Beauty and the Beasts

Mu Tian was the first to dash over to the dining table. “It smells so good. I want to eat.”

The two young tigers paused, exchanged a glance, then ate even faster.

The meat on the table didn’t include their older brothers’ share! There wasn’t enough meat to go around!

“Didn’t you eat in the morning?” Although Bai Qingqing said that, she still beckoned for them to sit down.

Mu Tian sliced a piece of barbecued meat that weighed over 500 grams and ate as he said, “I want to eat. Barbecued meat smells really good.”

Mu Hai also walked over and started to eat silently.

Mu Hai said, “I don’t think there’s enough food to go around.. Is there still frozen meat in the fridge?”

“We’ll cook more if there isn’t enough. Just eat. You’re growing, don’t starve yourself,” Bai Qingqing said dotingly, then sliced a piece of meat for each of them. Winston’s nose suddenly twitched, and he looked toward Mu Ya.

Mu Ya sensed Uncle Winston’s gaze and subconsciously buried his head.

“You have the scent of a girl on you,” Winston said.

Everyone instantly turned to look toward Mu Ya.

Wen Lin and Wen Ze looked excited and curious, while Mu Tian and Mu Hai looked worried. The three of them were on the same boat. If their third brother were to be caught being in a relationship at an early age, they’d definitely get it bad too.

Bai Qingqing, Muir, and Winston felt worried.

Beastmen had unique customs and only had one chance of becoming mates with someone. They had actually been worried about the problem of their children finding mates, afraid that they would lose themselves in the casual modern world.

Therefore, they were very against them falling in love at a young age.

Mu Ya swallowed the meat in his mouth and thought of an excuse while doing so. He replied, “The classmate sitting next to me is a girl.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a slight sigh of relief. “That’s very normal. What about you, Mu Tian and Mu Hai? Are the classmates sitting next to you a guy or a girl?”

Mu Tian and Mu Ya heaved a secret sigh of relief. Mu Tian grinned and said, “I’m sitting with Eldest Brother.”

“That’s good, too. You can take care of each other.” Bai Qingqing smiled.

Mu Ya suddenly said, “Mom, we’re thinking of not coming back in the afternoon in the future?”

“Why?” Bai Qingqing asked.

“We can just eat dinner at home. There’s no need for us to come back in the afternoon. It’ll make us stand out, making it hard for us to get along with the rest of the class,” Mu Ya explained rationally.

Bai Qingqing was surprised. She didn’t expect that the one to say this would be her third son, who was the quietest of them all. To think that he was the one taking the initiative.

“I’ll leave it to you guys. I’m just afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if you use the table to sleep. If you’re too lazy to walk, then don’t come back,” Bai Qingqing said.

Mu Ya smiled. Meanwhile, Mu Tian and Mu Hai secretly complained about it in their hearts.

They didn’t wish to take an afternoon nap on the stool-sized table! There were close to two hours for food and afternoon break. They could have used that time to play freely, but that plan was gone now.

Thankfully, they were day students and still had free time at night. It was much better compared to their classmates.

Having come over from the beastmen world, Muir and Winston would never be able to value their sons as importantly as their lives. They quickly tossed away all their worries and doubts, and Bai Qingqing was the only one who was still worried.

“You guys have grown up. In another few years, you’ll have to look for your partners,” Bai Qingqing said unconsciously.

The three young men perked their ears, feeling unsettled.

Afraid that they’d have a rebellious phase, after saying that, she looked at their countenances. Seeing that they didn’t show any repulsion, she continued, “Mommy isn’t a conservative person, and I’m not against getting into a relationship at a young age. However, you guys are different from ordinary humans. You’re beastmen. After you choose your mates, you won’t have any chance to change them. Therefore, I hope that you guys treat relationships with more care. At the very least, don’t get into a relationship during the third year of high school.”

Mu Ya instantly paused and looked up at his mommy. “Why?”
