Chapter 4 Goodnight "Goodnight, little one."

Song Keling knew very well that snakes are cold-blooded animals and cannot understand human emotions.

After a long period of getting along, it may gradually become familiar with your smell, but this does not mean that it will not attack you.

Therefore, after seeing the little snake make a similar response, Song Keling was shocked to the point of freezing. At that moment, her heart pounded heavily.

After all, when she was feeding her at noon today, Qianqian clearly refused.

However, this strange palpitation did not last long.

The next moment, Song Keling saw the little snake, with its little head pressed against her fingertips through the scum box, open its mouth. What a "bloody mouth", revealing the pink and tender flesh in its mouth and a row of small teeth.

Song Keling: “.”

Oh, it turns out he didn’t want to get close to her, he wanted to eat her.

Did he have such a big appetite? He had just caught a baby mouse, and it had already swelled up to this extent, even wanting to eat her?

Song Keling smiled.

She tapped the box with her fingertips, didn't bother with this inhuman and ungrateful little thing, said good night to it, then washed up and went to bed.

Get up early the next day.

Song Keling discovered that Qianqian's small body was entrenched in the outer area of ​​the scum box. Surprisingly, the pair of horn scales that disappeared after the operation reappeared.

This proves that Song Keling was not mistaken.

The ones with horned scales are vipers, and if you look closely, when Qianqian breathes, the pure white scales slowly rise and fall with her breathing and stand up slightly, just like a scaly tree viper.

Tree vipers are mostly found in tropical rainforests.

The climate, heat and humidity of Xuetai are relatively consistent.

However, the fact that the living environment conditions are met does not mean that this kind of snake exists in the country.

Was it bought abroad?

Song Keling still couldn't figure it out, but there was no need to figure it out.

Qianqian's coiled posture with its scales erected reminded Song Keling of a bamboo snake she had seen in the wild. At that time, the bamboo snake also coiled up quietly with its scales erected. The instructor said that this was scaling, and that the bamboo snake was using its scales to collect dew and rainwater to drink.

Some venomous snakes will not drink stagnant water.

Song Keling looked at the pudding cup in the scum box, and sure enough, the water had not decreased at all.

"What are you waiting for? It won't rain in your little box." After Song Keling guessed the reason, she looked at the little white snake curled up in a ball. She couldn't help laughing because she could see some anticipation and patience in its posture.

Then she found a small spray bottle, poured out the liquid inside and cleaned it several times, then filled it with mineral water.

The little snake was still sleeping, and it felt "raining" from the sky, and its scales suddenly stood up more vigorously!

Perhaps it was feeling happy, and it even spat out its little black tongue.

Song Keling did not spray too much water, otherwise the humidity in the scum box would be difficult to control, which would easily cause the little snake to suffer from pneumonia during the postoperative recovery period, and the wound would not be easy to recover if it came into contact with water.

When she came back in the afternoon, Song Keling saw the dormitory door wide open from a distance. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickened her pace.

It turned out that my roommate had returned.

Xu Xinlei had just returned to the dormitory. She was exhausted from the past few days and lay on the bed playing with her phone without even taking off her sun protection clothes. When she heard the noise, she looked back and called out, "Ke Ling."

"Yeah." Song Keling responded and walked into the inner room.

The scum box containing the little white snake was placed neatly on the desk. The little snake did not move, but sat quietly in a daze, probably thinking about its snake life.

Song Keling needs to find a piece of cloth.

Judging from the various characteristics and signs known so far, the little snake she rescued was likely poisonous, probably a type of tree viper.

Keeping a poisonous snake in a university dormitory, even if it's just for a few days, can still have a bad impact.

What's more, many people are afraid of snakes, and her roommate is one of them.

Before I knew that her scientific research required her to deal with five-step snakes all day, I rubbed my arms and gave her a thumbs up, saying she was a genius.

Just as Song Keling was looking for a clean T-shirt to cover herself up, her roommate poked his head in without knocking and asked, "Keling, are you going out for dinner later?"

The noise frightened the little snake.

It instantly changed its original crouching posture and swam in an S shape to hide in the corner of the box.

After hiding, it spit out a thin tongue and slightly raised its head, as if using its beautiful vertical pupils to be alert to the surroundings.

Song Keling looked back at her roommate without answering, then turned her gaze to the little snake. She felt a little funny after witnessing the whole process.

Still so timid.

Xu Xinlei at the door followed Song Keling's gaze to the table and saw an extra transparent box. She knew it was a breeding box.

But Song Keling is busy with study and scientific research every day, so how can she have time to raise animals?

Out of curiosity, she walked closer to take a look, then took two steps back in shock, "Oh my god! It's a snake!!"

Song Keling was afraid that Xu Xinlei's sudden start would frighten Qianqian, so she quickly said, "Don't be afraid, its injuries have almost healed. I'll release it on the weekend."

Xu Xinlei paused after hearing this, then looked at the little white snake in the box, her eyes widening in surprise. "Is this the little snake you found on the platform? The one that was crushed by the rock? Did you save it?"

Song Keling: "Yeah."

Xu Xinlei looked at her in shock and admiration: "You are so amazing!"

Song Keling: "It's just the best I can do."

Xu Xinlei praised the snake as she returned to her desk. No longer so frightened, she sat down and took a closer look. "Looking at it this way, it looks much better than before. It looks more energetic and adorable. What kind of snake is it?"

Song Keling said honestly: "I don't know either."

Xu Xinlei: "Is there anything else you don't know?"

"I'm not a professional, so there's a lot I don't know." Song Keling said, and when she saw her roommate trying to turn the box to observe the snake from a different angle, she immediately warned, "Don't play with it, it's poisonous."

Qianqian had just finished eating, and if she was frightened further she would vomit.

Xu Xinlei's scalp tingled when she heard the poisonous words. She pulled her hand back as if she had received an electric shock and jumped up from her chair. "Forget it, forget it. I'm leaving."

When she reached the door, she turned back and said, "Call me for dinner later."

Song Keling: "Yeah."

Xu Xinlei is Song Keling's roommate and classmate, and is from a small county in the south.

She usually spoke with flat and retroflex tongue pronunciation and could not distinguish between front and back nasal sounds, which seemed very strange in Xincheng, but she did not feel embarrassed at all and did not change it. She just spoke as usual.

He is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. He has a small frame, fair skin and almond-shaped eyes.

Her smile is clean and pure, like the girl next door.

She is very good at makeup, and often puts on makeup like she changes her head. She works part-time as an up-host on a certain platform with more than 200,000 fans.

In addition to regularly uploading celebrity makeup imitation videos, she also collects some materials to edit daily vlogs, so she often carries a selfie stick when she goes out.

Some people who don't want to be photographed don't like to walk with Xu Xinlei, for fear that their photos will be posted online and discussed by strangers.

Song Keling doesn't care much about these things.

But Xu Xinlei never took a photo of Song Keling. Fans only knew that she had a roommate with a nice voice, easy-going personality and easy to get along with, but they didn't know what she looked like.

Xu Xinlei certainly has her own considerations.

First of all, Song Keling is good-looking, and she definitely outshines others as soon as she appears in the camera.

Of course, this is not important. The second important thing is that she is afraid that Song Keling's appearance will directly divert the attention of fans, resulting in no traffic in her videos without Song Keling in the future.

Song Keling doesn't have time for these things. She is destined to shine in the field of scientific research in the future.

In the future, the two of them will have less and less interactions, and in his junior year, he might move into the same dormitory with graduate students.

It can be seen from this that it is not advisable to rely on the traffic brought by Song Keling, and it will also be "backfired".

However, while eating, Xu Xinlei suddenly thought, if she couldn't take pictures of Song Keling, was it not okay to take pictures of that pretty little snake?

She went to Xuetai to shoot a vlog this time. The little snake was a point that could arouse the curiosity and attention of fans. What's more, she also filmed the scene of the little snake being pressed under the stone at the beginning.

Nowadays, many internet celebrities fabricate their personalities in order to attract traffic.

And she has a ready-made genius in Song Keling, so she doesn't need to write anything, she can just apply it directly.

Xu Xinlei immediately sought Song Keling's opinion.

Song Keling paused for half a second and refused.

She knew that Xu Xinlei was an up-loader for a certain website, but too much attention online was not a good thing for Qianqian.

What if as soon as she releases the snake, netizens gather to look for it in the mountains?

Xu Xinlei was a little disappointed but not surprised when she saw that Song Keling did not agree.

After dinner, she continued smiling at the camera and said, "Oh, by the way, here's a little Easter egg. On our first day of fieldwork, didn't we find a little white snake that had been crushed by a falling rock? The snake was seriously injured, and our teacher said it probably wouldn't survive. But my roommate brought it back to school and had surgery, and now it's recovering beautifully!"

"That's right, I'm a fool, but my genius roommate knows magic, hahahaha~!"

Song Keling did not go back to the dormitory with Xu Xinlei. She went to the laboratory after dinner.

The senior sisters and brothers were also there, and everyone completed their tasks step by step.

It was almost lights-out time when I returned to the dormitory.

Xu Xinlei was sitting in front of the computer editing a video. She was wearing suspenders and short shorts, and large blue light glasses. One foot was bent on the chair, and her whole body was hunched like a skinny shrimp.

Song Keling didn't disturb her and went back to the inner room.

As soon as the light in the room was turned on, the little snake in the scum box moved.

Seeing this, Song Keling smiled unconsciously, walked over and bent down to greet Qianqian.

The little white snake slowly came out of the box, walked to the outside and raised its neck, then lowered its raised head after a moment, and slowly went back in a very Buddhist and leisurely manner, seemingly just startled by the sudden sound of the light being turned on.

Song Keling observed from the side and made sure that the cat was moving smoothly and recovering well. She put down her bag with confidence and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Song Keling didn't see it. After she turned around and left, the little snake turned its head again and slowly crawled out. Its body climbed up the scum box little by little, holding its slender little body tall.

Then the head and vertical pupils pressed against the small ventilation hole of the scum box, as if looking around curiously.

Song Keling also washed her hair while taking a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, she had changed into a loose and comfortable cotton T-shirt. With a calm expression, she wiped her wet hair with a towel.

She found the hair dryer and heard a "beep, beep" sound outside.

Song Keling glanced at the small clock on the table. Sure enough, the internet and power in the dormitory would be cut off in five minutes.

This is Xu Xinlei’s alarm clock, in case the power goes out while she’s editing a video.

Five minutes is enough for Song Keling to blow-dry her hair.

The hair dryer made very little noise, but Song Keling still stayed away from the desk where the scum box was placed.

I returned to my desk only after drying my hair.

The little snake obviously didn't have much patience. It had been sticking to the air vent and trying to "peek", but now it was spitting out a long, thin black tongue and playing "Snake" by itself.

The whole thing is snow-white and stretched into a long strip in the box.

While swimming in the box, the head does not touch the tail and the body does not overlap at all

Song Keling found it very interesting and took out her mobile phone to record a short clip.

At the end, while recording, Song Keling pointed her index finger at the scumbag box and jokingly said, "Come on, Qianqian, take a bite."

The little snake swam two or three circles before realizing that "a certain owner" was right next to it.

It turned its head to look at Song Keling, its small body slightly frozen, as if analyzing Song Keling, or perhaps digesting Song Keling's intentions. After a moment, it spit out its tongue and moved towards this side.

However, the next moment, the brightness in the room disappeared instantly and fell into darkness.

Song Keling: “…”

Very good, the dormitory manager is really responsible and turns off the power on time.

Song Keling looked at the box again. Qianqian's red eyes emitted a faint green light in the darkness, which was the reflection of the remaining light just now.

Judging from its fixed green eyes, it didn't come this way anymore.

"Oh, okay." Song Keling sighed softly, withdrew her fingertips from the box, and said softly, "Good night, little one."
