Now that things were getting on the right track for Curtis, Bai Qingqing felt much more at ease. She tilted her head and looked outside the window. The architecture slowly reversed, and the vehicles opposite them speedily passed by leaving a trail of smoke behind.

  “It’s already been a day. Why hasn’t Muir found me yet?” Bai Qingqing started worrying. Being a reptile, Curtis could stealthily climb his way to her via the underground sewers. Whereas Muir, who flew in the skies, would definitely be exposed if he were to fly at a low altitude!

  Would he be captured and locked away in a zoo?

  Bai Qingqing was on the brink of tears.

  Beastmen tended to be alert and careful. Having realized that there were no beastmen here, Muir likely wouldn’t recklessly transform and make himself stand out.

  She could only keep an eye on the news for him and cozy up to some of her friends to borrow their phones.

  On the way home, Bai Qingqing took Curtis to the supermarket and spent tens of yuan on daily necessities. All that was left of her 1,000 yuan spare funds was 400 yuan.

  Plus the traveling expenses and allowance that she brought along, and also the money she had borrowed from Tang Li, she had 480 yuan in total.

  Bai Qingqing kept 130 yuan on her and the remaining 350 yuan was kept in the wardrobe in her room.

  “Keep this money with you to buy food. You can look for buffets.” Bai Qingqing wrote the word “buffet” on the book, then ripped the page off and handed it to Curtis. “Look for this word. I’ll bring you to two other eateries after school to help you familiarize yourself with the surroundings.”


  At the thought of the heavily seasoned foods, Curtis felt a dryness in his mouth. He drank another big cup of tap water.

  They were so poor that they couldn’t even afford mineral water now.

  “I’ll eat when you come back,” said Curtis.

  “How will that do?” Bai Qingqing was worried about him. After some thought, she kept her things away.

  “I’d better bring you around first. Let’s go.”


  Before she finished clearing up, Bai Qingqing was pinned on the empty bed plank. She found herself looking into a pair of blood-red and fervent eyes.

  “I only want you to accompany me.” Curtis pressed his forehead against his mate’s. Sensing her warmth, he narrowed his eyes in comfort and pressed his lips against Bai Qingqing’s.

  The moment Bai Qingqing opened her mouth, she felt an icy tongue wrapped around her own tongue. She widened her eyes and gazed at his enlarged face, a flush creeping onto her cheeks.

  Under Curtis’s passionate advance, Bai Qingqing’s body went limp. Only when an icy hand felt its way to her lower body did she snap out of her trance.

  “No!” Bai Qingqing propped herself up and clamped her legs together. “I…… I need to go to school now! Besides, it’s dirty here.”


  There was also a faint pinkness on Curtis’s handsome face. As he flicked out his tongue, an intense desire was revealed.

  But he could detect the odor of other animals on this bed. Not wanting Snow to be stained by this smell, he resisted his fiery desire and got off from his spouse’s body.

  With a flushed face, Bai Qingqing pressed down that “mountain peak” and mumbled, “Next week. Next week after I make the preparations let’s……”


  Curtis smiled, lust evident from his raspy voice. “Okay.”


  Although he couldn’t go all the way, he still very much anticipated such intimate interaction with Snow.

  Feeling a moist sensation under her palm, Bai Qingqing’s face turned even redder. In a tiny voice that resembled the moan of a mosquito, she said, “I think you didn’t interpret my words correctly. I meant the sort where we can go all the way.”


  Curtis paused and frowned.

  “You wish to continue giving birth?”


  Bai Qingqing shyly turned around. With her back facing him, she bowed her head even lower. “No, over here we have means of birth control. Err, I will keep some money to buy…… that.”
