Chapter 26 Mom! "Of course you won't eat me! I'm awesome..."
Why can’t it go and sleep with its junior schoolmate?
Because it bites?
Qianqian watched and thought, then slowly lowered her body and curled up in the corner of the breeding box near Song Keling.
I will definitely not bite her again in the future.
It's late at night and the moonlight is quiet.
Song Keling, who was already asleep on the big bed, moved her eyes slightly under her eyelids. She entered a deep sleep and began to dream.
In the dream, she was doing homework for her major.
A cartoon was playing on a tablet nearby, and suddenly a childish voice said, "Why don't I have a little bear?"
"What little bear?" She stopped writing and looked over.
A three or four-year-old child with scarlet pupils and delicate features sat in front of a tablet. With a saliva-soaked finger, the child poked at the raccoon on the screen that was following Nezha. The child looked over and pleaded in a baby voice, "Mom, I want this~"
Song Keling looked at it and said, "You can't have it."
"Why?" The child felt wronged, and his voice instantly became tearful.
Song Keling went over and picked her up, explaining gently, "Of course, that's because raccoons eat snakes."
"Will the little bear eat its mother?"
Song Keling was about to say she wouldn't eat me, but she didn't expect a coquettish and arrogant voice to come from the other side of the bedroom - "Of course you won't eat me! I'm a powerful snake!"
Song Keling held her child and looked over with a smile, but saw nothing. The alarm clock rang and she opened her eyes.
Song Keling picked up her cell phone to check the time. She forgot about her dream and turned to look at the breeding box on the bedside table.
Perhaps because she was annoyed by the noisy sound from the tablet, Qianqian curled up, burying her little head in the circles of bodies surrounding her. It was a pile of white, and her scales rose and fell slightly with her breathing. Occasionally, you could see her pink body underneath.
Song Keling did not disturb the little one who was still sleeping, nor did she turn off the tablet. She just turned down the volume so that Qianqian could continue watching when she woke up.
After washing up, she went out to make breakfast.
Although there were all the ingredients in the kitchen, Song Keling didn't know how to cook. Fortunately, there was still a lot of seafood porridge left from the one cooked by senior Su Yili yesterday.
Song Keling heated up the porridge, ate it, and went downstairs to leave the community.
My bedroom needs a surveillance camera. If I buy it online, I’ll have to wait two days, so I might as well go to the mall and buy one in person.
Originally, she thought she was just going to buy a surveillance camera, but she didn't expect there were so many styles. Song Keling couldn't help but take a closer look. She then went to a reptile shop to buy some small toys and asked the store owner specifically about medium and large reptile cabinets.
It was already noon when we were ready to go back.
Song Keling packed a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles from the food and beverage floor of the mall and took it home to eat.
When she got home, Song Keling looked at the breeding box on the bedside table as soon as she entered the bedroom.
It turned out that the breeding box could no longer hold the little snake.
Qianqian was outside again, but she didn't run around. Instead, she curled up in front of the tablet, with her head and neck upright, "watching cartoons seriously."
When it heard the door open, it turned its head and looked over, then swam over happily to greet it.
Song Keling was afraid that it would fall, so she hurried forward, but she was still too slow.
The little white snake "took off" at the edge of the table and "crashed" on the carpet.
Song Keling was terrified when she saw this.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in this "plane crash". Qianqian even showed to be quite experienced. After falling on the carpet, she quickly found her direction and crawled over in an S shape again.
Song Keling put down the various things she had bought, picked it up and put it back on the table.
She was glad she hadn't turned off the cartoon on her tablet when she left.
Otherwise, if I come back now, I will have to look for the snake everywhere again.
But Qianqian escaped from prison but did not run away. She just sat in front of the tablet and watched cartoons seriously, which was very human.
This caused Song Keling to feel conflicted.
Other people’s cats and dogs don’t need to be kept in cages, so why does such a well-behaved and sensible little snake need one?
That’s of course because Qianqian is too small and can easily hide and be lost.
More importantly, it's poisonous.
The "free-range" approach is very irresponsible to her, Qianqian, and other residents in the community.
However, Qianqian seems to understand human nature.
It watches cartoons and cooperates extremely well every time she picks it up.
And after being bitten last time, she even had the illusion for a moment that Qianqian was apologizing to her.
Song Keling put on the gloves as if possessed by a ghost and stretched out her hand in front of Qianqian to verify.
Qianqian looked at it and tilted her head slightly.
It couldn't understand what humans meant, but it liked the warmth of the junior sister's fingers, so it didn't hesitate, raised its neck, and climbed up slowly and tentatively.
Not smooth and soft fingers, but a slightly rough glove texture.
Song Keling saw that Qianqian didn't open her mouth to bite, but instead crawled onto her hand without any attacking gesture.
There will be no gloves if you climb higher.
Reason told Song Keling to grab Qianqian, but although she had the idea, her other hand did not move.
So the little snake successfully crawled from the glove to Song Keling's wrist.
Song Keling was a little nervous and stared at him without blinking. The naked skin felt cool, delicate and smooth against her.
As the little snake moved, every scale on its abdomen moved, and Song Keling felt a subtle yet clear sensation of muscles pulling and moving on her wrist.
"Qianqian." Song Keling called softly.
Qianqian, who was crawling seriously, heard it, stopped and looked up at her.
During this time, he vomited some tongue.
Song Keling knew that it looked at her warily after hearing the sound, and it didn't really understand that she was calling it.
But at that moment when the little snake looked up.
Song Keling was very sure that she still felt a great and indescribable emotion in her heart.
The research project she was involved in came to a temporary end, and Song Keling no longer had to stay in the laboratory all day. After eating her rice noodles and installing the camera facing the desktop tablet, she checked the doors and windows and closed all the room doors.
In fact, for safety reasons, the air conditioner should also be completely covered.
But Song Keling thought that no matter how naughty the little guy was, he wouldn't be able to climb that high, so she let him go for the time being.
Song Keling went to the school library in the afternoon.
While reading the information, I also watched the surveillance footage connected to my phone.
This time when Song Keling went out, she did not put Qianqian back into the breeding box. Since the box could no longer hold it, she simply opened the lid and let it come in and out freely.
The tablet was placed on the table supported by the tablet case, and the cartoon was still playing on it.
This video platform is very easy to use. After the cartoon is finished playing, it will not pause, but will jump to other animations or movies of similar themes to continue playing. As long as there is network and power, it will never stop.
Song Keling watched it several times, but the little snake had limited attention span and didn't watch the animation all the time.
Occasionally, it would wander around, for example, to "carefully" study other ornaments on the table, or crawl back to the breeding box to drink some water.
The camera is worth the money, as it can capture the snake's movements without any blind spots.
Song Keling was not paying attention to the serious matters and was tilting her head. She didn't even realize that a faint smile was unconsciously plastered on her face.
Or maybe someone else in the class recognized her and came over to her and called her softly.
Song Keling stopped smiling and looked over, nodding slightly to the person who came.
"What are you looking at?" The classmate sat down and leaned in to look at her phone. The surveillance footage was so wide that she couldn't catch the main point for a moment. She said, "And you're laughing while you're watching it."
Song Keling just said that she had a small animal, then put her phone upside down on the table and continued to look through the information.
The afternoon passed in a flash.
Song Keling had something to do for the next two days, so she got the opportunity to attend an academic conference with her supervisor.
I have to finish reading all the content of the professional courses today.
If you can’t finish reading, borrow the book and take it home to read.
Before leaving school, Song Keling went to the laboratory.
Qianqian, a snake, is not bored at all at home.
It climbed up and down, and when Song Keling was not watching the surveillance camera, it even fell off the table and climbed towards the soft big bed that it had been thinking about all night.
It first climbed onto the pillow, then nestled into the soft and smooth quilt, then crawled into one end of the quilt and came out from the other end. Without noticing, it fell to the ground with a thud.
There was no carpet around the bed, unlike around the table.
Qianqian fell down hard, but fortunately the height was not high, so she crawled back to the table in shame.
But the table was too high, and after making a lot of noise for the whole afternoon, it was already exhausted, so it just fell asleep on the soft carpet.
Song Keling was shocked when she didn't see it when she returned home. She took out the surveillance camera and saw the little snake sleeping in the middle.
Song Keling put on gloves and carefully picked it up and put it back in the breeding box to continue sleeping. After eating the takeaway, she adjusted the lights and took notes while reading books and materials.
After finishing, Song Keling took out the snake skin that had been cleaned last night and evenly applied the boric acid she got from the laboratory on the inside of the snake skin.
This is a necessary step before making specimens: preservation.
Song Keling was working seriously. When she heard a rustling sound beside her, she only had time to look up and saw Qianqian, who had woken up, crawling out of the breeding box and falling on the table the next moment.
Seeing this, Song Keling went to the kitchen to get a few chopsticks, fixed them into a rack to connect the breeding box and the table top.
This will make it easier for Qianqian to climb without having to fall down.
As for the floor, Song Keling has contacted the merchant to purchase carpets, and once they are delivered, she will cover the entire bedroom with them.
Song Keling didn't realize that she was being too considerate to a little snake that would be released sooner or later.
She used the pen in her hand to play with Qianqian for a while. Seeing the little guy staggering after her with a pair of horn scales on his head, her heart moved slightly.
"Qianqian."
Qianqian originally wanted to stop her moving fingers, but failed. When she heard the human calling her, she looked up and spit out her tiny tongue.
No words can accurately describe Song Keling's inner emotions at this moment.
She named the little snake Qianqian.
And now, it seems that as long as she calls this name, Qianqian will stop and look over no matter what she is doing.
Does it really understand human nature?
Song Keling knew that this idea was very emotional and irrational, so she stopped talking and moving, thinking about everything that had happened. When she realized that she was distracted, the little snake was climbing up the pen and onto her fingers.
It is said that it is difficult to cultivate poison.
But Song Keling was not particularly frightened when she saw the beautiful little white snake slowly crawling onto her fingers.
The cold touch moved across her fingers, more like moving across her heart bit by bit.
Song Keling watched with bated breath, seeing Qianqian tilting her neck and slowly approaching her. Her progress was serious yet a little clumsy, and every time she advanced a little, she would spit out a thin black needle to determine the direction of the breath.
It had no intention of attacking and looked over with a pair of beautiful red vertical pupils.
Song Keling couldn't help it and gently stroked its head with her fingers.
Maybe she was still poisoned. This poison did not harm her body, but paralyzed her brain and made her lose the most instinctive vigilance against danger.
Otherwise, how could she allow a poisonous little snake to crawl on her hand?
