Chapter 249: Chapter 249: A Grown Man Afraid of Snakes

The three of them picked wildflowers, wild fruits, and played games with the kids… bursts of laughter and joy erupted from time to time.

Cary truly lived up to his title as the king of variety shows, dropping a joke every three minutes, and a punchline every five, keeping the audience in stitches.

Feeling a bit tired from playing, he casually picked a large fish from Meng Jin’s basket and said to Ye Xian and Chen Jiaxuan, “Hey, are you guys hungry? How about we grill some fish to eat?”

“Yes, yes!”

Chen Jiaxuan clapped her hands excitedly.

Ye Xian raised an eyebrow and looked at Meng Jin who was staring at her and Cary with a ‘sworn enemy’ kind of gaze from the fishpond, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit worried.

It’s better to provoke a gentleman than a petty person.

Cary deliberately swaggered in front of Meng Jin, clearly trying to rile him up. If he pushed this guy too far, he might do something desperate in a fit of pique…

“What are you spacing out for? The fish is almost ready.”

Cary brought the grilled fish close to Ye Xian’s mouth, and she took a bite, “Ew–”

Cary: “…”

Ye Xian: “It’s really bad, others charge money for grilling fish, you could take a life with yours!”

Chen Jiaxuan: “Hahaha~”

Cary scratched his head, “My cooking skills were never good, why don’t you try grilling?”

“Let’s just go somewhere else to play.”

It’s not very pleasant to be constantly looked at with loathing here.

“I was thinking the same thing!” Cary snapped his fingers, feeling he had provoked Meng Jin enough, it was time to pull a killer move, “Let’s go play in the reed marsh ahead.”

Ye Xian: “What do we play in the reed marsh?”

“You’ll know when we get there!”

Cary pushed her to walk ahead. When they arrived at the edge of a small river in the reed marsh, he stopped looking around.

Ye Xian wondered, “What are you looking for?”

Chen Jiaxuan knew what he was up to and whispered in her ear, “Brother Cary is preparing to catch a…”

“Found it!”

She hadn’t even finished her sentence when Cary excitedly shook Ye Xian’s arm and pointed at a reed swaying in the marsh.

On the reed, a Jade Spotted Snake with black and grey patterns was coiled, its body flexible and its head hissing as it flicked its tongue.

“Look, isn’t it…”

“Ah!!”

Cary was about to boast about his good luck when he was interrupted by Ye Xian’s terrifying scream.

The camera swept over the Jade Spotted Snake, and the live stream’s comments echoed Ye Xian’s shrieking voice.

Turning around, Cary saw Ye Xian trembling behind Chen Jiaxuan, looking like a startled puppy.

Chen Jiaxuan: “…” Eh? Isn’t the script flipped? Shouldn’t it be her, the girl, hiding behind him, the guy?

[Ahhhh, that snake looks so scary]

[Ye Xian’s reaction is so genuine, hiding behind Xuanxuan when scared]

[Never thought Brother Ye would be afraid of snakes, always so cool hahaha what a contrast moe]

[Can’t handle it, I just saw Ye Xian’s hair stand on end for a second hahaha]

[Damn, I’ve been calling him Brother Ye, now please allow me to call him ‘baby’ for a second, baby is so cute!]

[Baby, don’t be scared of the snake, come to mommy’s embrace, mommy will fight it off for you~]

Seeing Ye Xian shake all over from fear of the snake, Cary paused for a second and then burst into relentless laughter.

“Hahahaha, Ye Xian is afraid of snakes, hahaha, a big man like Ye Xian is scared of such a little snake, hahaha!”

He mocked her in front of tens of millions of viewers, laughing uproariously.

Ye Xian wanted to curse him, she even wanted to kick him into the river, but she was too frightened, her legs feeling weak. Forget about kicking, even speaking was a problem.
