Parker eventually finished taking her measurements. He then sat on his grass nest and sewed a top using a needle made of fishbone with a serious and focused look on his face. His round, furry leopard ears on top of his head of brown hair would shake in the wind every now and then.
Bai Qingqing thought Parker was reliable since he seemed like he actually knew how to sew.
The clothes were finished within half an hour. Bai Qingqing was full of anticipation as she took them, but her facial expression stiffened when she actually saw them.
F*ck!
Was he embroidering a centipede at the seam? Or was that an irregular-shaped S?
Bai Qingqing instantly felt like sheâd been tricked. His workmanship was so bad that she couldnât help but wonder if Parker had done it on purpose. She couldnât help but grab Parkerâs skirt and look at it. When she moved the fur on his skirt away, she realized that the stitches on Parkerâs clothes were even more unsightly. They were several times sparser, so much so that she could see the skin underneath.
At least the stitches on hers were very tight.
Parkerâs face turned red and snatched away the clothes from Bai Qingqing. âIf you think theyâre sewn badly, you can sew the clothes yourself.â
He was extremely regretful that he only learned such skills after leaving his original tribe, and even then, he didnât do a proper job of learning them. Had he known earlier, he would have practiced sewing clothes more.
Knowing that Parker had painstakingly made the clothes for her, Bai Qingqing felt guilty about her reaction. âNo, itâs pretty good. The stitches are very tight.â
Parkerâs eyes instantly lit up, as if they were lightbulbs with increased voltage. âReally?â
âYeah.â Bai Qingqing nodded sincerely. âIâll put it on after taking a shower.â
The sun was setting at this point, and the sky above Camel Hump Valley first turned dark. The temperature dropped rapidly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The beastmen quickly went down to the river to take a shower while the water in the river was still warm. The males were at the north end of the river, while the females were at the south end of the river. Both groups bathed separately.
Parker didnât allow Bai Qingqing to bathe at the south end of the river as he didnât want her appearance to be exposed. He borrowed a large stone basin from the villageâs doctor, filled it with water, and got her to bathe in the house. The water was already muddy after Bai Qingqing washed her face, but Parker didnât mind. He ran to the river and filled it with clean water without a second word.
Bai Qingqing wet the towel and wordlessly looked at Parker again and again. Seeing that he was still in the house, she said, âIâm going to shower. Please step outside for a bit.â
Unsatisfied, Parker immediately protested. âDonât you have any self-awareness? Weâre mates now! Mates! Who kicks out their mate during a shower?â
Bai Qingqingâs face flushed angrily. She didnât want to marry at such a young age! But... she wasnât sure if she could defend herself against the group of beastmen outside. Hence, she bottled up her anger and didnât refute what Parker said about them being mates.
âThat wonât do either. Get out, get out!â Bai Qingqing walked over and pushed Parker towards the door.
When Parker reached the door, he reached out and closed it.
It immediately became dark in the house. Bai Qingqing couldnât see anything as her eyes hadnât adjusted to the light.
âWhat are you doing?â Bai Qingqingâs heart was in her mouth as she nervously stepped away from Parker.
Parker replied, âI closed the door so that other males wonât peep at you. Quickly go shower. Youâll catch a cold if you shower when itâs cold outside.â
So that was what Parker was trying to do. She thought he was going to force himself on her.
Bai Qingqing let out a sigh of relief. She didnât dare to provoke Parker either. It was dark inside the house, and Parker probably wouldnât be able to see anyway. Hence, she felt her way to the stone basin and faced away from Parker as she took off her clothes and washed up.
Mmm! Taking a shower felt so comfortable after sweating so much.
Parker, on the other hand, was stunned the moment he saw Bai Qingqingâs nude body. His vertical pupils dilated, allowing his eyes to absorb as much light as possible and take in the beautiful scenery in the house.
