Became the Terminally Ill Supporting Male Lead's Rabbit Spirit

Chapter 11

Su Ci had imagined many times how she would transform back into a human in front of Lu Zhe, but she never thought it would happen in bed!

And so unexpectedly!

Most importantly, when she turned back into a human, she would be completely naked - did he... did he see everything?

Glancing at the young man before her, who was frowning with dark eyes fixed on her, Su Ci quickly pulled up the nearly falling blanket around her.

She had lost all dignity!

Su Ci asked Fu Gui: "How did I suddenly turn human? Did I kiss Lu Zhe in my sleep?"

Fu Gui: [He kissed you.]

Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe in disbelief - he kissed her?

Why did it have to be while she was sleeping!

Lu Zhe wiped the spot where Su Ci had kissed him with his fingertip, his brows deeply furrowed, "Who are you? How did you get in my room?"

Su Ci stared blankly at Lu Zhe's lip-wiping gesture, utterly incredulous: "Is he disgusted that I kissed him?"

In her current form, forget men, even she would want to kiss herself if she saw her reflection, yet Lu Zhe was disgusted by her kiss?

That really hurt!!!

Fu Gui trembled: [Maybe his lips were just itchy, so he wiped them.]

Su Ci scoffed at it.

The next moment, she looked at Lu Zhe with her dark, moist eyes appearing pitiful, her voice soft and gentle, "I'm the rabbit you've been keeping. You kissed me, and that's why I could turn into a human."

"Thank you," Su Ci said with an innocent expression.

Lu Zhe's brows furrowed even deeper, "Rabbit?"

His gaze fell once again on the girl's ankle exposed outside the blanket, which indeed had the red string he had tied on the little rabbit, and his rabbit was nowhere to be seen.

Su Ci nodded, "You named me Tuantuan."

He had only told Little Kuaile the rabbit's name; no one else knew about it.

Even though this situation was extremely absurd and unbelievable, Lu Zhe had no choice but to believe that the girl before him was indeed the rabbit he had been keeping.

Su Ci, worried that Lu Zhe might think she was some kind of demon or rabbit spirit, told him that she wasn't actually a rabbit but a human, though she didn't know why she had turned into a rabbit before he found her.

Lu Zhe looked at her, "Where's your home?"

Su Ci hadn't expected to dig herself into this hole. She bit her lip, lowered her gaze, and said in a soft, pitiful voice, "I don't know. I only remember that I don't belong here, and my name is Su Ci."

Lu Zhe pinched the bridge of his nose. Having such an incident happen in the middle of the night had left his thoughts in disarray. "Since you've turned human now, you should leave tomorrow."

Lu Zhe wanted to drive her away?

How could she possibly leave? She probably wouldn't even make it past the doorway before turning back into a rabbit tomorrow!

Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe pitifully and explained, "Lu Zhe, I can't leave. I can only maintain human form for a few hours, and I need to kiss you to maintain it continuously. I don't know why, but if I leave you, I'll quickly turn back into a rabbit."

"Besides, when I kiss you, I can help you... help you..."

Su Ci discovered that she couldn't say what she wanted to say anymore. "Fu Gui, what's happening?"

Fu Gui: [Master, you can't tell anyone about being able to see life values, and you can't mention that kissing Lu Zhe can help restore his lifespan. These are heaven's secrets.]

Being able to see someone's life force was against the laws of nature.

Su Ci fell silent for a moment, then said to Lu Zhe, "A cute bunny like me would get caught by someone."

Su Ci held the blanket with one hand while pulling at Lu Zhe's clothes with the other.

Her delicate fingertips appeared pink and white in the light, fragile and tender. "I might even get eaten by someone. You've taken care of me for so many days, could you bear to let me get eaten?"

As she spoke, she nuzzled his hanging palm like she used to do as a rabbit.

Getting no response, Su Ci secretly gritted her teeth and began counting on her pretty fingers, "Besides, I can wash your clothes."

"I can cook for you."

"I can clean the house."

......

After counting everything, Su Ci smiled brightly at Lu Zhe: "I'm very useful." Thinking about Lu Zhe's lack of money and worried he might not be able to afford keeping her, she added thoughtfully: "I can even earn money myself, I won't be a burden to you."

Lu Zhe lowered his gaze to look at the girl's fingers clutching his clothes, tender and fresh, with light pink fingertips. He remembered when she was a rabbit, her paws were also pink and white.

His tone was flat, "I only have one room here, there's no place for you to stay."

"That's okay, I can stay in the storage room." She knew there was a small storage room next to the living room.

Lu Zhe looked at her, pulled his clothes from her hands, and picked up his pillow, "It's very late now, I'll sleep outside."

The door closed.

Su Ci blinked, "Fu Gui, does this mean he's agreed to let me stay?"

Fu Gui: [Master is so beautiful and multi-talented, he definitely agreed to let you stay.]

Fu Gui, completely unprincipled, first lavished some flattery.

Su Ci nodded satisfactorily, "But I lied to him just now, I don't know how to wash clothes."

Since childhood, she had dedicated servants for her laundry, and even after her family went bankrupt and she entered the entertainment industry, the company had hired a life assistant for her.

"I don't know how to cook." She only liked eating, had never even entered a kitchen.

"I also don't know how to clean." Let alone a broom, she had never even touched a cleaning cloth.

Fu Gui covered its conscience: [Master, you're the most beautiful woman in the world, you don't need to learn these things.]

Fu Gui suddenly realized that its current master appeared to be a sweet white candy on the surface, but in reality, she was a black salty sesame ball.

......

The next day, there was a knock on the door.

This time Su Ci wasn't dead asleep, and remembering the revelation of her identity, despite being drowsy, she still got up to open the door.

"Morning," Su Ci greeted Lu Zhe with a smile.

The girl was wearing a black T-shirt that covered down to her thighs, revealing two long, fair legs below, enticingly obvious.

Lu Zhe glanced at her and finally understood why he had found his school uniform stained in the closet earlier - she must have worn it and gotten it dirty.

"I'm getting my clothes," Lu Zhe walked in.

Su Ci quickly moved aside, knowing he needed to change into his school uniform.

Su Ci didn't know if Lu Zhe would drive her away, so for now she could only act like an obedient little pitiful thing, "You're going to school now, take care on your way, I'll be good and wait here for you to come back."

Lu Zhe took out his school uniform from the closet. When he turned around, he saw Su Ci standing by the door, barefoot, her feet uncertainly touching the floor. Whether from the cold floor or not, her toes were slightly curled.

Lu Zhe looked away and said coldly, "I'll come back at noon to take you shopping for clothes." She couldn't keep wearing his clothes forever.

Hearing this, Su Ci's eyes lit up, "And underwear too." Not having any underwear made her feel very insecure.

Lu Zhe glanced at her, "Mm."

He walked out, changed into his school uniform, and left.

From her time with Lu Zhe, Su Ci knew he was hard to get close to. As long as he didn't drive her away now, she would have plenty of chances to slowly build their relationship.

Su Ci hummed an unknown tune as she went back to bed to catch up on sleep.

......

In the early morning, students gradually entered through the school gates.

A luxury car stopped at the entrance, drawing everyone's attention. Many recognized it as the car that had picked up the transfer student Fu Baili yesterday.

Sure enough, the next moment the car door opened, and Fu Baili stepped out.

He wasn't wearing the school uniform, but rather a stylish black casual outfit that made everyone around want to scream with excitement.

Fu Baili completely ignored everyone as he walked into the school with an aloof air.

"Ah, is that the transfer student from the next class? He's so handsome, no wonder the forum was full of posts about him yesterday," a short-haired girl said to the school beauty Jiang Mengqi beside her.

Jiang Mengqi slowly came back to her senses, lifting her chin with proud eyes, "Fu Baili is the sole heir to the Fu family in S City." When she heard Fu Baili's name yesterday, she thought it sounded familiar and specifically asked her father about it, not expecting him to really be the Fu family heir.

Her family was considered wealthy, but compared to the Fu family, they were worlds apart.

"The Fu family?" the short-haired girl asked with confusion.

"You don't need to know about that. It's beyond your level," Jiang Mengqi replied with an air of arrogance.

The short-haired girl nodded, "Ah, Mengqi, that's Lu Zhe over there." As Jiang Mengqi's follower, she naturally knew about her former crush on Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe was handsome and academically excellent, once a legendary figure at school.

But ever since his sister Zhao Youyou exposed his background and revealed his terminal illness on the school forum, this golden boy fell from grace.

Now nobody paid attention to Lu Zhe anymore.

Jiang Mengqi looked over and confirmed it was indeed Lu Zhe.

He was wearing his school uniform, with an upright posture but a cold expression. As much as she had once found him attractive, she now found him unlucky to look at.

She turned away, "What's there to look at? Don't mention him in front of me."

Lu Zhe entered the classroom. Just as he sat down, Li Dongliang, who had been greeting Fu Baili, immediately came over. "Bro Zhe, you're here!"

"Quick, bring out your bunny! I brought my turtle today. Let's have them race!" Li Dongliang loved fluffy pets, but since he couldn't keep any, he settled for a small turtle instead.

He took out his "little rascal" from a transparent box.

Lu Zhe gave him a bland look, "Didn't bring the rabbit."

Thinking of the "rabbit" at home and looking at the turtle before him, Lu Zhe's lips curled slightly, "Even if I had brought it, my rabbit wouldn't race against your turtle."

Hearing that Lu Zhe didn't bring the rabbit, Li Dongliang wailed dramatically, "How could you not bring it? Don't you feel lonely during class without petting your rabbit? Don't your hands get itchy?"

"No."

Li Dongliang deflated, putting his turtle back in its box with disappointment. Without seeing the bunny, his whole day was ruined.

There were four morning classes, and the last period was supposed to be math, but the math teacher had something come up and switched it with the afternoon's self-study period.

During self-study, many students were diligently solving practice problems, as the college entrance exam was approaching and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

However, the atmosphere in the last row was completely different.

Lu Zhe was quick and accurate with his work, having already finished his test paper, and was now reading other books. Meanwhile, Li Dongliang had pulled his chair over to Fu Baili's desk, and they were playing games.

Li Dongliang's family had done business with the Fu family several times, so he and Fu Baili were somewhat acquainted.

If Su Ci were here, she would definitely tease Li Dongliang about being one of Fu Baili's three main followers.

"Brother Li, why did you come to D City? And transfer to First High?" Li Dongliang was purely gaming for company, finding it less entertaining than petting bunnies.

Fu Baili leaned casually against his chair, his fingers moving quickly over the game controls, "Grandmother's not feeling well, so I came back with her for some fresh air. It doesn't matter where I study anyway."

Li Dongliang nodded in agreement. For slackers like them, changing schools just meant changing where they slept and played games.

He glanced sideways at Lu Zhe. Why would they need to study as seriously as Lu Zhe did?

Still, consistently ranking first in the grade and staying ahead of second place by more than twenty points was impressive. Even as a poor student, he admired Lu Zhe for that.

The bell rang.

Lu Zhe stuffed his book into his backpack and stood up to leave.

"Bro Zhe, are you going home for lunch?" Li Dongliang looked up to ask as Lu Zhe passed by.

"Mm."

"Remember to bring your bunny this afternoon! I bought a pretty pink bow for it, it'll look so cute!" Li Dongliang said eagerly.

"Not bringing it." Lu Zhe walked out.

Li Dongliang's face fell, losing interest in the game. Catching Fu Baili's puzzled look, he quickly explained, "Lu Zhe has this super cute white rabbit."

Fu Baili lowered his head to continue gaming, showing absolutely no interest.

It was exactly noon when Lu Zhe returned home.

As soon as he opened the door, the girl immediately came to greet him, "You're back?"

Su Ci was still wearing his oversized black T-shirt on top, barely managing to wear a pair of long pants with the legs rolled up several times, just revealing her delicate ankles.

Lu Zhe placed a pair of white canvas shoes in front of her, which he'd bought on his way back. "I don't know your size, but try these first. If they don't fit, we'll buy another pair later."

"Thank you!" Su Ci wouldn't refuse.

She took the shoes and went to the sofa to try them on. When she slipped her foot in, there was about two fingers' width of space at the heel - too big.

But it was better than wearing his shoes.

"Alright, let's go."

Apart from the time she transformed back into human to save Little Joy, this was her second time going out in human form.

However, after just a few steps outside the residential complex, Su Ci wasn't happy anymore. She discovered that the white canvas shoes had very hard soles, clearly cheap shoes with no quality. Whether due to her rabbit form's influence or not, even in human form, her feet were extremely sensitive, making the shoes very uncomfortable.

Lu Zhe was walking ahead when he felt his clothes being tugged.

Looking down, he saw the girl's pink-white fingers clutching his hem again.

He turned around and met Su Ci's dark, liquid eyes.

"Lu Zhe, are we walking there?" she asked somewhat embarrassedly. "How far is it? My feet hurt."

Hearing Su Ci complain about foot pain, he frowned. From coming downstairs to the entrance, they'd barely walked a few steps. Plus, the shopping mall was only a ten-minute walk away - not far at all - so Lu Zhe hadn't planned on taking a taxi.

Worried he wouldn't believe her, Su Ci easily slipped off the loose white canvas shoe to show Lu Zhe her foot.

In the sunlight, the girl's foot was snow-white like jade, tiny, and because the shoe was too big, Su Ci had to shift her weight forward, causing her round little toes to become red from rubbing.

The last time she wore his shoes out, her feet had developed blisters, but she'd turned back into a rabbit then and was carried by Lu Zhe, not having to walk herself.

Lu Zhe had grown up tough - in the orphanage, they would continue wearing clothes and shoes even when they had holes. Even after being adopted by the Zhao family, he was raised with minimal attention, wearing whatever clothes and shoes that were functional.

This was his first time knowing that there could be someone so delicate in the world, getting red feet from just walking a few steps.
