Chapter 155: Bitten by a Snake While Bathing
Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru returned home, and in the refreshing summer day, Song Xiaodong took a shower in the simple outdoor shower, humming a tune, truly feeling an indescribable sense of comfort.
Song Xiaoru, on the other hand, sat on a small chair in the courtyard, washing the clothes the two had just changed out of.
After finishing with the laundry, Song Xiaoru, while hanging the clothes on the clothesline, said, "Dongzi, we’ve lived here for so long, and now we have to move, I suddenly can’t bear to leave."
Sticking his head out, Song Xiaodong replied, "That’s because you’ve gotten used to living here, after all, we’ve been here for almost twenty years."
"Yes, but when I think about moving into such a beautiful new house, I get excited and look forward to it, so my feelings are quite conflicted."
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "No worries, let’s just keep this house, and if we miss it later, we can come back to stay or stop by to chat with the old neighbors."
"Hmm, I think so too, I’ve gotten used to life here, suddenly moving there, without knowing anyone, I’m afraid I’ll face a lot of restrictions."
"No worries, in a few days, you’ll know everyone, Sister, I’m done, it’s your turn." Song Xiaodong came out wearing only a pair of large shorts.
While Song Xiaoru showered, Song Xiaodong casually flipped through his phone on a lounge chair in the courtyard. Perhaps as Song Xiaoru said, the new house might be luxurious, but it might not have the same warmth and comfort as this little home.
"Ah!" Xiaoru’s sudden scream startled Song Xiaodong, and he quickly rushed to the wooden partition of the shower, asking anxiously, "Sister, what’s wrong?"
"I... I think something bit me, ah, it’s a small snake, my leg feels a bit numb."
Song Xiaodong promptly pushed the door open and saw Song Xiaoru squatting on the ground, covering her calf, and the brightly colored little snake had not yet completely slipped away.
