Beauty and the Beasts

With her hand still inside her bra, Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked at Curtis with dead fish eyes. “You’re laughing? Isn’t it all thanks to you guys?”

If she hadn’t given birth, would her cup size have enlarged? She was a D-cup, to begin with, so she really didn’t care to get any bigger, okay?

Curtis stopped laughing and laid down and watched as Bai Qingqing struggled.

Knock knock.

A knock sounded on the door again. This time, Mommy Bai’s voice was heard.

“Qingqing, is there someone else in your room?” Mommy Bai sounded anxious.

Bai Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly pulled a T-shirt over her head. “No. Who else could possibly be in my room?”

“Open the door.” There was no room for negotiation in Mommy Bai’s tone. Bai Qingqing heard the footsteps outside and immediately knew that her dad was walking over, too. This made her even more panicked.

“Oh, wait a minute, I’m changing.” As she spoke, Bai Qingqing pulled Curtis and mouthed to him, “Quickly hide yourself. You mustn’t be discovered by my parents.”

Curtis nodded and got out of bed naked. Without even putting on a single piece of clothing, he jumped out of the window.

There was nothing Bai Qingqing could do about it. She could only watch with an overwhelmed expression as Curtis jumped out. Meanwhile, the knocking sounds grew more urgent. She pinched her face and adjusted her expression before walking over to open the door.

Mommy Bai was standing at the center with Daddy Bai beside her. Bai Xiaofan was also there, a dazed look on his face.

Bai Qingqing chuckled awkwardly. “What are you guys doing?”

Mommy Bai first sized her up before walking into the room. Upon which, she immediately wrinkled her nose.

“Why are your blankets on the floor?” Mommy Bai asked after surveying the room. Staring at the hollow window frame, her brows furrowed even more tightly. “Why’s the window broken?”

As she spoke, Mommy Bai walked around the blankets towards the window.

Furry also entered the room with everyone. The minute it entered, it started pawing the blanket on the floor.

“Hey, go over to one side.” Bai Qingqing gently kicked at it, but Furry didn’t budge. She didn’t dare to make too big a movement. The nerves in her heart were taut, and she was so nervous that she gripped her pants.

Curtis! Curtis! Please don’t be discovered!

Ah! Oh shucks! He’s completely naked!

Aiyah, would he be seen by passers-by?

“Probably smashed by some kid. It’s been broken since yesterday.” Bai Qingqing didn’t even dare to let out a big breath. She braced herself and lied. “You guys gave me a scare. How could I have secretly brought someone home? Even if I did bring someone home, I would have shown that person to you guys.”

Mommy Bai stuck her head out of the window and, peering around, didn’t discover anything out of the ordinary. When she turned her head, she saw Furry lifting the blanket. The bed also looked clean, and no trace of filth could be seen. Only then did she say with a dubious expression, “I thought I heard a man chuckle earlier.”

Her daughter had always been obedient and sensible, so Mommy Bai didn’t believe that she would fool around. But all three of them had heard that chuckle earlier…

“Oh, I heard that too.” Bai Qingqing nodded with an earnest expression. “A man was passing by outside earlier. Without the glass window, the sound-proofing effects are poor. That must be why you guys thought it came from my room.”

“Really?” Mommy Bai let out a big sigh of relief. Seeing her mother’s reaction, Bai Qingqing also let out a sigh of relief, her back soaked with cold sweat.

“Oh, right. Why did you sleep on the floor instead of the bed?” Mommy Bai raised another question.

As Bai Qingqing had just relaxed, her body felt a tad limp. She leaned against the wall and replied, “The Simmons mattress is spoiled; it keeps slanting outwards. So, I decided to simply sleep on the floor.”

Having gained some experience in lying, she went about it in a much calmer manner now. She sounded pretty convincing.
