During the heavy rainy season, the weather would change very quickly. When the dark clouds in the distance drifted right above them, the heavy rain came gushing down immediately.

  “Quickly! We’re reaching home!” Bai Qingqing hugged Curtis’s neck and looked to the back, shouting excitedly.

  The sound of rain filled her ears, but no rain fell on them.

  This was a burst of moving rain. They were chased by the rain all the way back home. Bai Qingqing kept cheering them on, laughing loudly as she watched how the rain was right before her eyes but didn’t get on her.

  Curtis slithered into the courtyard. Half of his tail at the back was wet from the rain. Bai Qingqing was so agitated that she kept on twisting around in his arms, having a strong impulse to get down and run by herself.

  Finally, one second before the heavy rain came, Curtis and Bai Qingqing entered through the doors.

  Bai Qingqing was about to cheer when a strong gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the wind and rain to gush in through the door, slapping her face with quite a strong force.

  The smile on Bai Qingqing’s face cracked. She was rendered speechless.

  Damn it. To think this worked.

  Curtis’s chest trembled slightly, and his cold laughter rang into her ears. Bai Qingqing restrained her expression, tried to pat down her messy hair, and then slid down from his embrace.

  Bai Qingqing’s curly hair was completely drenched from the rain, and her dark brown hair reflected an ink-like black, with a lot of small purple flowers entangled in it. A few strands of dark and curly hair stuck to her face, making her small face appear even fairer. Due to her excitement, it was also flushing with a faint pink color.

  Curtis’s smile turned gentle as he raised his hand to remove a flower entangled by Bai Qingqing’s hair. He said adoringly, “You’re all wet. Do you feel cold?”


  Before he said anything, Bai Qingqing didn’t feel cold. Once she got reminded, she shuddered, feeling that the room was filled with a cold wind. She nodded honestly. “I am.”


  At this moment, Parker also came running back. When he heard that, he didn’t stop and ran right for the kitchen.

  “Go back to the room first.” Curtis then carried Bai Qingqing again, heading for the bedroom in large strides.

  Winston was feeding An’an noodles in the bedroom. He had heard the commotion outside and held back on his impulse to rush out to receive them and waited for them to come in.

  Winston only stopped feeding her when Curtis actually stepped into the bedroom. Before he turned his head, he smelled a light floral scent.

  He felt a little puzzled, and when his gaze landed on his mate, who was in a forlorn state, he was stunned.

  Bai Qingqing was covered in flowers, and her waist-long hair was decorated with light purple flowers, just like stars. The hem of her dress was decorated with flower vines, and she was holding a flower garland. Together with her beautiful smiling face, she looked like a fairy who had walked out from the flowers.

  Winston was stunned for a moment and forgot to greet her.

  Bai Qingqing felt embarrassed by his gaze. She felt that she was in a sorry plight and quickly turned her head to remove the flowers in her hair, urging Curtis to help her with it.

  “There’s a Chinese wisteria forest nearby. The flowers are very beautiful. We were playing there, and I ended up in this state,” Bai Qingqing explained.

  Winston nodded, placing An’an on the bed, and then walked over to help her tidy her hair as well.

  “Didn’t you go to transport food?” Winston had been unconscious for two days and then stayed at home after waking up. However, he just needed to ask to find out about the situation in the village. During the time they went out to play, he had already figured out the situation in the village and at home. He knew that Curtis should still be on the way right now.

  Curtis squinted his eyes, his voice sounding a little displeased. “They were playing too crazily, and Snow unconsciously summoned me.”
