Beauty and the Beasts

Lanky was afraid of losing this support and followed Winston the entire way. Naturally, Winston heard him, but before he was chased off, Lanky was stopped by the guards from Splendid Villa.

Lanky stood outside the luxurious villa district and looked at it for a while before mumbling, “I knew Brother Tiger wasn’t ordinary.”

He then returned to tell this to the others, feeling at ease. Someone who could afford to stay in a place like this would definitely not care to swindle a meal from them. Brother Tiger must really be wanting to take them in.

Winston only let down his guard after returning home. He lay on the living room’s sofa and rested.

Not long later, the scent of alcohol spread out and all the males in the house came out.

Parker leaned against the railing on the second floor, covering his nose and asking, “Winston, what did you get on yourself? It stinks so much. I was woken up from the stench.”

Curtis also came walking out with his book, frowning as he threw a look at Winston.

Eagle beastmen had a duller sense of smell, so it didn’t affect Muir that much.

Winston raised his arm and took a whiff, realizing that it was true. He dragged his heavy body to stand up. “I’ll go take a bath, then.”

Parker saw the bottle in his hand and asked curiously, “What is it that you’re holding? Is it food? I gave you two portions of meat just now. You should give this bottle to me.”

Winston immediately looked at him warily, saying solemnly, “This is for Qingqing.”

Parker felt even more curious now. After Winston went upstairs, he bent over to take a whiff. “It should be fine to let me smell it, right? Oh, you’re really too smelly. Did you drink spoiled grape wine?”

Curtis’s ears also perked up, and he leaned against the railing as if he didn’t have any backbone, waiting for Winston’s explanation.

If it was something unsafe, he wouldn’t allow him to give it to Snow.

Winston said, “This is wine brewed with other things. It isn’t sweet. The taste is alright, the energy too.”

“This won’t do. I have to taste it. I understand Qingqing’s preference. What if she doesn’t like it?” Parker said.

Winston felt that it made sense. Qingqing loved the food that Parker made the most. He should be the one who understood Qingqing’s preferences the most.

Therefore, Winston opened the beer bottle lid unwillingly, handing it over, “Don’t drink too much.”

Parker quickly took it and sniffed at the opening in distaste. It could be because the disinfecting hadn’t been done thoroughly or that another person had held it before that Parker smelled the scent of other people.

Wiping the opening, Parker raised his head and poured the beer into his mouth without making any contact with the opening as he gulped down.

“That’s enough.” Winston snatched the beer bottle from him.

His heart ached as he looked at the level of liquid left in the bottle. He didn’t expect that when he turned his head, he saw that Curtis had come too.

Curtis took the beer bottle away and carefully put his tongue into the bottle opening, licking the liquid inside.

He then returned the beer to Winston while wearing a constipated expression.

Winston heaved a sigh of relief and brought the beer back into his bedroom.

After taking a bath, he was refreshed too. He immediately went to send the beer to Bai Qingqing.

It was still lunch break and the campus ground was quiet. This allowed Winston to successfully find Bai Qingqing’s classroom.

It was a nice coincidence that the teacher in front had fallen asleep, too. Winston walked straight in and stood next to Bai Qingqing’s side.

The workload on high school students was heavy, and they didn’t have much time to sleep. Therefore, Bai Qingqing was sleeping very soundly, her mouth slightly opened. He could see her two small white front teeth and a bit of her pink tongue.

Winston went into a daze from seeing this and his breathing lightened, too. He placed his big palm on top of his mate’s head, and when he felt the familiar warmth, an indescribable sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
