...

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Shen Yunhao groggily opened his eyes, got up, and let out a big yawn.

"Whoosh—"

A sound flashed by and then disappeared. Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the little white snake coiled up on the bed and smiled slightly.

"I haven't slept this peacefully in a long time. Life is about mocking Li'er, understanding Li'er, and then becoming Li'er, right..."

Shen Yunhao smiled slightly, grabbed the white snake in his palm, and jumped off the bed.

But the moment he landed, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something soft.

Immediately following was a suppressed scream of pain.

"Ouch... Ouch!"

Shen Yunhao froze instantly. Looking down, he saw a thin, white tail tucked under the bed.

Holy crap!

Shen Yunhao was startled when he looked at the door.

Sure enough, I fell asleep so quickly that I completely forgot to close the door.

"Who is it! Who's hiding under the bed! Come out now!"

"..."

After a short while, Bing'er, with her rosy cheeks, peeked out from under the bed.

"The prince consort... the prince consort..."

"???"

Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded. "No...no? Really? I'm just taking a nap here, you don't need to be so...close to me, do you? Besides, what are you doing crawling under the bed?"

Bing'er pulled the bed sheet to cover half her face, hesitated for a long time, and then a long, thin snake tail emerged from the other end of the bed, with a clear footprint on its snow-white scales.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, please make yourself at home..."

"ha????"
