SIATOWITF Chapter 15
by VolareChapter 15: Let the Snake In! Coming Unhappy, Leaving Even More Unhappy…
It was as if one second they were enemies, and the next they were extremely intimate.
And these two relationships often switched within seconds.
Like how he was clearly terrified by Xuan Bai but still wanted to find a way to control him, yet couldn’t stand seeing others bully Xuan Bai.
Or how one moment he was hitting Xuan Bai with a book, and the next he could take him to the company and on a business trip as if nothing had happened.
And Xuan Bai seemed very adapted to this mode of interaction.
Even very adapted to being hit… Ji Mo An shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.
Although he was annoying, not fighting back when hit was one of Xuan Bai’s few virtues.
“We’ll be there in an hour and a half, just bear with it.” Ji Mo An sighed, he unwound the snake from his waist, held him in his arms, and covered him with the blanket. The snake obediently let him do as he pleased.
Click, the lights in the cabin dimmed, and darkness gently enveloped the entire room.
…
After the plane landed, Xuan Bai seemed to recover instantly.
The beautiful snake popped his head out of the blanket, his round, golden eyes gleaming in the dark.
Snakey, fully resurrected!
“You have three minutes to get dressed.” Ji Mo An looked at the snake crawling around everywhere and almost laughed in exasperation. He threw the clothes onto Xuan Bai’s head, accurately pinning the snake, who had already crawled to the foot of the bed, underneath them.
Sacrifice a set of clothes and get a handsome man.
When Xuan Bai followed Ji Mo An out of the lounge, the intense curiosity in the air was stronger than strong liquor.
Meng Xiao and Special Assistant Bai were undoubtedly the source of these emotions.
Fortunately, Meng Xiao wasn’t familiar with Xuan Bai yet, and Special Assistant Bai had a very accurate understanding of his role.
The two of them were steeped in emotion but managed to not ask a single question.
After getting off the plane, hotel staff had already parked the car directly below the plane.
“Boss, Little Yu and I will go first.” Meng Xiao took Little Yu to the shuttle bus, while Ji Mo An took Xuan Bai directly into another black Volvo.
Or rather, a modified car disguised as a Volvo.
“This one doesn’t handle as well as the other one.” Special Assistant Bai touched the steering wheel, expressing his feelings about rich people.
Ji Mo An bought cars almost in complete series, and he had a car waiting for him in the garage at almost every business trip destination he frequented.
Shan Lan was located in the south and close to the sea, making it the most prosperous city in that area.
And because it hadn’t been built for many years, the city center was almost entirely made up of tall buildings, and it was rare to see buildings with historical charm.
Sparkling.
Xuan Bai pressed himself against the cool glass, watching the night scene outside the car window quickly receding.
“President Ji, we’ve arrived.” Special Assistant Bai saw the magnificent, castle-like building in the center of a cluster of high-rise buildings from a distance.
“Okay… hmm?” Ji Mo An stopped speaking mid-sentence and answered a call.
So late at night…
“What’s the matter?”
“Old An, guess what?” Ji Cheng Yu leaned back in his gaming chair, crossing his legs, extremely comfortable.
“Speak.” Ji Mo An couldn’t help but roll his eyes, what a ridiculous way to address him.
“How efficient am I? I stopped Daisy’s class this afternoon, and they called tonight to ask about it, and then they said they wanted to invest in another drama.”
“And then?” Ji Mo An could already imagine Ji Cheng Yu’s triumphant look.
“Of course I declined, damn, I’ve been putting up with him for years. Then that person started threatening and enticing me. I’m telling you, his rambling remarks were filled with dirty deals.”
“Hilarious, then I said Daisy offended you. That side immediately went silent hahaha.”
“Is this what it feels like to have a backer?” Ji Cheng Yu howled and slammed the table.
“But it’s so strange, did Daisy take the wrong medicine to dare throw…”
“Cheng Yu.” Ji Mo An quickly interrupted him. “Did you receive the invitation to the charity gala?”
“Ah? I received it, I’ll arrive on Saturday night.” Ji Cheng Yu was still savoring the moment. “I’ll go back to my house first, and then go with my parents.”
“Go with Xin Xin, I’ll go straight back from Xuan An.” In the end, Ji Mo An couldn’t bear to have Ji Mo Xin share a car with Lin Mo.
“Sure. Hey, then I’ll pick her up earlier on Friday, bro will take Xin Xin out to play for a day first, isn’t Zhou Ge’s amusement park just opened?”
“Okay, I’ve arranged a car, you go directly to my house on Saturday.” Ji Mo An ruthlessly concealed the crucial information that Lin Mo would be in the car.
“Got it!” The happy Ji Cheng Yu hung up the phone, obviously unaware of the ‘tragic’ journey ahead.
After hanging up the phone, the car also passed through the front garden and came to a smooth stop at the hotel entrance.
The butler and valet, who had been waiting for a long time, swarmed up, surrounding the three of them.
Ji Mo An quietly glanced at Xuan Bai and found that he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He even secretly took a mint from the plate at the front desk.
What kind of environment did this snake live in before… Ji Mo An was getting more and more curious. He was now certain that Xuan Bai’s previous living conditions were very wealthy.
It couldn’t be an alien life form, could it…
Ji Mo An suddenly shivered. It couldn’t be… Could aliens look exactly like Earth creatures?
He was lost in wild thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he encountered another difficult problem.
“President Ji, I booked a single standard room on the second floor for Brother Xuan.” Special Assistant Bai held down the elevator button, desperately signaling Xuan Bai with his eyes.
“…Go ahead.” Ji Mo An nodded.
However, Xuan Bai didn’t seem willing to move, and stood behind him with peace of mind.
Dead snake… With so many people around, Ji Mo An couldn’t openly chase him away, so he could only lead the way.
“You don’t need to follow, I have things to do.”
“Okay, President Ji, coffee and pastries have already been delivered to your room, we’ll send another…” The butler immediately agreed.
“No need.”
“Then I wish you a pleasant evening.” The butler gave a standard smile and bowed slightly before quickly leaving.
“You.” Ji Mo An took the room card from Special Assistant Bai and personally swiped it to throw the snake into the room.
“Don’t always stick to me in front of outsiders. If Bai Yan wants to take you, go with him.”
“Don’t want to.” Xuan Bai followed Ji Mo An in the room, wherever the man went, the snake followed.
“…” Ji Mo An hated people who didn’t listen to him the most, so he unhesitatingly opened his bag and took out the red book.
The snake immediately became obedient and moved eight feet away from him.
“In the next few days, you’ll go with Bai Yan, understand? You can only come to me if he agrees.”
“Okay.” Xuan Bai nodded obediently.
Good your head…
Ji Mo An knew that the snake wouldn’t listen to him at all.
“I won’t let you in.” Twenty minutes later, Ji Mo An stood indifferently in front of the window, holding a cup of coffee.
The black snake pitifully tapped on the glass with its tail, but the owner of the room simply wouldn’t open the window.
Tap tap tap…
Let me in quickly! The snake raised its head and moved up and down the glass.
“Go back to your own room.” Ji Mo An pulled down the curtains with a whoosh.
Tap tap tap… Tap tap tap…
The soundproofing of the double-paned glass was very good. By the time he sat down in the soft chair, the sound of the snake’s tail tapping on the glass was almost inaudible.
If he didn’t teach the bad snake a lesson, he would really take an inch and want a mile. Ji Mo An continued to look at the design proposals Saldes had just sent.
“…”
But the windows in the hotel all looked the same… What if Xuan Bai went to the wrong room…
Or hung on the window and got picked up by a bird…
He hadn’t read a few lines of the document when a lot of wild thoughts popped into his head.
Ji Mo An angrily placed the coffee cup heavily on the saucer, got up, and pulled open the curtains.
And then he saw an empty table, empty of any snake.
Even angrier.
He yanked open the window and looked left and right, but couldn’t find a trace of the snake.
Just then, an extremely faint clanging sound reached his ears.
The sound was far away, but still within the suite.
Ji Mo An suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he immediately walked out of the master bedroom and went straight to the Garden on the stage located in the west corner.
Sure enough… Ji Mo An opened the door and saw Xuan Bai, draped in a gorgeous curtain, tiptoeing down from the tall banyan tree.
The banyan tree was very large, it had been transplanted from the forest to the garden decades ago. At this time, its thick branches extended directly above the glass sunroom.
“…” Ji Mo An took a step back and watched coldly as Xuan Bai jumped onto the glass, extremely skillfully finding the upturned skylight.
With a whoosh, the curtain slipped from the roof of the glass room and fell into the outdoor garden, and the black snake happily slipped into the flower room through the gap.
And then… and then met Ji Mo An’s eyes.
“Hiss hiss~” The snake’s eyes lit up.
Click.
Ji Mo An closed the door and quickly locked it.
The man and the snake stared at each other through the glass door.
“Let me in quickly!” The snake raised the tip of its tail and tapped on the glass.
“Xuan Bai.” Ji Mo An squatted down and looked at Xuan Bai at eye level.
“Do you think I’m being too nice to you, or do you think you can scare me, so you can do whatever you want?”
“Hiss hiss.” The snake tilted its head, the tip of its tail suddenly stiffening.
“Have I ever told you to keep your distance from me?”
The snake pitifully put its head on the ground, staring at Ji Mo An with a pair of round eyes.
“Do you know that if you come to climb my window draped in a curtain and someone takes a picture of it, how big of a deal it will be?”
“This place may be different from your previous world, but since you’ve seen humans, you should know that people are collectivists. There are many people watching me make mistakes, and even more who want to drag me down. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Wuwu…” The snake looked extremely guilty, shaking its head and biting the tip of its tail.
“Roll in here for me.”
“Wuwuwu…” The snake whimpered and crawled back, but suddenly straightened up halfway.
He said roll in, not roll back!
Xuan Bai neatly curled up and rolled to the glass door.
Ji Mo An silently covered his eyes, Xuan Bai was definitely his nemesis… Endure it, can’t laugh… Absolutely can’t laugh out loud…
“You crawl in normally for me.” He gritted his teeth and opened a small crack in the door.
“I’m coming.” The little snake stuck its head out and crawled in, obediently following behind his feet.
The man and the snake silently walked through the corridor, the restaurant, the living room, the study, the door with the indoor swimming pool sign… indoor swimming pool…
The desire flowing from the snake’s eyes was not to be ignored.
“Want to play?” Ji Mo An looked back at the snake. Perhaps because it had been outside for too long, the originally sparkling scales now looked a little dull.
The snake shook its head timidly, its eyes filled with want to play.
Xuan Bai was right… As a little snake, his brain was really not working well… Ji Mo An was cute again.
The little snake version of Xuan Bai and the human version of Xuan Bai were not the same thing at all!
He grabbed the bling-bling little snake, quickly walked back to the master bedroom, and closed the computer.
