My Foolish Snake Husband Wouldn’t Stop Pestering Me ch 3: Pulling Off Scales To Save People

Yan Rui was stared at, only feeling as if his bones were crushed, his shoulders slumped down and his neck drooped.

«A’chen, can I not pull the scales tonight?» The temperature was the lowest in the evening, he had just finished his blood donation, and his weak body couldn’t bear the pain of pulling off the scales at all.

The man’s eyes flushed aggrievedly, his eyelashes trembled, his thin shoulders seemed to be out of control, weakly collapsed and trembling.

With such aggrieved appearance, Duan Chen didn’t look out for him, and looked at him with dark eyes. The deterrence revealed by his whole body was even more piercing than the cold wind outside.

«Do you either want me to do it personally, or you to do it yourself.» Yan Rui’s body was not in his own hands from the moment he was engaged to him.

He asks to take as much blood as he wants, diggs for meat, pull off scales, and even if he wants his life it’s okay.

Duan Chen opened the drawer and took out a knife from the inside. It was silver on the outside. The blade was sharp and gleaming under the light. It was about the same size as an ordinary fruit knife. The only difference was that the tip of the knife was turned up like a fish hook.

Yan Rui glanced at it and then quickly lowered her eyes: «I…I’ll do it myself.»

«Go out, don’t stain this room.»

Yan Rui flickered over to catch the knife, shaking his hand so badly that he accidentally touched Duan Chen’s warm fingertips.

Duan Chen threw the knife on the ground with disgust on his face, as if he had touched something dirty just now.

The knife fell on the ground with a sharp *tin* sound, Yan Rui paused, resisting the uncomfortable feeling, and stooping to pick it up with difficulty.

Yan Rui went out of the room and returned to the room from before, closed the door and locked it.

The trousers were rolled up to reveal the calf. Yan Rui was healthy, his skin was tender and white, and his calf was slender, but it was this pair of legs that were covered with scars. Part of the flesh seemed to have just started to grow and the pits of flesh were pink.

Quoting Duan Chen’s words, it looked disgusting.

Yan Rui rolled his trousers up to his knees and stroked his left hand, only to see a white snake scale appearing on a piece of intact skin.

Snake scales grow in the flesh. To remove the scales, you must first peel off the outer skin and flesh.

Yan Rui looked around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the pile of gauzes on the table.

He took and stuffed it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly became firm after a brief struggle.

He will give A’chen whatever he desires, what is this bit of pain compared to it?

Yan Rui sat on the recliner, clenching the handle of the knife and raising the knife. After a sting, the warm liquid dripped down the bloody wound, and the wriggling blood flowed from the calf to the ankle.

Afraid of soiling the recliner, Yan Rui stretched out his legs, blood dripping on his toes, forming a pool of red puddles on the white tiles and filling the air with the smell of blood.

Yan Rui took a weak breath and ran his fingers into the wound. The cut was deep, and he felt a hard object inside, that were his snake scales.

It is impossible to pull out scales with bare hands. If you want to pull out a scale intact, you need to use this knife with a hook.

Yan Rui clenched the gauze in his mouth firmly and once again raised the knife in his hand to gently pick up the tip of the scale. After having clamped it in with the hook, he pulled it up, the scale fell to the ground carrying flesh and blood.

There was a painful roar in Yan Rui’s throat, tears mixed with the cold sweat on his face and disappeared into the collar along the chin line.

The temples bulged one after another and the blue veins on his forehead started to jump. Yan Rui curled up and endured the pain with his eyes closed.

The thin body quivered into a ball, and the knife in his hand had already slipped out of his hand.

Pulling scales was like deboning, his body twitched and rolled uncontrollably till fell directly from the rocking chair.

Lying on the cold ground, Yan Rui looked at his blood-stained leg. The skin and flesh could heal, but the scales that had been dug out could not be recovered, and the uneven calf was ugly.

The pain in his right leg slowly turned into numbness. Thinking that Duan Chen was still waiting for him to take the scales, Yan Rui didn’t care with bandaging directly pulling down the trousers.

After briefly wiping the blood stains on the ground, Yan Rui took out a clean tissue to pick up the snake scales and walked out of the room.

In a distance of fifteen meters, every time Yan Rui took a step, the wound rubbed against the trousers which was painful and felt like it burned.

After arriving and knocking at the door, this time the door opened without waiting for him to speak.

Duan Chen stood inside holding the doorknob, and naturally frowned when he saw him.

«Why did it take so long? And the medicine?»

Yan Rui held out both hands and handed the scales in his hands to Duan Chen’s eyes: «Here.»

Looking at the snake scales wrapped in paper towels, his frowning brows stretched slightly. This time Duan Chen didn’t think Yan Rui was dirty, and directly took the scales in his hand.

«Okay, you go back.»

«A’chen, when are you going back…» Yan Rui was trembling. Before he finished speaking, the weak and weak voice inside suddenly interrupted his words.

«A’chen, is it Yan Rui delivering the medicine?»

«It’s him.» Duan Chen’s tone was still cold, but it was much softer than with Yan Rui.

«Then let him come in and sit down, it’s cold outside.»

Duan Chen paused, half-heartedly uttered from his throat: «Yeah.»

He turned around, Yan Rui staggered to follow him, and when he entered, he raised his head and glanced at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran was handsome, and although you couldn’t say good looking, he had a good temperament and a good figure but his skin was sickly white and appeared weaker. People couldn’t help but want to hold them in their arms. .

At this moment, he was lying on the bed in a blue medical suit, and when he saw Duan Chen leading Yan Rui in, he smiled slightly and stretched his hand out of the quilt to face Duan Chen.

When Duan Chen saw that, he walked over to help him out of the bed and let him lean in his arms.

«How? Is it still uncomfortable?»

Duan Chen’s voice came into Yan Rui’s ears, it was warmer than the heating in the room.

Yan Rui couldn’t help showing a bit of envy, staring stupidly at the two people cuddling together in the hospital bed.

He thought, it would be great if Duan Chen could treat him as well as Zhou Ran.

Thinking about it and he felt that he was too greedy. A’chen didn’t need to be so kind to him. As long as he talked with him and pat his head from time to time, he would be very happy.

Just like… ten thousand years ago.

«It’s getting better.» Zhou Ran glanced at Yan Rui indifferently. «This time I have to thank Yan Rui very much, If it weren’t for him for coming, I’m afraid I would die of pain here.»

Duan Chen sneered: «This is what he should do, thank him for what?» To put it mildly, Yan Rui was just a drug that could save Zhou Ran to him.

«You can’t say that. People have to know how to be grateful. Anyway, it’s not much to say thank you.» Zhou Ran looked at Yan Rui sincerely, «Yan Rui, thank you, if it weren’t for your blood, I’m afraid I would have died much earlier.»

Yan Rui said, «Your welcome, this is what I should do.»

As long as A’chen was happy, he was willing to do anything.

He thought in his heart that he wanted to be nice to Duan Chen but pity was that Duan Chen couldn’t hear a word, and even if he heard it, he would mock him.

Yan Rui standing there was really being an eyesore, Duan Chen threw the snake scales on the table: «Take the medicine and grind it into powder.»

Yan Rui took out his hand to reach for it. There were utensils in the ward, and he skillfully threw the snake scales into the grinding tools to grind them.

He lowered his head and heard Zhou Ran’s question: «Is this the medicine Yan Rui brought over?»

«Um.»

«Every time I take the medicine he brought, my body feels better and it doesn’t hurt. A’chen, do you think my illness can be cured?»

Looking at Zhou Ran’s pale face, Duan Chen graciously touched his head, and calmly said: «Don’t worry, as long as Yan Rui is there, your illness will be cured.»

Yan Rui took an abrupt breath. His eyes were red and hot and his heart turned cold. Zhou Ran only knew that the blood on his body could be used on him and the «medicine» he took out could cure him, but he didn’t know that he was a snake. To save him, he had used his flesh and blood in exchange for his life.

After knowing that his body was getting better, Zhou Ran felt happy from the bottom of his heart that couldn’t be put into words. He praised Yan Rui and said: «It’s nice to have Yan Rui. He not only looks good, but also has a good heart.»

Person looks good?

Yan Rui was lean with a height of 1.7 meters. He didn’t have the slightest bloat under his thick clothes and even made him look even more petite.

Standing there weakly, one couldn’t tell that he was a snake but looked more like…a little fox.

Duan Chen had rarely looked at Yan Rui carefully, but his appearance was undoubtedly the most exquisite he had ever seen. No words could describe how beautiful words he was, it wasn’t enough to describe his good looks. Only one sentence, those who saw would want to sleep with, could express some of it.

But what’s the use of looking good? Leaving aside his appearance, he was just a dirty beast on the inside and he wasn’t even smart enough; dumb and dull.
