Seeing the barrage of comments in the live stream chat, Chen Mengjie smiled and explained, "Thanks for everyone's concern, but I climbed the mountain together with my three good sisters from the dorm."
"Oh, so Little Meng is here too? With Little Meng around, I feel at ease."
"I still remember last time when the streamer saw a caterpillar in the park and Little Meng smashed it with a brick—that's some fierce spirit!"
"Where's my Sister Yun? Show her on camera."
"Everyone upstairs go fight over Little Meng and Sister Yun; I want to keep the streamer to myself."
"I'm different—I like the chubby Ranran."
Judging by the chat, the viewers were quite familiar with Chen Mengjie and her dorm group of four—and indeed, the others occasionally appeared on her streams.
Since her three roommates were also very pretty, fans had strong impressions of them.
"Hehe, by the way, let me show you something good."
Chen Mengjie smiled mysteriously at the camera, then turned it toward the large pine tree beside her.
Earlier, she had deliberately ignored the tree, planning to present it as a "surprise" to her viewers.
Once the massive pine appeared on screen, the chat erupted in excitement.
"That pine tree is huge—must be at least 500 years old."
"Didn't expect such scenery here on Wulong Mountain. I'll definitely visit when I have time."
"Streamer, can you get closer?"
Responding to chat requests, Chen Mengjie approached the pine. But as she neared, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise,
"Little Meng, Sister Yun, Ranran, come look—there's a tree hollow here!"
Chen Mengjie stared at the hollow about 1.5 meters off the ground—just slightly below her eye level, making it hard to see inside.
"Hm?"
Zhang Yun, Meng Ning, and Song Ran, who were resting nearby, all looked up when they heard Chen Mengjie.
"Do you think there are squirrels inside?"
Chen Mengjie's face showed interest. She knew squirrels liked to nest in tree hollows, and Meng Ning had told her squirrels lived in these mountains.
Though they'd seen many small animals on their hike, They hadn't spotted any squirrels yet, which left Chen Mengjie a bit disappointed.
So seeing this hollow stirred excitement in her.
Are there squirrels in the hollow?
"Squirrels? Where are squirrels?"
Song Ran, lying on the ground, hurriedly propped herself up when she heard Chen Mengjie, and Zhang Yun and Meng Ning also stood excitedly.
Few girls could resist the charm of such fluffy little creatures.
"Mengjie, don't get too close. What if this is a snake's hollow?"
Song Ran ran over and warned Chen Mengjie, who had stuck her face near the hollow.
Chen Mengjie froze for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Song Ran. "You're such a jinx!"
"Hahaha, Ranran's prediction again—let's see if it comes true this time."
"Actually, it's simple to tell a squirrel hollow from a snake hollow—you just put your hand inside and feel around."
"Yes, that method really works. I used it once on a hollow I found. It's quite cool down in the netherworld now."
"..."
Chen Mengjie glanced at the chat and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Just as she prepared to tiptoe and peek into the hollow for squirrels, she suddenly noticed Song Ran, Meng Ning, and Zhang Yun freeze, their expressions shifting strangely.
"Uh... Ranran, what's wrong?"
Chen Mengjie asked, confused, looking at Song Ran.
Song Ran stiffened, then hesitantly raised her right hand and pointed toward the hollow beside Chen Mengjie.
Chen Mengjie frowned and turned her head toward the hollow. Upon seeing inside, her expression instantly changed and she screamed sharply!
"Ah!"
She stood frozen in place, her face full of terror, staring at the hollow.
At the hollow's entrance rested a dark, grimy head-
It was a snake's head.
No wonder Chen Mengjie screamed.
Song Ran's warning was spot on—the hollow wasn't a squirrel's but a snake's.
Chen Mengjie nearly cried, wanting to run, but her legs were weak and she couldn't move.
"Mengjie, get away!"
Song Ran, Meng Ning, and Zhang Yun finally snapped out of it and urged her away.
"I..."
Chen Mengjie seemed to want to speak but was stunned again.
Not only her, but Song Ran, Meng Ning, and Zhang Yun were all dumbfounded as another round, shiny head popped out of the hollow.
It was a squirrel.
The squirrel was clutching the snake's head, staring wide-eyed at Chen Mengjie.
Snake and squirrel living together?
The four girls were instantly bewildered.
Zhang Yun snapped back to reality, grabbed her camera hanging from her neck, aimed at the hollow, and clicked the shutter.
Click!
The picture froze the intimate moment between snake and squirrel.
"Mengjie, come here!"
Meng Ning also recovered and pulled Chen Mengjie back cautiously.
Together, the four girls stared at Bai Zhe in the hollow, amazed and curious.
Snakes actually live with squirrels, and they seemed quite close—this overturned their understanding of nature.
Bai Zhe, sensing their stunned gaze, felt a bit dazed.
People? Here?
