Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing said, “That’s right. The price is even better.”

Curtis smiled, feeding the prawn he had just peeled into her mouth. “Although it can’t be compared to what we have at home, it’s a lot better than those foods outside. Have more.”

Bai Qingqing ate the prawn, then fed the prawn she had made a mess of to peel it to Curtis. “You eat, too. These are all food that you like. It’s too much of a waste for me to eat them.”

The two of them fed each other, habitually returning to how they had gotten along in the beastmen world. It caused many customers and staff in the restaurant to roll their eyes.

Being single, the waitress who served them received 10,000 points of damage, having a strong understanding of what it meant to be tortured by a public display of affection.

She could only curse in her heart: Those who flaunt their affections die faster.

The few exquisite seafood dishes satisfied Curtis. Bai Qingqing’s mood also turned for the better. She took a sip of a cold drink and said, “Oh right, I saw Muir today.”

Curtis’s body paused and he looked toward Bai Qingqing’s face.

Bai Qingqing quickly said, “He isn’t here. He’s somewhere very far away. I saw him on the television.” As Bai Qingqing said this, she became agitated, taking a deep breath before saying in a go, “Damn! To think that he participated in the Olympics! It gave me such a fright!”

Hearing the mention of “Muir” and “Olympics”, everyone who overheard it looked toward Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing covered her mouth and lowered her volume, continuing to talk to Curtis, “Sigh, he’s really too much. In a swimming competition between humans, he threw the others so far behind him. Isn’t he scared that he’ll be discovered? And how did he get himself an identity?”

Curtis’s gaze was fixed on her expression. Although Bai Qingqing was complaining about Muir, her upward curling lips couldn’t be suppressed. This made him feel very displeased.

“You seem very happy?” Curtis’s tone dropped, seeming like a great storm was coming.

Bai Qingqing’s voice paused and she shook her head, then nodded. “Of course I’m happy that he can blend in here. But his situation is really worrying. He’s being too conspicuous.”

“Hmph.” Curtis let out a cold snort but actually agreed with Muir’s way of doing things.

It might be dangerous, but it was effective.

He only had the time to find out and study this world because he was by Snow’s side. If he was far away from her, he’d also find a way to become famous, even if it meant that his identity would be exposed.

Curtis was thankful that he had been summoned to his mate’s side. Muir must have been feeling very bad during these few days to be so far away from her.

Curtis rubbed her head and said, “Are you done eating?”

“En.” Bai Qingqing got close to Curtis’s ears and said, grinning, “Let’s go to the seaside tomorrow. You can have a big feast there! Will there be any problem with your job? Do you get a break from work tomorrow since it’s the weekend?”

Hearing that, Curtis knew that his guess was right. The sea wasn’t within the humans’ grasp yet. As for the job which he had to keep on changing clothes to show others?

Curtis let out a smirk. “It’s fine. Let’s go to the seaside.”

“En.” Bai Qingqing answered with a smile. At the thought of Curtis’s attitude at the office, she didn’t feel at ease and decided to give Manager Qin a call after going home.

The two of them left the restaurant and then went shopping at the department store.

The clothes that Curtis was wearing were what Bai Qingqing had bought last week. They were clean but a little wrinkled. It could only last because he didn’t sweat. Usually, people who continued to wear the same set of clothes for a week in summer would stink badly.

Bai Qingqing wanted to buy two sets of better clothing for him but was rejected. The reason was that the clothing company that he endorsed was very satisfied with his advertisement and had given him a lot of clothes for free.
