Pretty Little Snake, Proudly Slacking Off

[Mild horror + ghost-catching + cute pets]

Zhu Hui spent three thousand years loafing around in the human world before cultivating a human form, only to get into a car accident as soon as it left its cave.

[Human bodies are way too weak. I almost got run over by that four-wheeled beast.]

After waking in a hospital bed, it stared blankly for a moment at the distinguished man in a suit before it. "May I ask who you are...?"

The man said he was its husband, then handed it a black card.

Zhu Hui didn't understand. It was a snake, after all!

Could a person marry a snake?

But seeing the card glow at his fingertips, Zhu Hui knew he could buy lots of tasty food with it.

It swallowed.

Zhu Hui thought having a human husband wasn't so bad:

Delicious little cakes could be paid for with a card. It didn't have to walk to go outside and sunbathe. It got a beautiful new outfit every day...

Well, except that they had to sleep together every night, and kiss, cuddle, and be lifted up high.

Oh, no, it seemed its human husband was afraid of snakes, so it had to go to the trouble of hiding its tail.

Pei Junling was a senior partner at a top-tier law firm, a refined gentleman whose eloquence dominated the courtroom.

Then he was told he had a sickly childhood betrothed who'd just been in a car accident, and that he had to bring it home to care for it.

Pei Junling looked at the blue-haired boy in the hospital bed, the corner of his mouth twitching. He turned to pick up a grape to ease the awkwardness, but the boy snatched it from him in an instant.

The boy spoke softly and haltingly. "Th-thank you, husband."

His face froze, and he coughed violently several times.

Having another person living at home kept Pei Junling incredibly busy.

"Husband, it's so cold. I want to sunbathe..."

"Husband, I'm so hungry. I want a cream puff..."

"Husband, I'm so bored. Come watch TV with me..."

His friends all said he was blissfully happy after getting married.

Pei Junling replied righteously, "I'm just taking care of a patient."

But he also felt that there wouldn't be anything wrong with living like this forever.

Until one night, he saw his betrothed, face flushed, curled up under the covers, moaning deeply and squirming nonstop.

A short length of tail... tail? peeked out from the end of the bed.
