Chapter 83 Worries

  However, she didn't understand what I was thinking and continued to say: "My parents divorced when we were very young, neither of them wanted my brother and me, but I never blamed them. I know they were still young at that time. If they had two small children following behind, it would be a burden. It's just pitiful for my brother to raise me from childhood!"

  What she said I had also heard from them before, I really didn't expect her parents to be so ruthless, after the divorce, in order to remarry for their own good, they abandoned their two biological children. As the saying goes, "even tigers do not eat their own cubs", I didn't think her parents would be so heartless.

  Perhaps it's true as she said, for someone like her, it might be better to become like me. At least after I turned into a snake, my parents never forgot about me, only that I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties. Thinking of this, I also lightly shook my head.

  The woman was meticulous and noticed my expression. She asked: "Hey, why are you shaking your head? Are you also having an unpleasant time?"

  She asked me like that. I subconsciously nodded to her, seemingly interested, and she asked again: "Really, you're so spiritual, you must have gone through a lot of things, can you tell me about your past?"

  I gently lifted my head to look at her, and found that her gaze was filled with a hint of doubt. As if she couldn't believe that a snake could also have worries, I don't know why, but being asked by her like this, all my worries surged up, and I wanted to find someone to pour out my heart to.

  During this time, I always felt a sense of oppression in my heart. After hesitating for a while, I finally made a bold decision and climbed onto the bed. I found Yuwen Hang's notebook and pen, then used my tail to roll it up. On it, I wrote: "Fellow drifters at the ends of the earth!"

  Yuwen Xiang was shocked, covering her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, staring at me with an incredulous expression. She had not expected that I could not only understand human language but also write, which overturned her understanding.

  After a long while, she trembled and said: "Heavens, you can write?"

  I nodded at her and then wrote: I will!

  After the surprise, she slowly accepted this fact and then became full of curiosity. She walked slowly to my side and said: "You're not an ordinary snake, I think you're more like a human being. Previously, I noticed your eyes and found that you are different from other animals, as if you have emotions. Tell me, are you a human?"

  She asked this question, which actually hit the nail on the head. I have to admit that her thoughts are very meticulous, but should I tell her or not? In the end, for some reason, I always want to tell her these things. Maybe it's because I've been suppressing them in my heart for too long. And now, with her current situation, I feel like we're somewhat similar - both of us are people who have suffered a lot.

  Finally, I took a deep breath and wrote down everything on paper, telling her all about it. I trusted that she would never betray me.

  After reading what I wrote, Yuwen Xiang was silent for a long time, as if digesting the incredibility of it all. She felt like she was dreaming, with a snake's body actually containing a person's soul. She couldn't believe any of this, but there I was, alive and well in front of her, personally writing it down to tell her.

  She had to accept this fact, let out a long sigh, and finally sat down on the bed, but instead of comforting me, she said: "Ji Cheng, I didn't think your life was even more miserable than mine. But since it's already happened, and the person who hurt you has been punished, don't think about these unhappy things anymore. Just be a good snake, maybe you'll be happier that way."

  I sighed inwardly and shook my head, writing: "Although I have to accept this fact, I really want to become human and take care of my parents. I'm afraid that when they get old, no one will be there to take care of them. But now I've turned into this... I don't know what to do in the future. I'm really not resigned to it, you know?"

  As Yuwen Xiang saw what I wrote, her eyes flickered and seemed to well up with tears. I knew she was sympathizing with me because now I'm much more miserable than her - no matter how you look at it, she's still a person and has an older brother who cares about her, while I've been killed by someone and turned into an animal.

  Maybe animals don't have anything, but I still maintain human thoughts. This kind of suffering is not something ordinary people can empathize with. It's like being a normal person, yet living an animal's life. What others can get, I cannot.

  Perhaps sensing the distress in my heart, she gently stroked me and said: "Ji Cheng, things have already happened. Even ants work hard every day for their own lives, let alone you, a snake with a human soul. I believe that heaven has given you another chance to live, so who knows, maybe one day there will be another miracle that turns you back into a person. I believe that day will come!"

  I know she was trying to comfort me, but as she said, what's done is done and there's no use being sad about it. As for turning back into a human, I do hope so in my heart, but that's just another way of comforting myself.

  I let out a soft sigh and told her to keep this secret for me, if those with ulterior motives were to find out, I would be in real trouble.

  She nodded heavily and said that she wouldn't even tell her brother, this was a secret between us, I nodded in relief.

  At this time, Yuwen Hang also came back. He saw me lying on his bed with a pen and paper beside me. Just as he was about to come over to see what was going on, Yuwen Qing grabbed the notebook, hastily tore off the words I had written, crumpled them into a ball, and put them in her pocket.

  Yuwen Hang was taken aback and said: "What's wrong with you, little girl? Why are you being so mysterious?"

  Yuwen Xiang smiled and said, "Nothing, just feeling bored and writing randomly for fun. Don't mind it, what delicious food did you bring back? Let's eat quickly, I'm starving."

  Yuwen Hang waved his hand with several large lunchboxes and said, "Today's are all delicious, these two packages belong to Snake Brother, let's open them for Snake Brother first!"

  Yuwen Xiang took the horse over, opened the lunchbox and put it on Yuwen Hang's bed, saying: "Ji Cheng, you must not have eaten well for the past two days outside, hurry up and eat!"

  I looked at her with gratitude, I knew she now treated me as a human being and no longer threw the lunchbox on the ground like before.

  Yuwen Xiang also thought so, and she said to Yuwen Hang: "Brother, don't put Ji Cheng's rice on the ground in the future. It's not good. If you dirty your bed, I'll wash it for you!"

  Yuwen Hang smiled and said, "Hehe, no problem with that, you're right too, Snake Brother is different from other snakes. But why are you still being polite to me? If I get dirty, I'll just wash myself, it's nothing!" The earthworms dispersed in a hurry.

  I'm deeply grateful for the kindness of my siblings, after I turned into a snake, apart from my parents not abandoning me, they are the best people to me, this feeling, I have already kept in mind.

  At night, Yuwen Xiang saw that I was about to sleep on the floor again, she suddenly pulled Yuwen Hang and said: "Brother, how can you let Ji Cheng sleep on the floor? Why don't we rent another room for him?"

  Yuwen Hang didn't understand her meaning, can a snake even rent a room by itself? However, he still said: "I was also planning to let Snake Brother sleep on my bed, but it insisted on running to the ground to sleep. Even if we rent another room, it will still run to the ground to sleep, it seems like there's no point!"

  Yuwen Xiang heard this and still said: "How can that be, it can't sleep on the ground, anyway I don't care!"

  I know she used to think I was just a snake, so she didn't mind, but now she really treats me like a human being, so if she sees me still sleeping on the ground, she always feels uneasy in her heart, as if she thinks she's abusing me.

  Yuwen Hang had no idea what she was thinking, and thought she was just joking around, so he said: "Alright, go to sleep quickly. If Snake Brother really likes sleeping on the bed, it will come up by itself. If that's the case, we can rent another room for it, or even let me sleep on the floor!"

  Yuwen Xiang glared at her brother and said, "Forget about renting!"

  After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes and said to me: "Ji Cheng, go to my room to sleep. When I'm bored, I can still find you to chat with, want to?"
