Chapter 79: Someone who is truly in love cannot just...
Song Keling was just joking, even if it didn't seem to work. The child's logic may sound convoluted, but if you strip away the conditional elements and focus solely on the cause-and-effect relationship, it's easy to understand.
When, zero.
Maybe fifty.
If it is not right, you will get one hundred.
What she wants is this kind of black-and-white probability.
But the logic is not important. What is important is that Song Keling understood one thing from Qianqian's words.
Song Keling withdrew her hand and said, "The whole thing about my goddaughter and sister is just a figment of my imagination, right?"
Qianqian didn't know what "nonsense" meant, and didn't understand why Song Keling suddenly stopped being anxious. She followed her to the bed and turned over the pillow.
Seeing that Qianqian didn't answer, Song Keling rummaged through her pillows, bag, and drawers.
Just as I was about to ask what she was looking for, she cried out "Ah!" and slapped her thigh, as if she had just remembered: "Oh no! I think I dropped my phone on the mountain! When I turned back into a snake!"
After Qianqian finished speaking, she turned to look at Song Keling, her eyes full of help.
Song Keling poured herself a glass of water and drank half of it. She leaned against the table, looked at her, and said, "Not only did your phone fall on the mountain, it was also broken. I took it to get the screen replaced for you."
"Then what?"
"It will take some time before I can replace it and return it to you."
Qianqian suddenly looked depressed.
Song Keling asked, "Why are you looking for your phone?"
Qianqian said, "I want to find out what the meaning of 'fictitious' is."
"You're so eager to learn." Song Keling smiled and asked if she wanted some water. Qianqian nodded, and Song Keling walked over to her with a cup of water. She handed it to her and said, "Zixu and Wuyou are fictional characters created by Sima Xiangru. We now use the term to refer to someone who fabricates something that is unreal and non-existent."
Qianqian felt very guilty when she heard this. She took the cup, said "oh", and then her eyes drifted away quietly.
Qianqian drank the water, returned the cup to Song Keling, and asked, "Can I use your phone?"
"What are you going to do?"
"it works!"
Song Keling took out her cell phone and gave it to her.
Qianqian took the phone and saw Song Keling looking at her, so she turned her back to prevent her from seeing the phone. Song Keling shook her head and laughed, then went to the bathroom to wash up.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Song Keling dried her hands with a towel, squeezed some hand cream on them, and turned to see Qianqian blocking the door. She was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qianqian held up her mobile phone, and the interface showed Song Keling’s WeChat.
Qianqian said pitifully, "I want to log into my WeChat account."
Qianqian later reapplied for the account herself. Song Keling asked, "Do you remember your WeChat ID and password?"
Qianqian nodded repeatedly.
Song Keling took the phone, logged out, and entered her account and password. Then she said, "No, logging in on a new device requires a phone verification code. Your phone has been sent in for repair."
"My card was also sent in for repair?"
"..." Song Keling hadn't really remembered this. She looked at her, was silent for two seconds, and said, "They took the phone along with it. I figured you wouldn't be able to use it for the time being anyway."
"So what do we do now?"
"What are you going to do on WeChat when your phone is repaired and returned?"
Qianqian promised Shi Ling to keep it a secret, so she wouldn't tell Song Keling. But she couldn't find a suitable excuse, so she could only urge Song Keling to come out so that it would be her turn to wash up.
Song Keling made room for her to come in, then leaned against the door, looking at her from behind and said, "Have you added her as a friend on WeChat?"
Qianqian was squeezing toothpaste, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her voice guiltily and replied, "No! I haven't added anyone as a friend!"
Song Keling: "Then what do you want to use WeChat for? Buy things?"
"Yes." Qianqian could only agree: "I want to buy the matcha chocolate sandwich cookies that I bought tonight. They are delicious."
"Let me help you check." Song Keling opened the shopping app and searched. It was a foreign snack, so she found a purchasing agent to place an order.
Qianqian has already washed her face and put on a facial mask.
Song Keling saw her pouting and slowly pressing down the small bubbles of mask around her lips. She thought to herself, who said it was a child's? Her mental state is already that of a grown-up girl.
Tonight is Qianqian’s first night living here as a human.
It was also the first night the two reconciled.
Song Keling felt something strange in her heart. In order to hide this change, she lay down on the bed early and pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.
It's quiet inside.
The lights were turned off, leaving only the bright moonlight from outside.
Occasionally you can hear the chirping of cicadas or insects.
Qianqian twisted and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she turned to Song Keling and whispered, "Song Keling, are you asleep?"
Song Keling closed her eyes and responded, "Yeah."
Qianqian snickered, "Why would you answer me if you were asleep?"
“…”
"It's no use not responding now. I already know you're not asleep. Next time you want to pretend to be asleep, remember not to respond in the first place."
Song Keling stopped pretending to sleep, turned over and faced her sideways.
I don’t know if it’s the scent of the mask or the lotion, it’s soft with a hint of fresh grass, and also has a sweet milky scent that kids love.
Song Keling could see her bright and beautiful eyes in the moonlight, which were curved like a crescent moon.
How could someone's smile be so contagious?
Song Keling secretly corrected herself in her heart: It’s not a human, it’s a little snake demon.
"Can't you sleep? What do you want to talk about?" Song Keling asked.
Qianqian responded and continued the topic that had ended without any result. "Song Keling, the fact that I was your elder sister was completely fabricated."
Song Keling smiled and said, "I know."
Qianqian was surprised, "How did you know?"
Song Keling didn't say that her mother conveyed some incredible attitudes to her on the first night. In fact, if you think about it, you will know. That night, her mother tried to match them up. How could she turn around and recognize Qianqian as her goddaughter?
It was also because I was thinking too much in the car at that time, and my thoughts were at a delicate critical point, so when I heard my mother's words, I subconsciously fell into the vicious circle created by Qianqian.
In fact, in front of Qianqian, the mother should still maintain the personality of "not knowing". How could she possibly adopt a little snake as her goddaughter?
What my mother said that night was clearly said from the perspective of a mother-in-law (?).
"It's human instinct, there's no reason for it."
"This is too foul."
"It's okay. You'll have it after you become a human." Song Keling said it casually. The two were very close, and she looked at Qianqian without dodging her gaze. "Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever asked about you."
Qianqian was curious: "Why do you want to ask me about my affairs?"
"Because we need to understand each other. Just like now, you know I have two older brothers, where I went to college, what my major was, that I've met my parents, and that we've vacationed together." Song Keling said, "But I know nothing about you. You said you were an orphan, so do you have any brothers or sisters? Can they all become human like you? How old are you? Were you born in the mountains of Xuetai City?"
Qianqian frowned in distress, "So many questions."
Song Keling gently guided them in a low voice: "You can answer them one by one slowly. The night is still long. We can talk for a long, long time. You can tell us everything about yourself."
"Yeah, okay." Qianqian was easily appeased. After thinking carefully, she said, "I remember I was a little snake. I ate bugs, earthworms, sometimes ants, small frogs, or hard-shelled insects."
Song Keling: ...There’s no need to say this.
Qianqian said, "Finding bugs is a difficult task. After I've eaten, I'll bask in the sun for a bit, drink some water, and rest before looking again. That day, I was just finishing my meal when I heard a lot of people coming, so I hid in the grass to observe. Unexpectedly, a large rock felt loose and about to fall overhead. I estimated its trajectory and didn't know which way to run. Then I realized I should spit out the bugs first, but as soon as I did, I got hit on the tail."
This scene must have looked quite funny at the time.
But as a listener, Song Keling couldn't laugh at all. She knew how panicked Qianqian was when she was still a little snake.
"You hadn't discovered me at that time, and then you came." Qianqian looked at Song Keling and said, "You helped me move the stone. I think you must be a good person. Although I felt dizzy and uncomfortable along the way, and later I felt like I was dead and couldn't move, I found out later that you saved me. Song Keling, you are amazing. You are actually a doctor, right?"
"I wasn't," Song Keling said. "I was just trying my best. Experiments often require minor surgery on snakes, administering anesthesia and suturing. I have a lot of experience, but I can't guarantee I can save you."
Qianqian smiled again and said happily, "Thank you for saving me. I will marry you because you saved my life!"
When Song Keling heard this, her smiling lips dropped, and then gradually straightened again.
Qianqian was completely oblivious and continued to talk, saying that she turned into a human after being abandoned by her senior. At that time, she wanted to find her, but was inexplicably taken to a movie theater. There was a movie playing at the time, probably the animated film "Legend of the White Snake". The little snake in the movie could turn into a human. It was said that this was a snake demon...
"I was thinking, it turns out little snakes can turn into humans. If I turn into a human, can't I find you?" Qianqian said excitedly, "Then I will turn into a human."
After Qianqian finished speaking, she wanted to ask Song Keling whether she was powerful or not, but when she looked at her, she found that she had fallen asleep with her eyes closed at some point.
Qianqian whispered, "Song Keling? Song Keling?"
Song Keling didn't respond.
Qianqian looked at Song Keling's long eyelashes that fell when she fell asleep, and thought that Song Keling was still very good at lying. She said she could lie for a long, long time.
I only said this little bit.
But forget it, I'll save it for next time~
Qianqian moved closer to Song Keling, put her arms around her waist, found a comfortable position in her arms, and then fell asleep.
Song Keling waited until the person in her arms began breathing evenly and long before she slowly opened her eyes.
——"Thank you, because you saved my life, so I want to marry you!"
Song Keling already knew, how could the little snake demon understand the complex emotions of humans?
Qianqian is just a quick learner.
She read the Legend of the White Snake and watched many fairy movies, and knew that "a life-saving grace must be repaid with one's own body."
She thought everyone did it, so she had to do it too.
Apart from this, there is nothing special about me to her. If the person who saved her was Zhang San or Zhao Si, the ending would be the same.
Song Keling didn't know why she couldn't accept it when she heard Qianqian say it herself, even though she had known it for a long time.
My throat felt sore and I even felt like escaping and pretending to be asleep.
She rested her chin on Qianqian's head.
Hug your arms tighter.
No, since we have repeatedly emphasized the need to be serious, then you cannot be the only one who is truly in love.
