Chapter 2 Illness Reaches a Vital Point_1

The person was startled too and swung their hand down in a slap!

Smack!

That was where Rabbit's memories ended!

The rest of the memories now belonged to the soul that inhabited Rabbit's body.

He wasn't from this world, he came from 21st century Earth, a place called Huaxia. He had been an orphan since childhood, adopted by an old man who had never attended school and couldn't recognize a single character. The old man's surname was Qin, and he had lived his whole life childless. When he adopted the boy, he treated him as a treasure bestowed by god, sparing no effort to take care of him and giving him the best he could afford. In order to give him a unique and good name, the old man specifically picked up a Xinhua Dictionary—he had heard that it contained all the Chinese characters in the world.

He treasured it like a precious gem, tearing it into individual pages and spreading them all over the room, then he took out a square-holed copper coin, closed his eyes, and tossed it into the air! His heart prayed: may the heavens bless me with a good name, the character in the square hole will be my son's name!

With a clap, the old man opened his eyes and, indeed, the square hole had caught onto a character. However, since he couldn't read, he could only copy the character as best as he could, and thus, that character became the child's name.

From that day on, he never smiled whenever someone mentioned his name...

Not until the old man passed away, and as he looked at the ruins that were left behind, he suddenly felt that this name seemed more precious than anything else in the world! Kneeling in front of the old man's grave, he drank a bottle of liquor, hopping around and shouting his name all night. That day, his name echoed throughout the entire hillside, immeasurably loud!

"Qin Shou!"

"Qin Shou!"

"Damn it, in the water, you are Qin Shou!"

"No, I am Qin Shou!"

"Qin Shou!——"

That day, the earth dogs down the hill initially responded a couple of times, but as time passed, even the dogs grew tired and shut up, yet he kept calling.

The villagers all shook their heads, lamenting that the child was unfilial, standing by the grave and cursing his father as a brute...

Once Qin Shou descended from the hill, the villagers all said he lived up to his name. Qin Shou was utterly baffled, yet somewhat proud. Years later, when he understood the reason behind it, all that was left was to drink and curse: "Screw you, ancestor!"

However, Qin Shou never thought about changing his name, as it was the first gift the old man had given him. As for his keepsake, it was the copper coin hanging around his neck that had helped choose his name.

Qin Shou's life was not particularly blissful, but it wasn't too terrible either; at least the old gentleman had provided him with the warmth he needed. That day, he was merely coming home when he didn't know which troublemaker's child had stolen a manhole cover, and which other troublemaker's child was playing on the balcony and accidentally tumbled down. In a rush, he looked up and ran over to catch the child. He caught the child, the kid was fine, but then he turned and fell down into the sewer.

At that moment, his only thought was that he had become a hero, and surely... the government would take care of finding him a partner, right?

But he didn't wait for the government; instead, he was greeted by this scene.

Though it wasn't great in many ways, it looked like the partner issue was about to be resolved...

"Forget it, forget it. Although I've become a rabbit, at least I've got a sister. Hmm... a perfect score sister!" While the rabbit was muttering to itself, it began to worry a little: Who is that rough man carrying the big ax? A pervert? A voyeur? No way, that guy's big and rugged, and the ax he uses is as big as a door panel. If he really goes berserk, our sister won't be able to withstand him! As for me, with this tiny body rushing forward, I'm just an appetizer before the main course, a mere boost to their spirits.

With this thought, the rabbit's mood took a downturn. Was it, having just escaped bachelorhood, about to return to the ranks of the forever alone? That's absolutely unacceptable, utterly unthinkable! I must come up with some kind of solution!

At this moment, the beauty spoke again: "Yu'er? Yu'er? Did you knock yourself silly? Why aren't you speaking? Just daydreaming? Though you've always been a dummy, you're a dummy who can jump. Quickly jump one for your sister."

While she was speaking, the beauty set the rabbit down and patted Qin Shou on the behind.

Qin Shou instantly got a jolt of stimulation! He found that a pat on that short tail was rather... titillating! He let out an instinctive cry, and the beauty immediately laughed: "Haha, my little dummy is okay, haha..."

Qin Shou rolled his eyes at her. What kind of look was that? Didn't she see that her dummy died? Was this a replacement?

But he would never say that, for someone who had suffered and struggled like him, he knew the value of a fellow sufferer all too well. Just like the old man to him...

And like the dummy rabbit was to the beauty!

Or, the beauty was to the dummy rabbit!

Meanwhile, Qin Shou realized that when he tried to explain everything, his heart ached ominously. He knew it was the last vestige of the dummy rabbit's regret, clearly indicating he wasn't dumb; he considered the beauty his most important family member and didn't want his death to bring her sorrow.

Thinking this, Qin Shou muttered to himself, "Okay, okay, dummy rabbit, by inhabiting your body, I am borrowing it to live once more. This is a debt I owe you. Rest assured, while I'm in your body, I will look after her for you. I won't let anyone bully her! And I won't let her find out about your death."

Qin Shou simply made a casual promise, without expecting it to work. But then... he suddenly felt lighter, and his mind cleared up, making the world seem much sharper. At the same time, his thinking speed went from ox-cart to rocket, a explosive improvement!

That was the moment Qin Shou understood that the dummy rabbit was truly gone, and at that moment, his body and Qin Shou's became one.

Unable to help himself, Qin Shou said inwardly, "Dummy rabbit, go in peace. For the rest of the journey, I'll live to make it spectacular!"

Afterwards, Qin Shou became bewildered. Live to make it spectacular? He, a rabbit that could hardly fill his belly, what kind of splendor could he make? Not climbing trees anymore? Starting to dig up tree roots? Moreover, there was still that covetous brute nearby...

Thinking this, Qin Shou's head started to hurt.

Seeing Qin Shou react, the beauty was very happy, hugged him, and hopped and skipped her way back home, which was quite a challenge for the rabbit in her arms! That face was a bit too beautiful! Happiness came so unexpectedly, Qin Shou's heart surged, and suddenly his nose felt cold...

"What's going on?" Qin Shou was shocked!

Qin Shou wiped his nose, and to his surprise, he had a nosebleed! He was utterly dumbfounded. How could this be? He might not have a girlfriend, but he had seen countless people and countless films, grown up in the glory of JAV, known as the person-sized code-reading machine with several TBs of reading volume! Although the beauty was gorgeous, it wasn't to the point of getting a nosebleed just from taking a bit of liberty.

While his mind was racing, he was astonished to find that his head began to spin and blur, followed by nausea and the urge to vomit, a feeling of weakness rising, and even with his eyes wide open, he couldn't see clearly. His body grew colder and colder... he had a feeling that this was death!

Just then, the beauty also noticed Qin Shou's condition and exclaimed, "Oh no, Yu'er, is your illness acting up again?"
