Hey, Human! Do You Want to Cuddle with a Snake?

[Complete] My next novel, *Can a Socially Anxious Little Spider Be Loved by Everyone?*, launches in November. Qi Chi was a foolish little country snake: nearsighted, frail, and poor. Finding a wife was harder than reaching the heavens, so he could only move to the city and work as a live-in housekeeper. His employer was a stunning top model, but after an accident a while ago, he was confined to a wheelchair and wore hearing aids. When Qi Chi arrived, the man’s expression darkened. His pale, gaunt face was full of apology as he gently tugged at the boy’s clothes, his voice trembling. “I’m sorry. In my current condition, you’ll have to take care of me a lot. If you think it’s too much trouble, I can pay extra for your travel expenses…” Oh no, he was so pitiful! He must really need a little snake! Qi Chi adjusted his sunglasses and nodded confidently. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you from now on!” People said that monsters ran rampant in Yan Jiuzhi’s villa at night, and terrifying tentacles crawled through every room without restraint, devouring anyone who entered. Qi Chi paid no heed. His immortal-like employer was clearly lonely and pitiful, and really needed a little snake housekeeper! The little snake housekeeper was very capable. When bad people came looking for trouble, he bravely stepped in and did his best to scare them off. He carefully recorded every one of his employer’s preferences, right down to his underwear preferences. On every stormy night, he thoughtfully offered to sleep beside him… Afraid of thunder, the man always held him tightly, his arms wrapped around him so firmly that he could barely breathe. “Wait, wait… why does it feel like something’s wrapped around my leg?” The man sounded innocent. “Maybe it’s my leg. I’m sorry, they haven’t been behaving since I got hurt. Can you forgive me?” Qi Chi stared blankly, suppressing the strange tingling sensation that had suddenly risen inside him. He reminded the man anxiously, “Oh. Then don’t wrap them so tightly.” The man chuckled softly. Unseen tentacles tightened their grip, greedily slipping beneath the boy’s clothes. … Anyway, he was a super-capable snake! The capable little snake got a call from a friend. “How’s work in the city? Come back soon. The village is setting people up on dates, and you might get a wife!” Qi Chi: !!! A wife, a wife, a wife! But as soon as the little snake stepped out of the house, countless tentacles shot out of the shadows and dragged him back inside. His “gentle, pitiful, innocent” employer dropped the act. Powerful, evil tentacles bound the little snake tightly, and the possessiveness in his eyes threatened to swallow him whole. “Am I not your wife? Hubby~” #Help, this little snake is about to be forced into love by an evil tentacle monster!

Qiao Ying was brought back to a wealthy family. The good news: everyone in the family adored him. The bad news: he was a socially anxious jumping spider, while his family were ordinary humans who hated spiders. They’d brought home the wrong person! “Mom, Dad, what would you do if I wasn’t your child?” A mother who could topple a dynasty with a word, a father who put pets to sleep, and an overbearing CEO big brother: :) Qiao Ying was so socially anxious that whenever he went outside, he had to stick close to the walls. His greatest pleasure was sneaking out to eat a meal of human negative emotions, then secretly crawling back to his clean little nest: QAQ · The lost little treasure of a nonhuman family had finally been found. The only problem was that the child had grown up in human society, thought of himself as human, and was terrified of spiders. He was gentle and frail, and even seemed to lack a strong sense of self. As the most accomplished and successful spider in the family, Xi Yan had no choice but to obey his adoptive mother’s orders and move back into the old family home to care for his little brother. By day, he was a cool-headed, steady company director, signing contracts worth hundreds of millions. His shirt buttons were always fastened to the very top. He was restrained, dependable, and born to command. By night, he was the gentlest, most patient big brother, secretly helping his silly little spider mend the threads in his hunting web, preparing clean, sweet spring water, and choosing safe, reliable meat… From then on, the world lost a giant venomous spider with an extreme aversion to outsiders, and gained a good man who doted on his little brother. · After joining the Xi family, Qiao Ying was gently tucked in by his kind and beautiful father, given a handful of black cards by his bold and domineering mother, and led around the house by his steady, dependable big brother, who patiently helped him get to know every corner of the place. Qiao Ying also suddenly discovered a strange ability: he could identify the emotions coming from his brother. A faint sweetness meant happiness. A little bitterness meant frustration. Sweet and sour meant jealousy… Thanks to this ability, he discovered another side of his always-steady, powerful adoptive brother, and grew more and more brazen, relying on his brother’s affection. 1. Stick close to his big brother as much as he wanted every day, clinging to him whenever he was scared. 2. Use his brother’s card to buy all sorts of little things he wanted to try, and insist that his brother always wear the handmade gifts he made. 3. Take advantage of his brother’s doting nature by giving him all the terrible dishes their father cooked and every pink sweater their mother knitted. … Until one day, he caught a different scent coming from his brother, something alluring and bewitching, like ylang-ylang. It was the longing to find a mate. His brother had someone he liked, and the truth that he was a little spider was finally exposed. Seeing that he was about to lose his loving parents and the big brother he adored, Qiao Ying cried until his eyes were red and apologized fearfully. Xi Yan soaked in ice water, forcing down his desire. His voice was husky. “How can you be so silly?” Later, on Qiao Ying’s birthday, he made two wishes. He wished that he could stay with his parents and brother forever, and that his brother would always love him. Theme: No job is beneath anyone.
