Chapter 6: The Starving Rabbit

What on earth are you eating

Just as Jian Heng felt a bit guilty, the rabbit bit off a piece of wood from the base of the coat rack and began to chew it right in front of Jian Heng. It chewed effortlessly, as if it were eating cake, and it did not seem at all like it was eating hardwood.

Upon thinking of this, Jian Heng began to wash up, contemplating hurrying to the supermarket to buy some carrots or something similar. At the very least, he could get some cabbage for the rabbit to eat. Not to mention what others would think if they saw him, even Jian Heng himself would believe he was mistreating the animal.

Just as Jian Heng was about to express his opinion, he finally discovered what the rabbit was continuously gnawing on. He couldn't see it clearly from the front just now, but now Jian Heng understood that the rabbit was eating the coat rack at the entrance by his door

Soon, Jian Heng realized that although he had lost the list, heaven had given him a tremendous compensation by granting him an invincible alternate space

Animal abuse is no small matter in the United States

Only after picking up the rabbit did Jian Heng realize that the rabbit cage had already been bitten through by this fellow, so he had no choice but to put it back down and turned around to directly enter the space.

He reached out and lightly tapped his head. In the past, Jian Heng could not sleep for such a long time; at most, he would get up after six or seven hours to start his work. However, today he had slept for far too long.

Jian Hengyi thought that since it had already been chewed to this extent, he might as well take the time to sell a new one to the landlord; for now, he would just let it be.

It seemed that the rabbit heard Jian Heng talking to himself. It paused for a moment, raised its head, and glanced at Jian Heng a few times. Then, it jumped down from the kitchen windowsill and ran to Jian Heng's feet. Just as Jian Heng was looking a bit dazed, the rabbit immediately jumped back, leaping onto the countertop that was several dozen centimeters high, and directly grabbed the unfinished cactus in its mouth, dragging it back to Jian Heng's feet to continue eating.

Of course, the greater difference is that the rabbit has become fat, or rather, it has become extremely fat

Rabbit? Are you trying to ascend to the heavens!

As he thought about work, Jian Heng instinctively reached for his notebook. Just as he lifted himself off the sofa, he suddenly remembered that his client list no longer belonged solely to him

Reaching out to touch the rabbit, I found that although it was thin, it seemed to have a bit of muscle; upon touching it, there was no hard bony feeling.

Jianheng felt a bit ashamed, so he picked up a carrot and brought it to the rabbit's mouth. The rabbit's three-part mouth moved a few times and quickly began to chew on the carrot

As soon as the crystal ball turned completely dark, Jian Heng took a bowl of water and placed it in front of the rabbit. The rabbit did not hesitate at all and directly drank all the water in the bowl.

In the following moments, Jian Heng began to fixate on the rabbit, and at that time, the rabbit also started to stare back at Jian Heng. The pet and its owner engaged in a silent standoff, akin to a fierce confrontation, for nearly five to six minutes. Jian Heng, unable to endure the tension any longer, directly turned on the television, sat down on the sofa, and began watching, preparing to wait for the results a few hours later

At this moment, the rabbit had completely lost the plumpness it had the previous night, now appearing gaunt and emaciated, one could say it was nothing but skin and bones, as if all the fat it had last night had been expelled along with its droppings

After speaking, Jian Heng swiftly entered the space, began to scoop out water that was half dark and half light, and once again fed the rabbit. This time, Jian Heng calmed himself and started to observe carefully. Thus, the rabbit continued to engage in this mutual gaze with Jian Heng. For several hours, the two of them, one person and one rabbit, maintained this watch. Jian Heng was unsure about the rabbit's feelings, but he himself was seeing stars with his eyes.

Jian Heng came to his senses, shook his head, and dismissed the somewhat absurd thought from his mind. Instinctively, he wanted to catch the rabbit and put it back in the cage so that he could go into the space and fetch some of the fully depleted water to feed the rabbit, continuing the experiment to see whether the translations by the Englishman were indeed reliable.

Jian Heng tugged at his pants and squatted down to closely observe the rabbit. At that moment, the rabbit also seemed to be looking at Jian Heng, its red eyes infused with a unique brilliance. Jian Heng felt as if he could see the joy and gratitude emanating from the rabbit's heart.

Suddenly, Jian Heng felt as if he had nothing to do, and this feeling made him a bit anxious. For Jian Heng, who was alone and had impulsively come to the United States, having nothing to do meant going hungry, or worse!

Seeing the clock on the wall, Jian Heng was still somewhat in disbelief. He checked his phone again and realized that it was indeed already noon of the following day

Under Jianheng's gaze, the rabbit gnawed the cactus down to its very roots, leaving nothing behind! Not even a single root hair remained!

I prepared a bowl of oatmeal for myself and placed it in the microwave to heat. During this time, Jianheng took the opportunity to jump into the shower for a quick wash. When he came out, the oatmeal was just ready. He took out some skim milk from the refrigerator and mixed it in, causing the originally scalding hot oatmeal to cool down immediately, resulting in a perfectly warm bowl of oatmeal with a hint of milk fragrance.

Eat this, stop gnawing on the wood

It is important to note that the coat rack placed at the entrance of the Jianheng family home is made of solid wood. The United States has abundant forest resources, and while solid wood is not particularly expensive, this item is made from dry timber. Moreover, it has been coated with a layer of paint, so one wonders what kind of hunger a rabbit would have to experience to gnaw on such an object

Duh

Upon recalling the space, Jian Heng immediately thought of the rabbit he used for his experiment! Thus, he turned his head and began searching for the rabbit.

The rabbit is still easy to find, this time it is not in the kitchen, but directly in the living room, standing next to the coat rack at the door

However, it is strange that Jian Heng did not notice any changes in the rabbit during the observation. Yet, when Jian Heng finally examined the rabbit, it was no longer the emaciated creature it had been three hours ago, but had instead returned to being a normal rabbit, neither fat nor thin, appearing lively and agile.

Unable to recall the name of this rabbit, Jian Heng had no choice but to refer to it simply as 'rabbit'.

Originally looking like a mere bag of bones, it has now become as round as a ball. If it weren't for the fact that I just saw it leap onto the kitchen counter, Jianheng might have thought that this creature could only roll forward! It is truly a fluffy ball resembling a rabbit!

In less than two minutes, the bowl of porridge was finished. Wiping his mouth, Jian Heng washed the bowl and drove directly to the supermarket

Though it is thin, this creature appears to be in good spirits, not at all resembling one that is on the verge of death in a shelter. It is currently rapidly flipping its three-part mouth, though it is unclear what it is eating.

Seeing the rabbit start to eat the carrots, Jian Heng simply placed all the carrots next to the rabbit, curious to see how much it could eat. In total, there were dozens of pounds. Not to mention the effort it took just to bring them home, Jian Heng exerted a considerable amount of strength, and in terms of volume, the carrots were several times larger than the rabbit.

I can't believe how deeply I slept!

"Go ahead and eat all the carrots!" Jianheng saw the rabbit and felt a bit happy, just as the British notes had described.

Looking down at the rabbit at his feet, Jián Héng then noticed that the areas on the rabbit's body that were originally bare had begun to grow fur. Although it was not very long, it no longer appeared as bald as before, which had been quite nauseating. Now, it could at most be described as having a shaved hairstyle, which, while still unattractive, was at least no longer disgusting

When Jing Heng returned home with dozens of pounds of carrots, the rabbit had already knocked over the coat rack, which meant that the base of the coat rack had been completely gnawed away by this creature

The idea was good, but unfortunately, Jian Heng did not consider it. After watching television for a while, he felt bored, yawned as sleepiness came over him, and with his head tilting, he fell asleep directly. When he opened his eyes again, it was already 10:00 AM the next day, which means Jian Heng had slept for almost 12 hours!
