Not yet respite from the last scene in her hometown, she sat blankly, surrounded by dead silence.

bow...

The white rabbit lay on all fours beside her.

It's small, with its eyes closed, and skinny.

With a dry nose and no ups and downs in the chest, a few flies that came to eat its corpse.

Nightmares come here from illusion, and the pain is not over yet.

The moon in the sky disappeared, and all the plants on the island withered. They were sitting in the open space that used to be the staff dormitory, and the street lights she could see were all broken.

The tears that were finally suppressed flowed down again, Wang Jiexiang threw away the two keys in his hand, and picked up the motionless rabbit.

"Mom is gone."

"Yin Xian is gone."

She burst into tears, whimpering and shouting in her throat, and great sadness hit her heart.

The hot tears didn't have time to wipe away, and all fell on the rabbit's tarnished fur.

Heartbreak.

remorse.

And powerlessness.

Many times we tell ourselves we can do it, even though we really can't.

At the age of fifteen, Wang Jiexiang lost her mother. At the age of eighteen, she went out to work alone. Once in the city, like a grain of sand flowing into the sea, there is no way forward and no way back. She lost her job, lost her only friend, and had no money to pay the rent. She knew Yin Xian at that time and followed him for five years.

She knew he had many flaws and they were not the right couple. However, when she was in the most difficult time, it was Yin Xian who accompanied her and gave her a home in the ruthless and cold steel forest.

Wang Jiexiang really wants Yin Xian to see that she can do it and admit that she can do it. She worked hard to grow up, straightening her chest over and over again, in order to stand in front of him one day and no longer be looked down upon by him.

It turns out she can't.

She was never ready to say goodbye.

She didn't help him, she hurt him.

Rabbit, dead rabbit.

In the dripping tears, he struggled to open his eyelids a little.

He looked at her who was crying, and he recognized the person in front of him in an instant, as if returning to the light.

"Fat."

His breath was weak and his throat was hoarse.

His voice was so far away that it was hard to hear.

He said, "I bought a rabbit."

Yin Xian always remembered that Wang Jiexiang wanted to raise rabbits.

One day after work, he met her on the flyover near his home.

The pet vendor had a big cage for rabbits, and Wang Jiexiang squatted in front of the cage to watch the rabbits.

The little girl is small, with soft yellow hair that has been permed and dyed, and looks very malnourished.

The cold wind blew past, and she shivered in the thick white scarf.

Her face was hidden behind a scarf, and she only showed a pair of smiling eyes.

When he got closer, he heard that Wang Jiexiang was squatting there, talking to the rabbit.

"Will you be cold?"

"Are you full?"

A cage of rabbits ignored her, and she continued to babble and ask some questions that could not be answered.

The boss's business is not good, and he is impatient to see her stay for a long time.

"Hey, if you really like it, buy one."

She shrank her neck into the scarf, stood up, and left the booth.

And then, one night they go home.

Wang Jiexiang stared at the dark grass, and suddenly pulled his sleeve excitedly.

He asked her what she was doing.

She made a "shh" movement, thinking that he was making too much noise.

Wang Jiexiang's expression was particularly happy, and there was a strange light in Yuan's eyes.

She approached him and whispered mysteriously in his ear: "There is a rabbit over there."

"No way," he subconsciously didn't believe it: "You are night blind, did you see it wrong?"

"That's right, it's a little white rabbit." She held him by the hand and forced him to look over.

Standing on tiptoe and stooping, Wang Jiexiang walked to the edge of the grass.

"Little rabbit, little rabbit, why don't you go home at night?"

She squeezed her voice and asked softly, not daring to disturb it at a distance.

"Is it injured?" Wang Jiexiang turned to look at him with a worried expression: "It won't move!"

"Come closer and have a look?" Yin Xian had already seen what it was, holding back a smile, wanting to watch her joke for a while longer.

After listening to him, she leaned over cautiously, and only when her hands were cautiously almost touching the "white rabbit" did she see clearly.

"Plastic bag?"

Wang Jiexiang was ashamed and annoyed: "Who, you really have no sense of public morality, throwing rubbish in the grass."

"Who? The plastic bag can be regarded as a rabbit. It's just you."

Yin Xian didn't save face for her, he laughed and made fun of her vigorously.

She left angrily and didn't talk to him all night.

The next day, he mentioned it casually.

"Raise a rabbit."

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiexiang disagreed.

"Can't."

She objected gravely, and with good reason.

"It's hard for both of us to work and earn money to support ourselves. How can we raise a rabbit. No one is at home, and no one takes care of it. It will be starved and locked in a cage. How pitiful."

He didn't say anything more.

Later, when the company held an event, some low-value gifts were rejected by customers, so he took them home.

Wang Jiexiang dug out a rabbit-shaped keychain from the pile of junk gifts.

She was so happy that she held the keychain in both hands and walked around their rental house.

He annoyed her to death and told her not to turn.

Instead, she pulled him up and circled together.

"Yin Xian Yin Xian," shaking his hand, she seemed to get the sweetest candy in the world, and her tone of voice was like a child's joy: "When you make money, make a lot of money, shall we raise a rabbit?"

What did he say at this time

Seems to be…

"Wake up!"

One hand violently rubbed his face, played with his ears, pulled out his beard, and rubbed all over his body.

"Wake up, wake up."

Noise and harassment came together, Yin Xian couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to open his eyes.

After a short period of dizziness, the eyes slowly came into focus.

He saw himself lying in his rabbit's nest, the furnishings in the room somehow messed up.

"Are you awake?"

Following the sound, Yin Xian looked towards the roof of the rabbit's nest.

A big human face appeared there—the eyes were bloodshot, and Wang Jiexiang, who was holding his chin, looked at him expressionlessly.

"What about the roof?"

He found that his voice was no longer weak as it was before he passed out, but had returned to normal.

"I was slapped and flew away," she said solemnly and strangely: "I found that there is no roof, I can observe you, it works very well, so I didn't install it for you."

Yin Xian has no time to care about the roof for the time being, he is more curious about his resurrection.

"How did you save me? I thought I was going to die."

"...rescue?"

His choice of words puzzled her slightly.

"It's a long story. However, it doesn't count as me saving you. You wouldn't die in the first place."

The two first recounted Yin Rabbit's experience of escaping death.

Like the previous few houses, Wang Jiexiang and the rabbit entered the house together, as long as she went to another world, he would be trapped in the house for as long as possible. Wang Jiexiang would be sleepy and hungry in another world, and so would Yin Xian. The difference is that she had the opportunity to eat and sleep in another world, but when Yin Xian was trapped, she faced endless darkness.

He realizes that this house is not the same as before, and that it took her an unusually long time to clear the level.

Exhausted, exhausted, he kept walking, and the end of the darkness was still darkness.

In the end, he couldn't wait for Wang Jiexiang to come out, he was starved and fainted.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, he heard her crying until she was dying, and heard her calling him.

A force outside his body occupied Yin Xian's voice. He was like an oil lamp that had been burned to the last drop. When he finished speaking, he felt his life burn out.

"I thought you were dead too. In fact, you were so dead that the flies were coming."

Wang Jiexiang rubbed her nose, and added: "Isn't it better to cry so fast! I cried because I was frightened by your terrible corpse. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel guilty because you died."

According to Wang Jiexiang's narration.

Back on Little Rabbit Island, she was frightened and cried by the horror of the rabbit's corpse. He speaks suddenly, making her realize that he still has a chance to save the day. Wang Jiexiang took the rabbit and strolled around Little Rabbit Island calmly.

All the plants on the island were dead, and only one street lamp was left, the one next to Fat House. She followed the light to his rabbit's nest.

"Your house is too small, I can't go in, I don't know where to put you, so I shot the roof off."

Yin Xian interrupted her: "According to your statement, is everything on Little Rabbit Island related to my life? If a light is not broken, it means that I have a chance of life? So I have a chance to be resurrected?"

"Yes, not all."

Wang Jiexiang squinted her eyes and lowered her voice.

"The point is, when I shot the roof, guess what I saw?"

"What?"

"I saw..."

Her hands touched his face.

"A new rabbit that looks exactly like you."

The new rabbit was lying on the cot in Fat House. When Wang Jiexiang lifted the roof, he sat up in shock and looked at her vigilantly.

Fluffy white hair, fat body, dull eyes, ears pricked up.

The eyeballs are black, with beautiful double eyelids, and the circle around the eyes is light yellow, like eye shadow.

"Who are you?"

He asked Wang Jiexiang.

He made a Yin Xian's voice that she was familiar with and was 100% unmistakable.

The strange direction of what Wang Jiexiang said made Yin Xian more and more confused the more he listened.

"How come... the same as me..."

"Did you drive that fake new rabbit away and let me go back to my house?"

Wang Jiexiang shook her head.

"After the new rabbit said those words, the last street light went out, and the whole Little Rabbit Island fell into darkness."

"I hurriedly protected you in my arms, but your body, just in my arms and in my arms, disappeared."

Yin Xian frowned: "Then I am now..."

"The next moment, my field of vision was filled with light again. Everything in Little Rabbit Island returned to its original appearance, like a light switch being turned on again. The street lights were intact, the plants were full of vitality, and the new rabbit was lying on the bed of Fat House with his eyes closed."

Her smile was cold: "So, now you are the new rabbit."
