Beauty and the Beasts

“Howl~” Parker let out a sharp leopard cry from his throat and fell against the window ledge.

He immediately got up as if nothing had happened, checking the photograph at the first instant.

“Thank goodness the phone wasn’t spoiled.” Parker heaved a sigh of relief, opened up the photo, then threw an angry glance at Muir. “It’s all your fault. The photo is all blurry.”

Bai Qingqing moaned and finally woke up, unable to stand the noise.

Parker shut up and posted that blurry photo. It was fine as long as it could be seen that he was kissing Qingqing. He then put the phone away.

The netizens were too dirty-minded. Although they were joking, he didn’t wish to let Qingqing see them.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the second photo made the netizens, who would never complain about there being too much excitement, become even more agitated.

“Why has the photo become so blurry? As expected, is the girlfriend someone else’s? Parker looks like he was beaten up after sneaking a kiss!”—This comment was extremely close to the truth.

Bai Qingqing rubbed her eyes, then sat up. When she saw Parker, she said happily, “You’re back? Aren’t you busy these two days?”

At the mention of work, Parker felt even more upset. He said gloomily, “They say that I’ll be going to Hengdian to film in a few days. Where’s Hengdian?”

He was really scared that he’d have to go overseas. At the mention of traveling to far places, his countenance turned pale.

Bai Qingqing immediately looked it up before saying, “It isn’t very far. It’ll definitely not exceed the range of your senses.”

Parker heaved a sigh of relief.

“When will you be leaving?” Only then did Bai Qingqing realize that Parker’s job would require him to go on work trips often. In the future, she might not get to meet him much. She wondered if this job was really a good thing for him.

However, Parker quite enjoyed the audience’s love, and for now, it was still considered to be worth it.

“I’ll be setting off at the end of the month, and the filming will start at the beginning of next month.” As Parker said this, he put his hand to his ear, making a calling gesture. “I’ll give you a video call at night. This world is good. As long as the distance isn’t too far away, I’ll be able to see you anytime.”

Bai Qingqing squeezed out a smile and punched him in the chest. “Work hard. Anyway, I have to go to school, and we won’t get to meet often in a week. It’ll be no different when compared to when you’re at home.”

Although this was true, Parker still couldn’t feel happy about this.

The little eagles woke up from the noise, too. Parker squatted by the window and watched as they learned to walk.

Muir reckoned that the little eagles should be hungry and thus went off to prepare their food. The only adults left in the room were Parker and Bai Qingqing.

“When will you be coming back?” Bai Qingqing also walked over to the window and stroked the little eagles as she asked.

Parker said, “They say that they’ll try to finish it up before the new year.”

“So long? That’ll be over two months. My winter break will be wasted!” Bai Qingqing finally couldn’t help but pout, lowering her head and giving off an upset feeling.

“What winter break?” Parker asked curiously, having the feeling that it was something great.

“It’s a long break. I’ll have about one month of rest time where I don’t have to go to school,” Bai Qingqing said.

Parker opened his eyes wide, then said decisively, “I’ll be back before your winter break.”

“This isn’t something within your control.” Bai Qingqing expressed her disbelief.

Parker smiled proudly, putting up two fingers near his chin, twitching his brows, and wearing a cool expression. “I’m a popular guy now. I can throw my weight around.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

“You… you should tone it down a little,” Bai Qingqing thought before saying carefully.

Parker laughed, pinching her tender face. “I was just joking. I’m the main lead. They’ll prioritize shooting my parts, anyway.”

“That’s good, then,” said Bai Qingqing as she leaned against his shoulder.

Muir came back. He carried the little eagles into the vine nest and fed them with ground meat.

The little eagles had a good appetite. This showed that they were all very healthy.
