Watching Bai Qingqing eating the food he cooked seriously, Muir felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. After she was done with the food, he immediately passed her a piece of animal skin.
He remembered that she liked cleanliness a lot. After eating, she must wipe her mouth clean.
Bai Qingqing extended her hand toward him as he expected, but Muir didnât pass it to her. He moved the animal skin directly to Bai Qingqingâs lips and gently wiped her mouth.
Bai Qingqingâs face heated up and she snatched the animal skin to wipe her mouth herself. âIâll do it myself.â
Muir was disappointed, but he didnât show it on his face. He nodded and replied before taking away the bowl and chopsticks.
Curtis and Winston were sleeping, the leopard cubs were hidden deeply, and Anâan and Parker werenât at home either. Only Bai Qingqing and Muir were awake. It felt too quiet.
Bai Qingqing put her index fingers together and twirled a few rounds before finding a topic. âErm... Letâs go and check out the tree bark.â
âAlright.â Muir instantly got up, his reaction so fast that it appeared a little unnatural. His focus was clearly constantly on her.
Bai Qingqing pretended not to see Muirâs embarrassing state. She didnât wait for him and left the bedroom first after putting on her grass slippers.
The weather had been clear for two days and the temperature became higher. The sun made it unbearable for females.
Bai Qingqing quickly walked to the shade of a tree, picking up a stick from the side and poking the tree bark that had been soaked in the water for so long that it had turned soft and was now a milky-white color.
âYesterday... Iâm sorry.â Muir stood behind her, the sunlight casting a dark shadow on the ground next to him.
Bai Qingqing knew that he was referring to the matter about the leopard cubs. She immediately said, âItâs not your fault. Moreover, this isnât something bad either. Male children need to be put through hardships. If they donât experience hardships when they are young, theyâll only be able to eat grass when they get older.â
Muir couldnât help but smile, no longer feeling burdened by this matter after she consoled him. He subconsciously said his heartfelt thoughts, âYouâre really good.â
Bai Qingqingâs face instantly heated up, and she lowered her head to look at her reflection in the water, poking occasionally at the tree bark.
âItâs a little boring. Why donât we find something to do?â Bai Qingqing heard herself saying this, but before Muir reacted, she was the first one to think lewdly. Her reddened face flushed up even more, and she had a strong urge to swallow back what she had said.
No, no, no, there was no way that Muir would know what she was thinking. He wouldnât think lewdly about this.
However, Muir had heard the conversation between Curtis and herself, and thus his train of thoughts went in a lewd direction at the same time as Bai Qingqingâs. His breathing instantly halted and he stiffened.
However, he thought of the same thing as Bai Qingqing, thinking that he had only thought of this because he had always been looking forward to it.
Forcing himself to calm down, Muir tried his best to speak in a normal tone, âAlright. What do you want to do?â
Bai Qingqing exhaled, thought about it for a moment, then said, âLetâs go look for trees that are suitable to be made into paper.â
âOkay.â
Muir turned to head into the kitchen, removing his battered animal skin skirt, then came out after turning into his beast form.
Bai Qingqing washed her hands and then docilely waited for him in the shade. When she saw Muir coming out, she immediately put on her signature smile.
Muirâs footsteps paused for an instant, his pupils reflecting his beloved female. He felt that life was really tranquil and good.
A life like this was not lived in vain.
âWow! The wind is no longer cold now! It feels so comfortable!â Bai Qingqing extended her arms and enjoyed the windâs embrace. This was the first time she had sat on Muirâs back for the sake of having fun. She suddenly realized that she had missed a lot of wondering experiences.
âIâm really envious of you. If I can choose, I also want to be an eagle beastman in my next life. Iâll be able to fly freely in the air,â Bai Qingqing squinted and said enviously.
