Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Little Fatty said proudly to the other children, “Feel it. There must be a lot of gummy candy inside!”

The children couldn’t wait to eat the candy.

“I’ll get it for you. What do you want to eat? I’ll find it for you!”

Little Fatty took the liberty of opening the bag and reached in to grab the candy.

Xiao Hua was sleeping soundly in the bag when it was caught and taken out.

It propped its head up and looked at Little Fatty in confusion.

“Ah… there’s a snake… a snake…”

Little Fatty was so scared that he forgot to let go and even wet his pants.

The children who had touched the bag were so frightened that they hid far away. They looked at their hands and did not know what to do.

A few timid ones began to cry.

Xie Chaochao was woken up by the noise and her mood worsened. “Shut up!”

The classroom immediately fell silent.

Xie Chaochao impatiently took the bag and the little flower snake away from Little Fatty’s hands and sat back down.

The little flower snake crawled along Xie Chaochao’s arm and up to her neck. It coiled into a circle and continued sleeping.

Little Fatty and the rest looked at Xie Chaochao as though they had seen a ghost.

Sun Limin entered the classroom and saw this scene.

“Little Fatty, how could you just casually go through Xie Chaochao’s bag?”

“And you guys, you will stand at the back of the classroom for this lesson as punishment!”

Xie Chaochao looked over. She saw Little Fatty and the rest frantically running to the back.

Sun Limin felt that it was good to have Xie Chaochao around. These children had become obedient.

Little Fatty pointed at Xie Chaochao’s neck with a trembling finger. “T-Teacher, she… a snake…”

Only then did Sun Limin notice the little flower snake hanging around Xie Chaochao’s neck. Her face turned pale as she tried her best to control herself from screaming like Little Fatty.

“That… Xie Chaochao, this…”

She took a few steps back and pointed at the little flower snake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xie Chaochao pulled the little flower snake down and held it in her hand. “Teacher, this is Xiao Hua. It doesn’t bite. My father took away all the snacks. It is all I am left with.”

As she spoke, the little girl still felt very wronged and she sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

Seeing how obedient the little flower snake was in her hands, Sun Limin heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Xie Chaochao. Our school is a place for lessons. X-Xiao Hua isn’t suitable to stay here…”

“Boohoo… I don’t want to be separated from Xiao Hua. I only have Xiao Hua left…”

Xie Chaochao suddenly burst into tears. Her pitiful look made one’s heart ache.

Sun Limin’s heart softened. “Alright, alright. You won’t be separated. You take Xiao Hua to class with you! We won’t chase it away!”

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Xie Chaochao immediately stopped crying and thanked Sun Limin tearfully. This scene would make one’s heart melt.

“Teacher, Xiao Hua is very obedient. Touch it!”

Sun Limin squinted her eyes as she looked at the little flower snake that was suddenly lifted up in front of her.

Due to Xie Chaochao’s look of anticipation, she could only reach out her hand in trepidation.

She touched Xiao Hua’s head.

Little Fatty shouted from behind, “Teacher, does it really not bite?”

Sun Limin was relieved. “It doesn’t bite, don’t be afraid!”

As she spoke, she touched it again. It felt pretty good.

Looking at Little Fatty’s wet pants, she could only bring him to change his pants.

When they came back, the children who were punished all gathered around Xie Chaochao and fought to touch the little flower snake.

Xie Chaochao just threw the little flower snake to them.

As the first person to touch the little flower snake, Little Fatty immediately joined the “Snake Touching Conference” after changing into a new pair of pants.

Sun Limin looked at the children who were playing with the snake and turned around to leave.

She’d better wash Little Fatty’s pants!

Xie Chaochao was very happy to see her little friend being liked by everyone.

Since they liked Xiao Hua, they’d surely like Xiao Jinmao and Xiao Hu.

“I’ll bring them over tomorrow, too, to play with everyone.”

Xie Chaochao suddenly felt that going to school wasn’t that tough.
