- Chapter 46 - What Kind of Burrow Can Put a Rabbit at Ease?
Xu Shengyuan scoffed coldly at the crowd and led the boy to the motorcycle.
Ye Zhi, his heart pounding with urgency, swung his long legs over the back seat, forgetting he was still wearing a skirt. The movement nearly exposed him.
He hastily adjusted the hem, but with each adjustment, Xu Shengyuan could distinctly feel Ye Zhi’s thigh brushing against him.
An inappropriate reaction stirred within Xu Shengyuan’s body.
His ears flushed crimson as he inwardly cursed himself for his lewd thoughts at such a critical moment.
Ye Zhi quickly straightened himself, his eyes fixed on the car nearing the end of the road. He urged Xu Shengyuan, Brother Xu, I’m ready. Let’s go!
As soon as Ye Zhi finished speaking, Xu Shengyuan revved the engine, and the motorcycle shot forward like an arrow released from its bow.
Xu Shengyuan accelerated rapidly, soon closing in on the car’s tail. Just as they reached a sharp turn, he shouted to Ye Zhi, Hold on tight!
Simultaneously, he gradually increased the motorcycle’s speed, leaned slightly to the right, and executed a daring cornering maneuver, overtaking the car in a single smooth motion.
Xu Shengyuan, riding his motorcycle, suddenly swerved and bumped into the car’s rear wheel. The driver seemed startled, and the car gradually veered off course, as if trying to evade Xu Shengyuan’s motorcycle.
Yet even so, the car carrying the mother and daughter showed no sign of stopping.
This further confirmed Ye Zhi’s suspicions, and Xu Shengyuan’s expression grew even more serious.
If his child was truly in that car, any normal family would have at least rolled down the window to shout curses after such a dangerous near-collision.
But they didn’t even dare open the window—a clear sign of guilt.
Xu Shengyuan glanced at the road and noticed surveillance cameras positioned at intervals along the secluded stretch. He quickly formulated a plan.
The motorcycle roared through the wind as Xu Shengyuan shouted to Ye Zhi
I bet that car won’t dare hit us. Should we pull up and block their path?
Sensing the boy’s apprehension, Xu Shengyuan added reassuringly
Don’t worry. Even if they don’t stop, I’ll make sure you’re…
Safe.
Just drive! Ye Zhi replied crisply, showing no fear of being hit.
Xu Shengyuan paused, slightly surprised by the boy’s unwavering confidence.
Despite his seemingly docile demeanor, the young man possessed remarkable courage, as fearless as Xu Shengyuan himself.
Xu Shengyuan had initially assumed him to be a delicate hothouse flower, but he turned out to be a wild rose.
A faint smile tugged at Xu Shengyuan’s lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He tilted his head back and shouted to the rear seat, Alright!
On the sparsely populated suburban road, the car and motorcycle engaged in a fierce contest. The young man, fueled by youthful bravado, accelerated with the wind’s assistance. With a smooth drift, he brought the motorcycle to a steady halt directly in front of the car.
Just as Xu Shengyuan had predicted, the driver dared not hit him. Startled by the sudden appearance of the motorcycle, the driver panicked and slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as the car skidded to a halt on the white line.
The driver tried to turn around and continue driving, but the abrupt braking had stalled the engine.
By then, Xu Shengyuan had already dismounted the motorcycle with practiced ease. He picked up a roadside rock and shattered the driver’s side window.
An Alpha’s physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary humans, making smashing a car window a trivial task.
Simultaneously, he released his S-Class Alpha pheromones, intending to subdue the occupants. To his surprise, all the passengers were Betas, completely unaffected by the pheromones.
The driver quickly recovered his composure, pulling out a knife and threatening Xu Shengyuan.
Mind your own business and get lost, he snarled.
Through the shattered car window, Ye Zhi noticed the little boy in the back seat had woken up.
Surprisingly calm, the boy neither cried nor fussed. When their eyes met, he pursed his lips and glanced toward the passenger-side door.
Reading his lips, Ye Zhi realized the child was saying
The door’s open.
So the boy had been awake all along. Amidst the chaos, he had quietly unlocked the car door, but being held by the woman, he hadn’t dared to immediately jump out and run.
Ye Zhi exchanged a glance with Xu Shengyuan and subtly moved around to the back seat.
Though Xu Shengyuan didn’t understand Ye Zhi’s plan, he decided to play along.
Ignoring the driver’s knife pointed at him, he leaned casually against the car window, attempting to reason with the man
Let’s all calm down, okay? How about this you hand over the kid, and I’ll let you go. Deal?
The driver scoffed, waving the knife dismissively.
Can’t you see the situation? I’m the one with the knife here. We’re letting you go, got it?
Xu Shengyuan suddenly leaned in, grabbed the driver’s dagger, and said with a completely unsurprised tone
Brother, this is a dull prop dagger. What’s the point of trying to scare me with it?
Having worked on film sets for so long, he could recognize a dull prop weapon from a distance. The driver had even waved it right in front of his face.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhi had already moved to the passenger side. While everyone’s attention was focused on Xu Shengyuan, he swiftly opened the car door and yanked the woman out.
The woman screamed in terror, but the quick-witted child seized the chaos to wriggle free from her grasp and cling to the hem of Ye Zhi’s shirt, refusing to let go.
Seeing the child was safe, Xu Shengyuan flipped through the car window and subdued the driver, who was trying to escape.
Just then, police sirens wailed in the distance. Following the location Xu Shengyuan had sent earlier, the officers arrived.
It turned out that when they had set off, Xu Shengyuan had quickly drafted a text message to the police, including a GPS tracking link for his motorcycle.
His motorcycle had a built-in GPS system, allowing anyone with the link to pinpoint its exact location at any time.
The rest was left to the police. Xu Shengyuan, Ye Zhi, and the child were all taken to the station for questioning.
During the ride back to the police station, the child remained silent, clutching tightly to the hem of Ye Zhi’s shirt.
Ye Zhi assumed the child was simply frightened. He pulled Xiao Yan onto his lap, gently patting the boy’s back as he murmured soothingly, Xiao Yan, are you still scared? Lie down on Gege’s back and take a nap. You won’t be afraid when you wake up.
Hearing the familiar nickname, Xiao Yan snuggled against Ye Zhi, rubbing affectionately against him before closing his eyes, ready to sleep.
Xu Shengyuan asked curiously, You know his name?
Ye Zhi nodded and recounted their afternoon ride on the carousel. Xiao Yan had been sitting on the pony behind him, wearing an adorable yellow duck-shaped backpack. Ye Zhi couldn’t help but glance at him a few times.
That’s when he noticed the young, stylishly dressed woman sitting beside Xiao Yan. She was holding up her phone, saying to the boy, Xiao Yan, look at the camera! Daddy wants to video chat with you.
So that woman was Xiao Yan’s biological mother, not the malicious middle-aged woman from earlier.
After hearing Ye Zhi’s explanation, Xu Shengyuan finally understood. He angrily cursed the onlookers, Those people were talking about teaching young people a lesson? They’re not exactly young themselves, acting on pure instinct without asking any questions before stopping you!
As he spoke, Xu Shengyuan suddenly remembered something. He asked worriedly, Ye Zhi, are you hurt anywhere?
Where were you hurt back then? I remember someone kicking you in the waist—fucking idiot! Just thinking about it makes me angry. Does it still hurt?
When Xu Shengyuan tried to check Ye Zhi’s injuries, Ye Zhi pressed down on his hand, shook his head, and said softly, Xiao Yan’s asleep. Don’t wake him. It doesn’t hurt.
The kid was remarkably carefree, falling sound asleep in the arms of a stranger.
Xu Shengyuan reluctantly withdrew his hand, his gaze lingering on the child sleeping soundly in Ye Zhi’s arms. A flicker of annoyance crossed his face as he muttered inwardly, What a nuisance. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have bothered saving him.
Of course, he only thought this. If the situation arose again, he would undoubtedly still save the child.
At the police station, things proceeded smoothly. After giving their statements, the police quickly released them.
Xiao Yan had already woken up and even used his genius smartwatch to call his mother, asking her to come pick him up. When the call connected, the woman’s voice still trembled with sobs, likely from the panic of not finding her child for so long.
The two adults and the child hadn’t eaten dinner yet. As Ye Zhi and Xu Shengyuan debated where to eat, Xiao Yan suddenly tugged Ye Zhi toward the police station’s side, stopping in front of Grandpa Ken’s.
He stood before the glass door, pointed inside, and fixed his gaze steadily on Xu Shengyuan.
Holy crap, this kid knows how to pick a sucker to pay, huh?
Ye Zhi quickly understood what the child meant and nearly burst out laughing.
Brother Xu, the kid’s already picked you. Looks like you’re paying whether you like it or not.
After spending the day together, Ye Zhi felt increasingly comfortable around Xu Shengyuan. His words shed the pretense of meekness, revealing more of his natural mischievousness.
Xu Shengyuan immediately noticed the subtle shift in Ye Zhi’s demeanor.
He had long found it strange. When they first met, the boy had been like a restless rabbit, ready to bolt at the slightest provocation, even calling Lu Qingze a madman. Yet later, he had grown increasingly docile, as if restrained by some unspoken fear.
So obedient, yet so distant.
Xu Shengyuan had always known that Ye Zhi’s closeness with them was merely superficial. The boy had never truly trusted any of them.
He could understand it to some extent. A boy with amnesia, thrust into a completely unfamiliar environment, would inevitably isolate himself for protection.
It was like a rabbit entering a new place. Its first instinct would be to cautiously observe its surroundings. Only when it found a safe and comfortable burrow could it shed its defenses and gradually reveal its true nature.
What kind of burrow would make a rabbit feel safe?
Perhaps one that was relaxed, accommodating, and comfortable.
With this thought, Xu Shengyuan proactively pushed open the glass door and smiled, picking up where Ye Zhi had left off
Order whatever you like. It won’t cost much here, so don’t hold back.
Great!
Ye Zhi bent down to pick up the child and walked into the restaurant, his eyes and brows radiating a carefree smile.
Xiao Yan, did you hear that? Order whatever you want later, don’t be shy, ha ha.
The warm-toned lighting inside the restaurant created a cozy atmosphere, casting a human glow on the usually aloof young man.
Watching Ye Zhi’s profile as he held the child and laughed, Xu Shengyuan’s eyes softened with genuine amusement.
Xiao Ye, don’t always suppress yourself.
You don’t need to be polite with me.
I’ve known your true self for a long time.
A docile rabbit is certainly endearing, but I’ll always prefer the original one.
