Chapter 7 Goodbye "Go home, Qianqian."
On Saturday, Song Keling had even less to do.
I sorted out the experimental equipment in the laboratory, integrated the data from the week, and then checked the condition of the two sick pit vipers.
When there was a knock on the door, Song Keling thought that it was a classmate nearby who had lost his way and was asking for directions. After all, if it was a senior, he would have come in directly.
Song Keling was wearing gloves and didn't put down the snake clamp in her hand. She just went out to take a look.
Standing at the doorway was a beautiful girl in a long, waist-cinching dress. She was backlit, her long curly hair falling on her shoulders, and her palm-sized face was delicately made up. She smiled and said, "Hi, Keling."
Compared with the girls who were dressed up carefully, Song Keling was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and a protective mask and mask on her face.
It's a wonder she could recognize him dressed like that.
Song Keling was surprised that Senior Su Yili would come here. Her voice was a little unclear under the mask: "Senior, why are you here?"
Su Yili didn't answer immediately, but gestured slightly with her hand, smiled and asked politely: "Can I come in?"
Song Keling: "Okay, you can stay outside, I'll be right there."
"OK."
Song Keling washed her hands and came out very quickly.
Without the layers of protective gear, Song Keling's face, which was just the right size and always calm, was revealed.
She seemed completely unaware of how beautiful she really was.
Or maybe it's because she knows it too well, so she doesn't put rouge or powder on her face.
However, even without makeup, her temperament can always arouse people's desire to conquer her.
Just like when you see a blank piece of paper you want to draw on it, you probably feel the same way when you see someone who is calm and has few emotions. You hope that she can add some worldly touch to you, with all its joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
Su Yili didn't wander around. She just stood outside and waited until Song Keling moved a chair and motioned for her to sit over. Then she walked over with a smile and said, "I heard Qiao Qiao say you were in a bad mood, so I specially ordered a small cake to be delivered."
She put the packed bag on the table.
As you can tell from the logo, the handmade pastries from this internet-famous cake shop are hard to come by.
Su Yili opened the cake box, picked up a piece and handed it to Song Keling, "Eating dessert will make you feel better~"
She has beautiful shiny manicure, but the style is not ostentatious or strange. The pink color makes her look sweet and cute.
Song Keling took it, thanked Senior Sister Su, and said, "Actually, I'm not in a bad mood."
"Really?" Su Yili looked like a caring older sister, folding her arms and gently placing them on the table. She smiled at Song Keling, "But I heard Qiao Qiao say that you weren't in good shape the whole day yesterday."
Song Keling, "I have classes in the morning, so I come to the lab in the afternoon."
Not all day.
Su Yili's eyes curved, and she readily changed her words: "So you were out of shape for the whole afternoon?"
Song Keling moved her lips but did not argue.
Su Yili said, "Eat it first. It's still steaming. It tastes like matcha."
"Um."
Song Keling's hands were a little dirty after eating. Just as she was about to get up to wash her hands, the person opposite her handed her a wet tissue and said, "Wipe your hands."
Song Keling then sat down again, "Thank you."
Su Yili pretended to be unhappy: "I didn't come here to listen to you say thank you all the time. Why, you still don't want to tell me about what happened to you recently?"
Song Keling paused slightly. She felt that since Senior Sister Qiao Ying had such a good relationship with Senior Sister Su, she must have told her about it.
Sure enough, the next moment, Su Yili said again: "Okay, I won't ask you about your business, ask about mine. Will there be any changes to our date tomorrow?"
Song Keling looked at her.
Su Yili smiled with her eyebrows and eyes curved, looking very pretty. She held her chin up, not angry or aggressive at all, and said, "How about this, if you take me to see the beautiful little snake you rescued, I might forgive you for letting me go."
Song Keling looked at Senior Sister Su's considerate and understanding smile and couldn't say anything to refuse.
Song Keling took Su Yili back to the dormitory.
Xu Xinlei is not here. She has no classes on Saturday, so she must be out on a date with her boyfriend.
Su Yili walked into the dormitory lightly and gracefully, with her hands playfully behind her back. She looked around and exclaimed, "Your new dormitory is so nice."
Song Keling smiled and took her into her room.
Before the two of them entered the room, the little white snake in the scum box on the table had already noticed the unusual noise. It immediately put away its leisurely posture and swam to the corner to curl up.
After the slender body was coiled up, a pair of fiery red vertical pupils were revealed, staring at the surroundings.
Song Keling said: "It used to be good-tempered and docile, but recently it has become a little moody."
Hearing the familiar movement, the little white snake's curled up body showed signs of relaxing slightly, but before it could completely relax, it heard an unfamiliar voice -
"Will he get angry and bite people?"
Then it instantly coiled its body tightly again, and all its snake scales stood up.
Song Keling paused for half a second and said, "I haven't let it out yet."
Su Yili: "I heard that if a pet snake is not well behaved, you can just play with it."
Song Keling was silent. It was a non-venomous pet snake.
But venomous snakes are different.
Don't get the hang of it if you want to cultivate it, and don't cultivate it if you get the hang of it, because it can bite you ten thousand times without success, but if you make a mistake just once, you will have to go to the hospital, and you may even lose your life.
The toxin that Qianqian bit into the mouse didn't seem very dangerous, but it might also be because the amount of poison injected last time was not much.
Once there are more.
This is an unknown toxin, and the hospital doesn't have any serum for it if you get bitten.
"Wow! Is this the one?!"
A strange voice came to the front.
The scales all over the little white snake stood up like thorns, and the moment the scum box was picked up, its coiled body arched into an S shape!
The next moment, the hissing sound of scales rubbing against each other quickly filled the entire dormitory.
Song Keling's heart skipped a beat. She immediately took the scumbag box from Su Yili's hand and said, "Don't hold it like that. It just finished eating and has a bad temper. It's very aggressive."
After saying that, he looked at Qianqian who was already furious and had exploded into a hedgehog in the box.
Song Keling was shocked, but she couldn't describe the complicated feelings she had.
She suddenly wondered if, just like girls have menstrual periods, snakes like Qianqian also have a special sensitive period. During this period, it would be dangerous for anyone approaching her.
Judging from Qianqian’s reaction to Senior Sister Su today.
The "attacks" on myself in the past two days were obviously very restrained and controlled.
Su Yili was also startled. She moved closer to Song Keling, her expression filled with panic. "What kind of snake is this? I've never seen a pet snake like this!"
No matter how ferocious the pet snake is, it would never behave like this.
"It's not a pet snake." Song Keling put down the scum box and explained to Su Yili, "It's wild. Senior Sister Qiao was wrong before."
Su Yili only had a vague knowledge about snakes, and she had studied hard overnight in order to have something to talk about with Song Keling today.
So she looked at the strange little white snake in the box and said, "Is it a poisonous snake?"
"From the current perspective, it's most likely." Song Keling said, and then added: "Don't touch it with your hands, and it will be fine."
Su Yili patted her chest, still feeling a lingering fear. She looked at Song Keling with a glint in her eyes, "Keling, you almost scared me to death just now..."
"I'm sorry, senior." Song Keling apologized. She felt very guilty because Qianqian was raised by her in the dormitory. Now that Qianqian scared people, it was of course her fault.
Song Keling raised her hand and patted Su Yili's back to comfort her, saying, "Now that we've seen it, let's go out first."
Su Yili didn't leave, but snuggled into Song Keling's arms, leaning her thin shoulders against hers. When she looked up, her eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "Wuwu..."
Seeing her so frightened, Song Keling felt even more guilty and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid."
Su Yili immediately put her arms around her waist.
The sudden hug startled Song Keling, who was trying to comfort someone.
That absurd dream suddenly came back to her mind. Although she couldn't see anyone at that time, Song Keling vaguely remembered the delicate and cool temperature like jade.
Thinking of the posture in her dream and what the other person said, Song Keling's brows couldn't help but jump. She showed a hint of reluctance, but still held Su Yili's shoulders firmly and gently pushed her away.
Su Yili looked at her. Although her eyes were tearful, her expensive makeup was not ruined by her tears. Her eyes were just slightly red, making her look pitiful.
Seeing this, Song Keling felt very guilty and blamed herself, but she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the scum box on the table.
Inside the box, the little snake, which had been fully armed and in attacking posture not long ago, has now loosened its body.
It raised its neck slightly, its red eyes staring straight at this side, without moving.
Song Keling felt guilty for leading a child astray. She covered her eyes with her hands and said, "Don't look."
Su Yili lowered her head to wipe her tears, thinking someone was talking to her, so she looked up and asked, "What?"
"No." Song Keling took out a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "I'll be flying back tomorrow afternoon. If you can't make it, let's make an appointment another day, Senior Sister."
Su Yili took it and agreed with a slight sob.
Song Keling sent Su Yili downstairs and then walked her all the way back to the old dormitory building which was quite far away.
The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.
This season is probably the most beautiful season in Xinda, and the timing is also right.
There are very few people coming and going.
Arriving at the dormitory building, Su Yili looked up at Song Keling with a look of anticipation, and a hint of reluctance. She said with a hint of meaning, "Do you want to go upstairs and sit for a while? My roommates are all out, and it's quite boring to be alone."
Song Keling refused.
Tomorrow she will take the little snake back to the school platform to release it. She also needs to sort out what happened in the dormitory today, so that before they separate, she won't continue to misunderstand that the little guy is difficult to raise and feel sad about it.
"Maybe there will be a chance next time." Song Keling said.
"Okay then." Su Yili replied with a hint of regret, then raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, looked at Song Keling and said with a smile, "I'll definitely do it next time."
Song Keling looked at her, thought for a moment, and nodded hesitantly.
Su Yili smiled sweetly, "Bye then~"
Song Keling watched Su Yili go upstairs and turned to leave.
She ran all the way back to the dormitory.
In the scum box, the little snake looked a little anxious, moving back and forth.
Even if Song Keling sat down at the desk.
It hasn't gotten out of that state either.
"Hey." Song Keling raised her hand and tapped the box, making a noise to attract its attention.
As expected, the little guy who was originally wandering around anxiously instantly curled up his body and made an attacking gesture towards Song Keling's finger that made the noise.
But this reaction was much milder than when he faced Su Yili just now.
One sample is not enough to prove anything. Maybe we can ask Xu Xinlei to try it too.
But Song Keling looked at the little guy with scales standing up all over his body and looking alert and vigilant, and felt sorry for him because he had to be so nervous and trembling from time to time. It would be terrible if he was scared and vomited his food later.
so……
Song Keling chose to unilaterally reconcile with the little white snake.
"Okay, I forgive you." Song Keling retracted her fingers and looked at the little snake in the box, which was also slowly relaxing. She said softly and gently, "Can you forgive me too?"
If Su Yili were present and saw Song Keling like this, she would definitely be shocked. The person she had pursued with so much difficulty would actually show such tenderness to a heartless little animal?!
The misunderstanding was resolved and Song Keling had a good sleep.
The next day, we got up early and took the high-speed train with the children.
After a few hours' drive, Song Keling took a taxi to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the mountain in front of me, I glanced at the time.
Song Keling was glad that senior Su Yili came to find her yesterday, otherwise she would not have been able to get back in time today.
Song Keling was wearing a pair of jeans today. The trouser legs were a bit wide and rolled up at several edges, revealing a beautiful and strong ankle.
It took her an hour to climb to the top of the mountain with her backpack on her back.
Following the direction she remembered, Song Keling found the fallen rock she had moved that day.
Seeing this, she finally remembered something. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand and said to herself, "I'm so stupid. Why didn't I take the cable car up from the other side?"
She lowered her head again: "Don't you think so?"
The little snake in the box raised its head when it heard the noise, and its upper body shook slightly.
This seems to be an agreement with this statement.
Song Keling took out the snake hook.
Despite my self-conceit, I spent many days with this little guy and developed some friendship with him.
But the reality is cruel.
The snake would not talk about friendship with her.
Song Keling shook the little snake down, then opened the scum box and used a snake hook to hook up its slender and beautiful body.
After many days, the man and the snake finally faced each other without any obstacles.
No transparent plastic box blocking it.
The indescribable beauty of the little snake made Song Keling's heart beat fast. It didn't move at all, as if it had mistaken the snake hook for a branch, and it coiled up steadily and upright with its upper body.
Those red vertical pupils were more gorgeous than before, as bright red as a blooming peony.
And with his breathing, the slightly erected scales rose and fell, a whiter color than snow and frost.
The two extreme colors bring extreme visual impact under the sun.
It took Song Keling a lot of self-control to avoid risking her life by reaching out and gently stroking it.
She knew that this chance encounter would eventually become an irreplaceable and wonderful experience in her memory.
And the little one who returns to the forest will not remember her.
It shuttles through the green grass or lush branches.
It preys on small lizards and rodents and drinks clean dew or rainwater.
When winter comes, it will find a warm and dry cave to take a long nap. When spring comes, it will shake off its scales and slowly crawl out to bask in the sun.
It would not remember a human saving her.
There will be no time to spend together.
"Let's go home, Qianqian." Song Keling gently placed the snake hook in her hand on the grass. When the little snake landed on the ground, she retracted the hook and looked at its tiny body. With a forced sense of relief and ease, she said, "Goodbye."
