Chapter 78 Chapter 15 Invisibly, he also seemed to be "saved"...

It's raining.

The air was filled with invisible cold damp vapor, carrying with it the sweet smell of earth and grass.

Sheng Qing, who was still asleep, was curled up comfortably in a shelter made of a tree stump. After keenly sensing the temperature change outside, he did not move, but just lazily spit out his tongue.

Judging from the humidity of the water vapor, he judged that the rain should have just started and would not last long. It would stop at dawn at most.

Hope for good weather.

Shengqing still had his eyes closed, his soft body curled up in a ball and moved slightly, then returned to calm.

.

In a luxuriously decorated bedroom, an ecological tank is placed near the bed, which is out of tune with the overall environment.

The length of the tank almost occupies the entire wall. A precise temperature and humidity detector is installed outside the tank. The interior of the tank is in the style of a subtropical monsoon woodland, with winding thick tree trunks and vines, large areas of ferns, and mini tree also trees. Three small seeds under the thick base material have already explored the humus layer.

A tall figure stood beside the giant vivarium. His head bowed, his gaze fixed on a small treehouse nestled inside the tank, near the rainforest.

The location is very hidden, and people standing next to it can't see anything. Even if you put your face close to the top of the eco-tank, you can only see a little bit of blurry pink and white.

The tall figure remained motionless, his hands constantly sliding the screen on the tablet. The images in every corner of the ecological tank were densely packed together, and the images kept switching with the movements of a pair of big hands.

He was watching the replay of the entire night.

This was the third night since the little snake was placed in the ecological tank. The man watched with interest as the little snake patrolled every corner of the ecological tank, inspected each of the large and small hiding houses he had set up, and finally chose the smallest tree stump with great care.

The little snake seems to have its own aesthetic.

Speaking of which, most people think of snakes as dark, cold-blooded, ferocious and cruel creatures, but Shengqing has nothing to do with these words.

Looking back on my observations of Shengqing Snake's appearance over the past few days, it is simply a weak, vulnerable, and super timid little cutie.

Most of the time, they look dull and lazy. They are very curious and like to explore their territory. Once they find a place they like, they will curl up into a ball. Even if they are scared, they will just shake their tail, hiss to scare people, or play dead...

How can you be so well behaved?

A very light laugh sounded in the quiet room.

＊

The minute hand on the wall clock ticked away, and before I knew it, it was daylight.

The raindrops outside gradually stopped.

The figure next to the ecological tank maintained the same posture for an unknown period of time until the pink and white object in the surveillance camera finally moved.

The aroma of food, accompanied by the familiar ringing of an alarm clock, filled the room. This was the scene Shengqing saw when he crawled out of the shelter:

An enlarged human face.

The man stared at the little snake's every move without blinking, but Shengqing, who was being closely watched, was not surprised by the man's behavior.

It habitually raised its little head and shook it slightly towards humans as a greeting.

Climb out of the shelter, crawl over the extremely smooth sunken logs, crawl over a patch of moist and soft moss, and finally stop at the dining spot.

It was an extremely flat stone slab, but like other landscape features in the ecological tank, almost all sharp edges and corners were artificially polished, and the edges and corners were very rounded.

The man held a small, brightly colored porcelain plate in one hand, on which a small, pointed mountain of fragrant food was piled. He gently picked up a piece of tender and delicious raw meat with tweezers and fed it to the little snake's head, waiting until it had bitten it before letting go.

One, two, three...

Snakes do not need to chew their food like humans do; they bite the food and swallow it raw.

Yan Hao could even clearly see how the food slid into the snake's belly, how its scales tightened and stretched as it swallowed, and finally how a small bulge appeared in the middle of the snake's body...

The man's fingers were itching to press it, but he suppressed this evil thought and waited quietly for the snake to finish digesting it before respectfully feeding the fourth piece of food to its lips.

He really enjoyed the process.

The little snake was fed piece after piece until it was fed an unknown number of pieces. Then it turned its head away, showing obvious refusal to eat.

"Why don't you eat?" Yan Hao was a little anxious. He continued to pick up food and move it closer to the little snake's head. "Come on, eat some more..."

People were muttering to themselves.

"You're so small now. How will you grow if you don't eat more? Don't you like pigeon meat? How about this venison?"

The red deer from New Zealand has a unique flavor and extremely high nutritional value. To ensure freshness, it is sent on an expedited route. When it is delivered to the chef of Mingyue Bay, the blood is still dripping, and some of the active nerve fibers are still throbbing until it is cut into strips as thick as a thumb.

Sheng Qing didn't know what had happened behind the scenes. Looking at the giant human in his sight, he was just a little bit uncomfortable.

When he was in the form of a snake man, I only thought that Yan Hao was taller than ordinary people. Now that he has turned into a snake seedling, I think he is taller and bigger.

With his tall figure, broad shoulders and full chest muscles, just standing in front of the eco-box, he looked like a towering mountain, casting a large shadow covering most of the eco-box.

Looking at the food being fed to his lips, Shengqing turned his head away, his thin tail shaking gently, and occasionally slapping the ground.

——This is to say that enough is enough.

Yan Hao had no experience in raising snakes before, and he didn't know that ordinary small snakes actually don't have a big appetite, especially young snakes. After being fed a small mouse, they will not eat for several days.

Sheng Qing's appetite was already very large, but even so, he had just eaten two whole plates of meat strips without realizing it.

It’s indeed too many.

The inherited memory told Shengqing that although he needed to eat a lot of food at this stage, he really couldn't eat anymore, and he had more important things to do.

In that strange heat wave, not only did my body experience growth, but my mind was also filled with many familiar yet unfamiliar things.

He had to take his time to absorb it bit by bit.

In the past three days, he has learned how to control his body size and has a vague sense of how to change into human form, but he is still not very skilled in maintaining it for a long time.

Maybe it will be fine in a few days.

The well-fed little snake sapling yawned and slowly moved towards the direction with the most water in the air. Soon, he arrived at a crystal-clear artificial pool.

The little snake soaked its entire body comfortably in it, with only its small head poking out of the water and drooping on the raised edge.

The mountain-like figure was still standing outside, but he no longer held the tweezers in his hand. He began to get into work mode.

——From the day the eco-box was installed, the desk above the eco-box was also set up. This made it extremely convenient for people to handle their work and also made it easier for him to keep an eye on the little snake at all times.

Of course, the same is true in reverse. Shengqing can vaguely see the side profile of a person just by tilting his head.

However, he seldom did this. After all, he only needed to spit out his tongue to collect pheromones in the air. He could not only accurately determine the direction of humans, but also clearly smell their emotions.

For example, when making or receiving a phone call, the smell of a person will change, but as long as the person stays with him for a while, or looks at him a few more times, the bitter smell will become weaker and weaker, and will gradually be wrapped in a sweet smell.

Including now...

It's sweet.

The crisp sound of keyboard tapping and the occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other and turning pages lingered in Shengqing's ears, and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

After sleeping for a while, the little snake woke up and saw an enlarged human face again.

Seeing the little snake wake up, he could hardly wait to open the lid of the eco-box, put his hand into the box, and guide the little snake to climb up his arm along his fingers.

Sheng Qing, who had just woken up, curled up on the human's wrist in a daze, feeling the warm touch under his skin. He knew where the human was taking him.

Although the eco-box has a very realistic sunlight mode installed inside, people still prefer to take it out to bask in the real sun.

After basking in the sun and being fed, it was almost afternoon. People began to deal with the thick stack of work brought by Butler Li, and the little snake struggled to stick out its little head and came over to look at the documents with people.

The man noticed Snake's actions, but did not stop him. Instead, he lovingly moved the paper containing all the secrets towards the little snake.

But how could Snake understand this...

His round eyes moved around the Chinese characters twice, and he felt that the characters were like dazzling spots of light in the sun. After a while, he felt dizzy and drooped his head.

After Yan Hao finished tinkering with some plans, he turned around and found that the little snake was coiled beside his workbench. It had grown a little bigger, from the size of a snake seedling as thick as a thumb to a snake as thick as an arm.

He was lying on a book.

The book was the early childhood enlightenment comic book that he had been reading to him halfway through. It was clearly closed before, but now the pages were opened, and it happened to be the last few pages that he had been reading to him before.

I don't know how it opened.

Imagine the little snake using its head to push open the title page and turning the pages one by one, and then look at the little snake coiled into a pink and white round circle in front of you.

He seemed to be asleep, his head buried in his abdomen, his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and his pink and white scales glowing like pearls in the light.

Yan Hao stood up quietly and touched its slightly cool scales lightly with his fingertips. The little guy didn't wake up, but rubbed towards the warmth.

He fetched a soft cashmere blanket and carefully covered the snake with it before sitting back in front of the documents.

It was strange that the snake did nothing, it just lay there quietly and slept, but Yan Hao felt an indescribable warmth in his chest, and all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

Every time this happened, he would fall into deep thought. Although he was the savior in name, in reality, he was the one who relied more on the little snake.

Because of Shengqing, his gray life in the past began to be dyed with vivid colors. For the first time, he had someone to care about, and for the first time he experienced the feeling of a faster heartbeat.

Invisibly, he seemed to be "saved".
