âAs expected of our little princess. Sheâs so pretty.â Yan Xuâs voice suddenly sounded in the living room.
âBrother!â
âAlright, alright, everyoneâs here, letâs eat!â The gentle voice of their mother, Nie He, was filled with happiness.
âLittle Jiaojiao, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?â Her older brother Yan Xu asked the same question as her father did the day before.
Before Yan Jiao could reply, Yan Xu continued, âYou donât know this, but when you werenât around, the two of them talked about you day and night.â
âWhen you werenât around, the two of them always treated me like air and ignored me. Now that youâre back, theyâre going to ignore me.â
âAiya, now that I think about it, Iâm really pitiful. My good sister, for the sake of your brother, you have to rest at home for a few days and spend some time with our parents. This way, when they are happy, they will be able to care about me, a poor soul. â
Yan Xu sighed and sat beside Yan Jiao, but his expression did not have the heartbreak that was articulated in his words. On the contrary, he winked at Yan Jiao.
Yan Jiao knew that although her brother said what he said, he did not have such thoughts at all. He was just saying it to make her happy, to let her know that this family was full of people who loved her.
However, when she thought about how she had been thinking about her parents day and night, Yan Jiao felt guilty. She looked at her parents in embarrassment. âIâm sorry, dad and momâ¦â
âThis is the path you chose, and youâve done well. Iâm proud of you.â
âSilly child, why are you apologizing? When a mother has such an outstanding daughter, she could only be proud. Alright, letâs eat.â
Yan Jiao looked at her family, and there was only a sweet feeling of happiness in her heart.
When she was young, Yan Jiao was sent to her grandmotherâs house to stay because her parents were busy with their careers. She was only brought back when the Yan familyâs business was stable.
At that time, Yan Jiao was already a slim and elegant little girl. She could not remember her childhood memories with her parents very clearly, so she felt a sense of alienation from the family, like an intimate stranger.
However, Yan Jiao knew that everyone in this family was truly good to her.
Breakfast ended in laughter. After breakfast, Yan Jiao contacted Tang Yi and asked him to come over to check on her body. She also asked him about her dream.
Soon, Tang Yi arrived and brought Yan Jiao to the infirmary in the Yan family villa, which was well equipped with medical equipment.
âUncle Tang, I have something to tell you.â
Tang Yi, who was checking Yan Jiaoâs body, raised his head and looked at Yan Jiao. âGo on, your Uncle Tang is listening.â
âItâs⦠Itâs just that I feel that thereâs something wrong with my body. â Yan Jiao stammered, not knowing how to tell Uncle Tang that she had sex with a snake in her dream.
âIâve been dreaming these days. Iâve been entangled by a python, and Iâve had the same dream for several night in a row.â Yan Jiao did not know how to describe it, so she chose to compromise.
âThat python intrudes into my dreams daily. Uncle Tang, do I have a mental problem?â
After hearing this, Tang Yi examined Yan Jiaoâs body again.
âJiaojiao, thereâs nothing wrong with your body. In fact, youâre very healthy. As for what you said about being entangled with the same Python in your dreams, I think it might be because youâre too focused on your archaeological work, and your nerves are always in a state of tension. Itâs caused by excessive stress.â
âI guess Iâve been under too much pressure recently. Thank you, Uncle Tang. Goodbye. â
After sending Tang Yi off, Yan Jiao looked at the ring on her finger with mixed feelings.
She stood there in silence for a long time.
She was very healthy!
Yan Jiaoâs anxious heart slowly returned to its original state. She heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this might be the best news of the day.
After that, Yan Jiao returned to her bedroom and went online to search for legends and ruins related to snakes, to see if she could find any information about to her ring.
The more Yan Jiao scoured the internet, the more fascinated she became. She gradually forgot the time, forgot herself, and threw everything to the back of her mind.
