Beauty and the Beasts

It was already late when they reached home. Parker sent Bai Qingqing into the bedroom and then turned to head for the kitchen to prepare lunch for her.

Bai Qingqing was exposed to the wind in her thin clothing and was shivering from the cold. Even the bedroom’s warm air couldn’t stop her from shivering.

She picked up the blanket, covered herself up, then sat down on the warm stove.

Winston carried the child to her. Seeing that her face had turned green, he quickly used his big hands to hold onto her face.

The skin on Winston’s palms felt cold as ice, and he felt as if his heart also felt a pang of coldness.

“Why are you so cold? Where’s your coat?”

“I gave it to the little snake,” Bai Qingqing replied.

An’an lay on the bed-stove, looking at her and pouting her small pink mouth.

Bai Qingqing smiled and said, “An’an must be hungry. Mommy will feed you right away.”

She warmed up her hands on the bed-stove and then shivered as she undid her clothes. She didn’t expect that she couldn’t even exert any strength at all, even to undo her clothing. She steadied her hands and wanted to exert force, but they just kept on trembling as if she had gotten a stroke.

This feeling was a little strange, and Bai Qingqing let out a surprised “hmmm”.

Winston’s heart ached, and he immediately helped her to undo her clothing and carry An’an to her embrace.

As expected, Bai Qingqing wasn’t able to carry the child steadily either. She could only let Winston carry An’an while she ate.

Bai Qingqing decided to be lazy and not do anything, pressing her hands onto the stone slab to warm them up. She said sheepishly, “It’s a little cold outside.”

“You know it’s cold, yet you still gave your clothing to someone else.” Winston pulled a long face. His expression didn’t look different from usual, but Bai Qingqing could tell that he was displeased.

“Erm, the little snake has transformed,” Bai Qingqing said.

Winston said in surprise, “What?”

“We chanced upon it. He’s small and can’t come home. My heart really aches for him.” Bai Qingqing’s brows drooped, and she looked toward him. “Don’t scold me anymore. Even if I were to do everything again, I’d still give him my clothing.”

Winston sighed and rubbed her head helplessly. “I can send it to him.”

Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue. “I’ll remember it next time.”

The back of her hands laid on the stone slab was brushed by something furry. Bai Qingqing turned and looked over. It turned out to be Winston’s tail.

A teasing gleam flashed past in Bai Qingqing’s eyes, and she secretly raised her hand, suddenly grabbing tightly onto that long and thick white furry tail.

At this instant, Bai Qingqing felt that the body leaning against her abruptly jolted. She lowered her head and her lips curled up uncontrollably.

Hahahaha… She didn’t expect Winston’s reaction to be the same as Parker’s. Was this the sensitive area for all cat-typed beastmen?

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qingqing looked up at him, feigning innocence.

“It’s… it’s nothing.” Winston’s deep voice became even deeper. He merely pretended to draw out his tail casually, as if he wasn’t affected at all.

Of course, his action was mercilessly suppressed by Bai Qingqing.

Winston’s reclusive character was what made it interesting. Bai Qingqing bit her lip, preventing herself from bursting out in laughter. On the other hand, she continued to play around with Winston’s tail.

Winston’s body instantly stiffened up even more.

“Your tail is so thick!”

Bai Qingqing was facing Winston’s tail, with her head below his. Her lips finally could relax a bit and it curled up mischievously.

“Gulp.” Bai Qingqing heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva.

Uh… If she were to continue, then things would get out of hand.

Bai Qingqing was about to let go when her back was pressed down by a big hand, causing her body to pounce onto Winston’s chest.

An’an, who was happily drinking away, was clamped between the two of them.
