On the evening of the 21st, Ye Zi made plans over and over again in his mind, and was too excited, causing insomnia all night.

On the 22nd, it snowed heavily. It was as gloomy as night. The biting wind blew against the glass windows, and the sound of branches being broken from time to time came.

On this day, Ye Zi would come to the window from time to time, wipe the fog from the window, look out the window, and pray in his heart that the snow would stop soon. But the snow not only did not stop, but also became heavier and heavier, as if it was about to turn into a blizzard.

After lunch, the rabbit sat on the soft sofa, peeled an apple, divided it into small pieces, put it in a transparent glass bowl, and placed it in front of Ye Zi. Ye Zi obediently inserted a toothpick into a small piece of apple, picked it up and ate it into his mouth. As soon as his teeth fell into the flesh, he heard a crisp sound, and sweet juice overflowed in his mouth.

The rabbit took a sip of milk and tilted his head to stare at Ye Zi eating apples. There was a rippling light in his pale iris. He had no idea what he was thinking.

Ye Zi looked at the rabbit's eyes in a daze, then instantly shifted his gaze, his heart pounding. They obviously experienced such scenes every day, and he knew that rabbits always like to see him like this. After all, for rabbits, every move seems to be very interesting. But today is different... He is afraid that rabbits know his plan and that rabbits find clues.

Fortunately, the rabbit didn't make things difficult for him. A few minutes later, the rabbit took out a book from many collections of poems on the coffee table and started reading. He said: "The snow is so heavy, it seems that we can't go hunting today..."

Ye Zi said: "The snow will stop."

The rabbit's eyes were curved: "You just want to go hunting? It's so cold that animals may not come out."

"When the snow stops, the animals will come out."

"What animal does Azi want to hunt?"

"rabbit."

"Bunny."

The rabbit smiled and said, "I happened to see a poem called "Rabbit". It was written by the Japanese female poet Toshiko Hirata. I read it many years ago and it was really well written."

"oh."

"A Zi isn't interested?"

“…what was talking about?”

"It's just a very ordinary hunting story about fox hunting rabbits. Come and see."

As the rabbit said, he handed the poetry collection to Ye Zi, yawned himself, turned over and found a disc from the drawer, and started playing it. It was a religious music that Ye Zi was very familiar with and liked very much. The moment the melody was broadcast, it covered all the noisy sounds outside. This was the first time that the rabbit played this song.

The moment the beautiful melody poured into the eardrums, it made people feel the urge to cry.

It seems that at such a moment, the humid, narrow, and dark room became a church, and the noisy sounds in the corner were drowned by music. All the pains and thrills experienced over the years turned into shadows of dreams, and all the haze split into countless pieces in the holy light, floating in the rose morning glow, turning into ashes...

Ye Zi knows what such music symbolizes.

Rebirth, hope and blessings for the afterlife.

What a pure and wonderful music.

Ye Zi looked at the people around him and felt more and more sarcastic.

Ye Chengxi, how can a terrible person like you be qualified to like such holy music?

The rabbit seemed to have no idea of ​​Ye Zi's hatred and asked softly: "Do you like it?"

Ye Zi did not answer.

The rabbit didn't seem to expect the answer, but just whispered: "I'm sleepy, can I lie on you?"

Before Ye Zi could answer, the rabbit fell down, rested his head on Ye Zi's thighs, and wrapped it with a blanket on his body.

"I have always wanted to sleep like this, it's really comfortable." The rabbit's furry head swayed on Ye Zi's legs, smiling like a child. After a long time of fluttering, it seemed that he finally found the most suitable position. He lay on Ye Zi's legs, leaned obliquely on the soft sofa, and finally closed his eyes, "A Zi, stop and call me."

The rabbit slept like this for an afternoon.

Ye Zi was also sleeping and dreaming while the music was constantly circulating.

He had many dreams, many depressing dreams. In the dream, he was constantly chasing someone, but he would never catch up with him.

He was inexplicably in pain, his heart was extremely painful, and he cried in his dreams, sobbing could even wake him up.

When he woke up, he found himself in disbelief that he was already in tears.

After looking at the time, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the rabbit's breathing was still stable and he was still sleeping.

I was thirsty, so I drank some water, thinking that I should go and see if the snow had stopped, but I didn't want to move.

Ye Zi felt that he was very strange, but in fact he couldn't understand himself.

He obviously hates rabbits so much.

But when the rabbit is lying on his lap and sleeping, he will feel happy at certain moments?!

He had clearly seen the rabbit's face, countless times, countless times.

But at this moment, he actually had an impulse countless times. He wanted to look at this person's face quietly, remember every expression of his face, remember the temperature of his breathing, remember his weight, remember the appearance of his eyelashes trembling...

He obviously hoped that the snow would stop this morning...

And now, he began to be afraid of the snow... very scared...

In the dark, there seemed to be a voice telling him-

Wrong! Wrong!

Stop!

Stop!!

Stop at this moment!

Isn't it good to forget those meaningless hatreds and let everything stop at this moment? Isn't it good???

...

……wrong……

wrong!!

Ye Zi moved the rabbit away, stood up, and grabbed his hair with his fingers.

He paced back and forth, his lips shaking, and he muttered to himself in a blur.

‘Ye Zi, what’s wrong with you?’

‘You forgot what you were going to do today?’

‘You don’t want freedom anymore?’

'You forgot the old couple who died that day? Forgot what he said? If this continues, you may be killed by him?'

‘Your family, your future, you don’t want it anymore? Do you want to be locked up here forever?’

‘You were defeated like this??’

After more than ten minutes, Ye Zi calmed down again.

He came to the window, opened a crack, and saw that the corner of his mouth gradually rose.

The snow stopped and the sun came out.

※※※

The two went out to hunt at dusk.

Rose-colored light sprinkled from the cracks of the dark clouds. Tiny snowflakes floated in the soft beam of light. With light gold and orange light gradually expanded, it didn't take long to render the entire white world.

The rabbit led a dark horse toward Ye Zi with a smile on his face.

Ye Zi looked at the rabbit walking towards him with a dizzy look.

The rabbit was wearing a black down jacket, a silver-gray scarf, a pure white sweater, light gray trousers, and linen boots. His face was fair and slightly longer, and he looked like a golden illusion in the sun.

The horse sneezes a few times. He smiled and patted the horse, then looked up at Ye Zi: "A Zi, is it cold?"

Ye Zi shook her head.

"The nose is red and red."

As he said this, he took off his scarf without hesitation and came to wrap it around Ye Zi. Ye Zi was extremely moved at this moment. It was obvious that this was something he had been numb for a long time, but he would remember that rabbits usually kept all the delicious food for themselves without hesitation. Without saying anything, they washed everything and cooked the food, and never complained once.

"Why are you looking at me all the time?" asked Tu in confusion.

Ye Zi buried his head and happened to see the old-fashioned hunting gun on the rabbit's back, so he lied: "I don't know how to use the gun yet."

"This is simple, I will teach you." The rabbit jumped onto the horse, and then stretched out his hand to Ye Zi gentlemanly.

Two people rode on horses and ran on the snow.

In order not to fall down, Ye Zi had to hold the rabbit tightly.

The taste of the rabbit was too familiar, so familiar that it made him dizzy, and his eyes were so sore.

At least three times, he forgot his purpose and where he was;

Five times, he wanted to give up and wanted to say to the rabbit: Go back;

There were ten times when he actually wanted to say to the rabbit, I'm sorry, I'm sorry;

There were a hundred times when he wanted to completely carry the person in front of him into his arms and kiss him, and for a long time, he really kissed him.

However, when the rabbit's gunshot rang without warning, he woke up instantly.

At that time, the horse had already stopped, and Ye Zi immediately let go of the rabbit as if he was frightened.

After at least half a minute, he asked softly: "Have you hit?"
