“He will.” The little snake spoke with a solid expression, sounding firm. “He’ll definitely kill me!”
As the little snake said this, he took off the clothing and draped it onto her.
Bai Qingqing also felt unsure, feeling that it was a very risky action to let the little snake return home.
Therefore, she didn’t try to persuade him further. She only said, feeling a little pity, “We have a bed-stove at home now and the bedroom is very warm. If you were to come, you won’t need to hibernate anymore.”
The little snake was speechless.
Bai Qingqing planted a kiss on the little snake’s forehead. The smooth and icy touch surprised her. Children really had good skin.
The little snake stiffened, and his fair face instantly flushed up. Bai Qingqing burst out laughing when she saw this.
He was so shy. But it was also because she had become distant from him. If they were to spend time together often, the little snake would definitely wag his tail happily as the leopard cubs did.
“We’ll be leaving, then,” Bai Qingqing said, unwilling to part with him.
The little snake jolted abruptly and said anxiously, “Hold on, I have something to give you.”
After saying this, he turned to run toward the hole and jumped in.
Bai Qingqing took a look out of curiosity. The little snake climbed back up, carrying a stack of glistening snakeskin.
“Take it to make clothing.” The little snake held up the snakeskin in front of her, his red eyes emitting nervousness and anticipation.
Bai Qingqing immediately took one step back. “This can’t do. You mustn’t give this to others easily, do you know that?”
The little snake immediately wore a sad expression, looking aggrievedly at her. He said, “Daddy’s snakeskin were all given to you.”
“It’s because your father is my mate,” Bai Qingqing explained helplessly.
“You’re still young. No matter who it is, don’t give it away, do you understand? It’s best that you bury it, then dig it back after you mature.”
After saying that, Bai Qingqing took a look at the little snake’s snakeskin. Her heart ached.
Curtis said that in the year he matured, his snakeskin was the softest. She wondered if this little snake’s snakeskin was shed at the point of maturity.
If it was, then he was too pitiful.
It was because this snakeskin… was too small.
Judging from the width, it was impossible to make a tube dress with it. It could only be joined together with another piece.
Bai Qingqing wiped off her tears for her son in her heart. If this was going to be the little snake’s best snakeskin, then it’d definitely be a great loss for his future mate in the future!
“I got it.”
The little snake drew back his hand and lowered his head, not letting others see his expression.
Bai Qingqing took off the coat draped on her again, covering the little snake’s bare body.
“Keep this piece of clothing. Cover yourself up when you sleep. Mommy will bring you an animal skin skirt next time.”
The little snake’s head jolted up, his eyes glistening. “Alright! I won’t hibernate anymore. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Bai Qingqing flicked his forehead. “Go hibernate! I won’t be coming out again anytime soon. An’an can’t stay away from me for too long.”
“Oh.” The little snake lowered his head disappointedly.
“Let’s go back.”
Parker suddenly carried her up horizontally, throwing a cold sideward glance at the little snake, who instantly revealed a fierce expression.
“Let’s go!”
Parker carried Bai Qingqing and left, having the leopard cubs tagging behind them.
The little snake followed them to the cave, no longer wearing a gentle expression. His expression was now as cold as snow.
His eyes were fixed on the departing group. His hand grabbed onto the rock wall, exerting so much force that his joints turned pale. His fingers even sank into the wall.
Only when the figures left his vision did the little snake put down his hand and then turned to walk into the cave.
A small handprint was left on the wall. A snowflake drifted down and landed on it.
