  “En.” That seafood meal wasn’t up to her alley, and Bai Qingqing felt very unsatisfied. She immediately dashed back to her bedroom, let Curtis in, then ran into the kitchen.

  Furry wagged its tail and sat down by Bai Qingqing’s side, having its tongue sticking out and drooling, its eyes filled with craving.

  Looking at Furry, Bai Qingqing thought of her leopard cubs. Unable to bear with it, she picked up a piece of meat and fed it to Furry.

  Furry bit onto the meat and Bai Qingqing quickly pulled the chopsticks back, not letting any saliva get onto it. She had been trained in this technique when dealing with the leopard cubs.

  Furry’s tail wagged even more vigorously after eating meat. Bai Qingqing found it amusing as she wondered to herself,

  Curtis had already entered the room for so long, but Furry hadn’t noticed him yet.

  It was really foolish.

  Bai Qingqing no longer had any expectations that Furry could keep watch at home. It’d be good if it didn’t run off with the thieves.

  They said that mother and daughter were linked by their heart. Bai Qingqing was thinking about thieves when Mommy Bai also thought about this.

  Mommy Bai was doing housework when she saw her daughter at the dining table from the corner of her eyes. She asked, “Did a thief get into our house? Your father lost a shirt, a pair of pants, and a pair of sandals a few days ago. It’s as if someone put on a set of clothes and left. But I’ve also lost a bra. It couldn’t have been a female who stole your daddy’s clothes to wear, could it? It’s too strange.”


  Bai Qingqing almost choked, coughing a few times with her mouth full. She hurriedly swallowed the food and then said awkwardly, “They might have been hidden in some corner and missed out. Who would steal old clothes to wear?”


  “That’s true.” Mommy Bai was still very perplexed and absentmindedly wiped the glass coffee table and switched on the television while she was at it.

  The Olympics competition immediately flashed on the television screen. After Mommy Bai was done with the household chores, she sat on the sofa to watch television.

  “Sigh, Muir’s competition is over. There’s nothing interesting to watch anymore.” Mommy Bai sighed.

  Bai Qingqing paused, then turned and looked toward her mommy with uncertainty. “You know about Muir as well?”


  “Of course. Muir is so popular that even the old men and ladies downstairs who don’t watch television shows know of him. Is your mom so outdated that I’m more secluded than them?” Mommy Bai said nonchalantly.

  Bai Qingqing forcefully gulped down the food that she hadn’t chewed much on, taking her bowl and walking over to the sofa in front of the television and sitting down.

  Mommy Bai switched the channels, feeling bored, then said, “It’s a pity that you guys are in school and there was only your daddy and me to watch Muir’s competition. It’d be more lively if our entire family watched it together.”


  As Mommy Bai said that, she turned and looked toward her daughter, struck by a realization. “Oh right, you were in school, so how do you know about Muir?”


  Bai Qingqing ate while saying, “The school let us watch the Olympics for the duration of one lesson.”


  “Seriously, how can the school let you guys watch television?” Although Mommy Bai said this, she had a strange satisfactory expression on her face. “It seems like Muir is really popular. Your school is quite understanding, too.”


  Bai Qingqing’s lips twitched. All the good and the bad perspectives had been covered by her mom alone.

  Muir’s figure suddenly appeared on the television screen. Mommy Bai quickly changed back the channel and said excitedly, “It’s a repeat of the broadcast. We haven’t watched this competition yet. Quickly ask your daddy to come over. Call your brother, too. Let’s watch it together.”


  “Oh.” Bai Qingqing immediately took her bowl and went to call them.

  This was the only television they had at home. There was also a computer in the room of Bai Qingqing’s parents. Daddy Bai was also searching for exciting clips on the computer when he heard his daughter’s message. He came out immediately.

  Bai Xiaofan dawdled for a moment before also leaving his bedroom without much interest.

  “Sister, you said that you’ll bring food back for me. Where is it?” When Bai Xiaofan passed by Bai Qingqing’s room, he grabbed the doorknob to her room.
