Beauty and the Beasts

Chapter 1394: Crazy Shopping

“That can’t be! Muir was still in a competition two days ago!”

“Why don’t… we go over and ask? There are so many handsome guys that we won’t lose out, anyway.”

The two girls exchanged a lewd smile, looking like they were planning to come over.

Bai Qingqing heard a lot of discussions, too. After seeing some people looking at Muir and appearing as if they were coming over, she suddenly realized that Muir was a great star who was known by everyone in the country.

“This won’t do. Let’s hurry up.”

Bai Qingqing let go of Curtis and quickly walked over to Muir’s side, grabbed his wrist, and headed into a narrow but crowded alley. This place gave a narrow vision and it would be harder for others to recognize him.

Muir naturally had one arm around Bai Qingqing, though not touching her, to help her block the crowded human traffic.

The other three stayed around her in unison, pushing away the other people nearby.

Bai Qingqing was rendered speechless. What was with this feeling as if they were her bodyguards?

This behavior quickly garnered attention again. However, this time around, the attention was mostly on Bai Qingqing. With Parker and Curtis, who were more eye-catching than Muir, no one recognized Muir even though he was standing next to her.

When they passed by a departmental store, Bai Qingqing quickly pulled Muir in. It wasn’t as crowded inside, and they were able to act more normally.

Bai Qingqing bought a mask and put it on him before she started shopping.

Each of the four males pushed a trolley and followed behind her.

Every time Bai Qingqing chose a product, she’d pick four different colors according to their preferences and put them into their respective trolleys.

They had nothing and thus needed to buy everything. Toothbrush, toothpaste, face towel, bathroom cup, slippers, shower brushes… Many small items piled up in the trolleys in a short amount of time.

The amount naturally tallied up to a big sum. Thankfully, they weren’t short of money, so Bai Qingqing was generous for once, paying without any hesitation.

Bai Qingqing then took the lead to walk out of the departmental store, with four handsome men holding large plastic bags following behind her. Their solemn expressions made them look like they weren’t shopping but entering the battlefield.

Shopping for clothes was next. Winston only had a pair of pants and slippers, and they didn’t look good. Bai Qingqing bought for him first and the others didn’t say anything.

She took Winston’s hand and pointed to a shop selling mature menswear, saying, “What do you think of the clothes from that shop?”

However, Winston lowered his head to see their linked hands.

Bai Qingqing lowered her voice and said, smiling, “We’re buying clothes for you now. We’re a couple.”

The corner of Winston’s lips curled up slightly, and the scar on his face twisted as he did so, looking even scarier. However, having gotten used to it, Bai Qingqing found that scar adorable and couldn’t help but smile too.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Bai Qingqing pulled Winston and walked toward the shop, feeling heavy as if she was tugging a rock. The moment Winston started walking, it instantly felt easier on her.

The salesperson hesitated upon seeing him. She paused for two seconds before coming over.

“Hello, what kind of clothing would you like to buy?” The salesperson asked habitually.

When Bai Qingqing saw her expression, she felt that they might not be able to buy suitable clothes. Therefore, rather than picking aimlessly, she asked, “Are there any clothes that suit him? We need them urgently.”

As Bai Qingqing said this, she smiled awkwardly.

The salesperson took another look at Winston’s figure and thought about it for a while before bringing out an elastic short-sleeved cotton top as well as a pair of casual long pants of similar material.

“Do you have sizes for this? Show us the largest sized one,” Bai Qingqing said.

“Alright.” The salesperson smiled and quickly entered the storeroom to get more pieces.
