C/W: interrupted sex scene. To avoid, thereâs three asterisks (***) above and below the interrupted sex scene.
Seeing Yin Xiaoxiao being crafty with his own eyes, Yin Xiaosi suddenly realized that their familyâs Xiaoxiao wasnât as foolish as heâd originally thought. Itâd be worse if Xiaoxiao could sneak away. Far better to agree, then at least his mind would be at rest. Looking inside his inherited memories, it didnât appear as though there was anything that could be found crawling along the side of the brook. So, he said, ââŠOkay, but we must return before dark, got it?â
As soon as he heard Yin Xiaosi agree, Yin Xiaoxiao happily responded, âGot it, got it.â Nevertheless, not wanting to wait for Yin Xiaosi to warn him again, Yin Xiaoxiao immediately ran to the bank of the brook and set off downstream.
Yin Xiaosi smiled helplessly, overwhelmed with doting affection.
Yin Xiaosi continued smiling until he heard a voice ask: âSi-ge, where are you going with Xiaoxiao?â, and he stopped smiling.
Displeased, Yin Xiaosi turned his head towards the voice âHua Xiaowu, Xiaoxiao just told me that you bullied him.â
âEh?â Hua Xiaowu was flabbergasted. Heâd bullied Xiaoxiao? When? Could it have beenâŠHua Xiaowu suddenly recalled the time on the road. That time heâd seen Xiaoxiao choking and moved away, could Xiaoxiao have known what heâd been thinking? Hr must have really hurt Xiaoxiaoâs feelings!
Thinking of this, Hua Xiaowu felt guilty, ashamed and uneasy.
Originally, Yin Xiaosi had merely been saying that. However, seeing the expression on Hua Xiaowuâs faceâŠYin Xiaosiâs eyes narrowed. Had Hua Xiaowu really bullied Xiaoxiao?
Now convinced of this, Yin Xiaosi grit his teeth in anger. Even he couldnât bear to bully Xiaoxiao, but Hua Xiaowu actually dared do this?! Yin Xiaosi bellowed, âHua Xiaowu!â
Hua Xiaowu trembled from head to tail <sup>1</sup> . Snake instincts screaming, he automatically turned tail to run. Yin Xiaosi chased after the fleeing Hua Xiaowu, bellowing.
The other young snakes froze, all of them curiously watching Hua Xiaowu and Yin Xiaosi. What were the two of them doing?
Cough cough, thereâs no need to discuss what <sup>2</sup> kind of fate befell Hua Xiaowu. Instead, letâs check in with Yin Xiaoxiao.
Having gotten Yin Xiaosiâs approval, Yin Xiaoxiao cheerfully slithered along the brook, following it downstream. Gradually, he moved further away from where Yin Xiaosi and the others were playing. Yin Xiaosi didnât notice. Any any case, he was slithering along the brook. If he wanted to return, he only needed to follow the brook, that was all.
But after slithering and slithering, Yin Xiaoxiao began to feel bored. Even after slithering like this for so long, the environment was still grass and more grass. Wasnât there anything else? This was really too boring.
Just as Yin Xiaoxiao had already decided to retrace his way back, Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a sound coming from the underbrush to his right.
Yin Xiaoxiao listened carefully. This soundâŠ
Was a snake!
Yin Xiaoxiao paled with fright, wanting nothing more than to run helter-skelter down the road.
ââŠMy bad. Thatâs right, Iâm also a snake!â Yin Xiaoxiao realized as heâd turned to run.
He had probably not been afraid of snakes only because heâd been constantly mentally prepared to see snakes since, the entire time after heâd been born, he had been around snakes. But this time was different. He was on his own, not with any other snakes. So after the sudden appearance of another snake, it was very normal for Yin Xiaoxiao to feel a little scared.
After reflecting on this, Yin Xiaoxiao wondered about whom he had just happened upon.
This wasnât to say that Yin Xiaoxiao knew all the snakes in the mountain. Last time, after heâd followed Yin Dabai to get bird eggs, what was it that Yin Dabai had said during their return trip? That very few adult snakes were in this part of the mountain range, and that, although they had neighbors, the two snake nests were still very far from each other? Yin Xiaoxiao didnât think that heâd slithered very far from his and Lan Yiyiâs home.
In fact, Yin Xiaoxiao was wrong. Yin Dabaiâs familyâs home, Lan Yiyiâs familyâs home and the home of this other snake formed a triangle. Yin Dabaiâs familyâs home and Lan Yiyiâs familyâs home were the furthest from each other in a straight line. But, naturally, Yin Xiaoxiao didnât know this at the moment. Right now, Yin Xiaoxiao still believed that the snake heâd run into was someone he knew.
Young snakes were impossible. Yin Xiaoxiao was very confident in saying that, as a member of the viper clans, the type of sound heâd heard was not only like something produced by an adult snake, but was like that of two snakes!
Since Lan Yiyiâs parents were at home⊠then he must have accidentally run into his own parents, Hua Xiaohua and Yin Dabai!
After coming to this realization, Yin Xiaoxiao became annoyed. Hadnât they said that they were going to look for his bird eggs? As far as the eye could see, this was a prairie! How could they find bird eggs for me here, huh?! Even if they said that they were just passing through, who would believe it?! After all, so much time had already passed, how could these two snakes âpassing byâ still be making so much noise in the same spot?!
Yin Xiaoxiao recalled how, early this morning, heâd realized that Yin Dabai and Hua Xiaohua had gone out to have sex outdoors. His face darkened.
Entirely angry and agitated, Yin Xiaoxiao followed the sounds. Then, he threw himself forwards onto the source.
Having broken through layer after layer of obstacles (grass obstaclesâŠ), Yin Xiaoxiao finally arrived at his destination. After craning his neck forwards, Yin Xiaoxiao indeed emerged into the shadow cast by two snakes. But, although Yin Xiaoxiao had originally been prepared to shout âWhereâs my bird eggs?!â he stifled that yell.
In front of Yin Xiaoxiao was a green snake and a black snake with red and yellow stripes.
Yin Xiaoxiao came to the profound realization that he had made a mistake. Yin Xiaoxiao came to the profound realization that he had disturbed other peopleâŠ
***
Having been pushed down under Hei <sup>3</sup> Aban <sup>4</sup> , Lu <sup>5</sup> Xiaohuang was preoccupied lapping at him, consumed with lust. His entire body felt floaty <sup>6</sup> as he looked at Hei Aban who was about to enter him. It was at this most climatic moment that a silver head suddenly popped out above his own. Startled, Lu Xiaohuang unconsciously pulled away from Hei Aban.
Hei Aban was about to nail <sup>7</sup> Lu Xiaohuang with hot-blooded zeal, only to pause as a young snake appeared in his line of sight. Hei Aban understood when Lu Xiaohuang pulled away.
Lu Xiaohuang felt awkward. Hei Aban felt awkward. Yin Xiaoxiao felt awkward.
Yin Xiaoxiao had originally been red with anger. Now he was red with shame and embarrassment. It seemed as though he had disturbed some other snakes with his arrival, yes/yes <sup>8</sup> âŠ
âYou are?â Lu Xiaohuang, standing calmly and collectedly, curiously asked Yin Xiaoxiao. Hei Aban, whose field of vision include this new snake, conveniently was in Yin Xiaoxiaoâs blindspot.
First, Yin Xiaoxiao took a moment to stand in awe of Lu Xiaohuangâs composure. Then he said, âI am Yin Xiaoxiao! Yin Dabai and Hua Xiaohuaâs youngest <sup>9</sup> son!â Yin Xiaoxiao had a feeling that these two snakes knew his parents. Afterall, these two snakes appeared in a place that could be considered to be not too far from his familyâs home and Lan Yiyiâs home.
Lu Xiaohuang turned his head and shot Hei Aban a look. So it seemed as though this young snake was Yin Dabai and Hua Xiaohuaâs most recently born child, then.
Hei Abanâs mood fell a little. Until now, he and Lu Xiaohuang had still not had a child. Still, not having a child would be fine if only to avoid having a child who would end up a Mo snake like himself.
