Chapter 46 Eyelid Twitching "Left eye twitching brings good luck, right eye twitching brings disaster?" ...

Based on this idea, when Song Keling noticed that the child next to her secretly reached out to hold her hand, she no longer refused and just pretended to be asleep.

But in fact, Song Keling did not fall asleep until she heard the child's quiet and steady breathing beside her.

How can she sleep?

My mind is in a mess and I can't calm down for a moment.

I took out my phone several times to check: 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 1:30, 2 o'clock...

Song Keling couldn't sleep until she remembered that the psychiatrist had prescribed her some medicine today, but she had forgotten about it because of the incident of finding Qianqian.

She gently pulled back her pinched hand, got out of bed and took her medicine.

The light was on in the kitchen.

Song Keling was distracted as she stared at the kettle that was making a slight sizzling sound. She couldn't imagine that the little snake could turn into a human being. It still didn't seem real to her.

So just keep it?

I pretended not to know until it was exposed, and during this period it was like raising a child.

The snake demon is okay, but not the fox demon. The fox demon seems to suck essence and energy.

As Song Keling was thinking this, the water had already boiled.

She turned off the socket, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water, then thought: She still needs to explain the story of the Legend of the White Snake to Qianqian in detail, as it is not what she understood.

The water cup was filled up without me noticing and almost overflowed.

Fortunately, Song Keling came to her senses in time, put the kettle back on the base, and walked out of the kitchen with the cup.

Other things need to be arranged slowly.

Once this matter is exposed, she can no longer keep a monster in her home as if nothing happened.

Xuetai might be Qianqian's "home", and there might be other elves and monsters on the mountain...

Song Keling frowned and hissed softly. She couldn't think about these things. If she did, she would feel like all the thoughts in her head were getting tangled.

Song Keling took the medicine and lay back on the bed.

She has a good physique and has rarely been sick since she was a child. She has no drug resistance and fell into a deep sleep shortly after the medicine took effect.

Song Keling overslept a little in the morning and felt something rustling on her body.

Clearly human warm body temperature.

There is also the friction of clothes and the occasional delicate touch.

Song Keling pried her eyes open, but couldn't see the scene clearly. She could only see a figure half-kneeling beside her, with a fair and round face that seemed a little distressed.

The vision gradually became clear.

When Song Keling saw Bai Qianqian's face, everything that happened last night quickly came back to her mind. She shifted her gaze slightly and saw what she was holding in her hand.

Song Keling sat up.

Qianqian cried out, "Sister, you're awake."

Song Keling: "What's wrong?"

“This thing keeps vibrating.”

It was the cell phone that was vibrating.

Song Keling took it and saw that it was an alarm clock.

The child was obviously helpless against human technological inventions, because the alarm clock rang every five minutes, and because he had not successfully turned it off, there were already two records of delayed ringing.

Song Keling slid her finger to turn off the alarm clock, turned around and saw the child kneeling next to her. The child's long hair, which had been washed the night before, was soft and fluffy, hanging in front of the body, making the fair little face look even smaller.

Song Keling was about to say something, but she was speechless after seeing this scene. After a moment, she sighed, "You can sleep a little longer. I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast and put one in the living room for you later."

Qianqian nodded, "Yeah."

Song Keling got up and went to wash up, the electric toothbrush buzzing in her mouth. She looked at the mirror in front of her and suddenly remembered that when Qianqian was still a little snake, there was a time when she would not eat anything you gave her.

Later, after asking my senior sister, I tried feeding it human food.

No wonder he didn’t have diarrhea after eating human food.

The snake demon's physique must be different from that of ordinary snakes.

Song Keling couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, she suddenly heard a sigh from behind her and immediately turned around to look.

The child who had just agreed to sleep a little longer was standing at the door.

She was quite well behaved, leaning against the door with a pair of big slippers on her feet.

Song Keling quickly spit out some foam and rinsed her mouth, then looked at her again, "Aren't you going to sleep anymore?"

Qianqian slowly walked towards the bathroom after being asked. Her big eyes were filled with curiosity. She scratched the porcelain sink with her fingers first, then looked up at her, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Brush your teeth." Song Keling answered, not sure whether the snake needed to be brushed or not, so she said, "Open your mouth and let me see, ah..."

Qianqian opened her mouth obediently: "Ah..."

Song Keling pressed her lower lip with her thumb, revealing a row of neat, white teeth inside, which looked quite nice.

"I'll buy you a set of toiletries later." Song Keling said, "and teach you how to brush your teeth."

Qianqian responded with an "oh" and waited on the side.

Seeing that she didn't seem to plan to go back to bed, Song Keling took a warm towel and washed her face.

The child's cheeks are soft, white, tender and bouncy.

Can be ravaged at will.

Qianqian closed her eyes, and her long, thick eyelashes were rubbed down to her face by the warm towel.

Song Keling was stunned when she saw it, and then she couldn't help laughing.

Qianqian opened her eyes and looked at her doubtfully, "Sister?"

"It's okay." Song Keling applied lotion herself. Seeing her looking up eagerly and expectantly, she bent down and pretended to wipe her face twice.

Qianqian suddenly became happy and stood on tiptoe.

But Song Keling didn't have much left in her hands. She didn't dare give it to Qianqian. Not to mention worrying about the difference between humans and snakes, she should at least go back and buy a face cream specifically for children...

Song Keling bought breakfast, told Qianqian not to run out, and downloaded a set of kindergarten Chinese language video courses for her to watch on her tablet.

When entering the elevator, Song Keling was a little dazed.

This feeling of raising a daughter...

Only when the sunlight shone on her body did Song Keling feel the subtle chill fade away.

The heavy rain the night before seemed to have washed the entire new city clean. Everything looked brand new, with green leaves on the bushes, pavilions and roads. The air was very fresh, and it also brought people back to clarity from the chaos.

It was like being pulled out of a dream and reintegrating into the familiar society where I had lived for twenty years.

If Qianqian was just a small snake with a limited lifespan, she was sure that she could raise Qianqian without any pressure until she finally left the world.

But if Qianqian became a human being, she would not be able to and would not dare to take on the responsibility of taking care of (sheltered) a person from childhood to adulthood for a lifetime.

So, maybe Qianqian is more suitable to return to the mountains in Xuetai City.

Song Keling has one required course and one elective course in the morning.

After class, she took a detour to the cafeteria and then rode her bike back to the community.

I never replied before, even when I was pestered by the human-shaped Qianqian for the first time and took the child home.

There are many video courses on the tablet.

Qianqian is smart. After just one morning's class, she has learned quite a few words.

Song Keling put the takeout bag on the table.

Qianqian knelt beside the table, pointed at the small green words on the plastic bag and read: "New..." Then she skipped the word she didn't know, and pointed at the words one by one and read "University Twelve" and skipped it again.

Song Keling came back from washing her hands and heard it, and looked at her in surprise.

Qianqian looked up at her, a little happy and proud, but asked: "Sister, what is this word?"

Song Keling looked over: "City."

Song Keling: "New Town University, Canteen 12."

Qianqian nodded, then looked at the words on the bag again, pressing her fingers on each one, making a rustling sound. "New City University, No. 12, Canteen. Sister, what is a canteen?"

"There's a place to eat in school. If you find the cafeteria, there's food to eat."

“Ouch!”

Seeing Qianqian learning so quickly, Song Keling suddenly remembered something and turned into the bedroom. There were some notebooks, documents and draft papers piled on the desk. She found a piece of paper with words written on it.

There was a name and a question on it.

Song Keling took a look, put the papers into the folder, mixed them up, and walked out.

Judging from Qianqian's current learning speed, she will be able to understand this line of words soon.

Hide first.

In order to prevent Qianqian from seeing this, she would immediately know that she had been suspicious for a long time, even though she was trying it with the intention of doing something random at the time.

Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing that Qianqian learns so quickly. Do we need to control the teaching content?

What if a genius emerges?

What if we use human knowledge to defeat humans?

Song Keling shook her head, thinking that it was too far-fetched.

She came out and unpacked the lunch packed from the cafeteria.

Qianqian had been immersed in the ocean of knowledge for most of the day and was very hungry. She picked up the chopsticks and spoon to eat by herself. Although her movements were clumsy, she was quite independent.

Seeing her eating happily with her mouth full of oil, Song Keling's suppressed thoughts couldn't help but diverge: snakes only need to eat once every four or five days, but Qianqian has become a human and has to eat three meals a day.

Is this really okay?

Song Keling has no classes in the afternoon, but needs to go to the laboratory to help.

So I left Qianqian at home and played video lessons for lower grades for her on a tablet.

In the laboratory.

Qiao Ying soon noticed that Song Keling was unusually silent today. While the centrifuge was operating, she found a topic to ask her what had happened in recent days.

It would have been fine if the senior sister hadn't asked, but as soon as she did, the complex emotions that Song Keling had just suppressed surfaced.

It's not that I'm complaining.

However, I always feel that things will develop and twist to this extent. Senior Sister Qiao Ying, who first joked that "the little snake will turn into a human to repay the favor", should bear part of the blame.

But you can't say it so clearly.

Song Keling could only make up an excuse, "A relative went abroad on business and left their child with me to take care of him."

"How old is the child?"

"About ten years old."

"Do you want me to help pick you up from school?"

"No need for pick-up. It's just that I have no experience in taking care of children."

"You don't have much time, do you want to find a babysitter?"

Song Keling was stunned, thinking why didn't I think of this, but then she thought back, Qianqian is not an ordinary child, she should hire a teacher or a nanny, just in case something happens...

How could it be bad enough to scare someone to death?

Song Keling said, "No, it's not a big deal. I can just go buy some things for the kids this afternoon."

Qiao Ying saw her expression and saw some uneasiness and confusion. She smiled and said, "Why? Don't you know how to deal with the child? You can ask Su Su for help. She has many relatives and the children all like her."

Song Keling thought that no matter how many kids liked Senior Su, Qianqian was definitely not one of them.

I don’t know whether Qianqian holds a grudge or not.

Although the reason for "getting lost" was Qianqian's own misconduct, the senior's concealment was also a major factor in the result.

Qiao Ying was just jokingly testing the waters for her friend. Seeing that Song Keling didn't seem to mind, but didn't follow up on the conversation, she asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"girl."

"The girl is nice, not too naughty."

Qiao Ying said, "When you have time, help her with her homework and buy her some Barbie dolls or stuffed animals. Or, if she has any hobbies, like reading or drawing, or maybe watching cartoons or playing games, just provide a place and things for her to play. Boys are more problematic. You'll have to lock their bedrooms and any rooms with lots of ornaments. Otherwise, if they get in and act mischievously, it could cause direct damage to your personal property."

Song Keling thanked her and asked earnestly, "Are there any particular requirements for children's supplies?"

Qiao Ying: "It depends on your financial situation. If you have money, buy expensive and good things. If you are relatively tight on money, buy affordable and cost-effective items. Basically, just prepare some daily necessities and buy some extra fruit snacks. Oh, and all children in the world love fried food. You can buy some every now and then. Children metabolize quickly anyway, so it's not a big problem."

Song Keling said okay and thanked him again.

The topic should have ended like this.

But just then, Senior Brothers Zhang Yiming and Qiu Shi cooperated with each other to pick out an adult pit viper and put it into the box on the experimental table.

The Qi snake has a standard upturned snout and a healthy and beautiful square pattern.

Song Keling subconsciously wondered if it might also be a demon. Qianqian had previously threatened and intimidated a bunch of snakes in the lab. If it was just a case of like repelling like, she suddenly called out, "Senior Sister Qiao Ying."

Qiao Ying looked at her: "Hmm?"

Song Keling's lips moved as if she was about to speak, but she finally said, "It's okay, just get a measuring cup."

"Okay. Here."

Normal people who have received scientific education since childhood would not believe that there are monsters in the world.

So, I really have to ask.

You also have to find "abnormal" and "unusual" people to ask for answers.

But it's a dangerous thing to do.

What if the ancestor surnamed Shi is like Fahai in the TV series, an old stubborn man who believes that monsters will harm people?

Since she asked, she must have encountered some trouble.

Even if you don't say it, it won't work.

The ancestor used some Maoshan magic, or some other method, to follow her home like Fahai used his golden bowl to track her.

It is very likely that Qianqian will be killed.

Therefore, don't ask unless it's absolutely necessary.

Song Keling got a headache whenever she thought about these things, and this afternoon not only did she have a headache, but her eyelids also started twitching.

Seeing Song Keling raise her hand to press her eyelids from time to time, Lu Yunli asked, "Senior Sister Lu, there's a saying, 'If your left eye twitches, you'll have good luck, and if your right eye twitches, you'll have disaster?'"

How could such a good little junior sister become superstitious?

Without saying a word, Lu Yunli went into the studio, cut a small piece of tape and put it on her eyelids. Soon, her eyelids stopped twitching.

In the afternoon, the day's work in the laboratory ends.

Song Keling rode out of the school gate and originally planned to buy Qianqian's daily necessities by herself, but her eyelids started twitching again.

She was afraid that it would be too late to go back and something might happen to Qianqian while she was home alone, so she turned around and went back to the community first.

The sun sets.

The wind is a bit strong in the suburbs.

Song Keling parked her bike in the community's bicycle parking area. When she walked out, she saw a familiar-looking SUV parked in the parking space diagonally opposite.

What a coincidence.

Thinking this, Song Keling was about to walk into the building, but she couldn't help but look back.

Upon taking a look, he saw the familiar license plate on the SUV.

Song Keling was stunned for half a second, and when she came to her senses, the string in her head snapped instantly!

Run into the building.

Several elevators were going up, but Song Keling couldn't wait any longer and ran to the emergency passage anxiously.

She ran to the eighth floor in one breath but couldn't run any further. She let out a long breath, pushed open the fire door, waited obediently in front of the elevator, took out the cell phone she had just forgotten about, and made a call.

The author has something to say: Damn it, who in this world is so stupid!

Give me some time to get used to the intensity, my waist will break if I sit for a whole day.
