On this day, Xia Xiao didn't eat a single piece of the snake meat. Even when Gao Jiaxing held out a bowl of snake meat soup to her, she refused by shaking her head, unwilling to eat it.
"I won't eat it," declared Xia Xiao, who no longer lacked meat and was also too scared to eat it.
Gao Jiaxing stared intently at Xia Xiao and said only two words, "No ambition," before he walked away.
Xia Xiao remained silent until Yang Xuehua came over and asked, "What's the matter, too scared to eat snake meat?"
Xia Xiao shook her head again, "Too scared." She was now afraid that she would dream about snakes at night. Unfortunately, everyone was in one dormitory, always in each other's presence, so there were hardly any secrets; she couldn't hide in her space to sleep.
