TN: Thank you elexis-h for the ko-fi and well wishes.

Unfortunately I don’t have any extra chapters stocked up. But I will be trying a tentative schedule of a chapter every monday and thursday. Thank you everyone for the continued support!!

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng stood in the elevator, one raised their eyebrow and the other was guilty.

The one who raised his eyebrows was obviously Han Cheng, who didn’t expect to see such a scene right after arriving. The one who was guilty was Shen Qingshu who didn’t understand why he felt guilty.

“Why are you here?” Shen Qingshu asked curiously.

“How can I see this good play if I don’t come?” Han Cheng looked at him. “This is what you mean in your daily reports of nothing happening?”

“It’s really nothing. Although she likes to create conflict, at present there has been nothing major. I’ve solved them all, so it’s really nothing”

“Really?” Han Cheng didn’t believe it. “If you have solved it, will people still block you at the elevator entrance?”

“I’ve solved it all, so she is not reconciled and blocked me at the elevator entrance. Otherwise, she would currently be lovey dovey with her boyfriend right now. How can she have time to care about me?”

The elevator door opened and Shen Qingshu walked out when his mobile phone vibrated. He took it out and checked. It was Zhou Jianming.

Zhou Jianming: [Su Luo has left. Please ask Han Shao to come down. I’ll take him to rest first. You go to thank Bai Xuege.]

Shen Qingshu turned his head and looked at Han Cheng. “Go down, she’s gone. Zhou ge is waiting for you downstairs and will take you to rest.”

“And you?” Han Cheng asked.

“I still have something to do. I’ll go down and find you when I’m done.”

“What thing?”

“Previously a colleague helped me, so I went to say thank you. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.”

Han Cheng’s vigilance immediately went online, “Helped you? Man or woman? Why did they help you?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu thinks that his driver is good in all aspects, but he really lacks confidence in himself!

He always thinks others are about to run away!

“Male, a child, only 17 years old. He helped me because while he was busy these days, I helped him keep a pet for a few days. Is that ok?”

“Since when were you so enthusiastic? You even help others look after their pet? What kind of pet?” Han Cheng is curious.

Shen Qingshu stretched out his hand and exposed the small white snake wrapped around his wrist.

Han Cheng looked at her in shock. After a while, he slowly approached his wrist and stared with Xiao Qi’s pair of eyes. You look at me and I look at you.

“This is really a different kind of little pet!”

“Right.” Shen Qingshu also thought so, “But the snake is very good and has taken a liking to me, so I helped raise her for a few days. I was on my way to take her to her owner.”

“So that’s the reason the woman before was screaming about snakes?”

Shen Qingshu nodded.

Han Cheng took a serious look at the quiet little white snake in front of him. “Why is this snake so obedient now? From what I know, shouldn’t this be a very fierce breed?”

Shen Qingshu proudly raised his head, “Maybe it’s because I’m Xu Xian.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng looks at his proud little appearance. Well, it’s not enough for him to cheat in fiction. He wants to cross the boundary of race and partake in love between humans and animals!

Awesome, the modern version of the White Snake, waiting for a thousand years!

“I don’t think so.” Han Cheng smiled and said, “Let me see, it’s probably because you’re Xiao Qing1 that she is more gentle to you. What do you say, Bai Niang’s 2 good sister?”

Didn’t you want to change my gender? I can do it too!

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu didn’t expect such an explanation.

“I’m a man.” He stressed.

“After so many years of reincarnation, gender can change, but the soul can’t change. Look, didn’t your Bai jie take only one look and recognise you?”

Shen Qingshu stared at him angrily. “You’re so annoying. Go back quickly.”

“Why, so you can cultivate with the white lady?”

“If that were the case, wait until I succeed in cultivation and eat you in one bite.”

“Why wait so long?” Han Cheng looked at him. “You can eat me now. I won’t hide. Xiao Qing, you can eat all you want, if you want to eat the top, eat the top. If you want to eat below…”

Shen Qingshu covered his mouth with his hand, “There’s no road for you to drive here!”

Han Cheng kissed his palm and pulled his hand down. “Nothing is impossible. As long as there are people who want to drive, there will be a road.”

“Bah!” Shen Qingshu spluttered with shame, “You simply want to infuriate teacher Lu Xun to death.”

“How can it be? I’ve always admired teacher Lu Xun.”

Is that how you admire someone? Teacher can’t afford it!

Shen Qingshu snorted and withdrew his hand. “Go back quickly and don’t affect my work.”

“Your work is to go home with the white lady to meet her father?” Han Cheng said and looked at Xiao Qi with disgust.

Xiao Qi immediately retracted her small head and was wronged.

“Can’t I?” Shen Qingshu asked in reply.

“Okay,” Han Cheng nodded. “Next time I come over, I’ll bring along a portion of Leifeng Tower3. Just right to cage you inside.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

People officer?4

“Aren’t you too cruel?”

“I’m helping you escape the thunder tribulation and succeed in ascending to the heavens sooner. Isn’t that kind of me?”

Shen Qingshu: …

“Are you Fahai?” 5 

“Isn’t that a good pair with you?” Han Cheng patted him on the shoulder. “Go, Xiao Qing, go to see father with your sister. Don’t forget to help me ask how the seniors’ health is.”

Shen Qingshu:… He is only seventeen years old. What senior!

Shen Qingshu turned around and walked to Bai Xuege’s room.

Han Cheng looked at his back and smiled. Then he turned and entered the elevator.

Bai Xuege was quite surprised to see his arrival.

“What can I do for you?” He asked Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu went in, took down the little white snake on his wrist and put it in front of Bai xuege. “I’m here to thank you and bring Xiao Qi over for you to see. This time I owe you one, otherwise I would still be reciting new lines now. Thank you.”

Bai Xuege looks at his little daughter who ran away from home. Fortunately, she is still as beautiful as before. It seems that her boyfriend raised her very well.

“It’s nothing.” He waved his hand. “You are my daughter’s husband. Naturally, I will help you.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise with a frightened look on his face, “Daughter … daughter what?”

“Oh,” Bai Xuege thought, “To be exact, you are my future son-in-law.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? ?

“May I ask what’s going on?”

Bai Xuege pointed to his little daughter, “This is my daughter, and you are her love, so aren’t you my future son-in-law?”

F*ck, it’s really the tale of the white snake!

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise and at the clever Xiao Qi on the table. Finally, he looked at him again reluctantly, “But I’m human.”

I don’t want to be Xu Xian!

“Have you heard of the legend of the white snake?” Bai Xuege is concise and to the point.

Shen Qingshu looked at the young white snake in front of him. “Won’t it take at least a thousand years to cultivate it into human form?”

“Don’t you know of adopting into the family before marriage?” Bai Xuege said.

Shen Qingshu: …

Qin Yingyang sitting aside: …

He actually said this to Shen Qingshu. How on earth did he do it? How could he be so shameless?!

Shen Qingshu digested it for ten seconds before he finally fully digested it. He refused the good intentions. “Forget it. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we have to abide by the official code of conduct. As a good citizen who abides by the law, I think we still live our own lives. I live my human life and she lives her snake life. The two don’t interfere and each is happier for it. This is the best for both of us.”

Bai xuege understood, “You dislike her.”

“No, no, how can I dislike her? We… different races can’t fall in love!”

“Love is never bound by race.”

“I can’t. I’m too superficial. I’m particularly bound by race.”

Bai Xuege is a little embarrassed.

“And I only think of her as a friend.” Shen Qingshu sends out a friend card without hesitation.

Give up, teacher Xiao Bai, or your daughter will be trapped by the Leifeng Tower!

Han Cheng, that old driver, he can really do it!

Xiao Qi is still a child!

How can this be done!

Bai Xuege sighed and looked regretful.

“Well, although the falling flowers have the intention, since your running water is ruthless,6  I won’t embarrass you. You two will be friends in the future.”

Shen Qingshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Friends are good, friends are good, how good is friendship. “Yes, thank you, teacher Xiao Bai.”

“Don’t be so polite. Since you are her friend, you can call me uncle in the future.”

Shen Qingshu: …

Qin Yingyang, who sat on one side. Looked up at the sky speechlessly: …

“Can I change the way I address you?” Shen Qingshu asked.

“Do you want to be like Xiao Qi and call me dad?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Bai Xuege thought, “Or you can call me ge.”7

Shen Qingshu almost responded with a conditioned reflex: “Then you call me Shu.” 8

This time it’s Bai Xuege’s turn to be silent.

He has grown to this age and has always won in terms of name. unexpectedly he met someone who could best him now. Well, Shen Qingshu didn’t call him dad, yet he has to call Shen Qingshu uncle. How can this work?

“It’s better for you to call me teacher Xiaobai.” Bai Xuege said.

Shen Qingshu nodded, “Yes teacher Xiaobai.”

He talked with Bai Xuege for a while. Concerned about Han Cheng, he got ready to go back.

Xiao Qi left home for two days. The moment she saw her old father, without further ado she entangled around Bai Xuege’s hand. Shen Qingshu didn’t intend to interrupt them, saying, “I’ll bring the incubator up later.”

“Okay.” Bai xuege said, “we’ve troubled you these two days.”

“No trouble.” Shen Qingshu said, stood up and walked towards the door.

He had just returned to his room and was about to ask Xiao Li to send the incubator up. When he heard a sudden knock on the door, he turned back and opened the door.

Outside the door stood the crew, Su Luo, Sun Xuan and Su Luo’s assistant.

“That’s him. He’s raising a snake within the set and ordered his snake to bite me.” Su Luo accused.

The crew helplessly looked at Shen Qingshu and advised him with their eyes, “Xiao Shen, where’s your snake? Give it to Su jie and then apologise to Su jie.”

“Yes.” Sun Xuan echoed, “What kind of normal person owns a snake? Shen Qingshu, aren’t you a psychopath?”

Shen Qingshu heard the speech and immediately pretended to be embarrassed, “I… how about I send it away quietly?”

“Murderers need to pay with their lives, while after scaring people, you only send away the snake. It’s already scared Su Luo and you still want to send it away quietly. Do you think this is allowable?” Sun Xuan spoke rudely.

Shen Qingshu hesitated, “But it’s already gone. Even if I want to give it to Su jie, there is no way to.”

Sun Xuan didn’t believe it. Promptly pushing him away, he strode into the room to find the snake.

Shen Qingshu continued acting behind him, “During a moment of inattention she disappeared. I searched everywhere and couldn’t find it. Ah, hopefully she didn’t go upstairs to teacher Xiao Bai’s floor. Teacher Xiao Bai is still a child. If he saw her, maybe he would be scared to death. No, I have to find her quickly.”

Shen Qingshu said this and hurried out. Su Luo signalled at her assistant. The assistant hurriedly rushed to the elevator.

When Han Cheng and Zhou Jianming heard the news and opened the door, they saw Shen Qingshu anxiously rushing away with others.

“What’s going on?” Han Cheng grabbed him.

“Putting on a show.” Shen Qingshu leaned close to him and whispered.

Han Cheng was puzzled.

Shen Qingshu grabbed him with his backhand and hurried forward. “In order to celebrate your arrival, I decided to invite you to watch a play for free. The protagonist is your precious little supercar, the director is your beloved little supercar, and the screenwriter is your favourite little supercar.”

Han Cheng: ? ? ?

“Who allowed you to add these attributes to yourself without permission?”

“Of course, your talented little supercar.”

Han Cheng: …

Shen Qingshu pulled him into the elevator and pretended to be anxious. “I don’t dare to go to teacher Xiao Bai, otherwise I’ll be dead if I scare him.”

Han Cheng: … Is this the beginning? Didn’t he get into the role too quickly?

Worthy of his little supercar!

Su Luo snorted and thought, then you’re dead!

Bai Xuege played with Xiao Qi for a while. Hearing the knock on the door, he thought it was Shen Qingshu’s assistant sending over the incubator. As soon as he opened the door, he found that it was a group made of Sun Xuan, Su Luo and Su Luo’s assistant.

“What do you want?” he asked

“Xiaobai, you are here…”

“Ah!” Suro screamed, “There!”

She pointed to Xiao Qi, whose small head could be seen over the cabinet not far away, “It’s here!”

Sun Xuan swooped forward like an arrow and walked over to grab Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi quickly retreated further away. Sun Xuan followed it and tried hard to catch her.

Bai Xuege looked at him suspiciously, “What are you doing?”

“Xiao Bai, don’t be afraid. I’ll help you catch this snake now! Shen Qingshu that psycho. Who does he think he is to raise snakes? Even bringing them into the crew? He’s acting so arrogant and not knowing his place. This snake came to you when he took his eyes off it. Such a disgusting thing, did it scare you?”

Bai Xuege: ! ! !

What did he say?

Only psychos will keep snakes ? !

What is a disgusting thing!

He is disgusting!

Bai Xuege grinded his teeth.

Su Luo’s assistant was also unwilling to show weakness, and quickly added, “Teacher Xiao Bai, you don’t know that Shen Qingshu has many deep thoughts. Just at the entrance of the elevator, he also ordered the snake to bite Su jie. If Su jie didn’t react quickly, she would be in hospital now! I say, there is nothing good about snake keepers, only those who are not in their right mind will keep such abnormal pets.”

Bai xuege: ! ! ! !

You’re not a good thing!

You’re not right!

You’re not normal!

Su Luo took the opportunity to deal more damage, “Xuege ge, look, you helped him before yet he couldn’t wait to sneak his snake into your room. Does more need to be said about his wicked mind?”

“Tell me about it and let me understand.” Bai Xuege said through gritted teeth.

“He must have designed it on purpose, so that at that time, he can suddenly appear when you are in a panic, like a hero saving the beauty. Then make you be indebted to him. Otherwise, how can this snake appear here all of a sudden? It must be on purpose. I saw him coming out with this snake at the entrance of the elevator. At that time I didn’t know what nefarious thoughts he was having.”

Bai Xuege: …

“Don’t worry, Xiaobai. I’ll help you catch him. Then let the chef of the crew work hard to make a snake soup and see if Shen Qingshu dares next time.”

Bai Xuege: ! ! ! ! !

You still want to make snake soup! Why don’t you eat human flesh?!

Bai Xuege was about to explode from anger. Shen Qingshu saw that this should be enough, so he pretended to be anxious and came in from the door and joined the scuffle.

Han Cheng also followed in and watched the masterpiece to welcome his arrival from a closer distance.

Shen Qingshu went to the sofa, knocked on the floor and called, “Xiao Qi.”

Xiao Qi heard the familiar voice and climbed out slowly, sticking out her little head.

Sun Xuan sneered, “Don’t bother. It’s too late to hide it at this time!”

“Yes,” said Su Luo’s assistant Tucao added on, “Send away Xiao Qi? Think you’re the Calabash brothers?”

It’s actually the seven dwarfs! Bai Xuege retorted in his heart.

Shen Qingshu picked up Xiao Qi and walked to Bai Xuege. He winked at him and said, “Sorry, teacher Xiao Bai, my pet ran over to you when I was inattentive.”

“No problem.” Bai Xuege was very cooperative and said with a gentle smile, “As long as you found it.”

“You did it on purpose!” Su Luo argued, “Xuege ge, you see, this is what I’m trying to warn you about. Don’t be cheated by him.”

Bai Xuege nodded.

Seeing this, Suluo was secretly happy. As long as Bai Xuege hated Shen Qingshu because of this issue, it was not impossible for her to play tricks later.

“Shen Qingshu, you really don’t know what’s right or wrong. Xuege ge helped you on the front foot and on the back foot you designed to harm him. Are you worthy of Xuege ge’s sentiment?”

“I didn’t.” Shen Qingshu looked weak and pitiful, “Teacher Xiao Bai, please believe me.”

“What please believe me? Are you a white lotus?” Su Luo quipped. As long as Bai Xuege is not stupid, how can he believe this?

Shen Qingshu, you are done for this time!

Su Luo smiled proudly. Then she heard Bai Xuege say, “I believe you.”

Su Luo: En, I knew it. Wait.

She looked at Bai Xuege in disbelief. What did you say? You believe it?! What do you believe? Didn’t you listen to what I just said?

Did I say all that for nothing?!

“Brother Xuege, what are you talking about?”

Bai Xuege looked at her with a simple face. “What kind of wicked heart can pet owners have? Pets are the companions of humans. So I believe he must be a good person.”

“He keeps snakes!” Su Luo stressed, “Xuege ge, this is not an ordinary pet.it’s a snake that is the most disgusting type in the pet industry!”

“You’re disgusting!” Bai Xuege angrily retorted, “Su jie, how can you talk like that ? ! This is clearly a lovely little pet snake. It’s white and beautiful. What’s disgusting! Animal protection people strongly condemn such views! It hurts people like us who are invested in animal protection to hear you say so!”

Su Luo: …

“Besides, when I was a child watching the legend of the White Snake, I dreamed of meeting the white lady. This snake is so beautiful and the same colour as the white lady. It’s the snake of my dreams. If you don’t mind, Xiao Shen, I’ll consider her a god daughter in the future. You can bring her over to play at any time.”

Su Luo: ? ? ?

What the devil is going on! This isn’t scientific!

Aren’t you afraid of it?

Make it your god daughter ? !

Why don’t you just recognize it as your wife!

Shen Qingshu’s expression flashed through joy before returning to sadness. “Although that’s great, my snake has a thin life and may not live until that time.”

He pretended to be sad and sniffled. “Tonight, she will become snake soup!”

“He dares!” Bai Xuege glared at Sun Xuan, “You want to eat other people’s pets. Do you still have humanity!”

“That’s a snake!” Sun Xuan explained.

“Shut up! Do you have a conscience when you say snake soup in front of animal activists? You’re just pig Bajie losing your temper – ugly and evil!” 9 

Sun Xuan: …

Sun Xuan’s heart felt blocked. He wanted to scold but didn’t dare to scold, so he had to suppress everything in his heart.

Shen Qingshu looked at him excitedly. “Teacher Xiao Bai, do you really feel that snakes aren’t disgusting? You don’t think snake keepers are abnormal?”

“Of course not. How can such a lovely little white snake be disgusting? Xiao Shen, why are you so kind? It’s some people,” he looked at Su Luo. “One is more disgusting than the other. In fact, they have the face of a human, but have a beast’s heart, ugly and evil!”

Su Luo blew up. “I’m trying to protect you!.”

“No, you’re too cruel. We animal protection activists don’t like it.”

Su Luo: …

Su Luo clenched her teeth and didn’t know what to say.

Shen Qingshu then looked at Su Luo, innocently and carefully, “Su jie, do you still want to catch this snake?”

“She dares!” Bai Xuege exclaims.

Su Luo: …

She didn’t dare.

“Well,” Shen Qingshu turned to look at Bai Xuege, “Then teacher Xiao Bai, I’ll give you this snake as gratitude for your help. Otherwise, if she stays with me, I’m afraid she will still be doomed to snake soup.”

Bai xuege took it in surprise, “Really? Thank you, Xiao Shen. You are the cutest person in the crew! In the future, you will be my best friend!”

Su Luo: …

Sun Xuan: …

Assistant: …

Staff: …

“What are you waiting for? Still not apologising to my best friend and my pet!”

Bai Xuege looked at the people in front of him and said through gnashed teeth: “Who previously said that people who raise snakes are not in their right mind and are not normal? Also! Who said my god daughter is disgusting ? ! Immediately apologise to Shen Qingshu, me and my god daughter! No one is allowed to escape! Nobody forced you to raise them, neither did they eat your rice, yet you scolded them again and again. Apologise!”

Su Luo: ! ! !

Sun Xuan: ! ! !

Assistant: QAQ

The three people were so upset that they almost wished to disintegrate on the spot.

Su Luo looked at the raging Bai Xuege. Looking like he  wouldn’t let it end like this if they didn’t apologise. Her heart was filled with helplessness. What does this have to do with you?! It’s not scolding you. What are you excited about?

Also! 

Why do you protect Shen Qingshu and this snake so much? Do you really treat it as the white lady?

What kind of magic trend is this! The plot is wrong!

Han Cheng stood outside the door and watched his little supercar show off his acting skills. The person who just pointed to him and asked him to apologise now reluctantly apologised to him. He almost clapped in surprise: Is this the feeling of watching a play as an outsider? No wonder his brother doesn’t want to give him the backup! It’s so wonderful!

But his brother is all right. Wu Yang, Yin Mingyao, Zhou Jinming, you three have seen so many wonderful plays. Isn’t it time to make up the tickets?! Pay it back ! ! !

1 Xiao Qing is the little green snake in the legend of the white snake and is the sworn younger sister of the white snake.

2 The white snake

3 Leifeng tower. Also from the legend of the white snake. Used by a monk to trap the white snake.

4 人干事= internet buzzword. Meaning at the climax of the plot an advertisement is suddenly inserted.

5 法海 = Fahai, name of the evil Buddhist monk in Tale of the White Snake

6 It is a metaphor for the twists and turns of love between a man and a woman. One side is affectionate, but the other side has no such intention. On the issue of marriage and love between men and women,

7 歌= song. Sounds similar to 哥, which mean elder brother and is also how Bai Xuege is written.

8 疏 is how Song Qingshu is written. It means not close, to clear away obstruction. It sounds very similar to uncle ‘shu’

In case the meaning doesn’t come across, for all his life everyone has been calling Bai Xuege ‘ge’ which sounds like older brother and therefore respecting him. Shen Qingshu replied with call me ‘shu’ which basically makes it sound like ‘call me uncle’ which is a generation up from ‘ge’ and therefore more respectful. Hope I explained that okay. 

9 Zhu Bajie, character in Journey to the West Journey to the West, with pig-like characteristics and armed with a rake

TN: Isn’t this a fun welcoming gift? xD
