Chapter 18 Qianqian is angry. Go and let those ugly snakes go! You can only...
After clicking on the link and reading the content, Song Keling immediately understood why her roommate stopped her and said those things tonight.
Xu Xinlei recently uploaded a group of photos of small snakes on the platform, which aroused heated discussion among netizens, who questioned the authenticity of the photos.
This kind of doubt has evolved from questioning whether the photos are fake to questioning Xu Xinlei's character.
The incident did not become a big deal and only spread in a small range in the reptile circle.
In the link, a million-follower influencer on the same platform as Xu Xinlei responded to a follower's comment, saying, "I don't know if it's photoshopped, but I've never seen a snake like this before." I'm following the post and will monitor its progress. If there's no follow-up, I'm more inclined to believe it's an AI creation.
Song Keling's heart sank when she saw the words "Already following, will keep an eye on progress" on the screenshot.
Xu Xinlei never concealed the university she was attending when uploading videos, and her face was shown, so it was easy to dig out her real information.
Will you come to me then?
Just a few photos have brought such attention. If someone really pays attention to and takes advantage of it, it will be a big trouble for both her and Qianqian.
Qianqian curled up in the rocks for shelter.
The curtains were half drawn, letting in moonlight.
Its pair of red vertical pupils reflected green light in the moonlight, and it was staring at the tree trunk in the breeding box, obviously feeling very resentful.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the side. It stuck out its tongue, immediately raised its neck alertly and looked in the direction of the sound.
Oh, it's the human getting out of bed.
Wait, how did humans get out...?
It’s the middle of the night!!
There was a sound outside, and Qianqian immediately climbed down from the hiding place, came to the corner of the box near the door, and then stood up her slender body, trying to eavesdrop.
She can understand a lot now.
Xu Xinlei hadn't slept either. In fact, she felt that she might not be able to sleep for the next few days.
Because that big uploader with 3 million followers actually sent her a private message! !
I originally thought that netizens could just tag me, but the big up-loader might not pay attention to it, but I didn’t expect this person to contact me actively and say that he wanted to jointly post a video.
More than three million fans, connect with her.
Isn't this a great opportunity to get some attention?!
But the problem is, this heat is too hot for her! !
Due to various concerns, Xu Xinlei did not reply immediately and pretended that she did not see it.
But over and over again, I felt like I was going to get into big trouble.
If Song Keling knew...
Just as this thought fell, there was a knock on the door and Song Keling's voice came from outside: "Xu Xinlei, are you asleep?"
Xu Xinlei immediately sat up from the bed and said no.
She guessed that Song Keling should have known about it as well, but strangely, after the truth was revealed, her heart, which had been beating fast, finally settled down.
She thought, Song Keling must know what to do.
After opening the door, the two chatted for a long time.
Out of guilt, Xu Xinlei answered Song Keling's questions honestly without hiding anything, including the private message from the big up master tonight.
After saying that, he carefully asked Song Keling, "Is everything okay?"
Song Keling said, "They probably won't come so soon. I'll find a house as soon as possible and move Qianqian out first. During this period, as long as you remain silent and stop responding to related topics, the heat will gradually decrease."
Xu Xinlei: "Okay, I got it." She knows how to handle it calmly!
With Song Keling's advice, Xu Xinlei was less worried and was finally able to fall asleep at night.
The next morning, Xu Xinlei had no classes, so she stayed in the dormitory to record a makeup imitation video. Even if she didn't post it now, she could keep it as stock.
Halfway through the recording, there was a knock on the door.
She thought Song Keling had forgotten to bring her keys when she went out, so she said wait a moment, paused the recording, and ran to open the door.
Then, with half of her makeup on, she saw a strange girl.
"Xu Xinlei?"
Xu Xinlei's heart skipped a beat. "I am, what's wrong?"
"Someone's looking for you downstairs."
"who?"
"A tall and handsome boy, who looked like a celebrity or internet celebrity, was following someone with a device recording him."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Xu Xinlei closed the door calmly, but immediately panicked and hurried back to the bedroom to find her cell phone to call Song Keling.
The commotion downstairs quickly attracted other people to watch, and some students recognized this famous up-loader and came over to take photos with him.
The boy agreed, and seemed very easy to talk to. But after taking a photo, he asked kindly: "I'm here to see Xinlei. Do you know her? Her last name is Xu, double Xu."
Xu Xinlei quickly removed her makeup and put on a simple, everyday light makeup. Then she changed out of her pajamas and put on a white short T-shirt with a denim overalls skirt.
Even after getting ready, she didn't go out immediately.
Until her cell phone vibrated, she picked it up and looked at it, then took a deep breath, got up and went downstairs.
Song Keling rode her bicycle back to the dormitory building.
Seeing Xu Xinlei communicating with the boy's team, she parked the car and walked over.
"Hey, my friend is here." Xu Xinlei quickly gestured to Shousi to look at Song Keling and said, "She saved that snake."
Shousi saw the visitor wearing a white laboratory coat, and then looked at Song Keling's face. Although there was no trace of makeup, her facial features were delicate and sophisticated. Visually, there was a sense of incongruity that a star was playing a scientist.
"Hello." Song Keling took the initiative to greet.
Shousi came to his senses and quickly extended his hand to her. "Hello, I'm Shousi, a reptile blogger. I recently saw a beautiful little snake on Xinlei's social media feed, so I came here because of it. I heard that the little white snake, which looks like a tree viper, was the one you rescued during your field internship at Xuetai a while ago, right?"
He had just discussed the specific process with Xu Xinlei, and it matched what he had learned before and the vlog that his assistant had shown him.
He played the internship vlog slowly frame by frame and studied it over and over again.
Although the distance is far and the picture is not large.
However, the various characteristics and details of the little white snake captured in the video match those in the high-definition photos.
He already had a guess in his mind. The reason why he replied to fans in that way was, firstly, to avoid the possibility of other accidents, and secondly, to bring in a large wave of traffic.
Three million followers is a lot, but which media person would complain about high popularity and high traffic?
However, he was telling the truth when he said he had never seen a snake like that.
There are too many features, too mixed, and it is so beautiful that it doesn't seem to exist in reality.
Song Keling politely shook his hand and said, "Yes. Xu Xinlei told me on WeChat that I rescued a small snake, but I released it after it recovered."
Shousi was shocked: "Ah? You actually just let it go?"
"Yeah," Song Keling said, "We're not allowed to keep snakes in the dormitory. And my major is very busy, so I don't have time to take care of it for too long. After its wounds healed, I returned it to the school and released it on the weekend."
Shousi was suspicious of this and asked, "Can I ask what time it is?"
Song Keling did not feel offended by him, but said wait a moment, then took out her mobile phone, opened the ticket purchasing app, and showed him the electronic receipt for going to Xuetai.
Later, there were some consumption records of taking taxis and cable cars down the mountain at Xuetai.
Very complete, as if it had been prepared in advance.
As he watched, Song Keling added, "Before releasing the animals, Xu Xinlei said she wanted to take a few photos as a souvenir. The ones you see are probably from that time."
The statements were consistent. Shousi, while confirming the consumption records, sighed, "That's such a shame! I saw the photo of the snake your roommate sent me and was so intrigued that I flew here overnight. By the way, can I see the record of your rescue process?"
Song Keling: "Just some simple records."
Shousi smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious. It's fine if it's really inconvenient for you."
Song Keling: "In my room. Wait a moment, I'll get it."
Seeing Song Keling about to enter the dormitory building after she finished speaking, Shou Si suddenly followed her a few steps and asked, "Can I go in and see for myself? Before the little snake was released, you must have kept it in the dormitory, right? Are the feeding utensils still there?"
Song Keling paused.
Xu Xinlei, who was standing by, immediately felt unhappy and worried when she heard this. The little snake was still in Song Keling's bedroom. Wouldn't it be exposed if someone went up there?
And how can a man have the nerve to ask to go into a girl’s bedroom to take a look?
She was just about to speak up for Song Keling.
Song Keling has turned around.
Her expression remained unchanged, indifferent. She looked at Shousi approaching, as if she were looking at a tree or a trash can on the side of the road, without any emotion. "Okay."
Shousi entered the girls' dormitory building with his assistant and photographer.
The photographer held up his equipment and recorded the surroundings.
Seeing this, Song Keling's tone suddenly became a little tougher. She said, "Please turn off the machine. It involves the privacy of many other girls in the building."
Shou Si responded and asked the photographer to turn off the equipment.
Song Keling took the key to open the door and took Shousi and others into her bedroom.
Xu Xinlei followed.
Although she knew that since Song Keling agreed, it must have been handled, Xu Xinlei still felt nervous. After all, the plan they made last night would take time to implement.
Who could have thought that Shousi, who was thousands of miles away, would show up so suddenly?
The bedroom door opened, and the girl's neat and clean furnishings came into view.
The bedding was folded neatly on the single bed.
Professional textbooks and pen holders are neatly arranged on the desk.
The most eye-catching thing is the breeding box next to the laptop on the table, as well as some snake-raising tools.
Shou Si immediately said, "Didn't we release the little snake? Why is the box still here taking up space?"
"I forgot to deal with it," Song Keling said. "After releasing the snake, I started working on the final parts of the project. I've been stuck in the lab lately, eating lunch and dinner there. I only come back to sleep, so I don't have time to deal with this."
Shousi's attack failed, so he just said, "So that's how it is," and then went to observe the breeding box.
Song Keling seemed kind and easy to talk to, and answered whatever was asked.
But when she handed Shousi the rescue record book, she still said, "You are Xu Xinlei's friend, but not mine. I hope you will be more careful with your tone when asking questions."
Shousi withdrew his gaze from the breeding box and saw that Song Keling seemed unhappy. He took it and quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sorry. I'm used to saying that, so I didn't notice there was something wrong with my tone."
Song Keling didn't care anymore.
Shousi lowered his head and looked through the manual.
This was obviously not made up on the spur of the moment. Although the content was simple, the terminology used was very professional. And judging from the handwriting in the notes, it was not written in a hurry at the same time.
The manual records the general characteristics of the little snake: a pair of horn scales, slightly upright scales, red vertical pupils, a snow-white body, a tail that suddenly becomes shorter, and a round head.
It should be the scaly tree viper or the hairy scaly tree viper.
As for other physical features, they are probably various forms of genetic mutations.
Because the team led by Shousi occupied most of the space inside, although Xu Xinlei followed in, she could not see much. She stood on tiptoe and adjusted the angle left and right to look at the box.
I don’t know where Song Keling hid that poisonous little snake.
The breeding box is here, but we have to move the venomous snake. That would be a very dangerous thing, right?
Thinking of this, she felt a little uneasy and goosebumps were creeping up on her skin.
After reading the records, Shou Si looked around Song Keling's bedroom again. Finally, he looked back at the breeding box and asked Song Keling, "Classmate, before we go, can I take a picture?"
Song Keling: "Please hurry up, I still have to go back to the lab."
"Okay, okay."
The Shousi team came in a hurry and left quickly, but before leaving, they took the photo and asked Song Keling to confirm the appearance of the little snake.
Song Keling looked at the photo and said that this should be what it looks like.
should……
Shousi felt powerless when he heard this. He found that although this beautiful girl answered every question today, what she said and gave was like cotton, which made people feel powerless and empty and uncomfortable.
Could it be that two people have joined forces to create mystery?
Shousi didn't know, but he could only leave first.
As soon as the group left, Xu Xinlei immediately complained: "I'm so surprised! This is the quality of an influencer with a double degree and millions of followers? He's so arrogant, his filters are shattered, where does his sense of superiority come from?"
Song Keling: "They are human beings too."
"Oh right, Ke Ling, where did you take Qian Qian?"
"The lab. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Song Keling didn't stay any longer and rode her bike all the way back to the laboratory.
She was the only one in the lab during the day.
As soon as she entered the breeding area, Song Keling heard many slight sounds of gas leaking. Then she looked at Qianqian in the scum box on the stage. She was hunching her body tightly and opening her mouth threateningly at the pit viper beside her.
Its scales stood upright and its tail wagged like a rattlesnake.
Not just for the snakes here.
It looked very busy, sometimes threatening the adult on this side, and sometimes turning around to threaten the sub-adult on the other side.
Although other pit vipers ignored such a small creature.
Qianqian's tense state continued.
But perhaps for it, being surrounded by giant pit vipers made it extremely uneasy.
The main reason why Song Keling placed Qianqian here was because she was worried that her seniors would suddenly come to the laboratory.
Now it is in the final stage, and all the pit vipers have been fed not long ago, and their health is fine. They only need to be checked every night, so even if the senior sisters come to the laboratory, they will not enter the breeding room during the day.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Song Keling picked up the scum box, apologized repeatedly to the little snake in the box that showed a stress reaction, then turned and walked out.
Even after leaving the environment surrounded by enemies, the little snake did not relax and still had delicate and small white scales all over its body.
Song Keling brought it into the office, placed the scum box in front of the all-in-one computer, then opened a cartoon video, unplugged the headphone plug, and played the volume out loud.
If the little one is frightened, listening to some soothing music and creating a safe environment will help him gradually relax.
If this had happened before, Qianqian would have already stuck to the corner of the box to watch TV and learn human language.
But today is different.
Today, it is extremely angry!
This damned elementary school girl!!
He actually kept so many ugly snakes behind his back!!
She spent the entire day with these ugly snakes, and only had a little time at night to spend with it?!
Don't stop it, it's going to bite all these snakes to death! !
——Let me go!!
Seeing that the little girl, contrary to her usual behavior, didn't lean over to look at the computer screen, but instead grinned at her, Song Keling raised her hand and lightly tapped the box. She then lay on the table, watching closely, feeling very guilty. "Silly girl, it's okay now. I promise you, there won't be a next time, okay?"
What's good about it? It's not good!
Can't understand! !
Something's happening, something serious! Go release those ugly snakes right now! You can only keep one for me!
Qianqian opened her mouth angrily towards Song Keling, and bit the pink flesh in her mouth fiercely, biting down bit by bit, all on the smooth scum box, but every attack was ineffective.
But it is precisely because we know it is ineffective that we have to attack!
If it didn't have this box, it certainly wouldn't be so aggressive towards this human. The junior high school girl looks very fragile.
Seeing Qianqian so upset, Song Keling felt bad and apologized to the little girl again sincerely: "I'm sorry, to make amends, I'll cook quail eggs for you. Then we'll go see the new house tonight, okay?"
