The next day, Bai Qingqing brought up the matter of working part-time during breakfast.

  Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai exchanged a glance. Daddy Bai asked, “Are you very short on money? Alright, I’ll give you the money you used to buy the phone. Don’t fool around and just focus on your studies.”


  Bai Qingqing first felt elated, but then persisted. “I want to train myself and gain some life experience. I can also earn some pocket money while doing that.”


  When Bai Qingqing talked, Furry seemed to have noticed Curtis’s scent and kept on trying to crawl up onto her legs, trying to take a whiff between her legs. This made Bai Qingqing feel both awkward and guilty, and she kicked Furry a few times.

  Daddy Bai nodded, feeling consoled. He then said, “Alright, then be careful outside. Don’t get cheated.” He then glared at Furry, saying sternly, “Scram to one side!”


  Furry let out a howl, looking more pitiful than when he was kicked by Bai Qingqing. He then ran off to the dog cage.

  Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief and started eating breakfast happily.

  After having breakfast, Daddy Bai still gave Bai Qingqing 500 yuan before he went off to work. He told her not to get too tired, touching Bai Qingqing.

  After Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai went out, Bai Qingqing was also planning to head out.

  Bai Xiaofan had kept quiet the entire morning, occasionally throwing glances at his sister. He also noticed Furry’s abnormality.

  When Bai Qingqing returned to her room, he followed her to her door.

  “What? If you have something to say, then say it.” Bai Xiaofan glared at him.

  Bai Xiaofan tugged the hems of her clothes, took a look at the door, then lowered his voice and said, “Is he still here?”


  “En,” Bai Qingqing replied honestly.

  Although Bai Xiaofan had gotten used to the idea of getting into a relationship at a young age, this was the first time he was seeing it in person. He gasped. He looked at his sister with an additional hint of strangeness to it.

  Bai Qingqing rubbed his head vigorously. “That’s your future brother-in-law. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”


  Bai Xiaofan didn’t believe it. Deciding on a lifelong matter when one was in high school wasn’t reliable at all, let alone when that guy was so outstanding that he didn’t look like a normal person.

  “Hey, are you going out today? If you aren’t, then give the keys to me. I’ll go make a set……” Bai Qingqing said.

  Bai Xiaofan immediately said, “I want to go out and play, too. I’m not lending it to you.”


  “Then help me make a set. I’ll get it from you tonight,” Bai Qingqing said.

  Bai Xiaofan looked very reluctant. She threw out a 100 yuan note from what their dad had given her, waving it in front of him.

  “Are you going to help?”


  “Yes, definitely!” Bai Xiaofan nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming.

  “Rascal.” Bai Qingqing smiled and scolded, giving the money to him.

  Since the matter was already exposed, Bai Qingqing stopped trying to hide things in front of her brother. She opened the door and said, “Curtis, let’s go.”


  Bai Xiaofan was still secretly feeling happy after getting the money. Caught off-guard, he saw Curtis and instantly cowered and stuffed the money into his pocket.

  “Alright.” Curtis carried the backpack that Bai Qingqing had packed on his back, then walked out in huge strides, giving Bai Xiaofan an amiable glance.

  Bai Xiaofan returned a smile, in a behavior that was even better than when he was before their dad. Bai Qingqing found this amazing.

  “Woof woof! Woof woof woof!” Furry ran over agitatedly. It circled around Curtis crazily.

  “Furry! Go away.” Bai Qingqing smiled and drove Furry away. However, Furry’s body was too stocky, and it still managed to run over to Curtis’s side.

  Furry was extremely excited to have finally found the source of the scent. It sank into its uncontrollable joy.

  It was planning to use its habitual means of “hugging the leg” when it looked up and met a pair of icy-cold blood-red eyes.
