Volume 3 Chapter 1 A Difficult Decision

  The rabbit wrinkled its brow, stretched out a pair of fluffy little paws and gestured, then said: "Undo the bandage and let me take a look."

  Round and round, as the white gauze stained with blood slowly fell to the ground, a delicate white hand emerged, but the two shocking bloodstains on the palm made people's tears fall.

  Xin Yue tilted her head away, tightly closing her eyes. Those beautiful eyelashes seemed to bear countless sufferings, and they trembled with a slight quiver.

  The rabbit shook its head and suddenly tapped on the palm of a small hand.

  "Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Xiang Yue groaned and withdrew her hand, but the rabbit grabbed it back again. All she could hear was its serious tone saying: "Close your eyes quickly, don't move your hand, I'll take a look for you!"

  Xin Yue nodded, and did as she was told, with two large teardrops still hanging from the corners of her eyes, shining brightly in the soft light.

  The rabbit stretched out its fluffy little paws and grasped Xiangyue's pale white hands, then...

  "Hehe! So itchy, so itchy!"

  All she felt was a wet, soft thing rubbing against her palm, and instinctively wanted to withdraw her small hand, but unfortunately, the rabbit's paws were small but powerful, no matter how hard the little beauty tried, she couldn't shake it off, and could only watch as the rabbit enjoyed itself, stretching out its red tongue to lick her hand back and forth.

  Soft and smooth, a little itchy, hehe, actually quite comfortable too...

  Suddenly...

  The rabbit let go of its paws, sorry, it was a loose claw, and the pleasant foot slipped out from under it, instantly tumbling into a big somersault.

  Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

  Dead rabbit, don't you know how to cherish and pity the fragrant jade?

  Xīn yuè rubbed her sore little butt, one hand casually propped on the ground, and sat up.

  Wait! Why doesn't it hurt at all?

  Xīn yuè jiǎ jiǎ yǎn jing, tān kāi shǒu ér yī kàn, tiān a! Bái bái de, nèn nèn de, xiàng bō kāi pí de liú zhi yì bān, lián gè zhòu wén dōu méi yǒu, gèng bié shuō shén me shāng hén le!

  It's just that...

  Her hands were as smooth as ice and snow, but they were covered in sticky saliva, forming a string that hung loosely in mid-air.

  "Bring it here!" The rabbit licked its tongue and said with a hint of pride.

  Although the hand was covered with saliva and smelled bad, after weighing the pros and cons, Xiangyue still gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and obediently stretched out the other hand wrapped like a rice ball.

  The rabbit's mouth was curled up, its eyes narrowed into a slit, and it stuck out its tongue in apparent delight.

  "Do you want to change back?" the rabbit asked suddenly.

  Xīn Yuè immediately replied without hesitation: "I want to! I've always wanted to!"

  Silence...

  All I could hear was the rabbit sticking out its tongue and drooling.

  Xīn yuè tightly tense, didn't dare to breathe out, heart beating wildly. Is it that easy? Will the rabbit turn itself back? And...

  At that moment, Xinyue looked at her own white and tender hands, the long and slender legs under her pleated skirt, and suddenly thought of Qingchi's cool face, as well as Yongji, Yudu, and Zhimeng.

  Xīn yuè hesitated for the first time and changed back... Is it really okay?

  The rabbit suddenly spoke up: "Oh dear, being sealed for 500 years has weakened my magic, but I can still heal your wounds a bit, little girl. Well, goodbye! I'm off!"

  "Don't go!" Xinyue cried out in a hurry.

  "What's up? Oh, don't mention it!" The rabbit, who had already slipped to the window, turned its head and showed off its two big front teeth, smiling strangely.

  "Turn me back! I...I don't want to be a girl forever!" Xiangyue said, almost in tears.

  "This is it, your friend doesn't think so! It's hard to deal with... Hehe, actually you're quite obedient as a girl! Let's talk about this later! Don't always quarrel and want to change when you see me, like a debt collector, annoying! If you continue like this, I won't come again..." The rabbit said, jumping out of the window.

  "Alright, alright! I'll listen to you, just remember to...". Little beauty almost became a debt collector again this time.

  The rabbit stood outside the window, suddenly turned its head, drooping its two long ears, and said fiercely: "There's one more thing I didn't tell you, actually exchanging back is no problem. It's just that..."

  "What's going on?" Xinyue asked tensely, her fingers tightly clenched together.

  "But you, and Yeon Cheong-chi's memories of each other will all be erased! In other words, you'll become complete strangers who don't know each other. Don't look at me with that gaze, it's a side effect of the magic, not something I did on purpose! So think carefully about it later, and then come find me!"

  The rabbit finished speaking and disappeared in a flash without leaving any trace.

  Xīn yuè was stunned, and in her mind, she kept replaying the rabbit's words over and over again.

  All memories will be erased...

  Become strangers who don't know each other...

  Suddenly, the door creaked open and my sister Enqi burst in with a mischievous grin, asking: "Who were you just talking to?"

  "No, not with anyone!" Xīnyuè was startled and quickly replied: "I'm reciting lines. Hehe, they want me to participate in the play 'Snow White'." Hehe, little beauty's brain is quite quick.

  "Hehe, my beautiful sister must be playing Snow White, right?" En Qi rushed over and swept Xiang Yue into his arms, spinning around the room.

  "Oh no! Let me go! I'm dizzy......" Xiang Yue didn't know what was wrong, but as soon as her sister came over and got close to her, her face inexplicably flushed with fever, and her heart started racing "thump thump".

  Enqi hugged Xinyue and they both fell onto the bed together.

  Xin Yue quickly sat up and turned her head to catch her breath.

  Enqi lay there, staring at Xiangyue with a deadpan expression, and said with a smile: "I find that you're getting more and more abnormal! But I couldn't tell what's changed about you... Could it be that your brain is waterlogged?"

  Xīn yuè yí jīng! Yǎn shì dào: "Dà jīng xiǎo guài! Rén jiā xiǎng zuò gè shū nǚ ma! Dāng rán yào zhù yì zì jǐ de yán xíng le! Nǐ nǎo zi cái jìn shuǐ le ne! Fàng zhe nà me hǎo de chéng zhēn dà gē bù yào, què xuǎn yī gè xiǎo bái liǎn...

  "Come, lie down!" En Qi got up and pulled Xiang Yue down to lie together with him, face to face, the warm air filled with fragrance rushed towards them...

  "Hey, what do you think of Cheng Zhen? What's good about him? He's so old-fashioned and boring! Haha..."

  Xīn Yuè subconsciously shifted her body outward and said: "It's just fun, but useless! You have to know how to take care of yourself!"

  "What's wrong with them? They all know how to take care of me!"

  "I don't think so? When a man chases after a girl, he will use all his tricks, you have to distinguish between true and false, most people are not sincere!"

  "How did you know that Cheng Zhen is sincere?"

  "Cough, men looking at men... ...and women looking at men are different! It's just a matter of perspective. I'm also an onlooker, haha..."

  "You think you're so clever, don't you? You think I don't understand the tactic of 'luring in by pretending to let go'? Humph, I'm going to make him fall head over heels for me!"

  "Sister, Zhenzhen Ge has gone mad! Just show some mercy!"

  "Haha, looks like you've been bought off by him! I'll have to be more careful what I say from now on! Goodnight!" En Qi sprang up and rushed out like a whirlwind.

  Xīn Yuè was lying in bed, her mind a jumbled mess. If they were to switch bodies and lose their memories... everything she and Qing Chi had been through would be gone. It would all disappear like fleeting clouds, leaving nothing behind. Like a brilliant shooting star, it would streak across the sky with a faint trail of light, coming quietly and going silently, leaving no trace.

  Xin Yue leaned to one side, holding a small plush bear in her arms, and gently closed her eyes. However, her mind was still chaotic, thinking about their identities, their feelings for each other, and which one was more important?

  It's obvious it should be the latter, but if so...

  Night...

  Deeper...

  A serene and peaceful atmosphere filled the small cottage, where silver moonlight poured in through the window gaps, shining on the delicate face of a beautiful girl. A crystal clear tear quietly flowed down, reflecting the rippling moonlight, leaving behind a faint trail of tears.
