Chapter 657: Chapter 658: The Tattoo is a Bit Strange

Su Shu separated all the samples and added some soil from the space for comparison.

Moreover, she deliberately watered them with well water from the space.

After waiting for a few days, today was the day for the results.

She had been waiting in the space since Tang Zelin and the children left home in the morning.

The fox from the space had been keeping her company all this time. During her busy preparations for the experiment, the fox had been a great help.

Ever since the Little Snake King died, the fox wasn’t as talkative as before, seeming a bit lonely without its usual sparring partner.

And the other Little Red Snake in the space, unable to speak, if not for busily following Su Shu around with the experiments lately, it would have probably died of loneliness.

As they waited for the results, the two sat together in anticipation.

“The Little Red Snake has recently taken quite a liking to coiling up on the peach tree, just like a certain stinky snake,” the fox said rather wistfully.

Su Shu exhaled a long breath, “How has it been doing recently?”

“How would it be doing? Pretty much the same as me,” the fox said. “After the Little Snake King left, it’s not as lively as before. It doesn’t cling to me anymore and has recently taken a great liking to coiling on the peach tree. I think the peach tree likes it a lot too.”

Su Shu made a sound of agreement, “Shall we take a walk outside? The results will take a while longer.”

“Sure.”

Su Shu and the fox walked out of the laboratory and drew well water in the courtyard, then sat down under the peach tree.

Above them, a red snake tail dangled from the tree.

Looking up, Su Shu felt a moment of trance.

It felt as if a certain lazy snake was still sprawled up there.

One that used to tease her occasionally and enjoyed her missteps yet never stood by during critical moments.

She had gone from initial helplessness to being accustomed to its presence, and deep inside, she felt a void, chillingly open to the wind.

The fox asked, “Master, has the tattoo on your wrist changed at all?”

Su Shu lifted her wrist, “No, not in the past few days.”

The fox leaned in for a closer look, resting its paw on her wrist.

“Strange.”

“What’s strange?”

At the mention of “strange” by the fox, Su Shu’s heart immediately tightened.

“Fox, do you know something?”

The fox withdrew its paw and shook its head, “No, when I say strange, I mean a few days ago, I could still feel the heat from the tattoo. How come there’s none now?”

Reminded by the fox, Su Shu also remembered.

Indeed, that’s right.

A few days ago, she still occasionally felt a mild burning sensation at her wrist, but perhaps due to being busy with the experiment, she had neglected it these past two days.

Thinking this, she suddenly realized another matter.

Since she became pregnant, whether it was Li Xiaoxia from the Luo Family or Granny Fu from the Ge Family, they all told her about the unpleasant symptoms during pregnancy.

Yet these days, she hadn’t experienced any of the nausea, discomfort, or irritability they described.

In fact, she felt her body was somehow more comfortable than before the pregnancy.

And her senses seemed to be sharper than before.

The sensation was like having an extra pair of antennae, capable of perceiving so much more.

For instance, the well water from the space tasted even sweeter to her now than before.

It didn’t quite taste like well water, but more like spring water.

Such changes had been happening gradually, and she had inadvertently overlooked them.

Now that she thought about it, her pregnancy seemed much easier than those of the other pregnant women she had seen.

What could be the reason?

The fox suggested, “What have you eaten before? Or what have you done? Or maybe, your constitution is just different from that of ordinary people?”

Su Shu pondered, “I’ve eaten many things, I’ve done many things, how can I possibly know which one it is.”

A breeze blew by, rustling the leaves above their heads.

The fox casually remarked, “Ah, there used to be a few fruits on this peach tree to look forward to, now they’re gone and no longer growing.”

A flash of insight struck Su Shu, what had she eaten?!

She, she seemed to have eaten peaches before!
