SIATOWITF Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Feels great, the scales are also smooth. I’d rather die of heat here…

“It’s eleven o’clock now, play for forty minutes and then go to sleep.” Ji Mo An took a bathrobe from the closet and changed into waterproof shoes.

He grabbed two bottles of soda from the refreshment bar, opened the door to the indoor swimming pool.

It was a corridor covered with a non-slip carpet, leading to a shallow pool with gradually changing water temperatures from warm to cold. After adapting to the water temperature, opening another door would lead to the formal swimming pool.

It was the smell of water. The little snake poked its head out from his collar, extending its small red tongue to explore the air.

“Don’t be anxious.” Ji Mo An walked to the French window on the opposite side of the pool and closed the curtains before placing the little snake on the ground.

“The pool’s deepest point is 1.8 meters, be careful not to get sucked into the drain.” He sat on the soft beach chair by the shore, opened a soda, and played some gentle music.

It had been a while since he’d been this relaxed… Ji Mo An yawned, idly flipping through his phone.

…

Splash…

The little snake, diligently struggling against the drain at the bottom of the pool, keenly detected an unusual sound in the water.

It stretched its body and instantly transformed into a half-human, half-snake form, swimming upwards.

“Ji Mo An.” Xuan Bai burst out of the water, his wet black hair clinging to his chest, several streams of water flowing along the lines of his muscles into the scales, then dripping onto the pure white tiles.

“Ji Mo An, Ji Mo An…” He supported himself with one hand, swimming along the slippery ground to the soft chair.

The man lying on the chair had clearly fallen asleep, but his brow was furrowed, every muscle tense and unrelaxed.

“Ji Mo An.” Xuan Bai continued to call his name softly, his black snake tail coiling around the man’s fair ankle.

“Ugh…” Ji Mo An tilted his head, his breathing becoming more rapid, occasionally uttering a few vague murmurs.

“Hiss~” Xuan Bai grabbed the armrest of the soft chair, gently pushing Ji Mo An’s glasses off with his nose.

“Ji Mo An…”

After a soft call, the light suddenly went out.

A pair of golden vertical pupils suddenly lit up in the darkness, like two clusters of floating flames.

Xuan Bai stared at Ji Mo An’s brow, the golden pupils reflecting the round beast pupils that existed only in dreams.

“Hiss~” The nightmare closed its eyes in fear, turning into a puff of mist and retreating into the endless darkness.

“Ji Mo An.”

He couldn’t touch with tongue in the human world… Xuan Bai remembered…

So he gently kissed the man’s eyelids, embracing the man whose brow gradually relaxed.

Unlike human walking, the snake’s crawling was smoother, faster, and more silent…

At midnight, a dark shadow flashed past, leaving the silence again to the warmly lit corridor.

When Ji Mo An woke up, it was already bright.

He turned over in the soft blanket, habitually reaching for his glasses.

Unfortunately, the hotel bed was large, and he only felt a piece of cold, soft obstacle after groping for a long time.

Cold and soft?

Ji Mo An suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xuan Bai leaning on his side, propping his head with one hand and looking at him.

Ji Mo An lowered his head silently. Although his vision was a little blurry, it didn’t prevent him from seeing that his hand was resting on Xuan Bai’s chest.

“…”

Ji Mo An subconsciously squeezed it. It felt quite good… the scales were also smooth… quite comfort…

Comfort my ass!

As if some action had directly opened up the Ren and Du meridians, Ji Mo An had already flipped over and sat up, kicking Xuan Bai in the abdomen before his brain could catch up.

Plop…

The pretty snake stared with golden eyes, grabbing the quilt and falling to the ground, but the snake tail instantly coiled around Ji Mo An’s leg again.

“Hah…” Xuan Bai bared his teeth and instantly jumped up from the ground, hissing loudly at Ji Mo An while covered in the quilt.

Bang…

The next second, a book slammed onto his face, and the snake instantly slumped, covering his face and collapsing to the ground.

Fifth time!

Human! Bad!

“…” Ji Mo An sat on the bed, still holding a book he didn’t know where he got it from, his mind wandering.

Wait…

What did he do? What happened…

How could he so smoothly kick Xuan Bai to the ground and then hit his face with a book… He even reached out to grab the book before Xuan Bai even started hissing…

Ji Mo An stared blankly at the book in his hand. What was this… Did he predict Xuan Bai’s actions?

“Xuan Bai.” There was suddenly no movement under the bed, and he finally fully reacted.

He quickly climbed to the edge of the bed and saw a pile of white things squirming on the ground.

“Before I calm down, I won’t get up from the floor.” Xuan Bai wrapped in the quilt, looked coldly at the ceiling.

“…” Crap, two words suddenly popped up in Ji Mo An’s mind.

“Aren’t you hot?” He continued to grope for his glasses, bracing himself, and luckily found them on the bedside table.

“Hot.” Xuan Bai rolled in the quilt, and the pale skin could be seen faintly reddening through the gaps in the fabric, “I’d rather die of heat here than get up.”

“I remember I fell asleep in the swimming pool yesterday.” Ji Mo An rubbed his brow.

“Hmph.” The snake snorted coldly.

“Did you bring me back?” Ji Mo An got out of bed and touched Xuan Bai’s head through the quilt.

“No, you sleepwalked back yourself.”

“…” Ji Mo An felt a twitch in his forehead, “What do you want to eat in the morning?” He softened his voice.

“I want to starve to death here.”

“…” How is this even more difficult than Ji Mo Xin.

“I’m sorry.” He bent down and said softly.

The squirming Xuan Bai suddenly sat up, and he opened the quilt with a swish, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

“What did you say?”

“…I said I’m sorry, it was my fault for hitting you this time.” Ji Mo An was startled by his reaction.

“Say it again.” Xuan Bai swung his tail and slapped it on the desk, revealing an extremely hateful smug expression.

“…” Damn, I want to hit the snake again… Ji Mo An silently clenched his fists.

“Go to the drawer.” He took a deep breath and pulled open the drawer next to him.

“You want to silence me?” Xuan Bai narrowed his eyes, two sharp fangs pressing against his lips.

“How dare I.” Ji Mo An said helplessly, “I’m going to have them send breakfast, you’re likely to cause problems here. Do you want Western or Chinese?”

“Anything but vegetables.” Xuan Bai slowly shrank his head back into the quilt, and when he crawled out again, he had become a small snake as thick as a finger.

Ji Mo An put this unscientific little thing into the drawer and pressed the call button for room service.

After a while, the butler led the food delivery robot and the chef to stand in a row in front of the dining table.

“No need to introduce.” Ji Mo An preemptively blocked the chef’s mouth, who was preparing to speak freely.

“The white plate is Western breakfast, the blue plate is Chinese breakfast, President An, I brought some ingredients, the taste is better if made on the spot…” The chef squeezed the small plate in disappointment.

“Wish you a pleasant meal.” The butler stopped the chef, bowed with a smile.

“Go ahead.” Ji Mo An waved his hand, letting the butler take the robot away together.

—–

Ji Mo An waited a long time for Xuan Bai to come out, so he walked over and opened the drawer himself.

“Xuan Bai.”

Ji Mo An looked at the tangled mess in the drawer, feeling the veins on his forehead popping.

The little snake poked its head out of a pile of straps and crawled onto the bed along the drawer.

The next second, the quilt bulged suddenly, and the black-haired, golden-eyed man put on the robe in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, the clothes were Ji Mo An’s size, so Xuan Bai couldn’t tie the collar.

“They wrapped around me first.” Xuan Bai opened his eyes and lied, shamelessly slandering a pile of ropes.

“Then demonstrate it again.” Ji Mo An finally managed to move his gaze away from the silver tattoo on his collarbone and saw Xuan Bai suddenly smile at him.

Not a smirk, not a silly smile, but a kind of smile that slightly raised the corners of his lips, softly, overflowing from the bottom of his eyes.

The beautiful golden pupils were rippling with smiles, like pearls shimmering.

“Get your ass to eat.” Ji Mo An turned his head away with a swish, a blush appearing on his ears.

It’s really cheating…

“Don’t laugh.” He adjusted the hem of his clothes a little uncomfortably, walked past Xuan Bai and sat down at the dining table.

“So domineering~” Xuan Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, swaying and following behind him.

…

“Brother, I…”

Ji Mo An quickly forked a small piece of bread and stuffed it into Xuan Bai’s mouth.

There’s no good news with this title!

“Special Assistant Bai said yesterday that he would take me to breakfast at eight in the morning.” Xuan Bai swallowed the small piece of bread in one bite, without affecting his speech at all.

“What time is it… what’s with your mouth?” Ji Mo An looked at the bare fork and fell silent. That small piece of bread was half the size of his fist.

“I have ligaments here, I can open it quickly… Brother is so choked…” Xuan Bai pointed to his chin, and suddenly coughed twice.

“I won’t watch!” Ji Mo An felt a burst of dizziness in front of him when he saw Xuan Bai’s jaw move.

This snake has been doing a live-action transformation every day, already dancing on his bottom line, and now he can’t bear to see Xuan Bai make any inhuman moves in human form.

Moreover…

“You have a collarbone, why are you swallowing blindly!” Ji Mo An clearly saw a bulge in the skin under Xuan Bai’s neck, which scared him so much that he poured the whole cup of coffee into Xuan Bai’s mouth.

“Hot…” Xuan Bai had completely swallowed the bread at this moment, and then suffered a heavy blow from the coffee.

A few minutes later, Ji Mo An pulled out the little black snake from his clothes, which had been scalded to the point of pretending to be dead, and when he turned his head, he saw that the hands of the clock on the wall had just passed the number eight.

“…” What did Xuan Bai just say?

Was it eight o’clock?

It wasn’t eight o’clock, was it…

…

“It’s eight o’clock!” Ji Mo An grabbed the snake and stuffed it into his pocket, grabbed his coat and ran out.

Bai Yan had a strong sense of time, saying eight o’clock meant definitely not delaying until eight o’clock and one minute.

Ji Mo An pressed the elevator while calling Special Assistant Bai, but all he heard was the busy tone of the call.

Very good, Xuan Bai’s phone was still in his own room.

Ji Mo An turned right and saw Special Assistant Bai standing in front of the door, frowning and calling Xuan Bai.

“President An.” Seeing his superior, Bai Yan immediately put away his phone.

“Yeah, I was passing by.” Ji Mo An nodded, and the two of them were silent in the corridor.

“President An, I made an appointment with Brother Xuan to have breakfast together yesterday…” Special Assistant Bai looked a little embarrassed at the closed door.

“He’s adjusting to the time difference.” Ji Mo An said something he didn’t even believe himself, and pinched the snake’s tail through his clothes. “I’ll…”

Before he could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

A man with delicate features held the handle, his beautiful amber eyes sweeping over the two people opposite him.

“Sorry, I accidentally locked it from the inside, just opened it.” His voice was slightly hoarse, elegant and deep.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, the structure of the doors in our country may be different from those abroad.” Special Assistant Bai was obviously relieved, but Ji Mo An suddenly stiffened.

His hand was still in his pocket and hadn’t had time to take it out, his fingertips still resting on the cold snake tail.

Who is the person in that room…
