Chapter 28 Snake

Shadow was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The moment he swung his fist, a gust of wind that could blow a person’s headed straight towards Bai Yihe.

“Argh!”

Just as the evil wind was about to hit him, Bai Yihe fell onto the bed with Qu Yao in his arms. The gust of wind made a hole in the wall.

He apologized gently and guiltily, “I’m sorry, Yao Yao. I couldn’t see. I fell down by accident.”.

He tugged at Qu Yao’s clothes. Although half of Qu Yao’s shoulder was exposed, he used his body to block it so Shadow couldn’t see it. However, Shadow could see half of Qu Yao’s clothes being pulled down by half.

“Let me check if you’re injured.”

He reached out and touched Qu Yao’s collar. “Don’t worry. Although I can’t see it, the feeling in my hands has never been wrong.”

Shadow couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed over. He raised the dagger high in his hand and aimed it at Bai Yihe’s back. Just as the dagger was about to fall, Bai Yihe held Qu Yao and used his skill to switch their positions.

Qu Yao completely lay on Bai Yihe’s body and buried her head in his neck.

Shadow used all his strength to stab Bai Yihe with his dagger. However, seeing the change in position, he quickly changed its direction. The tip of the dagger brushed past Qu Yao’s clothes on her back.

He covered his mouth and shouted in his heart, “F*ck!”

He was so close to stabbing the dagger into his beloved Yao Yao with his own hands!!

His entire body was covered in cold sweat. He glared fiercely at Bai Yihe, who was smiling innocently, and disappeared into the room.

Bai Yihe held Qu Yao, who was lying on his body, and put his hands on her waist. He asked in a low voice, “Do you want to sleep with me today?”

The room was very quiet. Only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard outside the door.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes,” he whispered in Qu Yao’s ear.

That night, Qu Yao slept very soundly. She dreamed of her life before she was five years old. Although her memory was blurry, there were still some fragments of her life.

Her father was sick in bed, but he still loved her very much. He dragged his sick body to buy her delicious osmanthus crisps. She always wanted to eat candied haws, but her father was worried that she would spoil her teeth. It was not until the day he died that he sent someone to buy it for her, he said that it was okay to eat them once in a while.

Unfortunately, she did not eat the string of candied haws, because when she got it, her sister’s earth-shattering crying came from the room.

At that time, she was about four years old.

Her sister had always been good to her. She told her father and mother that they had become stars. Whenever she missed them, she would look up at the stars. Unfortunately, the city was full of candlelight and lanterns. She always felt that she could not see clearly.

When she was five years old, her sister suddenly said that she would take her to the vicinity of Green Wave Lake. That place was closest to the stars, so she could see them clearly.

Her dream ended here. The only good things in the human world happened to be recalled all over again this night.

The sky was bright. She rubbed her aching head and saw where she slept.

This bed…

She suddenly woke up. She had drunk too much last night and actually slept in Bai Yihe’s room. At this moment, she was in Bai Yihe’s arms! She wanted to push him away, but she was afraid that she would wake him up. She used two fingers to push his shoulders away. Just as she was about to get up, she was hugged even tighter by Bai Yihe.

“I was so tired last night. Let’s sleep a little longer.” Bai Yihe’s voice was hoarse.

“…” What did he mean by ‘so tired?

She hurriedly looked at her clothes and let out a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not taken off her clothes. It seemed that nothing had happened. Just as she relaxed for a second, she suddenly woke up.

Tail!!

Bai Yihe was letting her golden snake tail wrap around his legs! He also touched it while he was half asleep.

“What’s wrapping around me?” Bai Yihe didn’t open his eyes, but his hand had already grabbed the snake tail.

“Don’t –“

Ah…It’s over.

“Snake!”

Bai Yihe’s eyes were wide open as he screamed in pain and quickly threw the snake tail away.

Qu Yao finally had a chance to turn the snake’s tail back into her legs. Before she could catch her breath, she was pulled off the bed by a strong force.

“Run!! Yao Yao, run!! Don’t mind me!”

Bai Yihe held the blind cane by the bedside and beat around on the bed, dragging Qu Yao off the bed.

Qu Yao wanted to stop him, and she kept comforting him, “It ran away, it ran away…”

Unexpectedly, Bai Yihe held the blind staff tightly and fainted straight away.
