Half an hour later, the door was repaired. Just as he had promised, as soon as the door was fixed, Lu Luochen couldn't wait to leave. He walked in a hurry, as if there were dogs chasing after him.
Seeing his hasty departure, Wen Sining sneered in disdain.
He was so eager to leave. He must have been impatient sitting there for so long. Yet he had to pretend to be worried about her. Ugh!
Wen Sining thought to herself.
She cooked some spaghetti, added her favorite special sauce, then plopped down on the floor with the plate in her hand. She watched TV while enjoying her meal.
The two little rabbits she had rescued were munching on green vegetable leaves in the makeshift box that served as their nest. Every now and then, they would hop in front of Wen Sining and gently paw at her skirt with their tiny paws.
Wen Sining adored these little rabbits. She casually scooped one up into her arms and stroked it while continuing to eat.
The two rabbits seemed to be just a month old. They were so small that she could hold them with one hand.
One was pure white, the other pure black. Standing together, they resembled the messengers of death in Chinese mythology. So Wen Sining named them - Big White and Little Black.
Big White and Little Black were so adorable that Wen Sining couldn't resist taking out her spare phone and snapping a series of photos. After carefully selecting the best ones, she posted them on her WeChat Moments.
"Let me introduce the new members of my family - Big White and Little Black. [9 pictures]"
Soon, her phone started to buzz with notifications. All her friends were liking and commenting on her post.
Qiao Xi: Wow, I didn't notice before. Big White is so beautiful! Sining, can you give Big White to me? [Star eyes]
Wen Sining: Hehe, no way.
Tang Na: They're so cute. Should we steam or braise them?
Wen Sining: [Shocked] Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat them!
Xiao Zhan: I remember you're allergic to cats. Rabbits shed a lot. Will it affect your health?
Wen Sining: Hehe, don't worry. I'm not allergic to rabbits.
Apart from these friends, many of her business associates also left likes and comments. Wen Sining politely replied with a simple "Thank you" to each one.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the buzzing finally stopped.
Wen Sining happily put down her phone, tossed the plate into the dishwasher, and was about to take a shower when her phone rang again. She picked it up and saw a new comment. The person who left the comment was - Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu: Ningning has rabbits now? They look as cute and well - behaved as Ningning.
Wen Sining bit her lip tightly. After a long while, she replied: Hehe, thank you, Grandpa. I'll bring Big White and Little Black to see you tomorrow. They don't look as good in photos. They're much cuter in person.
Grandpa Lu: Great! When will you come back, Ningning? Grandpa will have your favorite dishes prepared. What do Big White and Little Black like to eat? Grandpa will prepare some for them too.
Wen Sining: They eat anything. They're not picky eaters.
Wen Sining: Grandpa, it's getting late. You should go to bed.
Grandpa Lu: I'll go to bed right away. Ningning, remember to call Grandpa before you come back tomorrow.
With that, their conversation ended. Back at home, Lu Luochen also saw Wen Sining's post on WeChat Moments and naturally noticed the comments between Wen Sining and Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu never used any social media before. He would just make phone calls when he needed to communicate. It was only after Wen Sining came to the Lu family mansion that Grandpa Lu, worried about having a generation gap with the younger generation, asked someone to teach him how to use social media.
He only had two friends on it - Wen Sining and Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen originally intended to leave a comment but changed his mind after some thought. Instead, he silently saved all nine photos. Then he immediately called Jin Yihao.
Jin Yihao, who was in the middle of taking a shower, had to answer the phone with his head full of shampoo foam.
"Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"
"How do you raise rabbits?" Lu Luochen asked directly.
Jin Yihao: "???"
Excuse me? He was an assistant, not an animal expert. How was he supposed to know how to raise rabbits!
Jin Yihao complained in his heart but politely replied on the surface, "Sorry, Mr. Lu. I've never raised rabbits before. But I have a classmate whose family owns a pet store. Maybe she knows. I'll ask her right away."
"Okay. Get back to me as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Yihao didn't even have time to rinse the foam off his head. He quickly called his classmate and got a rabbit - raising manual from her, which he immediately sent to Lu Luochen.
After a while, Lu Luochen replied: Good job. Your bonus this month will be doubled.
Jin Yihao: "..."
He quickly asked his classmate for more information about raising rabbits!
After receiving the rabbit - raising manual, Lu Luochen skimmed through it briefly and then forwarded the file to Wen Sining.
Lu Luochen: Rabbit - raising Manual.PDF
Lu Luochen: I hope this manual will be helpful to you.
Since they still had work - related communication, Wen Sining still kept Lu Luochen's phone number and WeChat. However, they rarely used WeChat. The last message was the system - generated one when they first added each other as friends: "I'm Lu Luochen. We're friends now. Come and chat with me."
Wen Sining received the file with a complex expression. After briefly looking through the content, she found it really useful for a novice rabbit - raiser like her. So she slowly replied:
The manual is very useful. Thank you.
Lu Luochen: That's good. When will you come back tomorrow? Grandpa asked me to pick you up.
Wen Sining: No need. I'll drive back myself.
Lu Luochen: ... Then be careful on the road.
Wen Sining: Okay.
With that, their conversation ended.
...
The next day, Wen Sining got up early. She first went to the pet store to buy some supplies for Big White and Little Black. Then she happily installed their new nest and various toys in the living room. She also bought a large amount of snacks that rabbits could eat.
Finally, she took them back to the Lu family mansion.
"Madam, you're back." Uncle Bai greeted her with a big smile on his face. He took the things from Wen Sining's hands and lovingly looked at Big White and Little Black in her arms.
"These must be Big White and Little Black. They look so cute."
"Thank you, Uncle Bai. Where's Grandpa?" Wen Sining stroked the rabbits' heads and asked with a smile.
"Doctor Xiao is giving the old master acupuncture. Please wait a moment." Uncle Bai replied with a kind smile. Wen Sining was stunned for a moment and immediately asked.
"What's wrong with Grandpa? Why does Doctor Xiao need to give him acupuncture?"
"It's nothing serious. The old master has been having trouble sleeping recently. Doctor Xiao said it's due to the stagnation of qi in his chest. After a few days of acupuncture, he's almost recovered. This is the last session today."
Wen Sining pursed her lips.
She didn't even need to think to know why Grandpa Lu was feeling so down. It must have something to do with her and Lu Luochen.
Uncle Bai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He said with a kind smile, "Madam, don't think too much. The old master and I support all your decisions. By the way, the young master is also at home today. I'll go and call him."
