Taking the Exam

The dark and thin woman looked up at Ye Ling, her face expressionless.

"Auntie Tan, it's such a hot day. Are you going to town?" Wan Xue greeted the tanned and skinny woman before turning to Ye Ling. "Sister Lingling, don't be afraid. There are snakes in the bag."

What was that? Snake?

The color drained from Ye Ling's face, leaving her pale.

Perhaps Wan Xue shouldn't have told her what was in the bag!

Auntie Tan glanced at Wan Xue and nodded without saying anything. She walked past the two of them and quickly moved away.

Seeing Ye Ling's pale face, Wan Xue apologized. "I'm sorry, Sister Lingling. I didn't know you were afraid of snakes."

Ye Ling managed a weak smile. "It's alright."

As they walked back, Ye Ling thought about the recent incident and felt a bit embarrassed. She hadn't seen the snake, yet she had reacted so strongly.
