Chapter 53: He Does Like This Rabbit

Chapter 53: He Does Like This Rabbit

Officer Yi is momentarily stunned, completely caught off guard by Le Yan's use of the word 'mating'.

Who says it like that? What do you mean 'mating'...

Yi Yang doesn't react immediately, and Le Yan, unable to control himself due to his overwhelming discomfort, rubs his head vigorously against Yi Yang's neck, mumbling incoherently.

Right beside Yi Yang's ear, he still can't make out what the rabbit is murmuring. Lifting his hand, he steadies the restless head, his palm sliding down the back of the skull to gently massage the back of the neck.

He asks, "Le Yan, can you endure it?"

Logically speaking, enduring seems impossible...

Le Yan softly refuses, "I can't."

Yi Yang lifts the unsteady rabbit, carefully avoiding the swollen coccyx, and heads to the bathroom, only to find out that Le Yan's water heater is unplugged. So, he brings him back to his own place.

He asks again, "Le Yan, would a bath make you feel better?"

From experience, taking a bath can help to cool down such urges.

The problem is that Le Yan isn't an ordinary person, and Yi Yang isn't sure whether to treat him as a rabbit or as a human. After all, it's not normal for people to suddenly have such intense desires that can't be ignored...

Le Yan remains silent, seemingly reluctant to take a bath.

As Yi Yang glances over, he sees Le Yan's face, flushed from the heat and rubbing against his neck, covered in a thin layer of sweat. His eyes are tightly shut, long lashes resting on his lower eyelids, and his lips, bitten red and moist, are slightly parted, exhaling breaths hotter than his feverish body.

Le Yan's distress is vividly depicted by his scrunched facial features. Yi Yang finds it hard to bear looking at him, knowing it will only soften his heart.

"I'll cool the water down a bit, maybe Le Yan can relax a little?" Yi Yang suggests as he leads him towards the bathroom.

Le Yan, thinking Yi Yang is about to let go of him, clings onto him tightly, wrapping his legs firmly around his waist, "I don't want to bathe..."

Le Yan himself isn't sure what to do. He is human now and can't just find a female rabbit to mate with, but it also doesn't seem appropriate to seek a human woman for mating...

"Yi Yang, you..." Le Yan knows where he feels discomfort. He grabs Yi Yang's hand, pulls it to his abdomen, and then pushes it lower, "Can you help me..."

"What?" Yi Yang struggles internally. He understands what Le Yan wants, hence the hesitation. Le Yan is in evident pain, so Yi Yang reluctantly goes back to the room from the bathroom, covering him with a blanket and slipping his hand underneath without undressing him. As soon as he touches, Le Yan responds, and his moans become softer.

Yi Yang asks, "Like this?"

Le Yan mumbles a vague "Yes, like this."

Yi Yang's movements are gentle, his feelings increasingly complex as he assists.

Le Yan might be sharp enough to remember things at a glance and have great analytical skills, but he still seems naive. In summary, Le Yan is sensitive to concrete things but struggles with abstract concepts.

As a naive rabbit who didn't fully understand love, Yi Yang was at a loss about what to do. Seeing Le Yan in discomfort, he couldn't just ignore it. He slowly rubbed and gradually accepted the situation. Conveniently, Le Yan was lying in his arms, looking satisfied.

Yi Yang asked him, "Does this make you feel better?"

Le Yan turned his head towards Yi Yang, not directly answering the question. He had learned all the techniques from the video he watched, including how two men... mate.

Le Yan had kissed before and knew the feeling, enjoying that level of intimate exchange. So, he supported Yi Yang's face with one hand, comfortably leaning in to kiss his lips.

Yi Yang was taken aback by Le Yan's initiative, surprised to the point of shock. Le Yan willingly opened his mouth and slowly moved his hips in sync with Yi Yang's hand movements, with soft moans indicating his satisfaction.

Yi Yang, feeling a spark ignited, quickly parted from Le Yan's lips, "Le Yan, do you understand what this behavior means?"

Le Yan confidently said, "Love. In the love video I watched, they did this."

"So, do you think this is love between us?"

Le Yan shook his head.

Yi Yang's heart fluttered with desire. As a man with normal physical needs, the intimate atmosphere made his thoughts wander. He longed to kiss Le Yan's soft lips again, to undress him, and to do more than just assist with his hand.

Le Yan, behaving somewhat playfully, enjoyed Yi Yang's assistance while saying, "We're friends. But when the urge to mate arises, a friend can help, right? Yi Yang, please help me..." He tried to look pitiful and leaned in for another kiss.

Yi Yang allowed the kiss, momentarily pausing his hand movements, focusing solely on holding Le Yan close.

Le Yan's body was much softer than the average man's, with a smaller frame and a surprisingly tender touch despite his slim appearance.

Yi Yang kissed him with equal seriousness. Perhaps from the first time he willingly kissed Le Yan in Yi City, he had started to consider Le Yan his own.

He had feelings for this rabbit.

Yi Yang wholeheartedly wanted to take care of Le Yan, not just out of the obligation from that letter or Shen Qing's request. Initially, he felt only pity for the honest little rabbit braving the world alone. Who could bear to see him bullied or left to fend for himself?

Later, Yi Yang thought his attentiveness was merely out of sympathy. However, when he returned to Yi City and faced his past, Le Yan's clumsy attempts at consolation made Yi Yang realize that his feelings were not just pity, but genuine care.

That was when he had to confront the nature of his relationship with Le Yan.

Was it just fulfilling a promise or an overflow of kindness?

Really?

The kiss Yi Yang gave Le Yan was his answer.

No.

Le Yan, dizzy from the kiss and sensitive at the moment, only wanted more. The warmth under the blanket intensified his desires.

Holding Le Yan against himself, Yi Yang sternly advised, "You need to understand, this should only happen between couples or... partners. Otherwise, it's prostitution. You know what that means, right? You can get arrested for it."

He said this deliberately, hoping to gauge Le Yan's reaction, perhaps suggesting they become a couple to legitimize their actions.

"Does what we're doing count as prostitution?" Le Yan thought not, as there was no financial transaction involved between him and Yi Yang.

Le Yan, chin resting on Yi Yang's chest, struggled to raise his face, "Should we stop? But I'm still uncomfortable."

"Le Yan, if I pursued you, would you consider it?" Yi Yang asked calmly, though it was a question he had been holding back for a long time. He touched Le Yan's feverishly hot face, adding, "Like how men and women date, basically being together."

"Then we're a couple now, help me." Le Yan saw nothing wrong with his request, reasoning that being temporary partners would make their current actions more justifiable. It was a temporary arrangement to avoid legal boundaries.

Le Yan, who might sprout rabbit ears and a tail at any moment, knew marriage was out of the question for him, but Yi Yang could. Fearing Yi Yang might reject the temporary arrangement, he suggested, "Once I'm better, we can break up?"

"No, that's not what I meant...” Yi Yang, exasperated, explained more clearly, "Le Yan, consider our relationship. I don't want us to be just friends; I want to take it further. We can date, I'll be your boyfriend, take care of you. Do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Le Yan, preoccupied with his own well-being, couldn't spare any attention to listen to Yi Yang's words.

Yi Yang seemed to understand that talking about such matters now might seem like forcing Le Yan to be with him, so he stopped and continued to assist him. If Le Yan wanted to kiss, he would oblige.

At the end, Le Yan hummed a tune, lying limply on Yi Yang. His heart raced as if he had run two 800-meter laps, thumping loudly in his ears.

"Brother Yi Yang," Le Yan suddenly called out.

The address struck Yi Yang with such impact that he froze. Soon, his face flushed red, he coughed twice and shifted aside, trying to cover his reaction and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?"

"Brother Yi Yang, can you always help me like this?" Le Yan knew Yi Yang liked being called 'brother', so he generously repeated it. His voice was as soft as his demeanor, each word touching Yi Yang's heart.

"Sly rabbit," Yi Yang teased him.

Le Yan denied being a sly rabbit, but his hands were busy emulating Yi Yang's actions on himself, touching Yi Yang. "This is just like me earlier, very... hard."

"Don't touch," Yi Yang grasped his hand, commanding him not to, not without reason – he was on the brink of losing control, all because of Le Yan's provocations.

Le Yan was puzzled. Being both men, the sensation should be similar. Why did he find it pleasant, while Yi Yang rejected it? It made little sense that anyone would refuse comfort!

Determined to proceed, Le Yan made another move, prompting Yi Yang to ask seriously, "Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely sure." Le Yan felt it wasn't fair to be the only one enjoying himself. As a gesture of reciprocity, he should help Yi Yang, though uncertain how humans reacted to such stimuli... He needed to please Yi Yang, not just for today.

He would need his help tomorrow, the day after, and even days beyond!

Whenever Le Yan needed something, he would call: "Brother Yi Yang~"

Yi Yang covered his ears: I can't hear you.
