Chapter 6: Studying, But It’s a Domineering CEO Novel… From the ‘Icelandic’ Hunk…

“Stay away from me.” Ji Mo An held the red book, as wary as a cat with its fur on end.

“I already am far away,” Xuan Bai said, dejectedly hugging his tail in the corner diagonally opposite him.

Ji Mo An, repaying kindness with enmity.

He had kindly saved him, but the first thing the man did after recovering was pick up the red book and hit him with it again.

It hurt a little.

Xuan Bai rubbed his neck; that blow almost knocked off his scales.

“What do you want?” Ji Mo An’s greatest leniency was not calling the police.

“I’m hungry, give me some food,” Xuan Bai finally heard something that pleased him.

Honestly, those few eggs this morning were as good as nothing.

“Food?” Ji Mo An doubted his ears.

“You starved me as soon as I arrived, and you locked me up in such a small place. I’ll starve to death if you don’t feed me,” Xuan Bai said, feeling more and more justified, even proudly puffing out his chest.

“You…” Ji Mo An didn’t know how to respond for a moment, subconsciously following Xuan Bai’s train of thought.

“Do you want to eat… mice?” As soon as he said it, Ji Mo An realized it was a bit presumptuous, but he knew what snakes ate and what people ate, but what about a half-snake, half-human creature…

Sure enough, it was Xuan Bai’s turn to explode.

“I don’t eat that!”

How could a noble Infinite Flow Player eat the same things as an ordinary snake? Eating eggs was already a last resort.

A few hours later,

Ji Mo An sat in the private room as if in a dream, watching Xuan Bai, dressed impeccably, gracefully cut his steak.

His posture… anyone who didn’t know better would definitely think he was a nobleman who had run away from some Western aristocratic family.

“Do you want some?” Xuan Bai didn’t hoard food. Sensing Ji Mo An’s ‘burning’ gaze, he generously pushed a small piece of cake in front of him.

“I don’t want any, you eat it,” Ji Mo An averted his gaze and pushed the small cake back.

“Okay.” Xuan Bai wasn’t polite, daintily picking up the red cherry on top of the cake.

Eating dessert meant that the meal was coming to an end.

“If you need it, I can find someone to take you home,” Ji Mo An tentatively offered.

Home?

“…” Xuan Bai didn’t speak. He suddenly raised his head and thoughtfully sized up Ji Mo An.

“What are you looking at?” Ji Mo An frowned slightly.

“Nothing,” Xuan Bai retracted his gaze. “I was just thinking that you’re a good person. So, if I bite your neck, it shouldn’t be too painful for you to reincarnate.”

“You’re threatening me,” Ji Mo An’s voice lowered.

“No~” Xuan Bai seemingly casually used his fork to pick at the cream on the small cake. “I just don’t want humans to know of my existence. Those who aren’t of my kind have different agendas; I understand that much.”

“Targeting you doesn’t do me any good,” Ji Mo An sighed.

“Oh, oh,” Xuan Bai indicated that he heard him.

“We can talk,” Ji Mo An conceded a step. He had no understanding of this Xuan Bai, who was either a snake or a human.

People are always somewhat afraid of the unknown.

“I don’t know how I got here either,” Xuan Bai harrumphed. “As soon as I opened my eyes, I was already in your garage. If I hadn’t been quick-witted, I would have been dragged into the net by that smelly old man and captured.”

“Likewise, I don’t know how to go back. So don’t you think I’m pitiful?” Xuan Bai was justified again.

“Pitiful?” Ji Mo An was a little incredulous. This snake, who had just threatened to let him reincarnate, was now telling him that he was pitiful.

He was the one who should be considered pitiful.

“Yes,” Xuan Bai’s skin was as thick as his snake skin. “I came here all alone, didn’t know anyone, didn’t have a communicator, didn’t have money, and had to be locked in that small box, starving.”

“So, I only know you now. Before I leave, I have to be with you,” Xuan Bai concluded.

“You…” Ji Mo An was really shocked by his thick skin.

“Um… I know, you humans value reciprocity. You help me, and I’ll help you. I think it wouldn’t be a problem for me to take over your Special Assistant’s position,” Xuan Bai was very generous.

“…That’s not how that saying is used,” Ji Mo An couldn’t help but retort.

“Do you have top-level academic qualifications?”

“What’s that?” Xuan Bai didn’t understand.

“Do you have experience leading people on projects?” Ji Mo An continued to ask.

“No.” Xuan Bai shook his head; snake-snake doesn’t lead people, snake-snake only kills players.

“Do you have any understanding of my company?”

“The one that sells stones?” Xuan Bai blinked.

“…” Ji Mo An expressed his displeasure with silence.

“Then what do you think I can do?” Xuan Bai asked in return.

“A pet,” Ji Mo An answered in a heartbeat. Someone who didn’t know anything could only be a mascot.

“Okay~” Xuan Bai was a little regretful about the result. “It’s not a bad thing either, then let’s have a happy cooperation.”

“…” Wait… how did he agree…

Ji Mo An blankly savored the conversation just now, but didn’t see a hint of cunning flashing in the other man’s eyes.

A little insignificant hint, Xuan Bai lowered his eyes and slowly licked the last drop of cream off the fork.

—–

“President Ji, who is this…?” Special Assistant Bai, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally couldn’t help but ask.

“The model my mother chose,” Ji Mo An casually found an excuse for Xuan Bai’s identity.

“Hello, hello,” Special Assistant Bai opened the car door with great tact.

“Get in the car,” Ji Mo An motioned for Xuan Bai to get in the car first.

What ‘hello,’ this bad snake just wanted to steal your position.

“President Ji, are we going back to the company?” Special Assistant Bai carefully asked. A few hours ago, his boss suddenly asked him to book a Western restaurant and then drive to a clothing store to pick someone up, and then led a man out in less than twenty minutes.

Then he pushed back the trip to the suburbs this afternoon and broke the appointment temporarily. This didn’t seem like something Ji Mo An would do.

“Go back to 1601, he’s back from abroad and doesn’t have any acquaintances in the country,” Ji Mo An instructed.

“Okay, President Ji.” Special Assistant Bai glanced at Xuan Bai, who was looking out the window, and secretly praised the madam’s eye for choosing people.

There weren’t many who could grow up to look like that, it must be ridiculously expensive, no wonder the madam hurriedly bought a ticket to Iceland in the middle of the night.

But he didn’t have much of an impression of this model. Logically speaking, with this face and body, it was impossible to be mediocre in the modeling industry…

“Amateur, never been on stage, doesn’t know anything, find some time to let him learn,” Ji Mo An saw that Special Assistant Bai was thinking this and that, but it seemed not bad, Xuan Bai’s appearance was indeed outstanding, it was a bit of a loss to keep him around for nothing.

“Okay, President Ji. Then I’ll contact the training, do I need to prepare a place for him to live?”

“No, I’ll take him there. I’ll arrange his affairs these few days.” To be honest, Ji Mo An wasn’t too worried about Special Assistant Bai’s personal safety.

“Okay.” Special Assistant Bai shut his mouth, but his doubts about Xuan Bai were even greater in his heart.

But as a qualified employee, he would never ask if the boss didn’t say anything.

[Bai: 1]

[Bai: President Ji brought back a hunk, said he was an amateur model, any reliable information? @Emily]

[Emily: ?]

[Emily: How handsome is he?]

[Bai: Stunningly handsome! Long hair, doesn’t talk much, not sure if he’s mixed race or a foreigner.]

[Emily: Wow, kaka, need photos!]

Very good, he couldn’t rely on the secretarial department.

Special Assistant Bai coldly and ruthlessly closed the group chat that was being spammed.

Damn, he was getting more and more curious!

Enter the house, lock the door.

Ji Mo An was about to talk to Xuan Bai again when he suddenly saw the space behind him empty.

Clatter, a complete set of clothes fell on the floor, and a small black snake crawled out of the collar.

It easily swam across the entryway, climbed onto the cabinet, skillfully used its head to nudge it, and the whole snake slid into the terrarium.

“…” You really don’t act like a stranger.

Ji Mo An stood in front of the terrarium, a little speechless as he looked at the small snake hanging itself on the roots of the tree.

“Are you… a snake that cultivated into a spirit and then sought Bestowal?” He considered his words.

Without knowing when, Ji Mo An was no longer afraid.

What Xuan Bai said was scary, but he hadn’t really done anything to him.

“I’m not a snake spirit, I’ve seen a lot of humans,” Xuan Bai was full, and he didn’t mind chatting with humans.

“I don’t like them, and they don’t like me either.”

“You don’t seem to hate me very much,” Ji Mo An wasn’t in the mood to work, so he simply pulled up a chair and sat next to the terrarium.

“It’s different.”

“I think we can draft a contract.”

“Contract?”

“Clarify the boundaries between the two parties to avoid conflicts in the future,” Ji Mo An spoke euphemistically. He was actually afraid that Xuan Bai would transform into a big live snake in public.

He was still young and didn’t want to be trending.

“Whatever you want,” Xuan Bai wagged his tail. “If you want to draw up a contract, I have no objections.”

“Okay, don’t run around,” Ji Mo An almost couldn’t wait to hide in the study, where he stayed for an entire afternoon.

When he came out again, the sun, which had been suspended high in the sky, had already set.

The living room was not lit, and it seemed a little dark.

Because of Xuan Bai, he had given the cook a day off, and he had no intention of cooking for himself.

Click.

When the lights filled the living room again, Ji Mo An’s first instinct was to look for the small snake in the terrarium.

Nothing…

At least not in the areas not covered by leaves. The terrarium was too big, and Xuan Bai might have hidden in a corner.

Ji Mo An decided to find Xuan Bai first and then determine whether it was appropriate to order food.

After all, he didn’t want the creature that opened the door to receive the food to be a snake.

Unfortunately, nothing. He even used a brush to lift the soil, but still didn’t see the black figure.

“Found it?”

“No.” Ji Mo An began to rummage through the leaves for the second time.

“Not in the box~”

“Ran away again…” Ji Mo An was halfway through when he suddenly reacted. He turned around and saw the snake he had been looking for for a quarter of an hour lying on the sofa, tilting its head to look at him.

Xuan Bai had transformed back into human form and put on the clothes he had worn at noon. One leg was resting on the floor along the sofa, and the other was hanging on the armrest, with his entire upper body lying flat on the cushion of the sofa.

He was too quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing was absent, easily overlooked.

“Didn’t I tell you not to run around?” Ji Mo An was a little unhappy.

“That place is so boring, and I’m studying,” Xuan Bai retorted.

“Studying?” Ji Mo An was stunned, he did see a book lying open on Xuan Bai’s body.

“What are you studying?” He walked over.

Xuan Bai, who was completely in human form, had no scales, and his golden vertical pupils had also turned into shallow amber-colored round pupils.

He seemed no different from a real human being.

“I’m looking at the dictionary,” Xuan Bai picked up the thick book and flipped through a few pages casually.

“And this one. I don’t know why, I recognize those words when they’re separated, but when they’re put together, they’re a bit obscure and difficult to understand,” Xuan Bai showed a troubled expression. “So I’m looking up the dictionary.”

Obscure and difficult to understand?

There were indeed many books about finance and law on the bookshelf in his living room, and it was difficult for people who had not studied professional knowledge to understand them.

Ji Mo An took the other book that Xuan Bai handed over, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat the moment he saw the name.

《The CEO’s Love: The Runaway Bride’s Ninety-Ninth Escape》
