Who Stole My Eggs? - Chapter 100
At first, the little snake was extremely angry. This good brother of his was so shameless; even though he told him that his father only loved his daddy, he shamelessly seduced his father and even dared to disguise himself as his daddy to confuse him!
Just when the little snake was about to rush out to teach Xie Zuo a lesson, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, illuminating everything.
Wait! The little snake’s head slowly retracted into the crack of the door, as if he had discovered an incredible truth.
Xiao Hei…
Xiao Hei’s kindness to him, his defence of his daddy in words, the strange feeling between Xiao Hei and his father, and his father’s acceptance of Xiao Hei…
All the events of the past few days intertwined in the little snake’s mind, and everything pointed to one result: Xiao Hei was not his brother Xiao Hei, but his careless and ruthless good of nothing daddy!
The little snake fled in embarrassment, leaving a crooked water trail on the ground.
It was too much; it was really too much. It was okay for his daddy to abandon him, but he still wanted to deceive him and play with him after he had already found him… This world was too scary; he didn’t believe it anymore. He didn’t want it!
The little snake returned to his room and huddled in the corner in frustration. Woohoo, he hated it all!
Why didn’t his daddy want him? Why couldn’t his daddy recognize him? He really only liked the lazy second child! The second child was obviously a weakling. He did nothing but sleep. He was the one who had been accompanying his father and daddy all the time, and it was he who wanted to save daddy…
He hadn’t cried when his daddy knocked him off the cliff. He hadn’t cried when he was beaten all over by the waves. When he saw his father descending from the sky to rescue him, he had tried his best to smile at him before passing out. What a sensible and warm-hearted baby he was.
The more the little snake thought about it, the sadder he became, and he buried his head and cried loudly.
In the next room, Xie Zuo pushed Huo Yao away. “Did you hear the sound of the little snake?”
Huo Yao couldn’t care about anything else. “No, don’t move.”
“He seems to be crying; I have to go take a look!”
Huo Yao would definitely not agree with wanting to see the child at this time. Two flashes of lightning illuminated the room, and Xie Zuo’s hands were firmly bound by lightning.
Huo Yao patted his face with satisfaction. “That’s pretty much it. Don’t worry about him. There are barriers everywhere here. He has the protective spell I set on him and is absolutely safe.”
“Crying doesn’t mean there’s danger; it could be fear or something. Let me go!”
“Won’t let go.”
The little snake cried for a long time and then grew tired. His crying turned into low sobbing, which sounded very pitiful.
He rested for a while, calmed down, climbed back into bed, and packed his things.
After packing a few of his favourite things, he picked up his baggage and started walking out.
He was redundant in this family. He was leaving and never coming back.
The little snake slowly crawled out of the room, then looked back at his father’s bedroom, expecting the door to suddenly open and for his parents to cry and confess in front of him, praying that he would not leave them; this family could not live without him.
However, it was just his delusion after all. The door remained closed; no one knew he was so sad, and no one knew he was leaving.
The little snake left decisively.
Turning into the dark corridor, the little snake paused for a moment; he was a little scared.
No, he couldn’t be so cowardly; he had to get out!
The little snake crawled at full speed. As long as he was fast enough, fear could not catch up with him.
A tentacle suddenly stretched out from the dark corner and grabbed him instantly.
The little snake’s nerves were already tense, and when it touched something strange, he immediately screamed.
Another tentacle covered his mouth. “My eldest nephew, it’s me, your uncle.”
It was Wu Xiao. The little snake calmed down and looked at the mini squid beside him. “Why are you here? You’d better leave quickly; father will kill you if he sees you.”
Wu Xiao was touched for a moment. His eldest nephew, whom he had never met before, still remembered him and didn’t dislike him since he was still an egg!
Wu Xiao’s dignity did not allow him to tell the truth. Even if he was kicked out, he still had to stay with his heavenly father. It would be too embarrassing to confess in front of the younger generation.
Wu Xiao cleared his throat. “I came back because I was worried about you. Where are you going with your baggage at night?”
The little snake lowered his head in embarrassment.
Wu Xiao looked at the little snake sympathetically, then several tentacles rolled him up and took him to the yard.
The nights in the Asura world were always extremely dark, and the moonlight was also extremely cold. At this time, it was a lively time outside the palace, and faint laughter could be heard, making the place feel even lonelier.
Wu Xiao placed the little snake on a huge flower, jumped on it himself, and whispered, “You’re not running away from home, are you?”
The little snake didn’t answer but asked, “Do you know who my good brother Xiao Hei is?”
“Of course I know; he’s your biological mother.” Wu Xiao had run back without stopping after being thrown out that day. He had been hiding in a dark corner these days and knew everything.
The fact that the guess came out lightly from other people’s mouths, made the little snake’s heart shatter. “I’ve had enough of them! No one cares about me; they all lied to me…!”
The little snake couldn’t help but dump all his sadness on Wu Xiao. “…I won’t forgive him. When I grow up, I will beat my stinky brother to death!”
Wu Xiao hugged him pitifully. How could this nephew be as unlucky as him?
“Listen to me, eldest nephew,” Wu Xiao decided not to let the little snake go his own way; otherwise, he would be in big trouble! “You must not leave at this time. Wouldn’t it be cheaper for them if you left?”
“I don’t need their pity!” cried the little snake.
Wu Xiao’s tentacles gently stroked the big head of the little snake. “I have to tell you something. You really misunderstood your daddy…”
Wu Xiao started from Xie Zuo being deceived about being pregnant, to Xie Zuo accidentally injuring the little snake, and then to his regret and search for the little snake in the sky and the earth. His words were extremely provocative, capable of shocking those who listened and making those who heard them cry.
The little snake had tears in his eyes. “Really? Daddy has really been looking for me?”
“I’ve been with him the whole time. It’s absolutely true! He only cares about you. He didn’t even take care of the second child. Who knows where he lost it!”
The little snake hesitated. “But why doesn’t he recognize me and still lies to me?”
“It’s not that he doesn’t admit it; he definitely doesn’t dare to admit it because he’s afraid you won’t be able to accept it for a while.” Wu Xiao, who had always had his own way of doing things, seemed to see his former self in the little snake. He must not let the little snake make the same mistake as him.
“You must not leave. If you leave, won’t you get a disadvantage? Your stupid daddy forcefully breaks into the Asura world to find you. He pretended to be your little brother and carefully stayed by your side for you. This is not enough love? What happened before was just an accident, a misunderstanding!”
“Don’t insult my daddy,” the little snake began to waver. “…It would be too embarrassing for me to go back like this!”
“It’s not a shame,” Wu Xiao’s voice lowered. “No one will see this; let’s go back quietly.”
The little snake’s heart shook. Indeed, if he walked away like this, wouldn’t that idiot, the second child, just sit back and win all the love?
Wu Xiao added more fuel to the fire. “Eldest nephew, I am also a member of this family. Don’t leave me behind. I want to go back with you.”
The little snake raised his head and looked at Wu Xiao sympathetically. The uncle was so pitiful. He was so old and had no fixed place to live. He was hiding here and there and had no dignity. He couldn’t be so selfish; his uncle was very kind to him, and he had to let his uncle have a family to return to.
The little snake nodded solemnly. “Okay, come with me. You can stay here peacefully. I will tell my father tomorrow that you are a member of the family and that he can no longer drive you away.”
Wu Xiao was ecstatic in his heart and tried to calm down. “Thank you, eldest nephew. This uncle’s love for you is really not in vain.”
After finalizing the big deal, the little snake felt that the moonlight was very beautiful. He leaned on Wu Xiao and quietly enjoyed the night view.
Wu Xiao stretched out a tentacle and shook the flower gently, as if pushing a cradle. Gradually, the little snake closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
