The inside of the bed was a little stuffy, and Shu Jintian was even covered with a thin blanket. He was so hot he couldn’t sleep well.
Shu Jintian felt himself being held by a cool body, the cooling touch alleviating the warmth of Shu Jintian’s body. Shu Jintian instinctively hugged back to be even closer to the source of cold.
It’s big snake ba. Big snake’s body is really cooling, quite useful during summer. Shu Jintian thought in a daze, his heavy eyelids finally opening a slit.
“Tiantian, you’re finally awake.”
Shu Hanyu’s delighted voice sounded. Shu Jintian couldn’t help feeling surprised. Did he sleep for long?
“Mn.” Shu Jintian shifted. The pain pierced through his body and made Shu Jintian cry out.
Shu Jintian realised his body was really painful like it had gone through a blender. Even his bones were about to fall apart.
“How do you feel? Does it still hurt?” Shu Hanyu asked in concern.
“Ah? It hurts ah!” Shu Jintian said vaguely.
Once he opened his mouth, Shu Jintian realised that his throat was also incredibly painful like it had been scoured with sandpaper. His voice was also hoarse and unpleasant-sounding. Shu Jintian couldn’t help but frown.
Shu Jintian had just awoken from his dark sleep, and his mind was like paste; he couldn’t remember what had happened to him.
“I’m sorry!” Shu Hanyu hugged Shu Jintian’s body and spoke guiltily.
“Big snake? …cough!” His throat seemed to have been ruined from shouting, his voice raspy and hoarse, like a broken bellows, and was extremely unpleasant to hear. Shu Jintian cleared his throat before he continued asking.
“Did I sleep for very long?”
“You already slept for a day and night. Now you’re finally awake.” Shu Hanyu was incredibly scared, hugging Shu Jintian tight.
“I slept for that long?” Shu Jintian’s mind was muddled, and his thoughts were half a beat slower. With a hand pressed against the mattress, he tried to sit up. But all his strength seemed to have been taken from him, making him unable to even support his own weight.
When Shu Hanyu saw Shu Jintian wanting to get up, he hastily helped him up, nestling Shu Jintian against his body.
“Tiantian slept for so long, you must be hungry ba. I already boiled you soup and it’s perfect timing for you to eat. But you never woke up and it already became cold. I’ll go warm it up.” Shu Hanyu looked at Shu Jintian in distress, speaking softly.
Since Shu Hanyu was going to heat up the soup, he supported Shu Jintian and propped him against the bed.

Shu Jintian’s relaxed body suddenly stiffened and he recalled how Shu Hanyu had humiliated him, and was so angry his pores were smoking. The next moment, his memories of the little snakes being thrown away by Shu Hanyu also slowly returned. Shu Jintian panicked and no longer cared about arguing with Shu Hanyu, anxiously asking, “The little snakes ne? Did they come back?”

“You get out!” Shu Jintian indignantly shoved Shu Hanyu, but didn’t think he was too weak and wasn’t able to move Shu Hanyu. Instead, he jolted from his own rebound and fell on the bed.
“Tiantian!” Shu Hanyu immediately helped Shu Jintian up, incredibly distressed. Shu Hanyu tenderly stroked Shu Jintian’s pale cheek. Someone as powerful as him felt helplessness for the first time.
Shu Hanyu had no alternative with this current situation. Clearly he just released the little snakes; why did Tiantian care so much? Why was he so angry with him? Children naturally had to leave their fathers after growing up, so weren’t they the same?
Shu Jintian coldly shot a look at Shu Hanyu, then snorted, turning his head to avoid him.
He didn’t know how the little snakes were doing now; it’s already been so long, and he didn’t know whether the little snakes were still together.
After a day and a half, the little snakes must have already encountered a lot of things. The snakelets that were able to adapt to no adults protecting them probably weren’t scared anymore ba. As for the baby snakes that couldn’t adapt… Shu Jintian’s heart stung and he didn’t dare think any more.
Looking at Shu Hanyu’s attitude, he had no plans of looking for their children. And with such a long time passing, they had missed the best time to save them, so now he could only slowly look for them. The little snakes were wild animals no matter what, and probably wouldn’t find it hard to survive in the forest. …Wait a second! Shu Jintian thought of something and suddenly came to a realisation.
The reason why the big snake abandoned the little snakes was also because it was the nature of snakes, right? Although Shu Hanyu could turn into a human, his character and habit was still that of a snake. When carefully thinking about it, though the big snake didn’t like the little snakes, he still taught them survival skills and wasn’t completely heartless to them.
Could it really be just because of his race’s habit that he threw away the little snakes? Then wasn’t Shu Jintian getting angry at him like that just wronging him? But didn’t snakes also have innumerable snake nests? Or could it be that snake types were different?
When Shu Jintian thought of this, he couldn’t help imagining this cave becoming a snake nest. The scene of it being jam-packed with snakes of various colours instantly made his hair stand on end and he shivered.
“Tiantian, are you cold? Then just cover yourself with the blanket, I’ll warm up the soup for you. You won’t be cold after being full,” Shu Hanyu said worriedly, and covered Shu Jintian with the thin, white blanket. Shu Hanyu looked normal, but when he saw the female avoiding him like this, his heart felt like it was seized.
Shu Jintian was now especially calm, aside from his attitude towards Shu Hanyu.
When Shu Jintian heard this, he didn’t even turn his head back as he deeply said, “Get out, I don’t want to see you!”
Cold war, they must have a cold war!
Hmph! To actually throw away his children while hiding it from laozi, and also being so rough to laozi. But he couldn’t beat him, so Shu Jintian could only carry out the silent treatment.
Shu Jintian showed Shu Hanyu the back of his head, the resentment in his heart hard to calm.
“I’ll go warm the soup, Tiantian just wait for me.” Shu Hanyu didn’t mind at all. After tucking Shu Jintian in, he left the bed.
Shu Jintian only secretly raised his head when there were no more sounds in the cave. Seeing that Shu Hanyu wasn’t around, he tore off the blankets on him.
Shu Jintian just felt the pain on his body. Now that he looked, he realised his chest was inflamed from the chafing, and some areas had been skinned. His wrists also had a swollen circle of red ‘bracelets’, and hurt with every move.
Shu Jintian didn’t feel like caring about such small injuries, but the agony between his legs couldn’t be ignored. Shu Jintian was tangled up for a few seconds before he stiffly bent down and touched his anus with a hand.
It was just a light touch, yet that place brought a sharp pain. Shu Jintian scrunched his face up and touched the insides. The insides were sticky, but fortunately those things had already been removed by the big snake.
After Shu Jintian finished his examination, he let out a long breath, and his forehead was already covered in sweat.
He had no clothes in bed, so Shu Jintian just lifted the bed curtains and his clothes were on the stool beside the bed.
Shu Jintian dressed up while enduring the pain when he suddenly caught a glimpse of an emerald green vine out of the corner of his eye.
Shu Jintian stared at it. It was a vine that was about the width of his pinkie. Shu Jintian was surprised. He didn’t use such coarse vines when weaving clothes; what was the big snake planning to do?
Right at this time, Shu Hanyu slipped down the cave while carrying the soup pot. Seeing that Shu Jintian was outside, he gave him a smile.
“Tiantian is up? I’ll go get a bowl and chopsticks, you’ll be able to eat soon.”
“Oh!” Shu Jintian replied and gave Shu Hanyu a vigilant look, wanting to distinguish his thoughts through his expression.
Fuck me! Shu Hanyu definitely wants to lock up laozi again! It’s not like laozi would run off again! What’s he locking up for ah?!
Shu Hanyu put down the soup pot, then went back up to grab the tableware. When he returned back down, he saw Shu Jintian blankly sitting beside the bed. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but his face had a very ugly appearance.
Shu Hanyu called again, “It’s done. Tiantian can come eat.”
“Huh? Oh!” Shu Jintian suddenly startled awake and replied in a daze. Then, he forced on a fawning smile, laughing out a ‘hehe’. But the hands hidden behind his back were tightly fisted! Endure! I’ll endure!
Fucking christ, I don’t want to be locked up again no matter what. The little snakes are still waiting for me to look for them ne!
Shu Hanyu’s eyes brightened with a whoosh and he delightedly said, “Tiantian doesn’t blame me? I was too rough that day, and I even hurt you. I’m sorry! It won’t be like this in the future.”
Shu Hanyu walked over to carry Shu Jintian to the dining table, making him sit on his lap and gently rubbing his face against Shu Jintian’s head.
Shu Jintian stiffened when he heard Shu Hanyu’s words and took a few deep breaths before he could restrain himself. He replied, “Mn!”
He had just replied when he saw Shu Hanyu’s eyes become bright, so intensely that it nearly blinded his eyes into narrowing. He couldn’t help his self-restraint from falling apart, and Shu Jintian hastily said, “I’m hungry!”
“Then Tiantian should quickly eat ba. Be careful of scalding yourself!” Shu Hanyu eagerly helped scoop up the soup for Shu Jintian and brought the soup ladle to his lips, looking at Shu Jintian lovingly.
Shu Jintian lowered his head and gently hummed in reply, accepting the spoon.
Having not eaten for two days, Shu Jintian now couldn’t even hold a spoon steady and the spoon began trembling along with his hand, the soup spilling out before reaching his mouth. If it weren’t for Shu Hanyu’s help in avoiding it while holding Shu Jintian, the boiling soup would have fallen on Shu Jintian’s body.
Shu Jintian felt a little embarrassed and looked at the wet floor, but his focus was on his hands. He was doing his best to stabilise his hand, but the spoon was still shaking in his hands and he could only barely stop the spoon from falling.
Distressed, Shu Hanyu took the spoon from Shu Jintian’s hand and gently said, “Tiantian, I’ll feed you. Tell me if it’s too hot.”
Because Shu Hanyu was afraid of the heat, he never tried overly hot food, so he didn’t know how hot Shu Jintian wanted to eat.
“No need!” Shu Jintian reflexively refused, then immediately looked at Shu Hanyu uneasily.
Disappointment flashed by Shu Hanyu’s eyes and he insistently said, “Tiantian, be good. Open your mouth.”
Shu Jintian caught the look in Shu Hanyu’s eyes that instant, and his heart softened.
“Fine ba.” Shu Jintian couldn’t help saying. After that, he became really annoyed.
Fuck, aren’t I just being good for you for that one moment? Why do I keep conceding with no bottom line ne?! Why can’t laozi hold up against Shu Hanyu’s gentle offensive ne, fucking hell!
In the end, Shu Jintian was just a pitiful person. He had lived in an unloving family, and always yearned for a life that had love the most.
Shu Hanyu happily scooped up the soup and carefully blew on it before bringing it to Shu Jintian, looking at him expectantly.
“Drink ah, Tiantian.”
The green vine was thus lying on the side of the soup pot, gently reminding Shu Jintian of its existence. Fine ba, he’ll just endure while looking at the vine.
Shu Jintian obediently opened his mouth and drank up the bird soup in the spoon. The Blazing Bird was still tasty and appetising; he just drank a mouthful when his stomach began rumbling and calling out. Shu Jintian also no longer acted pretentious and pigged out with Shu Hanyu’s help.
As for finding his children, he should first make Shu Hanyu feel reassured and lower his guard. After Shu Jintian filled his stomach, he pondered over how to find the little snakes.
Hahhaha Tiantian can’t really ignore Hanyu’s care!~
Thanks for the chapter<3
Poor Little snakes QAQ
I hope the snakelets are okay.
Thanks for the chap ❤
I believe the snakelets will come back somehow!! I BELIEVE
+1
Thanks for the new chapter! Just reading about Tiantian’s pain made me wince.
TianTian: I don’t want to talk to Hanyu!
-later-
TianTian: hurry up and feed me!!!
Thanks for the chapter~
I have to keep telling myself that this is a fcking snake and he doesn’t have human emotions and what he knows is passed down through a group memory… but I’m still angry! >-<
Thanks for the chapter!
We all are. Not cool, big snake. I’m not sure our hero would survive on his own, though.
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)❤
Am I the only one pissed, that TianTian still does not asks a bit. Hell he even realises that Hanyu as a snake might have diffrent habits. I get that the last chapter was cruel but is there really no trust? Just say something **** it’s not like you can leave if he does not want you to… At least make your point clear!
Sorry for ranting, just could not help it anymore…
I honestly agree reading through their fight I could only hope he would ask the reason for throwing the babies.
Hope they can find little snakes and thank you for the chapter 😃
I hope the baby snake 🐍 is could be found back?
Not me balling my eyes about and having a mental breakdown because of the last chapter and our mc forgiving ml too quickly, fuck this is so unhealthy and abusive, I want to keep telling myself it’s because they are beastmen and don’t have morals but fuck it’s hurts to read this, like literal torture. I dunno how u guys can support or comment happy things on this chapter
+1 I know it’s fictional but it seems like people are thinking too optimistically about this couple
Thanks for the great translation ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Aaa he finally realized that theyre just snakes and have to leave the nest. And in the next moment he’s thinking about finding them :v. Just leave them alone they can’t grow up with theyre parents. U can’t get mad to hanyu for that. But u definitely can for the rape. I’ll kill that idiot snake.
I would never understand the emotions of humans towards their babies. I have one myself and I’m waiting like a normal animal for him to grow up and go away so I can be with my husband alone :v
