Su Luo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"She...she agreed to marry me!"
"?!?!"
Su Jiani was somewhat surprised.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
As Su Luo spoke, she stepped forward and reached out to touch Su Jiani's forehead.
But Su Jianni slapped the back of his hand, suppressing his anger.
"I'm not sick..."
Su Luo sat down opposite Su Jiani and said seriously.
"Nini, your winter break starts next week, right? I'm thinking of going to Tokyo this time and not coming back. How about we live in Tokyo from now on?"
Su Jianni's lips twitched slightly.
"Are you notifying me again?"
Su Luo's tone was somewhat unnatural, and he said guiltily.
"I... I'm just discussing this with you."
"Whatever! Humph!"
Su Jiani picked up the little crocodile plush toy beside her and quickly walked back to her room.
Su Luo shook her head and sighed helplessly.
He patted his pocket, about to light a cigarette, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the small snake in the glass box on the windowsill.
The little snake lay motionless on the sand pile, its eyes tightly closed.
Something's not right!
It doesn't usually sleep in this position.
Su Luoteng stood up abruptly, leaned forward, opened the lid, and gently pried at the small snake with tongs, saying nervously.
"Hey, Little Green, what's wrong?"
The little snake didn't react at all.
Wow.
Could he be dead?
No way! Isn't it said that this kind of snake is easy to raise, and it doesn't need to eat much in winter?
Su Luo put down the clamps and took the small snake out with her bare hands.
He was completely dead; his body was dry and stiff.
Oh no!
It's really dead. Xiaoman cherished this little snake and had asked him to take good care of it for her.
This is terrible; the person's beloved pet snake died while they were taking care of it.
Su Luo paced anxiously in circles, hesitating for a long time.
I decided to call Xiaoman right away; I would feel even more guilty if I kept it from her.
The call was made.
A few seconds later, a lazy, slightly hoarse voice came through the receiver.
"Hello?"
It's obvious that Ye Xiaoman has been up all night again and is sleeping right now.
Upon hearing Ye Xiaoman's voice, Su Luo's throat tightened with nervousness, and he stammered.
"Sister Xiaoman, it's me, um, um..."
Ye Xiaoman was sound asleep when she was woken up and became somewhat impatient.
"What is it? Speak quickly!"
Su Luo steeled her heart, "Little...Little Green is dead."
Ye Xiaoman instantly perked up and asked in surprise.
"What did you say? Dead? What happened?"
She didn't actually keep that snake for very long; she bought it after returning to China. Although she liked it, she wasn't particularly attached to it.
But she was still somewhat annoyed. How could Su Luo not even be able to raise a small snake properly? She was planning to raise a python in the future.
Su Luo said with remorse.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. Everything was fine just a couple of days ago."
Ye Xiaoman said angrily.
"What's wrong with you? Will an apology do any good? Do you know that's my baby? Didn't you promise me you'd take good care of her? What? You've forgotten my instructions now that you have a girlfriend?"
"No matter what, it's still a little life! How could you do this?"
He thought to himself.
So be it if I die. No matter how cute the little snake is, it's not as important as you. You're my precious baby.
Hearing Ye Xiaoman say this, Su Luo felt even more guilty.
"No, no, I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry, I... I'll get you another one, okay?"
Hearing Su Luo's aggrieved voice sound so soft, Ye Xiaoman felt great and continued to speak.
"What's the point of buying a new one? I want my little green one, don't you understand? You've really disappointed me. I trusted you so much, I'm so heartbroken, do you understand?"
"I understand, I, I..."
Su Luo was completely at a loss for words; this was indeed his own fault.
Damn it, why did this perfectly healthy little snake die?!
Ye Xiaoman suppressed a laugh and pretended to speak.
"My flight back to Beijing is tomorrow afternoon. You'd better be prepared to apologize to me in person!"
Su Luo was a little confused: "Huh?"
Why the sudden urge to come back? I want to see her and apologize to her in person.
No, that won't work.
She had promised Ozawa Nami that she wouldn't make her sad again. Although Ye Xiaoman wasn't her ex-girlfriend, she was still a female friend and her idol.
"What do you mean, 'You can't see me just because you have a girlfriend'? I'm your teacher, your good brother's sister, and your god-sister. What's there to be afraid of when you see me?"
Su Luo hesitated, "I, I..."
Ye Xiaoman said irritably, "Then give Xiao Lü back to me!"
Su Luo said, feeling wronged, "I'm sorry, I can't pay it back..."
Ye Xiaoman suddenly became serious.
"You don't actually think I'm interested in you, do you? Stop being so narcissistic, okay? Why don't you bring your girlfriend out so I can introduce her to you? I can also help you check her out. I consider you family, after all, you almost became my brother's wife, you understand?"
"They've already said all that, if Su Luo still disagrees, he'd really be ungrateful," she said with a smile.
"Oh well."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Even after hanging up the phone, Su Luo was still not quite in a daze.
Is this the right thing to do?
Her idol treated her like family and even asked her to bring her girlfriend over to help with the selection process?
Is he really going to bring Nami Ozawa with him?
Su Luo shook her head.
No, let's not see her. Although Ye Xiaoman is a popular lead singer, she's a rebellious girl at heart. With so many tattoos on her body, if Ye Xiaoman sees them, she might overthink things.
Anyway, he'll just have a meal and be right back. As long as he doesn't say anything, Ozawa Nami won't know.
no!
If this deliberate concealment is discovered, wouldn't it be impossible to explain oneself?
After much deliberation, Su Luo decided to tell Ozawa Nami about it.
Tell me now.
I found Ozawa Nami's phone number and dialed it without hesitation.
Nami Ozawa answered immediately.
"Lolo?"
Su Luo swallowed hard. "Wife, I have something to discuss with you."
Nami Ozawa asked, puzzled.
"What's up?"
Su Luo then recounted the whole story of the snake's death and its relationship with Ye Xiaoman.
Nami Ozawa fell silent.
After a long pause, he asked in confusion.
"Is the Ye Xiaoman you're talking about the lead singer of that rock band?"
Su Luo frankly replied, "Yes."
Nami Ozawa said magnanimously.
"Then go ahead, but come home right after you finish eating. I'll be waiting for you."
Aren't you coming with me?
Su Luo thought that Ozawa Nami would agree, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't come with her.
Did she completely trust him and believe that he would never cheat on her?
Or perhaps she was only wary of Song Lingshan, and had no wariness of Ye Xiaoman at all.
