Beauty and the Beasts

“Where do you live?”

In the car, Zhang Xin asked as he sat in the front passenger seat.

Lying in the backseat by herself, Bai Qingqing couldn’t clearly hear the voices from the outside world. It took her a while to react. She feebly told him Muir’s villa address.

When Zhang Xin heard the name ‘Splendid Villa’, he glanced at her in astonishment. “You live there, too?”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing didn’t have the energy to notice Zhang Xin’s reaction, and she was struggling to reach her hand into her pants pocket.

Shucks, her phone wasn’t with her. Ah! She had asked Tang Li to put it in their dorm room.

What’s Curtis’s cell phone number again? Stomach hurts so much, can’t recall.

“Can you please… drive faster?” Bai Qingqing buried her face on the sofa and curled up her body in pain.

Zhang Xin immediately asked the chauffeur to go faster.

No idea if Bai Qingqing was imagining things, she felt that the journey home was taking a particularly long time today. But they should be almost there.

With much effort, she raised her head and looked out the window. Turned out, they hadn’t entered the villa yet.

“Why so slow?” Zhang Xin glanced at her and urged anxiously.

“Traffic jam.” The chauffeur said, “There’s a car accident in front.”

Feeling completely devoid of strength, Bai Qingqing’s body curled up even more tightly.

She really was about to give birth.

“When… when can we reach?” Bai Qingqing asked intermittently.

The chauffeur said fearfully, “Hard to say.”

Zhang Xin flew into a rage. “Why didn’t you check carefully earlier!” As he spoke, he turned his head and saw that it was congested behind as well. They couldn’t turn around even if they wanted to.

“Bai Qingqing, I’ll support you the remaining distance. We’ll be there in ten minutes or so,” said Zhang Xin.

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “I won’t be able to walk.”

If she stood up, she definitely couldn’t hold herself back from giving birth to the egg. Bai Qingqing decided to stay in the car.

Zhang Xin pounded the door in frustration. He turned his head and looked at Bai Qingqing, and then placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it to comfort her.

Bai Qingqing had no strength to reject his contact. Curled up in the back seat, all of her attention was focused on her lower abdomen.

Time ticked second by second as her pulse beat. After an unknown period of time, Bai Qingqing finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

As her track pants were loose, having no other choice, Bai Qingqing clenched her fists and let herself go.

Forget it, give birth first and deal with it later. If she continued holding it in, she really would go mad.

The restrained moans of a girl rang in the car, despite her best attempts to control herself. It was also because of this that she appeared particularly tormented.

Zhang Xin shook his legs anxiously and stuck out his head to look at the road ahead.

“The roads have cleared up. We can drive ahead now.”

Indeed, shortly after, Bai Qingqing felt the car start moving at a constant speed.

She relaxed her body and clamped her legs to block the view of the round bulge behind her pants.

Zhang Xin turned his head and said delightedly, “We’ll be there soon. How are you feeling?”

“Much better now.” A faint smile appeared on Bai Qingqing’s pale face. Though faint, it exuded an intense maternal gentleness.

Zhang Xin suddenly fell into a daze. He felt that the girl before his eyes was inexplicably charming. Her frailty only made him want to give her the best care possible.

Bai Qingqing felt very nervous from being stared at, and her imagination started running wild. Did he realize what’s going on? Don’t look away, keep looking at my face.

In order not to let Zhang Xin look at her lower body, Bai Qingqing smiled even more sweetly.

Emotions were a wondrous and infectious thing. Sensing the change in Bai Qingqing, Zhang Xin snapped out of his thoughts.

“You… you look much better.” Zhang Xin’s gaze flickered. He looked here and there, everywhere except at her face.

Bai Qingqing pretended to be resting, and Zhang Xin also sat upright, glancing at her through the rearview mirror from time to time.
