Chapter 761 - Little White Ears.
Chapter 761 – Little White Ears.
Li Xue really wanted to chuckle seeing her daughter getting all cautious with the little rabbit. She also could not deny that her baby looked truly adorable like that. Though she has told her that now it was the rabbit's chance to choose her, with those words she has just wanted to let her understand how important opportunities are in one's life. They are neither hard to accept nor easy to forsake or reject.
Feng Shufen looked on with his hands tucked into his pocket. He understood the aim with which Li Xue had told all that to the little one. And he kind of agrees to that. But then there was a thought coming to his mind again and again – This was his daughter and no opportunity will ever be capable of rejecting her!
With that thought, his eyes flashed with some darkness as he turned to give a gaze to Du Fan, who in turn understood what the orders were. Giving a nod of politeness, he at once turned and walked to execute them.
At the front, Li Xue waited patiently as Little Li Wei slowly and slowly shifted near to touch the soft fur of the rabbit. Her little hands slightly shaking in nervousness while her eyes dilating and contracting with slight anxiousness.
"Little rabbit! Stay there! Let WeiWei touch you, she will not hurt you. Okay?" The little girl said as slowly and steadily her hands reached to touch the furry body. On the first touch, the rabbit flinched slightly which in turn almost made WeiWei jump back. But then suddenly she remembered her Mama's words and her fearful movements paused bringing back the surge of confidence in her.
"Fine, fine, don't get scared. WeiWei will be softer. Softer and softer till you like her touch" She said, slowly and slowly again reaching the furry white ball. Her hands caressing the white fur with all diligence and carefulness, keeping check that in no way she hurt it.
This time the little rabbit didn't flinch. It rather stayed still, letting the girl touch her. Its ears twisting with a heartbeat pattern, accepting the love and care the innocent heart was giving to it.
"Mama, this is so soft. She is letting me touch her now. Does that mean it has accepted me as her friend". WeiWei turned to her mother, asking her with a glimmering shine in her eyes while lips pulled in a smile
A smile crept on its own to Li Xue's when she looked at her daughter like that. "Didn't I say that no one would be able to reject you? So here, how could this little body dare? She has chosen you at the very first glance, that's why has come to you. So what do you think now?"
"That means now White Ears and I are friends?" WeiWei chimed with excitement as she caressed a few times on the back of the rabbit and then looked at her mother and father. "Mama, Daddy Angel, meet my new friend White Ears". She introduced it like their friendship was not something that has been established a few moments ago, rather has been there for years now.
Shaking her head in nothingness, Li Xue exchanged her gaze with the man but then paused, as her brows tugged together. Reverting her gaze back to her daughter, she asked, "Who is White Ears?"
And WeiWei instantly smiled and gestured her gaze down. "My new friend, Mama. Since she is my new friend and her ears are so beautifully white, I named her White Ears." She explained as she bowed her height a little low to reach the ears of the little rabbit to ask, "Do you like your new name? You can tell me if you don't like it. WeiWei will change it to something more of your choice".
She said and Li Xue could not help but think that with just a pet around, her daughter felt to look like more and more adult.
"Mama, I think I can hold it now." Suddenly Little Li Wei decided as she forwarded her arms forward to take the little ball of fur in her hands and Li Xue also did not hesitate in giving it to her.
"Here, you go sweetie. Hold it carefully. It is still a bunny the same as you. You will need to take care of it from today on". The mother guided and in response Li Wei only nodded, scared to voice out her words. Her all focus was fixed on the little bunny in her hand, trying her best to keep her arms comfortable so that the little round figure doesn't get any discomfort.
But just when Li Xue removed her arms from underneath, giving the complete hold to her, Li Wei staggered, getting unbalanced on her footing. A fearful yelp of hurting the bunny left her lips as her eyes went to droop close on its own but before anything could happen, a strong pair of arms came to balance everything back to the original state. Li Xue also stared on. She was too shocked at the situation to help.
Luckily the man was there to save the situation. Though even fallen there wouldn't have been any physical damage to her princess, still seeing that she wasn't able to take care of the bunny well, she might have become fearful of holding it for the rest of her life. Fortunately, the situation was saved.
Her eyes went to look at the man on his knees, who had securely wrapped one arm around the little daughter while with the other supported her arms to hold the bunny properly.
"Are you fine?" Feng Shufen asked, looking at the little girl. His eyes, scanning to check even the slightest sign of discomfort or pain in her eyes.
But Little WeiWei shook her head. "Nope, Daddy angel, I am fine. I was scared that I hurt White Ears in my arms". She said as slowly but grimly she looked down at the cause of her stumbling. Her lips pouted at the sight of several small rabbits at her foot, rubbing their head to her legs for her attention. Not only rabbits there were a few squirrels around as well.
"Young Li'l Miss, if that one rabbit doesn't choose you. Don't worry, there are many others you can choose from. There are also many other animals here. They will come out slowly when they see you staying here for longer". Du Fan said, walking back with a few other rabbits and squirrels, following from behind. His eyes gradually moved to look at his Young Master.
But something in the expressions of the two doesn't feel right. Did he do something wrong? His eyes darted to look at the little furry figure in the little girl's arms.
Huh? The bunny was already in the little princess's arms. Does that mean she has already chosen her pet and he brought the others uselessly here?
