"I want to kill someone."

When Nan Zhi tried to force him, he subconsciously touched his wrist.

He thought that if it had been there at that time, he might have really let it bite her to death.

Although he didn't say his name, Nanzhi immediately realized that he wanted to kill her.

An idea suddenly came to her mind.

Shen Huaixu was preoccupied with wanting to kill Nanzhi when he vaguely heard a hissing sound.

He lowered his eyes and saw the little black snake flick its tongue at him. When it saw him looking at it, it opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, looking very fierce.

Its tail tapped his palm, seemingly signaling him to let go.

Shen Huaixu inexplicably let go.

The little black snake stared at him for a moment, then turned and crawled outside.

It quickly disappeared into the room.

Shen Huaixu pushed open the door and went out, and saw it climbing towards the house on the south branch.

An absurd idea popped into his head.

It doesn't actually understand and want to help him, does it?

But he didn't say who he wanted to kill?

When he saw the little black snake completely disappear before his eyes, Shen Huaixu was filled with complex emotions and remained silent for a very long time.

He turned to go inside, but stopped abruptly at the door.

He turned around and sped off in pursuit of the little black snake.

The little black snake moved very fast and was good at hiding. When Shen Huaixu chased it to the outside of Nanzhi's room, he did not see it.

He wanted to call it, but then he realized he hadn't given it a name.

It seems that it has already sneaked into Nanzhi's house.

His heart jumped into his throat.

I don't know if it's worry about the snake or Nanzhi...

"Young master, are you here to see Miss?"

Meimei's eyes lit up with joy when she saw him.

Shen Huaixu nodded: "Yes, I've come to find Miss."

Meimei quickly knocked on the door: "Miss, the young master is here to see you."

From inside came Nanzhi's impatient voice, "I don't want to see him, tell him to leave."

Shen Huaixu listened expressionlessly.

Perhaps he shouldn't worry.

The little black snake looked very venomous; biting her to death might be a good option.

He turned to leave when a gasp suddenly came from inside the house.

Shen Huaixu paused in his steps.

Meimei heard a scream coming from inside. Startled, she pushed open the door and saw a white figure pass by her and quickly walk inside.

Shen Huaixu came to the bedside and saw Nanzhi hiding under the covers, trembling.

The little black snake has disappeared.

He instinctively pulled back the blanket, wanting to find the snake, but when he saw the scene before him, his pupils trembled.

Nanzhi, she... she wasn't wearing any clothes...

"Shen Huaixu, you... ugh!"

Shen Huaixu expressionlessly loosened the blanket, catching Nanzhi, who had just poked her head out, completely off guard.

She lifted the covers and saw that Shen Huaixu had already turned and left.

The figure's retreating silhouette gave the impression of fleeing in disarray.

Nanzhi lay back down in bed.

Meimei followed closely behind and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

"I had just fallen asleep when I seemed to touch something cool, which startled me."

Shen Huaixu paused slightly as he reached the threshold, but only for two seconds.

Nanzhi watched him disappear completely, and a pleased smile curved her lips.

Is this guy worried about the little black snake, or about her?

They seemed more worried about the little black snake.

That's perfect, falling in love with a little black snake is far more interesting than falling in love with her.

Shen Huaixu returned to his room, went straight to the table, poured two glasses of water, and drank them. Only then did his expression gradually become indifferent.

He closed his eyes, suppressing his breathing. Perhaps because he had walked too fast, a blush appeared on his snow-white face, and even the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

The night deepened.

The candlelight in Shen Huaixu's room remained lit.

He used to love sitting by the window and reading.

He had never been to school. When he was little, he envied his adoptive parents’ son for being able to go to school, so he would always follow him and secretly listen and watch outside the school.

Over time, he learned some characters.

The adoptive parents' biological son is named Shen Yunfan.

There will be times when the wind and waves will be strong, and we will set sail to cross the vast ocean.

Despite having a good name that suggests knowledge, Shen Yunfan was unruly and mischievous. Even after studying for several years, he only had a superficial understanding of the knowledge in books.

Looking at the tattered book in his hand, Shen Huaixu thought of the time when he was caught secretly studying by Shen Yunfan. Shen Yunfan complained to his adoptive parents, and he was punished by kneeling on the ground for a whole night. The book he had stolen was burned by his adoptive parents into the tattered copy it is now.

The words in the book have yellowed, and some words have disappeared.

Shen Huaixu, however, kept the book and did not throw it away.

He, like the book, seemed to have long since become worn and tattered.

In the past, when I was feeling irritable, reading a book would calm me down.

But today, he seemed somewhat restless.

His eyes kept glancing out the window, and the papers in his hands were crumpled and wrinkled.

In the middle of the night, he heard a commotion coming from afar. He instinctively stood up, pushed open the door, and looked toward the source of the noise.

The sound was coming from Nam Gyi.

"That damn snake almost bit Miss, get rid of it quickly."

"But it looks so poisonous, I'm too scared."

"Coward, let me do it."

The speaker was a burly young servant who loved catching snakes. He skillfully grabbed the snake by its vital spot.

But to everyone's surprise, the little black snake nimbly dodged it.

Fearing it would escape, the men grabbed sticks and began to beat it mercilessly.

The little black snake was hit several times and lay motionless on the ground.
