This incident was just an interlude. When Zhang Xiaohan entered the classroom, no one in the class brought this up anymore.

“Xiaomei, your aunt said that she had something to tell you. Did she come to look for you?”

Only then did Wang Xiaomei look up and nod at Zhang Xiaohan.

Zhang Xiaohan did not question further. For some reason, Wang Xiaomei did not complain to the teacher this time.

Xie Chaochao didn’t think too much about it. She just thought that this matter was over.

However, the next day, something terrible happened.

As usual, Xie Chaochao brought Xiao Hua into the classroom. She placed Xiao Hua in the desk drawer and opened her textbook, as she waited for the teacher to come to

class.

Normally, Xiao Hua would just stay in the drawer obediently and not cause trouble. However, it was very unusual today. It moved vigorously around in the drawer.

Xie Chaochao looked toward the drawer curiously. She saw Xiao Hua twisting its body frantically inside. It wanted to climb out but for some reason, it retreated.

She hurriedly took Xiao Hua out. The little flower snake crawled along her arm and onto the ground. It crawled out of the classroom and did not even hear Xie Chaochao

shout.Xie Chaochao immediately panicked. This had never happened before. She stood up and wanted to chase after it.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohan walked in with her textbook and saw Xie Chaochao about to run out.

“Hey, Chaochao, class is starting soon. Hurry up and sit down!”

Xie Chaochao looked worried. “Teacher, for some reason, Xiao Hua suddenly ran out. I want to go and find Xiao Hua!”

Zhang Xiaohan knew how important Xiao Hua was to Xie Chaochao. She walked down the podium and went to Xie Chaochao’s table to check on the situation.

“What’s this smell?”

Zhang Xiaohan smelled something and went closer to smell it. Then, her expression changed. “Why is there realgar here?”

Xie Chaochao had heard of realgar before. Previously, Xie Zhou had warned her not to bring Xiao Hua into contact with realgar.Now that she had heard from her teacher that Xiao Hua had come into contact with realgar, she was so scared that she almost cried.

“Teacher, will Xiao Hua die? I want to go and find Xiao Hua!”

Hearing the little girl’s sobbing, Zhang Xiaohan’s heart ached. She comforted her, “Chaochao, don’t cry. Xiao Hua is fine. It’s just that it couldn’t stand the pungent smell of

realgar and wasn’t willing to stay here. That’s why it ran out. Let’s go and find it!”

Xie Chaochao ran out of the classroom. Zhang Xiaohan said to the students in the class, “You guys read first”. Then, she also ran out of the classroom.

Wang Xiaomei, who was in her seat, smiled subtly.

Xie Chaochao looked around the campus for any traces of Xiao Hua, but she couldn’t find it. She was so anxious that tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Zhang Xiaohan also helped to search, but she did not find anything.

“Chaochao, let’s go back to class first, okay? After this class is over, we’ll get the entire class to help look for Xiao Hua. We’ll definitely help you find Xiao Hua, okay?”

Xie Chaochao wiped her tears and sobbed. “Teacher, is Xiao Hua unwilling to come back? I was the one who placed it in realgar. It must have disliked me so it hid!”

“No. You guys are best friends. It won’t leave you. It was just agitated. When it recovers, it will come back for you!”

Zhang Xiaohan comforted her, “Let’s go back and clean up the realgar in your desk first. Otherwise, when Xiao Hua comes back, she will be agitated again!”

Xie Chaochao followed the teacher back to the classroom. The class was very lively now. Everyone was discussing Xie Chaochao and the little flower snake.

When the students saw Xie Chaochao walking in while crying, they immediately fell silent..
