Chapter 233 Snakes really are vegetarians.
"Deceive?" Ye Wanxi's hand holding the melon seeds suddenly paused, and she looked at Shi Yuyan with a scrutinizing gaze.
Everyone else's eyes followed suit, so much so that Shi Yuyan, this 1.8-meter-tall "strong man" with thick eyebrows and big eyes, almost dug a hole and buried himself on the spot.
Mr. Shi was the first to frown and scold, "What's going on? Didn't you say that you only dated girls voluntarily?"
Ye Wanxi, always eager for drama, chimed in, "There's a difference between coaxing and forcing."
The difference lies in the fact that one is forced sexual intercourse, which is illegal and criminal.
The other one, to put it mildly, is morally reprehensible; he uses sweet words to coax girls into willingly following him, but has no intention of taking responsibility.
Shi Yuyan clearly belongs to the latter category, and the girlfriends he dated before probably all knew what kind of person he was. From the beginning, he was only interested in casual flings, and he wasn't interested in anything emotionally.
The time has come; let's part ways amicably.
In this respect, Tao Wan is clearly quite different from them.
Their clan is known for its reclusive nature, and judging from Shi Yuyan's previous descriptions, this should be her first time going abroad, or even her first time leaving the country.
The image of a tender, healthy cabbage, painstakingly raised, being devoured by an outsider without careful supervision, is so relatable that many people are already getting angry.
"You brat!" Mr. Shi suddenly jumped up, grabbed a leather shoe from the ground, and started hitting Shi Yuyan, making him jump around and howl.
Shi Lang's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't stop them, just watching his old father beat his unfilial son.
Shi's mother then cautiously approached Tao Wan and took her hand.
Grandpa Tao only glanced at her but didn't stop her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shi breathed a slight sigh of relief, forced a gentle smile, and asked softly, "Child, how old are you? Besides your grandfather, who else lives in your family?"
Tao Wan was a little nervous at Shi's mother's sudden approach: "I'm nineteen, and I only have my grandfather."
"Only Grandpa is here. Where are your mom and dad?"
“Not anymore.”
Shi's mother was slightly taken aback, and a feeling of tenderness welled up in her heart. She had two sons and had always wanted a lovely daughter. She had absolutely no resistance to such a well-behaved and adorable little girl.
"Don't be nervous. Auntie has a few questions for you about you and Yu Yan. Just tell me the truth, and Auntie won't hurt you."
"……Um."
“Yu Yan said you met abroad. You got lost and he took you home and you stayed together for a few days.”
"Um."
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye the day after you... the day after you had sex?"
"I...I'm a little scared."
"Afraid? Afraid of what?" Madam Shi was startled, thinking that her son had done some outrageous things besides the accidents she knew about.
Tao Wan wasn't lying. She lived in a remote area, and her parents were gone. Her grandfather raised her alone. How could he possibly teach her these things?
The night she had sex with Shi Yuyan, she was actually more confused and scared than happy, and just then, her grandfather came to see her again.
She was still confused and didn't quite understand what this meant, but that didn't mean Grandpa Tao didn't understand either.
Grandpa Tao was so angry that he almost killed Shi Yuyan, but Tao Wan stopped him from committing the tragedy.
But after that, no one expected that she would get pregnant that very night.
After hearing Tao Wan's words, the first thing that popped into Shi's mother's mind was...
On the Importance of Universal Sex Education!
If her son were even slightly less teddy, or if the girl were even slightly less naive and had a little more wariness of men, this messy, unresolved debt wouldn't have happened.
Thinking about it this way, Shi's mother felt even more sorry for Tao Wan, and she was even more angry with her own son.
Looking at his youngest son, who was being beaten and screaming in pain not far away, he had no urge to help him. Instead, he felt that his son deserved to be beaten, and that he should be beaten harder!
Mr. Shi was busy disciplining his child, Mrs. Shi was busy having a heart-to-heart talk with her future daughter-in-law, while Ye Wanxi was busy watching the drama unfold, and incidentally...
Ye Wanxi was caught off guard by a hissing sound coming from right next to her. She instinctively looked down and met a pair of tiny, green-beaded eyes.
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Feng Tianyu, who was standing next to Ye Wanxi, also noticed the little creature's presence and his expression changed slightly.
The hand gripping the wheelchair handle tightened instinctively, while the other arm was even more tense. He wanted to pull Ye Wanxi behind him, but he was worried that any rash action would provoke the little thing's ferocity and cause it to bite.
Ye Wanxi wasn't particularly nervous. Having seen the giant snakes several meters long in the zoo, this tiny snake in front of her was really nothing compared to her.
Looking at the fruit platter in her arms, she hesitated for a moment, then picked up a slightly oxidized small apple and tentatively offered it to him: "Want some?"
The little snake stared at the apple for a while, then suddenly leaped up.
Tao Wan happened to look up at that moment and saw this scene, which frightened her so much that her face turned pale.
"Xiao Kui, no!"
The others looked over when they heard her shout, and their expressions changed as well.
Just when everyone thought Ye Wanxi was doomed to be bitten, the snake, like an arrow shot from a bow, swiftly and accurately bit into the apple in Ye Wanxi's hand, tilted its head back, and... swallowed it whole.
Tao Wan: "..."
Grandpa Tao: "..."
The Shi family members: "..."
Feng Tianyu's face turned ashen. The moment the snake leaped up, he reached out his hand, already prepared to be bitten, aiming at the snake's neck.
Before he could even reach the snake, Ye Wanxi pressed his hand down first.
Looking again, Feng Tianyu realized that the little green snake, instead of biting people, was biting an apple. He felt that his brain was a little... blank at that moment.
"Sure enough, snakes love to eat apples."
Everyone present: ???
Who the hell likes to eat apples? Snakes are clearly carnivores. Don't mislead children!
However, the next second, everyone saw the carnivore swaying its bamboo-segment-sized body in a flamboyant manner, as if... it hadn't had enough to eat.
Ye Wanxi blinked, wondering whether she should reluctantly feed it another piece of apple, but the snake's owner couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Xiao Kui, come back."
The little green snake reluctantly swam back to its owner's feet, then coiled itself around the table leg in front of its owner, disguising itself as an "ordinary" little ornament.
The Shi family members: "..."
"This snake is truly...unusual."
"Yeah, yeah, it was quite scary at first, but it turned out to be a herbivorous snake, so it's not so scary after all."
Grandpa Tao: "..." How embarrassing!
