Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 125 It's a fly, not Teacher Cang.

We never expected that the spider wouldn't eat us, but instead wanted our help. But what help can we give you?

What else can we do to help you besides feeding you? I'm almost in tears, the more I think about it, the more likely this seems.

But then the spider suddenly became very sad and started to tell a story. What could we do but listen without moving?

In any case, it's definitely not possible for us to escape now.

So the spider began to tell its story.

"It was a sunny day, and I was sunbathing on my webpage when I suddenly felt food being delivered to my door."

"Because I felt my web moving, I looked towards the center of it. There was a little fly playing happily in the center of the web, jumping around and having a great time," the spider said slowly, as if reminiscing about the best of times.

"Why didn't the fly get stuck?" Dafu asked, puzzled.

Holy crap, you're actually listening to a story? You even asked why? What's the point of asking why? Just go with whatever the spider says.

Our goal is to please the spider; maybe he'll let us go once he's had his fill of telling stories?

Why are you so serious? I'm speechless. Can't you just listen to the story quietly?

"Don't worry, we'll get to that later," the spider replied to Dafu's question.

"I was very curious to see that cute little fly playing on my web, because usually my web is a synonym for death for them."

"This little fly wasn't afraid at all; it was playing so happily on it. And if it was playing so happily, how come it didn't get stuck in my net? So, I crawled over to the little fly out of curiosity."

The tone sounds like something out of a romance drama. It would be interesting if I got curious. It could be a harbinger of love! I've only ever heard of wolves falling in love with sheep. Could it be a spider falling in love with a fly?

Does it have to be so shameless?

"I slowly crawled over, thinking I would scare the little fly, but to my surprise, the little fly said to me, 'Big monster, do you live here? This place is so much fun, can I play a little longer?'"

"The sound of that little fly was so pleasant, like a warm current blowing in the cold winter, like a spring in the middle of summer, that I didn't even have the slightest intention of eating it."

"You know, no other animal has ever dared to call me that before, so I'm very curious. I want to see how this little fly dares to be so rude," the spider said, lost in its memories.

Holy crap, isn't this the trope of the domineering CEO falling in love with me that I was worried about? Does it have to be this ridiculous? Have those melodramatic dramas already poisoned the animal kingdom?

I looked at the spider, both amused and exasperated. What did it mean? All I knew was that the offspring of a horse and a donkey is a mule.

But what the heck is this offspring of a spider and a fly? I've never even heard of it.

"We had a lot of fun that day. Later we found out that the little fly had gotten some tree sap on it somewhere, which is why it was able to play on my net. I carefully cleaned the little fly."

Oh my god, this reminds me of a very famous news story recently. It's about a goat that was supposed to be eaten by a tiger, but the tiger didn't eat the goat and instead lived with it.

In the end, the goat not only wasn't eaten, but it also grew fat for over twenty years, which went viral online.

"Later, that little fly often came to play here. We would watch fireflies, stars, and the moon together, talking about everything from mushrooms on tree branches to eagles in the sky. I promised her that I was only worthy of watching fireflies, stars, and the moon with her in this life, talking about everything from mushrooms on tree branches to eagles in the sky. And she promised me that she would only watch fireflies, stars, and the moon with me, talking about everything from mushrooms on tree branches to eagles in the sky."

"But..." The spider's expression was very sorrowful, as if it had suffered a great blow. Its face was contorted, but to be honest, its face was already contorted to me, and now it was even more contorted.

Wow, I didn't expect this spider to be such a master storyteller! The story was full of twists and turns, and the use of "but" was particularly well done.

If he had started charging for it at this point, he definitely had the potential to become a top author. Luckily, he didn't become the kind of person I despise the most—someone who digs a hole and doesn't fill it.

He continued, looking very distressed, "Without realizing it, I have fallen in love with that little fly, and my heart has become one with it."

"Damn it, is this all you're going to say about the really important turning point? What happened to the climax? You're just writing nonsense as soon as it's released? How can you do this to your two listeners? I'm giving you a bad review," I complained helplessly.

And is "falling in love" a verb or an adjective? Please clarify. A verb means physical attraction, while an adjective means emotional attraction.

You beast, what did you do to that little fly? What did you do?

"Just when we were in love, bad news came: the little fly's parents were strongly against our union because..." The spider paused here, clearly distressed.

I thought something earth-shattering would prevent them from getting together. I thought they were biologically incompatible anyway.

“But I know that my ancestors had a feud. My parents ate that little fly’s uncle, who was also the little fly’s mother’s younger brother. So our love was cruelly destroyed,” the spider said painfully.

"Hmm..." I was speechless.

This is just like the plot of those martial arts dramas from the 1980s! In them, two young people fall in love, only to find out in the end that the person they love is the descendant of their enemy.

That despair, that helplessness, that grief, that...

Anyway, it was all kinds of complicated situations, but the plot became outdated later. I don't know how modern editors can be so heartless, often making their half-brothers fall in love with their sisters.

I never expected to encounter such a melodramatic plot. Indeed, art originates from life but transcends it.

"The little fly was forced by its family to go back, to leave me, to go away from me. I wanted to save the little fly, I wanted to elope with the little fly, I wanted to flee to the ends of the earth with the little fly, but, but..." The guy stopped there.
