Chapter 26: Playing the Tune

When Ye Yuxuan saw this situation, his face turned even colder, and the anger in his eyes grew more and more intense.

He stared at the embarrassed Yu Shuya, as if he was certain that she was the one who had instigated the poisonous snake not to return to its master’s side.

“Why don’t you call it a few times?”

Ye Yuxuan tried to pull the poisonous snake a few times, but was instead frightened by its open mouth.

Seeing this, Yu Shuya hurriedly pinched the head of the venomous snake and taught it not to bite anyone.

“Venomous snake, I am your master, Ye Yuxuan. I order you to come back quickly.”

Ye Yuxuan pulled the tail of the venomous snake and gave a stern order, but the venomous snake only wagged the tip of its tail to show its dissatisfaction.

“Brother Ye, why don’t you try other methods, such as what does the venomous snake usually like?”

When Yu Shuya heard Ye Yuxuan reveal his name, she immediately called him Brother Ye.

Although this guy was young, his attire and his manners were extraordinary. Even if he appeared in these deep mountains, no one would mistake him for a wild boy who ran around in the mountains.

No matter what, even they could not become friends, they should not become enemies.

At the thought of this, the smile on Yu Shuya’s face grew wider.

“Brother Ye, you don’t have to be anxious. Take your time to think about what venomous snakes love to eat. What do they like to do? What do the two of you usually do when you’re together?”

Yu Shuya’s words seemed to have magical powers. It made the impatient and angry Ye Yuxuan slowly calm down and think about what she said.

The poisonous snake usually only liked to eat raw meat, sleep and scare strangers. Other than that, there was nothing else to think about.

Moreover, he had kept the poisonous snake by his side since it hatched. It had been more than a year now, and it would only occasionally wrap itself around his wrist. Sometimes, even he, the owner, was not allowed to touch it.

When Ye Yuxuan thought of this, his heart was almost aching. The envy and jealousy on his face could not be hidden.

When Yu Shuya heard Ye Yuxuan’s answer, she could not help but be stunned.

It was better not to say these few words. What was the use of that?

She tried hard to recall what snakes loved. In the end, she thought of listening to music.

Snakes seemed to be more sensitive to sound and music. She remembered that many people used flute sounds to tame snakes in the past.

“Why don’t I play a song for it and see if I can hypnotize the poisonous snake?”

Ye Yuxuan looked at Yu Shuya speechlessly when he heard this.

Who did she think she was? She was just a wild girl in the mountains, and she was such an ugly girl. Did she know how to play a song?

Unexpectedly, before he could refute, Yu Shuya picked up a leaf and started to play.

She was playing a classic nursery rhyme from the modern world. It was also a lullaby that many mothers used to coax their children to sleep.

Not only could Yu Shuya sing, she could also play various kinds of music. It was even easier to play with a leaf.

Ye Yuxuan had never heard such a strange song. However, despite his young age, he could tell that this song was the best he had ever heard.

He looked at Yu Shuya, who was playing the piece with her eyes closed. He knew that it was not only because the piece was good, but also because the person who was playing it had superb skills.

Unknowingly, he was intoxicated by the music, and his mind was unprecedentedly relaxed.

As for the poisonous snake, it was also very respectful. After Yu Shuya stopped playing, he straightened his body and looked at her with bright eyes. He did not show any signs of wanting to sleep at all. Instead, he was unprecedentedly excited.

He looked at Yu Shuya without blinking. He really hoped that she could play another song.

“Hehe, this little thing really knew how to appreciate it,” Yu Shuya thought to herself.
