Xia laid on top of Longs firm stomach. His midriff raised and fell rapidly. "Why is your breathing so rapid?" he whispered.
A loud sigh was heard from the little snake.
Xia got up and gazed at him. The little snake was staring up at the sky in a daze. 'Did I break him?' he thought in worry. He rushed up and waved in front of his face.
But the little snake still did not reply. He had a silly smile on his face and a content look in his eyes.
The little crayfish hugged him to his chest and whispered, "Looks like I really did break you,"
After lying there for minutes, Long finally came around.
"Okay, it's time to leave," Xia whispered into his ears.
Long hugged him closer and whined. "I don't want too. I want to cuddle more,"
"Oh, come on Long it's almost dawn the humans will be waiting for us," Xia said in a serious voice. "Besides, the grass is wet and sticky,"
