Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 89

Chapter 89: Too Embarrassing

The house was quiet, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, but her heart was very noisy, stirring up a storm.

Surprise, shock, and then dazed.

Yu Chujin once suspected that she was in a dream. Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous situation occur?

Too ridiculous, too absurd.

She pinched her arm. It hurt. It was not a dream. Not only was it not a dream, but the strange feeling was becoming more and more real, so real that it could not be ignored.

Yu Chujin bit her lip tightly, her lower lip bitten white. Her legs were constantly closing, and her toes were unconsciously curling. She tried to use this method to dissipate the strange feeling.

But no matter what she did, it had little effect, no effect at all.

There was only her in the room, and only her on the bed. She could see nothing, and she could touch nothing. There was only a clear touch, which obviously existed.

Yu Chujin wanted to resist and struggle. She propped herself up on the bed, trying to sit up.

A strong wind blew from outside the window, making the window “rustle.” It blew the flowers in the yard, and the petals trembled.

Along with the trembling of the flowers outside the yard, Yu Chujin fell back on the bed, unable to sit up successfully.

Her fingers clutched the bedsheet, and tears welled up in her eyes, about to fall.

The flower petals outside the yard were stained with the night’s dew, dripping, dripping, and dyeing a large patch of soil.

“Qing… Li…” she gasped weakly, calling out her name.

“Qingli is here,” Qingli’s voice came from outside the bedroom door.

Struggling, she got up from the bed. The short distance from the bed to the door was exceptionally difficult and stumbling.

With every step, the feeling became more and more distinct.

Finally, Yu Chujin reached the door and held the doorknob. With the support, her weak legs did not let her kneel down.

“Click.”

She pressed the doorknob, and the door opened.

Qingli, who had been sleeping on her stomach at the door, was now leaning against the doorframe, meeting Yu Chujin head-on.

The snake was calm and composed, her figure straight, her expression calm.

The person was in a wretched state, her figure unsteady, her face flushed.

“What did you do to me?” It was not a question, but a statement.

Yu Chujin could not think of any other reason. The only explanation was the snake in front of her, because this snake could not be judged by common sense.

Maybe she had a long-range magic. After all, before this, she could breathe fire, transform, and see a person’s color, and she had many other incredible abilities.

So, it didn’t seem very strange that Qingli had a long-range magic.

“I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even enter the room,” Qingli blinked and smiled.

When had she ever smiled so gently? Usually, she would have a silly and dazed smile, showing a mouthful of large white teeth. But today, she could actually smile faintly. Something was strange.

“You’re still not admitting it!”

“What am I admitting? What does Yu Chujin want Qingli to admit?”

As she was speaking, Qingli came closer, lowered her head and bent down, face to face. Her breath was on her cheek, with a faint grassy scent, “Yu Chujin, you look very uncomfortable. Where are you uncomfortable?”

Not only could she smile faintly, but her speech was also not strange. Her tone was proper, and her gaze was worried, as if she were really concerned about her.

But was she really concerned about her?

Yu Chujin took a deep breath, stood up straight, and said word by word, “I, am, fine.”

Qingli raised an eyebrow.

She could even raise an eyebrow!

Who did she learn this bad habit from?

“You’re very strange now. Are you possessed by a ghost?” Yu Chujin said, hesitating.

“Am I strange?” Qingli sniffed with her nose twice, hummed in agreement, and drew out her tone, “I’ve smelled it. It belongs to Yu Chujin. A very sweet scent.”

Yu Chujin was so ashamed and annoyed that she bumped her head forward. With a thump, it was the sound of a forehead bumping a forehead.

The next second, with a “aiya,” she held her forehead and retreated in pain.

Of course, the one in pain was not Qingli, and the one holding her forehead was not Qingli, but her, Yu Chujin.

The bump was too heavy. Qingli did not feel any pain, but Yu Chujin herself had bumped her forehead red, and it hurt a lot.

Qingli came forward with concern and checked her forehead, “Are you okay, Yu Chujin?”

Yu Chujin glared, “Your forehead is like an iron lump. I bumped into it. Do you think I’m okay!”

It was Yu Chujin who had taken the initiative to bump her, but it did not stop Yu Chujin from being fierce with her and blaming her.

Qingli did not feel that there was any problem at all and sincerely apologized, “It’s my fault. I’m sorry. Yu Chujin, don’t be angry. I’m a bad snake.”

Yu Chujin pouted and didn’t say anything, turning back to her room.

Just as she turned, a cold sensation came from her wrist. She turned her head and looked down. Her wrist was being held by Qingli.

Qingli’s finger gently tapped the back of her hand, like a tickle, and also like a caress, with an ambiguous hint.

“Yu Chujin, you look like you need Qingli’s help very much,” Qingli winked her left eye.

This creature was winking again, and it was getting more and more skilled, not as comical as before.

To be precise, with a beautiful face and a normal expression, when she winked normally, she was quite charming.

But, Yu Chujin was already immune. She pulled her hand back, her expression cold, “I don’t need your help.”

How was that helping? If she let her help again, she would probably be gone.

She refused with a cold expression, quickly went to the cabinet, took a change of underwear, and rushed to the bathroom.

Just before she entered the bathroom, Yu Chujin turned her head and warned seriously, “You’re not allowed to follow me. Also, although I don’t know how you did it, if you do that again, I’ll get angry with you. Very angry. Do you hear me?”

After a warning, she slammed the bathroom door with a thump.

Yu Chujin leaned against the bathroom door, took a moment to recover, and let out a long sigh of relief.

She had to change her pants quickly. They were sticky and very uncomfortable. After she had cleaned up, she would go and “teach” that snake a lesson.

It must have been her. There was no other possibility.

She changed into a clean pair of pants, went to the sink, turned on the faucet, cupped some water in her hands, and splashed it on her face.

The cold water cleared her mind a little.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Her dark circles were heavy, and she was visibly weak.

Yu Chujin gritted her teeth. How did Qingli have so many strange abilities? Only a person could not think of it, and there was nothing she could not do.

And what was worrying was that Yu Chujin discovered that Qingli, who was usually very easy to control, was completely out of control at certain times. Otherwise, she would not have such heavy dark circles.

It was too much, really too much.

She splashed her face with cold water a few more times, let out a long breath of turbid air, and walked out, preparing to have a good talk with that snake.

However…

Yu Chujin’s brow furrowed, and her fingers, holding on to the sink, curled.

She was at it again!

Yu Chujin looked at her flushed self in the mirror, both angry and annoyed and shy.

“Qingli!” Yu Chujin gritted her teeth and looked at the closed bathroom door.

“I’m here,” the person outside the door responded immediately, not forgetting to add an “oh,” which was simply infuriating.

Yu Chujin’s legs were weak. She slowly walked to the door, “You stop… for me.”

Her tone was heavy with panting. A simple sentence, she almost couldn’t say it completely.

Compared to her difficulty, the person outside the door’s tone was exceptionally light. Even, Yu Chujin could hear a hint of intention in her tone.

She was doing it on purpose.

Qingli was doing it on purpose.

“What stop? Can Yu Chujin be a little clearer? Qingli doesn’t understand,” her voice was clearly from across the bathroom door, yet it was as if it were in her ear.

Every syllable was like a knock on her heart, so itchy that her whole body was itching.

“You, don’t pretend, to be confused. You… stop, stop…”

Yu Chujin held on to the bathroom door and slowly squatted down. Her breathing became heavy and hot. She even had to half-open her lips to get some air.

“What’s wrong with you, Yu Chujin?” Qingli’s concerned voice came.

But she clearly knew what was wrong, and she was the culprit, yet she was still asking knowingly.

Deliberately causing trouble. When did Qingli learn to be so bad?

Tonight’s style was particularly fierce. It blew the flowers in the yard until they were on the verge of falling. Against the wind, the flowers seemed as if they would break at any moment, and also as if this flower was blooming more brilliantly than usual.

Better and worse.

“Creak.”

The bathroom door opened from the inside. Yu Chujin fell forward and fell steadily into a embrace full of the scent of fresh grass.

Qingli’s embrace was a little cold, with her unchanging low temperature, but her embrace was also a little warm, burning her, as if it were going to burn her to ashes inch by inch.

“What’s wrong with you? You look very uncomfortable,” Qingli looked down at the person in her arms, her face full of worry.

“You’re still pretending!” Yu Chujin was a little annoyed and bit her on the shoulder.

Her shoulder would often have Yu Chujin’s bite marks. At certain moments, when she was extremely angry, annoyed, and shy, she would bite her hard.

Without hesitation, she would bite her with all her strength.

The bite marks were either on her left shoulder or her right shoulder. But unfortunately, Qingli’s recovery ability was too strong, and the bite marks would usually disappear in a few minutes, no longer existing.

Yu Chujin wanted to leave some marks on her, to prove something, but she couldn’t prove it, and she couldn’t keep it.

Qingli tilted her head in confusion, “What am I pretending? What is Yu Chujin talking about? Why aren’t you being clearer?”

Yu Chujin did not speak anymore. What else was there to say? She didn’t want to talk anymore. She couldn’t explain it clearly, and even if she did, she would pretend not to understand. She might as well just bite her again.

She wanted to bite her hard, but this kind of force was just like scratching an itch for her.

“Yu Chujin is too comfortable, so she keeps biting me. She’s too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she’s using this way to express it, right?”

Yu Chujin, who was about to bite her again, forcefully stopped and urgently withdrew her biting action.

“You’re a bad snake. You’re getting worse and worse,” Yu Chujin’s tone was both scolding and coquettish, soft, and had no deterrence.

“I’m a good snake. I can feel it. Yu Chujin doesn’t hate this. And,” her voice suddenly lowered, and she came close to her ear, so itchy that her ears tingled.

“Yu Chujin likes it very much. Your scent is richer and sweeter than usual.”

Qingli could smell all the subtle scents in the air, not to mention that it was not subtle now.

Yu Chujin was sometimes really troubled by her dog’s nose, even more exaggerated than a dog’s nose. It was so sensitive that Yu Chujin couldn’t hide even if she wanted to.

A sense of weightlessness came.

Yu Chujin hurriedly hugged her neck. She was actually easily picked up in a princess carry.

“What are you doing?” Yu Chujin said angrily, “Put me down.”

“You have no strength to walk, do you?” Qingli looked down and nuzzled her face.

Yu Chujin’s lips parted and closed. In the end, she couldn’t say anything, because what she had said was the truth. Yu Chujin had no strength to walk now. If she insisted on walking, it would be quite wretched. It was better to be carried by her.

“Hmm?” Yu Chujin frowned, “What are you doing? The direction is wrong. Why are you carrying me back to the bathroom?”

Qingli did not answer her question, but directly placed her on the sink. The thin fabric came into contact with the porcelain surface of the sink, and the cold sensation made her whole body tremble.

Yu Chujin wanted to get off the sink. Just as she moved, she was stopped by Qingli, who had leaned over.

Qingli’s hands were on both sides of the sink, trapping her.

“What are you carrying me on this for? Go away. I want to get down.”

“Yu Chujin likes it here. I know.”

Yu Chujin bit her lip, “What do you mean, I like it here? Who said I like it here? Did I say that? Don’t just understand it on your own.”

Qingli: “You like it. Qingli can see it. You like to be on the sink, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, on the windowsill…”

Yu Chujin covered her mouth.

Qingli gently pushed away her hand that was covering her mouth, “Yu Chujin, don’t be shy. This is very normal. I’m your mate. You can tell me wherever you like. You can also tell me your feelings. Of course, even if you don’t tell me, I also know.”

Yu Chujin grabbed the clothes on her shoulder. The silk clothes had the same touch as her body, soft and gentle.

“Look, the Yu Chujin in the mirror is very beautiful. Qingli likes you like this.”

“Shut up.”

Yu Chujin secretly looked at herself in the mirror, but she quickly averted her gaze and didn’t dare to look again.

…The night was deep.

The sky was bright…

She woke up from a deep sleep. The first thing she saw was the green-haired woman lying beside her, staring at her without blinking.

The woman’s skin was fair, and she didn’t even have a single pore on her face. Her features were distinct, and her facial features were deep.

It was as if her face had been carefully carved, so perfect that there was not a single flaw, so perfect that she didn’t seem to be a person who existed in this world, but more like a person who would appear in a dream.

Yu Chujin looked at her and was in a daze for a moment before she slightly came back to her senses.

“When did you wake up? You haven’t been sleeping all this time, have you?” Yu Chujin’s voice was very hoarse, “What time is it now?”

Qingli asked back instead of answering, her eyes shining, “Have you rested enough, Yu Chujin?”

Yu Chujin’s face was black.

“I don’t know if I’ve rested enough, but if you want me to die, you can just continue. If I die, I die,” Yu Chujin’s tone was faint, as if she had seen through life and death.

“Die? Of course not! Yu Chujin is very healthy. You can’t talk nonsense,” Qingli sat up, agitated.

Yu Chujin also sat up, her tone still very calm, “I’m red now, right?”

Qingli nodded, “Yes, Yu Chujin is red. She’s very healthy, very healthy.”

Yu Chujin smiled, “But do you know that a person can also suddenly turn green? If you continue like this, I’ll become a very, very green person, the kind that will die in the next second.”

Qingli’s eyes widened, “No, no. Yu Chujin, don’t talk nonsense.”

Yu Chujin calmly got dressed. As she was getting dressed, she said, “I’ll turn green. I’ll die. If you want your mate to die, you can just continue like this.”

The clothes were on. She got out of bed and put on her slippers.

She sensed that something was wrong. This snake had not spoken all this time. She looked back in confusion.

And then, she saw a pair of teary, cyan eyes.

Yu Chujin was stunned, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying again? I didn’t say anything.”

Qingli’s eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head vigorously, “You can’t die. You can’t turn green.”

“What? You only like red? You won’t like me if I turn green?”

“No, no. It’s not a matter of color.”

“Then what’s the problem? I see it’s just a matter of color. You won’t like me if I turn green.”

Yu Chujin had originally wanted to tease her, but seeing her tears fall with a whoosh, her heart instantly softened into a puddle. She leaned over and hugged her.

“Alright, alright. Why are you so serious? I was just saying that. I won’t turn green, and I won’t die. I was just kidding.”

“You can’t joke about this kind of thing.”

Yu Chujin gently patted her on the back and comforted her, “I know. I won’t joke about this kind of thing in the future.”

Qingli: “You can’t scare me. I’m scared.”

Yu Chujin let go of her embrace, held her cheeks with both hands, and looked at her red eyes from crying, “But people will always die. Even if I’m very healthy now, one of us will have to die first.”

In terms of the lifespan of a monster and a human, a human would most likely die first. A monster might be able to live for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

But a person, a person’s life is less than a hundred years. In comparison, a human’s lifespan is too short, too short.

So short that Yu Chujin actually couldn’t give her much company.

In the end, they would have to be separated. And this sadness of separation, a person would most likely not feel it, while this snake might have to bear it alone.

Yu Chujin wanted her to accept this fact in advance, but looking at her, who was crying into a mess just because she had said the word “die,” she couldn’t say anything at all.

It was not necessary to accept it in advance. When they could accompany each other, they should try their best to. Besides, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Anyway, I’m still red and bright now, which means I’m particularly healthy. I won’t die. Qingli doesn’t have to worry,” Yu Chujin patted her on the head.

“Yes, you won’t die. You’re very healthy. So have you rested enough?”

Yu Chujin gasped, “You shut up!”

Qingli was dejected, “Alright.”

Yu Chujin sat back down by the bed.

Qingli’s hand slowly moved over, grabbed her, and winked ambiguously.

Yu Chujin slapped her hand away, “Don’t misunderstand. That’s not what I meant. Don’t always think about it. I just want to ask you, what happened yesterday?”

Qingli’s expression froze for a moment. She began to look around, pretending to be busy.

“Hurry up and say it,” Yu Chujin patted her on the hand, “Don’t pretend. You can’t hide from it. You have to tell me. Do you have some kind of magic?”

Qingli: “Magic? I know magic. In immortal hero dramas, it’s the sparkling magic.”

Yu Chujin poked her on the head, “Stop with the nonsense. Do you have it or not?”

Qingli shook her head.

“You don’t? Then what happened yesterday?”

“Because you’re my mate. I have to protect you. The scale behind my ear can have this effect. It can sense your feelings.”

Yu Chujin poked her head out and looked at the scale behind her ear. A small piece was lying on the back of her ear, glowing with a faint, cyan fluorescence.

“Because I’m your mate, so your scale can communicate with my body’s feelings?”

“Yes, it can protect you. Yu Chujin is very fragile and needs my protection.”

“You’re saying that this scale on your ear is in empathy with me so that you can be aware of my condition anytime, anywhere, just to make it easier to protect me?” Yu Chujin said with a fake smile.

“Yes,” Qingli nodded with certainty.

Yu Chujin’s fake smile couldn’t be maintained. Her gaze was on her, “Where is it not good to be in empathy? It has to be there. What protection? Isn’t it for ****?”

The snake’s ears drooped. She was aggrieved and coiled into a ball.

Yu Chujin gritted her teeth. Who said this stupid snake had no tricks up her sleeve? She had the most tricks up her sleeve.

Qingli explained guiltily, “It’s mainly for protection. The rest is just a bonus. That’s not important.”

Yu Chujin: “Don’t care if it’s important or not. You’re not allowed to use this ability in the future!”

Qingli readily agreed, “Alright.”

She agreed so quickly and so readily that Yu Chujin had a bad premonition.

“Don’t just agree. You have to do it.”

“I can. I can do it. A snake never lies. I promise you.”

Yu Chujin’s mouth twitched. A snake never lies? She was the one who could lie the most. Not only did she love to lie, but she also loved to frame Da Huang.

Yu Chujin beckoned to her, “Come here. Lower your head. Let me take a closer look at your scale.”

Qingli obediently listened, came closer and lowered her head, letting her look.

The scale was semicircular and was located behind her ear, embedded in her flesh, glowing with a cyan light. Although it was just a small piece, it was not abrupt but very beautiful.

Yu Chujin was a little tempted, “Your scale, can I touch it?”

Qingli: “Of course you can.”

After getting a definite answer, Yu Chujin did not immediately reach out to touch it. Instead, she looked at her, “Can I really? The last time I touched it, you bared your fangs at me. You were so fierce, as if you wanted to bite me to death.”

And it was precisely because of Qingli’s stress reaction last time that Yu Chujin had never reached out to touch her scale again.

Qingli shook her head and explained anxiously, “No, I won’t bite you. You touched it too suddenly. I wasn’t mentally prepared. That’s why I was like that. I won’t hurt Yu Chujin. Yu Chujin, don’t be afraid.”

As she spoke, she came over and nuzzled her face.

“Then are you mentally prepared now?”

“I am. You can touch it.”

Yu Chujin reached out her hand. Qingli very cooperatively brought her head over and tilted her face to the side, making it convenient for her to touch the scale behind her ear.

Yu Chujin’s hand paused in mid-air for a few seconds, and then she cautiously pressed it.

She had originally wanted to feel what the scale felt like, but compared to the touch of the scale, Yu Chujin clearly felt…

It was as if she were touching herself.

Yu Chujin, in an emergency, shot her hand back with a whoosh. Because of this touch, she suddenly had a direct and substantial feeling about being in empathy with the scale.

Almost as soon as her hand touched the scale, Yu Chujin clearly felt it.

Why did it have to be such a shameful place?

“You said your main purpose is protection. Then can’t you be in empathy with me in another place?” Yu Chujin asked with a glimmer of hope, as if she were in a desperate struggle.

“No,” Qingli shook her head.

“Why not?” Yu Chujin frowned, “Is it that you can’t, or that you’re not willing?”

Qingli said with righteous indignation, “I can’t, and I’m not willing.”

Yu Chujin: “…”

Qingli said, “I like it like that. A snake is lustful. I’m a snake. I like it very much. If you don’t let me sleep in your room in the future, I can also do it. So, even if Yu Chujin drives me out of the room in the future, it’s useless.”

Yu Chujin: “…”

As she spoke, Qingli raised her hand, her slender, fair fingers pressing on the scale behind her ear, and she tapped it lightly.
