Hot Fall: The Domineering Snake Husband Gently Embraces Me
Chapter 48 His Law of Survival
Born without seeing your parents?
Su Qingqing found it a little unbelievable. She thought it would take at least a while to raise it.
"But...but if that's the case, won't they be eaten by other natural enemies? Even you, there will be a period of time when you are young that you can't be self-sufficient, right? Is it really okay to leave your child outside like this?"
Yan Li thought for a moment before saying, "Females usually give birth in a secret cave. The first day is indeed very uncomfortable. My parents will leave one portion of food for us. We also need some time to adapt to our bodies and use our own strength to fight for food. The stronger and more talented one is, the more food one can get. After three days, when the food is finished, we can go out of the cave and hunt..."
Yan Li calmly recounted his growth experience. His voice was calm, but every word made Su Qingqing feel creepy.
But she still wanted to ask the questions in her heart, even though she might have already guessed the answer in her heart.
"Then...if the strongest one monopolizes all the food, what will happen to the others?"
She wanted to say your brothers and sisters, but then she felt that there was no point in saying it, so she changed her words.
Sure enough, the next second, Yan Li smiled and said, "Of course they will starve to death, or become nutrients for others. The weak have no right to survive."
At this point, he added, "Of course, there are exceptions. If it's a female, we will take the initiative to share the food with her. After all, the birth rate of females is very low in our place. Maybe only one in a hundred births is a female."
"Is that so..." Su Qingqing responded dryly.
As a human being, she could not agree with this way of survival that was like raising insects.
But we have to admit that this method undoubtedly enabled Yanli's race to survive. Even the weakest ones should have elite and high-quality genes.
With continuous evolution, the inferior genes of weak bodies are eliminated, and those left are the smartest and the strongest. Even if the race is small in number, other races will be terrified as long as they hear of the snake people.
This is his law of survival.
Yan Li didn't notice her abnormality. He felt that this was the first time Su Qingqing took the initiative to ask about him, and he was a little excited. When she stopped asking, he couldn't help but ask, "Qingqing, aren't you curious, am I the strongest in my group?"
Su Qingqing was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Is there anyone stronger than you?"
She didn't know either. After all, she had only seen Yan Li, and compared to humans, he was already terrifyingly strong.
But she also realized that his race destined Yan Li to accumulate the best genes, and perhaps the same was true for his tribesmen.
Who would have thought that Yan Li's next sentence would be, "Of course not, I am the strongest, and all the food belongs to me."
He said this with pride, as a male asserting his strength and rights in front of a female he liked.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at Su Qingqing, with a gleam in his eyes that was usually indifferent, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes as he looked at Su Qingqing.
"Qingqing?"
However, Su Qingqing did not give him a cold look as he expected. Instead, she was slightly dazed, with an unfocused gaze that didn't even look at him.
The expression on Yan Li's face fell, and he couldn't help but whispered to the other party, "Qingqing..."
His voice was very low, without even any emotion, but it was extremely oppressive, making Su Qingqing feel a chill all of a sudden.
Only then did she react. She couldn't help but look up at him and felt his burning gaze.
"What were you thinking about just now?"
Su Qingqing thought to herself that this was not good. She swore that her mind wasn't as fast as it was now when she was taking the college entrance examination.
She swallowed and said subconsciously, "I...I was thinking, although your race is very strong, it must also be very lonely, right?"
"Loneliness? What is that?" he asked with some confusion.
"It's just... wouldn't you feel bored if you were alone all the time? There's a saying that goes, 'It's lonely at the top', that's probably what it means..."
Yan Li understood immediately, "So this is what you mean. Don't worry, we will find a partner when we grow up, and then we will live with our partner. We won't be alone forever."
As he said this, he held Su Qingqing's little hand.
"Now I have found you, haven't I? My dear..."
Su Qingqing looked up at her. She didn’t know if it was because of the moonlight or the light, but she felt that Yan Li’s eyes were particularly sincere and gentle at this moment.
She even felt that Yan Li might really like her...
But...can I accept him?
Can you accept... him like this?
Can this world accept him?
Su Qingqing felt extremely complicated, with all kinds of emotions. Her inner timidity and uneasiness made her subconsciously pull her hand away from Yan Li's fingertips.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy. I want to sleep."
He curled his lips slightly, "Then go to sleep, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Hmm..." Su Qingqing nodded, then curled up on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
She didn’t know when Yan Li left. She fell asleep very quickly in the second half of the night, and her consciousness became blurry almost as soon as she touched the pillow.
The next day, Su Qingqing got up early to have breakfast. Su Min was already downstairs drinking coffee and reading the latest financial news. There was a clear dark circle under his eyes, obviously he had not slept all night.
Su Qingqing sat down and Su Min poured her a glass of milk. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
He was in the study all day yesterday. When he heard some noise outside, he went out to check for a while, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.
Seeing Su Qingqing yawning, he asked subconsciously.
However, Su Qingqing straightened her body, looked up at Su Min, and frowned, "Brother, how dare you say that to me? Your dark circles are several times heavier than mine, and you still drink coffee!"
Su Min put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Don't worry about adults' affairs. I have my own considerations."
"I'm not a child anymore." Su Qingqing said with some dissatisfaction, her voice suddenly tinged with sadness, "I've said that money can be earned slowly, and our family doesn't lack that much money. It's not a good thing to be too ambitious. I just hope that our family can be safe and sound, and good health is good enough..."
Yes, she only hopes that they can be safe and healthy, happy and alive to be with their family, and that will make her happy.
But she understood that such a small wish might not be realized now.
Su Min turned his head to look at Su Qingqing. Seeing that his sister looked depressed and sad, he sighed and reached out to touch the top of her head like he did when they were little. "Qingqing, be good. I know my limits. I promise that I will never leave you again and will never make you worry again."
Su Qingqing looked at him and said, "Then change your coffee to milk, postpone your work today, and go back to catch up on your sleep. If you do it, I will believe you."
Su Min smiled, "Why are you still educating your elder brother? But how can I not listen to my eldest lady's words?"
Having said that, he asked the nanny to replace the coffee with milk and took a sip in front of Su Qingqing.
"Is this okay?"
Su Qingqing then withdrew her gaze, and at this moment, Su's father and mother arrived.
"What are you two arguing about again?"
"It's okay, Qingqing, let me rest more."
Mother Su hadn't eaten the fried egg in her hand yet. When she heard Su Min's words, she immediately nodded in agreement, "You should have a good rest. You've become so thin that you're almost a skeleton. Don't go to work today. Your father's old bones can still hold up. You should have a good rest and wait for your benefactor to come over for dinner at home."
"That's not an exaggeration. Don't make your son sound so weak. I'm still very strong, I just don't look fat."
"Yes, yes, my son is the best, but you still have to stay at home and rest. This is what mom said, you can't disobey."
Su Min was a little amused, "Mom, I'm already 30."
"Even if you are eighty, you are still my son. In my eyes, you will always be a child." Mother Su glared at him and retorted, "Instead of working, shouldn't you find me a daughter-in-law?"
"Mom, didn't you say I'm still a child? No rush."
"You! Rebellious son!" Su's mother angrily picked up the fork on the table and was about to throw it, but Su Qingqing quickly stopped her.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and full of joy.
Su Qingqing couldn't help but think in her heart, how nice it would be if it could always be like this...
