Jin Yebei knew that Ning Ruxing couldn’t keep up with him, so he slowed down his pace to make her feel less tired. As he walked, he turned on the GPS on his phone. The zoo was huge, and the main purpose of their visit today was to see the snake, so they shouldn’t waste too much time. Jin Yebei said, “If we continue this way, we’ll reach the snake area.”

It was the weekend, so there were quite a lot of people at the zoo. Some parents brought their children while some couples came here for a date. Jin Yebei followed Ning Ruxing’s walking speed to be beside her. And since they were wearing the same color, no matter how you looked at them, the two of them looked like a couple. Ning Ruxing looked at Jin Yebei and said, “Jin Yebei, do you want to use some sun lotion? The sun is still very bright today which would make it easy for our skin to turn dark!”

Jin Yebei wanted to refuse, but since Ning Ruxing had already taken out the lotion, he couldn’t refuse. How could he refuse when Ning Ruxing was so concerned about him? However, Jin Yebei had never used such a thing before and didn’t know how to use it. He frowned and asked, “How do I use this?”

Ning Ruxing was stunned at first. What? The chairman of Sen Ran didn’t know how to use sun lotion? How was he still so fair, then? ‘But I guess it makes sense. Men rarely use this kind of thing. Jin Yebei is so fair so I guess he was just blessed with good genes. How enviable,” thought Ning Ruxing before she said, “Well, close your eyes. I’ll spray a little on you.”

Jin Yebei obediently closed his eyes as Ning Ruxing held up the sun lotion spray. Jin Yebei was a little tall, and when she was about to stand on her tiptoes, Jin Yebei suddenly bent down. Ning Ruxing’s heart started to beat uncontrollably, especially since Jin Yebei’s face was so close to hers. She could see his white skin and despite the distance between them, she still could not see his pores. This made Ning Ruxing a little jealous!

Ning Ruxing sprayed the cream evenly on Jin Yebei’s face. When some of it got on his eyelashes, they looked like raindrops. Ning Ruxing was mesmerized just looking at him. How could there be such a perfect man in this world? Jin Yebei sensed that Ning Ruxing was falling into a daze. But he couldn’t tell if she was done or not. So he asked, “Done?”

Ning Ruxing came back to her senses, though her face was a little red. She couldn’t be blamed for this. Instead, she could only blame Jin Yebei for being so good-looking that Ning Ruxing couldn’t help but be fascinated by him. Fortunately, Jin Yebei closed his eyes and didn’t see anything. Otherwise, it would be another social death scene. Ning Ruxing quickly said, “Wait a moment, I’ll spray you a little more!”

With a little more to go, she was finally done. Then, she sprayed some on herself. The two of them continued to walk according to the navigation app on Jin Yebei’s phone. A few minutes later, they arrived at the snake area. There were many kinds of snakes here, and the big snake was locked in the innermost area that day. Ning Ruxing could see the huge snake through the fence.

The snake also sensed that someone was approaching so it immediately opened its eyes and slithered over from a distance. It seemed to be emitting a huge sense of oppression through the enclosure, and if it was someone else, they might have turned around and run away in fear. Ning Ruxing, however, stood indifferently in the same place and carefully observed every detail of the big snake.

The big snake got closer and closer, and when it was about to reach the railing, it straightened its upper body and looked at Ning Ruxing with a pair of cold eyes. Snakes didn’t like to look at people, and when it found that Ning Ruxing was still looking at it, it opened its huge mouth, as if it wanted to swallow Ning Ruxing whole. And it was at that moment the snake saw the person next to Ning Ruxing; the big snake suddenly became well-behaved.

The snake’s behavior immediately took a u-turn as it obediently lay on the ground, its eyes constantly looking around. The floor of the cage was filled with animals that it had fed on and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Regardless, Ning Ruxing stepped forward and carefully observed its scales. Jin Yebei asked, “So, is this the snake you were looking for?”

Ning Ruxing’s eyes were full of disappointment after a careful examination. Although this one was somewhat similar, it was clear from the shape of the scales and the patterns that it was not the snake Ning Ruxing was looking for. Ning Ruxing shook her head and said disappointed, “No, the snake I’m looking for is very cute and likes to be clean. This one is too smelly and dirty!”
