Chapter 175 This is awkward.
Ye Wanxi was repeatedly defeated by Aunt Qiao's series of questions, and could only respond with awkward laughter throughout.
This scene is a stark reflection of the reality for many young men and women who are struggling to marry late, who are constantly pressured to do so.
In just a short while, the "I feel hopeless.jpg" meme about Ye Wanxi quickly rose to the top of the trending searches after she revealed that she had someone she liked.
Ye Wanxi was completely unaware of all this, as she was currently preoccupied with dealing with Aunt Qiao's various astonishing questions.
So much so that my steps unconsciously quickened, quickened, and quickened again, and I arrived at the amphibious pavilion next door in no time.
The python area where Gu Shaoling was located was in a rather remote part of the amphibian enclosure. After entering the enclosure, Ye Wanxi and the other person walked quite a distance before finally reaching their destination.
Prior to this, Gu Shaoling's personal live stream had already been flooded with messages from a large number of viewers.
The reason is simple: while Ye Wanxi was working smoothly for over an hour, Gu Shaoling had absolutely no way to deal with the giant python in the amphibian house, and the work progress was still at zero.
Some people who dislike Gu Shaoling, especially Ji Yuanting's fans who had previously broken ties with Gu Shaoling's fans, openly mocked and ridiculed Gu Shaoling as a good-for-nothing in the live stream.
Although Gu Shaoling has quite a few fans, they lack experience in arguments and are not as shameless as Ji Yuanting's fans, who follow their idols closely and are unable to win arguments but are still full of anger.
When Ye Wanxi arrived, Gu Shaoling's fans were overjoyed, hoping that Ye Wanxi could save their idol from her predicament.
What happened?
As soon as Ye Wanxi entered the room, she sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Why are you here?" Gu Shaoling was a little surprised to see Ye Wanxi.
"I've almost finished tidying up over there, so I came to see you. How's it going over here?"
"I……"
Before Gu Shaoling could say anything, she heard a hissing sound behind her, which sent chills down her spine.
Turning around, they realized that the python, which they had been trying to coax for ages, had stubbornly remained motionless and pretended to be dead, only sticking out its tongue as a warning when they approached or extended cleaning tools, had somehow crawled over and was staring at them through the fence!
Gu Shaoling's face turned pale instantly. Such a large snake is a completely different concept when it is static and when it is dynamic. The oppressive feeling coming at her almost made her legs go weak on the spot.
"It it it..."
"Don't move, don't move." The zookeeper grabbed Gu Shaoling's hand and whispered, "Moving around now will only be seen as a provocation."
Gu Shaoling froze, wishing she could turn into a large, insignificant rock on the spot.
Ye Wanxi glanced at the giant python with a hint of curiosity. She had to admit that the snake was really big; the host's statement that it was six meters long was not an exaggeration at all.
Its yellowish-brown markings covered almost its entire body, and its bluish-black scales reflected light in the slightly dark cage, giving it a chill just by looking at it.
It's clear the zoo has fed it very well; it's very robust, the kind of robust that could swallow you whole with a single bite.
The man and the snake faced off across the railing for a long time, causing the viewers in the live stream to instinctively hold their breath and dare not move.
After a long while, a message finally appeared on the empty screen.
Ah, this scene feels strangely familiar...
As if to confirm her wild idea, the next second, Ye Wanxi casually took out a big, bright red apple from the red bag she had brought and handed it forward.
Would you like an apple?
Everyone in the live broadcast room: “???”
Gu Shaoling and her zookeeper: "???"
Does God eat apples? I think it'd rather eat you!
To prove their conjecture, the snake opened its blood-red maw the next second.
Gu Shaoling almost screamed out loud: "It...it's going to eat people!"
The zookeeper was both amused and exasperated: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're kept in captivity, they can't bite us."
The cameraman was quite mischievous. Taking advantage of the fact that the snake was trapped inside and couldn't get out, he shoved the camera right into its mouth, making the viewers in the live stream shudder and instinctively feel that they were about to become the snake's meal.
The giant snake opened its mouth for about ten seconds, but didn't get what it wanted. It then closed its mouth and slammed its sharp tail on the ground twice to express its dissatisfaction.
"Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Gu Shaoling asked, trembling. "Is it because you can't have us? Are you angry?"
Having already witnessed the golden monkeys' collective demise, Aunt Qiao sensed something was amiss and said uncertainly, "I think it might want to eat the apple in Xiao Ye's hand."
"An apple?" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ye Wanxi's hand.
Ye Wanxi blinked, a little pleased: "Want to eat? You should have said so earlier."
"???" How can you expect a snake to talk to you? It's as if you'd understand it just because it's talking to you.
Gu Shaoling and the others had a pained expression, wanting to complain but not knowing where to vent, which amused many viewers.
Seeing that the group had finished their discussion, the giant snake opened its mouth again, and Ye Wanxi casually tossed the large apple into its mouth.
With a thud, the apple fell into the abyss and vanished without a trace.
Such an apple would be enough as a dessert for a golden monkey, but for this six-meter-long giant snake, it wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.
Therefore, after eating an apple, the snake immediately slammed its tail on the floor twice more.
"...Do you still want to eat?"
"This world is truly fantastical; even snakes are starting to eat apples." Gu Shaoling's face showed utter disillusionment, as if her worldview had been shattered and she couldn't even salvage it.
"Um..." It wanted to eat more, but Ye Wanxi didn't dare to continue feeding it. She looked at the zookeeper for advice, "Is it okay to give it so much fruit?"
"Theoretically, it can eat a little, but it depends on whether it's willing to eat," the zookeeper said, his eyes brightening slightly as if he had just thought of something. "Do you have any apples left? Could I have one?"
"Yes, there is." Ye Wanxi quickly took an apple out of the bag and handed it to the zookeeper.
This bag of apples was given to her by Brother Li when she first came out. He said that the fruits in their zoo were carefully selected, and that she could take them with her to eat or give to friends.
Unexpectedly, she and her friend didn't get to eat it, but the greedy snake got to benefit instead.
The keeper took the apple and walked to the other side of the cage, trying to lead the snake to another clean room.
However, no matter how he tried to entice it, the giant snake remained unmoved, as if it had grown onto that land.
"..." This is awkward.
