The dinner is nearing its end, the leaders exchanged a few mandatory boot-licking greetings, then they left with their secretaries' accompaniment.

Yuan (Chi's father, in case yall forgot) and Guo's father didn't drink less too, once they touched on their childhood memories, it's a never-ending storytime.

 In the end, the ones left in the room are Chi and Guo with their fathers, Guo's father suddenly patted on Chi's shoulder and said, 'Son, bring your godfather for a tour around your snake farm!'

For as long as he can remember, Chi has been calling Guo's father his godfather.

Yuan absolutely detest the word 'snake', if it wasn't because of the alcohol and not wanting to let his old friend down, he would rather die than to see the nest of snakes.

After stepping into the snake farm, Guo's father has shown great interest in the snakes, he kept asking more and more about the snakes. Although Guo keeps snakes too, he rarely asked Guo about them, probably because Guo doesn't see rearing snakes as the core of his life so his father doesn't particularly hate or love snakes.

After seeing so many snakes, he then realized snakes are really beautiful creatures.

'Why don't you gift me one? I'll bring back home for a few days, I will return you if I really can't handle it.'

Even though he knew Guo's father was joking, Yuan's expression turned sour, after arguing with his son for several years, he knew Chi's temper so well. Selling snakes are not possible, he would much rather sell his own father, but who touches his snakes will have their heads rolling on the ground.

So, Yuan kept giving hinting gazes to Chi, he wasn't trying to force Chi into gifting his snakes, but rather to tell him to be nice when rejecting the offer.

 Guo is also trying to be a nice guy today, he tugged on his father's shirt, 'He has been keeping them for years, how can he gift you one so easily? I can give you one if you want!'

Unfortunately, Guo's father said, 'I don't like your snakes, I prefer my godson's snakes!'

The atmosphere immediately froze.

Chi suddenly said, 'Other than the snake on my shoulders, you can choose any other snakes here, take any one of them you like.'

After hearing this, Guo's expression immediately changed, you can even imagine how shocked Yuan is already.

Chi doesn't sound like he's joking either, he even carried a ball python that he has kept for 4 years to Guo's father. 

'What do you think of this snake?'

Guo's father shook his head.

Chi then chose a few, they're more vibrant in colour and tamed in personality, and they're also under Chi's care for a few years. Seeing Chi choosing the snakes with an ironed face, Guo has an indescribable feeling deep inside.

In the end, after shaking his head for numerous times, he then averted his gaze onto the one sitting on Chi's shoulders.

'Hey, I'm just interested in that one on your shoulders.'

After saying this, the whole room suddenly went dead silent.

Guo's father seems oblivious to the atmosphere in the room, he still caressed Jealous, Jealous' stance quickly showed annoyment, its gaze also became more alert and sharp.

Just when everyone's heart is hanging by a thin thread, Guo's father burst out of laughter out of the blue.

 'I'm just joking, how could I make my godson sad?'
