Chapter 75: Dried-Up Woman, Buck Up!

Yuanyue Academy, first-year section, a bathroom stall near the window.

An Le was opening a webpage, searching for information about small snake species.

Last night, a tiny and weird white snake suddenly appeared on her windowsill.

She had some knowledge about snakes, as they were her first consideration when she started to keep reptile pets.

But because her parents were really afraid of snakes, she ended up keeping geckos, which they could somewhat accept.

As for spiders, insects, and the like, don’t even think about it.

And what about the snake last night?

It was so small but looked very similar to a cobra, making An Le wonder if it was venomous.

She fed the snake a bit, then locked it up, ensuring it absolutely couldn’t escape.

After coming to school, she started searching online again, trying to figure out what species the snake was and if it could be kept as a pet.

Lin Gate, this massive maritime city, hardly had any native wildlife, so its appearance in a residential area meant that it was very likely someone else’s pet that had escaped.

Seeing the serious injury it had, its previous owner probably didn’t treat it well.

An Le intended to keep it, but after searching all morning, she couldn’t find any matching information.

Patterns, size, shape...

None of them matched any known species.

And, is there really such a thing as a milky-white, small-sized cobra?

"Hey, Shuwen, I heard the President rejected all the gifts again this morning..."

"Yeah, if the President doesn’t sleep, there’s just no chance."

Just as An Le inside the stall put down her phone and was about to head back to the classroom, she heard the voices of some classmates talking outside.

She hurriedly kept silent, sitting still without daring to move.

Park Shuwen seemed to have opened the adjoining stall, and then her voice continued,

"Silly, the key isn’t whether the President is sleeping or not... it’s about the Student Union Accountant."

"Ah, the homebody you mentioned before?"

"Yeah, he’s on good terms with the President and easy to talk to. If you ask him sincerely in private, he’ll definitely pass it on to the President."

An Le eavesdropped on their conversation and couldn’t help but purse her lips, remaining silent.

"Really? Will it work?"

"Of course, but you can’t have too many people doing it, an occasional one or two is fine, but if there are too many, he’ll refuse anyway."

After waiting a while, the door of the stall opened, and Park Shuwen seemed to walk out again,

"So, we just have to ask him once a week. You have to act cuter and sweeter..."

While saying this, Park Shuwen, washing her hands, spoke in a sweet and sticky voice,

"Wuu, Yahashi, you’re really too nice, I don’t know how to thank you~"

"Ah, stop it, it’s annoying, haha..."

"Shh, these are all the strategies I’ve figured out on my own, don’t tell anyone else."

"It’s mainly because he’s the only person in the student council who can help... Yuanlina the secretary might help, but she’s probably read the letter countless times before it even gets sent..."

"Then there’s Ashley, looking grumpy all day, so difficult to deal with."

"As for Sakuragi... hehe..."

"Hahaha~"

Their conversation, along with the "ding ding" of the school bell, faded away, while An Le sat in the stall, seemingly still digesting their conversation.

If I send a message to Yahashi the accountant, will Xiao Huan accept it?

But, I have a feeling...

And if Park Shuwen and the others find out I eavesdropped and do the same...

An Le bit her lip, gently covering her chest, feeling stifled there.

She gasped for air and unbuttoned one of her collar buttons because her clothes were too tight around the chest.

But after doing this, she still felt an oppressive feeling there.

She then realized that the stifling feeling wasn’t from her chest, but from her heart hidden beneath.

"Gurulu~"

As An Le hesitated, a snake-shaped tattoo, illusory and emerging from who knows where, slithered out from under her clothes on her skin.

An Le held her face, but from the corner of her eye, she saw something moving on her arm.

"!!"

She was so frightened that she quickly stood up and looked at her arm.

Snake... s-s-snake!!

How could it be on my arm?!

As her eyes began to mist and she was confounded, that snake-shaped tattoo fell off her fingertip and gradually turned into a real, white little snake in reality.

"Gurulu..."

That little snake, identical to the one she had rescued last night.

"An Le, hello."

The little snake raised its body, sizing up the girl in front of it, and suddenly spoke in her mind with a female voice.

"It’s... speaking!!"

An Le covered her mouth, beginning to doubt if the hallucinations were a result of dealing with too many cards.

The little snake rolled its eyes humanly and then looked at her and scolded,

"Waste of space!"

"Hey... why... why suddenly insult me?"

"You don’t even argue when being called a waste of space, are you even human?"

"But... I don’t know why you’re scolding me... maybe because I locked you up last night..."

The little snake ended up laughing out of exasperation and didn’t know what else to scold her with.

After a moment of silence, it looked at An Le sideways, muttering helplessly,

"I am truly done for... there’s no other way, if I delay further others [fingers] are going to start eating chicken..."

"Eat... eating chicken?"

An Le’s face flushed, only hearing the phrase "eating chicken" and not sure why it suddenly came to mind.

"Listen up, An Le, I like to speak the truth, so I’ll just get straight to the point."
