But at this time, Huo Wu vaguely spotted a water snake making its way towards her in the swimming pool.
There was a water snake in the open-air swimming pool at home?! How could this be possible?
Huo Wu naturally didn’t want to believe it, but her eyes clearly told her that there was indeed a large water snake in the indoor swimming pool.
After seeing the water snake, Huo Wu couldn’t help but scream loudly.
She was not afraid of cockroaches or mice, but she was afraid of snakes.
And it’s not a small fear either.
Just seeing a snake-like animal would give her goosebumps all over her body. What’s more, the water snake was only a meter or two away from her at this moment.
Huo Wu wanted to stay away from this water snake, but her whole body seemed to have lost strength, and she was unable to get out of the pool at this time.
She slapped the surface of the water, trying to drive the water snake away, but the water snake did not swim far.
At this time, the sound of someone diving into the water could be heard.
The sound was not soft, but Huo Wu, who was now in a panic, was too distracted to notice it.
Huo Wu looked at the water snake and kicked her legs desperately, but she didn’t manage to get very far. Instead, her futile movements got her even closer to the snake. Her loud screams could be heard all the way across the pool.
While still screaming, she was suddenly embraced in a safe and reliable hug.
There was a low voice in her ear that asked quickly, “What’s the matter? Is it a leg cramp?”
Huo Wu didn’t know when Huo Yusen had come, but at this moment, when she saw Huo Yusen, she felt like someone who was about to drown but was now saved and grabbed onto him like he was a piece of driftwood coming to her rescue. She turned back and hugged Huo Yusen tightly. She said with a trembling voice, “Big brother, there is a snake in the pool! Snake!”
After Huo Yusen heard Huo Wu’s screams just now, it only took a few seconds to swim to her side. He put his arm around her and steadied himself by sweeping the water with the other. “Don’t be afraid. I am here.”
Huo Wu buried her entire head in Huo Yusen’s shoulder, and she was still saying intermittently, “Big brother, don’t let me go. I’m afraid.”
Huo Wu hugged Huo Yusen too tightly, and Huo Yusen breathed a little bit breathlessly. At this moment, his low voice was sexily hoarse. “Be good, I won’t let go.”
After observing the water snake for a while, Huo Yusen finally found something wrong.
That snake was indeed a snake at first glance.
Its patterns and shapes were very realistic – just like a real one.
But after watching it for a long time, Huo Yusen thought there was something off about the snake.
Because this snake didn’t move.
In other words, it was moving with the motion of the water, rather than swimming autonomously.
Huo Yusen suddenly thought of the eight-year-old nephew who had come to swim in the swimming pool at home two days ago, and an idea came to his mind.
He slid forward and caught the culprit who frightened the pale-faced Huo Wu.
As soon as he caught the water snake, Huo Yusen knew that he had not guessed wrong.
This was not a real snake but a fake one.
Huo Shenshen! It must be that brat who deliberately put this life-like water snake in the indoor swimming pool.
This was an extremely boring prank.
Huo Yusen grabbed the fake snake and threw it outside the pool with a single flick.
Then he hesitated for a bit, opening and closing his right hand repeatedly. After repeating this for several times, he inserted his fingers deep into Huo Wu’s wet hair.
His voice was hoarse and a little awkward. “It’s okay. It’s just a fake snake that Huo Shenshen used to play a prank with.”
Huo Wu became angry when she heard that it was just a fake snake.
She looked up and stared at Huo Yusen with those big, wet eyes of hers that were nearly tearful from fear, and said in dissatisfaction, “Big brother! Huo Shenshen is not allowed to come to our house anymore! Pranks like this shouldn’t be allowed. I was really scared to death just now!”
Huo Wu had only met Huo Shenshen once during the Chinese New Year, so she knew that Huo Shenshen was a brat who was not afraid of anything. Because he was still young, his family pampered him but such pampering made him even more lawless.
She didn’t hate such naughty little boys before, but now, she would think twice before welcoming those types of little boys to play in her own home. Because once a prank was excessive, it was not a prank, but became a reason for people to detest them.
After Huo Wu didn’t get a response for a while, she couldn’t help but look up at Huo Yusen, and said pitifully, “Big brother, is that okay?”
There were crystal drops of water on her face, and her black hair had been completely soaked. At this time, she swept her hair all to the back of her head, so her entire face was clearly exposed.
Her eyes were already lovely, but her makeup made them even sexier and more charming.
The makeup on the face was altogether strange but not exaggerated.
On the contrary, it seemed just right.
Those few fish scales became the finishing touches of her whole ensemble.
It made her look like a mermaid from the deep sea.
There was a feeling of temptation from her innocent look.
The two completely different characteristics of being delicate and lovely but also charming and alluring that appeared on her did not seem to be contradictory. On the other hand, they enhanced her perfection.
Huo Yusen’s Adam’s apple rolled and he slowly spit out a word, “Okay.”
