Su Qingqing first felt that lying was not a solution. It was okay for a short period of time, but one could not tell a lie for a lifetime.

Moreover, it would obviously be extremely difficult for Yanli to maintain his human form for his entire life.

Because she knew that what he hated most was the human form. He liked to transform into a snake tail and stroll around the house whenever he had time. What he liked most was swimming in the swimming pool in his half-human, half-snake form. He could swim for more than an hour at a time. That should be the most relaxing time of the day for him.

Su Qingqing felt that it would be a bit cruel to Yan Li if he was deprived of it.

At this time, the door was opened and Yan Li walked in from outside with steaming food in his hands.

"Qingqing, eat something."

He put the food on the bedside. Su Qingqing put down her phone and nodded, but she still wanted to get up and wash up.

Just as she got out of bed, she suddenly felt her legs go weak and she almost fell to her knees.

The next second, Yan Li quickly grabbed it.

Only then did Su Qingqing realize that her leg muscles were so sore that she could hardly close them.

Forcing himself to stand up, Yan Li asked Su Qingqing, "Do you want to take a bath? I heard it would make you feel much more comfortable."

Su Qingqing nodded, Yan Li gently placed her on the bed and turned to run a bath for Su Qingqing.

It was difficult for his skin to judge the comfortable temperature for humans, and he was afraid that the water temperature he set was not appropriate and would make her uncomfortable, so to be on the safe side, he ran to get a thermometer.

After making sure the temperature was 38.9 degrees, which was the water temperature Su Qingqing liked, he turned around, carefully picked her up, and put her directly into the water.

Her shirt was wet, soaking her body and lapels. The slightly scalding water turned her delicate fair skin into a light pink, which was faintly visible under the white shirt.

Yan Li lay on the wall of the pool, looking at her with some obsession.

"you are so Beautiful……"

Su Qingqing saw that his eyes were burning, his pair of golden-pink eyes were as dazzling as starlight, and the way he looked at her was particularly gentle.

Su Qingqing felt her heart beating a little faster, and she couldn't help but cover her chest for fear that he would hear it.

"You...you are very beautiful too..." she couldn't help but say in a low voice.

How could he not look good? He always said that he was not a snake demon. Now it seemed that he was indeed not, because Su Qingqing felt that he was more seductive and more demonic than a snake demon...

Hearing her praise his good looks, Yan Li smiled slightly, "The males over there are all very good looking, but none of the females are as good looking as you. Of course, among the males, I am also the best looking."

Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and was just staying beside her without any intention of doing anything, Su Qingqing didn't try to chase him away immediately, but was attracted by his words.

Yan Li has said more than once that the males there are good-looking.

Su Qingqing thought about it carefully. From a biological point of view, it seems that male animals in the animal kingdom are indeed much more beautiful than female animals. The most obvious example should be the peacock.

Male peacocks are much more beautiful than female peacocks because they need to use their beautiful appearance to attract the opposite sex to obtain mating rights.

For example, lions with thick manes and strong physiques will be favored by lionesses first, and so on... It's basically the same for other animals.

The situation on Yanli's side should be the same.

So she asked curiously, "Yanli, how did you get here? You... shouldn't be from this world, right?"

She had had some suspicions before, and finally asked about it today.

Then Yan Li nodded, "Well, it's strange to say. I was hunting prey, and suddenly the sky turned black. A white light flashed before my eyes. I heard thunder, but my body didn't hurt at all. When I woke up again, I was in a completely unfamiliar place."

As expected, Yan Li was not from her world. She said, if he was not a snake demon, how could he have a tail, and how could he have such strong power and wisdom.

So she couldn't help asking, "How old were you when you came here? How old are you now?"

Yan Li thought for a moment before saying, "According to your human calculations, when I first arrived in this world, I couldn't grow my legs yet, which would have made me about 13 years old in human terms. Then, after living in that forest for three years, I met you, which would have made me years old."

Su Qingqing's mouth twitched. Doesn't that mean he is only 18 years old now?

So tender...

She swallowed, the astonishment and speechlessness in her heart could no longer be described in words.

Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Yan Li couldn't help but say, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

"No... I just think you're so small, much smaller than me. I'm already 24..."

Yan Li was puzzled, "So what?"

Su Qingqing hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "Will I age faster than you? By the way, do you also have a long lifespan?"

"Life span? As for the life span of snake people, according to human calculations, a normal life span is about 200 to 300 years. Of course, there are also 500 to 600 years. The situation is not certain."

Su Qingqing was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Yanli, when did you become like this?"

"When? My legs changed when I was 14, and my appearance has never changed since then."

“So will you grow old?”

Yan Li nodded, "Yes, but it's difficult and takes a very long time. Once we are thirteen years old and can transform our legs, we are already half-adult and our appearance is finalized. Then we will maintain this appearance forever. This appearance can probably last for more than a hundred years without any changes. The tribesmen around me are all like this, and I think I should be the same, so don't worry, Qingqing, I will look good for a long time."

He thought Su Qingqing asked this because she was worried that he would not look good when he got older, so she was anxious to express that he could maintain this look for a long time.

But Su Qingqing was not as happy as he imagined. Instead, a trace of sadness flashed across her face and her shoulders drooped completely.

Seeing that she was completely depressed, Yan Li stepped forward anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"

Su Qingqing shook her head. "You're not wrong. You're in good health, so it's normal for you to live longer. But Yanli, we humans can only live for a hundred years at most. By that time, I'll have become an ugly old lady, and you'll still be so beautiful..."

Su Qingqing couldn't bear it when she thought of that scene.

She found that there was indeed a huge gap between her and Yanli. Why didn't she think about the issue of life span before?

After all, his genes are so much more perfect than humans.

Su Qingqing found it too sad that she could not grow old with her lover, but could only watch her grow old and ugly and die in her arms.

She was feeling sad and didn't realize that she had actually started thinking about her own future with the other person.

Then, she heard Yan Li's laughter coming from above her head, a low, very pleasant sound.
