Lu Qingyan belatedly realized and shyly covered her face: Beauty can be a trap! This guy actually has such an unruly time, playing this trick on her.
She didn't feel it when she was at Jinshan Temple, but when she arrived at the Broken Bridge, Lu Qingyan felt that the weather was exceptionally cold.
Lu Qingyan thought for a moment, then transformed into a small snake and slithered into Fahai's arms. Snowflakes were falling heavily on West Lake, the water now frozen into a deep, leaden blue, still surface. Mist shrouded the lake, a lone goose skimmed across the water, and distant mountains appeared and disappeared in the hazy snow. A few small boats drifted on the lake, the shore adorned with jade-like trees and silver ornaments, the verdant landscape along the lake already covered in white snow, as if one were immersed in a profound ink wash painting—truly a feast for the eyes!
Fahai was in a hurry and didn't bother to take a good look at the beautiful scenery before him. However, Lu Qingyan in his arms glanced at it briefly and regretted that she was a snake that needed to hibernate. Otherwise, she could have stayed here and enjoyed the scenery.
Even if she didn't say it, Fahai could see through her thoughts.
He let out a soft, indulgent chuckle: "Susu, I'll bring you back for a proper visit after we've finished our business."
Lu Qingyan instantly wrapped her arms around Fahai with satisfaction: "Yes, this is how a snake should live—eating delicious food and enjoying beautiful scenery."
At this time, Xu Xian was still living with his sister and brother-in-law. The Li family in Qiantang was easy to find; as soon as Fahai asked, someone kindly led the way.
"The Li family is really unlucky. They finally had a child after so many years of marriage, but the new wife ruined it." The old woman leading the way sighed and shook her head. "If you ask me, this Mr. Xu is really unreliable. He left home without a word all these years and didn't even come back. His sister finally managed to bring him back, but he's a jinx."
"His sister didn't say anything?" It seems that the white snake has been doing quite well lately. I just wonder if Xu Jiaorong still remembers when Bai Zhenzhen transformed into her true form and scared her.
The old woman raised her voice and said, "Even if you're not satisfied, what can you do? Everyone knows that Xu Jiaorong cherishes her younger brother the most. And now that the new bride is pregnant, she'll definitely treat her like a treasure."
The old lady spoke with great intonation and expression, gesturing animatedly, and even Fahai couldn't help but smile.
“I went to their house the day before yesterday. According to the calendar, that woman should be giving birth around this time. If she were my daughter-in-law, I would kick her out as soon as she gave birth!” The old woman rolled her eyes at the wooden door by the roadside and gestured with her lip, “Look, this is their house.”
They look like they've lived here for many years, and the wooden door is quite old. But because of years of maintenance, it's still quite sturdy.
As soon as Fahai looked up, he saw a red light flash across the sky and land in the courtyard. He nodded, realizing that the God of Literature had descended to earth.
The people on the street seemed oblivious to what was happening and continued with their own business. The old woman who had led the way walked up to the door without batting an eye.
The moment the door was knocked twice, the sound of a baby crying came from inside.
The old woman exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, she was fine yesterday and gave birth today! How could it be so fast? My daughter-in-law was in labor for a whole day and night."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyan silently answered for her in her heart: Because human beings giving birth and snakes laying eggs are inherently different.
The old lady thought that everyone was busy at this time and no one would come to open the door for a while, but she didn't expect the door to open so quickly.
