He and It

Chapter 160: The Snake of the Pharisees (XXVI)

Views:

That night, Xie Ning was drunk, because the wine he drank was all newly brewed, sweet at first, not very sour, but with a strong aftertaste. He drank one cup after another, like drinking Coke, and for a while he couldn't stand the aftertaste, and the Echidna in his eyes became double.

The drunk Xie Ning didn't cry or make a fuss, she just sat there stupidly, smiling foolishly with her mouth closed. Seeing Dolos's small and cute appearance, Echidna's heart melted. He moved forward in a winding way, letting his lover snuggle in his arms. In Xie Ning's eyes, he was like a dancing snake with a dancing tail.

"I can draw this scene," Xie Ning said dazedly, hugging Echidna's neck like a little koala, her fingers unconsciously inserted into his cold long hair, loosely grasping a large handful, "but I can't record your singing... Radio, I want a radio! Um, no, it should be... recording? Radio!"

Echidna didn't understand what he was talking about, so she could only touch his head lovingly. A wine glass was knocked over during the picnic, and it soaked the corner of Xie Ning's clothes. As she walked along the road, the aroma of wine spread all the way.

Xie Ning closed his eyes and began to sing "I Want a Radio" in the tune of Doraemon. It was not until Echidna held him and sank into the hot spring that he woke up, yelling "Fire", and then splashed around in the pool.

Echidna found it funny, and the demon god had no evil thoughts until Xie Ning threw herself on his chest, half crying and complaining incoherently that "there are butterflies in my stomach"... No way, his heart was filled with greedy murmurs of "Doros is so cute" and "I love Doros so much", and he decided to use his long forked snake tongue to detect whether the other party had butterflies, and he checked up and down several times.

"It seems there are no butterflies," Echidna comforted with satisfaction, "Don't worry, Dolos."

Xie Ning: “…”

Xie Ning had completely fallen into a coma and could no longer utter a word.

The days passed peacefully, flowing through the moist soil like water and merging into the underground river. Echidna was immersed in extraordinary happiness and gradually gained new interests in life. The activities that he had long been tired of also gained lasting joy in the process of experiencing with Dolos. He even learned to paint because he also wanted to engrave the image of his lover on hard gold and bronze through his own efforts.

Unfortunately, the power of the demon god lies in destruction, not creation. Therefore, even though Xie Ning carefully taught him the painting techniques using modern teaching methods, Echidna still had no understanding, let alone any talent. At most, he could draw some small stick figures with big heads and thin arms, poking around with swords that looked like tree branches.

Seeing such works, Xie Ning did not dislike it at all, but just laughed. He simply taught Echidna the theoretical methods of how to observe, how to generalize, and how to shape, and then let him play freely.

Echidna did not use a pen either. He was very interested in using his pointed armor to make very primitive rock carvings on the wall. When he drew a sheep, he used four thin lines to support a cloud, with two black dots on the cloud as eyes and two antennae as horns. When he drew a horse, he used four black lines, a large oval body, a small oval head, and a straight neck with four wavy lines. When he drew a person, it was even simpler, using only a square cloak and a triangular crown to distinguish the identity of the character.
