Chapter 22: Powerful Qianqian raised her little head in confusion. What happened?
Song Keling didn't expect Qianqian to be peeling.
If that was the case, then it was completely understandable that the little guy bit her out of stress after experiencing all kinds of disturbances and frights yesterday and being picked up by her rashly.
Song Keling observed carefully.
There are signs of molting, but the actual molting has not yet begun.
The snake skin on Qianqian's head was no longer as smooth, but slightly wrinkled and peeling, no longer tightly attached to the beautiful scales.
And the eyes, which were originally beautiful vertical pupils like rubies, now looked gray under the bright light.
Qianqian's little head kept moving backwards until there was no place left to hide.
All she could do was let Song Keling press her fingertips on the top of its head and touch it.
All right.
Qianqian gave up and convinced herself that she didn't need to hide.
Although it must look ugly with its head blasted with dust, it still remembers that it was this human who saved it when it was first injured.
Although I couldn't see anything clearly at the time, there was only a warm white light in front of me.
But when I could see clearly later, it was her.
The surroundings were all green and lush, but she was the only one standing in the light, white and emitting a pleasant fragrance.
It remembered her smell, her voice.
Her fingers were soft and warm.
Not only did she rescue it, she also took it out to play, but she had a bad memory and almost forgot about it outside.
Fortunately, it is a smart snake.
Thinking of this, Qianqian became even calmer. She even took the initiative to press the small round snake head against Song Keling's fingertips, giving a slight push back.
——Hurry up! Heal me quickly!
When Qianqian wanted to speak, a thin little tongue came out of her mouth.
When Song Keling's fingertips were touched by the wet and cold feeling, she suddenly came to her senses and immediately withdrew her fingers.
That was a close call.
I forgot that this little guy is highly poisonous.
I was lucky last night that I didn't inject poison. If I make a mistake again, I won't be so lucky.
Song Keling walked out of the bathroom, put the little snake back into the breeding box, looked at it and whispered to herself: "Do I have to get that branch back?" to facilitate molting.
Qianqian, who was put back into the box, understood what had happened. She tucked her tail in and was obviously still very dissatisfied with the branch.
But considering that it is currently in the repair stage with humans, it can endure it for the time being!
It then raised its head and spit out its tongue at Song Keling, giving a cooperative answer: Okay.
But you have to promise me that you won't be angry with me anymore.
Once the lid of the breeding box was closed, the distance became farther and when they looked at each other, the little white snake's beautiful red vertical pupils, which were covered with a layer of white mist, looked like two old red beans.
Still cute.
The corners of Song Keling's lips slowly curled up, but soon fell.
Don’t be angry anymore?
What are you angry about?
Song Keling's heart skipped a beat. She just looked at the little snake in the breeding box, but she seemed to hear something.
The words came from my mind, without voice or volume.
There is only one meaning.
"Angry?" Song Keling frowned and murmured, "I blame myself for what happened last night, not you. You're an animal, and when you're frightened you'll instinctively resist. It's a good instinct."
"From now on, if anyone bullies you, you will bite him."
Song Keling sat down on the edge of the bed as she spoke. Seeing Qianqian slowly moving towards her in the breeding box, she continued in a gentle voice, "Of course, if you encounter one that's particularly large, you should just run away without looking back."
In nature, body size often rises higher up the food chain.
A small snake like Qianqian has many natural enemies, including birds, honey badgers, and even many snake-eating snakes of the same species.
Thinking of this, Song Keling couldn't help but feel worried again.
Qianqian has become very picky about food.
It won’t eat baby mice, frogs, small fish, or insects. What if it starves to death before being caught by its natural enemies when it is released?
well.
Song Keling fell asleep with a melancholy mood.
I thought I would have another weird dream.
But I don’t know if it was because after I went home and had dinner and talked with my parents and brother that I felt more open-minded and actually had a good dream and slept until dawn.
Time passes quietly.
Two days passed and it was Friday.
There is both good news and bad news for Song Keling.
The good news is that the project paper has finally been completed and submitted, and her work in the laboratory has come to an end for the time being.
The bad news is that Qianqian hasn't shed her skin yet, so she needs some manual intervention depending on the situation.
The last class on Friday was an open class in the afternoon, taught by a professor from the School of Life Sciences at University B.
So, when Song Keling saw Su Yili, a senior from the music academy whose major was completely unrelated to hers, walking towards her, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Senior?"
Su Yili wore a halterneck long dress, and her temperament was as ethereal as an angel.
She held her bag in her hand and tucked it lightly behind her back, ignoring the glances from all directions. She only looked at Song Keling and said with a smile, "I heard you've finished your project~?"
Song Keling was not surprised that she was well-informed. "Yeah, I just finished."
"So what are your plans after class this afternoon?"
"We need to move."
move place?
Su Yili almost thought she had misheard, but then she realized what was going on and asked happily, "Are you moving back to the dormitory?"
Song Keling said no, and then explained to her that her eldest brother had bought a house nearby.
After hearing this, Su Yili said, "But moving here and there is so much trouble."
"It's okay, there aren't many things." Her brother had already contacted the moving company and asked them to come and move the things today. There weren't many things, basically just the small furniture newly purchased by her father's assistant, and the bedding she had taken out in advance.
The bedroom door was closed, and there was only a breeding box inside that she had to move herself.
She didn't want anyone to see her, so she paid a little more money and told the people sent by the moving company not to speak loudly.
Try to avoid those people scaring Qianqian in the house.
Su Yili heard this and said, "I'll go help you~"
Song Keling was about to decline, but the next moment she heard the other party say, "You promised to have dinner with me when you were done."
Song Keling remembered that this was the case and had no choice but to agree.
After the open class ended, the two walked out of the classroom together and left the teaching building.
The girls walking together would not have attracted attention, but Su Yili was the beauty of the Conservatory of Music and was considered a celebrity at NCU. Song Keling was also good-looking and her sexual orientation was open and no secret.
So more eyes fell on them.
Obviously, there will be a few more boring gossip posts in the school forum.
"Ke Ling!" Xu Xinlei saw the two of them disappearing, and hurriedly called out. When Song Ke Ling turned around, she chased after them. "That creeper uploader who came to our school before is editing a video, and asked me if you mind showing your face."
Song Keling glanced at her and replied calmly, "I do mind."
Xu Xinlei: "Okay, okay, I'll tell him, and ask him to help you with your voice."
Song Keling nodded in response and was about to leave, but she paused and asked Xu Xinlei, "What was the name of that up?"
"Shou Si, Shou as in guarding, Si as in polite."
"Okay, thank you."
After Xu Xinlei left, Su Yili immediately said to Song Keling, "What do you mean by 'Si'? I think 'Si' is more like 'Si'. I heard that he shamelessly asked to enter the girls' dormitory and even your room."
Song Keling remained noncommittal. "He probably thought I kept the snake in the dormitory and deliberately kept it from him."
"What's wrong with not letting him see it? That's your snake, not his. Why should he have the final say? Junior high school girl, you just don't know how to refuse." After Su Yili finished speaking, she walked a few steps in front of Song Keling, facing her and backing away. She shrugged her shoulders and deliberately said to Song Keling, "Except rejecting me."
Song Keling was choked up, not knowing what to say, but when she saw that she was about to bump into someone, she pulled her back in time, "Senior, be careful."
Su Yili cried out, looked over, and said sorry to the people who were also looking over.
Song Keling quickly let go of her hand.
She now has her own bicycle, which her older brother insisted on buying for her. But with her senior Su Yili around, it's inconvenient for her to ride, so they can only wait for the campus bus together.
Go to the school gate first, then go to the community.
really……
Song Keling thought that it would be much more troublesome than acting alone.
Su Yili obviously liked this mode of chatting while waiting. She was good at finding topics and even asked Song Keling if she could cook.
Song Keling said no.
Su Yili asked with a smile, "I heard that people with higher IQs are less good at housework. Is that true?"
Song Keling said: "Other people don't know, but I have a chef at home, so I have never been exposed to these things."
"You don't even know how to make the most basic tomato scrambled eggs? How about instant noodles?"
"Quick meal." Song Keling said, "Sometimes I have to stay up all night in the lab, and my seniors have taken me to eat instant noodles and self-heating rice."
Su Yili found it very funny to see Song Keling exposing her shortcomings. She covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Then I'm better than you. I can do it. How about, after I help you move, I'll cook for you?"
Song Keling: "Forget it, let's eat outside."
"Xiaoxuejie, don't you trust my cooking skills?"
"No, I just find it troublesome."
"It's not a big deal. After we move, we can just go to the mall and buy some food."
Song Keling was indeed not good at refusing people on such trivial matters. Seeing that senior Su Yili seemed to have arranged everything and would not tolerate any interference, she did not refuse and acquiesced.
But soon, Song Keling realized how much trouble her refusal had caused her.
Qianqian showed signs of shedding two days ago, but she hasn't started yet.
Song Keling suspected that it might not know how to shed its skin, so she decided to intervene at night and help it shed its skin herself.
It is very dangerous for snakes because they are in the molting period but cannot complete the molting.
Su Yili didn't like snakes very much. Knowing that Song Keling came into the house to move the snake, she waited outside.
Song Keling put Qianqian into a smaller scum box, then put it into her backpack, and then carried the breeding box out.
Su Yili took the initiative to help her get a few books.
When Su Yili entered her new home, she was stunned by the magnificent decoration of all kinds of modern and intelligent furniture. "The community is not new, but the decoration is too expensive, isn't it?"
Su Yili walked around and said, "Why did your brother buy a house here? There's not much room for appreciation here, and the decoration is so good."
Song Keling: "At that time, they said it was a gift for me in college."
Su Yili paused immediately and looked at Song Keling with a serious expression: "Keling, what does your family do?"
"A technology company." Song Keling answered as she carried the breeding box into the bedroom.
Song Keling: "Turn on the light."
The indoor lighting temperature begins to be automatically controlled.
Obviously, from the very beginning, the fingerprints, voiceprints and irises his brother recorded were all hers, so it was very convenient to use anything in the house.
"Technology company..." A name quickly popped up in Su Yili's mind, and she was about to ask Song Keling.
Song Keling said, "Senior, please check if there are any ingredients in the refrigerator. If they are already there, you don't have to go out and buy them."
Song Keling opened her backpack and took out the scum box from it steadily.
I was worried that Qianqian would become aggressive again after she noticed the smell and voice of Senior Sister Su Yili.
But surprisingly it was exceptionally quiet today.
It may be the molting period, so it doesn't like to move much.
"Ah! Junior high school girl!"
Just as Song Keling was about to take Qianqian out of the scum box and put her in the breeding box, she heard Su Yili's scream and went out immediately.
Qianqian, who had been squatting there obediently, with her little head and neck raised, waiting for the other party to take her out and put her in a bigger box, suddenly became angry when she saw that familiar yet annoying voice calling her away!
It is a good-tempered snake.
But that doesn’t mean the other party can bully it again and again!
Qianqian had known for a long time that the "annoying invader" was coming again.
But because it had bitten its junior schoolmate in anger and almost caused a big disaster, this time it tried to ignore the other party's existence.
But I didn't expect the other party to provoke me again and again.
Qianqian watched helplessly as the man disappeared, and she was so angry that she banged her little head against the top of the scum box!
Another thud.
The box was hit by a series of "dong, dong" sounds, which was very crisp.
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that it has a healthy head.
Qianqian originally wanted to use this to express her protest and dissatisfaction, but she didn't expect that after several consecutive hits, a crack would appear in the covered box.
In fact, not only did it knock the box open.
Because of the continuous exertion, its skin, which had not yet started to shed, began to peel from the horn scales above its eyes, leaving some marks.
Qianqian doesn't know this.
It just spit out its tongue with joy - Wow! It's so amazing, it can get out by itself!
It has to crawl into the big box by itself so that my junior schoolmate will like it when she comes back and sees it.
Because it's smart!
Silently, Qianqian's slender body crawled out from the gap in the box.
Because of the squeezing and crawling, the slightly raised old skin on the horn scales peeled down a little bit, reaching near the eyes. The eyes were already gray and unclear, and now that the object was blocking the view, it seemed as if the whole world was black.
But it remembered that the big box was near the bed...
It could vaguely see which side the bed was, so it quickly meandered towards it. However, its speed was too fast, and by the time it reacted, after a moment of weightlessness, it fell "bang" onto the blanket on the floor.
I felt dizzy.
Qianqian raised her little head in confusion. What happened?
How do I go now?
