Chapter 23: Elvis: No Drinking Allowed part 1
Elvis’s eyes curved ever so slightly, a change almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Yun Yingzhi took another lick of the juice.
Elvis set the glass aside and began feeding the little white rabbit other delicacies.
It could almost be said that whatever Elvis fed him, the ravenous little rabbit couldn’t help but devour.
He felt like his stomach was a bottomless pit.
Theoretically, the smaller the second form, the smaller the appetite. However, this rule simply didn’t apply to Yun Yingzhi. His stomach was like a black hole; he could eat an incredible amount.
Because of Elvis, more and more people were looking toward the man and the little white rabbit.
Yun Yingzhi felt like he was experiencing a total social death.
Originally, he had hoped to find a chance to transform back into his human form, but now that seemed like a pipe dream.
As a human being, he was currently being “rua-ed” by others as if he were an actual little pet. He had his pride; under these circumstances, he couldn’t let anyone find out who he was.
Thinking this, Yun Yingzhi decided to just pretend he was a real little white rabbit, becoming even more unscrupulous as he ate the food Elvis brought to his mouth.
His eyes darted around.
Before today, he had never participated in a mixer. This place didn’t seem much different from a regular banquet.
The participants were mainly students from two academies.
There was Fanse Academy, the Empire’s top military school, and Eiffel Academy, the only all-girls school among the top ten military academies, which was also located on the Capital Star.
Then there were students from the other eight of the top ten military academies who had come to the Capital Star for various reasons.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids twitched. He suddenly remembered a serious problem: he thought he had heard Yun Yingyao’s voice earlier.
Was Yun Yingyao here?
Yun Yingzhi’s gaze swept the room, trying to find her.
And then…
His eyes met a pair of pitch-black ones.
Not far away, Yun Yingyao, her long hair tied in a high ponytail, was watching him with a cold gaze.
Yun Yingzhi’s heart thumped. He felt that while others might not know, Yun Yingyao probably… recognized him.
His ears twitched. Relying on his excellent hearing, he heard Huai Boshe say, “Yaoyao, didn’t you say you weren’t coming? Why the sudden change of heart?”
Huai Boshe actually came too?
Previously, Yun Yingzhi’s attention had been entirely on Yun Yingyao. Only now, hearing Huai Boshe’s voice, did he realize the man was here.
On the other side, Yun Yingyao didn’t respond to Huai Boshe; her eyes remained fixed on the little rabbit.
Yun Yingzhi felt that if a gaze could pluck an animal bald, he would have been featherless long ago.
He shrank back uneasily into Elvis’s arms.
Elvis’s gaze swept the area and spotted Yun Yingyao.
Pausing for a moment, Elvis shifted his position while holding the rabbit.
The new spot was perfectly calculated to put some distance between them and Yun Yingyao, ensuring neither could see the other.
Yun Yingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Elvis’s large hand “rua-ed” the rabbit all over again.
The little rabbit shook his fur, which puffed up in an “exploding” style. The little rabbit kid was not doing well at all.
The corners of Elvis’s lips curled upward.
The rabbit’s ears twitched. He forced himself to stay calm and continued to pretend he was just an ordinary rabbit, obediently eating the food Elvis fed him.
But…
It was one thing for Yun Yingyao to be here, but why was she walking with that scumbag Huai Boshe?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He stomped his little feet, looking like he was about to hop up in rage.
With a sharp crack, Yun Yingzhi, in a fit of pique, bit right through the glass of juice Elvis had brought to his mouth. The sound was exceptionally crisp.
Elvis used both hands to pinch the rabbit’s chin, checking his tiny mouth. Finding no injuries, he set the broken glass aside and frowned. “You can’t eat this.”
The rabbit slumped his face into a grumpy pout and turned his head away, refusing to look at Elvis.
In the crowd, someone exclaimed, “Wow, that little rabbit has some serious teeth!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
A normal little white rabbit couldn’t possibly have such strong teeth.
In that moment, Yun Yingzhi was incredibly nervous. He was worried that because of this anomaly, someone would firmly conclude that he was Yun Yingzhi himself.
The next moment, he heard a student who looked familiar—likely from Fanse Academy—say with total sincerity, “Earlier, I thought that rabbit might be our school beauty Yingzhi. But looking at how easily it crushed that glass, I know now: it couldn’t possibly be our beauty!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
His eyelids twitched, feeling a subtle insult that he was too weak.
What made the little rabbit feel even worse was that many people agreed, seriously believing the student was absolutely right.
Someone in the crowd said, “True, our Yingzhi is exceptionally frail. He doesn’t have that kind of strength at all.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Really… just really…
These people… the attack power was low, but the insult was maximum.
Yun Yingzhi silently turned his tiny body in Elvis’s arms and pressed his face against Elvis’s chest. He didn’t want to see anyone right now.
However, the extremely hungry rabbit didn’t wait long before turning back, opening his tiny mouth, and eating what Elvis offered.
As the little rabbit ate, his eyes couldn’t help but wander, observing his surroundings.
He also spotted Yu Feiwen and the others.
The rabbit’s ears twitched. Thanks to his sharp hearing, he heard that they were looking for him.
Among them, Ji Xiaobo said, “I thought the rabbit the Prince is keeping looked a lot like our Yingzhi’s second form, and seeing it now, the resemblance is even stronger.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
After eating quite a bit from Elvis’s hand, he now wanted to drink some wine.
He really wanted to drink.
Usually, Yun Yinghui wouldn’t let him touch alcohol. Now that the banquet hall was full of it, he wanted to give it a try.
He found that Elvis seemed quite easy-going, so he tapped Elvis with a tiny paw.
Elvis’s eyelids moved slightly, though his expression didn’t change at all. He shifted his hands, turning the rabbit around so they were facing each other.
Their gazes met.
Once again, the rabbit felt that Elvis was an iceberg with a paralyzed face.
It was very surprising that such a person would like cute pets.
The little rabbit used a paw to point at the champagne being carried by the waiters.
Elvis paused and said softly, “No.”
The rabbit got a little angry and indignantly patted Elvis’s arm.
Elvis: “…I said, no.”
The little rabbit blinked his large, watery eyes. Suddenly, those dark eyes transformed into a “doe-eyed” version full of teary bubbles. He rubbed his two tiny paws together, his little rabbit face filled with expectation.
Elvis: “…”
Elvis blinked, staring into those sparkling, tear-filled rabbit eyes. The words of refusal reached his lips but remained unspoken for a long time.
Yun Yingzhi felt there was hope.
The rabbit’s spirit rallied. Pressing his advantage, he placed his two tiny paws on Elvis’s body, looking obedient, cute, and soft.
A student in the crowd let out a muffled squeal. “Oh my god, it’s just a little rabbit, but how can it be so clingy?”
Another student added, “You don’t know? My girlfriend is a student at Fanse Academy. She told me she saw with her own eyes how clingy this rabbit was. When Prince Elvis didn’t want to hold him, he latched onto the most important part of the Prince’s masculinity with pinpoint accuracy!”
“Good lord! This really is a pervert little rabbit!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Steam practically rose from Yun Yingzhi’s entire body. The little rabbit’s frame wobbled; he was not okay.
Sniffling, he suppressed his sense of shame. He thought as long as no one knew he was Yun Yingzhi, he was fearless!
As a cute little pet, what use did he have for a sense of shame?
Thinking this, Yun Yingzhi steadied his wobbling body.
Another student in the crowd said excitedly, “This little rabbit must be very young. It’s a newborn kit, right? It can’t even stand straight; it’s still wobbling. So cute!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi pretended not to hear the comments from the random bystanders. He rubbed his face against Elvis’s chest to create some distance, then met the Prince’s eyes with his large, teary “doe eyes” again.
Elvis’s brow twitched violently. He glanced toward the wine, appearing to hesitate.
The rabbit pressed on, leaning closer to Elvis and nuzzling him once more.
But…
It still didn’t work.
The little rabbit thought: Prince Elvis really doesn’t know how to appreciate a gesture!
Despite this thought, the rabbit used his paws and feet to start climbing up Elvis’s clothes.
