A sound ripped through the air.
Little White Fox's tail lashed toward the white snake.
Xiao Xiao caught Little White Fox by the tail.
"A Jiu."
He shook his head.
Then he said, "I'm fine."
"A Bai."
Xiao Xiao flicked the white snake on the head.
"Don't be naughty."
The white snake shook its head.
It had just felt like doing it...
As expected... it didn't do much...
The white snake was a little disappointed.
Xiao Xiao looked at the man.
"Are you all right?"
"Sorry."
"A Bai can be a little naughty."
"It's fine, it's fine."
The man straightened up.
His face flushed red.
Why did he feel like... that little white snake had been mocking him just now?
How could that be?
The thought flashed through his mind and vanished.
The man laughed at himself for imagining things.
"I'm heading home."
The man smiled at Xiao Xiao.
After working overtime so late and being startled twice by the white snake, he was even more eager to get home.
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded. "See you."
"See you."
The man unconsciously glanced at the young man's wrist once more.
This time, the white snake had its eyes closed.
Its jade-white body glowed with a soft luster.
It was nothing like the gloomy, cold-blooded snakes he remembered.
Was it because this one was a pet snake?
The man wondered.
He could understand, a little, why people kept snakes as pets.
Of course, only a little.
When Xiao Xiao got home, the Xiao Family were sitting under the plum tree to escape the heat.
"Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Grandmother called to him. "Come have some watermelon."
"Today's watermelon is really sweet."
"Coming."
Xiao Xiao smiled and walked over.
The new semester began.
"Time really flies."
