"What?" Yan Huan was startled by his sudden shout, her whole body stiffening up. "Wh... what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Just don't move." Cheng Yue, afraid of scaring Yan Huan, didn't tell her the truth. He just crouched down, his eyes fixed on a snake flicking its tongue beside Yan Huan's leg, preparing to grab it by its seven-inch point.
"Cheng Yue, is there something there?" Seeing his demeanor, Yan Huan could already guess about seventy or eighty percent of the situation. "Is it... a snake?"
"Yes. Don't be afraid!" Just as Cheng Yue spoke, he saw Yan Huan's calf tremble violently, and the snake's body coiled and pounced towards her leg.
Cheng Yue quickly reached out to grab the snake, but his movements were still a bit slow.
The snake bit down hard on Yan Huan's calf through the thin pants.
"Ah!" The piercing pain shot through her, causing Yan Huan to cry out, tears nearly welling up in her eyes.
