Come Eat Mr. Bunny Rabbit

“Mr. xiao’Wen.”

Ms. xiao’Bai winked at him.

The thin-faced Wen Ming turned his face.

It was like this- yesterday after school at the nursery, Ms. xiao’Bai who was going back home just bumped into him and Jiang Rui at the main gate.

At that time, she felt that Wen Ming seemed to have something going on.

Well well, today, once she got the chance, she asked the person himself.

Today, the two class’ children just so happened to be together for an outdoor class. After Wen Ming lead them through a game, it was time for free activity. At this time, he and Ms. xiao’Bai sat to the side of their small playground, and watched the children playing not far off together.

They say that paper could not cover fires. Wen Ming did predict that there would be a day the fire of his own relationship could not be hidden, but he did not think it would be this fast.

Seeing how Wen Ming did not have that kind of reaction someone denying it should have for a long time, Ms. xiao’Bai secretly laughed, isn’t this admitting to it?

Yesterday, when she just saw that person by Mr. xiao’Wen’s side, the first reaction was to freeze.

S-so tall.

The person Mr. xiao’Wen found was not normal as expected. When Jiang Rui who was not far off turned his face over, her mental activity turned into “so handsome”.

“But,” The feelings after her saw them yesterday was in a floating state, “I think I saw he was still wearing a, uh, school uniform, was it?”

As Ms. xiao’Bai spoke to the end, the voice got quieter. One could feel that she was very carefully waiting for Wen Ming’s reply.

Only to see that Wen Ming first paused for a moment, then, nodded his head.

“They’re already an adult now.” He obstinately added a line.

Ms. xiao’Bai directly was so excited she covered her mouth.

That’s right! The one she saw was a high school student!

Mr. xiao’Wen—— su-per incredible!

Truth be told, wasn’t Wen Ming always going on blind dates for a while before? Long before yesterday, Ms. xiao’Bai was still thinking Mr. xiao’Wen was the type to find a honest person in the future to be together and go through some peaceful days.

Mr. xiao’Wen was unexpectedly very open-minded!

Ms. xiao’Bai, after knowing the answer, held in her excited feelings, then saw Wen Ming’s profile, and emotionally said, “Mr. xiao’Wen, you ordinary-looking love genius.”

“En?” It was the first time Wen Ming talked about his own love in front of someone, and his expression appeared a bit awkward. He looked at the bunch of kids not far off, and said, “I feel like he is still too young.”

“Young is good!” Ms. xiao’Bai looked to be even more excited than Wen Ming, “Mr. xiao’Wen, you are lucky.”

Wen Ming looked at her expression that was very contagious at this time, and his face could not help but smile too.

So it was like this. Talking to others about his own love was this kind of feeling. Wen Ming who experienced this for the first time felt it was novel.

He was also a person with a boyfriend now.

Ms. xiao’Bai was still making a comment, “They really aren’t young! Or is it to say, Mr. xiao’Wen, you don’t like those younger than you?”

Wen Ming watched the group of children playing not far off, thought for it a bit, and hesitantly said, “It’s not like that……”

“Then why? Could it be because of a rebellious phase? No way?”

“It’s not like that.” Regarding this, Wen Ming did not know how he should explain it to her.

He discovered that his own thoughts when facing Jiang Rui, simply speaking, was much more like that of raising a child. Because since the beginning when he met Jiang Rui, they were interacting in that kind of way. Furthermore, after being accustomed to it, it was much harder to change it.

The way he interacted with Jiang Rui should be a bit different from normal couples.

Wen Ming believed this himself.

Clearly, this was different from the image of being in love that he fantasized before.

He deliberately expressed, “After all, the difference in age is still there. Sometimes I feel, I’m not sure if I’m the one not mature enough or if it’s him……”

“Mr. xiao’Wen.”

Ms. xiao’Bai shook her head with experience, and gave him an comforting gaze, “I understand, boyfriends are this kind of organism. Sometimes it feels like you’re raising a son, right?”

These words immediately reached the bottom of Mr. xiao’Wen’s heart.

Wen Ming discovered, on this topic of love, he and Ms. Xiao’Bai actually had much to talk about unexpectedly. Seeing as Wen Ming seemed to pay attention to her words, Ms. xiao’Bai briefly talked about her own love story with him.

From friends to something ambiguous, then to a kiss on the cheek to confirm their relationship.

And what Wen Ming meant was, how did other people progress, can he and Jiang Rui also do the same, find a formula for it.

Ms. xiao’Bai was still preaching to him, “…… Of course, it was me who was the assertive one. This kind of thing of having victory is assured, actually is done step by step. Eh, just like, look, before a rocket launches to the sky, isn’t there a countdown to ignition?”

As expected, he and Jiang Rui were not like others. Wen Ming thought.

They did not go through those steps like lighting the fire- they directly went up to the sky. Once they approached, he’d get bit in the mouth.

There were none of these cushions like holding hands- it seems like he has never kissed Jiang Rui’s cheek either.

Wen Ming turned his face to stop a child from taking their jacket off. He imagined it in his mind for a bit- if he controlled his embarrassment to kiss the side of Jiang Rui’s face, what would it look like.

He would assertively get close to Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui did not sense it.

Wen Ming would get closer and closer, up until his lips were by his face.

Wen Ming then retreats.

Jiang Rui still would not look at him, his expression seemed to still not change, but the originally deep-wheat skin would lightly emerge with a layer of pink.

……

Would his face go red?

Wen Ming wanted to see it quite a bit.

And yet it was no good. Simply by imagining the picture of himself taking the initiative to get close Jiang Rui’s face, his heart would already start to go dokidoki.

“Mr. xiao’Wen, you just said there was a date tonight, right?” Ms. Xiao’Bai asked him.

“En,” Wen Ming said, “To see a movie.”

It was the first date outside after they started dating.

Wen Ming suggested it. Jiang Rui gifted him a flower, so he had to give a present back.

Ms. Xiao’Bai still wanted to say something, but at this time, their class’ child-care worker was not far off calling for her, it seems like there was a phone call from a parent. She had to first stop, and briefly asked Wen Ming to watch her class’ kids together, and she would come back as fast as possible.

Wen Ming had her go at ease.

As Ms. xiao’Bai left, she also gave him a fighting.

Wen Ming smiled as he turned back to watch the children.

Because the other teacher left, xiao’Yao immediately ran up to him, and opened his arms wanting a hug. Wen Ming fulfilled his wish.

At the same time, a horned little cutie from the other class was quietly getting close to him.

Once Wen Ming turned he head, he saw this robust little chubby block.

Probably a cow- Scotland’s Highland cattle, also famously known as the fluffy cow and the emo cow- its name came from how when young, it had four corgi-like short legs and a body full of thick fur, but after growing up, they would turn into a sturdy, swift and fierce big cloven-hooved animal.

They were also a little girl.

Xiao’Niu stood by his side for a bit, then slowly opened her mouth to ask Wen Ming, “Teacher, are you called Little Strawberry?”

Wen Ming was all smiles, “That’s right. Is there something?”

The little calf shook her head, but her reaction was not like this, her little expression said she wanted to say something.

Wen Ming then asked, “What is it? Is there something wrong with Little Strawberry?”

Seems like a slightly timid little girl. Wen Ming waited for a bit again, and she then continued on.

“Only gentle girls would be called little strawberries.” She very carefully looked at Wen Ming’s face. Seeing how his expression did not have any bad changes to it, and was still patiently waiting for herself to continue on, she then dared to add, “Only little girls like strawberries.”

Wen Ming, “Do I seem like a girl?”

“No.”

Wen Ming innocently looked at her, “But I also like strawberries.”

“……” Xiao’Niu was speechless.

“And so, reality proves, a tall boy like Teacher would also like strawberries.” Wen Ming said with a smile.

The little kid in front seemed to not be convinced.

But she hesitated again, and did not open her mouth. Under Wen Ming’s silent encouragement, after a good while, then muttered, “But that would be sissy, a pervert.”

Before finishing, xiao’Yao who was in Wen Ming’s arms started baring his teeth.

Wen Ming used one of his hands to cover over xiao’Yao’s waving fist, and asked the little kid in front, “…… Who said that?”

The little kid did not know who said it either, and slowly answered, “Them.”

Wen Ming thought about it for a bit.

“They only said it because they never saw a boy who liked strawberries. Because look, aren’t there very few boys who would say to everyone that they like strawberries around us?”

“So we must stand out more, and say it loud and proud to everyone, I like strawberries. Everyone can like strawberries.”

“Don’t be afraid to say it out loud. Because if more people say it, will then everyone understand—— oh, turns out there are also boys who likes strawberries and pink in this world too, and similarly, there are also girls who like robots and cars too, turns out everyone is not that much different from each other.”

Seeing as how she was still a bit hesitant, Wen Ming continued to speak, “Don’t be afraid. If there is anyone who says something bad about you, you tell them, our little Mr. Strawberry is a tall boy, and he likes strawberries.”

The children of the nursery were currently in a stage where they worshipped and copied teachers. And so little Strawberry Wen Ming’s presence would be her biggest backer.

From the beginning, he actually could have chosen to be called Big Brother Tree, Big Brother Kang’kang(strong/healthy). However, Wen Ming wanted to leave this kind of impression when they were young, that there was a big and tall male teacher called Little Strawberry, and so this thing was not that strange in the first place. A person did not have anything that they “should” like.

This was the reason why he was little Mr. Strawberry.

This time, his words successfully appeased xiao’Niu.

The little kid seemed to have her heart’s knot undone. Of course, she did not understand the reasoning that much, but the biggest reason she felt eased was that little Mr. Strawberry was going to back her up.

Wen Ming stroked her head, “Go on and like what you want to like.”

She revealed a sweet smile to Wen Ming, the cheeks had cute small dimples, extremely relieving.

Wen Ming also smiled, At this time, xiao’Yao who was in his arms innocently asked, “Teacher, what kind of animal is she?”

Today, xiao’Yao was quite friendly to his classmates. Wen Ming lowered his head to answer, “Scotland Highland cattle. Xiao’Niu(cow).”

Xiao’Yao pretended he did it on accident, “Oh, xiao’Niu, then is she a catt….mm!”

Wen Ming covered over his mouth in the next second.

It just had to be at this time that xiao’Yao’s wise voice suddenly appeared by the side, “Then is she a cow?”

What kind of terrible words are these[1].

“Don’t call your classmates that.” Wen Ming got scared by his words, and each hand covered over each child’s mouth, he tried to guide them gently, “Look, Teacher here normally calls you xiao’Yao, calls him xiao’Ha, so what should you call your classmate?”

Call them xiao’Niu! Xiao’Niu! Rectify it! Rectify it!

Add a “xiao”!

Xiao’Yao, in the second he got released said, “Hey, are you called a small cattle or small cow?”

Wen Ming: It can’t be rectified anymore, just put your heads down and apologize.

Xiao’Yao might not understand the meaning behind this word, and randomly just said it. As for xiao’Ha, there was no need to say anything.

Because Wen Ming’s side was very lively, unknowingly, a circle of kids gathered with them three at the centre. All of them came over to liven it up, and among them, there was their class one and Ms. xiao’Bai’s class too.

Everyone reached out with their small hands to touch the cattle’s not-yet-grown horns on their head.

Wen Ming also felt that her pair of horns were very cool, just like a devil’s horns. The little kids surrounded her in a circle and chattered away:

“Teacher, their class two is a very mysterious class.

“Your class’ dame was taught by our class’ xiao’Yuan.”

Class two also has a 2D monkey[2]?

“Their class two also has a dragon!”

Wen Ming was also surprised. How did these rumours all spread, why did the genre gradually turn all mystical, this was definitely impossible.

He asked, “What kind of dragon?”

Because he asked this, this group of little kids enthusiastically went to find that dragon immediately, and pushed him to the front of Wen Ming.

The little kid who was pushed forward was very proud of his own bloodline, and said with a puffed chest, “My mom calls me a bony dragon[3].”

Wen Ming choked, “Ah.”

Case closed, it was a Guangdong dragon.

He had them go back to free activities unable to cry nor laugh..
