Wen Qian and the Little Black Snake lived together for a long time. During this period, the number of animals that engineered run-ins with her gradually decreased.
But Wen Qian didn't mind. She figured those other animals would eventually leave her, unlike A Mian. Losing him and getting him back twice made her feel as if it were destiny.
Having experienced so many partings, her feelings for the Little Black Snake were more than just friendship.
She relied on him, and she trusted him.
These happy days continued for a long time, until her adoptive parents, who had been on a business trip for over half a year, suddenly returned.
Her adoptive father happened upon Wen Qian and the Little Black Snake playing together, but he said nothing, only affectionately stroking her head.
The Little Black Snake seemed very unhappy. He reared up in front of Wen Qian, on high alert as he faced her adoptive father. No matter how Wen Qian tried to persuade him, he refused to retract his sharp fangs.
