About to burst into tears, Bai Qingqing caressed her tummy and said to herself, “Don’t be scared. Baby’s here accompanying you.”
To bolden herself up, she waved a hand to the front, where she sensed a person was standing…
And she felt something!!!
“Ah!”
Bai Qingqing was so freaked out that she hurriedly retracted her hand. Then, it occurred to her. “Curtis, that’s you, isn’t it?”
Reaching out once more, she found herself grasping at air.
Not daring to imagine any other possibility, she insisted it was him.
“Curtis! I felt you just now. Come out right now!”
Putting on a fierce look, Bai Qingqing shouted in a booming voice, “How dare you scare me! I won’t let you eat rice today1!”
Curtis’s lips arched. He thought in his heart: I don’t eat rice, to begin with. Moreover, Snow also doesn’t have any rice to eat now.
He didn’t make any sound, and Bai Qingqing couldn’t feel him with her hands anymore, so she started a random conversation. “I remember your hole by the lake. I fell in then, and it was very dark in there as well. But I could still see something.
“I wouldn’t have imagined that me taking away your snakeskin would lead to us getting together.” Bai Qingqing stroked her tummy, feeling the atmosphere turning heartwarming. She said with a smile, “It’s getting late, let’s go home.”
Bai Qingqing’s attitude was perfectly natural. As she spoke, she even turned around, as though she was waiting for Curtis to move the rock away from the entrance.
There was even a moment where Curtis suspected if Bai Qingqing really confirmed he was there.
But he caught the slight tremble in her voice.
So, she had learned to trick others.
Curtis, who had never seen a horror movie before, didn’t have any idea of the repercussions. He merely felt strange. Why is Snow so afraid? She keeps looking around, as though there are ferocious beasts in the hole.
So females are afraid of the dark? How strange.
Just as Curtis was pondering this question, Bai Qingqing broke down and shivered in fear as she hugged herself.
Wasn’t that Curtis she felt earlier? Even transmigration could happen, and even wild animals could turn into humans. A ghost story could take place.
All this while, Curtis enjoyed watching the female’s amusing reaction in the darkness. Since she thought there was a wild animal in the dark, then he would make it more real for her.
Curtis stealthily came to her left side and blew air at her, mimicking the breathing of a wild animal.
Bai Qingqing rubbed her shoulders, feeling an eerie and sinister vibe. No, no, no, this must be her mind playing tricks on her. It couldn’t be a ghost. She must have touched the wall just now or something.
Curtis then went to Bai Qingqing’s right and blew air at her, mimicking the breathing of a wild animal. Again.
Bai Qingqing swallowed her saliva and hugged herself even more tightly now.
Curtis elevated his body and let his hair hang over the top of her head, then gently swayed it.
Bai Qingqing raised a hand and found herself grabbing icy strands of hair in her hands. “Ah! Ghost!”
Thinking the ghost was above her head, Bai Qingqing immediately crouched to the ground.
Ssss~ Curtis finally couldn’t hold himself back anymore, making the obvious sound of a snake flicking out its tongue.
Bai Qingqing cast a dubious glance above, then lowered her head right away out of fear.
Was that Curtis’s voice? Those chilly strands of something did feel like Curtis’s hair.
“Damn!” Bai Qingqing got to her feet. “Curtis, you’re pranking on me!”
She reached out and grabbed a handful of hair strands. Who cares if he’s a ghost or a snake? I’ll just yank it off first!
Tugging at the hair with both hands, the more she tugged, the more certain she was it was Curtis.
A series of chuckles rang from above. Curtis descended and held her in his embrace. “So timid?”
Bai Qingqing: F*ck. You nearly made me suffer a miscarriage from the scare, okay? You can’t prank a pregnant woman like that!
“Get lost! I’ll never accompany you while you shed skin again! I never thought you would be such a snake!”
