Mu Zi could not see anything in the dark.

She frowned in confusion and bent down, groping in the darkness, and eventually touched a cool and slippery thing…

She did not dare to make any big movements. She concentrated and continued to follow up along that thick and long… smooth… soft…

That thing suddenly moved!

Mu Zi’s legs instantly gave out and she landed on the ground!

—Holy sh*t! It was a snake!

Why was there someone who kept a snake in their room?!

The slippery and moist feeling made Mu Zi’s scalp tingle! The hairs on her body raised!

This was not an ordinary snake. It was a boa constrictor! At that moment, it was slowly climbing up along her calf— 

Mu Zi’s body was frozen solid. She bit her lip to control the urge to scream, and reached out to remove the snake bit by bit, bit by bit…

Her movement was extremely gentle and slow.

She had just pushed aside the snake’s tail in the end when its head wound around her again. Mu Zi wanted to cry!

She had just reincarnated. Was she going to be killed by a snake now?!

Mu Zi could only continue to sit on the ground motionlessly, hoping that the snake would leave on its own.

The snake slithered around her, hissing from time to time, and caused her to hold her breath in fright. When the last part of the snake finally slipped away from her body, Mu Zi could no longer bear it and quickly pressed her back against the wall before beginning to retreat from the side!

She was afraid to disturb this monster again, so although her movements were very gentle, her heart was pounding violently!

The room was dark and silent, and the air conditioning made the air slightly moist.

Her eyes could not see clearly in the darkness, but she could vaguely distinguish the outline of the boa.

What a huge serpent!

Mu Zi could not help but exclaim in the darkness.

At that point, the snake seemed to smell her and made a beeline towards her!

Mu Zi’s soul almost escaped from her body in fright. She hurriedly took a few steps back, but the wall behind her back suddenly ended! —She lost her center of gravity and fell onto a bed with a bang! 

At that moment, she smelled a faint scent of tobacco as well as a cold masculine smell.

Mu Zi shut her eyes as a light flashed in her head. She immediately guessed who the owner of the room was…

There were only three men in the family—Mu Zening did not have this habit, and Mu Rongxuan would not wake up this late. That left… Mu Rongcheng!

She should have thought of it sooner!

However, she could not bother with that fact now. That was because there was a boa constrictor under the bed!

Mu Zi quickly dived under the quilt, and shrank her head and feet under it! She curled up on the bed and did not dare to move.

The man beside her woke up the moment Mu Zi fell on the bed. He paused for a moment before propping up on his arms and looked at the shivering bundle on his bed in the dark.

Mu Zi was afraid of being driven out by him. She clutched the quilt tightly and announced herself. “Brother, it’s me!”

A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Rongcheng’s eyes. He remained silent for a long time before turning on the switch on the desk lamp at the head of the bed with a frown and asked softly, “How did you get into my bed? Get down.”

The bulge under the quilt quivered, and half of Mu Zi’s head peeked out from below. Her wet eyes were clear as spring, and under the glow of the warm orange light, she looked like a frightened deer in the forest, confused but charming.

Mu Rongcheng’s breath stopped.

“Brother…” Mu Zi gripped the quilt tightly with a pitiful voice. “Can you drive it away first?”

Mu Rongcheng followed where her eyes were looking at and saw the lazy boa on the ground.

His lips hooked up. There seemed to be a vague smile in his dark eyes. “Isn’t Sisi your pet? Have you forgotten about it already?”
