Chapter 398: Chapter 396 Danger Approaches Quietly 2 Chapter 398: Chapter 396 Danger Approaches Quietly 2 Su Shu said, “Couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?”

Little Snake King: “Why not… take me out to see?”

A minute later, Su Shu returned from outside the space with Little Snake King, a puzzled look on her face.

A human and a snake stood silently at the courtyard door, watching Xiao’ai play hide and seek with Fox, laughing heartily.

“Where on earth did you dig up this child?” Little Snake King shivered.

“… From the welfare home.”

“You saw it this time, didn’t you?”

“Mmm.”

“Red?”

“Mmm.”

“Su Shu, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say…”

“Go ahead.”

“Only the dead and monsters see the moon as red.”

“…”

Tang Zelin came back a bit late, and when he pushed the door and entered the house he thought both of them were asleep, so he moved quietly.

The room was pitch-dark; he lit the kerosene lamp at the entrance and quietly went to check on Xiao’ai’s room. Seeing that the child was already asleep, he then went back to his own room.

But he was startled by his wife, who was staring blankly against the headboard.

With the oil lamp aside, “Why haven’t you slept yet, waiting for me?”

Su Shu snapped out of her daze, and upon seeing him return, she scooted over a bit, “You’re back.”

“Mmm, what were you thinking about? You didn’t even notice me coming into the room.” Tang Zelin took off his hat, unbuttoned the front of his shirt, and changed his clothes.

Su Shu put her hands behind her back and fidgeted for a while before suddenly saying, “Xiao’ai spoke today.”

“Mmm, good that she spoke.” Tang Zelin, with his hands pulling his undershirt upwards, responded after hearing her.

Uh? Isn’t he surprised? Su Shu couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Little did she know, with the clothing over his head and not yet fully removed, Tang Zelin suddenly gave a heavy “Mmm?”

Su Shu sat up straight, watching as his head emerged from under the clothing, his tight abs and broad chest coming into her view. Tang Zelin looked surprised.

“What did you just say?”

As Su Shu admired the man’s nosebleed-inducing fine physique, upon hearing his words, she shifted her gaze to his face.

“I said Xiao’ai spoke today.”

Tang Zelin stopped changing clothes, stripped off completely, flung back the covers, and slipped into bed, since he wouldn’t need them in a moment anyway.

Leaning against the headboard, he opened his arms to Su Shu, who understood and leaned into him.

Having just come in from outside, Tang Zelin’s body felt slightly cool, but she knew he would soon be warmer than her.

They say women are made of water and men of fire. When it’s cold, Su Shu quite likes nesting in his embrace. It’s both warm and comfortable.

Tang Zelin, holding her, started talking about Xiao’ai, “Can Xiao’ai really talk now?”

“Yes, she suddenly spoke today, gave me a fright. She’s already asleep now; if you don’t believe me, ask her tomorrow and see.” Su Shu spoke with a smile.

Pinching her cheek, Tang Zelin replied with a light smile, “You must be happy now, relieved, right?”

“Yes.” She pressed her head against his chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, “I’m truly glad that Xiao’ai isn’t actually mute.”

‘”Did you ask her why she didn’t want to speak?”

After speaking, he seemed to consider the possibility that a child who hadn’t spoken for so long might have some health issue, and his brow slightly furrowed, “Shall we take Xiao’ai to the hospital again tomorrow?”

Su Shu knew what he was worried about, “No need, I think she’s fine. Tomorrow, when she wakes up and you hear her speak, you’ll know.”

The clarity of her little milk voice, no matter how you listened to it, it was lovely.

Only… about what Xiao’ai said, she wasn’t sure whether to tell Tang Zelin, especially the part about Ji Dong.
