Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 57p2

Chapter 57p2: Fickle Love

As they were chatting and bickering, the coffee had already been served. Besides the two cups of coffee they had ordered, the shop was having a promotion and had also given them a small piece of cake.

Yu Chujin held the coffee with both hands. The warm coffee cup brought some warmth back to her stiff hands.

She gently sipped the coffee. The sweetness of the caramel and the bitterness of the coffee lingered on her tongue.

Yu Chujin nodded. Not bad.

Qingli was now a copycat snake, copying her way of holding the coffee with both hands and then gently sipping it.

The next second, her small face wrinkled.

It seemed the taste was not to her liking. Her face was full of dislike.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t drink it,” Yu Chujin said.

Qingli didn’t like the cup of coffee in her hand, but it didn’t stop her from eyeing the cup in Yu Chujin’s hand.

“They’re more or less the same. Your cup is your favorite sour flavor, and you don’t even like it. You’ll like mine even less,” Yu Chujin explained to her.

However, the explanation was useless. She just stared at it with longing eyes. It was as if she had to have a taste before she would give up.

Left with no choice, Yu Chujin pushed her coffee cup over, “Fine, you can have a taste.”

Qingli was instantly happy. She immediately took the cup and impatiently took a sip.

Her small face wrinkled again.

Obviously, this cup was even more unpalatable than the one just now, because she even stuck out her tongue, and a uncomfortable “hiss” came from her throat.

The people at the next table cast a strange look at her.

Yu Chujin coughed lightly to remind her, “Put your tongue back in. This is outside. What does it look like?”

Qingli aggrievedly pulled her tongue back, but the bitter taste still lingered on the tip of her tongue. She frowned in discomfort.

Yu Chujin sighed, called the waiter, and asked for a glass of water.

“Drink some water to rinse your mouth. It should make you feel better.”

Qingli impatiently took the water and drank the whole glass in one gulp.

The bitter taste in her mouth was washed away by the water, and only then did Qingli’s wrinkled face relax.

“So many delicious things, but none of them suit your taste. You just stare at raw meat. You’re a snake with no taste for good food,” Yu Chujin continued to sip her coffee and eat the cake that came with it.

Qingli was no longer interested in coffee and began to be interested in the cake…

The result was naturally that she had to ask for another glass of water to rinse her mouth. She hadn’t eaten much, but she had drunk her fill of water.

She was no longer interested in coffee and cake. Qingli lay on the table and began to be interested in another thing.

Qingli’s hand was on the table. She slowly moved it over and subtly touched Yu Chujin’s hand on the table.

Seeing that Yu Chujin did not resist, she went from touching her hand to stroking her hand, and then to covering her hand with her own.

“Smack.”

Yu Chujin slapped her hand away.

Her hand shot back with a whoosh.

Before long, she quietly reached out her hand again, trying to touch Yu Chujin’s hand on the table again.

Yu Chujin simply moved her hand away.

Qingli blinked aggrievedly.

“Stop pretending to be pitiful. I’m not falling for it.”

“You’re a bad snake.”

Yu Chujin smiled, “I’ve discovered that you, a snake, are completely uninterested in your surroundings. This should be your first time in a coffee shop, right? Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to look around?”

Why was her attention on her the whole time?

She was interested in coffee and cake because she was eating cake and coffee. Everything revolved around her.

It was like this on the deserted island, at home, and now that she was out.

She had just said that she was not curious about anything, but the next second, her attention was attracted.

She stared intently out of the window.

A couple passed by the window. The girl was holding a bouquet of roses.

Qingli’s eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the bouquet of flowers.

There was no need to doubt. Her eyes at this moment were filled with: I like it. I want to snatch it and give it to her.

She had even started to take action. She stood up with a whoosh.

Yu Chujin quickly grabbed her hand.

Qingli explained, “You wait. I have something to do. I’ll give you something good.”

After saying that, she tried to break free and go outside.

Yu Chujin held on and wouldn’t let go.

“You be good. Let go first,” it was very simple for Qingli to break free, but she didn’t want to hurt her. She just coaxed her with words, “I’ll go pick some beautiful flowers for you. You be good. Let go.”

She wanted to pull her hand back, but Yu Chujin was holding on very tightly.

“Those are someone else’s flowers. You’re not allowed to go,” Yu Chujin said.

“No, they’re mine,” Qingli said with a serious expression.

“How did they become yours? Do they belong to you just because you saw them?”

“Yes, if I see them, they’re mine.”

Yu Chujin pressed her shoulders and made her sit down, “I’ve discovered that you, a snake, are just like a robber.”

Qingli’s eyes were fixed on the window. The girl holding a bouquet of roses slowly walked away.

Qingli was visibly anxious.

But it was useless to be anxious. Yu Chujin would not let her go.

Qingli had picked the neighbor sister’s flowers before, and Yu Chujin had seriously educated her. But, Qingli did not understand. Every time she saw the neighbor’s flowers, she still showed a look of desire.

If it weren’t for Yu Chujin watching her closely, the neighbor’s flowers would have probably been destroyed by her.

In Qingli’s concept, there was no such thing as a robber. She had lived on a deserted island, and she had to hunt for everything she wanted.

The strong naturally enjoyed all the food and resources. This was the concept of animals, and also Qingli’s inherent concept.

So she didn’t understand why she couldn’t snatch or pick beautiful flowers when she saw them.

Although she didn’t understand, and although the girl holding the roses was walking farther and farther away, Qingli was very anxious, but she still chose to obey Yu Chujin’s words.

Looking at the snake, which was dejected because it hadn’t been able to snatch the flowers.

Yu Chujin sighed, a little unable to win against her. She said, “I’ll take you to a flower shop. You’ll definitely be very happy there.”

Qingli was dazed, “A flower shop?”

“A flower shop is a place with a lot of beautiful flowers,” Yu Chujin explained.

“Let’s go, let’s go now,” Qingli perked up.

Yu Chujin shook her head and smiled, “Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll check where there’s a flower shop nearby first.”

Although she had lived here for a long time, Yu Chujin had never really paid attention to flower shops. Mainly because she was not interested in flowers and plants.

Yu Chujin searched for a nearby flower shop on her phone. There was one on the next street, only a two-minute walk away.

After paying the bill, Yu Chujin took Qingli to the next street.

Perhaps because the flower shop was nearby, from time to time, someone would pass by with a bouquet of flowers.

Every time a person with a bouquet of flowers passed by, Qingli’s eyes would be glued to them, and she would even follow them.

Yu Chujin grabbed the back of her collar to stop her from following.

If she didn’t stop her, there might be a flower thief in the news tomorrow.

It seemed that it was also a rather urgent matter to popularize the basic legal knowledge to her.

They were still a dozen meters away from the flower shop, but Qingli’s sharp eyes had already spotted it, because the entrance was filled with flowers, which was particularly eye-catching.

She was about to run over, but after running two steps, she was pulled back by Yu Chujin and had to brake urgently.

“Don’t be in a hurry.”

“I am in a hurry.”

Yu Chujin was amused. In order to match her anxious rhythm, she had to quicken her pace and take her to the flower shop.

Before even entering the door, the entrance was already filled with all kinds of flowers, a dazzling array.

Qingli’s eyes lit up again and again.

She immediately reached out to pick one. Before she could touch the flower, Yu Chujin’s hand slapped her, stopping her from picking the flower.

Qingli covered her slapped hand and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“You haven’t paid yet. You can’t just pick them,” Yu Chujin patiently explained to her, “You’ve watched so many TV shows. You probably have a concept of money, right?”

“In human society, you have to pay for everything you buy. Just like the coffee we just drank, it was because I paid that they gave us the coffee. Understand?”

“I understand,” Qingli nodded.

Yu Chujin patted her on the head, “It’s good that you understand. In human society, you have to abide by human rules. You can’t play the ‘weak are the prey of the strong’ game.”

Qingli looked at the flowers with desire, but she obediently did not pick them.

Yu Chujin was very gratified. This snake was still very smart, not purely stupid. She understood after just a few words.

“Which flower do you like the most?” Yu Chujin asked.

“This one,” Qingli pointed at one of them without hesitation.

Qingli liked bright-colored flowers. The brighter the color, the more she liked it. The flower she had chosen was a red rose, and it was indeed the most brilliant flower in the flower shop.

“Besides this one, what else do you like?”

“This one.”

Besides liking the brightest colors, Qingli also liked particularly large flowers. The one she had chosen was a hydrangea, because it was big enough.

“Besides these two, is there anything else you like? You can buy whatever you like.”

“I can buy anything? Oh, I know this. A domineering president! So generous!”

Yu Chujin’s eyes twitched twice, “You know quite a lot.”

Qingli proudly lifted her chin, “I’m very smart.”

“A smart big fool.”

“You’re scolding me.”

“I’m not scolding a person. I’m scolding a snake.”

“I’m a person!”

Following Qingli’s request, Yu Chujin picked some red roses and hydrangeas and went to the counter to pay.

Yu Chujin turned her head to look at the snake beside her and asked, “Are you sure you only want these two kinds of flowers? Don’t you want to choose some other flowers? If you want anything else, say it in advance. I won’t buy them for you after I’ve paid.”

Qingli’s gaze swept around, as if she were seriously choosing. Her gaze finally landed on the flower shop clerk who was checking out.

She pointed at the clerk, “Buy her. I like her.”

The clerk was dazed.

Yu Chujin hurriedly pulled her hand that was pointing at the person down and smiled apologetically at the clerk, “Don’t mind her. My friend is not very smart.”

Qingli was not happy, “My brain is good.”

Yu Chujin gritted her teeth, “Shut up!”

Qingli obediently shut up, but her gaze was on the clerk, not moving away for a long time.

It seemed that compared to red roses and hydrangeas, she liked this clerk more.

After paying the bill, Yu Chujin left the flower shop with the hydrangeas and red roses. The snake behind her still looked back at the clerk every three steps.

Seeing her reluctant look, Yu Chujin became annoyed.

She put her hands on her hips and looked at this snake with an unfriendly expression, “You like her, huh? If you like her, you can go and find her. I won’t stop you.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

After walking two steps, she didn’t hear the footsteps following behind her. Her brow furrowed, and she looked back.

As soon as she turned back, she saw Qingli returning to the flower shop.

Yu Chujin’s lips tightened. She stood there, her heart sinking.

It was just a clerk she had met by chance. This snake had fallen in love with her at first sight?

Thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem strange. When she had fallen onto the deserted island, hadn’t the snake also fallen in love with her at first sight, following her clingily, without any reason?

Now, it was just that she had changed to another person to like.
