It was just a meal. It didnât have much influence if he were to eat or not. Moreover, he disliked the food here. He only couldnât bear to not eat the food considering how his mate had used up precious money in exchange for it.
When the two of them left, the waitersâ gazes werenât friendly when looking at them. It seemed that their brutality had been spread out in the shop.
Bai Qingqing rubbed her nose and quickened her footsteps.
After leaving the restaurant, she stuck out her tongue playfully and said, smiling, âWe wonât go back to that place in the future.â
Looking at how Bai Qingqing was acting, Curtis felt that life right now was very interesting. He was about to say something when someone suddenly reached from behind into the tote bag he was holding.
The red packet was placed in an obvious spot in the tote bag, and judging from the bulge, there were clearly a few notes inside it. Even an ordinary person would take a few more looks, let alone a pickpocket.
Curtisâs speed was faster than that hand. Before it reached into the bag, Curtis had already grabbed onto that wrist tightly.
âAh!â
An agonizing cry suddenly rang out. Bai Qingqing was given a scare and jumped up. When she turned and saw someone behind her, she was given another shock.
Seeing that Curtis was grabbing onto the person, she immediately spoke up before making sense of the situation. âCurtis, let him go!â
Curtis stopped his action. The person drew back his wrist, which had an indentation left on it, looking at Curtis with horror.
His wrist bones hurt a lot. He even suspected that if the girl hadnât stopped this guy, his hand would be broken off from the brute force.
What kind of grip was that? Even in the movies, there wasnât such a strong main character! Was he dreaming?
Many people looked over, and Bai Qingqing finally sorted out her thoughts. She held the red packet in her hand and stared warily at the skinny and tall pickpocket, saying, âYouâre stealing?â
Only then did the pickpocket come back to his senses, refusing to admit to it and rebutting, âWho-whoâs stealing? Donât spout nonsense!â
After saying that, the pickpocket turned to run off. Neither Bai Qingqing nor the surrounding spectators believed him.
Bai Qingqing placed the red packet into her pantâs pocket, still lingering with fear. She couldnât be bothered to call the police and pouted, saying, âThank goodness for your quick reaction. Otherwise, weâd be in trouble.â
Curtis asked, âThis is how one gets money?â
Bai Qingqing was stunned for a moment. After she realized what he was saying, she gasped and immediately said, âOf course not! Thatâs illegal! You must never do that!â
Curtis revealed a baffled expression, then asked, âWhat if I take it openly?â
Bai Qingqing was even more horrified. âThatâs even worse. Thatâs robbery. The crime is greater.â
As a beastman who would take the life of another easily, Curtis was speechless toward human rules.
âThen, where does money come from?â Curtis then recalled how Snow had given money to the restaurant earlier and asked, âWhere did that food come from? It should be fine if I catch other species as prey, right?â
Bai Qingqing smiled. âThereâs no need to be so troublesome. One can earn money with a job.â
Recalling what others were speculating about Curtis when they had gone out earlier, Bai Qingqingâs eyes gleamed. She backed off a few steps and assessed him. âWhy donât you apply to be a model? It should be a job that can bring in a lot of money.â
Hearing the words âbring in a lot of moneyâ, Curtis made the decision and said firmly, âAlright! Iâll go be a moder.â
But what was a moder?
âItâs model. Take note of the pronunciation for the last syllable.â Bai Qingqing corrected him. She had just mentioned it in passing, but after seeing Curtisâs firm attitude, she started putting more serious thought into this.
âAlright, then. Letâs go to a cyber cafe to search for information.â
