It was already late when they reached home. Parker sent Bai Qingqing into the bedroom and then turned to head for the kitchen to prepare lunch for her.
Bai Qingqing was exposed to the wind in her thin clothing and was shivering from the cold. Even the bedroomâs warm air couldnât stop her from shivering.
She picked up the blanket, covered herself up, then sat down on the warm stove.
Winston carried the child to her. Seeing that her face had turned green, he quickly used his big hands to hold onto her face.
The skin on Winstonâs palms felt cold as ice, and he felt as if his heart also felt a pang of coldness.
âWhy are you so cold? Whereâs your coat?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI gave it to the little snake,â Bai Qingqing replied.
Anâan lay on the bed-stove, looking at her and pouting her small pink mouth.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, âAnâan must be hungry. Mommy will feed you right away.â
She warmed up her hands on the bed-stove and then shivered as she undid her clothes. She didnât expect that she couldnât even exert any strength at all, even to undo her clothing. She steadied her hands and wanted to exert force, but they just kept on trembling as if she had gotten a stroke.
This feeling was a little strange, and Bai Qingqing let out a surprised âhmmmâ.
Winstonâs heart ached, and he immediately helped her to undo her clothing and carry Anâan to her embrace.
As expected, Bai Qingqing wasnât able to carry the child steadily either. She could only let Winston carry Anâan while she ate.
Bai Qingqing decided to be lazy and not do anything, pressing her hands onto the stone slab to warm them up. She said sheepishly, âItâs a little cold outside.â
âYou know itâs cold, yet you still gave your clothing to someone else.â Winston pulled a long face. His expression didnât look different from usual, but Bai Qingqing could tell that he was displeased.
âErm, the little snake has transformed,â Bai Qingqing said.
Winston said in surprise, âWhat?â
âWe chanced upon it. Heâs small and canât come home. My heart really aches for him.â Bai Qingqingâs brows drooped, and she looked toward him. âDonât scold me anymore. Even if I were to do everything again, Iâd still give him my clothing.â
Winston sighed and rubbed her head helplessly. âI can send it to him.â
Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue. âIâll remember it next time.â
The back of her hands laid on the stone slab was brushed by something furry. Bai Qingqing turned and looked over. It turned out to be Winstonâs tail.
A teasing gleam flashed past in Bai Qingqingâs eyes, and she secretly raised her hand, suddenly grabbing tightly onto that long and thick white furry tail.
At this instant, Bai Qingqing felt that the body leaning against her abruptly jolted. She lowered her head and her lips curled up uncontrollably.
Hahahaha... She didnât expect Winstonâs reaction to be the same as Parkerâs. Was this the sensitive area for all cat-typed beastmen?
âWhatâs the matter?â Bai Qingqing looked up at him, feigning innocence.
âItâs... itâs nothing.â Winstonâs deep voice became even deeper. He merely pretended to draw out his tail casually, as if he wasnât affected at all.
Of course, his action was mercilessly suppressed by Bai Qingqing.
Winstonâs reclusive character was what made it interesting. Bai Qingqing bit her lip, preventing herself from bursting out in laughter. On the other hand, she continued to play around with Winstonâs tail.
Winstonâs body instantly stiffened up even more.
âYour tail is so thick!â
Bai Qingqing was facing Winstonâs tail, with her head below his. Her lips finally could relax a bit and it curled up mischievously.
âGulp.â Bai Qingqing heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva.
Uh... If she were to continue, then things would get out of hand.
Bai Qingqing was about to let go when her back was pressed down by a big hand, causing her body to pounce onto Winstonâs chest.
Anâan, who was happily drinking away, was clamped between the two of them.
