âWhy did you transform into a snake? You might as well have run around naked!â Bai Qingqing felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, it was still early and there wasnât anyone outside.
Curtis merely smiled and didnât make a sound.
He could understand why Daddy and Mommy Bai did that. If he found a male sleeping with his female offspring in the stone castle, he would also beat that fellow to death right away.
Seeing that Snow was on pretty good terms with her parents, he felt that he shouldnât fall out with them.
Bai Qingqing gave him an approving look, then opened her wardrobe and stuffed him in.
âDonât make any noise. Iâll be back after lunch,â Bai Qingqing whispered.
Curtis nodded.
At the dining table, the family of four chatted while eating, like they always did. Though, Bai Qingqing was a tad out of touch with the modern world and couldnât butt into their conversation.
When her parents almost finished eating, Bai Qingqing lowered her head and mumbled, âDad, Mom, can you give me some money to buy a handphone?â
Daddy and Mommy Bai both put on stern expressions. Mommy Bai said, âWe just bought you a handphone last month and now you lost it. What a waste of money. Weâll get you another one when you prove capable of keeping your things properly.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing looked up and said with a serious expression, âMom, senior high students canât do without a phone these days. Sometimes the teachers will send us the assignments via WeChat. I canât do without a phone.â
âThatâs true.â Mommy Bai was still hesitating when Daddy Bai got to his feet and said, âWait here. Iâll get the money.â
âMm.â Bai Qingqingâs heart bloomed with joy.
Since her previous phone cost 1,000 yuan, her dad would also give her 1,000 yuan this time, right? She would use 500 yuan to buy a phone. The remaining 500 yuan, she would combine with her savings of 500 yuan to rent an apartment and buy a few meals for Curtis.
Women tended to be more shrewd when it came to money. Seeing her husband relent, Mommy Bai said, âBuy a less expensive one this time. It will do as long as it is functional. Just give her 500 yuan.â
âAh?â Bai Qingqingâs face fell. So now she had to buy a handphone that cost 250 yuan? Did such cheap phones exist? It was difficult to even find a 500 yuan one, eh?
Mommy Bai understood her daughterâs expression and said irritably, âForget it if you donât manage to buy one. Ask your classmates for help first. You can buy one when Daddy and Mommyâs salary comes in.â
Daddy Bai had already brought 500 yuan over. Hearing this, he cast a questioning look at his daughter.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly took the money from him. âNever mind. Iâll buy it if I manage to find one. If not, Iâll bring the money back.â
Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai never once doubted their daughterâs character, so they agreed without hesitation.
Bai Xiaofan shook his head and cast a pitiful look at his older sister.
After breakfast, Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai went off to work.
Bai Qingqing first sneaked into her parentsâ room and found her momâs bras. She picked one up and roughly gauged it by holding it against her body. It seemed like it could fit. She then rummaged through her dadâs clothing and took out a set of sports attire, before returning to her room with all the loot.
âThank god Momâs size is the same as mine. If not, how am I going to go out today?â Bai Qingqing said in relief as she changed into her motherâs bra.
Curtis reached a hand into her clothes and, after touching, couldnât help but smile. âMust you wear this?â
Bai Qingqing glared at him. âYouâre not to laugh!â
Curtis obediently wiped the smile off his face. However, his restrained expression angered Bai Qingqing even more. She let out a murky breath and pulled her dadâs clothes over his body.
Daddy Bai was 1.78m, whereas Curtisâs height was between 2.1 and 2.2m. Naturally, his clothes were a few sizes too small for Curtis.
Thankfully, Curtis was merely tall but not bulky, so he could still put them on. As Bai Qingqing had taken her dadâs longest clothes and a pair of knee-length shorts, they didnât look all that weird on Curtis.
Mm, that should work.
